An ordinary battle between High-Level Professionals, even between demigods, was still just a battle. But if both sides were Life-type, and fully intact Life-type at that...
"This is a war."
Lu PingAn looked around. His war profession had been fully activated. Even by the narrow definition of warfare—"more than a thousand combatants on each side"—the current scene fully qualified.
Amid layers of encirclement and protection, Commander Lu PingAn raised his right hand and clenched it sharply.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A chain of Corpse Bombs cleared a vast stretch of the battlefield.
"Black Knight? Black Holy Grail?"
The one who reacted most strongly to this scene was Lu PingAn's opponent, Barn.
How could Barn, an archbishop of the Mother Goddess Church, fail to recognize this familiar sight, this unique path of the Mother Goddess Church?
This time, he no longer had any doubts. Judging from reality, this "Gardener" truly was Chris's successor. After that demigod's fall, Lu PingAn might have been the only new Black Holy Grail Holder, the most terrifying King of War under the Mother Goddess path.
"Realm of Delight."
He calmly spread his palm, and phantasmal blooming flowers blossomed upon his magical pets.
A pale green layer of "turf" swiftly spread over the ground and across the magical pets. The entire world suddenly transformed into a "woodland."
While buffing one's magical pets was standard practice for a Beast Tamer, Lu PingAn had indeed rarely encountered such a situation in actual combat.
"This is... rage?!"
Furious emotions surged over from Chris's side, mixed with sorrow and genuine killing intent.
Even when Barn had confirmed his betrayal, Big Cat had never felt such violent bloodlust.
This scene seemed even more intolerable to Chris than Barn blocking Lu PingAn's path and speaking words of blasphemy and betrayal.
"...Lady Lin's power."
Those words
