Chapter 569: Chapter 362: Return
Those were a pair of eyes as brilliant as the sun. As their seal was broken, a torrent of Holy Light gushed out uncontrollably, completely ignoring this world’s restrictions on the use of Magic.
This Holy Light enveloped her body like flowing water before gathering high above, slowly coalescing into the figure of a woman wearing a crown and holding a Magic Staff. Her features were indistinct, yet for some reason, Levi felt her beauty was such that it would make the Sun and Moon hide their faces and the gods bow their heads.
A fierce gust of wind suddenly attacked from behind Levi. He felt a tearing coldness at the back of his neck, but before he could react, the figure condensed from Holy Light had waved a hand. A ball of golden light shot straight toward the attacking Urolo.
Urolo, who was swooping down from above to launch his attack, clearly hadn’t anticipated this. It was too late to dodge, and the ball of light slammed into his chest.
"AWOOO~" With a bloodcurdling howl, the Divine Servant plummeted from the sky and crashed to the ground.
His magnificent chest, which not even a Bed Crossbow could pierce, now looked as if it had been doused in concentrated sulfuric acid. A hole had been dissolved straight through it, and the Holy Light Element was still spreading, slow but steady. Countless resentful faces emerged from His body, wailing in agony.
The Holy Light was clearly a powerful counter to these resentful spirits. Urolo’s face was contorted in immense, indescribable pain. He clutched his chest with both hands as if trying to stop the spirits from escaping.
The figure’s actions were not over. With another gentle wave, a pillar of light descended from the heavens and enveloped Levi.
It was like soaking in a hot spring. Levi felt a pleasant warmth spread through him. The five Holy Light Seeds within him began to merge into his five limbs, pumping scorching-hot currents throughout his body. It felt as if his very foundation was being continuously strengthened, pushing him toward some unknown level.
’This is an ascension ceremony!!!’
It was as if a world-splitting Giant Axe had cleaved through the fog before his eyes. The clarity of the entire world suddenly leaped to a new level. He felt terrifyingly light, and everything between heaven and earth became clear down to the smallest detail.
From that moment on, an unimaginably vast amount of Holy Light filled his entire being, as if every muscle and every cell was storing it.
A point of light also appeared abruptly in his chaotic spiritual world, and within it, a seed began to gestate.
He—had ascended to the Legendary realm!
It was a moment of enlightenment, a tangible feeling of Power flooding his entire body.
Only then did the figure seem to exhaust all its power. After giving the Lord a deep look, it vanished like smoke.
Fatir, as if her strength was also spent, closed her eyes. Her body swayed and began to fall, but thankfully, Little Buji quickly grabbed her collar with her tiny hands. Flapping her little wings desperately, she managed to gently lower the Saintess to the ground.
Seeing they were all right, Levi turned his attention to Urolo on the ground, whose condition was starting to stabilize. He clenched his fists and grinned, revealing two rows of perfectly white teeth. He was terrifyingly strong now!
It wasn’t just the increase in strength from ascending to the Legendary realm. The figure that looked like the Holy Light Goddess had not only completed his ascension ceremony but had also granted him some kind of authority in this world!
Not only could he use the Holy Light within him, he could even...
"Spear!"
Something incredible happened.
Following the Lord’s heroic shout, the countless lightning bolts streaking through the gray clouds seemed to be snatched by a pair of invisible giant hands. In an instant, they were forged into a Thunder Long Spear that shot down in a straight line of light. With a THUD, it plunged into Urolo’s body.
The savage power contained within this purple spear, compressed from pure energy, was simply unimaginable.
It was no less than a Ten Thousand Falling Thunders cast by a top-tier Legendary Mage, enough to destroy half a city.
Abundant Thunder Element erupted and rampaged within Urolo’s body, and the scent of cooked meat wafted to the Lord’s nose.
"AARGH!"
The creature howled in pain again, the flesh on its chest torn and mangled.
Levi felt as if he were now the favored child of the universe, able to command all things to serve him at will.
