Chapter 359: Chapter 223: Finished Fighting, Time to Sleep_2
“Huh?” The Little Angel cocked his head in confusion.
“Huh!” Ange growled back.
“Huh!” Little Angel’s eyes brightened, vigorously nodding.
The noises they made startled the Goblin who hadn’t yet moved far away—making him spin around quickly.
Noticing Ange, the Goblin—Big Mouth—let out a big yelp but quickly stopped, realizing something and then jogged over: “Sir, what are you doing here?”
“Don’t ask, just stay put,” Negris’s voice echoed off Ange, “and what about you? You never stay in one place for too long. Even doing business in the Land of Fallen, impressive.”
The Goblin was, of course, Silver Coin, and at Negris’s words, he seemed confused: “But I reported to you, sir.”
No need to ask again. Most likely, the communication was cut off at Ange as he found Silver Coin’s business uninteresting and couldn’t be bothered to keep up.
Negris sighed and simply said: “Alright, you do what you need to do. Don’t go too far though. If there’s a need to run, we can take you with us.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Upon hearing this, Silver Coin obediently stepped aside.
The Little Angel was held by Ange, but the remaining Angels were free. One after another, they summoned Holy Spirits and unfurled their Light Wings.
At least six Angels, after their Holy Spirit Possession, could emanate the Holy Light Flash. The six of them directed beams of light towards the Purple Gold Skeleton.
The Purple Gold Skeleton swung its fists—one punch after another—and unbelievably deflected the beams of light as though they were simply balls to bat away.
Everyone stared in disbelief. How could the Holy Light Flash be countered just like that?
Nothing was impossible to Ange, who watched unperturbed. Back then, the Little Angel single-handedly held back an enemy’s Holy Light Flash. As long as the approach was proper, breaking the Holy Light Flash could be achieved.
However, it was apparent that the Purple Gold Skeleton relied on brute force to break through. In the process, the Soul Armor on its hands had completely evaporated.
Yet, some beings’ bodies were far tougher than any armor—the Purple Gold Skeleton’s bones tougher than the Soul Armor. The armor being shattered did not cause any harm to the creature.
Suddenly, a booming voice resonated from the wall: “God said: The Original Sin is a heavy shackle. Bind!”
Seven large chains of light sprung from the ground, wrapping around the Purple Gold Skeleton.
However, the Shackle of Original Sin couldn’t stop the advance of the Purple Gold Skeleton. It only slowed it down slightly, dragging the chains until they broke.
“God said: At the end of your vision lies a wall separating other shores, unbreakable—the Wall of the Other Shore.” Suddenly, a wall of light appeared before the Purple Gold Skeleton.
The Purple Gold Skeleton, without hesitation, charged directly into it.
The unbreakable Wall of the Other Shore shattered with a loud boom, causing Dyson’s face to pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
As the enemy drew closer, the priests, Angels, and Holy Spirit knights on the walls joined forces. Columns of white light erupted from the ground, and balls of light rained down from the wall, engulfing the Purple Gold Skeleton.
Yet, the Skeleton did not slow down. It continued straight towards the wall, enduring a barrage of attacks relentlessly.
Even as its Soul Armor evaporated and revealed its skeletal frame, the creature did not stop. Nothing seemed able to stand in its way, in its longing for the wall…
A God’s Knight stepped forward and loudly declared: “Knights blessed by God, the time has come for your sacrifice! May the Holy Light guide our path forward!”
With that, he jumped from the wall.
The knights around him did not hesitate to follow.
Inspired, several God’s Knights jumped as well, but many more hesitated.
The first God’s Knight to leap down led his men to meet the Purple Gold Skeleton, their collective strength forming a Sacred Charge!
In front of them, a light shone brightly—it truly seemed as though the Holy Light was guiding their way forward. And then, they collided with the Purple Gold Skeleton.
Ever seen a bowling ball hit pins? Heroism couldn’t transform into power. Their battalion was crushed and strewn about like they’d been run over by a chariot.
Following the initial wave, the rest of the God’s Knights stopped in their tracks, despair seeping in. The enemy was too terrifying—they felt like bugs about to be crushed under a wheel.
“Hallelu – Messiah – Poxia – Sisma – Amaka—,” a despairing God’s Knight rang his chest plate while singing a hymn. He stood in the direct path of the Purple Gold Skeleton, a layer of white light condensing around him—Holy Blessing.
Under his lead, the remaining God’s Knights also stepped into line, casting Holy Blessing.
“This is the Wall of Divine Blessing! Long live the God’s Knights!” someone screamed hoarsely.
Bang! The Purple Gold Skeleton crashed into the Wall of Divine Blessing, then into the city wall.
If one could have slowed down to see, at the point of impact, the city wall first indented. The stone around it waved like water, continuously swelling and spreading under the pressure, before finally exploding.
But everything happened too fast. No one could see clearly—they only saw the crash, the explosion, and the gaping hole in the wall amidst the billowing smoke.
Ange and the others were on the city wall in area four, far from the point of impact in area one. But they still felt the force of the impact, struggling to stand steady on the shaking wall.
Those who managed to keep their footing stared anxiously at the point of impact, dimly making out the large hole. The city wall was breached—what now?
