[From this point onward, the Allies' side pertains to the good side, while the enemy's side pertains to the cardinal and the curse people's army.]
Eli paused and looked at her companions. Wisey's suggestion seemed to be feasible at the moment.
She thought for a while and nodded, "Let's do this!"
Baobao and Wisey nodded with determination. They both stood beside Eli hinting that they would support them along the way.
Eli closed her eyes and thought of the possible sight above the ground. There should be many who have fallen and been severely injured.
Her heart was filled with great apprehension at the thought that the people who fought for the good had fallen in sacrifice.
The pain in her heart, the desperation, and the unwillingness to fall immediately invaded Eli's entire being.
With that, the heavy emotions on the battlefield channeled to her like a floodway, pouring continuously.
She trembled, her tears flowing from her eyes as she could now clearly see what the battlefield looks like and how the desperate cries of the righteous roared their battle cry.
"Oh heavens… would you look upon your people?
Hear our desperate cries as we stumble.
Our hearts were filled with indignance, our hands tightly clenched,
We do not want this peace you have gifted us to end.
Oh Great One, remember your promise,
In this hard-fought battle, let it not lead to our demise.
These cries, this desperation, Oh Great One, can't you hear?
Redeem your people, Oh Father, let the evil fear!
As I, your servant declare you at your highest,
Let us receive like a river, your never-ending goodness.
As I your servant proclaim Your might and majesty,
Cause everything in us to move and lead us to victory!"
Rumble!!!!
Above ground, the entire surroundings once again shook, this time the commotion was even more frightening than the arrival of the curse beasts.
The flow of time on the battlefield seemed to stop, as both sides wanted to figure out what was happening.
But for some reason, the side of the righteous did not feel any sense of apprehension instead, they suddenly felt that hope was ignited in their hearts.
Rumble!!!!
The skies darkened, threatening a torrential rain to fall. The clouds in the skies seemed to have been forcefully pulled on the holy island covering the skies in a foreboding manner.
But without warning, the thunder clapped aggressively and lightning was brewing in the dense clouds.
Aroooooo!
In an instant, the aggressive curse beasts seemed to have been agitated by the thunderclaps. Like anxious dogs, they lowered their tails and retreated while cowering.
In contrast, Eli's allies finally had time to breathe. In that window of safety, they looked around and saw that many had already fallen but somehow, they did not fear at all.
The expression of the Cardinal, who was also stopped by the sudden change in the surrounding, darkened. He looked at the skies above and frowned.
Although the skies looked like everything was just a normal thunderstorm he could not ignore the brewing uneasiness in his heart.
Tak! Tak! Tak!
Just as he was about to open his mouth to run, the thunder and lightning drowned his hearing and vision.
Zzzzzt!
Before the Cardinal's sight, countless lightning streaks descended from the skies and landed on the curse beasts like homing missiles.
"Keep your distance!" Abaddon, Gabriel, Kayden, and the rest of the acting leaders of their forces immediately warned their men to retreat.
Their hearts were beating in wonder at the sight of the curse puppets falling one by one. The lightning strikes seemed to have their own mind as they were only willing to target the curse puppets.
In an instant, the hundreds of beasts were now reduced to a few tens in number. However, the lightning strikes continued to rain down as if it was dead set on erasing the existence of the cursed beasts.
The cursed beast seemed to have realized that the skies were targeting them, and so the surviving ones immediately ignored the enemies in their eyes and ran around to escape for their lives.
As soon as these beasts completely ran away in the boundaries of the battlefield, the skies rumbled once again.
Causing the hearts of everyone on the righteous side to anticipate what was next, it did not take them too long to recognize that the heavens have seen their desperation and helped.
Clip…clop…
The next second, the raindrops showered on the entire holy island, dripping to every living and nonliving thing it could reach from the surface.
"T-this…" Suddenly an uncorrupted temple knight who was crawling toward his fallen sworn brother to die on his side suddenly felt a slight itch on his severed lower limb.
He paused and looked at his bloody thighs and his eyes could not help but widen!
His limbs… his legs were growing back!
Not only that, he discovered that as his body is drenched in the gentle rain, his wounds are healed and the strength of his body is being restored.
"Oh, Heavens!" Lost for any word to say, he could only look up and call out in gratefulness.
If that was the only miracle that he thought he would witness, he heard a soft gasp beside him and his heart skipped a beat.
"Huhhh… hahhhhhh…" His sworn brother beside him, who was no longer breathing earlier, started to slowly gasp for air.
The rising and falling of his chest and the visible healing in his body made him certain that his dead brother is slowly coming back to life!
"Brother!"
"Buddy!"
"Comrade!"
Instantly shouts of exclamation and joy were heard on the battlefield, the scene before them is an unbelievable sight!
Even the enemies behind them could not keep but tremble. This sight before them is clearly impossible!
They stared wide-eyed in disbelief as they could see the very enemies they took out slowly recovering one by one.
However, not all the dead from the allies' side came back to life, those who had been long dead, beheaded, and dismembered to the point of recognition no longer manifested any changes.
In the end the people around finally understood, those who were 'resurrected' were actually not yet technically dead, but slowly withering their last heartbeat. As long as the fallen still have a heartbeat there's still hope to recover!
Although it was still sad for the allies to finally realize that the 'true' dead would no longer come back to life, they were yet to witness another awe-striking sight happen before their eyes.
From the bodies of these dead comrades, a glimmer of orb light emerged.
It was pure and there was not even a speck of dirt in the orbs that were now floating in the air, like fireflies that were still shining brightly even when it was daytime.
Suddenly, all of the righteous who stood and watched the scene heard a gentle voice ringing at the back of their minds,
"Well done… my faithful and righteous servants… come home to Me and share in My glory."
That instant the orbs shuddered and flew toward the skies, the dark clouds opening up a golden light, creating a glorious pathway to the fallen's spirits.
Watching the spirits of their comrades ascend to the heavens so gloriously, the knights could not help but cry in relief.
Oh, the sacrifices of their comrades were not in vain and they were rewarded!
They are finally coming home to the Great One and spending the rest of eternity on his side!
While this moment was touching the allies' side, the enemy's side was shaking in fear.
This power, this miracle! There is only one person who could trigger this in Prasinos!
Since the Pope and the rest were already on Lord Raven's side, they only have one person in mind who could trigger the heavens to take action.
The One True Paladin!
Cardinal's heart dropped in an instant, he too realized this matter and was immediately in panic.
'I need to go to the deeper altar to stop this matter from escalating further!'
True enough when he was about to move, a furious battle cry erupted on the battlefield. The men from the other side were now in their best state and were initiating an attack against their side!
Moreover, Abaddon and Gabriel's strength and power were completely restored! Uriel and the rest will have a hard time at this moment!
Very quickly he rushed down to the laboratory, not knowing that he was heading toward the same place as Eli was…
Inside the secret room, Eli was in a deep state of prayer as she was using her paladin powers.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ She was already kneeling beside the stone table, her hands clenched together, placed to her beating heart.
Wisey was receiving the report of the earth fairies and kept telling Eli of the happenings above ground.
As Eli heard the progress above, her mind sunk deeper into a state of prayer, seemingly not caring about the place she was now in.
However, the next moment, Baobao's eyes flashed in shock as he felt someone fastly approaching in their direction.
"Not good! Someone is coming in our direction!"
