Chapter 204: Chapter 101 Forbidden! Light’s Praise_2

In the depths of the Thorns Canyon, the shock brought by the Elements Tide began to subside, and the ice wall melted along with it. Twelve wraith knights, clad in ice armor, strode out followed by six great sorcery demons, wreathed in a halo of dark red light.

The overwhelming aura of eighteen powerful wraiths combined was like a raging storm, swiftly barrelling down towards the mouth of the valley.

Behind them, the wraith legion mobilized once again, driving towards the other side of the canyon.

Covered in a halo of white light, Ling Menglu might have worn a gentle smile in her last moments before departure, but to the students of Spirit Furnace Academy, it was a symbol of tragic heroism. She was leaving, undoubtedly to cast a powerful spell on par with the Elements Saintess’s Elements Tide. Yet, the price was herself.

"Bro, will it hurt a lot?" Long Kongkong asked Long Dangdang by his side.

Long Dangdang responded indifferently, "It’s definitely not going to be pleasant. I just hope it’s quick; better if it passes in an instant."

Long Kongkong chuckled, "Is this a test for you? You’ve weathered the side effects of the Divine Prayers Angel. What are you afraid of now?"

Long Dangdang said, "Ah... women. They really are terrifying when they go crazy."

At the same moment, both of them felt a strong premonition in their hearts.

The sound was as pleasant as it were pouring down from the sky, clearly resonating in everyone’s minds, including the magic professionals of the Spirit Furnace platoon who were on their way back.

"Great God of Luminosity! I am willing to offer my life and my soul in sacrifice for your endless illumination of the world. Forbid—Light’s—Praise—!"

Dawn broke. At this moment, the entire sky burst into brilliant light, and radiating beams of golden light cascaded from the heavens, converging in a single direction."

Looking from a distance, Cai Caijuan on the White Phoenix was completely stunned.

A forbidden spell, she actually used a forbidden spell.

Even if it’s not a complete forbidden spell in the truest sense, it is undoubtedly the most resolute skill in the Priest lineage.

Legend has it that when a 9th Rank priest casts this spell, it turns night into day and brings Luminosity to the world. But the cost is inevitably one’s life and soul.

Ling Menglu, a 5th Rank who used this forbidden spell did so by virtue of her innate spiritual power exceeding ninety points and forced it with the physical constitution of the prodigy of Luminosity. Although its might couldn’t compare to the genuine forbidden spell, it was still undoubtedly the power of a forbidden spell! Casting higher-rank forbidden spell with lower rank has the potential to exceed one’s power by three ranks. However, the price to pay was complete spiritual disintegration!

From the moment the forbidden spell began, she didn’t leave herself any alternatives. She has given everything she possessed for the miracle of the Luminous God.

"A forbidden spell, isn’t this a rather big gamble?" This was Long Kongkong’s last sentence. Because in the next moment, not only was everything in the canyon obliterated by the horrifying forbidden spell that was undoubtedly beyond 8th Rank, but he and Long Dangdang at the mouth of the canyon too. Or rather, the moment the forbidden spell exploded, their bodies, connected to Ling Menglu through the spirit furnace, became the sacrificial offerings to the Luminous God.

The entire Thorns Canyon had completely turned into a radiant sea of white. The white flames devoured the entire valley, spreading further and farther away.

What everyone saw was that Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong standing at the entrance of the canyon also burst into flames, becoming part of the white flame. Yet strangely, the white flame did not extend half a bit towards the human warriors.

In the sky, more and more golden light columns appeared, the original gloom disappeared, and the brilliant golden light seemed to reflect everything around it into gold.

Cai Caijuan opened her mouth slightly. This was the first time she had witnessed forbidden spell in her life. Ling Menglu was at 5th Rank, five plus three. The forbidden spell she used should have been 8th Rank. However, the dazzling glow before her eyes and the canyon which was getting larger within the white flames, was this really a feat an 8th Rank forbidden spell could achieve?

Tang Leiguang’s eyes were equally filled with shock at this moment. The tender smile on Ling Menglu’s pretty face before she flew out deeply branded itself in the depths of his mind.

Everything happened far too quickly, too swiftly. In this instant, he felt a piercing agony in his heart. It was as if he had lost something extremely important.

The others were also standing in a daze on the spot, even the magic professionals who were already retreating had stopped in their tracks. They all turned towards the direction of Thorns Canyon, the light reflected in every person’s eyes. Their hearts, however, were filled with indescribable excitement.

Who was the first one to shed tears, no one knew. But each of their fists were tightly clenched.

The word "sacrifice" was easy to say, a part of the knights’ ten principles. But how many could actually make sacrifices for others?

Some who could think rationally understood that the forbidden spell they saw was not powered solely by Ling Menglu. Her power alone wasn’t enough to create such a potent forbidden spell. Its power was linked to the two brothers who also turned into sacred flames at the mouth of the canyon.

By sacrificing their lives, the three of them had secured the safety of all. Faced with such a terrifying forbidden spell, the once-powerful wraith entities stood no chance of survival.

They paid the price of their lives, to complete a mission that seemed impossible to finish.

Tang Leiguang took a deep breath, his estoc planted on the ground. His right hand held the hilt while he sunk to one knee, facing the Thorns Canyon which had expanded tenfold.

One by one, the knights and warriors around him did the same, kneeling on one knee as their right fists rested on their chests.

The magic professionals who were far off looked at this, making the same move unanimously.

Cai Caijuan held Zisang Liuying in her arms, teaching him to do the same.

"Zisang, we lost again, didn’t we? You know, I’m kind of regretting not choosing her back then. I just don’t know if I would have had to sacrifice myself too if she were my teammate. I’m a little afraid of dying, that’s why I said those things about her. Do you think I’m shameless? Blaming her for being scared when I was the one who’s cowardly. I really loathe myself right now." She murmured to herself, but uncontrollable tears kept falling, landing on Zisang Liuying in her arms.

At this moment, Thorns Canyon had turned into Thorns Basin. The golden light columns in the sky slowly disappeared but the original gloom was long gone. The sun’s radiance replaced the gloom, bringing light to the earth. In the canyon, there was no existence left, everything was gone, as if it were teleported away, leaving only emptiness.

The spirit furnace platoon had successfully defended Jingmen Village for five hours. With the elimination of all the wraith entities, the mission was declared complete.
