The team began to move forward again, but before long, a few gray Alchemy Colossuses appeared in the fog again. This time, there was no need for Donald to give special orders. The Alchemy Colossuses that were at the front of the Rotterdam Kingdom's team pounced on them without hesitation, and launched an extremely ferocious attack in a bid to kill the enemy in the shortest time possible.
Of course, the Alchemy Colossuses' combat methods were not limited to melee combat. They could also cast powerful magical attacks through the Alchemy Arrays set up on their bodies. However, the thick fog around them not only obstructed their vision, but also greatly affected their other senses. In fact, even their mental strength could not extend too far.
The fog greatly reduced the team's warning range, and when the enemy appeared from the fog, they were already about 100 meters away. That distance was extremely short for ordinary warriors and mages, let alone the massive Alchemy Colossuses. Usually, they would only have time to cast one magical attack before the enemy would be right in front of them.
The two types of Alchemy Colossuses collided with each other forcefully again, and the roars were endless. The Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom soon gained the upper hand again, and suppressed the ferocity of the gray Alchemy Colossuses. However, at this moment, one of the Alchemy Colossuses from the Rotterdam Kingdom suddenly paused for a moment. Not only did it disrupt their battle tactics, it even turned around to attack its companions beside it.
"Be careful, it's mental strength magic. There are enemies in the thick fog!" Archbishop Martin said while raising the staff in his hand, after which a pillar of holy light descended from the sky and landed on the Alchemy Colossus of the Rotterdam Kingdom.
It was a ray of Light of Redemption that could dispel all kinds of negative mental influences such as fear, confusion, and charm on the target. As the pillar of light landed, the Alchemy Colossus that was attacking its companions immediately stopped moving.
Immediately after Archbishop Martin's action, the surrounding Holy Light Priests also raised their staffs at the same time, and chanted a short prayer piously. They then scattered the Light of Redemption on the other Alchemy Colossuses that were fighting.
Not only could the Light of Redemption dispel negative mental influences, but it could also strengthen one's willpower and strengthen one's faith. After the pillar of light of the Light of Redemption disappeared, the massive body of the Alchemy Colossus was faintly shrouded in a layer of holy light, and the manipulators of the Alchemy Colossus had a certain immunity to those negative mental spells for a period of time.
At the same time, a group of corporeal Vengeful Spirits rushed out of the thick fog behind the gray Alchemy Colossuses. Although Vengeful Spirits were the lowest-level Undead creatures that were even inferior to Skeletal Warriors, they would definitely have Legendary-level strength once they condensed a physical body. Those corporeal Vengeful Spirits had extremely high immunity to magical and physical attacks. At the same time, they were also good at martial arts and Necromagic. The change in the Alchemy Colossus of the Rotterdam Kingdom just now was undoubtedly their masterpiece.
If players of other professions encountered these corporeal Vengeful Spirits, they would definitely have a headache. Back when Lin Li first explored the Sky Castle, Master Cheyenne of the Malfa Family, who was a level-22 Legendary-mage, was defeated by two corporeal Vengeful Spirits. However, at that time, there were still very few corporeal Vengeful Spirits, and most of them were just ordinary Vengeful Spirits. Otherwise, Cheyenne probably wouldn't even have been able to reach the Central Tower.
Now, with the awakening of the Ghost, most of the Vengeful Spirits had condensed a physical body and become powerful corporeal Vengeful Spirits. Fortunately, there was also the Brilliance Shrine, who was good at dealing with Undead creatures, in the expedition this time. Otherwise, Lin Li would have to take action personally.
According to the previous cooperation agreement, it would be the job of the Brilliance Shrine if there were Undead creatures among the enemies. While Archbishop Martin led the team of priests to bless the Alchemy Colossuses with the Light of Redemption, Prince Jeremiah also waved his sword, and a team of Holy Light Knights bypassed the Alchemy Colossuses that were engaged in battle, and headed towards the corporeal Vengeful Spirits that had just emerged from the fog.
There were 40 Holy Light Knights in the battle, and they were divided into four teams. The captain of each team was at the Legendary-level, while the other Holy Light Knights were level-18 or level-19. The four teams of Holy Light Knights were facing nearly 20 Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits. In terms of level alone, the Holy Light Knights could be said to be at an absolute disadvantage.
However, that was not the case.
Although the Holy Light Paladins did not even last a single round in the battle with the Tower of Dusk previously, the Holy Light Paladins did not even last a single round. One reason was that the Tower of Dusk's team was too strong, and the other reason was that the Holy Light Knights had indeed underestimated their enemies.
