Chapter Ninety-Five: The Knights of Holy Light.

"Bang bang bang," the earth trembled violently from the impact.

The Soul Reaper was forced out.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that while this darkness envelops the Soul Reaper, it cannot touch its body. It's as if there's a layer of space between them; they exist on different dimensions.

Delin did not despair; he continued his attack.

An endless stream of dark power surged forth, eroding this land.

Soon, the space itself underwent a slight change.

A few black spots appeared on the Soul Reaper's body.

But the Soul Reaper paid no heed and continued fighting. His great scythe seemed to be equipped with a tiny electric motor, swinging endlessly.

Darkness and scythe, madness in layers.

The commotion from their battle grew increasingly intense.

“Not enough, I need more and more power,” Delin roared through gritted teeth, his eyes seemingly corrupted by darkness, turning pure black.

"Hehehe, as you wish." The monster, which was completely invisible, let out a sinister laugh.

"Thump thump thump," Delin's heart raced. Countless black eyes suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and from within those eyes emerged tentacles that shone with a grayish-black light.

The tentacle emitted a hissing sound as it moved.

It contains intense mental fluctuations.

The Soul Reaper was affected by the reality; his body trembled. His attack speed was also noticeably reduced.

"My time is running out." Delin felt his consciousness growing increasingly blurred; he seemed about to sink into the depths of darkness, completely cut off from the world. And in doing so, his soul would be devoured by an unknown monster, leading to his utter death.

"I was indeed arrogant; I am destined for tragedy."

"No, I need to end all of this as soon as possible."

Delin twisted his body forcefully, and his hand gradually stretched out.

Combat Skill: Dark Blade

"Ding-dong," the blade collided with the sickle, producing a strange sound.

The Soul Reaper was forced back a distance, and dark purple demonic fire suddenly erupted from his eyes.

With a "boom," the death energy from all directions was forcibly absorbed.

The Soul Reaper seemed to have been restored and strengthened, and its aura increased significantly.

"Not enough, not enough, there's simply no way to defeat him." Delin felt uneasy. He had betrayed everything; he wanted to prove himself and save the country.

But now, a single Soul Reaper has rendered him helpless. He seems to be of little use to the Kingdom of Philar, which disheartens him.

"Perhaps I should indeed obey His Majesty the King's order and go to the Flame Serpent Canyon to protect Princess Elena."

Delin regretted it.

The emergence of this emotion significantly weakened his willpower.

His body was even more deformed, and tiny mouths had grown out of it.

Now he only has a human form, but in terms of details, the difference between him and a human is too great.

The Soul Reaper charged forward.

The battle continues.

...

"Something seems to have happened in the Scourge."

The fleeing human army discovered that the spread of the undead scourge had slowed slightly, making their escape easier.

"Could it be that some important figure has already learned of the situation here and is currently fighting against it?" Aunt Liz wondered.

However, she quickly shook her head: "Never mind, we must retreat wholeheartedly now. If there really is such a benefactor, then I pray to the great God of Light to protect him and keep him safe."

...

Royal City of Philar.

Within the Brightness Sect.

Numerous believers knelt before the statue of God, praying with sincere devotion.

Perhaps the gods really are useful.

In the next instant, holy white light patterns appeared on the ground and formed a teleportation array.

"Whoosh," accompanied by a whooshing sound.

A large group of knights riding flying unicorns and wearing white armor appeared here.

"The Church's reinforcements have finally arrived." Some of the clergy nearby were almost moved to tears.

"Light will surely destroy evil."

"Evil dragon, you are evil."

The leading knight commander, a young man, gave a righteous shout and galloped away on his horse.

His speed was incredibly fast, almost like the speed of light.

The weak have no way of seeing his speed clearly.

More knights quickly followed.

From a distance, it looked like a huge white meteor shower bursting out of the church.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that they have a specific lineup.

This kind of formation, which uses people as its core and allows them to move freely, is very powerful.

