Chapter 242: Fading Doubts

Angelo was stunned as well.

Just as his Arcane Lance finished casting, he perceived a knight brilliantly shining with golden light charge through the Wrathbound Demon and block its greatsword with a greataxe.

That was why Angelo redirected his Arcane Lance toward another Wrathbound Demon while his gaze remained fixated on the Radiant Knight.

The Radiant Knight swiftly raised his greataxe and swung it toward the abdomen of the huge demon.

The Wrathbound Demon roared and issued a challenge toward the Radiant Knight.

Its rage accumulated at a rapid speed, evident from the manifestation of its aura, which continuously increased its physical durability.

The accumulated rage also temporarily converted into increased physical power while removing hesitation and dulling its response to pain.

The Wrathbound Demon was at its absolute peak when it engaged in a duel against Darius.

Darius was naturally stunned.

He gritted his teeth and increased the momentum of his greataxe.

Suddenly, his greataxe began to glow with brilliant light as Radiant Mana accumulated along its path.

Previously, for Darius to execute his Radiant Demolition skill, he had to remain completely still to gather enough Radiant Mana.

Now, he could accumulate it simply by swinging his greataxe.

Its efficiency was significantly better than before.

In other words, he could execute Radiant Demolition without being frozen in place.

Of course, the accumulated Radiant Mana was only half that of a true, completed Radiant Demolition.

Even so, when the greataxe landed against the abdomen of the Wrathbound Demon, where it was covered by thick black armor, Radiant Demolition was executed.

The greataxe pierced through the armor.

It struggled for only a moment before continuing through the demon’s flesh.

The Wrathbound Demon did not even utter a cry of agony.

Instead, it swung its greatsword toward Darius.

Despite the movement intensifying the agony coursing through its body, especially as it mustered the strength necessary to swing its greatsword, the Wrathbound Demon’s fierce expression did not change.

It simply continued fighting.

Perceiving the greatsword aiming to slice him from behind, Darius suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He reacted immediately.

Darius ran forward and hacked his greataxe away from the Wrathbound Demon.

He appeared behind the demon while retrieving his greataxe.

The Wrathbound Demon lost its balance after striking nothing, but it recovered almost instantly.

Darius took the opportunity to gather Radiant Mana.

Once he saw the Wrathbound Demon recover, he raised his greataxe, deliberately drawing its attention.

The Wrathbound Demon’s attention was instantly pulled toward the Radiant Mana.

It roared with extreme rage and swung its greatsword toward Darius.

But it was already heavily injured.

Its slow and sluggish movements were greatly affected by the wound.

The Wrathbound Demon became even more infuriated after realizing that its body could no longer execute the movements it desired.

Its accumulated rage drew in even more demonic mana.

The demonic mana surged toward its wound, burning away the lingering Radiant Mana and allowing its physique to recover.

Now that the Wrathbound Demon had returned to its peak form, it faced Darius and roared once again before charging toward him.

However, at this point, Darius’s greataxe had accumulated enough Radiant Mana.

The weapon was now brilliantly shining like a miniature sun.

The demon hunters were naturally captivated by the sight.

Especially those who had already thought they would never see another day because of their battle against the demons.

While they were momentarily in a daze, they were startled awake by another sight.

Radiant Knights were charging into the battlefield.

They attacked the demons without hesitation, specifically targeting the Greater Demons.

Some of them also carried greataxes and possessed an unstoppable momentum similar to Darius.

The demon hunters were stunned.

Has the reinforcements arrived?

Just as they thought so, they suddenly felt a familiar yet overwhelming presence.

The Authority of Salvation.

At the same time, they suddenly felt their wounds healing at an astonishing speed.

The demonic mana that had been slowly corrupting their bodies was instantly purged.

Their exhausted bodies suddenly became filled with vigor, as if they could fight again just as they had at the beginning of the battle.

Although they were mentally worn out, their physical recovery alone was enough to bolster their morale.

They shouted and fought back after receiving orders from their respective tacticians.

Coincidentally, the Authority of Salvation had suddenly become their ally.

Their resistance against demonic mana increased.

Their magic resistance increased.

Their natural recovery from wounds accelerated.

Their resistance to fear and corruption soared.

And most importantly, the Authority of Salvation suddenly prevented each of them from receiving lethal damage once.

Such blessings from an unknown origin not only restored them to their peak condition, but caused their morale to soar.

The reinforcements had arrived.

A reinforcement force capable of single-handedly shifting the war in their favor.

Even as the demon hunters found themselves surrounded from both sides, with the demons seemingly attempting to completely encircle them, they suddenly became far more difficult to swallow.

The Radiant Knights led the charge.

They tore into the demon army and engaged the Greater Demons directly.

Angelo saw one of the Radiant Knights split a Wrathbound Demon in half with a single swing of his greataxe.

Although the Radiant Knight had already exhausted his mana afterward, he continued charging toward the Greater Demons.

He soon engaged a middle-rank Greater Demon and killed it alongside the assistance of the surrounding demon hunters.

Angelo was honestly surprised.

The Radiant Knight who had killed the Wrathbound Demon was obviously stronger than the other three Radiant Knights wielding greataxes.

However, even those three could fight a middle-rank Greater Demon toe-to-toe before eventually defeating it with the assistance of their allies.

The existence behind these Radiant Knights was naturally someone to be feared.

Obviously, their Summoner was at B-rank.

And he might not have even reached the middle of B-rank yet.

Even Angelo wondered—

If the Summoner reaches the peak of B-rank, would I be able to defeat him if we fought?

He couldn’t help but recall the rumors surrounding his Guild Master.

The Guild Master...

He’s rumored to be a Summoner who can summon knights clad in golden armor.

They are terrifying indeed.

Their Radiant Mana is even more effective against demons...

As if they were born to fight them.

No wonder...

The doubts Angelo had about his Guild Master slowly faded.

Just watching the Guild Master’s summons change the course of the battlefield by themselves was enough to make his admiration for Max grow.
