314 Chapter 314
The huge golden barrier finally started to crack and soon dispersed leaving everyone with an expression of shock and bewilderment.
The soldiers were startled for a moment seeing the barrier collapsing and their minds were filled with worry.
They wondered whether this was due to Saintess voluntarily breaking it or she had collapsed due to overwork and thinking about this, they sincerely prayed that it might not be the second thing.
Athena\'s body weakened a bit and her posture tilted as if she was going to fall to the ground due to fatigue but Alex appeared beside her to support her.
"Athena, you have pushed yourself too hard." Alex\'s voice softly resounded in her ears
"Highness!"
Everyone screamed in delight seeing Alex\'s presence.
Ales just nodded hearing their cheers and looked towards the distant land.
"Shouldn\'t you first check the battlefield and don\'t worry I am not falling, just my legs have become a bit numb ?" Athena asked after seeing Alex\'s worried gaze.
"I was going there, but seeing you I thought I should get a feel of my Big Sis Athena."
Athena\'s eyes widened and an understanding look flashed in her eyes, she nodded her eyes.
"Sure enough, I was correct about that."
"What?"Alex asked with a frown.
"You are a pervert, "Athena whispered.
Alex"....."
...…
The war had been going on for around two days and both sides didn\'t seem to be taking a step back.
At first, it was just a matter of hundreds but soon it began to rise rapidly.
The sea of undead seemed to have no end at all and they spawned at regular intervals.
Even though there was no blood, the places were filled with pieces of the rotten carcass, piles of bones joined together to form a mountain and no matter where one looked, one could at least find a piece of a dead body.
As everyone was busy pushing back the enemies, a loud familiar voice reverberated amid the battle.
"Yo, long time no see."
Everyone\'s expression changed a bit as soon as they heard the voice.
Some were happy, some were nostalgic and some even had tears as soon as they heard the voice.
Christina kicked an enemy and stared at the floating figure that was shining brightly under the rays of the sun.
Christina became a bit emotional seeing his figure.
Alex laughed a bit seeing everyone\'s longing gaze and said"Wow, we have such bones to use as fertiliser, the crops will surely grow well."
Alex\'s eyes gleamed insanely and the bright glow spread around.
"Those who want to rest, take a break and those who want to fight to follow me," Alex muttered and spread his arms.
The entire sky lit up brightly with the presence of thousands of light arrows and following Alex\'s command, they started to rain down on the enemies.
Alex waves his hand and small golden orbs start to float beside Alex.
In the next moment, the small orbs flew like shots of cannons and exploded like a bomb on touching the enemies.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM
The explosion started to take place one after another to everyone\'s surprise.
Alex\'s body crashed on the ground and a huge surge of light spread like a shockwave all around for a radius of a hundred metres.
The undead were burnt and evaporated from their existence as soon as the sacred light fell on them.
The power of sacred light swept those further away turning all the enemies into scattered dust.
Christina walked and stood beside Alex.
The intense light didn\'t affect Christina, rather her body started to emit a faint light similar to it.
"Alex, what is going on with this undead, "Christina asked curiously.
Alex kept his mouth shut for a moment and contemplated what to say about this.
After all, he can\'t simply admit that he had a hand in it. He destroyed the dimension but he forgot to put the power of darkness into good use and all the energy contained in that dimension gushed out from the various portals connected to the gateway.
Unfortunately, one of the gateways seemed to be present in the remote region of Amidon.
The energy of darkness can convert a dead body into an undead, that\'s what he thought previously but using his knowledge and witnessing various scenes on the way, Alex noticed many things that made his scale numb.
Some creatures of cheap copies of darkness have also slipped through and have appeared in the world.
So, the situation was way worse than it seems.
Alex turned towards Christina.
"Christina, I have to go deep into the enemy territory."
"Huh!!" Christina was perplexed for a moment on hearing his words.
"There is no end to them. To stop them, I need to nip them in the bud. There is something inside there that is turning them into undead. I need to destroy that thing no matter what."
"I will also accompany you. You can\'t go alone. It\'s dangerous." Christina stepped up with a resolute gaze.
"Your face looks pale as if you have been injured. It seems as if you are in pain."
Seeing her expression, Alex chuckled and raised his hand to pat her.
Christina was quite tall when compared to other women and Alex\'s height was similar to hers so his hands froze in the middle.
\'I still have a few years to grow.\'Alex sighed and patted her shoulder instead of her head.
"I am a bit exhausted due to travelling."
"You are here, that\'s why I can freely move inside. You are one of the best generals I have seen, General Christina." Alex spoke and gave her a salute.
Christina pondered for a moment and nodded her head.
"Stay safe. Don\'t take any risks. You can run away if you find a strong person who can beat you to death." Christina spoke with a serious expression clenching her first.
Although it sounded quite genuine Alex didn\'t know why it looked like she was mocking her.
The glow coming from Alex diminished which let the undead breathe the air of relief and start their assault again.
Alex turned his back and his gaze penetrated deep inside the forest land.
Alex could now finally use the element of darkness faintly so using concealment, he sneaked in between the group of the undead under Christina\'s gaze who started to reassemble the troops.