As soon as it appeared between heaven and earth, it released white light, forming a towering, translucent, four-winged male angel.

More light emanated from the angels.

"I'm alright? I don't have to die?" Many injured citizens discovered that their injuries were rapidly healing.

The fear and anxiety I had felt before had disappeared.

"Waaaaah, thank you for the light, praise be to the God of Light."

"Please, great God of Light, destroy the evil dragon."

“My child was swallowed whole by a dragon. God, please punish these dragons and let them receive the punishment they deserve.”

...

After suffering, people felt gratitude, trust, and awe towards the God of Light.

An invisible power of faith emanated from the foreheads of many citizens.

"The legendary Holy Light Knights?"

The newly emerged knightly order has caused quite a stir.

Luvika and Sofia noticed them immediately.

The two dragons felt like vomiting; they hated the peaceful white light. Under its glow, their sins were slowly dissipating. But this was unacceptable to the dragons.

"Sophia, let's join forces and kill them first." Luwicka charged towards the Knights.

“Of course.” Sophia was very cooperative; she immediately turned around and rushed out.

However, the Knights were also actively approaching them.

Light Magic [Holy Light Shines].

The young commander drew a long, thin spear and aimed it at Sophia.

A white beam of light shot out from the tip of the spear.

This strike was exceptionally powerful.

Magic [Wooden Shield]: Sophia glowed green, creating a giant green shield in front of her to block the pillar of light.

However, when the beam of light touched the shield, the shield shattered after only one second of resistance.

The beam of light was unstoppable and slammed into Sophia's body again.

With a "bang," Sophia's body flew out and crashed into a building a kilometer away. The building collapsed with a deafening roar, utterly unable to withstand the weight of a giant dragon. Large chunks of debris covered Sophia's body.

"It hurts so much!" Sophia shuddered and twisted, knocking everything around her away. A bloody hole now appeared in her chest. The bones of a dragon could be vaguely seen there.

“I, Premi, am the saint of the God of Light in the mortal world,” said the Knight Commander. “Now, I will cut off your head and let you die.”

"Ha, you think I don't exist?" Luvica finally arrived, or rather, he deliberately lagged behind, letting Sophia draw the Holy Light Knights' attention. He, meanwhile, cunningly advanced to the rear of the Knights.

Spatial Magic: Spatial Blade

Spatial Magic: Spatial Suppression

A continuous stream of magical spells was unleashed.

In an instant, space shattered, transforming into countless blades that surged into the crowd.

The knights wanted to change formation and evade.

However, the space solidified, like a swamp, firmly locking them in.

The spatial blade sliced ​​through the bodies of five or six knights.

"Thud, thud, thud," they fell to the ground. Blood stained their mounts.

"Ah-hoo!" The unicorn roared sadly. They and these knights had been together since childhood, and were even closer than husband and wife.

The Light Magic [Wrath of Light] enraged Premi, who quickly manipulated the giant four-winged angel to strike back.

Endless bursts of light and flame erupted, engulfing the area where Luvika was located.

Spatial magic [Teleportation]: Luvica sensed danger and dared not confront it head-on. In an instant, he vanished from his spot and reappeared beside Sophia.

“This Holy Light Knights are very powerful,” Sophia said breathlessly. “Their leader is no ordinary legendary-level expert either.”

Luvika dismissed it: "The battle has only just begun."

The battle had only just begun when Premi led his knights, propelled by a massive four-winged angel, and charged forward.

Wherever they passed, white light shot out, burning everything in the world and turning it into ashes.

It's only because there's no one here that the Holy Light Knights wouldn't dare to do this.

After all, they are messengers of justice, representing righteousness and light.

They cannot be so cruel; it is very bad for spreading the faith in the God of Light.

Innate Bloodline Skill: Emerald Dragon Breath

The two green dragons wasted no time; they left their original positions and began bombarding the Holy Light Knights.

The four-winged angel retaliated passionately, unleashing endless white light and fire.

