Chapter 527: Counter Kill (III)
In the eyes of many lower ranked soldiers, Long Haochen was like the descending god of light, bestowing his warmth and sweeping away all their pain and fatigue. A feeling close to worship started to rise instantly in them.
The scope of the rain of light was really large. Not only did it cover the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass, but even the location of the previous battlefield and the demon camp were engulfed inside.
The demon god pillar glistened once again. The extremely beautiful light in the humans’ eyes was a fatal catastrophe to the demons.
Seven pillars of light spreading out similar auras of darkness soared to the sky, forming a dark red barrier using the seven pillars as base, englobing the demon camp.
Without a doubt, the spell Long Haochen completed had reached the scale of forbidden grade. And even Sheng Yue had never seen one of such scale before.
At the same time, this was the most peaceful forbidden spell that Sheng Yue had ever seen. Some Saints of the ninth step from the Priest Temple could also release healing spells of large scale and at the forbidden spell level, but its healing effects would be much more direct than Long Haochen’s, and its effects also greater. However, it couldn’t compare to Long Haochen’s in terms of softness and scope. Englobing a third of the Exorcist Mountain Pass was the most a supreme powerhouse from the Priest Temple could do. And Long Haochen’s forbidden spell took not much time to produce such a rain.
Sheng Yue had a deep reaction. Bathed in the holy rain, not only did his body draw benefit, but also his soul. It was cleansed, and his heart’s wound healed. It had no less effect on him than on a wounded person that was made to recover by it.
All negative feelings disappeared suddenly from the heads of the soldiers, and the injuries on their bodies slowly healed.
Gradually, some of the soldiers started to kneel in front of Long Haochen and this scene rapidly spread to the whole Exorcist City.
Not only the lower soldiers kneeled, but even some powerhouses of the fifth and sixth step. They were completely purified of all bad things that had started to accumulate in them.
As this miraculous rain descended in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, a large amount of wounded people were brought out on the outside ground, bathed in the rain of light. The whole Exorcist Mountain Pass was drizzling with a thin golden layer because of this sudden event.
The seven great demon gods who joined their hands to create this barrier also saw small ripples of golden light on their extremely dark barrier, symbol of its continuous purification.
The seven great demon gods stood in front of their respective pillars with grim looks. They didn’t have the feeling that they were resissting against a light elemental forbidden spell, but against a heavenly power.
Cai’er was like the others, standing in the city and watching the Golden Foundation Knight from afar. Of course she would not kneel down, but her eyes were moist since long ago, and tears kept sliding down her whole face. Bathed in this rain of light, all her previous injuries recovered gradually, and the feelings repressed in her heart disappeared without a sound.
If only one person could be able to tell the identity of this Golden Foundation Knight, that would be, without a doubt, her.
She didn’t recognize him from his aura, but recognized the shield that they obtained from their trip in the Swamps of Gloom! The snail carapace shaped spiral shield, letting out orange glows of extremely pure holy light. What else could it be than the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon?
It’s him! He has come, finally! This instant, Cai’er felt her heart being moved irreparably by the floating Long Haochen, and the memories buried deep inside her finally showed some movement, waiting to surge out at all costs. The seal that had repressed her memories for so long seemed to have finally loosened strongly.
Why… Why aren’t you letting me recall him? Just why??Cai’er’s tears started to drip even faster, and at the sight of Long Haochen, she felt a great pain.
This divine rain lasted for no less than half an hour, and when the golden color gradually dispersed from the sky, an extremely warm sun came to view. In Exorcist City, acclamation for the earlier kill of Allocer started to burst forth once again, this time even more loudly.
Spreading out his wings, Star King glided through the Exorcist City. Sheng Yue’s figure twinkled, and rapidly joined Long Haochen’s side. But he found out with amazement that even after using such a powerful forbidden spell, the holy light aura spreading out from Long Haochen’s body was even more intense than before. Although no fluctuation of spiritual energy could be sensed on him, he and his Starlight Unicorn seemed to be supported by the power of light, supported by the power of light and one with it.
