Chapter 312: Eight Holy Angels
With the descent of the Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal, countless crosses shining with holy radiance fell. All black wizards felt extremely uncomfortable.
The magic of the Holy School was different from the light magic sub-direction within the Evocation School.
The magic of the Holy School looked the same as light magic, filled with light energy, but it utilized two different characteristics of light element particles among the seven basic particles.
Light magic utilized the physical characteristics of light element particles themselves, while divine magic utilized the characteristic of light element particles easily combining with positive concepts.
Locke had previously learned through Universal Studies that within the White Wizard Association, Holy School wizards were usually the most obsessed and most rule-abiding people who followed rules they themselves established.
Their magic easily combined with certain concepts, causing them sometimes, as they studied, to fall into their own thinking and begin exhibiting behavior difficult for outsiders to understand but divine magic was truly a natural counter to all black magic produced based on negative energy particles.
It could only be said that one type of obsessed person countered another type of heaven-defying person.
Through the large-scale Life Barrier's crystal ball, Locke saw everything happening outside. After those cross radiant holy swords descended, eight angels faintly appeared behind those holy swords.
These eight holy angel giants continuously resonated with light particles in the air, forming some kind of deafening sound.
'Order!' 'Wisdom!'
'Diligence!'
'Justice!'
'Integrity!'
'Dedication!'
'Reciprocity!'
'Knowledge-seeking!'
The voices of the eight great virtues defined by the White Wizard Association appeared above Lilith's Cottage.
Then those eight angel giants, wielding cross radiant holy swords, continuously attacked those formal wizard black wizards.
The 'Order Angel' glared with angry eyebrows, "Black wizards, you disrupted social order. You violated the rules established by the Wizard Association!"
With one sword strike, a vampire count was actually severed at the waist. Of course, vampire counts had powerful vitality. Even severed at the waist they wouldn't die. The upper body could still flutter and fly in midair, though it would severely wound them in an instant.
The 'Reciprocity' Angel's eyes sprayed out furious radiance. Two cross rays fell upon two formal wizard black wizards. "Black wizards, you didn't give us equivalent reciprocity. You violated the principle of equivalent exchange."
The 'Integrity' Angel wielding two cross radiant holy swords killed into the black wizard crowd. "Black wizards, you didn't fulfill your contracts. You lack 'integrity'!"
The 'Diligence' Angel wielding a massive cross holy sword split open the Black Wizard Alliance camp with one strike, forcing them to separate into two sides. "Black wizards, you lack 'diligence.' The value you create is extremely little."
The reason the eight angels could slaughter on all sides among over a hundred formal wizards was because behind them was the support of the Holy Domain established by the Holy School magic category wizards from Virdantia University.
Behind each of the eight angels was a Divine Kingdom Gate, continuously providing them with massive quantities of light element particles combined with the eight virtue concepts. These light element particles were also specially arranged and combined through the Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal spell model, thus able to display even greater effectiveness.
Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal was the magical crystallization of Virdantia University, representing their highest level of Holy School magic.
Aside from requiring lengthy preliminary setup, it had no flaws.
Those Holy Domains spread faiths fabricated by these Holy School wizards to the mortal world, causing those mortals' souls after death to fly directly toward these Holy Domains, believing them to be gods' divine kingdoms.
After these mortals died, they still had to work for these wizards. By having these mortal believers continuously believe in certain positive concepts and condense feelings of happiness, they could continuously wash light element particles into divine magic energy combined with these specific concepts.
Locke had heard that Holy School wizards were the most special. Among all school magic categories in the White Wizard Association, their requirements for talent level were the lowest, but their requirements for sense of conviction and values were conversely the highest.
Of course, at the recruitment level, Virdantia University's divine magic category generally only recruited students with 6th-level talent and Children of Elements with 7th-level talent.
The black wizards hadn't expected things would develop this way. Suddenly suffering severe damage, in an instant, four formal black wizards whose permanent defensive fields weren't defensive magic were immediately slain on the spot by the eight angels using cross holy swords.
One should know that in the southeastern quadrant generally speaking, a formal wizard could already dominate for a hundred years. Who could have thought that in such a small raid battle, so many formal wizards would die consecutively?
