Immortal Creed

"Sanctuary!"

Isabelle crossed her hands over her chest, her expression solemn, as a translucent image of Heavenly Light, composed of light elements, appeared behind her.

As her words fell, a massive white light barrier appeared in front of the Rebel Army soldiers, shielding them from the rapidly approaching impact.

Liens and the others also employed their respective defensive measures to withstand the aftershock of the collision between the light cannon and the giant sword.

"Boom!"

A powerful impact struck the light barrier, causing another deafening roar. The barrier flickered continuously, as if it would shatter at any moment, but it stubbornly held on, just like the person who cast it.

The aftershock subsided, the earth no longer trembled, the fierce wind no longer howled, and the dust resettled on the ground.

Isabelle breathed a sigh of relief, withdrawing the light barrier, and a scene of a massive upheaval entered everyone's view.

This battlefield, where the two armies clashed, had been transformed from its original flat plain into an uneven, hilly terrain due to the aftershocks of battles between numerous Second Tier Extraordinary Ones, and the destructive impact of the light cannon and giant sword.

Looking around, there were abnormally raised mounds of earth and cracks of varying sizes everywhere.

Among them, the most conspicuous was the central area where the light cannon and giant sword collided, which had formed a deep pit, with its deepest point exceeding ten meters.

And within this deep pit, a solitary figure was particularly striking.

Even though he was at the epicenter of the impact, his figure remained tall and straight, his armor showed no signs of wear, and even the ground beneath his feet remained as it was before.

It was as if the military formation attack, which had condensed the spirits of nearly a hundred thousand soldiers, was nothing more than a trivial disturbance to this Kingdom Sword Saint.

But Liens could still sense that his aura had significantly weakened compared to before, and his breath had even experienced a brief period of disorder.

"That giant sword that shot down from the sky just now, that must be the ultimate means you mentioned earlier… It's truly powerful. Perhaps that Kingdom Sword Saint was holding back against us before."

Balder's voice rang in Liens's ear, his tone filled with admiration.

"Although the military formation didn't achieve the best-desired outcome, it wasn't the worst either. That Kingdom Sword Saint ultimately couldn't ignore an attack formed by the convergence of tens of thousands of people's spirits."

"Let's continue. We might still have a chance at victory."

"Isabelle!"

Balder called out sternly. Hearing Balder call her name, Isabelle nodded silently, and then the translucent image of Heavenly Light reappeared behind her.

"Holy Light!"

A gentle light emerged from her body and rapidly spread, soothing the hearts of all living beings wherever it reached.

The soldiers, who had become somewhat dispirited after activating the military formation, looking as if they had pulled several all-nighters, quickly regained their vigor.

They gripped their weapons tightly, waiting solemnly for the next command.

Isabelle, however, became mentally drained, her complexion even turning a bit pale. Clearly, a super-large divine spell covering tens of thousands of people was an enormous burden for her.

Robert escorted Isabelle to the rear to ensure her safety. At the same time, the mages within the Rebel Army began casting various enhancement spells on the soldiers.

Several Great Knights of the Rebel Army also returned to their respective legions, manifesting their Spirit Phase and connecting with the spiritual will of the legion's soldiers, strengthening their Spirit Phase through the soldiers' spirits.

Well-trained soldiers could cooperate with a Great Knight, using the Spirit Phase as a core to achieve an effect similar to a battle formation, amplifying the Great Knight's attacks to sweep through thousands of enemies.

This kind of enhancement was very useful on large battlefields, but its attack lacked flexibility. Unless it hit directly, it was difficult to threaten more powerful individuals.

"Thump-thump…"

War drums shook the heavens, and countless soldiers surged like a tide onto the ruined battlefield, advancing towards the opposing army, which was also glowing with magical light.

Facing the Rebel Army's advance, the Kingdom Army stood ready. After the Rebel Army stepped within a certain range, countless arrows and spells shot out from the Kingdom Army's formation.

"Sweep!"

Uria shouted with all his might, sweeping his long spear diagonally upwards. The soldiers behind him also synchronized with him, raising their spears to sweep.

Following this, the translucent white wolf image, which enveloped the entire troop, swung its giant, flame-burning claws, sweeping forward in all directions. Crimson flames filled the sky, and countless flying arrows and spells were annihilated by the surging inferno.

"Charge!"

The giant wolf charged, leading the soldiers beneath it to assault the opposing Kingdom Army, which was not to be outdone. A translucent mountain peak blocked the charging giant wolf.

The two collided, and the steady earth element and the violent fire element reacted fiercely, erupting in a roar.

"Boom!"

While the mountain and the giant wolf were locked in fierce combat, the other battlefields were not idle. Multiple enlarged Spirit Phases engaged in intense battles.

And those soldiers who were not integrated into the Spirit Phases also unleashed powerful combat strength with the enhancement of magic.

Blades flashed, magic exploded, and battle cries shook the earth.

Blood splattered, corpses lay everywhere, and screams were incessant.

Due to the advantage in the number of Extraordinary Ones and overall personnel, the Rebel Army held a clear advantage in the clash between the two armies.

Although the opposing First Tier Extraordinary Ones were more numerous and the soldiers' equipment was superior to that of the Rebel Army, it could not compensate for the huge disparity in numbers.

In terms of numbers alone, the Rebel Army had at least several times more troops than the Kingdom Army. On a battlefield measured in tens of thousands, this difference of several times amounted to a disparity of tens of thousands of troops.

Moreover, with the enhancement of magic and divine spells, the Kingdom Army's equipment advantage became even smaller.

"Heh, interfering in others' battles goes against a noble's honor… What? Even you, Ralph Franklin, are going to abandon the so-called persistence of a noble."

"Let's continue our previous battle, shall we? I still have many spells I want to 'learn' from you, my teacher's favorite student."

Numerous golden holy swords shot down from the sky, blocking Ralph's attempt to go and support others.

Ralph looked directly at Lucrezia, his expression somewhat grim, but under Lucrezia's interference, he ultimately could not enter the main battlefield to help his side with his magic.

For now, he either had to defeat Lucrezia, or he could only pray that their side could hold on until Kingdom Sword Saint Alfred dealt with the opposing Extraordinary One.

Although the Rebel Army's previous attack was very unexpected, their Kingdom Sword Saint was also unimaginably powerful.

Facing such an attack, Kingdom Sword Saint Alfred still stood firm, which further strengthened his confidence in the Kingdom Sword Saint. He believed that the Kingdom Sword Saint would not be defeated.

Just as Ralph believed, even with a slight decline in his aura, Alfred still held the upper hand and maintained a clear advantage when facing the renewed siege from Liens and the others.

Aerial battlefield.

Before the war drums sounded, Liens and the others had already launched a siege against Alfred, who stood isolated on a stone pillar.

And in order not to affect the main battlefield, Liens and the others moved the battle to the sky.

This time, facing the siege from Liens and the others, Alfred did not continue to use clones to disperse his opponents, but instead, with a single person and a single sword, he met the siege with absolute strength.