However, it was different for the Holy Light Knights to deal with the Vengeful Spirits. Holy Light Magic itself had a great restraining effect on Undead creatures. Although they did not specialize in Holy Light Magic like the priests, their attainments in Holy Light Magic were not low.
Besides, the Holy Light Paladins were equipped with armor that had been enhanced by Divine Power, which also had a high defense against Necromagic. The Holy Light Cross Spear that they were using was custom-made from the Tower of Dusk, which could greatly exert the purification power of Holy Light.
Hence, even though they were facing Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits, the Holy Light Knights immediately gained the upper hand as soon as the battle began.
The 40 Holy Light Knights were divided into four teams of 10 people each, and each team was led by a Legendary-level captain. They charged into the group of corporeal Vengeful Spirits. They did not stay in one place, and instead urged the Longma Beasts that they were riding on to continuously weave through the corporeal Vengeful Spirits. Soon, they separated the Vengeful Spirits. Although there were only 10 Radiant Knights in each squad, they seemed to form chains of light as they moved back and forth rapidly, trapping the corporeal Vengeful Spirits where they were.
Every Holy Light Knight was shrouded in a layer of Holy Light, and as they charged back and forth, they scattered the light to every corner of the battlefield, forming a Holy Light Domain with powerful purification power. In the sky above the Holy Light Domain, there was an incomparably sacred music that could cleanse one's soul. That was the origin of the name of the Holy Light Knights' battle formation, the Holy Light Battle Song.
Under the shroud of the Holy Light Battle Song, the corporeal Vengeful Spirits even lost the ability to cast Necromagic. At the same time, their power was continuously being purified by the Power of Light. The Vengeful Spirits roared and frantically attacked every Holy Light Knight that passed by them, but they still could not change their fate of death.
The bodies of the Vengeful Spirits seemed to have been burned by fire as wisps of black smoke continuously rose from them and dissipated in the Holy Light. Every wisp of black smoke that dissipated meant that the power of the Vengeful Spirits was reduced. That was the powerful purification power of the Holy Light Battle Song. In fact, even if the Holy Light Knights did not attack, the Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits would not be able to persist for too long under the purification of the Holy Light Battle Song.
Although they had become partners with the Brilliance Shrine first, the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom did not know much about the strength of the Brilliance Shrine. Perhaps, they did not bother to understand it at all. In their opinion, the Brilliance Shrine was essentially just a religion, and the reason why they could be called the top force in Anril was probably because they had more believers. Having more believers did not mean that they were strong. Even farmers could become believers of Holy Light. So what if they had more believers?
In fact, not to mention the Brilliance Shrine, the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom did not even take the Supreme Council, which was said to be at the peak of Anril. In their opinion, be it magic or theurgy, they would eventually be eliminated, and only alchemy would be the future of the world.
The only time the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom understood the strength of the Brilliance Shrine was the small conflict between the Brilliance Shrine and the Tower of Dusk yesterday. The complete defeat of the Holy Light Knights made them even more certain of their judgment. The reason why they had scruples was mainly because of the Legendary powerhouses of the Brilliance Shrine, especially Archbishop Martin who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Besides, it was also because it involved the relationship between nations.
However, now that Donald saw the group of Holy Light Knights using the Holy Light Battle Song to suppress nearly 20 Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits, he had no choice but to change his opinion a little even though he knew that there were reasons for the restraint.
Indeed, the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom were not Undead creatures, and the purification power of Holy Light Magic did not have that much restraint on them. However, the Holy Light Knights created a powerful Light Domain through the battle formation of the Holy Light Battle Song. Just like the Magical Domain of mages, the Light Domain already involved the use of nomological power, and it was not as simple as restraining and purifying Undead creatures.
As a mage who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, how could Donald not know how useful the Magical Domain was? When mages created Magical Domains, they used their understanding of the nomological power to create a space that was completely under their control. It would greatly enhance their own power, and at the same time, suppress the power of the enemies in the domain.
Generally speaking, among the many professions in Anril, only mages who had reached the Legendary-realm could create their own Magical Domains. The clergymen of the Brilliance Shrine could actually be considered a type of mage, except that mages used the Elemental Laws, while the clergymen of the Brilliance Shrine used the Holy Light Laws. Professions such as Knights, Sword Sages, and Assassins pursued the limits of their own power. Even if they reached the Legendary-realm, they would not be able to create a Magical Domain.
However, the Knights of the Brilliance Shrine could actually create a Light Domain through the battle formation. While they had powerful combat power, they could also obtain many benefits from the Light Domain. That was something that everyone could not help but be jealous of.
