Chapter 706: Chapter 193: Forbidden Curse Annihilates Corpses_2
Under the Pope’s command, the high-ranking priests took out their magic artifacts one by one. Xuan Ye and Xuan Yue, father and daughter, slowly floated into the air enveloped in a golden light. The Wrath of the Gods, and the Angel Wand were each lifted high above their heads. "Great Sky God! You possess boundless divine power. As your faithful followers, I implore you to bestow upon me the power of God." The father and daughter chanted in unison, and under their leadership, a thousand high-ranking priests chanted the same spell aloud. Suddenly, a pure white holy light emanated from the priests’ magic artifacts, continuously condensing around Xuan Ye and his daughter. A huge white six-pointed star magic array appeared, its diameter exceeding one hundred meters. The holy light illuminated the red figures of Xuan Ye and Xuan Yue, and the immense light elements summoned by the one thousand high-ranking priests were coalescing around them. Xuan Ye and his daughter exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with surging battle intent. This was the first time they had received such strong support. They believed that even if they cast a forbidden curse now, they could manage it. Their faces radiated an aura of sacred majesty as they chanted loudly, "To the ones who reject God’s Glory, I shall reclaim your lives, to those who reject God’s Dignity, I shall reclaim your souls, to those who reject God’s Creed, I shall reclaim your right to life. Divine Power! Rise. The great Sky God will punish the wicked, who blaspheme divine spirits, through me — Divine Judgment." As their incantation ended, the chanting of the high-ranking priests below became louder, infusing them with divine energy. Xuan Yue, brimming with confidence, glanced at her father and gave a slight nod. Xuan Ye lifted the Wrath of the Gods with both hands, feeling the enormous energy gathering around him. He bellowed, "Wrath of the Gods, lend me divine power, infuse it in my heart, eradicate the evil." The enormous white six-pointed star beneath his feet began to tremble. The massive energy was extremely unstable and fluctuated wildly, the golden aura radiating from the Wrath of the Gods suddenly flared up, spreading instantaneously to every part of the magic array. The white six-pointed star array was dyed golden, and with the saturation of the energy, a pillar of immense golden light shot up to the sky.
At the same time, the chanting of the numerous priests began and the zombies had already noticed their presence. The disappearance of the prior sinister energy had caused panic amongst the zombies. The sudden appearance of so many living beings, especially those brimming with a divine aura they despised, immediately triggered their ferocity. Tens of thousands of zombies hopped towards the crowd. Although their movements were slow, their jumping power was astounding, each jump covering a distance of at least ten meters. Within moments, they were within a 300-meter radius of the crowd. Larthas hesitated before commanding an attack. Under his lead, numerous Fire Mages launched a Firestorm. Although the attack of this spell was not very strong, the area it could cover was extensive. Under the influence of the large-scale fire energy, the zombies immediately howled in agony. However, Ah Dai’s judgment was correct. The defensive power of these zombies was far superior to the skeletons. When the flames touched their bodies, the green fluid on their bodies would turn into a green mist that enveloped them. Although the flames could still burn them, it could not eradicate them, only slow their progress. But that was good enough. The main attack against the zombies would come from the Divine Judgment of the Church. After the Fire Mages had managed to delay them, Divine Judgment was finally completed when the advancing zombies were about 100 meters from the crowd. The sky brightened, a large swathe of unprecedentedly thick cloud of light drifted over. Unlike the Divine Judgment Xuan Ye had previously used, this cloud of light was golden. The energy exuded by the sacred aura illuminated the earth. Feeling a clear connection with the cloud of light above, Xuan Yue swung the Angel Wand in her hand. From the sky, a line of golden lightning struck the group of zombies leading the charge. The defensive power of the zombies, no matter how strong, could not withstand such a powerful magic attack. Amid the loud noises, at least a thousand zombies turned to ash under this lightning strike. Simultaneously, when the lightning struck, it unavoidably pierced the green poisonous mist in the sky. Wherever the light of judgment passed, the green poisonous mist quickly disappeared. After this first wave of attack, the toxic mist appeared much thinner.
The Pope looked at the results in front him with satisfaction, smiled slightly and said, "The Divine Judgment collectively cast by everyone has nearly the power of a forbidden curse."
Yun Ying, Goshawk, and Harry had never seen such a powerful magic before. All three of them looked astonished. When the Light of Judgment struck just now, they all distinctly felt that even if it was them who faced such a powerful attack, they might not be able to withstand it. For the first time, the three Sword Saints deeply appreciated how powerful the strength of the Church was.
Xuan Ye held the Wrath of the Gods in both hands and continued to chant. The golden cloud in the sky looked even denser. Xuan Yue pointed her Angel Wand again, and with the brightness of the golden cloud suddenly increasing, a huge amount of lightning fell from the sky. For a moment, the entire Zombie Territory was like an exploding nest, rotten flesh and bones flying in all directions. Under the golden light, the filthy souls of the zombies were being constantly purified. The lightning of Divine Judgment seemed inexhaustible and showed no sign of stopping. Within the dazzling golden light, the number of zombies rapidly decreased. They were no longer attacking the crowd, and the remaining zombies huddled together, constantly releasing green mist to float in the sky in an attempt to block the lightning attacks. The toxic mist emitted by the zombies was indeed strong, with its corrosive power even able to corrode energy. However, the attack power of the Divine Judgment was simply too strong. Under the successive golden lights, the zombies had no other outcome, but to perish completely.
