The game has become a real alternate world
Chapter 996 - 677: Angel Guardians
The guards need to be deployed.
And Kana lacks nothing in terms of manpower to allocate.
The tree crown swayed gently, and a dense shower of blood-colored leaves fluttered down.
Each falling leaf was connected to the trunk by a slender thread, swaying gently in the breeze. These threads interlinked, as if weaving an invisible net.
The dangling blood-colored leaves swayed densely, nearly obscuring the entire sky.
Amidst this chaotic movement, holy power quietly gathered.
Not long after, two holy beings appeared.
A pair of large silver wings wrapped them tightly, and as the wings slowly opened, the beings inside were revealed in full view.
They were two beautiful holy daughters, wearing mighty armor, with a pair of holy feathers expanding behind them, emitting a soft glow under the sunlight.
Especially striking were the blood-colored halos atop their heads, resembling angels' descent.
These were a pair of angel sisters directly created by Kana.
Although essentially they still belonged to puppets, they possessed independent personalities, souls, and wills. This was undoubtedly one of Kana's proud creations.
One of the angels gripped dual swords tightly, while the other held a scepter.
Kana originally intended to give them the Dragon Spears, but reconsidered and abandoned the idea.
After all, in the impending battle, he might still need them himself. Facing such formidable opponents like the Evil Rats, there could be no negligence.
Both angels had reached Level Thirteen. If they were to join forces in battle, they could certainly contend with Level Fourteen powerhouses and hold their ground, even if they fell into disadvantage.
Given the current situation, unless the Evil God's true form descended personally, breaking through the two angels' tight defense would be impossible.
"My Lord." The two angels flew before Kana and respectfully bowed.
Kana nodded slightly: "Go, protect this place well."
The angels acknowledged the command, nodded again, and then gracefully flew towards the big tree.
Upon reaching the base of the tree, they transformed into two lifelike statues, standing quietly.
After completing all this, Kana gently withdrew his power. At this moment, the sword blade reverted to a compact Frost Dragon, which flew back to his side.
"Alright, everyone, you can take a well-deserved rest now. Greater challenges await you ahead."
All the Night Watchers witnessed this scene, unable to suppress their cheers. Although they might not fully comprehend the marvelous power Kana exerted, they could genuinely feel the leader Kana's mighty strength.
Moreover, the thought of dealing with the rats next boosted everyone's morale.
To them, hunting rats was far easier than battling Void Creatures.
Rats neither continuously attack one's spirit nor temporarily lock the HP limit upon contact.
Compared to this, fighting rats felt as relaxing as a holiday.
After addressing the local issues and discussing the subsequent action plan with the managing personnel, Kana proceeded through the Teleportation Gate, leaving the place.
Back in Ring Tower City, Kana saw the presence of Holy Light forces all over the town.
Holy Knights, Paladins, and Priests were shuffling back and forth in the city.
They moved in groups of three to five, glancing here and there, occasionally engaging in cordial conversations with the city's residents.
Ring Tower City always had members of the Holy Light Church active here, but never in such large numbers as now.
Kana reached the meeting room and, as expected, found the members of the Holy Light Church already present.
Bobo nodded at Kana upon his arrival.
Kana adjusted his attire and walked forward with a smile.
"Princess Vionasha, it has been a while."
Sword Saintess Vionasha looked at Kana and smiled, nodding in response, "You too, Prince Kana."
Vionasha gazed at Kana and seemed slightly lost in thought.
She sharply discerned that Kana's power had surpassed hers.
Although previously she had heard from other legendary warriors that among the Night Watchers was a legendary presence of extraordinary power, she hadn't expected him to be Kana.
After all, back when Kana was still quite weak, she had met him and even fought alongside him.
At that time, she had been immersed in the Legendary Stage for quite some time, while Kana was far from the Legendary Realm, even distant from its threshold.
Yet now, meeting again, Kana had grown into an existence she could not reach, having reached the peak of the Legendary Stage.
Thinking of this, Vionasha shook her head helplessly, feeling deep emotion about the unimaginable changes in the world.
Perhaps only beings as powerful as Kana could lead everyone in resisting the crisis about to come.
"I didn't expect you to come personally this time," Kana said with a smile, then sat in the main seat.
Vionasha smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "As an Evil God, the Evil Rats pose a great threat to the whole world. In any case, our Holy Light Church should assist full-heartedly in eliminating it."
Saying this, Vionasha turned to introduce the person beside her to Kana: "This is the Holy Light Judge of the Holy Light Church—Prustan."
Sitting beside her was a tall Legendary Knight, wearing thick armor, standing about two meters tall.
A head of golden hair splashed behind him, resembling the mane of a lion.
The heavy armor bore a myriad of scars left by war, attesting to his glorious achievements of the past.
On his face, there were also several wounds that were difficult to heal, yet they did not mar his unique aura.
He seemed wild and untamed, yet gave off a sense of solemnity and seriousness; he appeared dignified and majestic, yet had a gentle and calm air.
He smiled and nodded at Kana: "I've heard much of your name, the savior Prophet."
This was the common appellation for Kana among the legendary figures of external forces.
Kana smiled and nodded in response.
He could tell that the level of this Holy Light Judge was also 13, the same as Vionasha.
This clearly showed the Holy Light Church's emphasis and support for the Night Watchers' operation and this alliance.
Moreover, there were a large number of Holy Knights and Priest forces arriving here.
This undoubtedly injected a powerful booster into the Night Watchers, akin to giving the arduous war a shot of adrenaline.
Everyone first chatted casually for a bit, then the representative of the Holy Light Church made it clear that they would follow the unified arrangement of the Night Watchers.
After the formal matters were discussed, the conversation turned to some casual topics, enhancing mutual connections.
In the conversation, Kana couldn't miss the sense of helplessness in the Holy Light Church's predicament.
As the world's only church, or rather, the only widely recognized orthodox church, the Holy Light Church's adherence to the doctrine of Holy Light, itself a tangible energy body, guaranteed their essence of righteousness.
This trait assured their commitment to justice and, coupled with their promise not to meddle in the internal political affairs of various countries, the Holy Light Church became the largest neutral institution, naturally serving as an essential link among diverse forces.
It must be acknowledged that thanks to the Holy Light Church's existence, the wars and conflicts between nations in the past century have significantly decreased. Compared to before, the frequency of warfare at least dropped by more than half.
With a universally accepted venue for negotiations, many disputes then had the potential for resolution through dialogue.
Nonetheless, precisely for this reason, some deeper issues were not thoroughly resolved but quietly accumulated under the surface of peace.
These contradictions built up over time, grew increasingly numerous, and finally exploded now.
Currently, Most countries and forces have conflicts so intense that they have reached a near fever-pitch level, and the Holy Light Church also feels deeply powerless at this time.
What they can do at present is to exert all efforts in rescuing civilians.
Meanwhile, the Night Watchers provided them with massive material support and numerous shelters, ensuring smooth conduct of rescue operations.
Yet in this global chaos, many of the Holy Light Church's main forces were entangled in other wars, unable to withdraw, and not able to play their intended roles. Thus, they were dispatched here to partake in the fight against the Evil Rats.
During the conversation, Vionasha also expressed her deep concern about internal conflicts within the Elf Race.
She was not only a member of the Holy Light Church but also part of the Elf Race.
In the current complex situation, she could not favor any party.
She knew well the numerous problems in the upper echelons of the Elf Race, such as corruption and decadence, as well as complex inter-tribal conflicts.
Faced with these thorny issues but being powerless to change, she chose to temporarily flee, coming here and opting not to confront dilemmas that couldn't be solved in the short term.
