Forbidden Spell: Raging Sea

Chapter 27: Forbidden Spell—Raging Sea

The gods of the Temple of Light had arrived on the Vakanda Plane through the Plane Teleportation Array barely a little over a century ago.

If not for the betrayal of these high-ranking officials who had originally belonged to the Frost Snow Empire, how could they have occupied thirty percent of the Frost Snow Empire's territory in just over a century?

"Damn it!"

Watching Locke's departing back, the Temple of Light's Saint-level High Priest's face alternated between red and pale. He tightened his grip around his magic staff, but in the end, he still did not make a move.

Just as Locke had said, more than twenty years ago, the Frost Snow Empire had lost a Saint-level Expert and over eighty thousand elite soldiers to the Temple of Light.

Now that the Frost Snow Empire had returned, they might not have been absolutely certain of victory, but they were at least evenly matched with their side.

At the very least, this Temple of Light High Priest felt that Locke was stronger than himself.

"It seems I must speed up the search for pure souls."

"I only need to find one more, and my strength will definitely undergo another massive increase."

Why else would people like them betray the Frost Snow Empire at the risk of being killed by the Frost Snow Emperor?

Was it not because the Temple of Light could ignore talent and rapidly increase their strength?

They only needed to find a woman with a pure soul and sacrifice her to the Overgod. The Overgod would then grant them blessings and greatly increase their strength.

Before finding someone with a "pure soul," these people all kept quiet.

However, once they found one, they swiftly defected and declared themselves forces under the Temple of Light.

A pure soul could raise the strength of nobles with poor talent by at least two levels.

If they were already Level 9 powerhouses, they could even advance directly into the Saint level.

It could be said that every high-ranking member of the Temple of Light had risen by sacrificing the people under their command.

Although Locke was the commander of the Tsunami Legion, he knew his own limitations.

His strength might have been respectable, but he had virtually no experience commanding a legion in battle.

Therefore, Locke directly delegated authority.

The several divisions of the Frost Snow Legion were each personally commanded by their respective division commanders.

It had to be said that although Bolton had a poor temperament, he had a good eye for people.

Without Saint-level Experts entering the battle, even though the Tsunami Legion's mage corps was far inferior to the enemy's, they still crushed the Temple of Light's knight order.

Over three years, the Tsunami Legion had directly reclaimed territory nearly half the size of the Bidia Territory.

It could be said that if Locke could completely hold back the Temple of Light's two Saint-level Experts, the Tsunami Legion could fully reclaim this territory.

Boom!

That day, the Tsunami Legion and the Temple of Light's knight order began another fierce battle.

A powerful aura spread from the Temple of Light's camp.

Three years had passed. The Saint-level Experts could act!

Sensing the aura of the Saint-level Expert in their camp, the Temple of Light's soldiers immediately erupted in deafening cheers.

These three years could be said to have been the most humiliating three years for the Holy Knight Order.

Of a full hundred thousand knights, fewer than thirty thousand remained.

How could knights who had wiped out a Frost Snow Empire legion more than twenty years ago accept such a result?

But now, things were different.

Their High Priest and Knight Commander could finally act.

As long as the High Priest and Knight Commander killed the Frost Snow Empire's legion commander on the other side, they could avenge themselves and slaughter all the enemy soldiers.

This was also why these knights had not collapsed even after fighting for so long.

Their defeat did not count as a true defeat.

They only needed to endure until the three-year period was over, until the High Priest and Knight Commander led them to victory!

To the Temple of Light's Pope and Ceres, the people of the Vakanda Plane were all sources of the Power of Faith. Even if they wanted to gather the Power of Faith through war, they would not allow the people under their command to suffer devastating casualties.

Therefore, each side had sent exactly one hundred thousand soldiers into battle.

At present, the Frost Snow Empire still had nearly sixty thousand soldiers remaining.

Although the Temple of Light's knights had soaring morale, the Frost Snow Empire's soldiers were no less spirited.

The High Priest and Knight Commander could act, but so could Lord Locke, commander of their Tsunami Legion!

Indeed, more than twenty years ago, the Temple of Light's High Priest and Knight Commander had killed the commander of the Fifth Legion, proving that they were formidable.

However, the Tsunami Legion's soldiers had not forgotten the battle between Lord Locke and Lord Bolton three years ago.

The Temple of Light's High Priest and Knight Commander had needed an entire day to kill the Fifth Legion's commander even while attacking him together.

Lord Locke had killed Lord Bolton in less than ten seconds once he got serious.

From this, it seemed that Lord Locke's strength was absolutely above that of both the Temple of Light's High Priest and Knight Commander.

Of course, this was also because the soldiers did not really understand the differences in strength among Saint-level Experts.

Still, there was nothing wrong with their conclusion.

Boom!

The Saint-level Expert opposite him had made a move, and naturally, Locke would not remain idle.

A powerful aura erupted from Locke's body, instantly suppressing the auras of the Temple of Light's two Saint-level Experts.

"S-Saint-level peak?"

Sensing Locke's aura, the two Saint-level Experts from the Temple of Light immediately went pale.

The reason they had been able to advance to the Saint level was merely because they had sacrificed pure souls in exchange for the Overgod's blessing.

The High Priest was slightly better off. After advancing to the Saint level, his years of using magic had allowed him to comprehend a trace of the Profound Mystery of Water Element, making him several times stronger than the Knight Commander.

However, in terms of rank, the High Priest was at most a mid-stage Saint-level Expert.

The Knight Commander was even worse off.

Although the Overgod's blessing had allowed him to comprehend "Unity of Heaven and Man," several decades had passed, and aside from having deeper battle qi, his strength was not much different from what it had been decades ago.

What about Locke?

His comprehension of the Illusionary Fog laws had reached "ten percent," successfully allowing him to step into the realm of Saint-level peak.

Before Locke, the two of them were simply far too weak.

Since he had already made his move, Locke no longer held back. He flew into the sky above the battlefield, his immense Magic Power resonating with the countless water elements between heaven and earth.

In an instant, endless water elements formed a massive black vortex in the sky, as though it would swallow heaven and earth whole.

"Water Forbidden Spell—Raging Waves!"

Spreading his arms wide, Locke's roar echoed across the entire battlefield.

Under the despairing gazes of the Temple of Light's soldiers, the enormous black vortex descended from the sky like a hundred-meter-high whirlpool tsunami, drowning them...
