Chapter 179: Sefira’s Big Shot (4)
There were many religious orders in the world, but the Lillian Kingdom only permitted the worship of two deities: Nikeh, the god of fortune, and Frey, the god of abundance.
All other religious orders were forbidden from building churches or engaging in missionary activity within the Lillian Kingdom. Therefore, the Order of the Sun, which worshiped Pharas, the god of the sun, was not allowed to operate within the kingdom.
How could they be here?
Ailos couldn’t believe his eyes. It wasn’t just one or two people; many priests of the Order of the Sun began to glow all throughout the stands.
The darkness began to recede. The light was warm to humans, but melted the flesh and bones of the Undead. The priests of the Order of the Sun, having become sources of light themselves, simply stood with arms outstretched, but even that alone gave people hope and solace.
“I can see them! I can see those monster bastards!”
“They can’t regenerate in this light!”
The knights, who had been fighting the Undead relying on nothing but their other senses, were reinvigorated. The Undead’s seemingly invincible immortality vanished under the light of the sun.
Ailos turned his gaze back to Keter.
“You were so confident because you had the priests backing you, huh? But that light is weak at best.”
Just as he said, although the darkness had been pushed back, the entire arena was not illuminated. In fact, some areas had grown darker. This was partly because there were only about twenty priests, but more because the darkness that had been driven away by the light had condensed at the center of the arena, making it even deeper.
With a gesture, Ailos halted the movements of the skeleton knights and smiled.
