The Chosen of Slaanesh in Infinite Worlds

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" someone shouted in horror, trying to escape from the battlefield that was about to be destroyed.

"Damn it! I'm afraid it's too late!" Another adventurer responded in despair. He clearly saw that the energy in the black hole had begun to dissipate outward, like a ferocious beast ready to pounce and devour everything at any time.

A strong sense of crisis also surged in Link's heart.

He knew that if he did not take action, not only would Ashaji and others at the forefront of the battlefield be in danger, but the entire defense line might also collapse.

At this moment, he deeply felt the responsibility and mission on his shoulders.

"Sun disc, turn into armor!"

Link took a deep breath, and the hidden power in his body burst out instantly.

The golden armor was like the light of the sun, instantly condensing on his body, flashing with dazzling light.

This armor not only provided him with powerful defense, but also made him feel unprecedented power.

Then, a gorgeous white flag with angel patterns embroidered on it appeared in Link's hands like a divine object dropped from the sky.

This flag was the treasure of Jeanne d'Arc that he won in the lottery.

At this moment, it seemed to feel the determination and belief of the flag bearer, emitting a warm and dazzling light.

The platinum-colored angel flag fluttered in front of the crowd, accompanied by the wind blowing in the valley.

Link held the flag high, and the holy light power belonging to the paladin in his body was constantly surging at this time. The dazzling and warm light was like the first sun shining in the darkness, attracting everyone's attention!

He looked around, and those adventurers who were originally trembling with fear seemed to find a glimmer of hope and courage in his eyes.

"Listen! Adventurers who have come to this place called Rock Ridge, who are invincible with a single rider and a thousand men!"

Link's voice resounded across the battlefield like thunder: "Although some of you may have been mortal enemies, or may have come from towns that would never cross paths with each other. But now, at this moment, we are here fighting side by side! I! Link! Declare in the name of the gods! I will be your strong shield!"

His voice was full of strength and determination, as if it could penetrate the fear and confusion in people's hearts.

As his words fell, warm holy light surged in all directions like a tide, enveloping everyone in it.

This holy light not only heals their bodies, but also brings comfort and peace to their hearts.

Seeing this, the Goblin King was furious. He sped up his movements, trying to release the power of the holy weapon as quickly as possible to wipe out the enemies in front of him.

"Damn hero! Die!"

The Goblin King roared and poured all his strength into the holy weapon in his hand.

In an instant, the holy weapon that could only be used once turned into debris on the ground, and in the huge black hole, surging energy rushed out like a wild horse, forming a huge black beam of light, bombarding Link at the front of the Rock Ridge!

Faced with this devastating blow, Link did not flinch.

He held the angel flag tightly in his hand, with a determined light in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, golden light flickered above the flag, as if the power of an angel was protecting them.

"Gods! Protect my compatriots!"

Link shouted, raising the flag high.

"Luminosite Eternelle!!!"

This is a treasure transformed from the holy flag that Joan of Arc waved during her lifetime. It contains the blessing of angels and can protect the existence centered on this flag.

At this moment, at Link's call, the flag exerted its true power.

As the treasure was used, a light curtain made of light instantly appeared in front of everyone.

This light curtain was like an indestructible barrier, protecting everyone inside.

And the next moment, the black energy beam that was powerful enough to instantly annihilate a purple-gold level adventurer slammed heavily onto the light curtain!

"Oh!"

The huge bang, accompanied by a strong vibration, made everyone present tremble in their hearts.

However, to their surprise, the light curtain protecting them did not shake at all!

This light curtain seemed to be created by the gods themselves, it was indestructible!

The black energy that bombarded the light curtain was unable to penetrate and eventually dissipated, transforming into several small energy beams that fell on the surrounding ground.

Although the power of these energy beams was much weakened, they still caused considerable damage to the unprotected goblin army outside.

"How...How is this possible! Damn it! Damn it! How is this possible!"

The Goblin King looked at this scene as if he was mad.

It couldn't accept the fact that the holy weapon bestowed by the Goblin God in its hand was actually blocked by a human!

"A holy weapon! Yes! The flag in his hand must also be a holy weapon!"

