Chapter 48 The war is over!
Beneath the walls of Blackrock Town.
With the aid of the verdant forest, the defenses of the supreme God's army crumbled.
Under the double blessing of Sister Sharon's group blessing and the bard's heroic spirit.
Chieftain Wies, along with the villagers of Blackrock Town, managed to trap the goblin army outside the walls.
Meanwhile, on Richard's side...
The gigantic form of the giant was like a moving hill on the scorched earth battlefield, and every charge sent the gray dwarf army crashing down.
Wherever the enormous fist swung, armor shattered and flesh flew everywhere.
But Visera always lingered on the edge of the battlefield like a ghost.
This experienced Drow Oathbreaker knew all too well the effects of Giant Growth.
Strength surges, but agility decreases.
Therefore, she did not choose to confront Richard head-on, but instead moved like a venomous snake, constantly dodging and creating distance.
Visera's crimson eyes flashed with cold calculation.
"His death will come when his spell ends."
Richard roared, his massive body charging through the gray dwarf army like a raging beast!
But Visera maintained a safe distance, her crimson pupils fixed on Richard's every move, like a hunter waiting for its prey to make a mistake.
Time passed by, second by second.
Just as the giantification spell was about to run out, Richard's movements began to show a slight lag.
Visera seized the opportunity.
Her scarlet pupils suddenly flashed with a dark purple, sinister light, and she abruptly raised her left hand, her fingers loosely clenched, aiming at Richard.
"The Blessing of the Supreme God: Mind Control!"
Om-!
An invisible but extremely powerful spiritual energy surged into Richard's mind like a tidal wave!
That wasn't an ordinary control spell.
Rather, it is the blasphemous spiritual energy bestowed upon those with true souls by the supreme true god, capable of directly invading the target's mind, forcibly suppressing their will, and causing them to fall into a brief state of dazedness!
A cold, victorious smile curved the corners of Visera's lips.
She was unaware of this.
Richard also possessed a blessing from the Supreme God.
[Sensing the call of the Supreme God]
[Triggering Psionic Resistance]
That cold, hollow whisper from the abyss echoed once again in the depths of Richard's mind!
But it's different from before.
This time, the whispers did not corrupt his mind; instead, they acted as an invisible barrier, forcefully blocking the invading psionic energy from entering!
But Visera was unaware of this secret.
She assumed Richard was under psychic control, a hint of contempt flashing in her crimson pupils. She slowly stepped forward, walking towards the massive figure standing still, its eyes vacant.
He raised the pitch-black Oathbreaker greatsword high in his hand.
"Bye now……"
"An interesting pastor."
The sword blade slashed down fiercely towards Richard's neck!
But just as the sharp blade was about to touch the skin...
Richard's dazed gaze suddenly brightened again.
A blazing light, like molten gold, burned in his pupils!
"The Eye of Judgment—!"
Richard growled, his golden pupils bursting with a blinding, holy light, like two rising suns, locking onto Visera's eyes.
Released through visual actions, the victim is subjected to an endless cycle based on their sins.
Visera's pupils suddenly contracted!
The drow elf's innate combat instincts allowed her to sense danger in advance.
She almost instinctively turned her head away, avoiding direct eye contact with Richard.
However, this dodge created a very brief opening in her movements.
Richard, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"Now—!"
Richard roared, his massive body suddenly leaning forward, his giant fist burning with holy fire, at the last moment before the giantification spell was about to disappear.
Unleash its full power!
boom--!
His fist slammed into Visera's chest!
The massive black sword that Visera held horizontally in front of her chest to block snapped like a fragile tree branch under Richard's immense force.
The sword blade shattered like stars!
The fist, still carrying considerable force, slammed heavily onto her breastplate!
clang--!
A deafening, piercing sound of metal twisting!
Visera's jet-black plate armor caved in and deformed under Richard's punches, eventually shattering completely!
"Well--!"
Visera spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood, her body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Her arms went completely limp from the impact of the block, and her bones broke inch by inch.
The excruciating pain in her chest made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Richard was also having a hard time.
The effect of the giantification technique disappeared the moment the punch was thrown.
Its enormous body rapidly shrank, returning to its original six-foot height.
A wave of weakness washed over him instantly.
[Gigantification spell duration expired]
[Entering a brief period of weakness: All attributes decrease by 20% for 10 minutes]
Richard knelt on one knee, supporting himself on the ground with trembling arms, panting heavily, his golden eyes filled with exhaustion.
It's finally over...
He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where Visera had fallen.
But the next second,
Richard's pupils suddenly contracted.
In the distance, Visera slowly stood up.
Her injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It was as if that fatal punch had never happened.
"What...?"
A flicker of disbelief crossed Richard's eyes.
Then, his gaze fell on Visera's left ring finger.
There, she wore a ring that was entirely black and inlaid with dark purple gemstones.
The surface of the ring was shimmering with an eerie, living, malevolent light.
The Guardian Chain Ring.
A forbidden magical item that can transfer damage received by one wearer to another.
Visera staggered to her feet, wiping a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, her crimson pupils fixed on Richard.
She had indeed underestimated the human priest in front of her. If it weren't for the Chain of Protection ring, that punch would have been enough to seriously injure her.
Visera's icy gaze swept across the entire battlefield.
The giant bears that the druids had transformed into raged wildly, and the prisoners and guards of Blackrock Town were launching a counterattack, which the ordinary goblins and grey dwarves were powerless to stop.
The army of the Supreme God is suffering a crushing defeat.
The defeat is inevitable!
"For now, you've won this game."
Visera slowly turned around, flipped onto the back of the dire wolf, and gave Richard one last look with her scarlet eyes.
"But remember, the gaze of the Most Supreme God has never left."
"We will meet again."
A chilling smile curved the corners of her lips.
"At that time, I will personally offer your soul to the Most Holy God!"
As soon as the words fell
Visera held the remaining half of the sword hilt high in her hand.
Waaah—!
The bugle call to retreat tore through the sky on the battlefield!
The gray dwarves, goblins, and gnolls who were still fighting turned around at the same time after receiving the order and fled frantically towards the dark forest!
Like the receding black seawater.
All that remained were corpses and blood, a testament to the brutality of the war.
Richard stood there, his golden eyes watching Visera's departing figure until the crimson figure completely disappeared into the shadows of the dense forest.
Then, he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air that smelled of blood.
Won!
Blackrock Town...held!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The villagers were covered in wounds, and their hands, which had been gripping their weapons, were numb.
Looking in the direction of the enemy's retreat.
No one speaks.
Only the wind blowing across the scorched earth and pools of blood made a mournful sound.
a long time.
Richard slowly turned around, facing the direction of Blackrock Town.
The towering wall, though damaged in many places, still stands firm.
Wisps of smoke rose from the town.
The cries and cheers of the survivors could be faintly heard on the wind.
"Let's go back."
Richard said softly.
"The war is over!"
