“For honor!” Cedric and the knights drew their swords.
“Elder, I’ll leave Ambrose to you. The other thirteen Anchorites will be handled by the Thirteen Vampire Princes. Any issues?” Leo asked calmly.
“No, my lord,” Essex and the Thirteen Vampire Princes replied confidently.
“As for the knights, the orc commander and the high priest will take care of them.”
“Understood, my lord. It’s our honor!”
“The rest of you, stay on the sidelines and make sure no one escapes,” Leo instructed the eighteen dark descendants around him.
“Yes, my lord!” The eighteen descendants spread out, their eyes full of menace.
Leo downed his drink and looked proudly at Cedric. “Cedric, your opponent is me!”
Cedric knew this was going to be a tough day. From the moment he saw Leo, he sensed trouble.
The Anchorites wouldn’t stand a chance against Essex and the Thirteen Vampire Princes.
The knights couldn’t defeat the fifteen White Robe Archpriests and the orc commander.
Cedric tried to stay calm, resolutely quoting, “The Lord said, even if we bleed and sacrifice, the gates of heaven will open for us.”
“Amen!” The knights and Anchorites solemnly prayed together.
At the mountaintop, three battle zones had formed.
Cedric faced off against Leo.
The Anchorites battled Essex and the Thirteen Vampire Princes.
The knights fought against the White Robe Archpriests and the orc commander.
Surrounding them were the eighteen elite dark descendants.
“Cedric, I heard you regained the King’s Blade. Don’t disappoint me today.”
Cedric gritted his teeth. “Today, I’ll send you to hell, even if it costs me my life.”
Leo laughed heartily. “Enough talk. Let’s see what you’ve got!”
With a roar, Leo summoned a talisman, transforming into a raging red light that shot into the sky.
Cedric also roared, enveloped in a powerful Holy Light, like lightning piercing the heavens.
They stood in mid-air, their faces terrifyingly serious.
Cedric struck first, raising the King’s Blade.
A massive, holy beam of light shot from the blade into the sky.
The beam was so bright and powerful it seemed divine, making everything else pale in comparison.
Cedric then shouted and swung the giant beam downwards.
The enormous beam slashed down with thunderous force, radiating brilliance and exerting immense pressure that made it hard for Leo to breathe.
Leo swung his Dragon Sword diagonally, its blade emitting countless fiery meteors that converged into a stunning torrent, fiercely meeting the beam.
The clash exploded in mid-air, followed by continuous violent blasts.
Leo and Cedric were thrown back by the shockwave, flying like arrows through the air.
After retreating over a hundred meters, they finally steadied themselves, coldly staring at each other.
Meanwhile, the battle between the wizards, orcs, and knights raged on.
Eight White Robe Archpriests launched their attack together.
A massive black fog swept out like a roaring dragon, stirring up wind and dust as it engulfed the knights.
Wherever the fog passed, ice covered the ground, and life ceased.
Then came the orcs’ combined attack.
The ground suddenly sank and trembled violently, with thousands of electric sparks striking at the knights like venomous snakes.
Wherever the sparks touched, scorched earth remained, with smoke rising like mist.
Six knights raised their cross swords high, emitting countless blinding Holy Lights that no one could look directly at.
The Holy Lights pierced into the evil fog like sharp swords, bursting into brilliant fireworks.
The fog trembled violently before exploding into fragments and quickly disappearing.
At that moment, the electric sparks rushed in like thousands of venomous snakes skimming the ground.
The Holy Light’s power had been weakened by the fog and couldn’t resist the sparks.
The Holy Light scattered upon contact with the sparks, and amidst chaotic lights, six knights were engulfed with screams of agony.
Amidst flying dust, six knights fell hard to the ground, each spitting blood.
Clearly, the knights were no match for the wizards and orcs.
On another front, Essex calmly observed the fourteen Anchorites before him. “Old friends, it’s been a while.”
“Yes, hopefully never again,” Ambrose replied calmly.
“Indeed, you won’t escape death tonight,” Essex said coldly.
“The Lord will not abandon His faithful followers.”
“Stop comforting yourselves; it’s useless,” Prince Fred sneered.
Prince Cody added coldly, “Elder, let’s get started!”
Essex nodded coldly. “Ambrose, let’s earn our honor through battle.”
“Indeed,” Ambrose waved his hand, forming a strange formation with the fourteen Anchorites.
“Starry Sky Array!” Essex was slightly surprised.
“Yes, it’s the Starry Sky Array!” Ambrose said devoutly. “It represents dedication and sacrifice, awakening everyone’s potential to face powerful enemies.”
Essex snorted and raised his staff.
Two eerie snake eyes on his staff emitted two strange blood lights that turned into a fierce blood wind.
The blood wind howled mournfully as if countless sharp blades clashed within it.
Seeing Essex attack, the Thirteen Vampire Princes also struck immediately.
Fred unleashed corpse hands that turned into countless blood arrows covering the sky.
A fierce axe blade appeared in mid-air-this was the power of Executioner’s Axe.
Spirit Wand’s versatile power manifested as countless blood light demons shrieking and roaring.
For a moment, powerful evil forces occupied different positions, ready to overwhelm the Anchorites with unstoppable might.
Ambrose’s face changed as he waved his right hand.
The fourteen Anchorites chanted loudly, “Almighty Lord, we pray to You with devotion. We fight for You with our lives. Grant us Your holy power!”
Fourteen powerful Holy Lights shot from the Anchorites into the sky, converging instantly.
After converging at one point, they exploded into a huge light screen connecting heaven and earth.
Within the light screen, a pair of enormous white wings spread open.
In the serene Holy Light, the wings appeared incredibly beautiful, powerful, and sacred as if no evil force could withstand their presence.
Both sides roared simultaneously, directing their powers to clash with each other.
