Chapter 131 131 Those who believe in the dawn can be resurrected even after death!
Chapter 131 131. With faith in the Dawn, even death can be overcome!
Old Bilka was practically a blood-soaked figure, his lower body reduced to bare, white bones, yet he still lay on the ground, wailing and struggling.
The onlookers, both believers and members of the Hundred Races Alliance, finally understood the meaning of being sliced into a thousand pieces.
Each slice was like carving a piece of meat, yet an Elven powerhouse kept him alive, preventing him from immediate death.
This kind of punishment sent shivers down the spines of many.
But considering what Old Bilka had done, they felt it was entirely justified.
Remember the domain name of the first website 饾暐 饾暔 饾暅 饾晵 饾暉 . 饾晹 饾暊 饾暈
Such extreme punishment was the best gift for a traitor.
Old Bilka endured over three thousand cuts, practically becoming a skeleton like an undead warrior.
His demonic constitution and the Elven enhancements were finally exhausted, and he died.
"Drag him away and leave his corpse in the wilderness!"
Laceia waved her hand expressionlessly, and an Elven mage stepped forward, waving his staff, taking the barely recognizable remains of Old Bilka away.
"The trial is over!"
Laceia slammed the end of her staff heavily on the cloud ladder and announced loudly:
"From this day on, the Day of Judgment will be a fixed festival for the Dawn Divine Sect! Every year on this day, the Pillar of the Black Book of the Dawn Divine Sect will publicly try heretics!"
"Believers of the Dawn, remember, killing and judgment are not the goal, but a warning!"
"The Dawn is merciful, but it should also have a heart that hates evil!"
"I hope everyone will stand firm in their faith and do what is right! The Dawn Divine Sect will never coexist with the demons!"
These words made Neptune and the others' blood boil.
The Hundred Races Alliance should have such an anti-demon stance!
Clearly, the Rodri Continent belonged to them in the first place, so why should they carry out the Fire Seed Project and flee?
It should be the demons who flee!
After exchanging a glance with Hestor, Neptune's thoughts became even more firm.
They were all chosen ones who were unwilling to accept the Fire Seed Project. They had never seen hope before and could only accept the orders to continue their race reluctantly.
But now鈥?,"Counterattacking the demons wasn't without a chance!
Neptune's eyes were fixed on Ian.
He must visit this Pope as soon as possible!
The trial was over, but the people present had not yet dispersed.
Because Ian and the others were still sitting high on the cloud ladder.
It seemed there was something else.
After all the corpses on the judgment platform were taken away, Lily Ellis took action.
She summoned endless streams of water to wash away the bloodstains from the judgment platform.
After a long time, the Dawn Knights reappeared.
But this time, they were more solemn than before, and there was even a hint of sorrow in the atmosphere.
Four knights carried a huge coffin onto the judgment platform and stood beside it after placing it down.
Looking at the name and the Dawn flag engraved on the coffin, the people of God's Advent City understood.
These were the warriors of the Silver Armor Pillar who had sacrificed themselves in the Holy War.
The mood of the people could not help but become heavy.
These warriors of the Silver Armor Pillar were different. They were not just an army, but also children of the Dawn like them.
In order to win what they deserved for all the children of the Dawn, these young warriors were killed by the demons.
There was a faint sob in the field for a while.
Especially the people who came from the Origin Land to observe.
Those who fell here were basically their relatives and friends, the army that had offered their faith to the Dawn Divine Sect the earliest.
Even Old Matthew stared blankly at one of the coffins.
Lying inside was a young man who was not particularly strong, with his hands folded in front of his chest, his face full of peace.
Faintly, one could see a bloodstain on his neck.
That was the knight he had guided when he first became a priest in the Origin Land.
Jerome.
At that time, they were still called the Papal Army.
Perhaps it was because they were so similar, Matthew had no children, and Jerome had no family, so Matthew treated Jerome as his own child.
