Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Four Holy Spirit Angels, one Goblin Airship.

“It’s the Silver Knights! Run!” Negris exclaimed.

Lightning immediately lowered its altitude, dashing diagonally downward.

The area where Dark City is located is under patrol of the Silver Knights, with Goblin Airships and Holy Spirits on constant watch, and Ange and his team were unlucky enough to meet them.

Lightning had just learned to run in mid-air and was not very proficient at it. After running for a while, it realized it couldn’t outrun them and roared, “Fight them, why are we running?”

Little Angel gave a “roar” and jumped up, simultaneously spinning halfway to face backwards.

Little Zombie skillfully grabbed its ankle, preventing it from being thrown off the horse, presumably Little Angel’s “roar” meant: hold on.

Facing one of the Holy Spirits, Little Angel spread its wings, and a beam of light flickered for a moment.

Negris only got the chance to shout out, “Don’t….”

A Holy Spirit was hit by the beam of light, its body melting away by more than half, smoking as it began to spin downwards.

The Little Angel that just unleashed its Holy Light was dragged back by Little Zombie, straddling backward, and flaunted to Ange with a flourish: “roar, roar!”

“Good!” Lightning quickly glanced back, gave a nod of approval, and then turned to Negris, “Why not? What a timid dragon you are, you’re always making me run, let’s fight then.”

Negris glanced at it grudgingly: “You think ‘Holy Light Flash’ is your specialty? What if they can use it too?”

Whether it was Negris’s ominous words or the reminder from Little Angel, two out of the remaining three Holy Spirit Angels suddenly paused.

Negris’s heart sank. How unlucky could they be to face what they feared the most? If the enemies truly unleashed Holy Light Flash while they were exposed in the sky, they had no way to dodge.

Crack crack, he quickly stuffed the ‘Unicorn’s Blessing Plaques’ he had just scammed from Lightning’s mom into both Little Zombie and Little Angel’s arms.

“What about me? What about me? Give me one, give me one!” Lightning shouted anxiously.

“You yourself are a unicorn!” Negris roared.

“Oh, right, but unicorns can’t withstand Holy Light Flash either!!” Lightning shouted in panic, starting to frantically change its direction, trying to keep the Holy Spirit Angel from having a lock on it.

The two suspended Holy Spirit Angels began to glow with Holy Light.

Ange jumped into the air, and the ghostly figure of Steadfast Locke suddenly appeared in front of him, then collided with Ange – Ultimate Transformation Technique.

Transformed into Steadfast Locke, Ange cut down with his scythe, bam!

The light from the energy clash burst out, illuminating the entire sky. The beam of light was actually split open by Ange. Yes, split open. The light beam exploded to either side, creating a visual effect of being split in half.

Then, Ange was hit squarely by the second beam of light.

The purple gold skeleton smoked, rolling backward in mid-air. Finally, with a somersault, Ange sat back on Lightning’s back, the scorching bones of his body burning Lightning, causing it to squawk in protest.

“Are you okay? Are you okay, Ange?” Negris craned his neck, asking worriedly.

Ange’s purple gold skeleton was gleaming brightly, sizzling and emitting white smoke. The leftover energy of Holy Light let out small sparks and quickly went out. The Body of Mourning remained unscathed.

Within less than ten seconds, the purple gold color faded, and Ange turned back into his original gray skeleton.

Negris sighed in relief and quickly said, “Run fast, if the third Holy Spirit starts to unleash Holy Light, we’re finished.”

Their luck didn’t run that low; the third Holy Spirit didn’t unleash Holy Light and instead chased after them relentlessly.

The Goblin Airship behind them sped up, caught up with the two Holy Spirits that had unleashed Holy Light and dragged them onto the ship.

Then they chased the third Holy Spirit which hadn’t unleashed Holy Light and was still relentlessly pursuing Ange and his team. The bow crossbow shot out a large net, which directly ensnared it and towed it back.

Afterward, the Goblin Airship also turned its course, heading off in a different direction, not chasing any longer.

Lightning gradually slowed down, everyone watching the Goblin Airship leave, heart still racing.

Despite the small scale of the situation, it was one of the most dangerous situations Ange and his team had ever faced since they started out. The main reason was their exposure in the sky, and the astonishing power of the enemy’s ‘Holy Light Flash’. If it weren’t for the ‘Ultimate Transformation Technique’, they wouldn’t have known what to do.

“If you didn’t have the ‘Ultimate Transformation Technique’, what would have been your plan?” Negris couldn’t help but ask: to take everyone into the Resting Palace and withstand it himself, or use the largest Lightning to withstand it?

Ange tilted his head and dragged a purple gold skeleton missing its right hand out from the Resting Palace.

“Uh, yes, you could use Locke to block it, that’s really smart.” Negris couldn’t help but laugh: Steadfast Locke, you also have a day being used as a shield.

But then he thought about how he himself had been used as a shield before too, and Negris couldn’t laugh anymore.

“Why are there so many high-level Holy Spirits who can unleash Holy Light Flash? Last time, you mentioned running into one when you were dealing with the Silver Knights. Why are there so many? During the ‘Heaven’s Descent’, there was only one high-level Holy Spirit.” Lightning couldn’t help but ask.

Negris didn’t find it strange: “If you had the chance to bring home your boss’s stuff, wouldn’t you go for the high-end ones? Presumably, those high-end Holy Spirits have long been divided up and cleaned out by the internal forces of the Church of Light.”

“Ah? Internal forces? Does Anthony count?” Lightning asked.

“Of course. He’s one of the top ones, you actually think he didn’t get a share? He’s practically torn the Church of Light apart.” Negris retorted.
