Hearing her firm words, Link was slightly surprised. Actively requesting to fight? This really is an angel of light. Her disgust for darkness is innate!
“Go ahead!” Link nodded. Just nice. I wanted to see the battle power of my first summoned creature too.

…
Hearing Link’s approval, Yuna’s beautiful face showed a slight smile.
She stood up, turned her head, and looked toward a Skeleton Swordsman, not far away, that was slashing at a bunch of students.
Her snow-white wings flapped, and her figure disappeared like a phantom.
Floating in mid-air and waving the cross scepter, golden light quickly gathered towards her from the surroundings.
Yuna was like a small-sized sun.
“Holy Light Purification!” Yuna raised her scepter. The light surrounding her became even brighter, chasing away the surrounding darkness.
It then descended upon the surrounding dark creatures like water.
Instantly, all the people enveloped by the holy light felt a sense of warmth from inside their hearts.
Panic, fear, depression, and all other negative feelings were appeased. The wounds on their bodies also miraculously recovered.
They felt so comfortable that they just wanted to lie down and sleep.
However, this holy light was the most violent poison in the world for those dark creatures!
ROAR—
Black smoke came out from their body as their bodies crazily struggled in the holy light. Their [Soul Fire]s trembled shakily, sometimes rushing out of their eyes, sometimes as dim as candlelights in the wind. It was as if they were being tortured in the evilest manner possible deep in their souls!

…
In the next instance, notifications from killing dark creatures continuously sounded in Link’s ears.
Yuna’s [Holy Light Purification] directly purified ten-plus dark creatures in the surrounding area.
Link smiled in satisfaction at this scene, praising, “This is even an AOE skill. Not bad!”
At the side, the students and teachers saved were all dumbfounded by this scene. They couldn’t believe that those dark creatures—which could easily kill them—were actually killed by the angel in just one move.
What was most important was that this angel was under the command of another human!
“Schoolmate, thank you for saving me. If it weren’t because of you, I would’ve…” A female student with messy clothes and a charming face came toward Link. Her face was full of tears, looking quite pitiful. She opened her arms, seemingly wanting to throw herself into Link’s arms.
Maybe, inside her heart, she thought that no man would be able to resist the hug of a woman like her.

Unexpectedly, Link moved his feet, directly evading her.
Hugging the air, the female student was slightly dazed.

“You are very smart. You’ve realized that you can only survive better by taking refuge under someone powerful in this apocalyptic world!” At the side, Link’s emotionless voice sounded. “However, another rule in such a world is that no powerful people will be willing to protect a flower vase. No matter how pretty a vase is, it still needs to be of value if it wants to be protected!”
9
“Very coincidentally, women who have a habit of using their body as bargaining chips are the most worthless in such a world!”
7
Maybe it was because he had continuously obtained things that satisfied him, but Link’s current mood was quite good. He spoke more than he normally would, not stingy in giving these pitiful worms who hadn’t realized the harshness of this apocalyptic world a lesson.

The dazed female student was still standing at the spot as if she couldn’t understand the meaning of Link’s words in a short period of time.

Link looked around, paying attention to the spots where the dark creatures were purified.
A grey light appeared in his sight.
Instantly, his mouth curled upward. He walked over, squatted down, and picked up the item enveloped in the grey light.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Skeleton Longsword (Iron)!]
In [Doomsday Online], wild monsters had very low drop rates.
1
Finding a dropped Iron-grade weapon after killing just ten-plus of the lowest level dark creatures showed that Link’s luck was already quite good. It didn’t matter that the weapon’s grade was low. After all, Link had the [Supreme Blessing] talent!
1
There wasn’t a need to worry!
“Blessing…” Silently reciting the words in his mouth, a large mass of radiance instantly gathered.
The other people nearby didn’t understand what he was doing.
A middle-aged man with a large belly tidied his messy hair and walked over smilingly. He said, “Schoolmate, you are a student of our Dragon City No. 1 Middle School, right? The school is really proud to have a student like you!”
6
Link ignored him. The sword in his hand was already fully covered by the radiance.
The middle-aged man seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he didn’t have a fit. Instead, he continued to speak in a nice manner, “Schoolmate, you see… You have such a strong angel to help you now. Those creatures are all afraid of you! However… there are still many students and teachers trapped in dangerous situations right now. Can you send your angel to help us rescue them?”

Hearing this, Link finally turned around and glanced at him.
Their eyes met.
Link’s mouth instantly curled into a cold smile. He had seen too many people in his previous life. In the apocalyptic world, humanity’s true nature was expressed to the fullest. What kind of matter did he not encounter before? With just one look, he could deduce that this man’s real aims weren’t as righteous as he sounded.
Boom!
A red light descended from the sky, landing on the sword in Link’s hand.
A huge air current suddenly raged like a gust of wind.
Link’s clothes fluttered, and the people around were all pushed back.
[Ding! Blessing succeeded!]

…
“Good sword!” Link praised, making a vibrating motion with his wrist.

An ancient-looking longsword appeared in the air. It was five-foot-long, and the edge looked sharp and cold. On the sword’s body—which was as thick as a palm—thousands of red runes were meticulously engraved on it.
4
A dim, red light flowed through the runes like they were the sword’s meridians and blood.
Casually waving the sword, the red light extended out from the tip of the sword. It looked extremely sharp as if it could cut apart anything!
Seeing such a god-like weapon appear in Link’s hand, the people nearby instantly swallowed mouthfuls of saliva.
Quite a number of people even showed greed in their eyes.
If this sword were theirs… How great would that be?
Link turned around, looking at the middle-aged man who was standing very close to him. He insipidly asked, “Sorry, what did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly…”
The middle-aged man could sense the coldness in Link’s words. Cold sweat instantly poured out from his body. However, the vanity cultivated by the dominance and use of authority in his daily life made it impossible for him to back down from a student when being watched by so many people. He forced himself to say, “Schoolmate, the greater one’s ability, the greater their responsibility. You…”
Swoosh!
A heavy ancient sword was pressed onto his shoulder; its scorching edge was only a slight distance away from his carotid artery.