In less than ten seconds, before they had even determined a winner, the ground within a radius of tens of thousands of meters was already being ravaged and collapsed by their battle.

The scene was terrifying; the aftershocks and resulting waves leaked out recklessly.

This caused severe damage to the entire royal city once again.

"Retreat immediately."

"Get out of here."

"Leave the venue to the esteemed Holy Light Knights."

...

People aren't stupid; they're now running frantically out of the city.

Philaral VII even ordered a large number of superhuman soldiers to evacuate the crowd.

However, the time was too short.

There are too many citizens.

Even in just a few minutes, or even half an hour, it's impossible to completely clear out all the people.

"Live as long as you can."

Philaral VII was open-minded; he didn't need everyone to survive, he only needed a portion.

Moreover, even if all the citizens die.

Philaril VII would not be too desperate.

Because the Kingdom of Philar is very large and has a large population.

In the future, we can simply relocate people from other places.

"Is this the battle of the ultimate legends?" King Philar VII was distracted and looked at the battlefield.

Even with his masterful level of understanding, he felt a profound sense of insignificance at that moment.

"Damn you, Roloroa! If it weren't for your interference, my Kingdom of Philar wouldn't be in this state. My Kingdom of Philar would be able to produce such powerful individuals in such a short time. You've ruined us."

What followed was endless resentment.

If hatred could slay dragons, Philar VII could kill Loya ten times over at this moment.

...

As time passed, Sophia's injuries worsened. Large amounts of dragon blood sprayed around her.

In some places, her keel was exposed.

Of course, given a dragon's constitution, she was still far from death.

Luvica's injuries have decreased significantly.

At the same time, Luwicka's spatial magic is very powerful.

He killed some more knights.

"This dragon is extraordinary. If this continues, all the knights will be killed." Although Premi's face remained firm and confident, he was very anxious inside.

He has discovered that the Holy Knights' current strength is insufficient to deal with two green dragons at the same time.

The Holy Light Knights can only resist head-on for a period of time.

But if this goes on for too long, they will definitely be wiped out.

Of course, the two green dragons will inevitably pay a heavy price.

Even Sophia, the weaker dragon, has a fairly high probability of dying.

"O Most High and Merciful God, grant me strength."

Premi took a deep breath and prayed earnestly.

"Great God of Light, grant us the power to eliminate evil." The other knights followed suit in their prayer.

Their bodies underwent noticeable changes. White light emanated from them, and they began to burn.

This turned them all into people of white fire.

Their strength has also improved significantly.

However, this was not a true response from the great God of Light. It was merely a kind of [pseudo-forbidden technique] similar to burning one's life force in exchange for immense power.

As for their "prayer," that's just empty talk.

Getting back to the main point,

At the same time, the giant four-winged angel was evolving, and it actually grew another pair of angel wings.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," the angel's wings unfurled, spraying out dense white feathers.

Luvica teleported to Sophia's side and grabbed her dragon claw.

When the white feathers arrived, they vanished into thin air.

The feather fell to the ground.

"Bang!" The earth exploded repeatedly.

It wasn't over yet; the illusory six-winged angel continued firing into the distance.

Moreover, the sun in the sky was shining brightly at this time.

With a "crack," the light became heavy, and the space itself seemed to solidify under the pressure.

"Pfft!" Luvica and Sophia were squeezed out of the space. Luvica's expression changed drastically: "These guys actually managed to suppress space and weaken my spatial magic."

Sofia said impatiently, "If we can't dodge them, then we'll just have to fight them head-on. I refuse to believe we can't kill them all."

The six-winged angel stretched out its two large hands and pushed them sideways.

Innate Bloodline Skill: Emerald Dragon Breath

"roar,"

The two dragons sensed danger. They roared in unison. A dazzling river of green light shot out from their mouths, colliding with the oncoming giant hand.

In the blink of an eye, the white and green lights intensified, and then exploded with a loud "boom".

