?521 Oath Of The Sacred One

"Now you two shall see why my name is Blight…" Blight's eyes glowed with a dark light as he raised his blade, and the next moment, the entire area began to turn cold as an icy blizzard manifested out of thin air.

Umilia wasn't sure, but she felt as if he accidentally tapped into the true powers of the original champion and wondered if it was because he was pushed to a corner by them.

But this was bad since she didn't expect him to actually unleash such a powerful attack that was not only impeding her vision, but the concerning part was that this blizzard was making her feel weaker. She felt that his so-called 'signature' attack was something that slowed down the flow of odic force in her body, making her feel sluggish and heavy.

Even if this man only got these powers recently after receiving the legacy of Blight, the original Blight must have been a powerful champion who died a long time ago. Only those who made their mark in previous Bloodborn Tournaments would get to pass down their legacy, and this was proof that the original Blight must have been no pushover.

Aelita was taken by surprise, and since Blight knew he couldn't directly attack her, he used his blizzard to uproot the huge trees around Aelita, making them smash against her as she saw sent flying.

"Aelita!" Umilia heard the sound of Aelita getting knocked out, but she was unable to reach out to her since this blizzard was trying to kill her slowly.

"Kekeke, give it up, pretty angel. Stop struggling and come to Daddy, and all this suffering will be over," Blight laughed as he enjoyed seeing her struggle. He didn't expect to unleash such a powerful attack, though he felt like he might not be able to do it again unless he trained hard, which was not something he liked doing.

But seeing how powerful his signature move can be, motivated him, and he decided to work on his abilities.

Now all he had to do was wait till she succumbed to his blizzard.

Umilia was using her barrier of light to shield herself as the blizzard tried to eat away at her. She was clenching her jaw as her hands shook, trying to shield herself while her feet were leaving cracks in the earth. The entire place had turned into a dark blue icy hell in a 2 mile radius.

She knew she had yet to fully assimilate her powers, and the disharmony between her past and present lives was only making it hard for her to get in sync with her powers.

She had put in hard work every day to get used to her powers, but there was always something blocking her from achieving her true potential. She knew this was probably because she had confusion over her own identity. Was she Sae, or was she Umilia? Was she the cold person who tried to kill her husband whom she loved for revenge or the simple maid who was smitten with love for the same man? One was a powerful witch, while the other was just an ordinary mortal.

She kept this to herself since she didn't want anybody else to worry but revealed it to Viktor today when it was troubling her too much.

And now she remembered how he simply put it even though she didn't fully understand what he meant at that time. Sae defined her origins and her past, and even though she was Umilia presently and for the time to come, she should draw strength from her past if necessary.

"Tch, still not giving up? Even though you look pretty as a goddess, you are too weak. And weak women deserve to succumb to strong men like me, kekeke," Blight didn't expect her to still keep holding on and tried to make her feel despair. He could see how her light was growing weaker with each second while the surroundings were getting filled with his dark blue aura.

Umilia, who had her eyes closed in a grimace, suddenly relaxed her face as she opened her eyes which began to shine with a pure white light, "As the herald of the sacred light who purges all evil, no sinner shall escape my eyes. If any sinner dares to, then they shall face my judgment," Umilia intonated her oath, which she had taken when she received the Sacred Arts…something she only remembered now after tapping into the past.

Blight didn't know why but he felt a chill down his spine when he heard her words, even though her voice was calm yet firm.

And the next moment, the dark blue air was dispelled instantly as a pure, radiant light spread in every direction.

All Blight managed to see was her eyes shining as bright as the sun, and the next moment this light blinded him, making him clutch his eyes as he howled, "AAARGH!!! NOOO!! My eyes!!!"

He felt like his eyes were seared from the light, and the pitch-black darkness was eating away at his sanity. The pain was only secondary to him in this situation. He was also too distracted to see how his blizzard was dispelled, and the surrounding area returned to normal.

Even from a hundred miles away, one could see a brilliant white light glimmering in the space, and this white light was actually emanating from Umilia's entire being as the sacred light was draping her body.

Now, if anybody saw her, they would feel like prostrating before her, not because she looked like a goddess, but because the holy aura surrounding her body would make anyone fill their souls with reverence.

As for creatures that breed darkness and evil, they wouldn't dare come anywhere near her nor even look at her eyes which could blind them for eternity.

The same went for Blight, who was blindly crawling on the ground with saliva dripping out his mouth, trying to get away from her as he cried, "P-Please…Spare me!"
