Chapter 171 - 171 Lord With Two Heroes?
171 Lord With Two Heroes?
A huge light screen shot upward, shielding the enemy troops. Hymns were sung, as though an angel had appeared on the scene.
It felt as if light sprites were sprinkling drops of light in the sky…
All of this was an illusion. The legendary Kingdom of Heaven was just an illusion projected over the Overlord Plane.
“Eternal Holy Light!”
The Mage Army chanted the holy incantations.
The Light-Type heroes sighed when they saw what was happening below. They felt that it was a waste of time to spend so long fighting the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint. If they remained here, the fruits of their labor would be snatched away by others.
The Light-Types didn’t want to waste their time in the air. They realized that they might not be able to defeat the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint in a short time. The only way to put an end to all this was to eliminate Lord Su Wan.
“She, ever likely, seems to have two heroes,” said the Light Mage.
“How terrifying!” said the Starlight Swordsman. “How powerful is she?”
Lords could have multiple heroes. However, only the strongest Lords could make a contract with more than one hero.
For students like them who were still in the academy, it was impossible to make a contract with more than one hero.
Su Wan had two dragons. One was black and another, white. No matter how they looked at it, the number of Lords in Su Wan’s team and the number of heroes did not tally.
Right now, there were three heroes on Su Wan’s team. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon, the White Dragon Saint, and Xu Yuan. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon’s Lord was Bevin. There were two heroes remaining and only one Lord, Su Wan.
The numbers didn’t match. The only explanation was that Su Wan might be the Lord of both the black and the white dragon.
“Fortunately, that little black dragon doesn’t have much combat power.”
“Let’s work together and eliminate her first!”
“Once she is eliminated, the heroes won’t have any bearings.”
The Light-Type heroes thought about it carefully. If Su Wan was eliminated, both her heroes would be eliminated too. In that case, the only enemy left would be the Red-Eyed Black Dragon.
The three Light-Type heroes against one Red-Eyed Black Dragon would be an easy fight. For them, it would be a win-win situation!
However, they needed to get rid of Su Wan first.
Meanwhile, Su Wan received a prompt in her mind.
[Congratulations, Symbiont Su Wan! You have obtained a temporary skill, the Dark Destructive Light.]
Su Wan was stunned. ‘Symbiont? What does that mean?’
She was confused. However, she brushed off her doubts for the moment. “Dark Destructive Light?” she muttered. “Surely, this is related to Xu Yuan.”
Su Wan glanced at Xu Yuan. He was still watching the show happily. This made Su Wan angry.
‘Forget it!’ Su Wan wasn’t sure if this was truly Xu Yuan’s ability.
She had never received or seen such an ability from Xu Yuan before. However, Xu Yuan hid too many things from her, so she couldn’t be sure.
“Let’s just try,” she said excitedly. She clasped her hands in front of her chest as though she was holding something. She uttered an incantation.
“The world changed color! The clouds that were dyed gold by the Holy Light were now turning black. In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark and red lightning rumbled.
“What’s going on?” The Light Mage was shocked.
The other Light-Type heroes were stunned too.
“The Holy Light will never admit defeat!” The Ascetic Army glowed in golden light.
Their faith turned into a substantial power that dyed the light screen.
At this moment, a strong wind started to blow. The towering ancient trees in the distance were blown away by the wind!
“Such deep darkness…”
The White Dragon Saint’s voice trembled.
He was absolutely sure that this was Xu Yuan’s doing. There was no doubt about it. Su Wan, a human Overlord, received a little nudge from Xu Yuan and cast such a powerful spell!
Su Wan was finally finished with the incantation. Her voice was heavy on the last syllable. In an instant, the earth trembled, and the mountains shook.
Rays of black light emerged from the ground.
“Dark Destructive Light!” Su Wan shouted.
A huge black pillar of light emerged from the ground and shot up into the sky. The surface of the ground had been shattered by the impact.
The screen of holy light that the Ascetic Army and the Nun Army had absolute trust in was shattered as easily as glass.
The crash resounded in the air. The light screen was destroyed into fragments.
“How is this possible?” some of the knights’ faith wavered. “Is this heavenly punishment?”
They saw red lightning descend on them. This was the punishment meted out to them by the Supreme Will!
“Hurry! Run!”
Some of the troops were still in a daze. Others tried to warn them as they escaped from the range of fire.
Those who fled were spared. Those who were still in a daze were caught by the black pillar of light. Their entire bodies were corroded by the black light. They dissipated.
The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were greeted by the black flames! They trembled in fear.
“No!”
One of the Knights was touched by the black flames, and he instantly combusted. The blazing black fire burned everything.
“P-please… save… me!”
The Knight writhed on the ground in agony.
“Water!”
“Use water!”
The Ascetics reminded the Mage Army. The Mage Army calmed themselves enough to act on it.
“Quick, use water magic!”
The Mage Army began to chant. Pillars of water shot out of the ground and splashed on the Knight who was burning.
“Ah!” The Knight let out an even more tragic cry.
The water did not affect the fire.
“Noooo!”
“Stop! Stop it!”
Everyone noticed that the black flames showed no signs of abating. Instead, the water seemed to make it burn even more fiercely. It was like spraying gasoline on an already burning fire.