The powerful aftershocks instantly engulfed an area of ​​30,000 meters in radius. Within this range, anything fragile was torn to shreds, and those that couldn't be torn apart were also thrown into the distance.

The Holy Knights, Luweka, and Sophia were clearly not so easily torn apart.

So, they were thrown away by the impact of the explosion.

The strong green dragon's body was as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives during this process, and the flesh and blood on it disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Luvika, the strongest dragon, is no exception.

Fortunately, they quickly flew out of the blast radius.

On the other side, the Holy Light Knights were in much better shape. Their six-winged angels used their wings to create a protective shield, completely enveloping the entire knightly order and making it difficult for the explosion to harm the knights inside.

...

Magic: Healing Spell.

Luvica and Sofia quickly treated their wounds, and to speed up the healing process, they took out a large amount of medicine and sprayed it on the wounds.

This two-pronged approach allowed their injuries to heal quickly.

Then, they took out a large number of magic crystals, stuffed them into their mouths, and swallowed them. The previous battle had greatly depleted their extraordinary energy.

"Evil dragons, your end has come."

The Holy Light Knights, like a persistent leech, charged in again.

"Outnumbering the weak? You think we have no help?" Luvica gritted his teeth, slamming his right claw into his chest, and said, "Radesky, Soviet, Monk, Roloroa, according to the agreement before the war, you should not resist, you should obey my teleportation."

Spatial Magic: Mass Teleportation

...

Not long ago, in the East.

A dry ditch, with dense jungle on both sides.

The environment here is beautiful and safe; there are basically no monsters, at most some wild animals.

In the past, some leisurely people would come here to hunt and play.

But now it's in chaos.

A huge red dragon, carrying intense heat, fell from the sky and crashed to the edge of the ditch.

With a loud bang, the earth trembled violently.

The trench actually cracked and deepened.

A powerful dragon's might emanated from him, enveloping the area. The creatures living there were terrified, fleeing in panic to the distance.

"What's going on? What's going on? Was it an earthquake?"

"Big brother, let's run!"

"But what about the treasures here?"

"We can't worry about that now, let's get out of here first. Even if this place collapses again, as long as we're alive, we can definitely dig it out again."

Not far away, a cry of surprise came from a crack in the ditch.

Immediately afterwards, two men nimbly emerged.

However, as soon as they came out, their bodies froze.

This was because the dragon's might intimidated them.

Just now, when they were down there, the dragon's might was largely blocked by the earth and did not have a significant effect on them.

"A dragon, a red dragon..."

At the same time, the enormous red dragon was so conspicuous that the two of them noticed its presence immediately. They trembled with fear, their eyes filled with despair.

The humans of this world have all heard legends about dragons to some extent. And the legend of the red dragon is indispensable. This is a notorious creature, infamous even within the dragon race.

"Oh ho ho, two human friends, what a coincidence!"

"Unfortunately, you are too weak, so I have a greater destiny."

"Therefore, what is underground is mine."

Loya said with a smile.

"Underground?" Upon hearing this, the two widened their eyes.

"Oh no, no, no, the treasure underground is ours!" the older man shouted. He had actually broken through the dragon's might. This showed just how terrifying the potential of humanity truly was.

"That's our family's precious treasure for rising to power, how can we give it to you? You evil dragon, get out of here! This is human territory. If you stay here any longer, the kingdom's army will definitely come to kill you!" The younger brother shouted, threatening Loya with all his might, hoping to scare Loya away.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't dare say that.

However, the great treasure underground drove them mad, making them dare to do things they wouldn't have dared to do before.

“The weak have no right to point fingers at me. As for the kingdom…” Loya grinned, “It should be in complete chaos by now. Perhaps, before long, the entire kingdom will be nothing but a shell. You are ignorant and foolish.”

"At this time, you should flatter me, please me, and then pray for my great mercy."

Loya shook his head: "You clueless idiots are just wasting air by living."

Two fireballs appeared out of thin air in front of Loya and flew slowly toward the two unknown people.

The human brothers felt the intense heat and reacted instantly.

