Thousands of undead creatures appeared at once, meaning that these numbers increased at this point. In response to this, Cedric raised Solaris Edge and shot pure sunfire and sunlight to the gloomy skies above.
This energy compressed and turned into a large golden orb that shone brilliantly amidst the depressing battlefield. It was a miniature sun, the true version of the one that Cedric formed during his time at the frontlines. After honing his skills incessantly, he had cut the time he needed to create this thing and it became deadlier.
The harsh glare of the miniature sun burned the corruption of the undead creatures, weakening them severely. Some even died as soon as the light touched them.
Cedric stood underneath this sun, holding his sword by the handle with two hands while its tip embedded into the ground. No, this move did not immobilize him, Cedric just didn't feel like moving too much for now since it was still very early into the task.
He had to slay undead creatures for eight hours straight. He might be a Superhuman, but moving constantly throughout the entirety of his task would certainly tire him out. This was one of the ways he could save his energy since all he had to do was to maintain this miniature sun, and he'd be untouchable for the next two hours or so.
Said two hours passed by quickly, and it was at this point that the first boss would appear. Before it showed up, Cedric snorted and mobilized his Astral Energy.
Huge chunks of land were ripped out of the ground. They instantly melted into lava and magma that rose to the sky and fused with the miniature sun that Cedric was maintaining.
The sun looked and felt more real because of this, the mystical power emanated from it came from Cedric's comprehension of Astral Laws.
The temperature rose severely, and any undead creatures that still remained were unable to endure the heat and the light, they died as soon as it was finished. This was around time when a massive undead appeared out of nowhere accompanied by a dark, swirling mass of corruption.
Cedric sneered. He raised his sword and pointed it at the giant undead.
"Solar Flare!"
Pshewww!!!!
The sun behind Cedric shot a pillar of concentrated sunfire and sunlight toward the boss, melting it into nothingness before it could even do anything.
Cedric received an alert that the first boss was slain. He dismissed this alert and stabbed his sword on the ground once more. He then closed his eyes and released more of Astral Energy. read-more-on-MVLeMpYr
Above him, the miniature sun experienced some changes. On its surface, a profound and mystical intersection of lines appeared. Each stroke contained a charm that causes one to be drawn towards it...granted that they're not demons because if they were, their eyes would immediately be burned into ashes upon gazing at it.
A large symbol appeared on the surface of the sun. It was none other than Cedric's Sagely Totem - the 『Aspect of the Sun』.
The already dangerously scalding sunburned even hotter when combined with the aspect. The same sigil also appeared beneath Cedric's foot, stretching up to a kilometer with him in the middle.
Cedric's disguised long red hair billowed with intensity. He felt the appearance of more and stronger undead around him but he didn't care. With a sneer of contempt, he uttered:
"Cruel Sun!"
At his declaration, the Sun above him began spewing arching shots of pure sunfire everywhere. Some caused a volcanic reaction upon making contact with the ground, some left large puddles of burning sunfire, some flew at the speed of light...etc.
'Cruel Sun' is an all-out bombardment skill he developed after perfecting the Aspect of the Sun. A volley of indiscriminate burning massacre. It didn't matter what manner of undead creature appeared, none were able to do much in the face of Cedric's sun.
So long as the sun remains above him, it will release a volley of burning destruction every 2 and a half minutes. Sufficed to say, every corner of the Purgatory was bathed in sunfire by now.
It was such a sight to see - Purgatory, a dark and repulsive place where Humans were sent to face their punishment, became a rather active warzone because of Cedric's skills.
Despite the indiscriminate bombardment, if one looked closely, the Purgatory doesn't look bad at all. As Cedric's sun hovered above, it illuminated the surroundings clearly, driving away the dark and depressing atmosphere of the Purgatory.
And this was just the beginning. Cedric has lofty goals but that's for the future. Right now, he should focus on maintaining this sun through the remaining hours of this task.
