Defying the Fate of Beheading
Chapter 785 - 405: Ten Million Troops, Blossoming Here
Grace pondered for a moment before nodding.
Louis’s approach was fine.
The blessing of breaking demons is a group empowerment type of gift, capable of playing a decisive role in legion battles.
Moreover, Louis’s Curse Binding Legion actually didn’t possess as strong a power as imagined originally; it was only after receiving the empowerment from the Deadly Sin of Wrath and Book of the Dead that its combat abilities soared instantly.
It can be said that, if one ignores the fact that the Curse Binding Legion is a march of the dead, Louis’s two powers as blessings indeed made him instantly ascend to become a born leader.
The false leader: soldiers strictly follow orders, holding high authority and formidable combat qualities.
The true leader: even knowing nothing, can forcibly elevate the legion’s prowess to an insurmountable height through the blessings.
In fact, Louis raised this topic proactively.
In the IF line, Grace was able to help Louis counter the Demon King Army largely because of this blessing.
Bringing it up this time was also consciously done after he received the power mastered by Grace.
Only by preemptively coordinating the Curse Binding Legion with Grace can they deliver a fatal strike to the opponent in an instant.
Monsters and evil beings are different.
A demonized creature isn’t necessarily considered part of the evil faction.
But evil beings are definitely creatures of the evil faction.
Previously, Louis deduced the creatures on Dragonbone Prairie that dared not attack Grace were evil faction creatures, not mere monsters, thereby pinpointing the hidden undead controlled by the mastermind.
But that was the initial Grace.
Now she is different.
While fulfilling her saintly mission, Grace has constantly garnered more powers.
She even received blessings from the God of Glory and Justice targeting not only monsters but also other forces.
This means once the Curse Binding Legion receives this blessing, it can rapidly counter the Demon King Army in battle.
Louis couldn’t help but feel curious.
What undisclosed secrets does the God of Glory and Justice have, seeming as though He had foreseen the era of upheaval long ago and was prepared.
Grace’s blessing is such.
It’s even more the case as the Cosmic Serpent hides within his Ocean of Souls, delivering a covert blow.
But it doesn’t matter; since this god is willing to help him, then He is a good god.
Louis adheres to the simple belief of venerating gods.
Thus, the night passed.
Louis was consistently testing the strength of the Curse Binding Legion under the new blessing with Grace.
They even specifically captured some powerful monsters and threw them into the Soldier Realm for the legion members to train against them.
Had they not tested, it wouldn’t have mattered; testing astonished him to no end.
"It’s a bit too strong."
He exclaimed in amazement.
He had seen the demon-breaking blessing in the Diary of Greed before.
But what’s written can never match the shock seen in reality.
With both being LV15, in a normal confrontation, Curse Binding Legion soldiers rely on their audacity to secure a hundred percent victory against monsters.
Though using critical strike tactics, a soldier would typically need several minutes to dispose of a monster.
But now it’s different.
Getting the demon-breaking blessing, in facing regular monsters, that same soldier now only needed 5 moves to promptly cleave the opponent in half.
And that’s not all; Louis even tried capturing one that was both LV15 as a monster and an evil being.
Unexpectedly, his soldier divided the opponent in two with just one slash.
One slash!
A single slash!
The suppression displayed is akin to overpowering by over 2 class levels.
How could he not be shocked?
"Grace, pleasant cooperation."
After a night of testing, Louis shifted from originally wanting to remain distant from Grace to solid partners of justice.
No way, the demon-breaking blessing is truly enticing.
Additionally, the reason is crucial.
Louis intends to bring down Helmer.
In the IF line, he started the "Burning World" route largely due to Helmer killing Beatrice and Olivia.
Louis has no mental purity issues.
Nothing is more significant to Louis than Beatrice and Olivia.
Any enemy possibly threatening them, Louis must eliminate.
If it merely threatens him, he might consider carefully.
But a threat to the two women must be uprooted.
So he couldn’t reject the demon-breaking blessing.
With such prowess bestowed onto ordinary soldiers, what about himself?
He now anticipates Helmer’s surprise when, amid battle, the demon-breaking blessing activates and each strike penetrates armor critically.
...
The peaceful days didn’t last long.
Within less than half a month, forces from all sides integrated and began heading towards the junction of Lokeshi and Secluded Forest Sea.
The upcoming operation is divided into four battlefields.
These are connected closely with Secluded Forest Sea.
Louis was the first to arrive.
He aimed to support Birch Forest Fortress.
It was the first area engaged with the Demon King Army.
Even before they arrived, conflict had already erupted here with the Demon King’s Army.
