Chapter 598 The Smite
Vice Commander Laura stood on the deck of the Airship, observing the ongoing battle.
At this time, the possessed Shamans had already been immobilized, but the Shadow Wraiths continued to pose a threat to the knights due to their immunity to physical attacks.
Only through the use of their Magic-Empowered Sword Technique were they able to inflict any damage upon the wraiths. Unfortunately, even hitting their target was difficult. The wraiths' movement was difficult to predict, and they were using the shadows or darkness to their advantage.
'I didn't expect that these high-level Shadow Wraiths would cause us so much trouble.' Laura said in her mind as she initially thought that these wraiths wouldn't pose much trouble.
Nevertheless, despite the circumstances, Commander Laura chose not to deploy her Sovereign Artifact; it was her left red glove adorned with layers of magic circles. She intended to use it later when facing a formidable adversary from the castle.
"This should be enough for the wraiths…" Laura muttered as she opened her Grimoire and summoned her allies.
"Come forth... Harpy Queen!"
At her command, the imposing figure of the Harpy Queen materialized before her.
With her wingspan stretching wide and her talons gleaming in the sunlight, the Harpy Queen exuded an aura of raw power and regal authority.
Her feathers shimmered with a blend of iridescent blues and purples, and her eyes glowed with an intense, piercing gaze that struck fear into the hearts of the knights and even the Shadow Wraiths!
Eeeeekk~
With a deafening screech, the Harpy Queen launched herself into the fray, swooping down upon the remaining Shadow Wraiths.
With each powerful flap of her wings, she unleashed gusts of wind that disrupted the wraiths' ethereal forms, causing them to dissipate into nothingness.
The knights were shocked as they didn't expect their Vice Commander to have such a powerful summon!
"Haha! Take that!"
"Go kill them all, Harpy!"
"Just a gust of wind, and they're dead?! Awesome!"
"It must be a Harpy Queen! Look at that size!"
The knights remarked after seeing the Harpy Queen eliminate the wraiths.
It didn't end there as the Harpy soared through the battlefield, her razor-sharp talons slashed through the remaining wraiths with incredible precision, leaving no trace of their existence behind.
The once troublesome Spirits were swiftly eliminated by the Harpy Queen's relentless onslaught, clearing the way for the knights and shaman to disembark swiftly and charge to the castle!
However, as Vice Commander Laura issued the command for the troops to disembark and join the siege of the castle, a sudden and inexplicable phenomenon unfolded.
The surrounding Arcane Energy surged into chaos, and in the blink of an eye, a hair-raising crack tore through the fabric of space above the Airship's deck.
"Space distortion?!" Laura was shocked as she knew what was going on. An Arcanist capable of controlling space had arrived! This was out of her expectation!
She couldn't help but hold her left red glove tightly since once she felt that everyone's life was in danger, she had to activate it in time!
Then, the crack expanded with alarming speed, creating an opening large enough for a person to step through.
Commander Gram and the others on the bridge were also caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events. They could only watch in silence as a blindfolded figure emerged from the breach.
With a resounding thud, the man descended onto the Airship's deck, and just as suddenly as it had appeared, the spatial rupture vanished, leaving the crew bewildered and on edge in the wake of the enigmatic arrival.
"Vice Commander… Who is that person?" One of the knights asked in worry. Anyone capable of rupturing the space should not be underestimated.
The air grew heavy with an uneasy tension as all eyes turned to Vice Commander Laura, seeking explanation in the face of this unanticipated intrusion.
Laura narrowed her eyes, unable to discern the identity of the mysterious blindfolded figure who had materialized before them.
She ignored that gaze on her and spoke calmly.
"Who are you? Are you the owner of this castle?" Laura inquired, sensing that the man didn't come here with good intentions.
The figure's response was stern.
"Yes... You suddenly attacked us without any warnings..."
"But that's---"Before Laura could offer an explanation and attempt to secretly establish communication with the ship's captain, she was abruptly cut off by the imposing figure.
"I don't care about the reason you attacked us. Since you've done so without my permission, then expect our retaliation."
The declaration woke everyone from their stupor as they held their weapons tightly.
Then, without wasting any more time, the enigmatic figure flicked his finger, unleashing a potent and radiant Holy Spell that descended upon their Airship with incredible force.
The very air was filled with sacred energy as the spell took shape, culminating in a blinding cascade of light and power that enveloped the entire vessel!
The Holy Smite manifested as a brilliant torrent of golden radiance, cascading from the heavens with an awe-inspiring intensity.
Indeed, Vale didn't just use his Force to cast the spell but imbued it with 5 points of Divinity! The Holy Smite that should only target a small area had now expanded to cover a whole vessel!
As it descended upon the Airship, its resplendent glow suffused every inch of the deck, bathing the entire vessel in a luminous, ethereal brilliance.
Boom!
The Holy Smite's impact reverberated throughout the Airship, imbuing the atmosphere with a sense of sacred awe and reverence.
The crew, caught off guard by the sudden onslaught of sacred energy, could only watch in astonishment as the radiant brilliance of the spell covered their bodies!
They tried circulating their Arcane Heart to defend against this attack, but in the end, the Holy Smite bore through their armors, passed through their Arcane Defense, and hit their internal organs!
It became undeniably clear that they were facing a formidable practitioner of Holy Arts, one whose mastery of holy arts rivaled that of an Archbishop, if not surpassed it.
Luckily, the Holy Smite's effect was greatly lessened since none of them used Dark or Evil Energy!
However, it didn't change the fact their Spell Models were in a mess! Holy Energy entered their bodies, and casting spells would make the matter worse!
