Chapter 163: Paladins Bowing to a Lich
The instant the holy light array was disrupted, Ambrose teleported into the city and unleashed a massive area-of-effect Darkness spell.
Thick black fog swallowed the entirety of Sandshadow. It was more than pitch-black: people couldn't even see their hands even when placed directly before their eyes.
But the magical interference Catherine had left behind could only disrupt the formation for a few seconds. The holy light array quickly resumed operation and immediately locked onto Ambrose, an undead radiating darkness from head to toe.
Ambrose had long wished to witness the Lyon Empire's faith-conversion formation. Now that he experienced it firsthand, he had to admit that it was formidable.
The holy power already converted and stored within the array surged to life the moment he appeared. Dozens of radiant blades condensed from pure light and shot toward him.
The former Ambrose would never have dared endure such an assault.
Fortunately, he was no longer the same. The Golden Throne flared at full output, reinforcing his arcane shield. It withstood the relentless bombardment of holy light.
But with every blade deflected, a sliver of gold was shaved from the throne, hundreds, even thousands of gold coins vanishing with each impact.
As the holy swords kept coming, Ambrose's gold disappeared with a cheerful clink.
