Chapter 480: Battle of Demigods
After refining the remnant soul of the Undead Lord, Princess Marta of Offland also regained her freedom.
More than 3,000 years ago, the Offlan Wizard Organization and the Church of Dawn were hostile forces. Three divine wars broke out between the Dawn Goddess and the Rule Wizards, and the demigod Catherine and Marta also had a head-on confrontation.
Relatives on both sides have died at the hands of their opponents, and it can be said that they have developed a deep hatred.
While the wizards were fighting with the gods, they happened to encounter the invasion of the undead king. As a last resort, the wizard and the gods formed an alliance, and together they defeated the Undead Lord.
During this battle, the regular wizards suffered more casualties. One of the four regular wizards died and another was seriously injured. However, because the gods’ life-saving methods were stronger than the regular wizards, no one was injured.
Not long after the undead king was expelled, the second war broke out between the Rule Wizard and the Seven Gods. This time the Rule Wizard was completely defeated, and finally entered the star sea on a floating battleship.
Because of such grudges, although Marta has regained her freedom at this moment, she is still frightened in her heart. She was deeply afraid that Kathleen would kill someone if she disagreed with her.
Seeing Richard and the others staring at her, as if they were about to attack at any moment, Marta thought to herself: "Although the remnant soul of the wizard has obtained two points of divinity according to the rules of refining death, it takes time to refine these two points of divinity. You cannot improve your strength at this moment.
Moreover, his soul had just experienced a cruel battle, and his mental space was damaged. He needed a long time to cultivate. He had lost the strength to fight and was unable to compete with a demigod.
No matter what, now I have become a piece of fish on the board, let them do whatever they want! "
Marta is the daughter of a rules wizard, her status is no less than that of the Son of God. She has been pampered since she was a child and has an unusually unruly personality. Even if someone is a swordsman and I am a fish, I still can't help but beg for mercy from the enemy.
She knew in her heart that if she were in another position, she would never let her enemy go.
Katherine looked at Marta in the coffin, and her heart suddenly felt mixed.
If it were placed three thousand years ago, Kathleen would never hesitate at all. She would definitely kill this man and avenge her companions and relatives.
Time is the best medicine. More than three thousand years have passed, and the hatred has slowly faded away. Although Kathleen still misses her relatives and friends occasionally, she doesn't have much desire for revenge.
The most critical point is that Catherine ignited the divine fire and was promoted to demigod.
If a transcendent becomes a god, he will inevitably be assimilated by the power of faith to a certain extent. Although Katherine has not condensed a godhead, she has actually worked hard towards the two vocations of god, spring, and healing.
The reason why she was the first to come from the Kingdom of God was also for this reason.
Because Harland led the vigorous development of the medical industry and built dozens of hospitals, saving hundreds of thousands of lives every year, believers would naturally give birth to a huge power of faith. Harland restricted the preaching of other religions, and a large part of this power of faith fell on Catherine.
When Catherine came this time, she not only wanted to stabilize the situation in the Red Moon Plane, but also wanted to take advantage of the best time to directly become a god. She even thought about the title of the Goddess Queen, and called her the Goddess of Life.
Since she is determined to become a kind god, Catherine will naturally not violate the beliefs of believers and become a god who must retaliate. After all, she does not need to use fear, temptation, etc. to allow believers to provide the power of faith. So after a little weighing in her mind, Kathleen decided to let her enemy go.
"Princess Marta, do you want to stay here, or return to Auxerre with me."
Upon hearing what Katherine said, Princess Marta was shocked. Her eyes suddenly showed a glimmer of hope, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
More than 3,000 years ago, Princess Mata knew that the Goddess of Dawn had a moral obsession and would often take action to protect weak mortals.
Although the wizarding plane of the White Tower has developed an outstanding wizarding civilization, he is actually a country bumpkin. He has only been exposed to the red moon and azure planes, and has never seen such kind gods or even understood the power of faith. Not deep either.
Although she despises this kind of moral saint in her heart, when it was her turn, Marta was still grateful to Kathleen from the bottom of her heart, and even developed feelings of respect for her.
Marta knew clearly in her heart: "If you continue to stay in the princess mausoleum, you will fall into a precarious environment. Even if the Church of Dawn does not deal with you, thousands of people participated in the war today, and the news will inevitably leak. Other divine churches, legendary magicians, and even Orcs, demigods, high-level demons, and elves will all rush over to take advantage. When the time comes, after he falls asleep, he will be unable to stop the steady stream of enemies.
