Chapter 457: Chapter 443 Ivina: This isn’t Magic, it’s practically Heavenly Punishment!
Under the continuous strafing of two fighter jets, nearly a fifth of the pursuing Knights fell on the battlefield in just a mere ten seconds or so.

“Devils, these are the creations of devils!”
Witnessing several of his comrades being torn into pieces by the dense barrage, one of the pursuing Knights was so frightened that he shivered and ended up wetting himself.
But this was just the beginning, as round objects had already started plummeting from the sky.
Under the watchful eyes of Ivina and a group of Wizards, White Phosphorus Fire blossomed in the air, igniting the oxygen and transforming into a brilliant display of fireworks that enveloped the battlefield!
The remaining three thousand or so Knights were instantly submerged in a sea of White Phosphorus Fire.
White Phosphorus Fire, with its high temperature, high corrosiveness, and high toxicity, was like the hellfire spoken of in legends that existed in the abyss, capable of devouring everything. Once it touched anything, it would burn through armor like maggots in the bone and completely incinerate flesh…
The entire battlefield quickly turned into a purgatory where ignited Knights fell from their horses, emitting continuous, agonizing, and piercing screams. The ground was seared into a scorched wasteland, while a strong and pungent smell kept wafting through the air.
“Retreat, retreat!” the leading Archbishop yelled frantically. The Witch-hunting Knights, who had already lost their courage, hastily guided their warhorses, desperately retreating backward, trying to escape back into the dense forest.
But the fighter jets were not going to let them go so easily. They followed close behind, firing all their machine gun ammunition, feeling it wasn’t even satisfying enough. They went into a low-altitude dive and used laser weapons, literally slicing the fleeing Witch-hunting Knights in half…
Lucas and others could only watch with wide eyes as the ferocious Witch-hunting Knights, looking to totally annihilate them, crumbled under several rounds of attacks and fell on the barren ground no more than seventy meters away from them.
“Such terrifying weapons…” A plainly-dressed male Wizard in the crowd murmured, shaking.
Ivina also began to understand why the church’s crusade army fell at the hands of these Wizards.
While the two fighter jets continued chasing the remnants, in the sky, a dozen or so airships slowly descended, neatly arranging themselves over the wasteland.
It was only when these alchemical creations came down from above that the people realized they had underestimated the enormity of the airships. They were simply as tall as four or five-story buildings, even larger than a house!
Del, accompanied by more than a hundred musketeers, disembarked from the airship. Seeing the dust-covered Lucas, he immediately opened his arms and embraced the other warmly.
“How about that? We arrived just in time, eh, old buddy?”
“Certainly, timely, very timely!” Lucas was indescribably ecstatic. Had these airships arrived just half a minute later, they would have been flattened by those Witch-hunting Knights.
“It’s just too bad you couldn’t have arrived a day or two earlier,” Lucas said with regret and recounted the large-scale slaughter that had taken place in the western parts of the Empire in recent days.
Hearing this, Del also became furious. If it weren’t for the fact that he had insufficient manpower and limited ammunition for this operation, he would’ve wished to strike at the Holy City and blow up the statue of the false deity.
“We will eventually obliterate the church and the Empire; that day won’t be far off!” Del said fiercely.
If someone had talked about annihilating the church and the Empire five minutes earlier, Lucas would have thought it mere fantasy of the ignorant. But now, a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
At Del’s invitation, hundreds of Wizards and their apprentices boarded the sky airships in batches.
With the auxiliary balloons refilled, airships larger than houses carried these Wizards into the sky.
“What kind of magic can possibly make such a huge thing fly freely towards the heavens!” Lucas exclaimed in surprise, immediately looking towards the prototype warplanes that were returning to base.
“And these iron birds, their speed is much faster than even the fastest Gard Falcon.”
“No, the Gard Falcon cannot even compare to half of its wing!” Lucas said with a sigh.
“The alchemical creation beneath our feet is called a sky airship, and those new model warplanes are all the handiwork of Master Lynn!” Del spoke with evident pride.
“Is that the ‘Star of Magic’?” Lucas paused.
He had previously made contact with Del a few times when Del went to the Empire to gather intelligence, and he also had some understanding of the Wizard Council, which is why he had decided to flee the kingdom together with the Wizards Mutual Aid Association, and naturally, he had heard of this famous ‘Star of Magic’.
“Indeed,” Del nodded.
“With these powerful alchemical creations, no wonder the Church’s crusading army was defeated at your hands, with Saintess Lucia even dying on the battlefield.” Lucas couldn’t help but express his admiration.
The other Wizards also looked towards Del, as they too had heard the news of the crusaders’ defeat.
“You’ve misunderstood,” Del shook his head. “The airships, warplanes, and other new weapons are indeed formidable, but they’re not enough to completely crush the crusading army led by two legendary Divine Mages.”
“In the initial battle, we suffered significant casualties and relied on Master Lynn casting an extremely powerful magic to utterly obliterate the Church’s Holy Maiden and tens of thousands of the crusading army!”
The people present looked at each other, the story seemed to be getting more and more exaggerated… They couldn’t imagine what kind of force could wipe out an elite army of tens of thousands in one fell swoop.
“As for the power of that magic, you’ll soon see it for yourself!” Del shrugged his shoulders, not daring to believe it himself before witnessing the truth with his own eyes.
Lucas was confused, but half an hour later, he understood everything Del had said, for the airship had already flown over the nuclear blast zone, below was a horrific sight — a land of scorched earth as far as the eye could see!
For tens of kilometers, land had been melted and solidified into blocks of glass, and in the periphery, countless remains could be seen, including Divine Knights boiled dry by extreme heat and ‘iron streams’ that had been completely dissolved and then solidified into shapes, sticking together with the ground.
“See, twenty days ago, that was a mine!” Del pointed towards the center of the blast zone.
Lucas looked towards the center, where Del was pointing. There was no mine left, only a huge hole that seemed bottomless, as if leading to the abyss and hell…
“Is this also… magic?” Ivina said with a trembling voice.
The dreadful sight before her exceeded the most terrifying expectations of magic in her mind; even the most powerful Divine Arts cast by Lord Gustav paled in comparison to a thousandth of its power.
This was simply Heavenly Punishment!
