Chapter 20 In Purgatory, Saved From Certain Death

“Commander!”

“Commander, what’s wrong?”

“Sir!”

The surrounding soldiers hurriedly went forward to support the legion commander. He struggled to his feet and said weakly but firmly, “I don’t know what this Sacred Flame is. I only know that we’ve won!”

The legion commander clenched his fists. “We defeated the allied armies of Light. This is a war that will go down in history!

In fact, we can even become legends of the Azure Continent!”

When Skadi’s legion commander finished speaking, he collapsed in satisfaction. With the border concerns resolved, he had accomplished his mission.

“Commander! Commander?”

Seeing that the commander had collapsed, the soldiers around him hurried forward to support him. They did not care to ask what the Sacred Flame was. Under the city walls, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the allied forces of the Temple of Light turned into light among the white flames, and then dissipated completely in the air.

The hellish scene was calm again, but the white Sacred Flame continued to burn as if it would burn everything in the world before stopping. A holy light enveloped the land outside the city. In the Covenant, the Sacred Flame represented holiness but it had wiped out the allied forces of the Temple of Light.

Skadi’s soldiers wondered how the wretched old men of the Covenant would react when they found out about this, but they guessed that they would never be able to smile again! At that moment, the white Sacred Flame slowly began to dissipate, revealing a portion of the ruins at the foot of the city walls. The soldiers on the walls looked at the land below, and for a moment, they could not recall what it had been like before. And the allied forces of Light, which had come to the city with a terrifying might and a world-destroying force not so long ago, had all turned into light and no longer existed in the world.

It was a terrifying power, killing without a trace. It had only been a moment. The soldiers of Skadi standing on the walls shuddered at the sight, even though they were now the victors. They were shaken by the sheer power of such a mage who killed without a trace. They felt vaguely apprehensive. Against a mage who was far stronger than they were, anyone would be wary. No one in the world was an exception.

When the endless light dissipated, there was no longer a single soldier or mage of the allied forces of Light below the walls. It was as if they had never been to Skadi. To the Skadi soldiers, such a scene was as unbelievable as the end of the world! There was silence above the walls for a long time before an abrupt voice sounded.

“We—this is a victory?”

They, who had been on the verge of death, had actually won? They had thought that they would die in this war today, but they actually survived! No, that wasn’t right. They hadn’t won. The victory was obtained by the dimensional expert summoned by Royal Teacher Klent! This was a miracle! This ordinary-looking young man had actually defeated five of the Temple of Light’s Great Archmages. These were the legendary Great Archmages with terrifying power that no one could defeat! Not to mention that this was not just one, but five!

The Temple of Light’s allied legions had swept through the small countries in the east of the Azure Continent. To them, it was as easy as pie. And although the allied army was very powerful, the support of the five Great Archmages was instrumental in subjugating these small countries.

Which one of these countries in the eastern part of the Azure Continent did not feel fear when they heard the name ‘Allied Army of the Temple of Light’? No country targeted by them could escape the fate of destruction. Across the entire Azure Continent, no country could match their legions.

But it was different now. The Allied Army of the Temple of Light had been defeated by this young man. Like a miracle, the young man had single-handedly crushed the entire allied legions, leaving them with no chance of resistance. Everyone on the city walls was in shock before taking a while to recover.

“We have won?” said a faint voice.

The frozen time seemed to have begun to recover from this moment.

“We have won!” a knight next to him declared.

“Aaargh-we’ve won!” This was followed by an uproar.

‘We won in the end. We have safeguarded our kingdom!’

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar. All the emotions broke out, and the walls were filled with the sound of victory. It was as if the entire earth was shaking, and the joy of surviving the disaster made all the soldiers burst into enthusiastic activity. Some of them suddenly hugged their comrades beside them and cried out. Others laughed wildly. It was the aftermath of great sorrow and joy.

At this moment, with Princess Celia at the center, the people around Mo Fan looked at him with admiration. In their hearts, he was no longer an ordinary young man, but a god. He was the savior of the entire Skadi kingdom in times of danger. In the eyes of these people, Mo Fan was like a golden light around them, a supreme being.

Celia watched as Mo Fan slowly descended. A breeze blew past the corner of Mo Fan’s clothes. In Celia’s eyes, Mo Fan seemed to have holy light enveloping his head at this moment, giving him an extraordinary aura. He was indeed a powerhouse from another world. Even when he landed, he seemed exceptionally extraordinary. He was so powerful at this moment, like a true god of magic whose light illuminated the entire earth.

This young man was really a powerhouse from another world. He could fight against five Great Archmages alone and leave them defenseless. He was the strongest being in the Azure Continent! But he really fought alone and saved the entire Skadi, her country.

Celia’s breathing suddenly quickened. She looked at Mo Fan with passion in her eyes, and there were tears shimmering in them. Celia felt as if she was enveloped in divine light at that moment, and this brilliant holy light had been brought about by this young man. He had brought about a miraculous victory. The joy of having been saved from certain death made her feel so emotional that she forgot herself and wanted to run to Mo Fan to thank him for saving the Skadi Kingdom in the nick of time.
