Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 993 - 452: Awakening of the Holy Hall

These Knights hailed from the elite forces of the Eternal Night Council—the formidable Eclipse Moon Knight Order. For a considerable time, they had lurked in the shadows, observing David and the Witches, awaiting the opportune moment to strike and annihilate them all at once.

Faced with this sudden, unexpected ambush, the Witches immediately retaliated with a fierce counterattack.

Amy unleashed her potent Ice Magic, instantly encasing the charging Knights at the forefront into solid ice statues;

Hill, in response, summoned Earth’s Fury, causing colossal earthen walls to erupt from the ground, effectively blocking the Knights' advance;

Cynthia expertly cast an Illusion Technique, conjuring a dizzying array of phantoms to thoroughly disorient the Knights' vision.

However, the Eclipse Moon Knight Order proved to be no ordinary adversaries. They swiftly perceived through the Witches' deceptive tactics and began to adapt their strategies accordingly.

Utilizing the exceptional agility of their Ghost Warhorses, they expertly navigated through the swirling magical storm, launching relentless assaults upon the Witches.

Concurrently, they unleashed a peculiar form of Dark Magic, intending to corrupt the Witches' resolve and sap their strength.

Just as the battle reached a critical stalemate, Liliana unexpectedly stepped forward.

She was the designated Healer of their group, typically tasked with providing crucial support and mending the Witches.

Yet, in this moment of dire crisis, she resolved to cast her most powerful spell—the Mother Tree Root System Weaving Barrier.

Liliana gently closed her eyes, inhaled deeply, and then slowly extended her arms.

A soft, verdant luminescence began to emanate from her hands. This light rapidly coalesced into robust roots that intertwined amidst the tempest, forming an expansive protective barrier.

This formidable barrier not only repelled the Knights' attacks but also began to steadily stabilize the ice ship, which had been violently tossed by the raging storm.

The Witches, witnessing this miraculous intervention, were filled with immense joy and immediately capitalized on the opportunity to launch an even more aggressive offensive.

However, at that precise juncture, an unforeseen catastrophe struck.

Otas, the scholar belonging to the Star Pupil Race, suddenly cried out in alarm. He pointed towards a visible fissure in the barrier, exclaiming, "Look! There's an Abyss Rune there!"

The Witches followed the direction Otas indicated and, indeed, observed a minuscule crack marring the barrier. From this hairline fracture, a profound, malevolent aura seeped outwards.

This aura was unmistakably identical to the Abyssal Power they had previously encountered—it had clearly been placed there intentionally.

"What is happening?" Amy inquired, her brow furrowed in concern.

Otas stammered, his face drained of color, "I... When I was previously examining the Abyss Rune, I might have inadvertently left some residual traces. I never anticipated they would activate at such a critical moment..."

Before he could finish his explanation, that very Abyssal Power abruptly surged from the crack, rapidly deteriorating the very foundation of the barrier.

The barrier began to sway precariously and tremble violently, appearing as though it might shatter at any second.

"We must reinforce the barrier immediately!" Liliana urged with palpable anxiety. "Otherwise, we are all doomed to perish here!"

Yet, confronted by that overwhelming Abyssal Power, the Witches' spells seemed utterly inadequate.

They channeled all their collective might into their incantations, but the breach in the barrier only widened, allowing the Abyssal Power to flood in unchecked.

At this critical juncture, David stepped forward.

He drew a deep breath, then slowly closed his eyes.

He could sense the Divine Power stirring within him, resonating with the remnants of the Ancient God found within the storm; an immense force coursed through his being.

"David, what are you planning to do?" Amy asked, her voice tinged with worry.

David offered no verbal response. He simply and silently began to awaken the Divine Power dormant within him.

Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open and bellowed, "Divine Resonance!"

As his commanding shout echoed, a potent Energy Wave erupted from his core, instantly harmonizing with the Ancient God remains present in the storm.

The ancient remnants appeared to be roused, unleashing a blinding radiance that intertwined and merged seamlessly with David's own Divine Power.

Under the influence of this fused power, the crack within the barrier commenced a slow process of healing, and the corrosive effects of the Abyssal Power were progressively held at bay.

Simultaneously, David seized this crucial moment to invert the control over the storm's Energy, transforming it into his own formidable power and unleashing a devastating offensive against the Eclipse Moon Knight Order.

Brilliant beams of light surged from David's outstretched hands, impacting the Knights with full force.

These radiant projectiles carried the immense power of the Ancient God remnants combined with David's own Divinity, their might proving utterly overwhelming.

The Knights began to fall, one after another, beneath the onslaught of light, while their Ghost Warhorses emitted piercing, sorrowful screams.

The commander of the Eclipse Moon Knight Order watched in sheer shock and horror. He had never conceived that David could so effortlessly decimate their elite forces.

He hastily issued the command to withdraw, leading the remaining Knights away, and they vanished back into the billowing storm.

The Witches exhaled in collective relief and gathered around David, showering him with congratulations.

Liliana, overcome with excitement, even embraced him tightly, expressing her profound gratitude for saving the entire team.

David simply shook his head with a gentle smile, replying, "This is precisely what I should do. We are a unified team. Only by standing together can we surmount every obstacle."

This engagement, David gained an even more profound appreciation for the might and latent capability of his Divine Power.

He also foresaw that their future expeditions would present more severe tests and obstacles.

Despite this, he experienced no apprehension or desire to falter; he was confident that with continued unity and bold advancement, they would invariably conquer every hurdle and realize their aspirations and objectives.

While navigating the Chaos Realm, David stumbled upon a significant hint: the remnants of the Ancient God appeared to hold an enigmatic link to the Spring of Life.

This discovery solidified his conviction regarding the Spring of Life's reality and the wonders it was capable of bestowing.

As the Plane storm within the Chaos Realm began to subside, the immense roots of the World Tree gradually emerged in the emptiness. They intertwined and coiled, seemingly murmuring directions, charting a course for David and the Witches.
