[Vol. 5] Chapter 130: The Sky Sovereign
Understanding what the Saintess intended to express, Miss White Fox quickly offered so comforting words.
“Don’t worry, the central army camp is fine, at least for now. It shouldn’t beco a graveyard filled with corpses anyti soon. My companions are still there, and with their strength, setting up a barrier to hold off the threat for a while shouldn’t be a problem at all.”
Of course, Violet wasn’t going to tell Yuna the truth that she had already grasped the current situation at the rear through a contract link that her dragon had sent her imdiately.
Although the Saintess referred to the blood-red pillar of light shooting into the sky as the ?Blood of the Inverted Cross?, as if it were so kind of forbidden magic, it was clear that this power wasn’t aid at any specific target.
In essence, it didn’t even seem like an actual offensive ability. Instead, it appeared to be drawing sustenance from a wide area, like it was preparing to achieve so objective by siphoning blood.
Thus, even defenses deployed by soone at sky-level warrior could easily block this, unless they were weakened by the sudden failure of faith-based magic. If one reached a level beyond the superhuman, they could shield an area just like Yuna did, protecting a sizable region single-handedly.
So, not to ntion the dragon girl, even soone like Leila or Rene—especially the latter, with her transcendent abilities as a sky mage—could easily construct a similar barrier to temporarily protect the tens of thousands of Knight Templars who suddenly found their faith-based magic sealed.
Transcendent-level beings possess such incredible power.
In fact, under the priestess’ approval and instructions, the two winged sisters had already begun doing this. Moreover, the central army camp was filled with powerful individuals, and experts from the Spirit Veil rchant Guild, like the ?Reaper’s Scythe?, were unlikely to stand idly by.
As for the rear guard and supply troops, located much farther away, judging from where the blood threads stretching into the sky appeared, at least for now, the effect didn’t seem to be spreading to their position, still dozens of kiloters away from the St. Bergen Mountains.
The blood-red hue seed to fill the sky, but the actual range of its influence was clearly not as vast as it appeared.
Upon hearing Miss White Fox’s reassurance, Yuna, who seed to trust her deeply, visibly relaxed as the weight of worry on her face lifted sowhat. She looked around once more, observing the situation.
“So, Miss Dawn, what do you think we should do now?”
“Hmm… if you ask , the key still lies in the magic that governs this area.”
Violet could tell that Yuna was actually extrely anxious inside.
It was evident that the longer this blood-red sky persisted, the more countless citizens of the Holy Empire would die as their blood was drained. Even if they tried to flee, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to outrun the spread of the magic.
Not to ntion that most people within the range of the ?Blood of the Inverted Cross? had already temporarily lost their faith-based magic, which they relied on.
The priestess also wished to save lives, but she wasn’t about to lose her composure due to the urgency of the situation, nor would she make any rash or irrational decisions.
Judging by the intensity of the energy, this magic… might be close to or even at the level of a 10th-tier domain, known as a ?Forbidden Spell?.
Of course, if they truly wanted to stop the spread of this blood magic imdiately and prevent further casualties, Violet could, without considering the consequences, choose to summon her ‘Radiant Divine Realm’, directly overwriting the area with its more domineering effects, erasing the blood magic completely.
While Forbidden Spells are indeed powerful, based on the priestess’ past experience, in terms of sheer “priority”, the domain of a deity would still surpass it.
Noticing the troubled look on the Saintess’s face, Violet didn’t try to take advantage of the situation at this critical mont, but instead said directly.
“Yuna, you should be familiar with this magic, right? But ti is short, so there’s no need for you to explain it in detail. Just tell … how can we break or dispel it?”
The expression of the blonde girl, lost in thought, froze for a mont, and then she looked surprised.
“…Miss Dawn? You’re not planning to go alone, are you…?”
Without hesitation, the shrine maiden wearing the white fox mask nodded. No one could see her true expression behind the mask, but they heard the girl speak.
“Do you have a better plan right now? Besides, I’m not planning to go alone.”
As if to confirm her words…
A mythical shadow swept majestically across the blood-red sky!
“Whoosh~~~!”
The storm and fierce winds that followed seed to be nothing more than sparks cast off by its arrival.
It was a being that existed only in imagination and ancient tis—the ruler of the skies.
Spreading her wings, she embodied the thunder and hurricanes, her streamlined body encased in platinum scales, perfectly blending power and grace.
Her proud golden eyes scanned the countless ants below who were panicking, shocked, or trembling in fear at her presence. She let out a thunderous roar that shook the blood-stained heavens, echoing to the peak of St. Bergen Mountain!
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!”
The knights, who had just finished regrouping and were assessing their casualties, were once again plunged into a wave of astonishnt and awe.
“The sky! Look at the sky!!!”
“A dragon! Is that a dragon!? My goddess, it’s a real dragon!!!”
“Praise the goddess! This… this is the legendary Holy White Dragon, symbol of light and hope! The goddess has manifested! The goddess has manifested! Praise the goddess!!!!!”
This isn’t a mistranslation.
Those knights called it the ‘Holy White Dragon’
(????): Holy White Dragon.
Xiao Guang herself is the Holy Crystal Dragon, a hybrid of a pure-blood Holy Dragon and a pure-blood Crystal Dragon.
