The princess’s eyes lit up.

 

The form of the attack wasn’t important, what mattered was that Edwina’s impromptu action led them to discover the true power capable of harming this eerie resentful spirit.

 

The Holy Light bestowed by the temple, or rather, the goddess.

 

Yes, this kind of power, opposite to the evil spirits formed purely from resentment, would inevitably create a significant mutual restraint.

 

“Try using light attribute attacks!”

 

At Lilya’s command, four or five streams of white or golden light burst forth from the crowd, heading straight for the howling resentful spirit.

 

However, the white auroras, cast by mages and relying purely on heat and penetration for damage, had only a moderate effect on the resentment. Only two golden streams thrown by adventurer clerics showed a more considerable killing power.

 

“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!”

 

Leopold’s gigantic face formed by black mist once again erupted in a horrifying scream, seemingly containing a bit of the power of [Fear] even in its voice.

 

This is a race that exists between gods and humans. More accurately, they can be called godsend. Although in most cases they are essentially indistinguishable from ordinary humans, their innate talent for cultivating the power of the Holy Light is stronger. Moreover, the light they refine is purer than that of ordinary goddess worshippers.

 

Could it be that the purity of the light element is what causes such a significant difference?

 

In other words, in a situation where everyone is unable to inflict effective damage, this battle can probably only be led by Edwina, the divine descendant Holy Knight.

 

“Priest, immediately bless Edwina, others provide cover and support her, continue to attack as before!”

 

“Yes!”

 

Everyone is at least sky-level top-tier experts, with high combat skills and awareness. Under the direction of Lilya, the team of over a dozen people immediately changes tactics.

 

The shield warrior blocks Edwina, Nicholas swings his sword to intercept the arrow rain aimed at the miss knight, while the assassin and others stand nearby, avoiding the attacks of the vengeful spirits and maintaining a distance ready for support.

 

The two sky-level priests simultaneously raise their hands, and various colored lights shoot out from the tops of their staffs, injecting into the exhausted body of the Holy Knight.

 

As the priests, claiming to be the world’s top-tier support profession, their abilities are very comprehensive, covering various aspects of recovery and enhancement effects.

 

Under the full support of the seemingly married couple, Edwina’s depleted holy power, worn out from continuous battles, begins to rapidly recover like a gushing spring.

 

Her body seems to radiate inexhaustible strength, and her vision becomes clear and expansive. Even in the dim experimental field, she seems to be able to clearly perceive everything.

 

Edwina’s combat awareness is not weak. After seeing the previous scene, she immediately understands the princess’s policy.

 

Without hesitation, the extermination of the undead is the absolute duty of every goddess worshipper.

 

“Take this, Miss Edwina!”

 

“Mm!”

 

Accepting the sword thrown by Nicholas, Edwina promptly put away the Holy Knight shield. She injected all the recently recovered holy power into the sword and once again unleashed the familiar “Divine Radiance Slash.”

 

And she forcefully launched it!

 

With the support of the priests, the golden light accompanying the sword this time was even more intense than before, dazzling to the point of being almost blinding. It rushed straight towards the gigantic face in the sky like a golden thunderbolt.

 

But this time, the hybrid vengeful spirit led by Leopold was no longer unprepared and launched a counterattack.

 

“Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die!!!!!!”

 

Screaming angrily, the airflow condensed into a black long sword similar to the Divine Radiance Slash, falling in the opposite direction to intercept Edwina’s attack head-on.

 

“First Form, Crimson Flame!”

 

Before the collision of the black and gold swords, arrows surrounded by crimson flames came through the air. They hit the side of the black sword before the collision, causing it to veer off course and embed itself into the edge of the experimental field wall, turning back into black mist and dispersing.

 

Meanwhile, Edwina’s Divine Radiance Slash, with the support of the crimson flame arrow, once again hit the core of the vengeful spirit.

 

“Ahhhhhh!!!! Despicable!!! You’re too despicable!!!!”

 

As expected, this attack had a more significant effect, directly evaporating nearly a tenth of the dark mist from the fused vengeful spirit. The sword even pierced through the dome of the experimental field, breaking through the air, leaving only a beam of sunlight infiltrating the darkness from the outside.

 

“Well done, continue the attack!”

 

Completely ignoring the vengeful spirit’s angry accusations, Mr. Vicious Wolf gave a thumbs up and threw another sword towards Edwina.

 

With over a dozen sky-level experts and the princess supporting them, the consumption of a few swords was really inconsequential. Besides Edwina’s initially thrown purple-quality holy sword, which was stuck in the ceiling, the others were just white or green mass-produced equipment.

 

The key was the holy power, not the quality of the equipment.

 

“Divine Radiance Slash!”

 

Edwina replicated the move, swinging another sword. This time, Leopold’s vengeful spirit once again formed a black sword in an attempt to counterattack. Similarly, before the collision, Flora used the move “Crimson Flame.”

 

However,

 

“What!?”

 

Several people at the scene simultaneously exclaimed, and the face of the crimson flame flower turned even more unpleasant.

 

Because inside the vengeful spirit, arrows with the same black flames flying were unexpectedly released, colliding with the Crimson Flame arrows, and both were annihilated!

 

Without the support of the flower, Edwina’s Divine Radiance Slash failed to achieve the same results as before. Although it still pierced through the vengeful spirit’s body, its power had diminished significantly.

 

“It… it’s actually learning? Learning our moves?”

 

The development of the situation completely exceeded the princess’s expectations for the first time.

 

When Leopold’s vengeful spirit created the arrow rain earlier, the princess felt… it seemed somewhat similar to the arrows used by the Flora. Later, it created a black sword blade extremely similar to the Divine Radiance Slash.

 

Now, seeing even the Crimson Flame being replicated, Lilya finally confirmed her suspicion.

 

The legendary strength lies in the diversity of their abilities, such as the Crimson Flame Flora’s technique, Prakaka’s formidable invisibility, and so on. While their physical qualities may not be overwhelmingly superior to sky-level beings, they are still confined to their own racial category.

 

So, if there’s a legendary being that can quickly master the abilities of any opponent, they can truly be described as unparalleled.

 

Beyond transcendent-level… invincible!

 

The expressions of everyone changed drastically, but no one noticed that a white figure was in the dark corner of the experimental field, taking in everything before them.

 

With a slight tilt of her head, the girl’s mouth curved into a pleased smile, as if she had thought of something interesting. In a flash, she disappeared without a trace.
