Adrian's intuition to activate his mirror psyche armament came in handy because the undead demigod released an attack against them. The fierce shockwave was successfully absorbed by the mirror which shocked even Adrian because he did not really thought that it will work.
The mirror successfully absorbed the attack but it came at a price of Adrian's health. The attack of the Reaper is far superior that his health that was already in half became 10% immediately due to the rebound. The Undead King wanted to thank Adrian for blocking that attack as even he would not be able to stand properly if he tanked that whole attack.
The Reaper though did not became pleased as a mere bug was able to block his attacks. It was able to easily slice weak bugs like Adrian as if they were butter which is why it hurts its pride that a mere bug survived. The Reaper wanted to immediately squash the bug that dared to hurt its pride but the imperial army general had other plans.
The imperial army general activated another skill of the spear that she held. The spear became ignited in a pure red flame and General Alexandra threw the spear towards the Reaper. The Sleg pierced the half incorporeal body of the Reaper and ignited it into flames which made it release an ear piercing shriek.
Adrian did not waste time and entered the portal to escape because he could get killed by a soldier or a stray attack from one of the imperial mages. He did mark the location though as he needed to return when it is over. Adrian still needed to kill steal in order to get propriety on the drops when the Reaper is killed.
The imperial army tried to stop the Undead King from escaping but those that surrounded him is suddenly pushed by an invisible force. The portal closed and General Alexandra could only blame her incompetence but she at least would be able to kill the Reaper that the Undead King could not defeat.
The Reaper's ear piercing cry still filled the battlefield but the spear is continually burning it. Now that the Undead King managed to escape, the imperial general's army could only focus on the most powerful undead here which is the Reaper.
All the holy priests and paladins did not waste time and poured all holy attribute attacks on the Reaper. The Reaper who is still up in flames started to crumble bit by bit until its body became ashes. The imperial general's army relaxed a little upon their victory but their leader did not show even a bit of enthusiasm.
General Alexandra then looked at her soldiers and the priests that are fighting with her. The bleeding of their wounds has yet to stop and the blood still has yet to trickle down but the blood still becomes a red mist. Sensing that danger is near General Alexandra ordered her soldiers and the priests to move away from the area while recalling her spear to her hand.
The worries of the imperial army general suddenly came to pass as the area that the Reaper was killed is filled with red mist but not just the red mist that came from them. The living that are fighting off the undead that are also bleeding contribute to the red mist.
General Alexandra felt this was odd but then she remembered that the red clouds above them did not dissipate despite the priest elders activating the Holy Sanctuary Domain. She could only infer that the red clouds and the red mist are not made of miasma but even she thought that is absurd.
The holy churches taught that every spell or attacks that undead make is filled with miasma. With that thought in mind, General Alexandra is sure that the red clouds above her are also miasma from the undead polluting the atmosphere with their filth but that is not the case.
Not only was the Reaper a demigod but it was also a Cambion which is a hybrid between a human and a devil. Fun fact about the devils is that they are considered spiritual beings that do not have or not completely having a physical body. The only part that the Arch Lich managed to turn undead is the human part of the Reaper.
The Reaper is now purified of its undead state due to the combined attacks of the imperial army. Unbeknownst to the imperial army that they only made it worse because the Reaper had a special trump card when it was alive and terrorizing the mortal plane.
The red clouds suddenly gathered in one place and it formed three tornadoes as the scythe of the Reaper rose to meet the red clouds. The blade of the scythe suddenly became a mouth with sharp fangs and ate up the red clouds along with the red mists. The energy is so intense that it alerted the hidden powers of the main world.
The sheer energy that the scythe is absorbing is enough to power up a spell that could deal catastrophic damage. Seeing this intense energy coalescing, General Alexandra chose to use her trump card as she feared whatever is coming their way.
"Lugh's Incarnate!" General Alexandra shouted as piercing golden rays of light came down from the heavens to bathe her.
The general's armor suddenly became a bit bulkier and sturdier than before like they became made of diamonds. She also sprouted two pairs of wings made of light as if she suddenly became an angel. The normal looking jousting spear also changed as it became different in structure.
The handle of the spear shifted to the middle as there is now two pointed ends opposite of each other. It would now be appropriate to call it a lance rather than a spear. The lance also now had blue runes engraved on it and two holy rings near the pointed ends. Those of the Goddess of Light religion could only bask in her glory as if the Champion of the Goddess of Light has come to punish the wicked.
The scythe finally absorbed all the red clouds and it started pulsating like a heart of a living person. The scythe pulsated until it covered itself using a red sphere made of blood. The Reaper is about to be reborn once more into the world and this time its sanity is with it.