"Ah, brother, I regret it. We shouldn't have been greedy when we discovered the magic crystal mine. We should have reported the news to the nearby earl. At that time, we would have received a huge reward."

"You're so wise after the event. You agreed with me back then, and you also thought it would be better for our family to monopolize the magic crystal mine."

"I regret it, I don't want to die, waaaaah, great red dragon, please forgive me."

"I regret it too. We don't want the magic crystal mine anymore. Please, please put away the magic. I'll stop daydreaming and just be an ordinary person..."

...

Unfortunately, Loya showed no sign of giving up.

"The magic crystal mine below is quite large. To prevent the news from leaking out, the simplest way is to kill you all."

Loya said matter-of-factly, "You can blame me, but I have to say, I'm doing this for your own good. The war that's about to break out in the Kingdom of Philar is going to be terrifying. Weaklings like you could easily die a violent death. Being killed by those monsters is very painful, but I'll give you a quick death."

Seemingly realizing he was doomed, the "human leader," who had been begging for mercy in terror, couldn't help but curse with resentment: "Evil dragon, you will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death! The gods in the heavens are watching you! You will be punished by the gods! You will be slaughtered, dismembered, and devoured by humans, turning into a stinking giant!"

"Ahhh..." The fireball arrived and engulfed the two humans.

Their screams of unbearable agony lingered for a long time.

After about ten seconds, the two finally shut up. But their bodies had turned to ashes.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't keep my word," Loya said innocently. "But it's not my fault, it's all because you guys have such foul mouths."

Well, Loya didn't let these two humans die too easily; on the contrary, they died very painfully.

Loya turned his head and looked at the ditch. His double pupils easily saw through the thick soil and discovered the magic crystal buried underground.

“I’m so lucky,” Loya smiled. He had just finished conquering a major city and plundering its wealth, and was preparing to move on to other cities.

Yes, his double pupils allow him to see through many things, making treasure hunting much easier. Humans, whether they like it or not, have their wealth exposed to Loya's eyes, easily obtained by him.

Getting back to the point, when Loya passed by, he glanced at the ground and discovered that there was a magic crystal mine underground. It was like finding a large, unsecured wallet on the street.

Magic【Escape】

Loya couldn't wait any longer, and his body naturally sank into the thick earth.

Two minutes later, he arrived at a colorful crystal mine.

This place is rich in magical elements.

Practicing here will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.

[Witchcraft Inscription: Gluttony] Fully activated.

Loya eagerly opened his mouth, spewing out an endless torrent of attraction.

With a loud "boom," the nearby magic crystal ore trembled violently, then shattered into small pieces that entered Loya's mouth.

This magic crystal mine is enormous; if it were located in a kingdom, it would definitely trigger wars between major powers.

For ordinary superhumans, it would take a considerable amount of time to develop this ability.

Koloa's devouring power is incredibly strong; right now, he's like a small black hole.

He devoured these magic crystal ores at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The underground activity also has a significant impact on the surface.

The trees on the ground trembled violently. Their surfaces cracked, forming huge gaps resembling spider webs.

Fortunately, the area is sparsely populated. Although the commotion was quite loud, it didn't attract any strange or curious onlookers.

Five minutes passed without me even realizing it.

With a crash, the cracked earth collapsed and sank, turning into a large pit covering several thousand square meters.

It's not over yet; there are still magic crystal mines.

Loya naturally continued to devour.

And his strength is also increasing dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, he reached Silver Level 9.

A few minutes later, he advanced to the Gold level.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

Finally, Loya stopped.

The area of ​​the previously collapsed land has expanded to more than 10,000 square meters.

"That's about it."

A patch of ground at the edge of the crater suddenly exploded.

Loya, carrying a powerful dragon's might storm, burst forth from underground. He looked down at the earth, a smile of excitement on his face.

Meanwhile, his height has now reached over fifteen meters.

The true realm is even higher, at the [Golden Level 5].

