Catastrophe Ringworm touched their skin, decayed their bodies, corrupted all their Magic Circuits, and ultimately killed their souls; Bone Fortress was now truly aptly named, filled with corpses everywhere, the rotting and collapsing bodies of Esoteric Sect Followers piled up in mountains, covered in white hair, reeking terribly.
The Esoteric Sect Followers, who had once poisoned over a million humans, had never dreamed that they would meet such a fate, killed by their own methods.
By the time the last wisp of the yellow wind had dissipated, most of the Esoteric Sect Followers in Bone Fortress had been poisoned by An Su, and the soldiers at the front had all fallen. The Priests of Life, observing the tragic scene below, wondered how they would explain this to the Witch Your Majesty.
[Current score: six points]
[Time remaining until dawn: fifty minutes]
[Second Tier Attack has ended]
[Third Tier Attack, coming in twenty minutes]
The yellow wind had cleared, leaving only the remnants of a faint moon. The moonlight was very dim, now just a shallow frost brushed at the border between the mountains and the sky, while a warm circle of light loomed on the plains to the east, the vague hint of dawn’s first light soon to arise.
Maintaining the form of the Dawn Giant and having summoned so many undead, An Su was tired, and the Radiant Light was insufficient; the Magic Value was about twenty or so remaining.
He temporarily recalled the Dawn Giant, returning to his original form, planning to replenish his magic at the Dawn Cathedral; the sudden disappearance of the Dawn Giant caused Luo Xiaohei, who had been sitting on his shoulder, to fall from the sky with a smack, confusedly crashing to the ground. She rubbed her sore cat butt and glared reproachfully at An Su.
"I need to rest for a while," An Su said to her, his gaze slightly weary, "to recover Magic Power and replenish Holy Light."
The spring was conveniently nearby. With sufficient Magic Power and Holy Light, he could summon more undead to continue with the upcoming assault.
Luo Xiaohei, dissatisfied, flicked her tail and huffily jumped onto An Su’s shoulder, inwardly vowing never to send him back after he died...
An Su turned around and walked toward the door of the Dawn Cathedral, gently pushing it...
It wouldn’t budge.

It was as if there was a barrier obstructing him from the interior of the Holy Hall.
This is also an Air Wall...no, this isn’t an Air Wall.
A faint layer of Radiance flowed around the exterior of the Dawn Cathedral, blocking An Su from entering.
This was Cersei’s doing. She had left a little present for An Su.
He didn’t know when she had done it, perhaps it was after killing the real Dawn Saintess, but before cooperating with An Su, she had laid a hidden barrier outside the door of the Dawn Cathedral... using the Dawn Saintess’s authority, she had created a Saint Rank barrier, blocking An Su from entering.
’Mr. An Su, I am currently at the most critical moment of my prayer ritual, unable to move, and I cannot afford even the slightest distraction—’
’So please don’t come in for now.’
’May the Dawn’s Light be with you, Chenxing Your Majesty.’
The voice of Princess Cersei rose in An Su’s heart.
Indeed, during the final moments of the Dawn Ceremony, one must focus solely and undisturbed, or else backlash would occur.
The Holy Light Barrier was very sturdy, and with his current Magic Power, An Su could not immediately break it; and the words Cersei spoke, An Su scoffed at, her justification sounded logical and noble, but in reality, it was meant to keep An Su outside the sanctum, preventing him from replenishing his Magic Power, draining his spirit.
A more important purpose was to keep guards up; to prevent An Su from attacking the Princess inside the cathedral, they did not trust each other, or rather, they trusted each other too much, both firmly believing the other harbored malice.
"Meow! Meow!" Luo Xiaohei gesticulated wildly on An Su’s shoulder, the Holy Chaotic Saintess saying never trust that bitch!
Luo Xiaohei cat stood up, hands on hips, stepping on the shoulder, tail swaying back and forth, mouthing all sorts of vulgar curses.
In Elf’s view, Cersei was just that hypocritical, spouting about the glory of dawn and holy light, but it was all for her personal gain, this facade disguised as justice was what the Chaotic Saintess found most tiresome, even instinctively repulsive.
But she didn’t notice that An Su did not show any signs of disappointment or despair.
On the contrary, the weariness in his eyes had disappeared; his pale blue eyes sparkled with excitement, his lips curled into a smile, the real play had finally begun. He even felt relieved, because it was more troubling when the Princess didn’t cause trouble; now that she finally had, An Su felt at ease. Explore stories at Freewebnovel
From the start, An Su knew, the opponent in this room wasn’t just Merlin’s Esoteric Sect Followers, but the Princess as well.
Otherwise, the room rules wouldn’t specify [Due to the low difficulty of this room, allies are set]!
It’s you who started it... An Su smiled as he looked at the tightly closed door ahead, his smile growing purer, this is self-defense.
She wasn’t the only one who left little presents!
