Chapter 656: Volume Eighteen: Stormy Secrets, - Seven: Holy Grail Array
The silver object that suddenly soared into the sky burst into a silvery-white glow that illuminated the heavens and earth from more than ten meters above, its light turning the entirety of Damarlinsk Castle into day, causing even Komer and Rebury, who were hidden in a secret chamber and peering secretly, to involuntarily close their eyes to adjust to the dazzling brilliance at that moment.
"The Holy Grail? The Light Array?!" Rebury couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, eyes flashing with complex and unpredictable expressions, "It seems that the Court has indeed been beneficial for him; at the very least, the Light Array has allowed his power to increase by not just a little."
"Mr. Rebury, when you speak of ’him,’ do you mean that older judge? Who is he?" Komer slightly narrowed his pupils to adapt to the glaring silvery-white anomalies, while the Ice Puppets were almost instantly swept away by the onslaught of the silvery-white light. The once awe-inspiring Ice Puppets couldn’t even last a few seconds against the torrent of odd silvery-white light before they went from ice sculptures to ice chips and then to air. The thick Nether Qi within the Magic Array was cleansed completely by the powerful Light Magic as if a flood had passed, the howling Nether Qi and the oncoming Holy Light Power causing strange wailing sounds from their collision, causing even the stone pillars within the Magic Array to seem to wobble.
The immense spatial rift caused the scenes within the Magic Array to appear peculiarly distorted, a sign of a spatial crack created by the forceful impact of magic. At this time, anyone not careful enough to step into it would be teleported to an unknown dimension, and returning to the original world would indeed rely solely on God’s grace.
"Caru was originally a Protector of the Sanctuary at Pericles Cathedral, but due to a difference in understanding of the doctrines with his companions, he voluntarily left the cathedral to wander. Unexpectedly, he was still invited to join the Court. This Light Array is a unique secret technique developed by the fanatic Noyola that utilizes magical instruments to release magic power; while not saying Noyola is anything but a madman, he is also a genius. This kind of array can greatly use the mana of magical instruments, preserving the judge’s mana to the maximum extent, similar to magic tools, but its power exceeds ordinary magic tools by more than several times, of course, it also requires a mage to release some special magic to guide the sacred instruments in unleashing power."
It was evident that Rebury had a profound understanding of the Church of Light’s inner workings, which aroused Komer’s curiosity. Rebury’s special connection with the Church of Light was undeniable, but what kind of glorious history he had there is something Komer had always pondered. What made Rebury go from the light into darkness was something Komer very much wanted to understand and know, but he knew that the timing was not yet ripe, believing that Rebury would eventually reveal his secrets bit by bit.
The ceaseless flow of Nether Qi from the Eye of Darkness was, for the moment, unable to burst forth under the suppression of the mighty Holy Light, and Komer also abandoned the idea of using puppet magic again to gather Ice Puppets. This was probably the best opportunity for a cordial meeting, and to further provoke the other party would truly become a malicious provocation against the authority of the Church of Light.
Caru and Boritz dared not be overly confident any longer and quickly rushed out of the range affected by the Magic Array, using the short burst of Holy Light to sprint to the edge of the castle’s walls; Caru’s eyes, bright as morning stars, kept scouting the second floor inside the castle, certain that the other party was watching from some point, and it seemed that it was time for them to show themselves.
