Chapter 572 - 509: Witnessed by All Gods, The Resurgence of the Dragon!
People of this generation in Laine, young or old, had only heard legends of Gareth and few had actually seen him with their own eyes.
Even Old William had met him face to face, but he was far too young at the time to comprehend Gareth’s strength.
In the words of Aige, the demigod of the Elegy Poetry Society, Gareth had transcended the mundane world; it was only his entrapment within a mortal shell that kept him from liberation.
Thus, Gareth slew dragons as if he were slaughtering chickens. His unreasonable strength terrified the Githyanki and their Red Dragons, who didn’t dare to confront him directly, resorting instead to exiling him and attempting to take Miss Bone Dragon hostage.
If it weren’t for Gareth’s obsession with Miss Bone Dragon’s allure, completely voiding his qualifications to vie for a Deity Position, even Ghoul Yugas wouldn’t dare to conjure such thoughts, for fear that Gareth could decapitate him before the Guild Leader could even react to save him.
This was the true value of the Pillar of Shame in Laine. The power of Gareth’s strike was comparable to the might of the Silvermoon Knight at his peak.
One strike strong enough to breach a fortress, nothing could withstand it.
Indeed, Holy Light does counter Dark Magic Power, but you can’t use a cup of water to extinguish a wildfire.
A slash imbued with the refined essence of Dark Magic Power cleaved through the Holy Light Iron Wall, intent on slicing Old William in two as well.
At this critical moment, a keen presence blinked into existence, a pure and somewhat transparent Holy Light appearing before the dark flames.
