724 One-sided Massacre (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Had he realized how formidable this territory was, he wouldn’t have ventured here to stir trouble. Now, the only chance to rescue the fleet and retreat was to deploy the ace up his sleeve: invoking the might of the Holy Light Church and the Goddess of Light. Perhaps it could give the other party pause.

However, to Plas’s immense disappointment, those enemy heroes and armies showed no signs of stopping, and even the legendary creature with wings and a serpent’s tail was flying towards him.

He cursed inwardly and hurriedly dealt with it.

The weather was beautiful, with clear skies for miles around.

But on the sea more than a hundred miles away from the Crown of the Ocean, it was a mess.

This fleet of the Holy Light Sect, which was strong enough to dominate a small and medium-sized force, was currently being ravaged by tens of thousands of units from the Crown of the Ocean. Their prideful strength, which they had always boasted about, was being ruthlessly crushed at this moment.

With every breath of dragon flame, several believers turned into flame. The burning blue flames couldn’t even be extinguished when they jumped into the sea. They could only endure immense physical and spiritual pain before dying.

With every lightning strike, the ship would have a large hole, and the seawater pouring in madly signaled the countdown to these warships sinking.

The Naga Iron Colossus, with wings on its back, repeatedly swept across the deck, leaving behind headless bodies. Some fanatical believers who jumped into the sea in panic thought they could find temporary safety, but they never expected that there would be enemies under the sea.

The enormous Heavy Armor Toothfish leaped out of the sea and swallowed the fanatical believers whole. The knights on their backs impaled the enemies on their spears like skewered kebabs before tossing them away with brute force like trash.

The sky was a hell of slaughter, and the sea was a bloody purgatory.

Under the pincer attack, the will of these fanatical believers, no matter how firm, began to crumble.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre!

In the ocean, these fanatical believers, who were accustomed to land warfare, were completely powerless. They could hardly exert any combat power amidst the violent rocking of the waves, let alone mount a counterattack. Just staying stable on the ship was considered good enough.

In their desperation, many believers even threw down their weapons and gave up resistance, kneeling on the deck to pray.

“Oh God, please bring down your divine punishment and cleanse these infidels!”

“We are so devout, why are you unwilling to help us?”

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.

These believers were really something else. If the Goddess of Light witnessed their behavior, she’d likely be furious enough to blow her top.

However, the outcome of this battle was already decided. The strongmen of the Holy Light Sect had been slaughtered, the believers had lost their will to fight, and these enemies who had come all this way to deliver their heads no longer posed any threat.

Just as Ji Chen was about to order an acceleration of the battle.

An unexpected change occurred in the situation below.

Plas wielded his staff solemnly, conjuring a shield that could withstand ten rounds of cannon fire, but it shattered under the claw strike of the legendary creature with a serpent’s head and tail.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly and dodged in time, he would have been torn in half by those giant claws.

But even so, after more than ten rounds of fighting, his mana consumption was extremely severe, leaving him with less than half. A mage without mana was truly powerless.

He had to end the battle and leave here as soon as possible!

Plas gritted his teeth and took out a golden gemstone, infusing it with mana to activate it.

The gemstone immediately radiated brightly, and a golden phantom figure with a vague face appeared in the air.

A majestic and holy aura suddenly spread out, causing the sky to lose its color and the waves to surge madly.

In front of him, there seemed to be only this noble, divine, and towering phantom figure, making people unable to help but want to kneel and worship, treating it as their faith.

The followers of the Holy Light Sect were stunned, dropping their weapons and kneeling in excitement, their expressions extremely moved.

“Our God!”

“Under the crown of the Goddess of Light! She has finally seen our piety and descended upon this world again!”

The Crown of the Ocean team was suppressed by the aura, falling from the sky, their mouths emitting unwilling roars. Even Herald and the others were full of astonishment, hesitating and not daring to move.

The Goddess of Light?!

This was a deity, and a top-tier orderly divine being at that, with billions of followers and supreme power, covering the entire eastern continent with her radiance!!

But didn’t they say that the orderly divine beings had already been entangled by the dark divine beings? How could she appear here?!

“It’s just a phantom, the enemy wants to escape.”

As numerous believers lost control and many heroes hesitated, Ji Chen’s voice echoed like the toll of a bell.

They were invigorated, and upon closer inspection, although the golden phantom figure looked terrifying, it stood still like a puppet. Plas had already fled thousands of meters away without them noticing.

They couldn’t help but feel an extreme sense of shame. They were actually scared by a phantom!

Herald flapped his wings and carried his anger to chase after him. This shame must be washed away with blood!

Anina, Patheia, and the others also felt their faces burning with anger, directing their fury towards the strongmen of the Holy Light Sect.

Ji Chen rode on an Ocean Blood Dragon, slowly descending to the golden phantom figure. Without changing his expression, he reached out his hand and directly grabbed the golden gemstone behind the phantom, which caused the phantom to disperse into golden light and gather into the gemstone.

However, before the phantom completely dissipated, due to the angle, he didn’t notice that the golden phantom glanced at him without a trace, with a hint of curiosity and doubt.

Ji Chen weighed the golden gemstone in his hand, a small smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

Although this thing had no killing power, it was still good for bluffing people. If he didn’t have the Ring of Void, which had the effect of seeing through illusions and phantasms, he would probably have been deceived by this phantom, really thinking that the Goddess of Light had forcibly descended into the world.

This was enough to show the awesomeness of this gemstone.

When those Holy Light Sect believers saw Ji Chen dispelling the golden phantom, they all showed incredulous expressions, but soon reacted, feeling as if they had lost their bearings.

“Our God hasn’t descended!! God, have you abandoned us?”

Each believer cried out hoarsely, tearing their hearts out, as if their faith had collapsed, with no will to resist anymore, staring blankly and slumping on the deck.

Ji Chen also ordered the cessation of attacks upon seeing this, instructing the Ocean Crown army to disarm and capture them.

Soon, Herald’s figure appeared in the distant sky, still holding a corpse with a gaping hole in its chest, devoid of any vitality.

“Lord, the enemy bishop has been slain.”

Ji Chen looked at the lifeless body of Plas pulled by Herald and said in a heavy tone, “Well done. This is the first legendary enemy you’ve slain. I hope you can slay more powerful enemies in the future and eliminate any threats to the Ocean Crown.”

Herald bowed respectfully. “I will follow your will.”

A legendary figure was powerful enough to serve as the peak force of a kingdom or duchy, but now, with his chest wide open like a lump of rotten meat in Herald’s hands, this scene shocked many of the Holy Light Sect believers below.

Their hearts were filled with sadness and despair.

Their bishop had been slain, most of the sect’s strongmen were wiped out, and fanatics were nearly eradicated. The Holy Light Sect was probably on the brink of extinction.

Ji Chen looked at the desolate appearance of these believers without a hint of emotion.

When they harbored malicious intentions towards the Ocean Crown, wanting to turn it into their paradise of plunder and pillage, they should have been prepared for failure.

In addition to this, he needed to further investigate who instigated the Holy Light Sect to attack the Ocean Crown.

At this moment, Anina arrived on a Sea Crystal Flying Dragon and urgently said, “Lord, we found a strange human on that flagship. He exudes a demonic aura.”

Ji Chen’s gaze subtly changed. “Did he resist?”

Anina shook her head. “After seeing the Holy Light Sect’s bishop being killed, he voluntarily surrendered…”
