Chapter 84: Great Force
Within Alkhemia, a fierce battle was underway.
The paladin legion advanced in a formation like a sharpened blade, cutting back and forth through the undead ranks, nearly routing Black Rose's forces outright.
Holy light was simply too terrifying a counter to the undead. Moreover, the paladins' power was perfectly unified, turning the entire legion into something virtually indestructible.
Blades of radiance cleaved through the undead army, shattering it and leaving no room for organized resistance.
James Watson himself did not join the charge. As a legendary-tier combatant, rushing forward with his subordinates would have been a waste of his abilities.
As a priest of light, James Watson commanded more than a hundred divine spells. His role was to hover above the battlefield, continuously layering blessings upon the legion below.
Mass Courage, Healing Word, Death Ward, Chain of Protection... With spell after spell, he augmented the paladin legion's combat strength by more than an order of magnitude. They had not suffered a single casualty and had already slain hundreds of undead since the start of the battle.
If not for the powerful death knights—and an almost absurd number of magical automata—in the enemy ranks, the paladins would already have secured victory. Even so, it looked to be only a matter of time. The undead force was hastily cobbled together, and its coordination was abysmal.
Suddenly, a dark green ray shot in from the side and struck James Watson with pinpoint precision.
