The pus and blood samples flowing out of the tumor were brought to everyone by the witch doctor, and Benedictus also applied a layer of holy shield to everyone just in case.
Niebuhr and Archbishop Holy Light simultaneously made gestures to let the other party invite them first. In the end, Niebuhr took the lead in using the Shadow Curse to react with the pus and blood samples.
In an instant, the pus and blood in the sample seemed to be boiling, as if Niebuhr's curse was about to burst out of the beaker containing it.
Niebuhr was so frightened that he quickly cut off the connection with the curse and took a few steps back. At this time, Benedictus's holy light spell arrived in time, and the pus and blood in the beaker was immediately purified as if it had evaporated.
"It is indeed a shadow, but the purity of the pus and blood is so high?! Second only to the samples collected from the corpse of the faceless warlord!"
Benedictus looked in disbelief, while Niebuhr on the other side was also in shock.
"Although the trolls have shadow hunters who can use the power of shadow, they also have an iron law passed down from generation to generation. We must remain vigilant about the power we control. If you dare to abuse shadow, the only solution is to fall into darkness.
This level of shadow is beyond the control of shadow hunters and they dare not get involved..."
One wave after another, the Fire Lord's soul has a tendency to make the elements go out of control, and the insects carrying shadow energy have revealed their fangs again.
Knowing that the torture of the sick and wounded came from the shadows, there was some progress, but Benedictus had new questions.
"This time there were a large number of priests in the coalition team. After the battle with the bugs, the priests treated the wounds of each wounded person. Even if there were shadows, they had been purified long ago. How could they be there in the distance?
It deteriorated to this point after a while?!"
No one can answer Benedictus's question. It is impossible that the Holy Light cannot purify the shadows. This answer is absolutely unacceptable to the Archbishop of the Holy Light.
In addition, Benedictus has a second question:
Is the corruption and spread of the shadow too exaggerated? Just the purity of the pus and blood flowing out of the affected area has reached a level close to that of the Faceless Men.
It is impossible for those densely packed insects to control the power of shadow at a higher level than the Faceless Men? This is obviously impossible.
Regarding this issue, everyone thought and discussed it for a long time, but still had no clue.
The only conclusion that can be drawn in the end is that people know too little about Shadow.
Perhaps as a source of power, the operating logic of shadow is completely different from that of holy light and arcana, and the strength of shadow cannot be judged by traditional mechanical analysis.
'It seems that our understanding of the shadows is much less than I thought. If you want to truly defeat the shadows, you must first deepen your research on the shadows...'
Such an idea flashed through Benedictus's mind, and then he came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at everyone through his mask.
"I'm sorry that my thinking has delayed everyone for so long. As for the theoretical discussion, I think we can temporarily suspend it. The top priority is to save the lives of these people in the ward."
The most effective way to deal with the shadows is the purification of the Holy Light. This can be said to be an unbreakable truth. With Benedictus, the archbishop, and many outstanding priests in the coalition forces around, everyone suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Due to the small space in the ward, Benedictus selected ten of the best priests and entered the ward for treatment.
When the soft holy light appeared in the ward, everyone felt a sense of relief, as if the previous haze had been swept away, and the negative energy generated by the pain was also reduced a lot.
Out of caution, Benedictus did not perform group treatment as soon as he came up, but started with the first wounded soldier.
Speaking of this wounded soldier No. 1, he was the first wounded soldier to be attacked by insects after the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Continent were teleported to Tanaris. After arriving at the Hanhai Protectorate, the outbreak of the disease started with him.
Benedictus concentrated the holy light on the tumor on his leg. With the irradiation of the holy light, the tumor emitted white smoke as if it was burning, and then shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces showed joy, and the witch doctors looked at Benedictus with admiration.
Since the outbreak of the disease, witch doctors have been unable to do anything to treat the tumor, whether through herbal medicine, magic or surgery, and they even have to bear the risk of infection.
How simple and elegant is the process of purifying tumors without leaving a trace of dirt behind?
"ah……"
The soldier being treated let out a pleasant groan, and Benedictus seemed to be encouraged, adjusting the intensity of the holy light.
By this time, the tumor had shrunk to one-third of its original size. Just when everyone thought the treatment was going to be successful, a mutation occurred.
"ah!!!"
