You call this the mastermind?

From the outside, the Imperial Army Camp looks like a small town built on the river bank. The buildings in the town are all made of rock, lined up in rows, and distributed in a very regular manner.

In normal times, this classical town would look very peaceful when bathed in the moonlight.

But now, chaos has taken over this place.

Roaring, wailing, shouting, panicked screaming...

Accompanied by noisy sounds, the swift magic light shoots horizontally and even vertically at the hostile figures like lightning, illuminating the surrounding environment.

Colorful energy fluctuations frequently erupted, and translucent force field shields and special protective clothing became the main means for people to protect themselves.

The people of the three forces were entangled together, and first gathered at the entrance of the military camp.

But as the battle continued, the scope of the battlefield has gradually spread, and the dangerous area has also expanded.

In less than ten minutes, the offensive spells were like stray bullets and filled various locations in the military camp. Many ordinary people who were unfortunately affected had no resistance to it at all. If they were touched, they would be either dead or disabled.

But this was just a battle between ordinary wizards.

The dungeon entrance, the military camp command center, and the road where a crazy girl was escorted had become similar Jedi. Anyone who approached would disappear inexplicably.

Some lucky ones would suddenly fall out of the air soon after, while the unfortunate ones did not even leave a body.

These three places quickly became a vacuum zone, which was particularly strange.

Everything was foreshadowing that there would be a large number of casualties tonight.

But before the disaster happened, no one could realize that the number of people buried here would actually be much more than imagined -

Just like the morning light piercing the darkness, a ray of light quietly descended on this dark world.

The people caught in the melee did not notice it at first, but when the night environment, which should have been turbid, gradually became brighter and the faint light penetrated like a cold dawn, everyone instantly realized that the situation was abnormal.

However, the crazy situation will not change because of the abnormal surrounding environment. Although a few people quickly left the battle when they saw the bad situation, most people had no time to care about it.

Until the faint light intertwined with the night quickly turned into the brightness of the morning, until everything around was as clear as in the daytime.

They realized how serious the situation was.

Because the day and night were reversed, when the "sunlight" covered countless cheeks, it was accompanied by a burst of pain!

So much so that in just a moment, a large number of face-covering wailing became the main melody in this lakeside military camp.

But the stinging was just the beginning, and then attached was a severe burning sensation, so strong that it even burned them all over!

It was as if the sacred light was purifying a group of unclean undead souls, and countless figures were running around like ants scalded by boiling water, but they could not stop their bodies from shrinking and withering rapidly.

Some smart people ran out of the military camp and jumped into the nearby river, but their fate was equally tragic.

Because the river water cannot prevent the penetration of light.

Or, this strange light seems to be everywhere!

Imperials, believers of truth, wizards who came to rescue the girl, and even members of the Church of the Sun who were imprisoned deep in the military camp...

The indiscriminate burning made this place a purgatory on earth in a short period of time, and the previous crazy melee has long become a thing of the past.

But the strange thing is that not everyone suffered this cruel torture.

A small number of people, when bathing in this "sunlight", not only did not feel any pain, but felt relaxed all over, their wounds healed quickly, and their fatigue was quickly relieved.

"This is the light of judgment from the true God!"

In the military camp prison, several companions beside him were hunched over and trembling in pain like mummies, but a thin middle-aged man in prison clothes was shouting excitedly. "All sinners will be purified, and only the pure can get rewards."

"Look, you bunch of idiots, look carefully, who is justice!"

Few people noticed his crazy roar, because the dungeon was also filled with screams and wails.

But Melen noticed it.

Because he was standing not far from the other side, wearing a full body of silver knight armor, full of mystery.

He is very tall now, at least two meters, and his appearance is also very conspicuous.

However, the people around him ignored him, including a thin old man covered in blood who was kneeling on the ground and praying silently to summon him.

This man looked very ordinary, with wounds all over his body, which were healing rapidly at this moment.

And the prayers he was chanting seemed to be the root of the problem that summoned Melen.

It is a pity that this kind of chanting was silent, without any sound at all, and Melen could not recognize what the man was mumbling.

Considering that interrupting the other party might make him disappear, Melen thought about it and simply walked out of the dungeon.

The surrounding environment changed with his arrival, and some people in the dungeon were tortured cruelly. Everything was telling that the "upgrade" of the mysterious knight's vest was beyond his cognition.

But to know the specific situation, he needed to go outside and take a closer look.

However, when Melen came to the town-like military camp through the dungeon exit, he was attracted by other phenomena.

That was a sun quietly existing in the sky.

But unlike a normal sun, it looked a little black, and around it, there were several strange golden rune chains spinning and entwining faintly, like some kind of imprisonment, but also like protection.

What is this?

Melen was puzzled.

Was it some special phenomenon that appeared with his arrival?

Or, after the mysterious knight's vest was upgraded, he could see this sun that already existed?

There was no clue that could make him think deeply about this matter, and after seeing the miserable situation of wailing all around, he didn't feel embarrassed to continue thinking about other things.

As soon as he thought about it, the rich "sunlight" around him instantly converged and was replaced by darkness.

However, although night fell again, the sun in the sky still existed, but it looked quite dim.

"Hello, I'm Athena."

Just as Melen looked up and observed the sun, a greeting suddenly sounded.

Following the sound, he turned his head and saw a girl who looked very short compared to him, quietly observing him not far away.

Melen was surprised that she could see him.

But what surprised him even more was the next sentence she said.

"Are you the child of destiny they are talking about?"
