A different world game? A different world game!

On the battlefield where they encountered each other.

Clearly sensing the terrifying power contained within the divine spear in his hand, power enough to shake the abyss, Velen's heart had never been so surging.

It was a feeling of awe and ecstasy that came from being chosen by a supreme power and entrusted with a sacred mission.

All fatigue and fear were instantly swept away, and an unprecedented sense of power and mission filled my body.

He took a deep breath, and a divine light flowed from the spear he gripped tightly into his body, dispelling the chill and pain within him.

He used all his strength to violently pull the [Radiant Oath], which was deeply embedded in the ground.

A sacred voice resounded.

A pale golden light swept outwards like a halo.

Holy light spread out from him like a tide, temporarily purifying the chaotic aura in a small area around him.

Velen raised his divine spear, "Radiant Oath," its tip pointing directly at the shadow demon lord in the distance, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, yet it was filled with an unquestionable firmness and a sacred sense of judgment, resounding throughout the brief silence of the battlefield.

"In the will of the Savior! In the name of the Holy Oath! Blasphemer in the shadows, your end is nigh!!"

His declaration, like a thunderclap, once again shattered the eerie silence of the battlefield.

The Shadow Lord's face, composed of viscous darkness, twisted violently, emitting a series of piercing, malicious, and boastful shrieks.

"Foolish ants! Lowly scum of order! Do you think you can change your fate of being crushed by holding onto a glowing stick?"

"Before the power of the highest abyss, you are still a pathetic ant! I will tear your flesh apart and drag your soul into the deepest shadow prison, so that you may hear the whispers of the abyss in eternal screams!"

However, its blustering roar could not conceal its underlying unease.

Its defensive posture was stretched to its limit, and the shadowy substance that made up its body writhed wildly, trying to build thicker and more twisted dark barriers in front of it.

It was as if this could block the divine light emanating from that divine spear, a light that made its very soul tremble.

The Shadow Lord's crimson "eyes," formed from pure malice, were fixed on the [Radiant Oath] in Velen's hand, filled with unprecedented apprehension and...fear.

The pressure brought by this descending sacred spear is devastating.

It is no longer the hunter, but the prey locked onto by the sacred hunting rifle.

Velen's heart pounded wildly in his chest, and the cold, sacred touch of the divine spear [Radiant Oath] seemed to connect his soul directly to the source of endless order through his palm.

That immense sense of power dispelled fatigue and pain, filling my entire body with an unprecedented clarity and resolve.

He raised his divine spear high, its golden light piercing the murky sky of the abyss, and let out a roar that shook the entire battlefield:

"Holy O Radiance!"

Om-!
【Radiant Oath】responded to his call.

The entire spear instantly transformed into a beam of pure holy light, condensed to its extreme and so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Viren felt as if what he was holding in his hand was no longer metal, but a flowing, scalding river of light.

Almost instinctively, he swung his sword at the shadow demon lord who was in the distance, who was terrified and on guard.

A massive blade of light, composed of pure divine energy, detached from the spear tip in an instant, tearing through the air and hurtling towards the Shadow Demon Lord with a piercing roar that seemed to purify all evil.

Damn it!

The Shadow Lord let out a piercing shriek, daring not to take the light blade, which contained the power of supreme order, head-on.

The viscous shadow that made up its body churned violently, instantly transforming into a wisp of black smoke that dodged to the side at incredible speed.

The light blade whistled past, grazing its fading afterimage, and slashed fiercely into the surging demon reinforcements from behind.

*Pfft!*
Like a hot knife cutting into butter.

Wherever the blade of light passed, whether it was a low-level inferior demon or a horned demon, or a mid-level berserker or a freak, their tough demon bodies and enchanted armor were all rendered utterly fragile in the face of this holy blade of light.

They were easily cleaved, torn apart, and annihilated by the light blade.

It left behind a path of destruction, burning with golden flames and sizzling.

The demons that were lucky enough not to be killed directly had wounds that felt like they were being branded with a red-hot iron. Black smoke rose up along with their shrill screams, and the divine power, like a maggot clinging to their bones, continued to erode their chaotic essence.

Even more strangely, the Night Watch warriors who fought valiantly along the path were not harmed when the afterglow of the light blade swept over them. Instead, they felt a warm current flow into their bodies, their fatigue vanished, their small wounds healed rapidly, and even the dim runes on their [Bastion Oath] armor brightened again.

"Hahaha! Again!"

Witnessing this, Viren's confidence soared.

