chapter 323 part 2
Tang Zheng felt a pang of envy, yet couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had thought that in this situation, the Theocracy would use a different magical item.
"But on second thought,"
"an angel summoned by a magical item should also be affected by Nigun's innate ability. This is indeed a magical item that is more suited for Nigun to use."
Looking at the Magic Sealing Crystal in his hand, Captain Nigun grew excited, his hands trembling slightly.
200 years ago, beings known as Demon Gods descended upon this world, wreaking havoc across the entire continent. The power sealed within this crystal was a mighty force capable of annihilating a Demon God!
The manpower, resources, and expenses consumed to infuse this power into the Magic Sealing Crystal could no longer be measured in money.
However, facing the legendary Undead "Death Knight," as well as that Alliance Leader, this power was necessary.
What a pity!
He still hadn't managed to draw out the Alliance Leader of Zuranon.
"The other party must also be wary of the Theocracy's power. Since you don't dare show yourself, I'll eliminate the Death Knight first. After seeing this power, though... you'll probably run away... Heh!"
"Reveal yourself! The visage of the highest tier angel!"
This thought flashed through Captain Nigun's mind as he raised the Magic Sealing Crystal in his hand, his fanatical voice echoing across the battlefield:
"Archangel Dominion!"
In that instant—
an indescribable sense of oppression was released from the Magic Sealing Crystal.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky, where it seemed as though a sun had appeared!
Sacred beams of light rained down from above!
The dazzling white light wasn't blinding; instead, it had a peaceful warmth that made one want to kneel and pray piously.
Countless white feathers materialized from the light and fluttered down.
As the brilliant white light contracted, a massive angel, wreathed in radiance and far larger than any ordinary angel, appeared in everyone's sight. It looked like an aggregate of wings.
Above the angel's head was a yellow halo. It possessed three pairs of wings—one large and two small. Unlike low-tier angels, it was no longer full of the metallic texture of a construct, but was composed of truly pure white feathers.
Strangely!
The Archangel Dominion had no head or feet and held a golden scepter symbolizing royal authority. Although it looked somewhat bizarre, it didn't feel frightening in the slightest.
The faint scent of fragrant grass wafted into everyone's nostrils.
The rotten, foul stench in the air was purged the moment the Archangel Dominion appeared, and the air quickly became clean.
The members of the Sunlight Scripture, upon seeing the Archangel Dominion in mid-air, all assumed a prayer-like posture, their faces filled with fanaticism and worship.
"Beast General" Hector Weiss, Seven-Colored Scales Kōkosh, Gagaran, and the others stared blankly, in utter disbelief.
Just the aura it exuded while hovering in mid-air was enough to make Kōkosh and the others too scared to make the slightest move, with fear emerging from the depths of their eyes.
What is this?
How could the weak, cowardly humans possibly wield such terrifying power!
The people from the Sacred Kingdom's side were also completely stunned.
Kelart subconsciously pursed her pink lips. No matter how good her disguise was, she couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression at this moment.
"What is this..."
"What is this power? How is this possible...!"
The Gray-robed Mage seemed to have been triggered by something. His face twisted as he shrieked and forcibly fled the battlefield.
The Black Armored Knight, who was locked in a fierce battle with Remedios, hadn't even figured out why Remedios wasn't suffering from the continuous bleeding effect after being hit by the Corrupting Sword when he saw the Archangel Dominion appear!
An aura of death flooded his heart.
"Damn it!"
The Black Armored Knight took advantage of Remedios's brief moment of stupor to take a sword blow head-on and retreat as if fleeing for his life.
They suddenly understood why the Alliance Leader had not appeared this whole time!
"Before a god, perish!"
Captain Nigun spoke excitedly, raising his arm and pointing at the Death Knight ahead:
"Activate Extreme Holy Strike!"
This was the power of 7th Tier Magic, a domain that humans could never reach, a level belonging to the Demon Gods.
There was no spectacular scene.
Only a pure, pale-blue pillar of light descended.
Except for Tang Zheng, no one present could track the trajectory of the magical attack.
"Even with my speed, I probably couldn't dodge it."
Tang Zheng's gaze narrowed slightly as he took in the dazed expressions of the people around him.
*7th Tier Magic "Extreme Holy Strike" discovered. Requires Faith-Type Spellcaster Level (43-49). Current conditions met.*
*Consume 1 skill point to learn?*
Tang Zheng briefly glanced at the information on his status panel, not paying it much mind.
This was a magical attack that leaned towards targeting "evil" beings.
It dealt immense damage to enemies like the Undead or those with a negative Justice Value, making it a type of targeted magic.
However, one of Tang Zheng's *Magic Transcender* passive abilities, *Super Magic Master*, could maximize all variable effects in a spell.
In his hands, this magic could unleash its maximum power, even against opponents of "positive" or "good" alignment.
At his current Player Level, he could also summon a 7th Tier Angel, so this was a skill he could master at any time.
"It's over."
Seeing the Death Knight get hit, a victor's smile had already appeared on Captain Nigun's face.
This was an inevitable result.
Everyone present let out an inexplicable sigh of relief. With the Death Knight dealt with, the crisis in the hills was half-resolved.
The pale-blue pillar of light dissipated!
And there, the Death Knight looked as if its entire body had been scorched, emitting scalding white steam. The demon horns on its head were broken, and even its black tower shield was covered in a dense web of cracks.
This was clearly a sign of having suffered a grievous blow, but—it had not perished. It still stood silently in the same spot!
The joyous expressions on the faces of Seven-Colored Scales Kōkosh, Kelart, and the others all froze, as if they were witnessing something incomprehensible and unbelievable.
Even an ordinary person could feel the indescribable and irresistible power of the magical attack unleashed by the Archangel Dominion!
How could the Death Knight possibly have withstood it!
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
Tang Zheng, however, noticed that Captain Nigun showed no surprise at all and understood. "As expected, the Slane Theocracy is well aware of the Death Knight's trait."
He had noticed just now.
When the Archangel Dominion activated "Extreme Holy Strike," it didn't use its special ability to destroy its golden scepter to enhance the attack.
"Hmph!"
Captain Nigun snorted. Failing to annihilate the Death Knight in an instant lacked a certain shock value, which was a slight pity.
But it couldn't be helped. After all, the Death Knight possessed a special ability that prevented it from dying immediately, no matter how severe the attack it suffered.
It just meant he had to attack one more time.
Thinking this, Captain Nigun prepared to have the Archangel Dominion attack again.
"Holy Hammer!"
Amidst this strange, silent atmosphere, a Watcher Dominion Angel suddenly flew down from the sky, rushing in front of the Death Knight.
Its silver nail hammer, wreathed in holy light, struck the Death Knight heavily!
*CRACK—*
The Death Knight didn't even try to dodge. Struck on the head, its entire body trembled, then disintegrated into black residue, vanishing like a snowflake in the sun.
Only its crack-covered black tower shield was left, stuck silently in the ground.
