[Vol. 5] Chapter 216: This is the World of the Strong
“Resurrection magic?”
Hearing these words, Miss Holy Knight looked slightly surprised at the White Fox girl. She then lowered her voice a bit more, cautiously responding.
“I wasn’t very familiar with it before, but ever since I got the position of Acting Leader of the ?Scales of Judgnt?, and gained access to deeper intelligence and secrets… I’ve co to understand a bit more.”
“Rather than saying the Redemption Saintess can use resurrection magic, a more accurate description would be… it’s actually a miracle granted by one of the three Holy Artifacts of Light, the ?Ring of Salvation?.”
“Reviving the dead belongs to the domain of the gods and true laws of the world. The complex principles involved are still difficult for scholars to fully analyze. Even though we are now capable of casting high-level magic through combined chanting or supporting magic circles and reaching up to the sixth or even seventh tier. We are still unable to achieve true resurrection.”
“But the ?Ring of Salvation? is different. It’s said to contain a portion of divine power, allowing it to communicate with the river of life and death, creating the miracle of reviving the dead.”
At this point, Miss Holy Knight seed to recall sothing and abruptly changed her tone.
“Ah, but it’s not without a price. I’ve heard that the ?Ring of Salvation? is quite unique. To activate it, it requires the consumption of certain… well, invisible and intangible energy. And among its uses, ‘resurrection magic’ demands the most.”
“The cost is so great that even the Redemption Saintess is reluctant to use it lightly. So, while resurrection magic is theoretically possible, it is very rarely employed. At least, up to now, I’ve never personally witnessed… that kind of miracle perford by a mortal.”
“…I see.”
After listening to Miss Holy Knight’s explanation, the White Fox girl fell silent again, seemingly lost in thought for a long ti.
Then, she suddenly spoke again.
“Edwina, do you still have the item I gave you before we left the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain?”
The blonde girl was montarily stunned, but quickly understood.
“Oh, you’re referring to Miss Eilush… of course, I’ve kept it with all this ti.”
“That’s good. I have a suggestion regarding the next strategic move. Would you be interested?”
“Please, go ahead!”
Seeing Miss Holy Knight suddenly looking expectant, Violet didn’t hesitate and directly shared her judgnt based on her observations, as well as a plan she had been vaguely considering.
“Your ultimate goal, at least for now, should be to weaken the demons’ forces as much as possible in this battle using Sacchino City as a base, and force them to retreat. Then, you can retake the Angel City and regain the upper hand, right?”
Edwina nodded without hesitation.
“Exactly. Although we haven’t yet figured out the demons’ specific strategy, they clearly intend to conquer the entire Fulan Province. Only by reclaiming the Angel City and securing that critical location can we have any hope of launching a counterattack, just like in the previous three Holy Wars, where we gradually drove them back to their realm.”
“Snap~”
Miss White Fox cheerfully snapped her fingers, as if Edwina’s words aligned perfectly with her own thinking.
“Exactly! Since your main objective is the Angel City, why bother making a big effort to co back here afterward? In my opinion, you should take those elite forces and launch a surprise attack eastward on the Angel City. Even if you can’t capture it, you’ll catch the enemy off guard and force them to spread their forces thin… This strategy is called ‘Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao’.”
“Uh… ‘Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao’? Could you explain that in more detail?”
