Chapter 119: – The Lord Is With Us (40)

༺ The Lord Is With Us (40) ༻

Maintaining a clear line of sight was difficult amidst the chaos of a battle.

The clash of metal reverberated from all directions, and the sight of sparks spewing forth as the blades clashed against each other was disorienting. Additionally, an unending torrent of blood and anguished screams filled the air.

Both vision and hearing were obscured, yet even amid such circumstances, there was no margin for error in judgment.

This was a battlefield where lives were taken and lost. Even a moment’s hesitation could prove fatal and result in my neck being pierced by the enemy.

Puk!

With a resounding crack, my hatchet descended upon the head of a demonic monkey, unleashing a spray of blood.

Hesitation was not an option. Out of nowhere, a demonic monkey managed to find an opening and seized the opportunity to charge towards the Saintess and Senior Elsie.

Swiftly, I grasped my hatchet and flung it like it was a throwing knife.

Puk!

With another crack, the hatchet lodged itself into the side of the monkey’s skull. And just like that, another life was snuffed out on the battlefield.

The demonic monkeys kept swarming like an unrelenting tide, and I had to kill every oncoming monkey with one or two swift strikes to keep afloat.

Before long, the corpses of the monkeys piled up like a small hill. Though the majority were slain by the swordsmen on the frontline, the Saintess and Senior Elsie also contributed significantly.

“O Lord, please grant us your shield of faith in the midst of adversity and suffering!”

With the soft cry of the Saintess, a brilliant white light enveloped our bodies. It was an armor of holy power capable of blocking even the most fatal blows a couple of times.

It wasn’t just that. An unprecedented vitality surged within me. With enhanced strength and agility, it became easier to wipe out the demonic beasts.

Senior Elsie assisted us in a more conspicuous manner.
