Large gashes suddenly opened across the Forest Fairy's loosely curled right hand, spraying white sap.
The next instant, the cage imprisoning Yang Yi fell apart. Vines were sliced apart like vegetables, shattering as a black figure darted out.
It was Yang Yi, but his appearance had changed drastically. Black fragments constantly flaked off the Penitent Armor he wore. The patterns on the armor seemed to writhe, inducing dizziness on close inspection and giving off a blasphemous, evil air.
His sword stance was different from before, too: a textbook two-handed greatsword opening stance, with the greatsword held upright to the right of his body.
This required not only strength but also prolonged training to carry a distinctive presence merely by holding a sword, as though tempered through countless trials!
And that was indeed the case.
Facing the vines closing in around him again, Yang Yi merely swung his greatsword casually and severed them all, though many were simply smashed apart by brute force.
Yang Yi was in a strange state now. He had inexplicably learned swordsmanship, as though he had practiced for a long time, and his body reacted instinctively.
He even knew some radiance spells!
Yang Yi charged toward the Forest Fairy like a black meteor, the fragments scattering behind him tracing an arc.
Every vine that tried to block his path was sliced apart, or even brutally smashed through. They could not stop him at all, and he did not dodge any attacks.
He soon reached the Forest Fairy and raised his sword overhead with both hands, unleashing a dazzling, blinding light.
It was one of the Radiant Holy Church's signature spells, Supreme Holy Slash.
