Chapter 24: Sacred Awakening, Scion of Light (IV)
Long Haochen used the edge, the flat part, and even the handle of the heavy swords in his hands; they seemed to be able to deal with all the opponent's bamboo sword attacks. Momentarily, the sword's shadow glimmered, coating his whole body just like a huge ball of light. He continuously used his Sacred Light abilities. He coordinated them with his defense while he was using the pair of heavy swords.
When facing Long Xingyu's attacks, if Long Haochen showed the slightest weakness, the bamboo sword would immediately fall on his body and hurt a lot more than the owl-ants' attacks. However, the strange thing was that Long Haochen managed to resist. Although Long Xingyu looked quite serious, at the same time, he wasn't able to break through Long Haochen's defenses.
After a quarter-hour of continuous battle, Long Xingyu's bamboo sword suddenly shined. A white radiance expanded and thousands of swords appeared in front of Long Haochen.
Long Haochen was still waving his pair of swords. He didn't expect that attack from Long Xingyu, but it was clearly not the first time that kind of situation had occurred.
The handle of the heavy sword in his left hand was knocked against the one in his right hand, then he slashed before him with the heavy sword in his right hand, while swinging the one in his left hand. With a flash of golden light, Thorny Charge was used against the bamboo sword.
A soft tinkling sound rang. The swords were swung, but the bamboo sword that was in the path of the charge didn't show the slightest change. Using the momentum from his previous block, Long Haochen advanced.
With a clear ringing sound, a layer of golden light immediately undulated from Long Haochen's body: it was Divine Obstruction. Against Long Xingyu's stab, he had to use all the spiritual energy he had left to form Divine Obstruction, which enabled him to withstand it.
"Great, you did well this time. You were able to act calmly. I see that the actual combat training we did on a daily basis did not go to waste."
Taking his bamboo sword back, the smiling Long Xingyu nodded in front of Long Haochen. However, Long Haochen was panting, his clothes soaked with sweat. Even though his father didn't use spiritual energy based attacks, Long Haochen was still overwhelmed by his power.
Long Xingyu went in front of Long Haochen, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go home to rest for a little while, your mother should be almost done with the midday meal."
"Okay." Long Haochen's face was also joyful.
Despite the fact that during that year and a half, he had painstakingly trained every day, it was still the happiest period of his life. His mother's face was always smiling, and his formidable father instructed him. That kind of life was far from a dull one. It was, on the contrary, full of happiness.
When both father and son arrived in front of the log cabin, Long Xingyu's feet suddenly stopped, his eyes revealing a severe gaze.
Long Haochen also felt the change in his father's breath. He gave a terrifyingly almighty ancient-dragon-like feeling that prevented Haochen from breathing calmly.
Long Xingyu loosened his grip on Long Haochen's hand and slowly turned back, taking light steps. In the next instant, Long Haochen opened his mouth wide. From his father's body, a dense gold colored radiance erupted, raising his body into the sky and enabling him to fly.
Despite having trained for more than two years with his father, Long Haochen didn't know what level his father's true strength was at. At that very moment, seeing that his father could go as far as to be able to rely on his spiritual energy to soar in the sky gave him an extremely big shock.
At the same time, two golden lights could be seen in Long Xingyu's eyes as he gazed from afar towards Odin Town.
Without waiting for Long Haochen to recover from the shock, he went down to the ground, his eyes revealing a cold expression. "The demon race's armed forces launched a sneak attack, we have to go."
Simultaneously, he grabbed Long Haochen's arm and soared once more into the sky.
Long Xingyu's fully condensed spiritual energy took the form of a pair of golden wings that spread out from his back.
Spiritual energy transformation was an ability used by 6th step Radiant Knights, but Long Xingyu's wings were over 10 meters wide, and were covered by dozens of golden feathers that looked just like real feathers. How could ordinary spiritual energy accomplish such a feat so easily?
As the enormous pair of outstretched wings appeared, a gold-colored aura enveloped Long Xingyu and his son. The pair of wings suddenly fanned, and both of them immediately headed towards the direction of Odin Town with the speed of a meteor.
What Long Haochen didn't notice was that, upon seeing Long Xingyu's pair of wings, all the beings from Odin Mountain to the inside of the forest, regardless of whether they were magical beasts or wild ones, all stopped moving on the ground. They were so alarmed and helpless before that sight that they did not dare to move the slightest bit.
The scenery seemed to turn into a gold-colored world, the dense Light energy wrapped everything around them, and Long Haochen could feel his internal spiritual energy boiling. During that short moment, his internal spiritual energy was rising, but that was only because the Light attribute energy that was produced around them, at that moment, was too formidable. That showed how powerful the Light energy released by Long Xingyu was.
It felt as if only a few seconds had passed when the golden light suddenly scattered and Long Haochen could see where they were.
Odin Town…? After such a small amount of time, we are actually already back in Odin Town‽
Long Haochen couldn't believe his own eyes, but the fact was that, before his eyes and below his feet, that was the same Odin Town where he grew up.
However, the current Odin Town had lost its originally calm and quiet atmosphere. A lot of places were burning, and sounds of crying continuously resounded. Miserable shrieks and sounds of destruction flooded each corner of Odin Town.
Long Haochen saw at least a thousand tall black-armored monsters with big, robust bodies. They were the ones wreaking havoc in Odin Town.
These monsters were at least 1.8 meters tall. Each of them had the head of a wolf and the body of a human at the same time. They waved curved swords and Odin Town's inhabitants were currently being slaughtered by them. Sad and shrill cries could be heard everywhere, and these ferocious wolf-like creatures were ceaselessly howling loudly.
More than 3,000 households were supposed to be living in Odin Town, housing 20,000 inhabitants, but at that moment, it had become a sea of blood and corpses. Dense blood was scattered everywhere, and the scene could make anyone feel like vomiting.
"Father, what are they?" Long Haochen's voice was filled with anger: that was the place where he grew up! He had seen, just now with his own eyes, one of his former little companions being cut into two parts by a wolf-headed monster that was wielding a curved sword. The front part of his body was lying on the ground and, after he let out his last shrill, agonizingly sad cry, his internal organs started spreading all around.
"Werewolves, from the demon race." Long Xingyu answered with a cold voice, and an impressive pressure could be felt being released from his body.
The people below, completely terrified by the werewolves, subconsciously looked up. Seeing the two enormous wings spreading from Long Xingyu's back, they couldn't help feeling completely astonished by his appearance.
"Father, let me go down, I am going to kill them!" Long Haochen shouted angrily.
"Your strength is far from sufficient." Long Xingyu said in a low voice. "Haochen, didn't you always want to see your father's actual strength? Then, take a good look."
A gold-red ring of light surged out from Long Xingyu's back as an enormous bright gold throne, shining with a magnificent brilliance, slowly appeared from the gold-red ring of light.
