Chapter 136 - Slaying An Epic Rank
This time, the call of war was from Wright’s side and it was Christina who decided to attack first.
She received reports of huge movements from the frontlines and came to know that Amidon was gathering its forces.
After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to take the chance and attack first and crush Amidon’s forces even before they could gather.
Since it was her call, she had to do her part in the battle and try to defeat the other as soon as possible.
But who knew Amidon would have already sent the Pseudo Epic ranks?
Alex passed out due to the spell and when he woke up, he was surely going to rush here.
Christina wanted to finish things quickly before Alex could reach here.
For the past few days, she was really worried about Alex.
It may not look like but Alex was trying to hold the pain inside him.
Those hollow lifeless eyes as if his soul had been sucked away really gave one chill.
Moreover, due to the binding contract, one could feel the other party’s emotion if it reached extreme and since she was quite close to Alex, she could feel the loneliness in his heart which had been filled with untold misery and sorrow.
Christina’s resolute expression made the man flinch back a little.
The man’s expression turned ugly on hearing Christina’s words. He didn’t think that not only Christina wasn’t intimidated by his words, but she also didn’t take a step back seeing an Epic rank warrior before him.
“Do you want me to clap for you?” The man shouted with widened eyes and he raised his sword high while Christina lunged toward him.
He raised his hand to parry Christina’s clumsy blow but Christina had forced herself to pour all her hatred and anger into that blow.
The man easily parried the blow.
But that’s what he thought as immediately after that, the keen edge of Christina’s sword found its way towards his throat opening a deep gash wound that instantly swelled.
The man howled with anger and pain while clutching the ghastly wound tightly to prevent the blood from spraying out and jumped back.
He was shocked to see Christina’s attack piercing his defence but as he looked closely, he found the golden shining emitting from Christina and felt a strong outburst of mana coming from her which startled him.
Blessings of Goddess Of War
To get her blessings, many knights drenched in sweat and blood tried to prove themselves capable of getting her blessings but only a handful of people were able to get it.
The special trait of the Goddess Of War was faith conversion. Unlike other Goddesses who use the power of Faith to grant blessings or use it to get stronger, the Goddess of War can use the positive emotion of others and use it to strengthen her attack.
Unlike other ways where one suffers a backlash due to raising one strength temporarily, using another’s beliefs and emotions doesn’t cause any backlash.
And on top of that, Goddess Of War’s holy attack which was known as Excalibur can pull out everyone’s power a bit and cast a strong attack.
The myth of this attack had been spread far and wide and many people broke their knees kneeling before her to get the blessings to perform the attack but to date there was none.
Many people tried to replicate it and use Goddess’s blessing to cast the attack but they failed whereasChristina, as if she knew the attack from the beginning, came to use it quite naturally.
Christiana raised her sword while looking around at her soldiers.
“All of you lend your strength.”Christina’s voice rang and spread across the battlefield.
Many who were exchanging blows with the other forces stopped in their tracks on hearing Christina’s words.
“Take my strengths, Lady Christina.”
“Crush that bastard!!”
“Commander, we believe in you.”
Loud cheers erupted amid the battlefield as the soldiers responded to Christina’s call.
Anyone who responded to Christina’s call felt a strong outburst of emotion and their blood boiled which raised their morale.
They started to glow faintly with golden light and small particles of light started to emerge from their body and floated up towards the sky.
The scene looked as if the battlefield had been lit by thousands of fireflies and small orbs like flashing lights started to fly toward Christina.
An unearthly radiant glow arose from Christina as her golden hair broke free from the bun and started to flutter with a golden shine.
All the light that spread on the battlefield started to condense on her sword which started to glow brightly.
“Wow!!”Everyone exclaimed with a surprised expression and all the battles happening around momentarily stopped.
Anyone who saw the golden bright light had an urge to stop fighting and lay their lives before it.
It was a subconscious feeling that sprouted deep inside one’s heart.
As long as one was a warrior, he had to worship the light and show his respect toward her who carried a part of the Goddess Of War whose blessings can even turn a cripple who was unable to walk into a fierce warrior capable of harvesting the lives of thousands.
A beam of golden light shot from Christina and her eyes started to glow brightly.
“I have killed thousands of Epic rank when I was at my prime. But even if I have fallen, I will harvest your life so the might of a woman.”
” This is your end!!”Christina shouted as she raised her sword and slashed at the enemy.
The Pseudo Epic rank warrior snapped out of his thoughts as the huge pillar of light descended on him without any mercy.
Feeling the strong threatening feeling he decided to run away with his life but the light descended on him as fast as a meteor and crashed on him.
“Noooooooooooooo!!”
As his loud shout rang on the battlefield, the whole battlefield was illuminated by a flash of blinding light that made everyone lose their vision momentarily.
The land was split apart by Christina’s blow and Pseudo Epic’s body was vaporized due to the attack.
Christina struggled to remain standing as she had suffered severe wounds from the exchange with the Epic rank before.
As she was about to fall, she felt two soft hands holding her and supporting her body.
“You are finally here.”
“Riya, Please take care of everything until I wake up”Christina passed out after speaking her last words.
“Don’t worry I will take care of everything until My Lord arrives.”
“You can take a rest and leave everything else to me,” Riya muttered as her eyes flashed with strong killing intent.
