At the same time, the Gilded Kingdom's team did not seem to panic even though several Legendary powerhouses had been killed instantly. High Priest Poer, in particular, had a face full of smiles. He knelt on the ground, and said piously, "Great Messenger of Light, please forgive us for our rudeness. We are the most devout believers of God, and we came here in order to awaken the supreme God from his slumber."
However, High Priest Poer's words did not move the four Envoys of Light. The tone of the four Envoys of Light was full of majesty as they said in unison, "The last believer of God in the world died thousands of years ago. Unless he can be reborn, no one can awaken God. Your lies can't deceive us, and that will only make you more despicable. "
High Priest Poer did not understand what the four Envoys of Light were talking about, but he felt that the tone of the four Envoys of Light did not seem to be very friendly. Hence, he was about to continue speaking. However, at this moment, he heard Elder Zumar's shout from behind, and looked up in a daze, only to discover that a sharp sword of light had already appeared in front of him.
Fortunately, High Priest Poer was a true Sanctuary powerhouse, after all. If he had been a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse that had been forcefully promoted, the sword would have probably killed him. At the moment of being attacked, the defensive magic on his body immediately reacted, and an elemental shield immediately met the light sword.
However, High Priest Poer's strength was the weakest among the four Sanctuary powerhouses, and he was only close to the mid-Sanctuary realm. On the other hand, the Envoys of Light were already close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and the power of the sword could be said to be earth-shattering as it directly slashed the elemental shield into pieces.
High Priest Poer finally reacted at this moment, and the moment the Elemental Shield shattered, he immediately retreated, and at the same time, cast a series of defensive magic spells continuously. All of a sudden, the sound of the magical defense fragments filled the space.
Finally, just when High Priest Poer was almost unable to continue retreating, Saint Edmund suddenly pointed his scepter forward, and a dim light curtain immediately blocked in front of High Priest Poer. Only then did he manage to block the sword of the Envoys of Light. However, during the collision, High Priest Poer was affected by the aftermath of the collision, and was shaken to the point of vomiting blood. He looked extremely disheveled.
"What are you waiting for!?" Saint Edmund yelled angrily, waved the scepter in his hand, and took the lead to attack the Envoys of Light.
In the hearts of the people of the Gilded Kingdom, the Envoys of Light were the messengers of the gods, but now they were asked to attack the messengers of the gods. That really left them at a loss. However, at this moment, Elder Zumar also launched an attack on the Envoys of Light after Edmund, giving everyone a head start.
This time, everyone didn't care about the Oracle anymore. They immediately formed a battle formation and chanted incantations to cast magic.
They were four Sanctuary powerhouses who were close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. They were basically existences that stood at the top of the Sanctuary-realm. Perhaps only a peak powerhouse who had comprehended a trace of godly power could truly suppress them in terms of strength. Although the Gilded Kingdom's team had broken the shackles brought about by faith, there was obviously a considerable gap between them and the four powerful Envoys of Light.
Although there were three Sanctuary powerhouses in the Gilded Kingdom's team, only Saint Edmund could fight against the Envoys of Light head-on. As for Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer, they were a little inferior. In particular, High Priest Poer was barely a mid-level Sanctuary powerhouse, and he had suffered some injuries previously. Hence, he seemed to be a little powerless in the fight against the Envoys of Light.
Hence, as soon as the two sides started fighting, the Gilded Kingdom's team immediately fell into a disadvantageous position. Edmund was no longer as calm as he had been when he faced the Ice Phoenix previously, and he could only fight two Envoys of Light single-handedly. However, it was more troublesome for the others. Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer could only fight evenly with one Envoys of Light. The remaining Envoys of Light turned to look at the Legendary powerhouses of the Gilded Kingdom.
Although the Legendary powerhouses of the Gilded Kingdom had also obtained a considerable increase in combat power through special battle formations, the gap between them and the Sanctuary powerhouses that were close to the peak was still huge. It could be imagined that once the Envoys of Light charged over, it would definitely be a one-sided massacre, and the Legendary powerhouses would not be able to resist at all.