He let out a long roar, activating the power within his body that had been unleashed by the divine spear. His speed suddenly increased several times over, and he transformed into a golden streak of light, thrusting his spear straight at the shadow demon lord who was desperately dodging.

He no longer held back his power, wielding the [Radiant Oath] repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of purifying light blades like a torrential downpour, relentlessly bombarding the Shadow Demon Lord's figure.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire flank of the battlefield was instantly enveloped by the holy storm.

Velen pursued the shadow demon lord's figure, and wherever his blade touched, demons fell in droves, leaving a trail of wailing cries.

Meanwhile, the Night's Watch troops, as if bathed in divine rain, were filled with high morale and their fighting power soared, making their counterattack even more fierce.

The demon reinforcements, who had originally intended to break through the Night's Watch formation, were thrown into disarray by the indiscriminate yet distinctly friend-or-foe holy storm, and their offensive stalled.

The Shadow Demon Lord was overwhelmed and in a sorry state by the violent rain of light blades.

Its prized shadow stealth is greatly diminished under the intense light of [Radiant Oath], and every flash is predicted and blocked by the light blade.

The pure divine power inflicted damage on it far exceeding that of physical attacks; each brush against it caused it to let out a painful groan, and the shadowy substance that made up its body continuously dissipated.

"You wretched little bug!"

The Shadow Lord was filled with shock and rage. While dodging Velen's next slash, he tried to repeat his old trick.

Shadowy claws silently emerged from the ground, reaching for several nearby Night's Watch warriors, attempting to disrupt Velen's mind through brutal killing.

However, Velen's combat instincts became incredibly sharp with the aid of the divine spear.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he no longer focused on directly hitting the fast-moving Shadow Demon Lord.

He gripped the [Radiant Oath] tightly with both hands and roared again.

"Imprisonment!"

He suddenly swung the divine spear upwards.

It was no longer a slashing blade of light; instead, the sacred runes on the gun suddenly shone brightly. *Whoosh!*
Four beams of blazing white light, much thicker and more solid than before, rose suddenly from the four directions—east, west, south, and north—like spears of divine punishment, without warning, just as the Shadow Demon Lord had tried to land and dodge.

The four beams of light formed a massive holy cage, instantly sealing off the space around the Shadow Demon Lord.

The powerful force field of order acted like a physical wall, not only blocking physical movement but also forcibly interrupting the movement of shadows.

The ability to transform the spear into this peculiar power of confinement originates from Velen's own inherent power of rules, which is amplified by the Holy Light.

"what?!"

The Shadow Lord was horrified to find himself imprisoned in place. Although it was only for a very brief moment, the pure holy cage made him feel as if he were in a furnace, with the shadow matter all over his body boiling and screaming.

That instant was enough for a legendary battle.

"Divine spear, thrust!"

Viren seized the fleeting opportunity and acted without hesitation.

He poured all his strength, will, and grief over the sacrifice of his comrades into the [Radiant Oath] in his hand.

With a deafening roar, the entire spear transformed once again into a blazing white light stream that pierced through the heavens and earth; it was no longer an energy blade, but the true form of the divine artifact [Radiant Oath].

call out--!!!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The white light surpassed the limits of visual perception, carrying a resolute will to judge all chaos. Ignoring spatial distance, it pierced the core of the Shadow Demon Lord's chest, which had been briefly bound by the sacred cage, with unparalleled precision.

puff!
Like a red-hot iron rod piercing through snow, the Holy Light Spear pierced through the Shadow Lord's viscous, dark body without hindrance, pinning him firmly to a huge, charred rock behind him.

Boom!!!

Immediately following the piercing was a deafening, sacred explosion.

With the nailed Shadow Demon Lord at its core, a blazing white sphere of light, condensed to its extreme and containing terrifying purifying power, suddenly exploded.

The expanding white sphere exploded, transforming into a cross-shaped beam of light.

The intense light instantly engulfed everything, illuminating the area within a hundred meters as if it were daytime, leaving no trace of filth or shadow.

The ear-piercing "sizzling" sound, accompanied by the Shadow Demon Lord's heart-wrenching screams filled with endless pain and despair, echoed throughout the battlefield.

The sphere of light rapidly expanded and contracted, eventually dissipating.

On the rock, only a huge pit remains, its edges adorned with golden, lava-like patterns, and the [Radiant Oath] spear, still radiating divine power, remains, its center protruding diagonally.

