Chapter 130: Witness This Kindly
Chapter 132: Witness This Kindly
It was clear that Shariel was quite displeased with the Undead Dynasty. It was unclear whether she was angered by their cowardice in abandoning their master and fleeing, or by their brutality in bullying the weak.
However, the most likely reason was that these undead were not of Hram’s lineage, yet they were enjoying the gifts of Hram’s master and acting presumptuously.

“I know. Luojia, Luqia, begin organizing and prepare for the assault,” Yonglan commanded the Knight Commander of the Demon realm.
“Your Highness… We’re attacking now?” the Night Walker Knight Commander asked in a gruff voice.
“We are not… afraid of death, but… charging head-on into such an onslaught… will result in heavy casualties.”
Everyone had witnessed the power of the beam of light earlier. It was a sure death to touch, devastating for miles. Charging towards the Floating Fortress was akin to suicide.
If it were a necessary sacrifice, the Knights would have charged without a second thought. However, bravery was not the same as foolishness. If they only knew how to charge with passion, the Knight Kingdom wouldn’t have lasted this long.
“I will not hesitate to use your lives as currency, but I will ensure you die with purpose. How could I possibly have you charge in like that? I will naturally handle the Divine Construct’s interception.”
Yonglan smiled, then patrolled in front of the neatly arranged Knight ranks, loudly addressing the Warriors:
“Everyone! You all know that the enemy has rejected my mercy and responded to the establishment of the Mortal World Kingdom with foolishness and arrogance. The Undead Dynasty… has brought its own demise!”
“My goodwill is not without limits. Since the enemy shows no sign of repentance, then all that remains is to utterly crush them and make the Undead Dynasty pay for decades of invasion! Let their demise lay the foundation for our great expedition! With their heads! Forge my victory!”
“This is not a path of desperation, but an act of retribution! I shall lead from the front and accomplish three tasks for you all.”
“First, raze the fortress! Second, break the formation! Third, slay the general!”
“Witness this kindly!”
After promising his Warriors, Yonglan turned and gazed at the Floating Fortress, which was a Divine Construct.
He had to admit, the Constructs created by Celestial Gods were indeed powerful. Not to mention their potential for transformation, the current fortress alone was quite formidable.
While the fierce firepower might not be able to kill him instantly, a concentrated barrage would force even Yonglan to retreat. Ordinary Warriors would, without a doubt, be reduced to ashes by the beams.
The sturdiness of the Divine Construct was also troublesome. If Shariel was correct, the runes that unleashed the beams could also be used to reinforce the Floating Fortress. Since it wasn’t a divine being, the special attack of the Soul Devouring Blade would also be ineffective.
Could he outsmart it with a different approach? Perhaps. After all, the Undead Overlord kept the Divine Construct firmly in hand rather than using it to conquer territories, implying some limitations. For example, perhaps its energy reserves were low and it needed to be used for self-preservation.
However, none of that was necessary. Yonglan intended to shatter all enemy resistance head-on and honorably.
He usually challenged bosses beyond his level, but now that he had finally found an enemy weaker than him in terms of raw power, Yonglan had to prove that Stats were indeed the reason for kingship.
Yonglan raised his hand, and light particles converged, forming a large bow.
Bow of Chasing the Distant Hunt
Although it had lost its special attack against Mad Hunt Heaven, the quality of the bow had only increased, becoming a unique weapon that grew alongside Yonglan.
Raising the large bow above his head, Yonglan slowly drew the faintly glowing string.
Spirit Matter converged like a storm, forming a vortex before the large bow, and then, a light arrow began to appear.
The extreme radiance cast everything around into darkness. Light distorted space, and glassy, multicolored light drifted. Once fully charged, Yonglan released the string.
“Buzz—”
A dull rumble echoed in everyone’s ears. The Knights touched their slightly ringing ears, their eyes fixed on the intensely bright light arrow shooting skyward.
Then, it abruptly turned downward.
In mere moments, it traversed an unimaginable distance, ascended and descended, aiming directly at the floating cubic fortress.
There were several Divine Constructs. The one carrying the Undead Overlord had already retreated to the rear. Yonglan couldn’t target it, so he decided to attack the fortress in front first.
The Divine Construct detected the incoming attack, and the runes covering its surface immediately shifted, constructing defensive Artifices. Nearly half of the runes were involved, indicating considerable importance.
But it wasn’t emphasized enough. As the heavy light arrow descended and touched the fortress’s shield, light and heat erupted from the point of impact.
“Boom—”
Amidst the earth-shattering tremors, the light arrow forcefully broke through the Divine Construct’s defenses and struck the cubic fortress.
Exaggerated shockwaves spread out like tides. The energy from the exploding platinum light arrow spread like plasma across the fortress’s surface. As the aftershocks subsided, what appeared before everyone was a Divine Construct with serious damage inflicted upon it.
The flawlessly cubic form bore a glaringly conspicuous imperfection.
“Impossible!”
The Undead Overlord, seated on the Divine Construct, roared in anger and fear. The Divine Construct he had placed all his hopes on was actually defeated in one blow…
Defeated in one blow!
Yet, the facts were undeniable. No matter how surprised and terrified the Undead Overlord was, he couldn’t deny it.
Before he could even figure out how to respond, Yonglan on the other side raised his large bow again, its light flashing.
Yonglan was quite satisfied with the effect of the first shot. After all, he wasn’t expecting to destroy one Divine Construct per shot; that would be too terrifying.
However, Yonglan was not limited to just one shot. Estimating the magic consumed, Yonglan revealed a confident smile of strategic foresight and drew his bow again, condensing a light arrow.
This time, he consumed more Spirit Matter to accelerate its formation. Instead of a showy parabolic trajectory, he shot it directly towards the damaged Divine Construct.
“Boom—”
This arrow directly pierced the cubic fortress. The mysterious runes dimmed and gradually detached. The Divine Construct, devoid of vitality and luster, began to slowly descend towards the ground, its collapsing parts raining down like meteorites, scattering the Dynasty guards below.
Having downed one Divine Construct, Yonglan did not pause. He placed the Bow of Chasing the Distant Hunt vertically on the ground, stepped on the bow, and pulled the string with one hand, continuing to pour Spirit Matter into it, urging the large bow to rapidly condense a light arrow.
“Whoosh—”
“Whoosh—”
“Whoosh—”
A gale swept across both banks of the river, carrying the rushing water. The light arrows repeatedly stirred up storms, extinguishing light, and striking the runes and Artifices of the cubic fortress.
Yonglan shot the light arrows with intense concentration, pouring in magic without reservation. He relentlessly barraged the floating Divine Construct with an extremely cold demeanor.
