Chapter 560: The bloody female wargod’s tears (III)
During the time of his chant, the golden light on Long Haochen’s body kept gaining in intensity. In the air, large amounts of light essence started to resonate with him. But still, he had a very disappointed look on his face. Just as he expected, the same incantation won’t always show the same power every time. Luck couldn’t stand on his side forever.
Long Haochen was chanting for Sacred Rain. But this time, he couldn’t gather all the light essence, and didn’t give birth to the previous miraculous scene. It only ended up as a Rain of Light.
A brilliant golden pillar of light appeared from nowhere, illuminating the whole surrounding area. Although Rain of Light was by far incomparable with Sacred Rain, in the end it remained a healing spell of the eighth step, sufficient to cover a circumference of a thousand square meters.
In its range, all the warriors and mages in the Southeastern Mountain Pass were very effectively healed, and the demons let out some greenish smoke, as their offense greatly weakened.
Still, Rain of Light was in the end only a rain of light. Its area of effect, healing efficiency, and duration were all by far incomparable to the supra forbidden spell Sacred Rain. So the demon offense was only slightly contained, yielding a short time for resting to the soldiers. After the healing, Rain of Light was already over, and the demon army continued its charge in tides.
Lin Xin had drawn back slightly. The continuous offensive spell greatly consumed his spiritual energy, and although he had the boost from the Fire Dragon Wings, he required some time of adjustment to recover his spiritual energy.
Without his powerful magic attacks, the demons immediately continued their charge against the fortress. At their vanguard were actually some of the Luke Clan’s Invisible Demons. They couldn’t drill through the tough walls, but aimed their sharp pointed arms forward without hesitation.
Han Yu responded calmly to these enemies, not greedy for achievements. Both hands holding his shield, he encompassed the surroundings with his senses, perfectly defending Long Haochen and Lin Xin behind him.
Holy Light Imbued Shield, Shield Charge, Divine Obstruction, and Shield Wall. Several great shield defensive abilities were used by Han Yu, who stood unmoving, yet stopped the advance of all demons in a range of twenty meters.
Like a streak of gray light, the light of death, Cai’er moved forth. Everywhere she passed, even the tenacious Demonic Bear had no way to resist in the slightest. The sharpness of the Sickle of the God of Death could only be described as terrible, and further adding that to her godly speed, all the holes in Han Yu’s defense on the sidelines were perfectly complemented.
Long Haochen still didn’t participate in the attack, releasing one Guardian Knight spell after another.
Faith Halo, Guardian’s Favor, Toughness Halo, Spiritual Gathering Halo, Sacred Halo.
Every halo-type ability far surpassed ordinary knights’ when released by him, covering an extremely large area. He could even throw the area in a certain direction to let it spread and cover the other sides of the fortress.
Due to his series of light spells, almost a third of the warriors in the fort were boosted by some halo. Although this series of halos didn’t provide an enormous boost, it had the properties of the light element, not only greatly boosting the allies’ morale, but also increasing both the soldiers’ offensive strength and survivability.
In the lot, the most remarkable one was Sacred Halo. This was one of the most useful ones in battles against demons. In its area, all the warriors’ attacks gained properties of sacred light. This tremendously increased their killing power against demons, and upon entering its range, the strength of any enemy of the darkness attribute immediately plummeted.
For sure, compared to defense and boosts, Long Haochen’s offense was far better. But he was not in a situation of one against one or a decisive struggle of one against many. A Guardian Knight’s usefulness in the battlefield was far beyond compare with a Retribution Knight’s one.
The advantages he had as god’s chosen one made the boost provided by each of Long Haochen’s ability at least three times more effective than an ordinary knight’s. These amplifying techniques with a low consumption were almost uninterruptedly fired. For a moment, a third of the area covered by the Southeastern Fort was enveloped in a drizzling golden splendor.
After a short time of recovery, Lin Xin also returned to battle, launching batteries of attacks. As far as his Heart of Fire’s flames reached, blue seas of fire greatly restricted the demons’ advance and attacks. And at the time his full powered attacks came, Han Yu and Cai’er would vanish to the sidelines, recovering some spiritual energy.
The mutual understanding between them was already extremely deep. Even after having separated for so long, their joint attacks were still that harmonious.
This mutual understanding came from their absolute confidence. This was especially due to Long Haochen’s presence, acting as the soul of the team, enabling the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad to make powerful moves without the slightest fear.
Clang. Sounds of metal rang on Long Haochen’s left side, accompanied with an excited shout, “Cai’er, just focus on the right side and leave the left side to me.”