The soldier's moans of relief suddenly turned into howls of pain. He, who was so weak due to the tumor, was like a fish that had just landed, rolling violently on the hospital bed.
Seeing the changes in the soldiers, Benedictus subconsciously stopped releasing the Holy Light, but by this time it was already too late.
The soldier suddenly stood upright on the bed as if he was exhausted. Except for the affected areas on his legs, the other intact skin on his body also showed a certain degree of ulceration, with blood beads oozing out from his pores!
This scene frightened Benedictus, and all the witch doctors suddenly surrounded him.
After testing his breath, he found that the soldier was still alive, but his breath was extremely weak. The witch doctors could only use the gentlest spells to inject vitality into his body, barely maintaining his life.
Benedictus, who was accidentally squeezed out by the witch doctors, was now stunned. He looked at his hands blankly, what happened just now?
Isn't it true that the holy light purifies the shadows? He upholds the gentlest kindness and the firmest belief to purify the shadows for the soldiers, but why does he bring so much pain to the soldiers?!
"how so?!"
Benedictus couldn't control his emotions.
"Please calm down, this soldier is still alive."
Li De rushed to Benedictus, held his arms with both hands, and softly comforted him to stabilize his mood.
"Protector Li De...could it be wrong to say that the Holy Light purifies the shadows?"
Archbishop Shengguang looked at Li De with dull eyes. Li De shook his head firmly and gave him an affirmative answer.
"There is nothing wrong with the holy light purifying the shadows."
"How could that happen?"
Li De pursed his lips, already having some guesses in his mind.
"Protector, Archbishop, I think we should go outside and talk."
After Kel'Thuzad checked the soldier's condition, he sighed and said to the two of them.
"How is it going?"
Lid leaned forward and asked in a low voice. Kel'Thuzad shook his head.
"Although his life has been saved, his second half will probably be paralyzed in bed."
Hearing Kel'Thuzad's words, Benedictus almost fainted, but the two priests behind him supported him before he could stand still.
After walking out of the ward, everyone looked at Kel'Thuzad expectantly, hoping he would give an answer.
Before Kel'Thuzad could speak, Li De expressed his guess.
"Like Tirion, right?"
"That's right."
Kel'Thuzad nodded.
"Just like arcane magic and evil energy, holy light and shadow are two sides of the same coin. The collision of arcane magic and evil energy can burst out huge energy transmitted across continents, so we cannot expect that when light and darkness collide,
How honest he would be.
In the process of purifying the shadows, the soft holy light now seems to also release a huge amount of energy. Such energy is definitely not something that an ordinary soldier can bear.
The shadow lurked deeply into his body, and the purification of the holy light caused a chain reaction, causing huge damage in his body.
Regarding this, Tirion is an example. The difference is that as a paladin of the early Yuan Dynasty, his body was tough enough, so in the battle with the Faceless Men, he was at the center of the conflict between light and darkness and saved his life. But even he
He also paid a huge price, losing the Holy Light.
Tirion is like this, let alone ordinary soldiers."
After Kel'Thuzad finished speaking, Li De also added something on the side.
"An earlier example is Ronin. During the operation of Grim Batol, he once fell into the control of the black dragon. It was Tirion who used the holy light to disperse the shadow that bewitched him.
If Luo Ning's true personality hadn't been sleeping at that time, and what the black dragon had bewitched was just the personality copied by Prince Krasus using magic circuits, the purification process alone would have been enough to turn Luo Ning into a fool."
"So what should we do now? We need solutions more than principles."
Finally, Lothar said with finality.
Li De and Kel'Thuzad looked at Benedictus in unison. The archbishop was dejected and didn't want to speak. In the end, Li De suggested it.
"It is true that the Holy Light will cause physical harm to the sick and wounded when eradicating the shadows, but it can indeed effectively inhibit the growth of tumors. Therefore, until a radical cure is found, the Holy Light may be used for conservative treatment."
His affirmation of the Holy Light inspired Benedictus, but the archbishop still could not forget the scene of the soldiers screaming heartbreakingly.
Especially what Kel'Thuzad said next.
"Conservative treatment of this group of wounded and sick patients is not a problem. The key problem is that bugs are a huge safety hazard to us. We don't know when bugs will take the initiative to attack like the elements.
In the long run, they are more troublesome than the elements, and we will definitely have more casualties by then, so what should we do at that time?"