Seeing this situation, Elder Zumar was really anxious, and he hurriedly yelled at the Tower of Dusk's team, "President Felic, what are you guys waiting for if you don't attack now!? Are you going to watch them defeat us one by one!? "
Initially, the people of the Gilded Kingdom planned to use the Tower of Dusk's team as cannon fodder, but they didn't expect to become the primary target of the Envoys of Light. Faced with four Envoys of Light that were close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, Elder Zumar had no choice but to ask for help from the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li wanted to make the people of the Gilded Kingdom suffer a little, but he also knew that he couldn't let them suffer too much. After all, he still had to rely on them to find clues about the Immortal King. Hence, just as the remaining Envoys of Light were about to attack the Gilded Kingdom's team, Lin Li's figure suddenly flashed, and he charged towards the Envoys of Light.
After this exchange, Lin Li also understood why the three Sanctuary powerhouses, Edmund, Zumar, and Poer, would be suppressed so badly by the Envoys of Light. The space where the Envoys of Light were condensed was simply the Domain World of the Envoys of Light. Although the level of the Envoys of Light was only close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, their combat power was definitely at the top of the Sanctuary-realm.
Lin Li cast an Extreme Flame Purgatory, and countless pillars of fire shot out from the ground, chasing after the Envoys of Light that were rushing over. In particular, under the stimulation of his massive mental strength, the pillars of fire seemed to be able to engulf even the wyrm at once. Besides, the pillars of fire were extremely dense, and almost connected into one.
The bodies of the Envoys of Light were extremely large, and it was impossible for them to move around in such a small space. Hence, they were soon engulfed by the terrifying pillars of fire. However, at this moment, when the pillars of fire passed through the body of the Envoys of Light, something strange happened. The Envoys of Light, which could already be considered alive, suddenly became distorted, and scattered into light as if half of their bodies had been broken apart. The pillars of fire dissipated, and they immediately returned to their original state.
Damn it, they really are worthy of being called Envoys of Light! Lin Li secretly cursed in his heart. How am I supposed to fight them? Even the sharpest sword can't cut the light, and even the most powerful magic can't freeze or burn the light.
Of course, if the Envoys of Light could always be like that, they would really be invincible. In fact, the Angel of Light's body turning into light was somewhat similar to the Void of the Stars technique, where one's body was placed in the void. However, the light transformation of the Envoys of Light was almost an instinct of the body, and the speed of the transformation was not something that the Void of the Stars could compare to.
As soon as Lin Li saw the changes of the Envoys of Light, he secretly cursed in his heart, but he also knew that he basically wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand in a long-range battle with the Envoys of Light. Hence, in the face of the Envoys of Light that were rushing towards him, he did not retreat or dodge. Instead, he waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and directly went forward to fight the Envoys of Light in close combat.
For ordinary mages, engaging in close combat with the enemy was no different from courting death. After all, mages still needed a certain amount of time to recite the incantation when casting magic. Even instantaneous magic would need a certain distance before it could erupt with power. For professions that really engaged in close combat, such as Warriors or Assassins, it wouldn't be so troublesome. All they had to do was to pierce the enemy's body with their sharp swords and daggers.
However, when Lin Li had just become a mage, he was not a mage who met traditional standards. When fighting with his opponents, he would never care about using magic or other means as long as he could defeat them. If he could knock his opponents unconscious with his staff, he wouldn't care about his demeanor, and would simply use his staff like a mace like a barbarian.
To some of the more dogmatic mages, such a combat method could be considered blasphemous, and even be considered to be tarnishing the profession of mages. However, in fact, there weren't so many rules for mages in the Dark Age. As long as they could defeat their opponents, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would resort to all means.
