Chapter 390: 221 Clear Instance_2
No matter how powerful you are, you cannot possibly possess the strength of Holy Light, can you?
As long as Dean McKenzie cannot kill him, the power of Holy Light will make him rise again.
Victory will ultimately belong to him!
Kabba Hiller truly believes this. With an ever-growing smile on his face, until Dean McKenzie slowly stands before him, whipping out a sword shimmering with Holy Light.
The moment Dean McKenzie draws his Holy Light Sword, the smile on Kabba’s face freezes instantly.
“Honestly, this is the first time I’ve encountered someone telling me how to kill them.”
Since you’re so keen about it, I’ll see you off!”
Kabba was stunned inwardly, but he forcedly maintained his composure. “Where did you get that sword from? It must not have been easy for you to obtain a Holy Light Sword. But the thing is, you can’t wield it. You can’t fool me!”
“Is that so?”
With a chuckle, Dean McKenzie casually swings the Holy Light sword, which lands on Kabba.
“Squelch!”
The sword instantly cuts Kabba open, and fear and despair flood his face.
“Impossible. How could you wield it?”
With a sly smile, Dean McKenzie not only reaps lives but also hearts. “Don’t you get it yet? You’ve been abandoned by your Holy Light. How could the Holy Light, the symbol of brightness, favor someone like you who’d do anything to get ahead?
This sword was a gift from your Holy Light for me, to use it to kill you!”
“No, impossible. You’re lying. It can’t be true!”
Dean McKenzie was in utter disbelief.
He was unwilling to accept this reality before his eyes. Dean McKenzie, however, couldn’t be bothered to deal with him — he keeps chopping him with the Holy Light sword, simultaneously hitting him with the “Curse of 180,000 Vengeful Spirits”.
Previously, Kabba had managed to withstand the curse once.
That was because he had a strong mental foundation and he never thought what he did was wrong.
He believed that all his actions were for the Holy Light, and couldn’t be incorrect.
But today, right now!
Under the attack of the Holy Light Sword, his defenses were fully shattered and he entirely succumbed into the curse.
Upon seeing this, Dean McKenzie cast Holy Light Judgment without wasting any words.
With a squelch, Kabba’s body was instantly slashed.
At the same time, his soul — the one fused with the Holy Light Angel — was swallowed by the “Curse of 180,000 Vengeful Spirits”.
Simultaneously, system prompts completely refreshed before Dean McKenzie’s eyes.
[You successfully killed Kabba Hiller (Twin-winged Holy Light Angel) form and acquired a [False God Slayer Treasure Chest]!]
[Your title [God Slayer] energy has increased by 1!]
[Your skill [Curse of 180,000 Vengeful Spirits] has evolved!]
With these system prompts, the fight involving Dean McKenzie was completely over.
Surprisingly, seeing the aftermath that stretched hundreds of miles around, Dean McKenzie didn’t feel as satisfied as he’d anticipated.
Especially when he ascended skyward and saw the moderate damage within hundreds of kilometers as a result of his strike. Dean McKenzie felt a sense of guilt.
“Seems like I caused no small damage to this world.”
However, Dean McKenzie didn’t let himself dwell in this state of mind for long.
“Since the damage has been done and can hardly be changed, feeling guilty here is useless.
What I should be thinking about is how to make this damage meaningful.
Eliminating the Church of Holy Light can be regarded as a positive meaning, but it’s not enough!
I need to do something more!
However, the time I can stay in this world is not long, so!”
Dean McKenzie says, turning to look at Great Strength Grass and Kyle that just emerged from the Land of Bones, “You should understand what I mean, right?”
“Huh?”
Kyle looks perplexed!
Honestly, he doesn’t get it, but seeing Great Strength Grass nodding beside him, he feels it’s inappropriate to shake his head at this moment.
So, Kyle just plays along and nods.
Although Kyle nodded along, Great Strength Grass didn’t!
She understood the meaning behind Dean McKenzie’s words.
What Dean McKenzie wanted to convey was,
“I feel I’ve done something wrong, but I don’t have time to make it right, and I can’t make up my mind about what to do. So, I’ve passed that responsibility to you.
I don’t know what you should do,
but whatever you’re going to do, it has to satisfy me!”