His chest area was particularly strange, emitting a bizarre roar like an engine starting up.

With this roar, the magic power within Loya's body was boiling and rapidly increasing, making him like a perpetual furnace.

In the blink of an eye, intense fire elemental magic overflowed from his body, condensing into a layer of fiery red crystals on his skin.

Now, even without using the [Witchcraft Inscription] cheat, he is confident that he can easily kill extraordinary masters and directly confront legends.

In fact, even with Loya's immense talent and potential, such a magic crystal mine would be enough for him to advance to the Master level, or even barely to the Legend level.

However, the reason he didn't advance in such an exaggerated way was because he modified his heart, using the power of this magic crystal ore to create an [Infinite Elemental Heart] for himself.

Advancing to Master and Legend levels can also improve your strength.

Crafting the [Heart of Infinite Elements] can also increase your strength.

On the surface, both options lead to the same result.

In reality, however, creating the [Heart of Infinite Elements] would be more beneficial for Loya's future.

The Heart of Infinite Elements was one of the main cores of the high-end version of Godzilla that he created in his previous life.

Now, using his knowledge from his previous life, along with certain materials, Loya has forcibly re-edited his bloodline, giving it another upgrade.

Moreover, this upgrade specifically eliminated some of Godzilla's negative traits and incorporated certain characteristics of the Red Dragon. Finally, it also borrowed the elemental properties of this universe to give the first, fictional Godzilla a unique and powerful enhancement.

Strictly speaking, Loya's bloodline is no longer closely related to Godzilla.

He is truly a rather unconventional "Red Dragon".

"Currently, I can skip the second stage of the dragon evolution system and then select the rarer bloodlines of the third or even fourth stage. However, bloodlines above the second stage are also more expensive."

Loya's heart was filled with sighs. The system that was supposed to carry him to new heights had, at this stage, become a dispensable "precious ornamental vase."

"However, once I have enough money in the future, I can take out all the precious bloodlines in the system and then reconstruct them in my body in an alternative way to create a terrifying super god-level bloodline."

Loya suddenly had another whimsical idea.

It would definitely be easier to just use the bloodline that's already in the system and let him modify himself.

"Beep," a small white dot of light suddenly appeared on Loya's right arm.

Immediately afterward, Luvika's voice came over.

"Tsk, these two guys, they're already asking for help?" Loya was taken aback.

Well, before coming here, to avoid being picked off one by one, Luwicka placed a [spatial mark] on everyone. This thing allows Luwicka to teleport the marked beings.

Of course, if the marked person is unwilling or powerful enough, the teleportation can be forcibly rejected.

Because this thing is not very harmful, everyone agreed to install it.

At the time, Loya even thought Luvika was making a mountain out of a molehill; dealing with just the Kingdom of Philar didn't require such caution.

"Let me see who this enemy is that can force Luvika and Sofia to call upon dragons for help."

Now that his strength has increased dramatically, Loya has become bolder.

He knew perfectly well that there was definitely trouble at Luwicka's place, but he still obeyed Luwicka's summons and let the spatial imprint explode, teleporting him there.

...

The Holy Light Knights were getting closer and closer.

The surrounding space rippled. Four white pillars of light, completely different from the magic of light, descended from the sky.

“Luvika, what are you doing? I just destroyed a big city!” Radesky’s voice came from a pillar of light.

As the beam of light dissipated, the enormous two-headed dragon was revealed.

In the other three pillars of light, various giant dragons also appeared.

"Lord Luvika, your actions have cost me a great deal of wealth." The Soviet, who had previously been respectful to Luvika, was now quite displeased.

For dragons, wealth is deadly.

Luvika's decision to bring them over at this time was like taking money from their very hearts, a feeling that was extremely painful.

Of course, they could refuse, but the thought of Luvika retaliating against them afterward forced them to comply.

As for the complaints and expressions of dissatisfaction, those are minor issues. They believe that Luvika wouldn't completely offend them over such a small matter. After all, they are legends too.
