While the blast of Holy energy didn't rob her of her Life Points, it drained away something else, her DP which left her feeling a bit weak and disoriented due to how quickly it was drained away, which was also part of the attack.

[Don't come to the [Holy Territory] right now? Castiel and Mr. Ziek might mistaken you for an enemy. Hide for now and I'll come get you later.] Synthis said

[Who?] Alice asked

[The two Angels I told you were coming to the city.] Synthia replied

[Alright, I'll hide for now. But please come and get me before the sun rises.] Alice said and slowly flew towards a partially destroyed building before turning into mist.

*******************************************

Back to Synthia.....

After the golden light cleared, everyone looked around in confusion as unlike they expected, none of the buildings were destroyed nor were all the undeads eliminated, but they did notice something strange. All the undeads stood as still as statues, not moving an inch, just staring forward with dead eyes, or more precisely, even deader eyes.

"Charge!!!" Synthia suddenly shouted to her confused followers and flew forward towards the unmoving undeads. Of course, she knew what the technique, Holy Light, that Castiel used was. It was a simple and easy technique that can be used by any Angel, provided that they have a high amount of Holy energy. The technique is used to incapacitate large amounts of demons rather than outright killing them, the principle is rather simple, by releasing a large amount of holy energy with enough force an Angel can cause all the demonic energy within a demon and in a certain area to simply disappear....for a short period of time. This technique is based on the facts that demonic and holy energies opposed each other and the demonic energy within a demons body would defend against Holy energy if the demon came in contact with it. There were downsides to using this technique as well, like the technique doesn't work well on demons on the same tier as the Angel using it and that it drained almost all of the Angel's holy energy to use, rendering them unconcious due to the rapid expulsion of that much holy energy.

A moment of Synthia's war cry, the four saints, Tim, Kirt, Roxy and Claire, charged towards the undeads and the other saints and priests charged soon after. As her followers cut down the incapacitated undeads, Synthia flew over to Castiel and hoisted his unconscious body over her shoulder.

"You did well, brat." Synthia whispered before flying towards the [Holy Territory]. Master Foustus who was also affected by the blast of Holy energy looked at all of this happening with a furious expression. His [Will of the Dead] skill has been rendered useless due to all the demonic energy left by the dead imps being evaporated by the blast of holy energy, which means his powers have been decreased by atleast 25%. And now his army, that he has painstakingly created, was being returned to the ground, he wouldn't stand for it. Just as he was charging an attack to kill all the pesky beings of light, a strong metallic kick sent him flying towards a pile of debris.

"Forgetting about someone." Mr. Ziek said as liquid metal flowed around him like water before transforming into sharp blades and raining onto the Corpse Lord. Master Foustus gritted his teeth and created a shield of demonic energy and decay. The metallic blades crashed into the shield and most of them were stopped and slowly turned to dust, but a few of them broke through and dug into Master Foustus' flesh, causing him to scream in pain.

'This bastard, he deliberately made most of the blades weak and placed more energy into the others to pierce my armour. Cunning bastard.' Master Foustus thought and got up off the ground but almost fell down once again. Confused, he looked at the swords sticking out of his body and he could sense the Holy energy and liquid meta ravaging his insides.

"Using my own tricks against me, don't you have your own?" Master Foustus shouted angrily and tried to rip the blades out of his body, but his shock and horror, the metal liquified and slithered into his body through wounds.

"Yes....I do." Mr. Ziek said and snapped his fingers, and suddenly, metal spikes pierced through Master Foustus' body from the inside.

'I've been fighting this guy all day and he still has enough energy to do this. I-I need to escape...now!!!' He thought as black blood splashed onto the wounds and blood dripped from his mouth. He quickly spread his wings and sent a powerful ball of decay towards Mr. Ziek before flying towards the forest as fast as he could.

Mr. Ziek was easily able to block the attack but he didn't bother pursuing the cowardly undead, the reason, he was exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

"Sigh, I haven't fought that hard in a while. I need some rest." He said and flew towards the [Holy Territory].