At his whim, countless bolts of lightning rained down from the heavens.
The continuous CRACKLE of thunder assaulted the ears, nearly rupturing one’s eardrums.
A continuous sheet of electric dragons spread wildly across the lead-gray clouds. It was like a waterfall cascading down or a pool of lightning in the sky unleashing its fury, illuminating the entire gray world as bright as day.
Countless lightning bolts rained down, blasting Urolo’s massive body to pieces. But even so, He did not die. His eyes remained fixed on the Lord, filled with hatred.
He was a Demigod! His Life Force was even more tenacious than a Giant Dragon’s. As long as He had time to recover, He could make a powerful comeback!
But who was the Lord? He was the kind of ruthless person who would stab a corpse three times and burn it to ash just to be sure. How could he pass up the chance to kick a man while he was down?
He stretched his right hand toward the sky. The world instantly turned from gray to pitch-black, with only the occasional lightning snake striking down to provide a flicker of light.
An orb of light descended from the sky like a meteor and landed in his hand in an instant—it was a golden Longsword, 1.9 meters long, its blade engraved with intricate and beautiful patterns. The pommel was, strikingly, a sun wheel.
This was the Holy Light Church’s Divine Artifact, the Ephesos Sword.
Levi, who had been so battered and bruised before, now stood on Urolo’s chest and raised the Divine Artifact high!
An innumerable amount of Holy Light from his body surged into the sword, and he swung it down!
"NO!!!"
Something called fear spread in Urolo’s eyes. He seemed to realize that destruction was imminent. He roared, He tried to get up—it was a final struggle. But pinned and suppressed by the Divine Artifact, even a death throe could change nothing. Moreover, the person wielding this Damascus Sword had no idea what mercy even meant.
As the last drop of rain fell upon His chest, the sword, brimming with Holy Light, was swung down with force.
Like a dry leaf tossed into a fire, His massive body began to dissolve under the wash of empowered Holy Light, gradually dissipating into nothingness.
With the death of the Divine Servant who caused the fall of the Trial World, the clouds parted and the sky cleared. Rays of sunlight fell upon the Lord, making him appear brilliant and dazzling.
"Father, we won!" Buji flew over, grabbed the Lord’s cheeks, and gave him a flurry of kisses.
To be honest, no matter how much she trusted her father, she had been sweating bullets for him. The enemy was so strong that a single glance had made her tremble uncontrollably, forcing her to hide in Sister Fatir’s clothes and cheer from the sidelines.
"Obis Lachi!" Even Levi couldn’t help but sigh in relief, blurting out the famous catchphrase.
Thankfully, he hadn’t forcefully refused to let Fatir come along, or things could have turned out very differently.
After all, he was just a flexible believer who only paid lip service to the Goddess. Without Fatir, there was no guarantee the Holy Light Goddess would have allowed him to undergo the ascension ceremony and granted him a portion of authority over this world.
However, with the death of the Fallen Divine Servant, that indescribable authority also seemed to vanish like smoke. The Lord, having tasted its power, felt a sense of loss.
The Divine Artifact in his hands also turned into golden light and dissipated into the world. Levi had originally planned to "borrow" it, to serve as his reward for dealing with the Fallen Divine Servant, but now that was all for naught.
He regretted not putting the Ephesos Sword directly into his system inventory just now. Perhaps he could have forcefully kept it.
A sword he gripped was something not even a Giant Dragon could pry loose, but who would have thought the sword had a trick like this up its sleeve.
’This is so treacherous!’
Levi took a deep breath, suppressing the cataclysmic pain in his heart, and said as if nothing was wrong, "Let’s go check on Fatir."
When he reached Fatir’s side and examined her carefully, he found she had only fainted and would wake up after some rest.
Levi looked around. Once the three of them left, there wouldn’t be a single living soul left in this world.
If Igo Saint ever found out that their actions had doomed all the natives of this world, he wondered what they would think.
But none of that had anything to do with him anymore. He already felt a pulling sensation, and with a flash of golden light, the three of them vanished completely from this world.