Jerome never disappointed him.
He was full of vigor, worked hard, and had loyal faith.
He watched Jerome come step by step with respect for the Dawn.
From being malnourished and emaciated, to joining the Papal Army and practicing hard to kill enemies and become a reliable soldier.
Finally, he joined the Dawn Knights and became a heroic Dawn Heavy Cavalry.
Not long ago, he was even promoted to a captain leading a hundred men.
Matthew always said that Jerome would have a brighter future.
As long as he continued to have firm faith like now, he would one day become an outstanding Dawn warrior famous throughout the Rodri Continent.
Now, this young knight with unlimited potential was lying down.
Markoff said that Jerome had a chance to survive.
But in order to buy time for his comrades, he fearlessly launched a charge against the mind flayer warriors who were stronger than him.
In the end, he was killed by the swarming mind flayers.
To say that he was sad, Matthew was indeed sadder than anyone else about Jerome's sacrifice, but he was even more proud of Jerome.
He never forgot his duty as a child of the Dawn and as a Dawn Heavy Cavalry of the Silver Armor Pillar.
Matthew firmly believed that Jerome could surely impress the Dawn with his devout faith, causing the Dawn to open its arms and guide him into heaven, always by the Dawn's side.
Closing his eyes, Markoff tried his best to maintain the dignity of the Bishop of the Dawn Domain.
If he shed tears under the spotlight, it would be too embarrassing for the Pope.
The judgment platform was not very large after all, and at most it could only hold ten Dawn Knights and ten Night Watchers.
When the coffin was placed, Ian slowly stood up with a compassionate expression.
"Nine hundred and eighty-seven Dawn Knights, one hundred and twenty-three Night Watcher warriors!"
"They hold on to the faith of the Dawn and practice the kindness of the Dawn."
"In order to make those who deserve happiness happy, young lives have become cold and bone-chilling numbers."
Ian looked around at the silent people.
"Just as you, who are loyal, should enjoy happiness, they, who are devout, should not have died here!"
"They should have embraced the love of the Dawn with their young lives! Continue to practice the will of the Dawn until the long night breaks!"
"But now鈥?because of despicable traitors! Because of lowly demons!"
"They are lying here!"
"Children of the Dawn, answer me! Can we retreat before the demons? Can the continent of Rodri share its land with the demons?"
After a long silence, a unified roar echoed between heaven and earth.
"No!!!"
Ian slammed the Holy Realm Guardian Staff down.
"As long as the demons exist for a day! The Holy War of the Dawn will not cease!"
"We will annihilate the demons! Make them pay the price for their invasion!"
"That day will surely come!"
Ian stood straight before the throne on the Cloud Top, reaching out and pointing towards the Demon King's Claw outside the city.
"The demons are powerful!"
"They have countless legions! Unstoppable powerhouses! Seven Demon Kings who oppress the world!"
"But my dear children, we have the Dawn!"
Ian finally moved, step by step, towards the judgment platform below the Cloud Ladder.
Towards those twenty coffins.
"The miracle of the Dawn has already proven that the demons are not invincible!"
"We annihilated the main force of the thirty thousand troops from the Domain of Arrogance with tens of thousands of soldiers!"
"We used the united power bestowed by the Dawn to kill the Four Horsemen of Calamity!"
"We used the power of faith to sever the Demon King's right arm!"
"The demons are powerful, but not terrifying!"
"Under the miracle of the Dawn, we will eventually dispel the eternal night of the demons and personally bring dawn to the continent of Rodri!"
"And now!"
As the words fell, Ian stood before the coffins, raising the Holy Realm Guardian Staff high.
Markov and the others had already realized that an incredible miracle was about to be displayed before everyone's eyes.
Immediately, they stood up one by one, staring at Ian with anticipation.
The latter closed his eyes, his tone becoming peaceful and serene.
"Listen to the Dawn's praise for the noble!"
