"Arcane·Super Flash!"

I stretched my hand towards the sky, and a giant ball of light shot directly into the sky. After a flash, several interlocking rings of light appeared around the ball of light, and then spread outwards towards the surroundings!

The white light rings, like cutting knives, sliced through the surrounding mist. The weapons seemed to have been damaged and slowly retreated towards the surroundings. And those civilians who had emerged from the mist had their conditions directly relieved and their bodies went limp, falling to the ground.

"Alright, don't tell me you guys don't even know healing magic."

"Oh..."

The four of us quickly ran to the side of the civilians, lifted them up, and moved them to the nearby square. In the center of the square, we used light magic crystals to create a mist-free area, and placed them all inside.

I couldn't help but feel that... it was completely different from the original plot. All because of the Devil King's suggestion, I went from being someone who wanted to destroy the city to someone who wanted to protect it.

"This can't go on like this. Let's go directly and eliminate the necromancer, or else we'll exhaust ourselves moving back and forth."

"I totally agree!"

"Me too!"

Both of them responded very directly. However, I think the reason they agreed was probably because they were tired of moving the civilians.

"But then again, where is the necromancer?"

I looked at the three of them and asked.

"Well... we're not part of the knight order or the judiciary, so we're not good at tracking heretics."

"What are you good at besides showing off?"

"Showing off? What does that mean?"

"..."

I sighed.

"Never mind, let's not worry about it. Let's think of another way. Let's first head towards that tower. They probably used that tower as an enchantment for magic control. He should be there too."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry!"

"But it's also troublesome inside the Veil of the Undead, so..."

I pointed towards the direction of the ruins tower, and pressed the skill key. In an instant, the sky was filled with dots of light, and holy light descended from the sky, forcibly dispersing all the mist on our path to the palace.

"This is... [Praise of Light]?"

Yabber looked at me with disbelief in his eyes.

"This... this is a magic that can only be used by bishops. It can deal with an entire army of undead, and yet... how did you..."

"It comes with practice. Don't ask why."

I casually replied, but in reality, I was sweating because I couldn't remember if I awakened this spell or read it from a book.

"I see, I knew it. You're really talented. If you join the church, you'll definitely become the Pope one day!"

"I think I prefer to be free."

Are you kidding me? If I join your church, I'll definitely get tangled up in all kinds of power struggles. After all, you guys have so many idle people, and that's just asking for trouble.

"But we'll always welcome you."

I smiled.

"Alright, let's ignore that issue. Let's hurry and go eliminate the enemy. Otherwise, even if we can handle this situation, the civilians won't be able to."

"Good point, let's set off quickly."

"Mmm."

————————————————————————————————

Before the mist resurfaced, our group had already arrived at the base of the tower.

The appearance of the tall tower was completely different from that of the palace. Compared to the palace, the tower resembled the towering castles in RPG games that needed to be conquered. Brown and gray bricks were intricately arranged, with some moss-like vegetation enveloping the tower.

And it was this completely different style of architecture that directly pierced through the top of the palace, appearing like a towering pillar piercing through the palace.

"Ah, is this the ancient relic? It's true that anything related to legends tends to be exaggerated. The height of this tower feels like it can reach the heavens," Yabber exclaimed, looking up at the tower.

Indeed, the previous maze was already quite extravagant, but I didn't expect this tall tower to be equally perplexing.

It's true that the underground ruins had already connected half of the continent. The scale of this structure... it truly inspires awe.

Looking towards the adjacent building, a blue light illuminated Yaling's tower. Several floating ice blocks hovered around the tower, resembling a protective shield.

It seems that Yaling activated her defensive magic when the Veil of the Undead was activated. It should be useful, right?

"Be careful!"

Yabber's voice had just sounded when the side attack warning lit up! I accelerated forward, and a blade's shadow flashed past from behind me. With a loud crash, it landed on the building to my right.

The cottage was sliced into two halves, emitting black gas from the cut.

How terrifying... what kind of attack is this?

A beheading strike?

I looked towards the left and felt relieved. In the sky on the left, there floated a skeleton draped in a black robe, holding a huge scythe, with black gas constantly emanating from its body!

"My goodness... is this... the Grim Reaper?"

"The Guide of the Abyss - Mador."

Yabber drew his sword as he spoke.

"Be careful!"
