A third of the mountain valley was covered by the Canopy of Necromancy. Dark green clouds obscured all light as a thick aura of death wafted in all directions, giving the mercenaries within a strong sense of discomfort.
In the center of the Canopy of Necromancy, Han Shuo, who'd experienced slaughter and found it hard to control his desires, couldn't stop his mind from sinking into a frenzy of slaughter due to the increasingly thick aura of violence in his body. However, his will, which had been tempered for a long time, was able to rein in at the most critical moment, forcefully stopping him from falling any further.
Sitting down cross legged, Han Shuo ignored the chaos around him and focused, slowly pacifying his deepest desires. Three zombie warriors, two hate warriors, and seven or eight skeletal warriors stood around Han Shuo. Little Skull wielded a bone dagger as his purple demon eye glowed with purple light. He was like a general leading an army of thousands as he stood in front of Han Shuo with his head held high and chest puffed out, silently protecting Han Shuo.
Under the combined efforts of Edwin and Belinda, the grandest building in the mountain valley finally collapsed with a boom. The earth-shattering sound shook the entire mountain valley. In that moment, the mercenaries of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band stationed far away, meditating or tirelessly training their swordplay, all realized that their base was under attack and swarmed towards the mountain valley.
In the far distance, a group of knights clad in shining silver armor was charging towards them from atop their silver-armored warhorses. They were holding three-meter-long javelins in their hands.
A slender blue figure nimbly stepped onto the treetops on the snow-covered treetops, belatedly flying over. She wore a loose blue dress with a few fluttering ribbons that covered her face as she moved quickly. Only two long pointed ears were visible, revealing her identity as an elf.
In another direction, Andy and the thunder archmage used the levitation spell under the moonlight to come to the rescue as fast as lightning, unable to disguise the panic on their faces.
"Who dares cause trouble for the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band!" An angry roar shook the skies as the person at the front of the silver armored knights roared out. Although his head was covered by a silver helmet, his roar still spread throughout the entire mountain valley.
"The Knights of Light are here, it looks like we should retreat!" Belinda looked into the distance and spoke to Edwin beside her.
Edwin nodded and was about to reply when he suddenly pointed at the sky in surprise, "Eh, who is that?"
Belinda couldn't help but look up in the direction of Edwin's finger. Although the Canopy of Necromancy was concealing them, the two of them still managed to make out an enormous black figure through the surging flames.
"It's that person's magical pet, a young black dragon. I didn't think that they'd come here as well!" Belinda seemed to recall the humiliation she'd suffered earlier, and her voice was slightly gloomy as she replied.
"Hehe, that's great. We don't have to leave immediately!" If it hadn't been for Gilbert's group, then all of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band's attacks would've been aimed at them. Now that they had Gilbert to divert attention, the two of them naturally didn't have to bear all the pressure.
In the air above the mountain valley, Gilbert made use of his swift flight speed to carry Emily and Phoebe on his back as he spat out scorching flames at the buildings below, drowning them in a sea of fire.
Green venom sprayed out from some crowded areas, and the mercenaries all howled as they dodged in all directions. If they didn't make it in time and came into contact with even the slightest bit of the venom, they would die in an instant.
"Lowly life forms, you shouldn't have angered us. This is my, Gilbert's, punishment for your despicable actions!" Gilbert's deep voice reverberated through the air above the mountain valley. He was so excited that he was dancing with joy, proud of his astonishing destructive power.
"Holy power of light, hear my call and dispel all darkness — Radiance of Light!" An ancient and distant chant suddenly rang out in the chaotic mountain valley. All sorts of shouts and attacks were unable to drown out this chant.
A strong beam of light tore through the heavens as the divine, holy element of light filled the air above the mountain valley. The dark green clouds created by the Canopy of Necromancy all disintegrated in an instant, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Dazzling light sprinkled all over the mountain valley, reflecting the gentle light of the stars. The holy power of light sprinkled down and quickly dispersed the presence of death. All the mercenaries in the mountain valley were no longer affected by it.
Of the dark creatures summoned by Han Shuo, apart from the Little Skull who remained calm and unafraid, the other dark creatures of various ranks had their bodies rapidly corroded in an extremely short period of time. Each and every one of them revealed an expression of extreme agony as they frantically looked for cover to hide.
The dark creatures that had originally been ordered by the Little Skull to protect Han Shuo were also in great pain, but they seemed to be very afraid of the Little Skull. Although their bodies were rapidly corroding, they didn't dare to leave immediately. Instead, they looked at the Little Skull with wide eyes, waiting for the Little Skull's forgiveness.
Finally, the Little Skull waved his hand, and the dark creatures scattered with a crash. Each and every one of them hid under a house or found a random hole to burrow into, trying to avoid the Radiance of Radiance.
As for the injured mercenaries, their injuries miraculously came under control after being illuminated by the Radiance of Radiance. Their spirits visibly improved, as if they'd been quickly healed.
When the element of light filled the mountain valley, the situation was reversed in an instant. A white-haired but spirited old man dressed as a clergyman of the Church of Light surveyed Tanai's surroundings with a bemoaning gaze.
"He's here alright. I guessed that he'd come back after Florida was so heavily injured. Let's go, Florida must've been moved away by him. Otherwise, the building he lives in wouldn't have so little defense! " Edwin stood in the shadows of a house and looked viciously at light archmage Ferguson in the air as he yelled at Belinda.
