After successfully refining the 12 Movements of Dawn, Theseus immediately found the city where the mighty Great Archmage lived and fought him in a final battle. At that time, almost everyone in the city did not think highly of Theseus, because that Great Archmage had comprehended another terrifying wood magic not long ago. After his strength increased, he was no longer the same as before. Everyone in the city thought that Theseus would definitely lose this battle and his reputation would be destroyed.

However, when Theseus released the 12 Movements of Dawn, he slowly slashed out with his sword. The light in the sky seemed to brighten a little. Momentarily, everyone was dazed. As the 12 Movements of Dawn continued to slash out, each slash became brighter. When the twelfth sword finally cut through the void, the world was enveloped in light. Everyone could not see anything else except the white light. When the final light dissipated, everyone saw that the pupils in the eyes of the Great Archmage, who was originally full of confidence, had long disappeared. All that was left were white discharges with blood streaks. He had completely lost consciousness.

In the end, Theseus walked up to the Great Archmage and easily decapitated him with a single slash of his sword. Since then, the name of the Twelve Music of Dawn had spread throughout the entire Azure Continent, becoming the most terrifying holy artifact in the hearts of all the Archmages. As for the Legendary King, Theseus, he had been immortalized in history because he had personally forged the Twelve Music of Dawn. However, the legion commander of the allied forces of the Temple of Light clearly did not recognize the twelve swords in the sky that were officially the legendary Twelve Music of Dawn. At this moment, he was furiously commanding the mage beside him to cast a spell to remove the negative effect.

“Hurry up and release the magic to remove the negative effect on my body. Then cast a wood magic to strengthen my spirit!” the allied commander shouted to the mage beside him.

“I’m preparing.” The mage immediately released a wood magic on the commander to help him remove the negative effect.

The commander felt the wood magic circulating in his body and his weakened body becoming a little more comfortable. But when he opened his eyes again, he was still blinded by the endless light. It was as if the mage had not used magic to remove the negative effect just now.

“Didn’t I tell you to strengthen my mind after releasing magic to remove the negative effect on me? Why am I still trapped by it?!” Clearly very displeased, the commander said angrily.

After waiting for a while, the commander realized that the mage did not respond. Infuriated, he turned around to reprimand the mage. However, when he took a closer look, he realized that the mage was looking up at the sky. He did not know what he was looking at. When the commander saw this, he could not help but be curious. Then he followed the mage’s gaze.

The allied commander was stunned on the spot as he looked in disbelief at Mo Fan. Mo Fan’s eyes were closed, and there was an inverted triangle on his forehead that was like a silver gem that emitted big and small brilliant rays. Meanwhile, the mysterious and obscure incantations and golden magical patterns around him intersected and revolved, causing faint ripples in the void.

Every ripple in the air was accompanied by an increasingly high-pitched song. As the pitch rose, the light emitted by Mo Fan’s body also became stronger. The five-star hexagram formation that was floating in the air slowly rotated around Mo Fan along with the hymn. Five golden threads gradually twisted and extended to Mo Fan’s body.

Then the 12 Movements of Dawn swords behind Mo Fan crossed into a ring shape and spun at high speed. They floated above his head, guiding the huge magical energy of the hexagram array to attack Heaven’s Gate in the sky. Mo Fan suddenly opened his eyes. For a moment, divine light appeared. Countless rays of light surged out of Heaven’s Gate above Mo Fan. A wave of light that distorted space swept in all directions. At this moment, it was as if the entire world was enveloped in this dazzling light. The sun in the sky had long disappeared, and Mo Fan had become the only sun in the world.

Everyone’s vision was distorted by the light that enveloped the entire world. In their eyes, there was only an endless white space and the faint shadows of everyone. The intense pressure of the endless light made it difficult for everyone to breathe. If not for the fact that they still had the feeling of stepping on solid ground, everyone would have thought that they had fallen into an endless abyss of light. In this endless world of light, only Mo Fan hung high in the sky, releasing endless light that could not be looked at directly. It was as if a true god had descended to judge the mortal world.

At this moment, the allied commander suddenly felt as if his limbs were melting, and he lost his perception. His consciousness gradually dimmed, as if he was about to be completely devoured by the endless light in front of him. He could barely raise his head to look at Mo Fan’s figure in the sky. Dazed, he felt as if he had seen a legendary great and powerful god. Looking at the phantom of the god, amidst the dreadful wails around him. his heart gradually calmed down, and his mind became clearer.

As time slowly passed, the commander finally walked completely into the light and entered an eternal sleep. The five Great Archmages at the core of the Temple of Light camp were also in a daze. Their hands could not stop trembling, and their backs were drenched in cold sweat. Clearly, the five Great Archmages were also extremely shocked.

At this moment, they felt as if they had entered the purgatory of the human world. The terrified cries of the soldiers of the allied forces of the Temple of Light kept ringing in their ears. These cries were extremely jarring, and ordinary people would probably faint when they heard them. In this endless light, there were countless corpses of weak soldiers. Their faces were distorted and scary when they died, as if their facial muscles had been pinched like dough. One could imagine how terrified and desperate these arrogant soldiers were when the endless light swept over them.

As for the slightly stronger high-level knights, they were still holding their weapons tightly and relying on their battle aura to resist. However, looking at their trembling bodies and hands which had turned purple, it was obvious that they would not be able to last for long. At this moment, what supported them was probably their desire to live. But no matter what, everyone in the allied army who had survived was probably regretting that they underestimated their enemy.

They had paid no attention to the Skadi Kingdom’s counterattack. They had declared that the Skadi Kingdom could escape for a moment but couldn’t run away forever, and threatened to completely destroy the heretics. However, they did not expect that they themselves would be the ones facing a life-and-death crisis now. At this moment, everyone only hoped that they would be as lucky as the Skadi Kingdom had been before. They hoped that this terrifying magical release would fail.
