Chapter 1737: Chapter 845: Lightfolk Expedition_2

This trait imbues their every ordinary attack with a powerful positive energy strike, because they are incarnations of light and are connected to the Positive Energy Plane.

“Praise the Holy Light, it grants us brightness!”

“Praise the Holy Light, it helps us to dispel darkness!”

“Praise the Holy Light, all schemes and evil shall be exposed before it.”

A chorus of the Lightfolk Holy Army echoed in praise behind the Light Spirit, the scorching white light emanating from them intertwined with the Light Spirit.

The Light Spirit, initially hindered by endless darkness, began striding forward once again, as the numbers of the Lightfolk Holy Army grew behind her.

The previously summoned portal was no longer maintained by the Light Spirit Witch; instead, it was taken over by the Lightfolk Holy Army, continuously dispatching the Expeditionary Force to this side.

They harbor such hatred towards darkness and evil that they remain constantly in combat readiness, always prepared to support those anguished in other planes (the Positive Energy Plane cannot breed darkness and evil; even if an Ancient Evil God were to come here, it would be cooked alive). They see this as their sacred and undeniable duty.

“Despicable creature!” Dushan Witch cursed aloud, “It’s already mine, no one shall take it from my hands.”

Immediately, the Shadow Dragon merged with the Earth Totem Tree, slowly blending into it.

She merged at the roots where the Earth Totem Tree was stubbornly resisting.

Once these turned black, the Earth Totem Tree’s transformation was nearly complete.

“Not enough, not enough, not enough, just a little more, just a little more, just a little more, explode, explode, explode!”

The hysterical voice of the Dushan Witch echoed from within the Earth Totem Tree, filled with desire and excitement.

For when she immersed herself in it, she realized the true uniqueness of this tree and felt she made the right gamble.

Only by mastering it could she continue to stand against the Haslan Witches.

For when all Totem Dreamscapes connect, they will intertwine with the four basic elements of the Laiserman Kingdom. Her previous infiltration methods would utterly fail.

Because those Totem Spirit cores will transfer into the Totem Dreamscape, and without a way to penetrate the dreamscape, how can she infiltrate and corrupt them?

This realization further solidified Dushan Witch’s determination to possess this Earth Totem Tree at any cost.

The Souls of Laiserman Shadows that originally buzzed like worker bees around the Earth Totem Tree crashed into it, then exploded, fully merging themselves with the Earth Totem Tree.

This one-time immersion indeed displayed extraordinary power, with the immersed area expanding more than threefold while becoming media points of Shadow Energy, spreading from its core in all directions.

Once the Souls of Laiserman Shadows mostly self-detonated, the Earth Totem Tree was entirely immersed into a Shadow Tree.

More precisely, it transformed into a door.

A door connecting the Material Plane and the Shadow Plane.

The Shadow Plane descended upon this land as a true nightmare, no, as a True Dream Realm.

The sun in the sky dimmed, and darkness surged from every direction, making the surrounding mountains appear more rugged and bizarre. In the depths of darkness, countless eyes gleamed, and twisted shrieks of excitement sounded as countless Shadow Beasts rushed forward.

These Shadow Beasts were no longer confined to Ghost Shadows; they were manifold, including swarming Shadow Bats, colossal and translucent Shadow Spiders. As indigenous residents of the Shadow Plane, they have a tendency towards light.

They eagerly rushed towards places with light since indigenous creatures of the Shadow Plane don’t need light; only life from the Material Plane do. This signifies that places with light will have food.

This perspective is not wrong.

The fault lies in the fact that they underestimated the prey’s prowess.

Before they could fully see the enemy’s form, holy columns of light descended from the sky, striking upon them.

They instantly felt the searing heat like being cast into a hot oil pot, sizzling throughout their bodies, quickly evaporating the shadowy mist enveloping them. They shrieked in pain, unable to escape the shroud of holy columns of light, until they exploded.

The purest shadowy energy produced by the explosion was absorbed by the Nightmare Shadow Tree before dissipating, becoming nutrients for its growth.

“Kill!”

The Shadow Beasts were merely appetizers; accompanied by countless roars, an Undead Army charged forward mightily.

The term Undead Army, instead of Shadow Army, is chosen because the core of this force comprises tangible undead such as Skeletons, Zombies, Skeleton Knights, Mummies, and the like, rather than incorporeal beings like Ghost Shadows.

Previously limited by summoning ability, Dushan Witch naturally prioritized summoning the more invasive Shadow Legion.

Now with the real Nightmare Shadow Tree, they can be summoned in batches into reality, welcoming all indiscriminately.

“In the name of the Holy Light, cleanse!”

“In the name of the Holy Light, strike the undead!”

“In the name of the Holy Light, undead be scattered!”

The Lightfolk Expedition fiercely swung their Holy Light Warhammers and Holy Light Shields, clashing heavily with the Undead Army.
