Chapter 85: A Long-Awaited Reunion
Holy light poured down from the high heavens, while a roar surged up from the depths of the earth. Both were formless, yet their collision was surely real. Countless explosions erupted out of nothing.
The earth shattered. Buildings collapsed into ruins.
Both the undead and the paladins were swallowed up by the explosions, though the latter fared far better. James Watson's Divine Intervention had channeled the power of the Lord of Dawn into reinforcing the paladins' defenses and healing their wounds.
Those paladins who had already fallen could not be resurrected, but anyone still clinging to life was pulled back from the brink of death.
Not only that, they were suffused with overwhelming holy power, enabling them to emerge from the violent blasts without a scratch.
Even James Watson himself was freed from Black Rose's curse, and would remain immune to it for some time.
As for the undead, aside from Gareth and Black Rose, they were almost entirely wiped out.
Such was the tyranny of divinity: a single glance was enough to overturn the entire battlefield.
That was precisely why Black Rose had never considered using Wish against the Lyon Empire. It would have been absolutely futile.
