A legendary Undead like the Soul-Eating Demon, even for members of the Darkness Scripture, required cautious handling.
And it just... died so easily?
I shouldn't be seeing things.
Astrology Thousand Miles silently confirmed within her heart, her expression tense, because this wasn't the only terrifying thing that had happened.
An Adventurer who could merge with a high-tier Angel!
The Alliance Leader of Zuranon, capable of fighting a Dominion Authority Angel!
If Clairvoyance hadn't been mistaken, that Alliance Leader should still be alive.
The extraordinary item, Sealed Magic Crystal, was lost!
The Sunlight Scripture suffered heavy losses, with less than half their numbers remaining.
Captain Nigun was dead.
"Alright, alright, compared to the previous few incidents, the last two aren't that big of a deal."
Astrology Thousand Miles gritted her back teeth. The force was so strong it created pressure on her skull, causing even a powerful individual like her to experience ringing in her ears.
As Astrology Thousand Miles stopped observing and sorted through her muddled thoughts, trying to figure out how to report everything in detail,
At this moment—
In the hilly area, on the battlefield littered with blood, flesh, and corpses.
With a sinister glint in her eyes, but a sacred and solemn expression, Quartet took out a crown from her Magic Leather Bag. It was primarily Golden, adorned with translucent Crystals resembling ice crystals.
Looking at the Magic Item in her hand,
Quartet's breathing quickened slightly. In theory, she didn't need to be present for this disaster of suppressing the Undead rebellion.
But for the Holy Kingdom, and for Her Highness the Holy Queen!
Quartet was unwilling to entrust this national treasure to anyone else for use, not even her sister, Remedios.
This crown was not just a symbol of status and power; it was the Holy Kingdom's national treasure, named the "Holy King's Crown"!
It was a Magic Item that bundled the Great Ritual Magic "Final Holy War," passed down through generations of the Holy Kingdom, containing unimaginable Terror!
As far as Quartet knew, this Magic Item had only been used once since the founding of the Holy Kingdom, and that was during the time of the first Holy King's founding!
As the Prime Minister and a close friend of the Holy Queen,
Quartet could naturally access some information that was otherwise beyond her reach, even some secrets of the Besares royal family.
Unfortunately,
What interested Quartet the most, the information on how the first Holy King obtained this national treasure, was not recorded anywhere. She could only speculate that it was related to the legendary Six Great Gods.
Suppressing the various thoughts in her mind,
Quartet's gaze sharpened as she looked at the Shrine Priests who had stood up and gathered around her:
"Everyone, prepare!"
Whoosh—
It seemed they had rehearsed beforehand. Even though the Shrine Priest Order had lost half its personnel, the positions that were originally assigned were quickly filled by other shrine priests.
In the blink of an eye!
More than 50 shrine priests, centered around Quartet, stood in a scattered, web-like formation, respectfully and straight at their designated spots.
"Begin!"
Quartet quickly scanned the area, confirmed everyone's positions, and slowly raised the crown in her hand above her head.
Actually, they didn't need this many people originally, but everyone had just finished a battle and didn't have much mana left, so they needed more people to gather mana.
The so-called "Great Ritual".
It was a method of concentrating the group's mana onto a single caster to store a large amount of mana within a certain period.
Because of this, the one undertaking it was extremely dangerous. The most basic requirement was that the undertaker must possess the power to use Fifth Tier magic and reach the "Hero Domain" level.
Of course,
A normal Great Ritual wouldn't be as simple as this. However, the "Holy King's Crown" was a special Magic Item that bundled the power of the Great Ritual, omitting the complex ritual process.
Swish!
The next moment.
All the shrine priests assumed a posture of devout prayer, chanting in low voices. Streams of faint white holy mana emerged from their bodies.
They transformed into weak, faint white light, like raindrops falling on water, forming wave-like energy that converged towards the crown in Quartet's hand.
The faces of the surrounding shrine priests visibly turned pale at a speed discernible to the naked eye. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably; this was a sign of physical weakness caused by excessive mana consumption.
The crown vibrated slightly!
A massive magic circle covering all the shrine priests present appeared above Quartet's head.