"When the lamb dies for righteousness, it will become an immortal shepherd."
"Under the love of the Dawn, His most loyal children will turn death into a choice!"
"Thus He said: Heroes are immortal!"
The Holy Realm Guardian Staff began to flicker, emitting a milky white, gentle, and holy light.
The light enveloped Ian, gradually expanding.
It was like a gentle sun falling on the scene.
The light continued to expand, and in an instant, it perfectly covered the entire judgment platform, covering the corpses of the twenty Silver Armor Pillar warriors.
In the darkness, everyone held their breath and widened their eyes.
They seemed to have already felt that the Dawn in heaven had now personally descended upon this place.
Right under the light, in the presence of His Holiness the Pope!
Hundreds of thousands of souls emitted joyful and eager signals at this moment, and gradually, the first person knelt to the ground.
Then, like harvesting wheat, row after row fell.
Even the guests from the Hundred Races Alliance couldn't help but kneel down, their faces filled with piety.
"The Lord promised鈥"
Suddenly, a majestic and grand sigh came from the light.
"He who believes in Me, though he dies, yet shall he live."
"The pure soul will surely be cared for by Me, like the morning light shining on the dew, like the spring breeze awakening the earth, like the river flowing, washing away all suffering."
"The righteous soul will be lifted from the realm of death by the light, and sit with Me, enjoying joy and peace forever in My kingdom."
"Return, return!"
"Continue to the dawn with My glory!"
The light became more and more pure and radiant, until finally, the sound of a heartbeat echoed on this silent land.
The holy light also dissipated.
When everyone rubbed their eyes that were tearing up from the holy light and barely opened their eyes.
Ian had returned to the throne on the Cloud Top, as if he had never moved a step.
This scene made everyone a little dazed.
Until鈥?,"That heartbeat was followed by a rhythmic breathing sound.
Now, even Liel and the others were stunned, their eyes staring straight at the location where the breathing sound came from.
That was the sound from the twenty coffins placed on the judgment platform!
In a dead silence, a hand stretched out from the coffin, grabbing the edge of the coffin.
The next second, Liliais, Locke, Roskold, who were used to seeing big storms鈥?,"Along with countless citizens below and the guests of the Hundred Races Alliance, their bodies swayed and fell to the ground.
The existence in the coffin jumped up, it was Jero, who had been confirmed to be dead and unable to die, even his head was stitched on.
He touched his intact neck with a confused look, and then looked around.
And from the surrounding coffins, more dead Silver Armor Pillar warriors also stood up.
Heartbeat, breathing鈥?,"The exuberant vitality of blood running through the body instantly appeared in the perception of Liliais and others.
That was an existence completely different from the undead.
That was life!
Life just like theirs!
When Jero and the others stepped out of the coffin, kneeling on one knee to Ian intact, and shouting "Dawn Eternal" with their hands on their chests like other knights.
Liliais's eyes went black and she fell backwards.
Liliais, who fell into Fishley's arms, looked up at Ian sitting at the top of the cloud.
After a long time, Liliais's tone was dry and her voice was hoarse as she murmured.
"Resurrected鈥"
"All resurrected鈥"
"Those who died鈥?really鈥?all resurrected!"
Fishley couldn't hear the words behind her.
She knelt on the ground with a dazed expression, holding Liliais, whose mage's heart was about to shatter from this scene.
But in her ears was the endless sound of prayer.
"Eternal Lord, Your power transcends everything, and Your promise never changes."
"Before You, despair turns into hope, and death turns into life."
"Because You live, all who trust in You will have eternal life and share eternal glory with You!"
"Dawn Eternal!"
Ian on the Cloud Top Throne smiled and quietly listened to the waves of prayers below.
Today, Ian gave the continent of Rodri another little MC shock鈥?,"From today onwards, the Hundred Races Alliance will understand what it means to believe in the Dawn and gain eternal life!
