Mark no longer hesitated and suddenly raised the ancient cross, which had been transformed from a cross necklace, high above his head!
The cross instantly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling seven-colored light. The light was so pure and so dazzling that it briefly pierced through the churning demonic energy and the gloom brought by the will of the demon god in the valley!
"In my name!" Mark's voice was hoarse but carried a power that pierced through everything. His arms were bulging with muscles as he thrust the cross, burning with holy flames, into the ground beneath his feet like a spear!
"Divine Judgment!"
Boom—!
The tip of the cross pierced deeply into the scorched ground, soaked in demonic blood!
A massive and complex magic circle composed of pure seven-colored black light suddenly unfolded around the cross, instantly covering almost the entire entrance to the valley!
The light of the magic circle shone brightly with Ellen's star and moon magic circle, and concentric circles of seven-colored ripples surged and overlapped within the magic circle, sweeping away every monster that dared to step into it!
Today, Mark's Divine Judgment no longer requires wielding a heavy weapon to smash the enemy, as it did before.
As long as his magic power is sufficient, the area affected by the magic wave generated based on the cross necklace is the range that the Holy Judgment attack can cover!
The magic power within Mark surged into the magic circle beneath his feet like a floodgate opening!
The cross necklace faithfully performed its duties, and the near-infinite supply of magic power brought the massive magic circle to its peak state in an instant!
Countless runes burning with seven-colored holy flames lit up and flowed within the magic circle, and a terrifying exorcising power targeting all filth and evil was frantically gathering and compressing, ready to be unleashed!
Mark's movements were lightning fast.
With his left hand sweeping across the "Gap of Starlight," without even looking, he scattered healing scrolls radiating soft white light like snowflakes across the battlefield!
"Holy Light Healing!"
The scroll was activated by magic, instantly transforming into pure holy light healing spells that enveloped the monsters that had just been branded with the blasphemous mark!
"Sizzle—!!!"
This is naturally Mark's most powerful means of attack.
The demon's body, enveloped in holy light, was as if it had been doused with scalding acid, and it instantly let out an extremely shrill wail!
The [Blasphemy Mark] has been triggered!
The Holy Light itself has a restraining effect on their attributes, and with the added bonus of the backlash power of the Blasphemy Mark, it transforms into the most potent poison, corroding their bodies strengthened by the power of the demon god.
Divine Judgment, along with the erosion damage from Holy Light and the backlash damage triggered by Holy Light healing!
With the double blow, those seemingly ferocious mid-level monsters fell down in droves, like harvested wheat!
The filthy demonic body sizzled in the holy light, quickly turning into black smoke and charcoal.
The demonic tide that was charging forward frantically just a second ago was wiped out in large numbers by Mark's tactic of killing while healing!
A chilling vacuum suddenly appeared on the scorched earth.
"impossible!!"
For the first time, the immense demonic will that enveloped the battlefield emitted a clear wave of shock and anger, mixed with disbelief and astonishment.
He watched as his minions vanished in the holy light, sensing the curse and devouring properties inherent in the twisted healing spell, which were diametrically opposed to its divine nature.
'The Holy Light...has fallen?'
This thought surged uncontrollably within the demon god's chaotic consciousness.
He longed to escape the abyss of defilement and yearned for the pure light of heaven, but the power displayed by this human priest before him was like a bucket of ice water poured on His ambition.
Where is the light of salvation? It is clearly another form of devouring, disguised in a cloak of holiness!
'Could it be... that my pursuit of heaven is wrong?'
The initial shock was replaced by an even more raging fury!
Regardless of whether the Holy Light has fallen, these humans and the female mage who is about to break through must not leave alive!
He has revealed his ability to project his will and control the demon army through the channel.
If these people were to return to the mainland with this message, His plans would face enormous uncertainties.
Especially that kid with the bizarre priest and strange slime, his potential is too dangerous!
"You lowly insects! You must die!" The Demon God's will, like a cold anvil, slammed into the very depths of the consciousness of every living demon. "Crush them! Regardless of the cost!"
Mark's tactics were highly effective, but the cost was equally high.
He swiftly grabbed and activated the scrolls, and the inventory within the Starlight Gap dwindled at a visible rate.
These healing scrolls were prepared by him for his squad to deal with a few powerful enemies in an emergency. Although the number was not small, he never expected that he would be able to deal with an almost endless abyss legion with the strength of just a few people in this way!
Ten minutes!
In just ten minutes of frenzied healing output, the healing scrolls in the Starry Rift were completely used up!
The areas on the battlefield that were cleared were instantly filled by the surging new, unmarked monsters coming from behind!
Treading on the ashes of their companions, and fueled by the rage of the demon god's will, they once again charged toward the crumbling defenses!
"Mmm—!"
Little Mu cried out anxiously, and its seven-colored light surged, instantly transforming into an angel with wings of light on its back.
Pure holy light healing rained down upon it, precisely covering the monsters charging at the forefront.
However, the results were completely different!
Without the blasphemous mark planted beforehand by [Divine Judgment], although Little M's healing spells still have a purifying and burning effect on these abyssal monsters, their lethality is far less than Mark's "healing equals instant kill" combo.
The demons only let out painful roars, their movements slowed slightly, and their demonic energy weakened, but they did not fall. Instead, they charged forward even more frantically, braving the scorching holy light!
Enzo's roar was tinged with a hoarseness, and the speed at which he swung the lava warhammer slowed down noticeably, while the light from the lava patterns became flickering.
Anna moved less frequently through the shadows, and each time she condensed a Demon-Slaying Arrow, it seemed more strenuous, and the arrow's power diminished.
Monica's number of Shadow Chains decreased sharply, and the light of Appraisal also dimmed considerably, barely enough to maintain interference with key targets.
Without the wide-range instant-kill effect created by the scroll, the team's own attacks and Xiao Mu's purification and healing were simply not enough to effectively stop the endless tide of monsters that had been enhanced by the demon god!
Mark's team's last line of defense, which they had been holding on desperately, was cracking and on the verge of collapse under the monsters' relentless onslaught.
The cold gaze of the demon god's will was like a sharp blade hanging overhead, ready to fall at any moment and deliver a fatal blow to them and Ellen, who was breaking through a critical juncture!
