NOVEL NEXT Chapter184-Protector of the Battlefield
Upon seeing several figures suddenly appear behind them, the soldiers of the Sacred Empire erupted in deafening cheers, their tired eyes rekindling with hope!
"It's the God of War, Lord! The Gods of War of the Empire have arrived!"
"It's Lord Jian! And Lord Lumi! They've come!"
At the forefront was Jian, the second-ranked God of War of the Empire, master of the Holy Sword!
Her face was as cold as frost as she gazed at the vast, endless army of the void devourers. There was no fear in her eyes, only a chilling killing intent.
The legendary sword in her hand was vibrating violently, eager for battle.
"Those who desecrate the Empire's territory shall pay with blood!"
"Follow me—kill!"
With a sharp command, Jian's figure transformed into a silver lightning bolt as she charged into the most intense part of the battle!
In an instant, swords rose, and stars fell!
Countless terrifying sword lights, sharp and precise, crisscrossed in all directions, tearing through the devourer's lines!
Seeing this scene, the strong figures from Dalton were also deeply moved.
Indeed, the Sacred Empire's foundation was unfathomably deep!
Among them, the most stirred was Aragis.
Watching the God of War of the Empire wielding her divine weapon and rampaging through the enemy ranks, he felt a burning battle spirit ignite in his eyes.
If it weren't for being on the battlefield, he would have eagerly stepped forward to spar with this powerful figure, testing each other's will as saints!
As soon as the second-ranked God of War took the charge, the other Empire Gods of War who arrived afterwards did not hesitate at all.
They immediately unleashed their powers, with strong divine arts and battle techniques exploding on the battlefield like starborn plunged into dark tides!
With the addition of several Supreme Sanctuary rank experts, the balance of the battlefield subtly shifted.
The void devourer's offensive stalled, and even signs of a partial retreat emerged.
But even so, no one on the allied forces' side dared to relax.
Because the elite reinforcements of the devourers, who had just arrived through the spatial rift, still hung like a sword above their heads, yet to truly join the battle!
At the border, Zeth coldly observed the performance of the Empire's Gods of War, a sneer curving his lips.
Except for the strength of those sage rank willpower experts, the others in his eyes were nothing more than slightly stronger insects.
"My warriors, show them true destruction! Crush them!"
Zeth finally issued the order for a full-scale attack!
Instantly, the reinforcements of the devourers, exuding an even more terrifying aura, charged into the battlefield with an intent to annihilate everything!
Boom!
The already fragile spatial structure began to collapse and disintegrate on a large scale!
The scale and intensity of this war had already surpassed the limits of this star domain's capacity!
On the other side of the battlefield, Lumi stood calmly in a relatively safe section of the void, her gaze peaceful as she observed the entire battle.
The Starlight Guiding Staff in her hand emitted a soft radiance.
Ancient and obscure incantations flowed from her lips. Her voice was low, yet it seemed to resonate with the very laws of the battlefield.
Uncertain how much time passed, countless complex magical runes, like starborn, quietly appeared throughout the battlefield.
Then, in the next moment, these runes suddenly lit up, emanating warm, life-infused light!
A group healing spell!
In an instant, all the wounded soldiers of the allied forces felt a warm current flowing through them.
Fatigue was swept away, and wounds began to visibly heal at an incredible speed!
"It's Lord Lumi!"
"It's Lord Lumi's healing magic!!"
The soldiers of the Empire cheered in wild joy!
Though Lumi was not known for direct combat, in terms of controlling the battlefield and supporting the entire army, she was unquestionably the goddess of protection!
The morale of the allied forces was ignited, and their fighting spirit surged!
Many soldiers seemed to gain boundless courage, unleashing combat power far beyond their usual capacity as they rushed fearlessly toward the enemy!
At that moment, Lumi's chanting did not cease.
Her staff again waved, tracing arcane paths.
Huum—
Accompanied by a deep resonating hum,
A massive divine magic array, covering the vast battlefield, was conjured in the void!
Song of Courage and Strength!
All the soldiers of the allied forces within the array suddenly felt an endless stream of power surge from deep within their hearts, receiving a kind of divine blessing!
Even the experts from Dalton couldn't hide their astonishment.
This Sacred Empire actually had such rare and powerful support-type strategic talents!
In one of the battle groups, Reize gazed deeply at Lumi, who was in the rear, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Elarielle struck, killing a devourer that had attacked Reize.
"What's wrong, Reize? Distracted at a time like this?"
Reize nodded.
"I was thinking, our Dalton could use a protector like her."
"I believe that if President were here, he'd be considering the same thing."
Elarielle was deep in thought at his words.
As the elven queen, she was proficient in powerful nature magic and elemental attacks.
But large-scale, army-wide healing and buffing fields were not her forte.
Witnessing Lumi's immense influence on the battlefield, she was deeply intrigued by this type of magic.
This could elevate her ability to protect her people and allies to a whole new level.
"Reize, your thoughts are valid."
Elarielle's eyes gleamed with wisdom.
"Perhaps after the battle, I should speak with that lady… and explore this matter further."
She had already started to consider seeking Lumi's counsel and even learning this powerful support magic.
Meanwhile, in the void, Lumi, who was maintaining the massive divine spell, suddenly frowned.
She had been targeted!
Without a doubt, it was the void devourers.
Her enormous impact on the battlefield meant they wouldn't leave her unchallenged.
Her face grew serious as she looked into the depths of the devourer army, especially focusing on the figure emitting an Authority rank aura—Zeth.
And Zeth, in turn, had sensed her gaze.
"Damn woman! You're seeking death!"
At that moment, a cold reminder echoed in his ear.
"Zeth, prioritize killing that priestess!"
Zeth no longer hesitated. He immediately ordered the six waiting Supreme Sanctuary rank devourers beside him.
"Spare no effort, tear that woman apart!"
Six shadowy figures instantly merged with the void, disappearing without a trace.
At the center of the battlefield, Jian, still locked in fierce combat with strong enemies, keenly sensed the subtle killing intent targeting her.
Her expression changed, and she immediately tried to break free to provide support.
However, several powerful Supreme Sanctuary rank devourers appeared around her in an instant, forming a perfect encirclement.
Their intention was clear—to trap her!
"Get away!"
Killing intent flared in Jian's eyes as her divine sword erupted with piercing, cold light!
Boom!
She clashed once more with the enemy. Though she had the upper hand, it was clear that she couldn't escape in the short term.
At that moment, other elite members of the allied forces also realized the devourers' intentions.
But when they looked around, they were horrified to see that almost all the top-tier combatants were already entangled by the enemy's overwhelming numbers!
"This is bad!"
The alarm bells rang in everyone's minds.
If Lumi were to fall, the allied forces would lose a crucial source of healing and buffing. Their morale would undoubtedly collapse.
The lower-tier troops would likely suffer catastrophic damage.
Even if the higher-level combatants eventually won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory!
