Cervic noticed immediately. His halberd that had just been drawing reasonable reaction from the demon lord now had began to lose its effectiveness.
Cervic however, didn't need to think it too deeply, as he expected this, after all, the demon lord was connected to the abyss, the source of the power he wielded. He stepped back, his grip tightening on his weapon.
The halberd trembled in his hands, as if reacting to his will, then, without warning, the abyssal energy vanished and the halberd's surface began to crack, in fact, it looked like the weapon itself was cracking.
The battlefield itself seemed to exhale, the suffocating darkness disappearing in an instant. The halberd, once pulsing with abyssal power, now radiated a blinding, golden-white glow of light that burst forth.
Seeing it, the Demon Lord's expression changed, and the one thing that came to the demon lord's mind was, 'Divine energy.'
