I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

The moment he finished speaking, Marquis Voban's emerald-green pupils emitted a sinister glow. Any ordinary person caught in that gaze would be overcome by boundless fear, their body turning into white blocks of salt.

"Sodom's Eye..."

Phoenix noticed the abnormality in her body, and her gaze darkened slightly.

The part of her body that had been caught in Marquis Voban's authority, "Sodom's Eye," had turned into white salt blocks. However, Phoenix merely glanced at it and paid it no further attention.

Crimson Southern Bright Li Fire directly enveloped the salted portion of her body, immediately dispelling the curse of petrification.

Though this authority was powerful, as a God Slayer and a Valkyrie, she possessed tremendous resistance. Even if she ignored it, it would fade away on its own over time.

What displeased Phoenix, however, was that Marquis Voban had attacked without warning.

Sodom's Eye was an authority Marquis Voban had usurped from the ancient Roman hero, the one-eyed war god Horatius Cocles.

Any creature Voban looked at would turn into a pillar of salt, regardless of their number. It was named after recreating the divine punishment that destroyed Sodom in the Old Testament Bible.

However, it was not particularly effective against God Slayers and Heretic Gods. Phoenix turned to glance behind her as well. With Hiyoumaru's supervirus present, the saltification had likewise been wiped away by Hiyoumaru.

Since Hiyoumaru was protecting this place, there should not have been any problem. Phoenix no longer concerned herself with them, only telling them to stay farther away.

Then, she grasped lightning in her hand and used the power of Grip of the Void to amplify it. Once it felt about right, she hurled it directly at Marquis Voban.

"Receive the Lord's Lightning Judgment!"

An enhanced Spear of Lightning.