Dong—Dong—
The astonishing mana fluctuations and the sight of the huge magic circle caused the demi-humans, who had just caught their breath, to look towards Quartet's location in confusion and doubt.
"What is that?"
Tang Zheng, sitting on the Evil Spirit Dog, his disguised pale and weak face froze. He suddenly looked up at this sudden development.
He had been fully controlling his Shadow Clones just now, searching for the missing Alliance Leader. With the powerful attack released by the Dominion Authority Angel, even if the Alliance Leader wasn't dead, he must be severely injured.
"The 'Holy King's Crown', our Holy Kingdom's national treasure." Remedios, standing beside him with her arms crossed, didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it and explained.
The Holy King's Crown?
Tang Zheng immediately realized that this was the trump card of the Holy Kingdom side that he had been curious about.
It was actually a Magic Item!
He was a little surprised in his heart.
This was the crown carried by the Holy Queen, and it was actually brought here. Just from this point alone, one could see Holy Queen Calca's trust in Quartet.
"You plan to attack the demi-humans."
Tang Zheng focused his gaze and suddenly spoke.
He remembered correctly that this magic item stored a magic called "Final Holy War," whose specific effect was unknown.
Because in the original work, Holy Queen Calca didn't have time to use this magic item before she was captured by the Wrath Demon General disguised as Demiurge.
According to the intelligence Demiurge obtained, neither the Abelion Hills nor the Holy Kingdom possessed power that he would care about.
Therefore, even if the magic within this magic item was unleashed, it would not have any impact on the final outcome.
"How did you know?" Remedios's light brown pupils widened in surprise when she heard Tang Zheng say, "They are going to attack the demi-humans."
She hadn't said anything just now.
Quartet's plan to use this opportunity to eliminate all demi-humans was something her sister had told her, and Tang could actually guess it.
Seeing Remedios's surprised look.
Tang Zheng was instead a little surprised, "You think this is hard to guess?"
"Now that the war is over, using your Holy Kingdom's national treasure at this time is an obvious matter."
"Is it not hard to guess?" Remedios muttered softly, her eyes blank, completely lacking the intense, rigid style she had during combat.
"You came to my side."
Tang Zheng was silent for a moment, then looked at Remedios seriously: "Isn't it arranged by Captain Quartet to guard against the possibility of me assisting the demi-humans?"
Remedios's pupils widened slightly.
"What!"
"I was just afraid you'd fall and die!"
Remedios glared, clenched her fists, and spoke angrily.
Tang Zheng suddenly realized that Remedios might be more... well... "intelligent" than he had imagined.
Also, when did this woman become so friendly to him?
"So, you plan to help the demi-humans, right!" Remedios was first furious, then suddenly reacted, pressing one hand on the hilt of her sword:
"You guy!"
"Sigh~"
Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, then sighed.
"What do you mean by that!" Remedios spoke unhappily.
Tang Zheng didn't respond, but instead looked back in Quartet's direction. He was very curious about the magic "Final Holy War."
Because the name of this magic was very similar to a certain Tenth Tier magic!
Back then.
When he saw "Final Holy War," he subconsciously thought it was a Tenth Tier magic, but then he thought it was unlikely. He rechecked and found it was only a one-word difference.
A full 20 seconds!
The massive, holy magic circle suddenly lit up, turning into points of light and dissipating.
Quartet's spirit was roused. Holding the crown high with both hands, she let out a low cry: "Final Holy War!"
In an instant!
A giant vortex constructed of pure white bubbles appeared above Quartet's head. Immediately after, a dense "rustling" sound came from within the bubble vortex.
It was as if many pieces of armor were rubbing against each other!
Whoosh—
Whoosh—whoosh—
A Guardian Archangel holding a bright yellow spear was the first to fly out of the holy bubble vortex, and then, as if triggering some reaction,
A large number of dense Guardian Angels continuously flew out of the holy vortex, quickly gathering in the sky above. In just a few breaths,
128 Guardian Archangels appeared in everyone's sight!
However, this was not the end.
After all the Guardian Angels flew out, there was movement again in the vortex. Flame Archangels holding Flame Swords then flew out of the vortex.