The Goblin King finally understood the problem. He knew that he had met a real opponent this time.

In front of this man, it was almost impossible for his goblin army to cross the Stone Ridge.

Lost! It's all over!

The Goblin King's heart was filled with despair and unwillingness.

But it also understood that continuing to fight would only result in more deaths of its people, so it finally decided to retreat.

The black energy beam lasted for about ten seconds before gradually dissipating.

As the energy beam dissipated, the light curtain that protected everyone turned into a little bit of starlight and dissipated.

However, this short battle has completely changed the situation on the battlefield.

"Look! The Goblin King ran away!" someone shouted excitedly.

"Brothers! The time for counterattack has come! For Eos! For Blackstone Town! For the gods!"

Another adventurer waved his weapon and shouted excitedly.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with courage and determination. Under Link's leadership, they seemed to see the dawn of victory.

The power of holy light gathered again, and it seemed as if there were really angels guarding them above the flag.

Link waved the flag and led everyone to rush towards the goblin army that had begun to retreat.

Their figures shuttled across the battlefield like lightning, and goblins fell down wherever they went.

After Alicia leaned over and said something to the knight next to her, the knight quickly mounted his horse and left the battlefield, heading towards the city where Archbishop Celestine was.

Alicia knew that victory in this battle was within reach, and after watching the knight leave, Alicia breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart was filled with emotion and relief. She knew very well that this adventurer named Link was undoubtedly the new hero.

Not only can he lead them to victory in this battle, but he is also likely to become an opportunity to lead Eos towards true prosperity and stability!

136. Letters

On this side, Link did not show any hesitation or slackness. His steps were still firm and powerful as he stepped on the land baptized by war.

The surging magic power poured out of his body like a tide, interweaving with the overbearing domineering aura, forming an irresistible pressure, forcing the goblin army in front that was still trying to struggle to flee, as if they were escaping from some irresistible doom.

"Let's use it to put a perfect end to this battle!" Link's eyes flashed with determination and coldness. He slowly stretched out his right hand, and along with the appearance of a golden vortex, a seemingly "plain" knife appeared silently in his palm.

This knife has no gorgeous decorations and no dazzling light, but the faint luster flowing on it reveals an extraordinary aura.

Unpretentious?

Perhaps this is true in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Link could clearly feel the tremendous power contained in the sword and its resonance with the depths of his soul.

He gently stroked the blade, feeling the slight vibration coming from the blade, as if it was responding to his call, and as if it was excited for the upcoming battle.

Just as everyone around was wondering about this seemingly ordinary knife, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the plain blade, and then, a burst of extremely hot flame spread to the entire blade like a wild horse running away from its reins!

The flame was so hot and fierce that it seemed to be able to burn all obstacles.

"Everything in the world is reduced to ashes!"

Link's deep and powerful voice echoed in the air, and he raised the knife in his hand high, as if declaring his will to the heaven and earth.

"Ryujin Jakka! Shikai!"

"——Burning Hell!"

As Link finished his words, dozens of pillars of fire seemed to fall from the sky and suddenly rose up among the goblin army!

Each pillar of fire contained a high temperature that was enough to melt steel. Wherever it passed, whether it was the goblin's body or the surrounding grass, trees, and rocks, they were all instantly burned to nothingness.

The goblins that were caught in the pillar of fire didn't even have the chance to wail. In the next moment, they turned into ashes and disappeared in the sea of fire.

"How is this possible! How is this possible!"

The Goblin King roared in terror and ran madly, trying to escape from this horrific hell of fire.

However, a pillar of fire that reached the sky seemed to have locked onto it, following closely behind it as if it wanted to devour it completely.

"Why! Why does he possess such a powerful holy weapon! Why does fate play such a trick on me!"

The Goblin King cursed in despair, his voice filled with dissatisfaction and resentment towards the gods, as if he was mocking the injustice and cruelty of fate.

However, fate will not change because of its complaints.

The next moment, the figure of the Goblin King completely disappeared from everyone's sight in the raging fire, leaving only a scorched earth and endless fear.

Ryujin Jakka, the so-called strongest Zanpakutō, shows shocking power even when it is only in the Shikai state.