Long Haochen inclined his head sideways, to see that Wang Yuanyuan had joined his side. Those metallic sounds of collision came from the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield and Bloodstorm.
“Yuanyuan, you…” Long Haochen said in surprise.
Immersed in the halos liberated by Long Haochen, Wang Yuanyuan’s body was enveloped by a layer of golden gloss.
“Boss, how could I be left out? Did you know, I have been waiting for our reunion to fight alongside each other for for far too long!”
Having received the healing from Angel’s Embrace, Wang Yuanyuan recovered some of her strength. She was the one with the greatest mental change.
The arrival of Long Haochen and the others admittedly enabled her to loosen the deep pressure she put on herself, but also aroused an inexhaustible combativeness in her. Being able to fight alongside her most familiar companions was an absolute happiness in her eyes.
Seeing Long Haochen and the other four coordinate with tacit understanding on the front, how could she rest peacefully behind? After recovering mentally for a few minutes, she immediately joined Long Haochen’s side.
Long Haochen didn’t stop Wang Yuanyuan, he knew that he had no way to stop her, “Okay. Then let’s fight alongside. Yuanyuan, activate your chains. ”
“Yes Captain!” Wang Yuanyuan shouted aloud.
At the time of their initial separation, the members of the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad all voluntarily deactivated the Soul Binding Chains, because they didn’t know what they would encounter in this time of separation. No one wanted to implicate their comrades. After reuniting, the Soul Binding Chains connected one after another, symbolizing them reuniting as a whole. After reuniting, all the members of their squad had become far stronger than before. Their experiences of life and deaths made them treasure this team all the more, while their experience and strength grew dramatically.
Five of the seven were already reunited, and the strength of their team was regained for the most part. With Wang Yuanyuan covering the left side and putting on a powerful display of might with her two weapons, Long Haochen was sitting in the center of the formation, putting his whole hearte into using his buffing magic.
The higher-ups from the Warrior Temple had noticed this change since long before. The sudden appearance of these four to join the battlefield astonished them greatly, but, because of the dense holy light attribute emanating from Long Haochen and Han Yu, they didn’t block them. The sight of Long Haochen’s Golden Foundation Armor then greatly surprised them.
The Golden Foundation Knights were the core of the Knight Temples’ force. Unless it’s for some important mission, they won’t easily leave the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. So how come a Golden Foundation knight suddenly led a group to the Southeastern Mountain Pass?
The Wargods and War Emperors under Qiu Yonghao’s lead all stood opposite to the eight great demon gods. Seeing Long Haochen release one boosting spell after another, they couldn’t help but secretly feel high praises.
That’s a Guardian Knights! Among all vocations, Guardian Knights were of extreme use in the battlefield. They could defend, support, attack, and even heal. A powerful all-rounded Guardian Knight could totally reverse the tides.
Qiu Yonghao and the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple were floating in the sky, overlooking the situation distinctly. Ever since the arrival of Long Haochen’s group with the launch of Rain of Light, the pressure on the Southeastern Mountain Pass had visibly alleviated. The demons’ offense was greatly suppressed. The great assistance of these few was analyzed the most deeply by Qiu Yonghao, in his capacity as chief of the Warrior Temple.
Knight, mage, assassin, knight, warrior. Wait, Wang Yuanyuan is actually coordinating with them without a sound. Could they be from that Demon Hunt Squad of hers?
Reaching this point, Qiu Yonghao couldn’t help but feel deep shock. In his memories immediately resurged the time when a youngster left the sword intent’s deep secrets inside the Warrior Temple.
Wait, could the Golden Foundation Armor using nonstop boosting spells be him? So he actually progressed to such an extent in less than two years? Recalling that conference that took place less than two years ago in the Temple Alliance, Qiu Yonghao couldn’t help but feel complex feelings arise.
“What’s the role of a Guardian Knight in the battlefield? That’s not defense nor healing much less attack! It’s to prolong the lives of his comrades-in-arms as much as possible. As long as you understand this, and manage it, you will be a truly qualified Guardian Knight.”
His grandfather’s words reverberating in his mind, Haochen’s use of the halos became more and more adept, his halos flowing together with increased efficiency. The recovery from the Golden Foundation Armor as well as his own gave him an almost unending supply of spiritual energy to fully use these halo-type spell reaching at most the fifth step. In terms of pure speed, although he was still below a pure mage such as Lin Xin, his range was far beyond compare with a mage of same rank, or even Lin Xin.