Even Sheng Yue had never seen someone else reach such a state.
Long Haochen’s fully used spell was called Holy Rain, a light elemental forbidden spell that he had cultivated in the cave. In terms of healing effect, this forbidden healing spell useable by knights was unable to compare with the forbidden healing spell belonging to priests. After all, knights were not specialized in healing like priests.
But this Holy Rain has its own features. The drops of rain are even more gentle in times of healing, and more easily absorbed. Furthermore, the long, steady period of healing and therapeutic relief would not only massively boost one side’s morale and replenish physical power for the targets, but also get rid of negative feelings.
In other words, in terms of healing alone, Divine Rain is quite below other healing forbidden spells, but it has many more uses. Furthermore, it requires only a third or a half of the full chant to start the forbidden rain. But its healing effect will vary with the strength of the user, and will of course have limited effects when used by a Guardian Knight of the eighth step.
Right before, when Long Haochen used Holy Rain, its range, purity and global effects were far above its original effects. The instantaneous flash of insights and ignition of his emotions, plus the mobilization of his physique as a god’s chosen one made his use of this spell close to perfection. Even among the top five demon gods, only the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, and Star Demon God could use something of such scale.
The powerhouses from the Assassins Temple that gave themselves the task of protecting Long Haochen returned to the city one after another.
In town, Sheng Lingxin had long ago commanded the soldiers to leave an open space for Long Haochen, and when he landed in the city, the top powerhouses from the Assassin Temple all reflexively surrounded him. Having used such a powerful forbidden spell, they understood very clearly that this Golden Foundation Knight state must be in quite the weakened state. This was all the more reason to not let the demons take any opportunity.
But of course, as it turned out, the demons currently didn’t have forces to ambush him. When the seven great demon gods released that dark red barrier, they expended a lot of power. Even if the demon god pillars were great, they served at most to amplify the wielders’ strength, but their consumption of magic power remained considerable. What they faced was not Long Haochen but heaven’s might!
Star King was floating, but his wings had both vanished. His first movement was to turn around to face Long Haochen, still sitting on his back. His limpid eyes were full of reverence and warmth.
“Master, I thank you.” This appellation of master was chosen completely willingly by Star King. He followed Long Haochen because of his identity as Scion of Light, and not because of his approval of Haochen’s character. The main point was that he could benefit from Long Haochen’s pure light element. Additionally, he sensed Long Haochen’s kindness.
After following Long Haochen to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, Star King actually didn’t feel really good. Seeing the Scion of Light’s ongoing slaughters, although the ones slaughtered were demons, nonetheless his hand kept being contaminated with blood.
But just a moment ago, Star King really became convinced by Long Haochen. As his mount, his perception of Long Haochen’s emotions as he put Rain of Light into use was second to no one else, including all the changes in his emotions. At the time Long Haochen used it, he didn’t put his own body’s state in consideration at all, and that kindness deeply touched Star King, a light elemental magical beast of the kindest type.
The one who received the most of Rain of Light’s influence was Star King. The boundary that Sheng Yue sensed was also sensed by Star King. To him, this was the boundary of a Divine Unicorn! If one studied him attentively, he would see that the white hairs on the body of the current Star King already took on a thin golden color. That was the sign that his transformation into a Divine Unicorn had started. He believed that as long as he kept following Long Haochen, he would succeed in evolving before too long.
Long Haochen jumped down from Star King’s body. At this very moment, the spiritual energy in his body, including the energy stored in the Golden Foundation Armor, was all exhausted. But extraordinarily, he wasn’t in a weakened state. At this time, he was like an ordinary person with only a reinforced mental capacity. Furthermore, his exhausted spiritual energy was quietly recovering. Without a need for him to act, the outside light essence will autonomously enter his body, and become of the purest kind through assimilation, while the rather impure light essence would find it difficult to approach him. This saved Long Haochen from the process of filtering.
A total of eleven powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were around Long Haochen, including Sheng Yue. Aside from the latter, the others were all clad in black, the head being no exception. The demeanor of each of them was greatly imposing.
