"Silver Hand Knights' leader, Chief Paladin, Lightbringer Uther!"
When the Undead Calamity swept across the lands, the Light Knight Uther was affected by the power of the Undead and was thus resurrected. Along with him, came the Soul Reaver Scythe, a 14th-rank Undead Cavalry wielding a giant scythe.
The Soul Reaver Scythe was an Undead rider carrying a huge scythe. However, Uther did not know what he was searching for. He did not join the Undead Calamity's forces, instead, he wandered through various regions with his Soul Reaver Scythe.
His appearance naturally caught the attention of players and the Holy Empire.
Later, the Holy Empire ordered his elimination, so that this Chief Paladin could finally rest in peace.
At that time, players began investigating Uther's background and formed battle strategies to eliminate him.
Lin Jin also learned about Uther's legendary life and even participated in a battle against him. That battle was incredibly fierce and left a deep impression on Lin Jin.
But back then, aside from admiration, Lin Jin felt that Uther's existence was full of mysteries, even involving secrets of the Holy Empire!
The reason he chose the Undead faction and selected the Wasteland Forest as his starting point was because of Uther.
Litia's appearance was an unexpected surprise, but Uther was the first hero he intended to capture as part of his plan.
Walking down the dark and silent corridor, Lin Jin moved forward. Along both sides of the corridor, there were sealed rooms.
Inside these rooms were knights who had fallen in battle.
According to records left behind by the Holy Church, the Wasteland Forest had once erupted in a massive battle, with the Lightbringer Uther representing the Sanctuary faction.
In addition, there were factions from the Human Alliance, the Forest Faction, and the Academy Faction.
The records didn't go into detail about the process of the battle, but the outcome was that the Sanctuary faction won, with Uther's sacrifice securing the victory.
The long road finally came to an end, and Lin Jin stood before another sealed gate.
In front of the gate stood an Angel Statue.
The statue wore a hood, its face lowered. It was small in stature, with a long sword in each hand and wings spread out behind it.
"Is this the second generation of the Heavenly Angels?"
Lin Jin thought thoughtfully.
The second-generation Heavenly Angels appeared after the establishment of the Holy Falcon Empire. No one knew their origins, only that they were loyal to the empire and revered the Light Dragon Erathas.
Just as Lin Jin was suppressing his thoughts and preparing to open the gate, the statue suddenly burst into a powerful glow.
The statue shattered, and in its place, an Angel glowing with holy light materialized before Lin Jin.
"Intruder, die!"
The Heavenly Angel raised her twin swords. One of the swords shimmered with a dark gold light of Judgment, while the other glowed with a silver light of Redemption.
**Ding! Your intrusion has drawn the attention of the Heavenly Angel Erica!
"Erica!"
Lin Jin was stunned upon hearing the name. He quickly turned his eyes toward Erica, staring intently at her.
Her face slowly began to merge with the face Lin Jin remembered from his past.
How could it be her?!
At that moment, Erica flapped her wings and charged at Lin Jin.
"Terrifying Knights, frontal assault. Vampire Counts, flank them. Litia, wait for your opportunity!"
Lin Jin was too shocked to think clearly, quickly commanding his forces into action.
At the same time, he began to direct the Plague Zombies and Skeleton Soldiers behind him, pushing forward and compressing their formation.
At this point, Lin Jin had no real counter to Angels, and the Terrifying Knights were only 12th-rank, meaning they lacked the ability to fly.
If they were on an open battlefield, his forces would suffer heavy casualties. But in this narrow corridor, he felt he might have a chance.
The 8 Terrifying Knights rode their warhorses toward the Heavenly Angel, and the two forces quickly collided.
The clash of blades echoed with a loud bang. The Heavenly Angel's attack power was overwhelming, and her speed was extremely agile.
She blocked the Terrifying Knights' attacks with one sword, while the other sword counterattacked, leaving a wound on one of the knights.
Her attacks carried holy power, causing much higher damage to the Terrifying Knights.
However, the Terrifying Knights, boosted by Lin Jin's enhancements, were incredibly resilient. Their thick health allowed them to withstand her blows.
Two Terrifying Knights took the lead in engaging with Erica, while the remaining knights, under Lin Jin's command, quickly circled around to limit Erica's movement.
As the battle raged, the Terrifying Knights' swords glowed with a faint light, delivering critical hits that began to leave wounds on Erica.
The double damage was too much for Erica to handle.
Had Erica not been an Angel, possessing an unwavering faith immune to negative status effects, she would have been much easier to deal with.
"Judgment Blade!"
After a few moments of intense fighting, Erica's twin swords flashed in midair. One of them, glowing with golden light, swung toward a Terrifying Knight that was nearly out of health.
"Vampires!"
Lin Jin immediately commanded two Vampires to rush in.
The Vampires jumped out like moths to a flame, charging at the golden sword beam.
In an instant, the two Vampires were incinerated, their forms turning to ash as they were purified.
However, Erica's Judgment Blade also disappeared, and the remaining Terrifying Knights swung their swords, causing more damage to Erica.
"Enlightenment Blade!"
After another round of fierce fighting, Erica's body was covered in numerous wounds, and her health had dropped significantly.
Then, one of her swords began to glow with a silvery white light, and a powerful beam of Holy Light descended from above, enveloping her body.
In an instant, her health began to recover rapidly, and the wounds on her body began to fade.
The intense Holy Light spread out in an aura, and the Terrifying Knights around her saw their health drop as well.
The Enlightenment Blade had healing properties, while the Judgment Blade was for dealing damage.
With her quick speed and superb swordsmanship, the Heavenly Angel could unleash overwhelming power on the battlefield.
Her existence truly cemented the foundation of the Holy Empire!
"Fall back!"
Lin Jin sighed inwardly but remained calm, directing the Terrifying Knights to retreat while sending the Specters and Wraiths circling above to pounce on Erica.
"Ah!"
The screams of the Specters and Wraiths echoed through the air as they were quickly purified by the Holy Light, vanishing like snow in the sun.