Although Link's power had increased greatly, even he couldn't maintain the blazing inferno in this state for long.

About ten seconds later, the dozens of sky-high pillars of fire gradually dissipated, leaving behind only a completely burned land.

When the pillar of fire finally dissipated, the land over a hundred kilometers in front of them had turned into a scorched earth. The once vibrant forest was now reduced to bare tree trunks and ashes on the ground.

However, above these ruins, there is a sense of victory.

Link looked at the scene before him, a faint smile on his face.

He knew that after the baptism of Ryujin Jakka, the goblin army had completely collapsed, and Lina seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and led the adventurers who came to support them to rush out and carry out a final siege on those goblins who had luckily survived the fiery hell to ensure that they would not make a comeback again.

Link, Anos, and Eller did not participate in the subsequent pursuit.

The long battle made them feel a little tired both physically and mentally. Although the magic power in their bodies could be quickly restored with the help of the Dragon's Heart, physical fatigue was not so easy to eliminate.

Therefore, after casting several healing spells to treat their injured companions, they followed Ashaji and others back to the village and began to rest and adjust their condition.

With the death of the Goblin King, the Goblin War gradually came to an end.

The goblin soldiers who had lost their leader became even more confused and almost defeated.

Lina took the opportunity to adopt a more daring offensive strategy. She sent several teams composed mainly of gold-level adventurers deep into the forest and infiltrated into the goblin ranks, carrying out precise strikes and decapitation operations against those goblin species with special abilities.

Relying on the natural advantages of the dangerous pass of Panshi Ridge, the human side gradually gained an absolute upper hand.

The balance of victory has completely tipped towards the human side, and Link, who had made great achievements in this battle, has not heard any praise or legend about himself.

Under the careful arrangements of Alicia and Lina, all information and rumors about Link were strictly blocked within Rock Ridge.

They knew very well that it was not a good thing for Link to be exposed to the public too early.

After all, the Seven Shields Alliance today is not a monolithic entity, and intrigues and deceptions are happening every day.

In the Seven Shields Alliance, there are many nobles who do not want to see the emergence of heroes, because the rise of heroes often disrupts their originally luxurious and stable life and brings unknown variables and challenges.

It can be said that once Link's message gets out, there will be countless troubles in the future.

Link was quite happy with all of this.

After the battle of Rock Ridge stabilized, he bid farewell to Guild President Lina and returned to the mercenary base with Ashaji and a group of beauties to rest.

However, it wasn't long before Link received a letter from President Lina.

He opened the envelope and read the contents carefully:

Dear Link:

Leader of the Black Dragon Mercenary Group, Link, I have learned about your heroic performance in the Battle of Rock Ridge through the adventurers on the scene. I am sincerely happy and proud that you stood up at the most dangerous moment and led everyone to protect the land that belongs to mankind.

Perhaps you still have doubts and confusions about your abilities. Princess Alicia has some guesses about this, and hopes that you can go with her to the "First Fortress" of the Seven Shields Fortresses to meet the High Priestess "Celestine Lucullus", who is known as the reincarnation of the goddess. She is a wise man with profound wisdom and power, and may be able to further verify and guide you.

However, before that, I have another important favor to ask of you. I just received news that a large group of thieves suddenly appeared outside Mislina City while most of the adventurers in the North were gathering at the Rock Ridge to clear out the goblins. Their whereabouts were secretive and their methods were cruel, which posed a great threat to the local people. The climate in the North is already harsh, and now the severe winter is approaching. If these thieves continue to wreak havoc, I am afraid that the lives of the people in Mislina City and the surrounding areas will be even worse, and they may even find it difficult to survive this cold winter.

Therefore, I hope you can lead the team to Mislina City as soon as possible to find out the details of this gang of thieves and solve this crisis at an appropriate time. I believe that with your strength and wisdom, you will be able to live up to everyone's expectations and complete this mission.

When you return to Blackrock Town after the mission is completed, I will prepare two generous mission rewards for you, and you will definitely not be disappointed. By then, Princess Alicia will also be waiting for your return in Blackrock Town, and she will take you to the First Fortress.