Beneath the spear tip, a small, writhing, viscous shadow remained, constantly being burned and melted by the golden holy flames—the last remnant of the Shadow Demon Lord's original core after his body disintegrated.

It was emitting a dying, incomprehensible hiss, clearly having suffered a devastating blow!

However, the Abyss Demons are indeed extremely resilient in their ability to survive.

Just as Velen was catching his breath and preparing to deliver the final blow, two enormous claws made of pure shadow suddenly emerged from the ground, from the cracks in the rocks, and even from the shadows of some fallen demon corpses.

These two giant claws were more solid and ferocious than any previous attack, driven by a desperate madness. Taking advantage of the moment when Velen was unarmed, they viciously grabbed at his head and chest from the left and right.

This was the Shadow Lord's final counterattack, intending to sacrifice his remaining essence to perish together with Velen.

"Don't think about it!"

Velen remained calm despite his surprise.

Even without his sharpshooter, he remains a battle-hardened master of the Night's Watch.

Faced with this deadly sneak attack, his eyes widened in anger, his blood-stained face showing no fear.

The power of rules and his own immense magic instantly coalesced on his fists. Instead of retreating, he advanced and fiercely swung his fists to meet the two giant shadowy claws.

boom!boom!
Two deep, thunderous thuds.

Velen's fists collided violently with the shadowy giant claw.

The terrifying shockwave sent him flying backward, his arms throbbing with pain, his blood churning, and runes flashing on his armor as he withstood the terrifying blow that could have shattered steel.

Although it wasn't torn apart directly, it still suffered considerable shock.

At the same time, the [Radiant Oath] nailed to the rock seemed to possess a spirit, emitting a clear hum, and transformed into a stream of light that flew back on its own, landing steadily in Velen's hand as he flew backward.

With the spear in hand, divine power surged into his body once more, instantly calming his turbulent blood and dispelling the chilling shadows that had been encroaching upon him.

Velen's eyes flashed with cold light. Taking advantage of the momentum of his backward flight, he twisted his body sharply and completed his charge in mid-air. He then launched another deadly thrust at the weak core that was frantically writhing on the ground, trying to reassemble the remaining shadow power.

"Demon, end this!"

[Divine spear, thrust!]
The second beam of blazing white light tore through the air, striking the writhing, struggling shadow source with unparalleled precision once more.

laugh--! ! !
This time, there was no earth-shattering explosion.

Only a piercing, extinguishing sound, like boiling oil being poured onto snow, rang out.

Under the ultimate holy piercing power of [Radiant Oath], that shadowy origin was like a thin mist exposed to the scorching sun, instantly purified and annihilated without leaving even a trace.

From the moment Velen grasped the [Radiant Oath] to the complete annihilation of the Shadow Lord, only a few minutes passed.

The situation has completely reversed.

Viren stood proudly in the center of the battlefield, holding his divine spear, the tip pointing diagonally at the earth. Golden, holy light rippled outwards from him, completely dispelling the remaining shadowy aura around him.

He surveyed the entire battlefield.

On Leilia's side, although she was still being suppressed by the two powerful demon lords, she also noticed the amazing reversal on Velen's side. Her fighting posture became even wilder, and she wielded the [Sun Soul] with great force, showing a faint tendency to launch a counterattack.

On the main battlefield, the Night Watch's elite forces, boosted by the aftershocks of [Holy Radiance], reached peak morale and combat strength, completely suppressing the first wave of returning demon elites. They began to divide and encircle the enemy, carrying out the final annihilation.

The newly arrived wave of demon reinforcements was thrown into disarray by the indiscriminate barrage of light blades from the divine spear [Radiant Oath], and their morale plummeted after the sudden fall of the Shadow Demon Lord, causing their offensive to descend into chaos.

However, as Velen noticed the spreading shadow—the Shadow Demon was not so easy to kill.

As a shadow, as a legendary demon, after being shattered, he incorporated his shadow into everything.

Although its vast shadow origin was severely damaged and ultimately purified by [Radiant Oath], the residual power that dissipated during its collapse, like countless black venomous snakes, merged into the shadows of every corner of the battlefield.

This caused the already intense chaotic shadow energy on the battlefield to suddenly rise to a higher level, as if shrouding the entire battlefield in a dark veil.

This shadow greatly impaired the Night's Watchers' vision, slowed their annihilation of the remaining demons, and gave the scattered demons a chance to hide and catch their breath.

Although the enemy was defeated, they were not wiped out quickly. (End of Chapter)