As time passed, black wizard formal wizards were still continuously dying.
The black wizards were both shocked and furious. "It's those most hypocritical holy masters among white wizards. I've never seen anyone who could be so hypocritical."
"Damn it, how could those holy masters appear here? Doesn't Lilith's Cottage have no holy masters?"
"Those holy masters are man-eating demons. They eat you clean and still want you to be grateful. Their magic research is researching human nature!"
"We've fallen into the holy masters' large-scale barrier. In this barrier, as long as we don't conform to the moral concepts those holy masters created, we'll be immediately slain. Our magic is naturally suppressed here, weakened by thirty percent out of thin air."
Hammerk tried to salvage the situation. "Everyone, don't panic. We have superior numbers. Even if we've fallen into Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal, we can still kill our way out."
But at this time, those selfish black wizards definitely wouldn't listen to him anymore. Black wizards one by one tried to fly into the dark gate, wanting to teleport away directly from here.
Hammerk's expression changed dramatically. "Don't."
The next moment, the dark gate twisted open. Within Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal, the dark gate that originally required precise maintenance naturally couldn't operate normally. At this time, actively entering the dark gate was like suicide.
Some black wizards, seeing this situation, directly began scattering and fleeing in all directions. But they discovered that no matter how they flew, they couldn't fly out of the Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal's range.
Wizard Hammerk shouted loudly, "Everyone, Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal has the support of false divine kingdoms created by those hypocritical white wizards behind it. Only by destroying this sealing array can we leave."
"Just kill one of the angels! Everyone don't panic! Damn it, this rabble."
...
Locke in the underground defensive facility building hadn't expected things would develop this way. Among the series of events that just occurred, whether it was Holy Flesh Punishment summoned by Corpse Control Court, or the eight holy angels summoned by the White Wizard Association, or that giant wooden spear that nailed down the Holy Flesh, those should be these academies' secret weapons.
Each one, if Locke had to deal with it himself, he probably couldn't last three rounds.
Individual power appeared so minuscule before these three great magics.
Therefore, Locke put away the bit of complacency that had risen from previously presiding over the large-scale ecological transformation.
Locke said, "I previously guessed that this time was definitely a trap set by white wizards. I didn't expect it really was."
"But the black wizards previously weren't entirely without opportunity. If I'm not mistaken, the academy leadership probably didn't expect the black wizards' previous attack would be so fierce, almost really losing control before Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal was completed."
Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal couldn't be set up in advance. Once set up in advance and discovered by others, they would directly turn around and retreat.
So they had to keep the black wizards' attention focused on attacking Lilith's Cottage, then secretly set up Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal in the surroundings.
Previously, the black wizards had almost really succeeded in capturing Lilith's Cottage first, then retreating directly with spoils of war.
But now, because of his obstruction, they lost the best opportunity. At this moment Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal had already been completed. The black wizards, seeing the situation was dire, one by one lost all thought of continuing to fight and only thought of escaping.
Locke took half a step, then suddenly frowned, "What's going on?"
"I seem to have forgotten something."
The next moment, a suffocating feeling appeared in Locke's heart. Locke felt like he was pulled into the ocean. He felt unable to breathe. Opening his eyes, he actually saw the scenery on the sea surface from the ocean floor.
'Blood Curse Court's curse? No, this isn't curse magic. This is a ghost magic spell model.'
'Why can it ignore my permanent defensive field and drag me here?'
'This is bad, I can't breathe!'
At this time, on the battlefield, Ghost Sacred Order Sect Leader Stephanie Witch's gaze was cold. Like some kind of dancing ghost, she moved both hands. Her hand gestures and dance posture were a spellcasting ritual.
At her feet appeared a ritual array with three patterns respectively, a shattered mirror, a damaged bone bell, and an obsidian flaying knife.
Countless lines connected between the three patterns, outlining a unique ghost ritual array.
Sect Leader Stephanie said coldly, "Eye Demon Wizard, you underestimated the power of a First Circle wizard with crystallized mental power too much."
"Today let you taste the ritual magic that can only be used after mana materializes to the crystallization degree. This is the unique privilege of wizards with crystallized mental power."