64 Flame Archangels gathered in the sky!
The holy vortex vibrated again!
This time, Peace Authority Angels appeared, and their number reached 32 in one go.
Only at this moment did the holy vortex completely dissipate!
The scene of a full 224 angels appearing together shocked almost everyone, especially the powerful figures of the 32 Fourth Tier Peace Authority Angels. The oppressive feeling they generated caused the pupils of the Demi-humans to contract.
"Is that the power of the Holy King's Crown!"
Remedios no longer cared about the anger she felt from Tang Zheng's words just now. She raised her head, revealing her fair neck, her face full of disbelief.
Puff, puff, puff—
As the magic finished casting, the Shrine Priests who participated in the ritual all fell to the ground, some directly falling into a coma.
Quartet's shoulders shook twice. She staggered and steadied herself, looking up at the angel army in the air, each one radiating Holy Light and possessing astonishing presence.
An incomparable brilliance flickered in her pair of light brown eyes.
"Is this the power of the national treasure?"
Quartet murmured to herself, her fingers gripping the crown turning slightly white from excessive force, afraid the crown would fall from her hand.
At this moment, she finally understood somewhat how the first Holy King had founded the kingdom with the help of this national treasure!
Compared to everyone's surprise on the battlefield,
Tang Zheng subconsciously straightened his back, his face full of surprise and astonishment, no less than the surprise of everyone else on the battlefield.
"Final Holy War"?
Isn't this the Tenth Tier Magic, Final War·Good!
Buzz—
The Attribute Panel vibrated and appeared before Tang Zheng's eyes.
Detected Fourth Tier Magic "Great Ritual·Final War·Good (Degraded)", Requires Base Casting Level (22~28), Current Conditions Met
Consume one Skill Point to learn?
Detected Degraded Magic - Consume Skill Point to Repair?
Tang Zheng looked at the information that appeared on the panel, his eyes first showing surprise, then revealing a look of pleasant surprise.
It really was that Tenth Tier Magic, just in a "degraded" state.
What surprised and delighted Tang Zheng was that it could actually be repaired.
"Repair," Tang Zheng immediately thought without any hesitation.
This was a genuine Tenth Tier Magic, and it was one of the most special types. This was more than just a simple pleasant surprise.

Description: After casting the magic—
Can summon 128 Angels around level 10.

Can summon 32 Angels around level 30.
Can summon 8 Angels around level 40.
Can summon 4 Angels around level 50.
Can summon 2 Angels around level 60.
Can summon 1 Angel around level 70.
The caster can also choose to convert higher-tier Angels into lower-tier Angels to gain a larger number of Angels, approximately doubling the quantity.
This magic can be used three times per day!
Tang Zheng looked at the information of this Magic, his pupils slightly dilated.
One must know that the Tenth Tier "Angel Summoning" can only summon a Level 70 Angel, and it is also a Tenth Tier Magic.
The number of Angels summoned by the "Great Ritual·Final War (Good)" is simply terrifyingly large, which can be called a great killer.
Furthermore!
The Tenth Tier 10th Tier Angel Summoning is also affected by the Player's level, while this Tenth Tier Magic can obviously be used directly.
Even with Tang Zheng's current strength, facing this Magic would be dangerous, and he might even need to retreat directly.
How could he not be excited?
Suddenly.
Tang Zheng remembered something, and the excited emotions in his heart instantly dissipated a lot.
He remembered that among the 41 Players in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, there was a Player named Ulbert, who imitated a World-Class Item that could infinitely summon Demons and even engulf the entire world.
He created a Magic Item that stored the Tenth Tier Magic "Final War (Evil)".
It was in the image of a Demon, holding a Gem in each of its six arms, capable of releasing six layers of "Final War (Evil)" at once.
Tang Zheng's gaze fell on the Skill's information and found that it could only be used three times a day, not even as good as the opponent's item.
Instead, it had the same effect as the degraded version of the Magic Item in the Undead King's hand.
Thinking of this.
Tang Zheng's just-excited emotions instantly vanished completely.
Comparing people is truly
