2452 Success
“Chi, chi, chi…”
The blood screen was being seared by the Holy Light, emitting a continuous series of sizzling noises.
The Purifier gritted his teeth, staring intently at the blood screen. He poured all his energy into unleashing the divine light, trying to wear down the blood barrier.
What?!
Suddenly, the blood barrier exploded with a resounding boom!
Scattered blood formed dense lifeblood spikes that surged forward.
At the same time, many Lickers surged out from the castle entrance, rushing towards him.
“Holy Light, shine forever!”
The Purifier roared, pushing his holy power to its limits.
A concentrated burst of Holy Light erupted, and dark golden divine brand patterns appeared on the Purifier’s body, with waves expanding outward from him!
The dense lifeblood spikes dissolved in the expanding waves of Holy Light.
Suddenly, a gray figure leaped out from behind the lifeblood.
Hmm!
The Death God?!
A jolt of alarm struck the Purifier’s heart.
In the next moment, the Death God vanished from his sight.
“Whoosh!!”
The Purifier felt a chill on his back.
The Death God’s scythe swept forward.
“Bang!!!”
The Purifier’s outer barrier quivered violently.
“Fang Heng!”
Turning around, the Purifier saw the dense lifeblood spikes exploding continuously against the holy shield!
Amidst the relentless attacks, the Purifier couldn’t find a chance to mount an effective counterattack.
He realized with growing alarm that Fang Heng had completely locked him down, stripping him of any ability to take the offensive!
He had no choice but to passively follow Fang Heng’s assault rhythm, continuously being worn down.
It was a battle of attrition now.
The Purifier channeled his holy power in the Holy Realm, focusing all his energy.
He was determined to see how long Fang Heng could endure under the unceasing radiance of his Holy Light!
It would be a test of who would falter first—Fang Heng or himself.
Fang Heng, meanwhile, was pleasantly surprised at how well the combination of the Death God form and the vampires’ lifeblood attacks was working!
He decided to maintain the Death God form, applying relentless pressure!
As for the continuous searing effect of the Holy Light on his body, it was easily ignored thanks to his skill, Life Diversion, and the undead properties restoring his vitality!
Excitement gleamed in Fang Heng’s eyes.
Outlast him!
He was confident he couldn’t lose!
The battle dragged on for a full three minutes!
The Purifier was utterly stunned that Fang Heng could endure so long under the persistent Holy Light!
“Whoosh!!”
Fang Heng reappeared to the right of the Purifier with a flash of the Death God’s scythe skill, bringing his scythe down.
“Boom!!!!
The Purifier’s eyes widened with a trace of fear.
The holy shield surrounding him finally couldn’t withstand any longer and shattered with a resounding explosion!
“What!! It’s impossible!!!”
With the shield broken, the Purifier’s frail form under the Holy Realm was no match for a Death God’s strike.
Whoosh!
Fang Heng used the Death God’s scythe skill again, reappearing on the Purifier’s right side.
The Death God’s scythe swung forward.
“Whoosh!!”
A dark mark appeared on the Purifier’s neck, and his body was pierced by countless dense blood-red spears.
At the same time, Fang Heng shifted from the Death God form back to his normal state, his eyes turning black and white as he gazed upwards.
The Purifier’s soul was being enveloped by a holy shield of divine light, rapidly ascending into a dark golden space.
“Heh heh…”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Fang Heng’s mouth as he raised a hand towards the sky.
“Bang!!!”
The holy shield enveloping the Purifier’s soul abruptly shattered!
A white point appeared at the center of the soul body, quickly drawing the Purifier’s soul into it.
At the same time, several game notifications popped up.
[Hint: The player has guided a soul (S-level) under special conditions into the death realm, gaining commander-level Death God bloodline experience points +500,000.]
S-level!
Just as he had suspected, the Purifier’s strength had reached S-level in the game’s assessment.
It seemed that the KPI for this month would be fine.
Moreover, an S-level soul body was quite valuable, providing enough to earn 500,000 skill experience points!
Fang Heng licked his lips, contemplating that if he could capture even stronger souls, the increase in skill experience might be even greater.
With that thought, Fang Heng turned around and waved his hand towards the Purifier’s corpse.
[Hint: The player has obtained a Tier 3 brilliant crystal*1.]
Unfortunately, nothing else dropped besides the brilliant crystal.
A bit disappointing.
Fang Heng looked around and lightly raised his hand.
The Lickers in the fortress hall immediately dispersed to search for any remaining Holy Court forces within the Frost Fortress.
What had just occurred was merely an appetizer.
The main event was the Purifiers led by Karolina in the Holy Realm.
To ensure the plan went smoothly and to prevent any leaks, no one in this place could be left alive.
Heh heh…
The Holy Realm wanted to hunt him down?
Of course, they could try.
But they’d better be prepared to pay a hefty price and even face a counterattack!
Let’s go! Time to check things out.
Fang Heng transformed into the Death God form once again and made his way to the entrance of the Frost Fortress.
At this moment, the Holy Realm knights were surrounded by Lickers and continued to resist fiercely.
To maximize their combat effectiveness, City Lord Hornlow and his group had not joined the frontlines but were instead providing long-range support from behind, using arrows to wear down the outer shields of the remaining knight squad.
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang, however, fought valiantly, using the advantages of the Death God form to continually reap the lives of the Holy Realm knights.
“Fang Heng,” Hornlow noted as he saw Fang Heng retreating alone from the fortress. “How did it go with the Purifier? Do you need our help?”
“It’s all taken care of.”
Hornlow raised an eyebrow, his eyes reflecting a hint of surprise.
So fast?
In just a few months, Fang Heng’s strength had reached the point where he could easily eliminate a Purifier in one-on-one combat?
Hornlow immediately signaled his subordinates to enter the Frost Fortress to investigate.
“The fortress has long been tasked with guarding the Frost Hell. My ancestors established seven layers of sealing blocks deep within the shady line, gradually weakening the cold energy of the Frost Hell,” Hornlow explained.
“If all the seals were to be undone…”
Hornlow glanced at Fang Heng with some concern and said, “It might not only be the Holy Realm that would be unable to withstand the cold, but even we would struggle against its onslaught.”
“It’s fine. I can handle it.”
Since it needed to be done, Fang Heng decided to commit fully.
Moreover, with the imprint of Empress Persephone now in his sea of consciousness, his resistance to cold aura had significantly increased.
It was worth a try!
Even if he failed…
At worst, they would all perish together.
After all, he had the resurrection binding with Abe Akaya.
It was manageable.
As for the dropped items, they could be retrieved immediately upon resurrection.
As they spoke, several guards who had inspected the lower levels of the fortress hurried back and reported, “City Lord, we have checked. The sealing facilities below are intact and adjustments can be made to the seals.”
Fang Heng turned to Hornlow and said, “In that case, proceed as planned.”
Hornlow nodded decisively, “Understood.”
