King of Assassins-Chapter 852 - 619: Resonance_2

This Holy Light Power is actually the pure divine energy activated by the Divine Power Rune Seed, which is extremely effective against various spiritual lives, especially evil ghosts, which are negative energy beings.

Under the illumination of the Holy Light, many evil ghosts will instantly turn into ash.

Huang Yingyue and the others felt that evil ghosts were weak and easy to overcome. But after a few minutes, they realized the situation was bad. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The evil ghosts were endless; continuing like this, the Holy Hall would definitely not be able to hold on.

Once the Trial Warriors cannot activate the Holy Armor, they might be eroded physically by the evil ghosts, or even have their divine soul eroded by them. By then, perhaps all Trial Warriors will perish here.

Realizing the dire situation, Huang Yingyue and the others quickly adjusted their strategy.

The all-encompassing Holy Light swiftly converged into a cluster, only enveloping all the Paladins.

Hovering in the air, Huang Yingyue commanded from above: "All samurai, hold your positions, form arrays for self-defense, and do not charge recklessly. Anyone who violates the order will immediately lose trial qualifications..."

Upon hearing Huang Yingyue's command, many Trial Warriors felt a chill in their hearts. The chief examiner said this, indicating the situation was quite severe.

Fortunately, all Trial Warriors had undergone training, except for Gao Xuan, who joined the queue late and knew nothing.

The Holy Light Demon Slaying Array also had formation requirements. All the Trial Warriors had participated in array training.

Under the command of deputy examiner Yuan Ping, the Trial Warriors continuously adjusted their positions.

Looking from above, circles of Trial Warriors cycled through positions, constantly changing the arrangements of the outer and inner circles.

Such changes also allowed the warriors fighting on the perimeter to catch their breath.

Although the evil ghosts attacked from all directions, the pressure on the inner circle was significantly reduced.

The array adjustments greatly alleviated the pressure on all warriors.

Also, several dozen Foundation Establishment Level examiners coordinated within the array, ready to intervene wherever problems emerged.

For the time being, the Paladins and evil ghosts were in a stalemate.

However, Gao Xuan felt the situation was not looking good as the evil ghosts were gaining momentum.

The most crucial aspect was the increasingly intense blood moon's glow.

The blood-red moonlight carried a strong Source Power fluctuation, which was nourishment for the evil ghosts.

Gao Xuan watched as several evil ghosts evolved in the moonlight, their phantom bodies gradually becoming substantial.

If this continued, most Trial Warriors might not survive the long night.

Huang Yingyue and the others also realized the situation was dire, but they knew nothing about the blood moon's changes and could not hinder its transformation.

On the other hand, although they possessed powerful magical artifacts, there was nowhere to deploy them.

The evil ghosts surged like tidewaters without leaders or chiefs; the only solution was to annihilate them all.

This was clearly an impossible task. Furthermore, the evil ghosts continuously emerged from the underground. Eliminating those in front would not help.

Huang Yingyue thought the only recourse was to stall until dawn when the evil ghosts would naturally disperse.

Fortunately, the numerous Trial Warriors could protect themselves with formations, thus buying some time.

The situation was more severe than Huang Yingyue had predicted; the more evil ghosts died, the more evolved ones appeared.

Within less than two hours, the evil ghosts surrounding the Paladins had already transformed into physical entities.

These evil ghosts were each two meters tall or taller, with developed muscles. If the Profound Origin Sword did not strike with full force, it would be difficult to bisect an evil ghost with a single blow.

The combat pressure was also particularly immense.

The outer ring Trial Warriors were somewhat exhausted; no matter how they preserved their strength, two hours of battle not only depleted their physical stamina but also left their spirits exceptionally weary.

It was at this point that casualties began to occur among the Trial Warriors.

A Trial Warrior was accidentally captured by two evil ghosts and pulled out of the array range.

Immediately, a swarm of evil ghosts rushed over, engulfing that Trial Warrior.

The warrior let out a scream, but soon fell silent.

Others wished to intervene and rescue, but it was already too late.

Within a minute, the evil ghosts scattered, leaving a shriveled corpse behind.

The once brilliantly shining Holy Armor was now sullied and dim, devoid of any Holy Light.

An evil ghost stomped on the corpse, causing the Holy Armor to shatter and the body to crumble to a pile of ash.

This horrific scene made many Trial Warriors pale in fear.

Huang Yingyue, controlling the grand array, also bore an expression of helplessness; their power was focused on maintaining the array. Rushing out to save others was unlikely.

At this moment, only by safeguarding the core of the array could more people be protected.

By comparison, the death of a single Trial Warrior seemed insignificant.

Though rationally understood, witnessing young warriors being drained and devoured by evil ghosts made Huang Yingyue and other experts feel uneasy.

For the safety of everyone, the Holy Light Demon Slaying Array continued to shrink.

Huang Yingyue worried that with more than four hours until dawn, they were unsure how long they could withstand these transformations.

In fact, the mutation of the evil ghosts was still ongoing. After another hour, not only had the evil ghosts fully manifested physically, but they also had armor and weapons.

More terrifying was that some evil ghosts had also mastered magic—harnessing flames, ice, etc.

This level of evil ghost was already indistinguishable from ordinary Trial Warriors. More terrifyingly, there were as many as 100,000 of them.

However, all other vaporous evil ghosts had completely dissipated.

Huang Yingyue understood that as long as they could eliminate these 100,000 evil ghosts, they would survive.