Needless to say, the Strong Grass understood Dean McKenzie pretty well.
One can say that her understanding was spot on.
Of course, while she understood as such, she could never say it out loud.
On the spot, Strong Grass came up with the most needed disaster relief plan.
Dean McKenzie immediately agreed to her plan and handed over an army of thousands of skeletons from the Skeleton Legion for her to command.
Under Dean’s delegating authority, Strong Grass sprang into action.
She worked on disaster relief whilst shifting the blame for this calamity onto the Church of Holy Light.
According to Strong Grass, the Church of Holy Light bore unshirkable responsibility for this disaster. They had planned to sacrifice the entire Holy Light Kingdom to make the pope and Kabba ascend to godhood, provoking the catastrophe.
The entire Holy Light Kingdom was on the brink of destruction.
It was the legendary recorder of Wraith Scourge, Dean McKenzie, who stepped in to prevent this catastrophe and save the people of the Holy Light Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Strong Grass was also subtly working behind the scenes.
She claimed that the Goblins were the most loyal servants under Dean McKenzie’s command, representating honesty, power, and fairness. They were Dean’s messengers across the world.
She even wanted to discreetly spread the word that she, as the Goblin Queen, was Dean’s first wife.
But with Dean present, she didn’t dare to go too far. At most she subtly hinted to the world that she was Dean’s woman.
Through Strong Grass’s maneuverings, the Goblins, in the course of the disaster relief, became symbolic of Dean McKenzie’s messengers in the Holy Light Kingdom. This helped lay a solid foundation for the rise of the Goblins.
In addition to being busy with this, Strong Grass also made arrangements for Kyle.
Dean had previously mentioned that he wanted Kyle to become the pope of the Church of Holy Light.
Strong Grass kept every word from Dean McKenzie in mind.
On this matter, she helped Kyle rebuild the Church of Holy Light.
But this Church of Holy Light was not the same as before.
The original Church of Holy Light worshipped the Holy Light, while the new Church of Holy Light Strong Grass encouraged Kyle to build worshipped Dean McKenzie.
The two churches of Holy Light were fundamentally different.
But the name remained the Church of Holy Light.
This was decided by Dean McKenzie, because he wanted to see if the progress of his mission, the Glory of the Holy Light, could be increased by maintaining the name of the Holy Light Church.
The result was both surprising and pleasing to Dean McKenzie.
As this new Church of Holy Light developed, Dean’s mission progress for the Glory of the Holy Light increased significantly.
He was pleased with this development.
Out of his four tasks, the Corrupted Holy Light was completed with the destruction of the Church of Holy Light.
The Crystal Heart was completed when the City of Holy Light ascended into the sky.
After Dean’s Corpse Explosion, not much was left, and the other two hearts were among them.
The remaining tasks, the Rise of the Goblins and the Glory of the Holy Light, were continually advancing thanks to Strong Grass’s efforts.
Moreover, with the activities of the Skeletons under Dean McKenzie’s command, the exploration points were also continually surging.
Looking at these rapidly increasing progress points and the treasure chest obtained from the destruction of the City of Holy Light and the killing of Kabba, as well as the remaining items after the destruction of the City of Holy Light.
Dean McKenzie could already foresee what kind of benefit he would get after completing this instance?
“Four hearts combine into one, when the time comes, I assume there will be at least one epic level entity under my command.
In addition, the Epic essence extracted from Kabba’s corpse has been used on my controlling skeleton, upgrading the Undying trait to Epic!
Moreover, considering these other gains, once the instance is completed, I should be able to challenge the seven-turn promotion quest, that is, the Mark of the Hunting God of the Seven-turn?”
Two months swiftly passed by amidst Dean’s anticipation.
In these two months, thanks to the effort of Strong Grass and Kyle, the progress of the Rise of the Goblins and the Glory of the Holy Light had reached a peak.
Over these two months, all of Dean’s skills were maxed out to level 15, thanks to the Bone Tomb.
Dean had also opened up the two treasure chests, obtaining a seven-turn Dark Gold attribute lance and a seven-turn Dark Gold attribute shield, which he gave to Old Seven and Old Four respectively.
All benefits absorbed, and all preparations ready.
With no further gains in the immediate future, Dean McKenzie applied for a clearing of the instance rewards!