"Mm, it'll be hard to leave if we're any later!" Belinda understood just how strong Ferguson was and didn't hesitate at all. The golem had already turned into a streak of white light as soon as she'd finished speaking, disappearing into her scroll.
On the other side, dark dragon Gilbert, who had just been shouting loudly, didn't utter a single word when he saw that the old man had turned the situation around with a powerful spell of light the moment he appeared. He quickly flew up into the sky without saying a word.
Ferguson frowned at Gilbert's departure and chanted the simplest spell, Radiant Sword Slash. The enormous amount of light surrounding the mountain valley suddenly coalesced into three swords of light, shooting towards Gilbert with great speed.
He turned around and spat out a stream of flames, stopping the two swords of light in their tracks. Emily hastily cast a Hand of Death to block the other sword of light, and the dragon and two women leapt out of the mountain valley, disappearing into the distance.
After Ferguson released the Lightsaber Slash, a fierce light magic shockwave took shape. This magic shockwave took the form of a ring-shaped wave. Wherever it passed, the air would crackle and the ground would crack, leaving deep scratches on it. A building that occupied an area of 50 square meters was instantly crushed into rubble under the bombardment of this shockwave. Stone fragments flew everywhere.
"Old friend Edwin, I could smell that disgusting scent on you from far away. Come out!" Ferguson called out softly in the direction of the attack after casting the blast of light magic.
It looked like Gilbert wasn't Ferguson's main target, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to leave so easily. Edwin, who was of the same level and was quite familiar with each other, should be Ferguson's main target.
"Heh heh, I'm so happy to see you, but this place isn't suitable for me. Goodbye!" Edwin's sinister laughter rang out from within the ruins. A black figure gradually faded away after his voice faded, disappearing from the ruins.
"I'll find you!" Ferguson's face was calm and he didn't look happy or sad. His voice was also indifferent, devoid of anger or anger.
"There's another one down there! There's someone who's not afraid of death!" Thunder archmage Asa looked down in surprise and exclaimed.
In the middle of a mountain valley filled with rubble, a figure glowing with a bloody light sat there indifferently. He was as steady as a boulder, as if he didn't care about everything that was happening around him. A short Little Skull with a purple left eye, wielding a bone dagger, seven spikes on his back, and wielding a bone dagger stood unwaveringly by his side, as if protecting him from danger.
"It's him, this is the person who almost killed Florida in front of the Valley of Sunshine's fence!" Fire archmage Andy immediately cried out when he looked down.
Everyone was shocked when they heard these words! All of them looked at Han Shuo in confusion. They couldn't understand why Han Shuo hadn't left at this time.
Could it be that he thought he could take on all the experts of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band by himself? Could it be that he didn't know that there was a light grand magus in the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band?
"Surround him, I want him alive!" There was finally a trace of anger in Ferguson's voice. No one knew if he was angry at Han Shuo for heavily injuring Florida, or at Han Shuo for looking down on all of them.
"Understood!" The knights of light immediately surged forward from all directions upon hearing Ferguson's order, surrounding Han Shuo in three layers.
In the sky were the two archmages Andy and Asa, as well as the light grand magus Ferguson and the female archer Maxine. Only a sacred magus, a sacred knight, or a sacred swordmaster would be able to leave so easily when surrounded by such a force.
Han Shuo obviously wasn't one of these peak existences!
As everyone stared at Han Shuo, light grand magus Ferguson's eyes suddenly lit up with an astonishing light. His previously calm face was suddenly filled with a strange expression. His white brow was furrowed tightly, the wrinkles on his forehead twitching as his lips smacked together. His expression was filled with incredulity and shock, as well as a few traces of deep worry and fear.
"Grandpa Ferguson, what's wrong?" The female elven archer Maxine looked oddly at Ferguson from not too far away.
Her exquisite and impeccable face was like the most perfect work of art. Maxine's appearance possessed all the advantages that an elven beauty should have. She had a slender and alluring figure, an extraordinary temperament, silky hair that was like a waterfall of oil green, and a breathtakingly beautiful face. All of these perfectly blended together to form a beauty that could topple cities of the Elven Race.
On the other side, Edwin and Belinda stood side by side on a cliff above the valley where Han Shuo and the dark dragon had been standing.
The expression on the Calamity Church's dark grand magus Edwin's face was astonishingly similar to Ferguson's. A frightening dark light shone from his eyes and focused on the Little Skull wielding the bone dagger. His expression was one of incredulity and shock, as if he'd found a priceless treasure. His lips trembled uncontrollably.
"Grandmaster Edwin, what's wrong?" Belinda looked at Edwin with a baffled expression and asked the exact same question that Maxine had asked Ferguson.
"That Little Skull, he's not afraid of the Radiance of Light!" Ferguson and Edwin exclaimed almost at the same time with different emotions in their hearts.
"I don't know how this person did it, but he must die now. He can't stay in this world for a second longer!" This was the first time in so many years that Ferguson had made up his mind to kill someone. There was an unquestionable resolution in his words.
On the other side, Edwin took a deep breath and said with wild joy, "He must live no matter what! Light magic has always been the bane of necromancy magic for thousands of years. If the dark creatures of the necromancy magic can be unafraid of light magic, then the Calamity Church will completely reverse the situation. The Church of Light will find it difficult to stop our advance! "
Belinda immediately came to her senses when she heard these words. Her eyes were also filled with shock and joy. She looked at Edwin and said, "What should we do?"
"We must save him at all costs. He must not die!" Edwin said resolutely. He had never wanted to protect someone as much as he did at this moment!