Kathleen's words actually saved her own life. "
"I am willing to believe in the Goddess of Dawn and be sheltered under the goddess's wings. I am also willing to obey the goddess's orders after recovering from my injuries. However, Sir Catherine, my belief may not be pious."
Catherine knew that Marta was a legendary fourth-level magician. This type of people basically had no faith. They only believed in themselves and would not believe in any gods from their hearts. Even Catherine herself is not very devout in her belief in the Goddess of the Dawn. After more than three thousand years of following her, she has barely reached the standard of a true believer.
Katherine herself is like this, and of course she will not force Marta to truly believe in the goddess.
"Faith always comes from the heart. We will not force anyone to believe in the goddess. In fact, most of the magicians in the church are not religious, including the two legendary magicians around me. They will not believe in the goddess from the heart. Deeply believe in the goddess.
The love of the Goddess of Dawn is inclusive. She loves everyone. No matter who leaves the church, the Goddess will not stop them. Instead, she will send blessings and hope that those who leave will get good luck. "
"I know that the goddess of dawn is a benevolent deity and a great deity. I am willing to follow Her Highness Catherine to Auxerre Castle to recuperate."
Catherine nodded, waved her hand and released a legendary magic to Marta to repair her soul. A magical aura entered Marta's body, and the nearly collapsed mental space immediately stabilized, and there was a faint momentum of recovery. In another seven or eight days, the injury of the mental space will be completely stabilized. .
Catherine is a demigod. The legendary magic she released is extremely effective, equivalent to four ordinary legendary magics. In addition, her priesthood is oriented towards life and treatment. When releasing life and treatment magic, it has a more powerful blessing effect, which is equivalent to ten times that of a legendary magician.
One spell saved Marta ten years of work.
Seeing this scene, Marta couldn't help but widen her eyes. In her perception, Catherine was much stronger than her brother Vera who mastered half of the rules.
Seeing that Marta's injuries had recovered for the most part, Catherine immediately left the Princess's Tomb and prepared to return to the Dawn Cathedral, and enter the Red Moon Plane to take charge after a while.
Seeing Catherine turn around and leave, Marta pushed open the crystal coffin and immediately followed Catherine. Archbishop Senna also turned around and prepared to follow Catherine back to the Dawn Cathedral headquarters.
Now that Marta's father, the Origin of Fire, Savia, has fallen, and her brother Vera has left this plane on a floating battleship, she can only follow the Dawn Church for a short time. After all, compared with external forces, she has a high trust in Catherine.
Senna has been guarding the Princess's Tomb for eleven years. Senna has figured out most of the magic knowledge that Marta has mastered. Although the Princess's Tomb is a large magic well, Senna does not want to occupy it.
Now that Richard has been promoted to a legend, he no longer needs his care. Senna wants to return to the headquarters of the Dawn Cathedral in Auxerre.
After Senna and Marta followed Catherine back to Auxerre, the priests of Harland and the Church of Dawn began to divide the spoils.
First, there were thousands of soul crystals, half of which went to each family, and then the magic books in the princess's tomb, which both sides also copied.
Finally, the output of the magic plants in the princess's tomb. Harland and the Church of Dawn discussed and decided to take out one-third to offset the church's tithe.
Since the establishment of Harland, the Church of Dawn has been exempted from the tithe because it is on the front line.
Now that the orcs have been defeated, it is a bit unreasonable not to pay taxes, so they simply use this part of the magic plants to make up for the gap.
Now Harland is of great help to the Church of Dawn, and Richard's wife is still fighting for the Church of Dawn in the Red Moon Plane, so the church's top leaders are easy to talk to. Although according to common sense, the tithe tax should be paid one-tenth of the tax, according to the situation of Harland, it needs to pay about 800,000 gold coins each year.
But since Richard made this request, and now it is time to keep warm together, the church headquarters is naturally unwilling to pursue it.
Soon after Catherine returned, she went to the Red Moon Plane. Marta, a legendary fourth-level master, also went to the Red Moon Plane.
Marta had the Soul Bell, a divine artifact made by the Rule Wizard. After using it, it can not only protect a person's soul from extinction, but also transform it into a soul energy body, allowing a professional to have the special abilities of gods and demigods in advance. It can also use the Soul Bell to attack the enemy's soul. Without strong defensive means, ordinary legends can't stand it at all.
