The battle on the battlefield was coming to an end, but my experiment had only just begun.
Holy Light formed a ball of light in my hand. I raised my hand and let the ball float in midair.
"Light of Salvation."
The ball of light above my head illuminated everything with pure and gentle Holy Light. The aura of the Chaos Abyss was expelled, while the inferno kobolds that had long since been corroded by the aura of the Chaos Abyss were screaming in pain as they rolled around on the ground.
Pure Holy Light was also the Light of Order. Perhaps it was healing for ordinary creatures, but it was poison for demons, undead, and purgatory creatures.
"A Holy Knight!"
When I summoned Holy Light, my "companion" was the most astonished of all. Hakas never expected that this bastard who had been doing so well in the Chaos Abyss was actually a Holy Knight who was famed for his piety and inflexibility.
Hakas had killed countless demons without batting an eye, extorted them, and even extorted them. Yet, he was actually a Holy Knight who could summon Holy Light? How was he not corrupted after all this?
"Is the God of Holy Light blind …?"
It would seem that Hakas, who had been hiding in the Chaos Abyss, only knew about the past. Neither he nor the Onibabas knew that there was another type of Holy Light in the current Southern Sect.
"But there's still no need to use Holy Light to roast these inferno kobolds to death. This Holy Knight is even more vicious than a black dragon …"
But what happened next shocked him even more. What he saw completely changed his understanding of the world.
The inferno kobolds that were rolling around on the ground didn't turn to ash in pain. After a while, they actually crawled back up, and the Holy Light actually healed the burned parts of their bodies!
When Hakas took a closer look, he discovered that something was wrong. The inferno kobolds' characteristics had completely disappeared. It was as if their horns and dirty scales had been washed away, leaving behind only the scales and skin of an ordinary kobold.
"Them? They've been returned to being ordinary kobolds! How is this possible? "
This was a completely incomprehensible reality for a black dragon.
I'd only heard of humans and species becoming demonized, but I'd never heard of demonized creatures or species returning to normal. Holy Knight and priests often said that they would "purify the souls of evil creatures," but that wasn't what they meant. That was to directly burn the enemy's body with Holy Light, which would naturally grant the enemy's soul freedom.
For Hakas, this was the same as a draconic human losing its bloodline and naturally transforming into a dragon. This was something he couldn't understand at all.
At this moment, I was very satisfied with the results of my experiment.
"… I'm truly lucky to have met such a good experimental subject. He's not strong, and his Abyssal transformation isn't too deep. Otherwise, the Concept of 'Light of Salvation' wouldn't have such a good effect."
The Light of Salvation was Holy Light, but it was not Holy Light at the same time. If one wanted to trace the origin, one had to mention the Battle of the Hades.
Death, Holy Light, Law, and Ice were the four major elements of the Hades. As the Hades gradually matured, the four major elements mutated and created four new types of power.
From a certain standpoint, it was just like how the mortal plane, which was composed of the four major elements, had given birth to countless secondary types of power. Ice was an extension of water, wind created thunderstorms, and the earth element created swamps, lava, and so on.
This seemed inconceivable, but it was easy to understand if one looked at it from a different perspective.
The original elemental powers of the mortal plane formed the mortal plane. However, the more the mortal plane matured, the more it changed the elemental foundation to become more suitable for itself. Gradually, similar yet completely different elemental powers appeared in the mortal plane.
Another explanation was that the elemental powers had been affected by the mortal plane's colors and characteristics.
There were already precedents of such a mutation. The power of Hades, which evolved from the power of death, had already established a bridge between death magic and Law incantations. All sorts of powerful Law incantations and curses were now being developed.
How could the Holy Light of the Hades, the land of the dead, not change?
"This is the Light of Salvation …"
The new Light of Salvation was much gentler than the old Light of Salvation. If the old Light of Salvation was about "cleansing," forcefully wiping out anything that didn't conform to the natural laws, then the new Light of Salvation represented "correction" and "reversal." It would gradually erode the unnatural parts of the target and then modify them.
Since the Southern Sect's Holy Light users used the God of Dawn, one of the Four Pillar Gods of the Hades, as their divine power server, their Holy Light was gradually changing. In actual combat, this new Holy Light had weaker attack power and was far less effective against the undead and demons than the old Holy Light. However, it had many wondrous uses.
During an accident, a half-undead that was already infected by the Undead Calamity and was about to turn into a zombie was about to be "cleansed". However, the Holy Light was reborn, and the half-undead parts returned to their physical bodies.
It would have been understandable if she was a powerful individual, but she was just an ordinary farmer's mother. From then on, this new pure Holy Light attracted the attention of countless Holy Light job class members.
Perhaps it was because of this miraculous redemption that the Light of Salvation came to be called the Light of Salvation.
"A golden tower of light guides the undead through the Infernos. They can redeem their sins in the various Infernos. No matter where they are, the undead can look up at the tower of light above their heads and desire the opportunity to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation again."
Perhaps this was because the new God of the Hades, the God of Dawn, had reinterpreted Holy Light. Or perhaps it was because this power originally represented the path of redemption in the Hades. It was also because of this special characteristic that the Light of Salvation had such wondrous properties …
"The Light of Salvation's attack power against the undead and demons is only half of the original Holy Light. The effects are slow as well. If it was the same level of Holy Light, these inferno dogmen would have self-ignited long ago instead of rolling around in pain. However, this Light of Salvation's ability to gradually erode and weaken the undead might be even more suitable against powerful individuals."
Through my experiments, I had already determined that this Light of Salvation's power was inferior to the original Holy Light's. However, after being "diluted," it was actually able to spread even further. Its penetrative and corrosive properties were highly suitable for long-term combat. Perhaps it wouldn't be able to instantly ignite an undead or demon, but it would be able to gradually weaken them in combat, permanently erasing their demonization!
"If I'm fighting against a Demon Lord, this Light of Salvation will be far more useful than the original Holy Light. I don't lack powerful weapons for attacking enemies. For me, the Light of Salvation is far more useful than Holy Light. "
The Light of Salvation also had a powerful special effect against the undead, which was even more tempting.
Undead usually had extreme personalities. Their stubbornness and hatred were what drove them. The corrosion of negative energy would also make them more and more eccentric and insane. Painful memories of the past would only cause them to sink into endless pain and hatred. They would be filled with jealousy towards the living and desire for flesh and blood.
What drove the undead's skeletons and corpses was negative energy. If they were touched by the Light of Salvation and weren't destroyed on the spot, they would likely explode with uncontrollable rage.
However, if they were touched by the Light of Salvation's Hades, the Light of Salvation that guided the Emissaries, not only would they be weakened, the Light of Salvation would also gradually erase the negative energy's negative influence on their personality, allowing them to regain their rationality when they were still alive! It was as if they were natural undead.
Many of Bardi's main undead battlefields had Light of Salvation lighthouses like this. The undead's undead army that was illuminated by the Light of Salvation from such a long distance would actually experience fatigue, fatigue, and other negative effects that were almost impossible for the undead to experience. This would also greatly reduce the undead's offensive prowess.
"In summary, light therapy can cure mental illnesses?"
"Although this description sounds rather awkward, it's indeed correct."
"I finally understand why you chose this Concept. Your illness can be cured! You can't stop taking the medicine! You want electrotherapy and light therapy! "
"… I feel like I need to give my cat a forty-eight-hour Holy Light bath."
Now that I confirmed the Light of Salvation's effects, perhaps I would finally be able to create my first magic sword.
