Chapter 137: The Power of Holy Light Grenade 1.0
They saw the city walls of Lemon Port covered in mucus.
Together with the vast clusters of buildings behind them, they heaved violently like living creatures!
Imdiately after—
Under countless terrified gazes—
The entire land-facing side of the harbor burst open like a breached floodgate, spewing out an endless tide of black!
It was the Insect Tide!
An Insect Tide never seen before!
No longer the small detachnts of hundreds or thousands from before, but a true, full-scale swarm pouring out of its nest!
Dense masses of Black Insects crushed and piled atop one another, forming horrifying waves several ters high.
Their shrieks rged into a piercing howl that tore at the eardrums.
Like a tide of death, it swept toward the rcenaries in the Hilly Area!
Within the swarm—
One could also see a large number of especially massive elite Black Insects.
Their strength reached Third-tier! Even Fourth-tier!
“It’s over… Th-this… how are we supposed to fight this?”
A rcenary who had just monts ago been complaining about not receiving a grenade now found his legs going weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.
The camp of more than two thousand rcenaries, before this overwhelming Insect Tide—
Was like a sandcastle in a gale, instantly thrown into enormous panic and chaos!
“Form ranks! Form ranks now!”
Avril roared herself hoarse, her violet hair flying as her gaze sharpened like a blade.
“All teams with Holy Light Grenades, listen to my command!”
“When the swarm enters range, throw them all at once!”
Amid the chaos, Avril’s command was undoubtedly a guiding light.
The rcenaries, who had nearly lost their senses, quickly reacted.
Their only hope now lay in whether the Holy Light Grenade truly had a miraculous effect against the Black Insects!
Otherwise, even if they tried to flee—
In this situation of bodies pressed against bodies, there would only be a dead end…
Years spent wandering on the edge between life and death had given these mud-legged n hearts far stronger than ordinary people.
The rcenary captains holding grenades clenched their teeth and stepped to the very front of their brothers.
Facing the incomparably terrifying Insect Tide head-on!
When the swarm was no more than several dozen ters away—
Avril roared, “Together… throw!”
The crudely shaped oval iron lumps were hurled high into the air at that mont.
They traced arcs—so smooth, so twisted—
Before landing in unison throughout the swarm.
No detonation device was required.
The 【Holy Light Grenade 1.0】, imbued with the power of Holy Light, contained an ergency trigger within.
The mont it touched an evil undead being, it would detonate automatically without rcy!
Thus—
A wondrous tableau blossod before everyone’s eyes.
Upon the dark canvas—like an oil painting made of piled black stones—
Blooms of pure white flowers burst open one after another.
Like the most dazzling and intense contrasting color in the world!
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~~
Deep and resonant sacred notes thundered forth from every explosion of a Holy Light Grenade.
They ford a soul-stirring, magnificent symphony.
It was no longer individual Black Insects dissolving within the Holy Light—
But swath after swath of Black Insects dying!
The strangest part—
Though it was clearly the First-tier Black Insects at the front that were struck by the Holy Light Grenades—
The Third-tier and Fourth-tier Black Insects in the rear also exhibited extre agony.
As if so invisible great force had transferred the grenade’s damage onto them as well.
Once or twice might not be fatal.
But after twenty or thirty stacks—
Even ordinary injuries were more than enough to cause death!!
“What?!”
“In an instant, you destroyed thousands of my Heart-Eroding Leeches? Even dozens of mid-tier individuals?!”
lunus stared at the unbelievable scene below.
He was completely dumbfounded.
His enormous corrupted eye stread copious amounts of pus in disbelief.
What had been a crushing, guaranteed victory—
Had been reversed in a single instant?
Wogak and Sylph also revealed expressions of shock.
Since when had those foolish humans gained the ability to develop such terrifying one-ti-use weapons?
These weapons might not pose much threat to high-tier individuals like them—
But against the Undead Legion beneath them, they were undoubtedly a powerful killing tool!
They would greatly increase the cost of capturing human towns and beginning bloody feasts!
Even Lassalle felt a slight jolt in his heart.
His vision was sharper, his observation more acute.
He imdiately caught that subtle thod of damage specifically targeting the rear brood mothers.
“It’s… it’s source-tracing strike… How is that possible?!”
“That is a special attack thod only the Demon Gods could possibly achieve!”
“N-no.”
“It’s not that outrageous.”
“This weapon only tracked the next-level target. It did not lock onto the final source.”
“Otherwise, the damage would have landed on that lump of rotten flesh beside us…”
Lassalle silently exhaled in relief.
He overturned his own guess in the next mont.
He concluded it was rely a thod similar to the Law of Curse.
After all, a curse could also travel great distances, using an item carried by the target—or even a strand of hair—to inflict harm.
It bore striking similarity to the current situation.
Yet little did they know—
This was precisely the outco soone had deliberately sought to achieve.
Just perfect.
The collective detonation of more than two hundred 【Holy Light Grenade 1.0】—
Forced even the originally tense battlefield into a montary standstill.
All the rcenaries stood frozen in place, eyes wide in shock.
They could never have imagined that sothing the size of a palm could create such an astonishing scene!
Many of the rcenary captains responsible for throwing them suddenly clutched their chests.
Their hearts ached terribly!
They had just thrown away a priceless treasure!
But it was precisely because of the Holy Light Grenades that they had reversed the situation and gained a sliver of hope—so it could not truly be called a waste.
In truth—
Even Ulf, who had delivered the shipnt, had not expected the prototype developed by his own people to produce such terrifying effects.
After the shock ca imnse excitent!
Holy Light Town had finally gained a truly large-scale combat force in the real sense!