Although the Soul Bell is not good at attacking power, Marta is actually a weakened demigod master with the artifact.
After Catherine went down to the world and saved Marta with kindness, the Dawn Church actually had three demigod-level masters. If the gods did not fight, they would be almost the same as the Holy Glorious Empire.
After Catherine and Marta entered the Red Moon Plane, the Dawn Papal State immediately issued an order to launch a counterattack across the board.
After Richard arranged Harland's political affairs, he also took a group of elites to personally participate in the battle.
In a blink of an eye, time entered the 3281st year of the Dawn Calendar.
After more than a year of continuous strengthening, Harland Territory has expanded 20,000 soldiers in the Red Moon Plane, of which 10,000 are drawn from Harland Territory's elite, and the remaining 10,000 are recruited from the Red Moon Plane.
In addition to the new recruits expanded this year, Harland Territory has an army of about 60,000 in the Red Moon Plane.
After receiving the order of the Dawn Church to launch a full-scale counterattack, Harland Territory's army immediately turned into sharp arrows, and the magic crystal cannon once again showed its power, easily conquering Pangle, Polya, Corolla and other strong cities, directly breaking through the Red Moon Church's defense line, once again defeating the legendary magician Sussman, and killing the legendary third-level warrior Amata.
After this battle, in order to stop Richard's troops, Red Moon Pope Gloria personally went to battle.
Gloria is a legendary fourth-level priest. Although she has no artifacts in her hands, her combat power is that of a first-tier expert. Richard alone cannot resist her at all.
Fortunately, Sophia is by her side, and she also has a legendary fourth-level magic item, the Starlight Necklace, so she can fight Gloria.
Gloria finally got the upper hand, and Marta immediately came out in person. She held the Soul Bell and used magic to shake it gently. Gloria suddenly felt confused, as if she fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that her pope was in danger, the saint body of the Red Moon Goddess finally couldn't help but appear.
Although the main body was sealed by the Holy Grail of Dawn and could only invest a small part of its power, and its real combat power was only at the demigod level, the saint body of the Red Moon Goddess was still very tricky and much stronger than ordinary demigods.
The divine body of the saint is not only powerful in magic, but also has an extraordinary ability in physical combat. Although the Red Moon Goddess is not a melee professional, the strength of this saint body is more than 200 points. The body is extremely hard, and every punch and kick has a powerful destructive power, like a superman.
Ordinary legendary warriors cannot fight with the saint body at all.
Even if Catherine and Marta join forces, plus the covenant party hidden in the dark, the three demigod-level combat forces cannot kill the Red Moon Goddess's body of the saint, and only cause serious injuries to the enemy.
Although the Red Moon Goddess escaped, Gloria was not so lucky. She was first attacked by Princess Marta with a divine weapon, and her soul was confused. Then she was attacked by Richard and Sophia. She had almost no resistance and her body was destroyed.
Although the legendary fourth-level priest has a powerful soul, he has not been purified by the power of the source sea, and has not been transformed into a soul energy body. He cannot store too much magic power, let alone immortality.
Gloria is a priest of the gods, and the Red Moon Goddess is not an evil god. Her position is in the neutral camp, which means that Gloria will definitely not take the evil resurrection method like Elena.
Seeing that the situation is not good, Gloria immediately recites the holy words, and her soul disappears in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it falls into the artifact held by the Red Moon Goddess.
In Gloria's case, as long as she finds a girl who has died not long ago in a short time, she can use the girl's body to recover, but if she wants to restore the strength of the fourth level of legend, she will have to wait at least 30 years.
The battle between the demigods was extremely fierce, and even the high mountains in the south of Corolla were cut off by the powerful force.
After this battle, the power of the Red Moon Church was defeated and quickly withdrew from the central Deen Continent and retreated to the southern Hagen Continent.
Although the Red Moon Plane is a complete world, its area is not large. The land area is only 24 million square kilometers, and the ocean area is about 60 million square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to 16% of the area of the earth in Richard's previous life.
The total area of the Central Continent of the Dawn Plane alone is roughly over 150 million square kilometers. Although the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are not as vast and rich as the Central Continent, their total area is close to 90 million square kilometers. Add to that the ocean of over 800 million square kilometers, and the total area of the Dawn Plane is larger than the two Earths in Richard's previous life.