For the High Elves, there was no such thing as a mage or a Sword Sage at all. Magic and martial arts were basically inseparable, and they were both just a form of use of power and Laws. Of course, that was also related to the extremely long lifespan of the High Elves. After all, the lifespan of humans was very short, and they might not be able to achieve anything even if they spent their entire lives studying a single field, let alone knowledge that involved multiple fields.
From the many legacies left behind by Geresco, Lin Li learned more than just a few esoteric magic incantations. He also learned more about the essence of power and how to use his power flexibly in combat. In particular, he was now a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, and could be said to be well-versed in everything. If he really picked up a sword, he might not be inferior to any Sword Sage.
Hence, during the close combat with the Envoys of Light, Lin Li did not seem flustered at all even though he was a mage. He was holding the Helios' Scepter in one hand, and the debris of the stars, Nothingness, in the other. From time to time, he would burst out a series of powerful magic spells, and from time to time, he would brandish the Nothingness Spear like a snake out of its hole. He seemed to be dealing with the Envoys of Light with ease.
However, the ability of the Envoys of Light to transform into light was really a headache. It would not be easy for Lin Li to take down this opponent, and he could only maintain a stalemate where no one could do anything to the other.
With Lin Li's attack, the crisis that the Gilded Kingdom's team had just faced seemed to have been resolved. However, before the people of the Gilded Kingdom could heave a sigh of relief, there was a sudden change on the battlefield. One of the two Envoys of Light who was fighting with Saint Edmund suddenly retreated from the battlefield, after which his body turned into countless light spots. Even in this world that was filled with light, it still made people feel like they were looking at the galaxy in the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, the countless light spots began to converge again, but they did not gather in one place like before. Instead, there were hundreds of points of convergence. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Envoys of Light that were the size of humans appeared on the periphery of the battlefield, and immediately split into two groups, one of which pounced towards the Gilded Kingdom's team, while the other charged towards the Tower of Dusk's team.
Edmund had previously fought against two Envoys of Light alone, and in fact, he was just barely holding on. It did not mean that he really had the strength to contend with two Envoys of Light. Hence, he could not stop one of the Envoys of Light from retreating at all, and could only watch helplessly as the Envoys of Light transformed into hundreds of Legendary-level Envoys of Light.
Each of the Envoys of Light, who had a humanoid figure, had strength at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Besides, because they were split from a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, each of their bodies contained a trace of Sanctuary-realm power. Although such Envoys of Light only had peak Legendary-level power, their combat power was probably not inferior to that of the so-called pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses.
Although the Gilded Kingdom's team had brought Legendary-level powerhouses this time, they could indeed be considered absolute elites outside. In the entire Anril, there were definitely only a handful of forces that could produce such a force. However, such a force was obviously not enough when compared to the group of Legendary Envoys of Light.
There were about 40 Legendary Envoys of Light who rushed towards the Gilded Kingdom's team, all holding sharp swords made of light. As the sharp swords of the Envoys of Light were swung forward, a thick pillar of light descended from the sky, blasting into the battle formation of the Gilded Kingdom's team just like the light from the Magical Crystal Cannons. It immediately caused the Gilded Kingdom's team to panic.
However, since the Legendary powerhouses of the Gilded Kingdom could be brought there by Edmund and the others, they naturally had some strength. Under the command of several commanders, the crowd quickly recovered from the panic, and barely managed to stabilize their footing under the terrifying attack of the Legendary Envoys of Light. However, the difference in strength was obvious, and anyone could tell that they would not be able to persist for too long.
Seeing this scene, Elder Mazu and the others were really anxious, but since Lin Li had blocked one of the Envoys of Light just now, there was no second Lin Li to block those Legendary Envoys of Light for them now. Besides, the Tower of Dusk's team had also been attacked by the Legendary Envoys of Light, and there were more than 60 of them. Clearly, they couldn't take care of themselves.
Perhaps they had sensed that there were two top powerhouses in the Tower of Dusk's team, Connoris and Ujfalusi, so the Legendary Envoys of Light had obviously invested more power there.
