"Then it's my turn..."
"Bar?"
Chapter 35: The new ancestor.
[You killed a powerful enemy, the Dedicated Knight Seron. You gained 134 experience points. The Blood Sword restored 11% of your magic power and vitality...]
[You have unlocked the powerful enemy challenge, the Dedicated Knight, Theron. ]
[You released the Desire Blade·Extraction, you extracted the blood of the Dedicated Knight·Theron, and you obtained the Desire Blade·Guardian Sword form. ]
[You have completed the achievement [This is the only praise to the Lord] (resist any chanting ritual composed of more than 5 people from any monastery, priests, church, etc.), and you have obtained the title: "Singing with You", title effect: All arcane resistance +10, additional holy resistance +10, and when wearing it, the damage from the holy system is reduced by an additional %. ]
Victor had no idea how much time had passed.
He only felt his whole body being burned, just like in the legend, he was thrown into an endless purgatory to burn his sins.
Burning pain and the tearing of the soul.
But fortunately, he held on.
The third-level sacred barrier brought by the scepter could not actually completely block the attack. Even until the end, the barrier was intact and did not seem to have suffered any damage at all, which was indeed the case.
The baptismal chant is an attack on the concept of "spirit" without interfering with any physical characteristics.
This kind of attack, "barrier", is obviously a defense to resist physical and magical impacts, and cannot effectively resist it. However, as a third-level protective skill, the Holy Barrier is naturally not as simple as erecting a shield around oneself.
It will also provide protection enhancement, resistance enhancement, and even treatment and other similar bonuses to the protected objects within the range.
For example, the resistance to all attributes, at that moment, under Victor's full effort, even reached an extremely terrifying 66 points.
This level of resistance even allowed Victor to surpass the upper-level Dead Apostles in terms of resisting the Baptism Chant, and even reached the level of a legendary Phantasma.
What surprised Victor the most was the bloody sword from the enemy——
[Desire Blade·Guardian Sword Form]:
epic.
The sword of "protection" forged by Victor using the blood of his enemies and his unyielding will.
Feature 1, Guardian. When using this form, you gain the Guardian status (first level defense increase, first level resistance increase).
Characteristic 2, Guarding Stance, consumes a certain amount of magic power, and chants the sacred seal of defense to improve the defense of the player in the parrying state as much as possible. (Second level parry, second level defense improvement, second level resistance improvement, counterattack).
Counterattack: After a successful parry, a certain amount of blood will be consumed to return the power of the attack in full.
Characteristic 3 (a constant characteristic of the Desire Blade, inherent in all forms of weapons), blood sucking. After killing or injuring the enemy, it automatically absorbs part of the blood to restore its own vitality and magic power.
The characteristics of this sword were like a timely help. For a moment, Victor didn't even know how to evaluate the knight, Theron.
Until his death, he loyally tried to defend his bishop.
For this, he paid with his life and dragged Victor into this quagmire.
But... because of that extremely dazzling protective heart, Victor was rescued from the quagmire.
Victor didn't know the exact value of this skill, but no matter whether it was more or less, at least every bit of defense and resistance provided by the sword played a 100% role in his fight against this terrifying attack.
……
"call."
Victor exhaled softly.
When I looked up, I saw the priest, Ulysses, standing there.
At that moment, he laughed.
……
Ulysses immediately raised the Apocrypha in his hand, wanting to circulate the now impoverished magic power.
You can see that he is struggling.
Since it's so hard, just be honest.
Victor waved his hand fiercely, and a piece of rubble mixed with steel bars was suddenly stood up by him, and smashed towards the priest with a bang.
Ulysses tried to run in panic, but his speed was obviously not as fast as Victor's thrown objects.
boom!
The sound of flesh being hit by a heavy object was heard, and the latter was smashed against the wall and slid down, with the Apocrypha falling at the feet and scattering.
His internal organs were churning. Ulysses no longer had the former superiority and elegance. He could feel the sharp pain and damp heat coming from the back of his head. Blood was flowing. He opened his eyes and tried to reach out to the apocrypha.
At least... he wanted to purify himself and never allow his noble soul to fall into the hands of the other party.
He has not forgotten that Victor is suspected to have inherited the inherent barrier developed by Brad based on the principle. No one can guarantee whether the other party can also enslave him forever.
However, I guessed it was wrong.
Victor might indeed enslave the opponent, but the method of enslavement is not through ghost ships, but through powerful enemies challenging the space.
However, this kind of weak object sometimes makes Victor doubt. Although he has a high status, can he really be considered a strong enemy?
Snap - just as his outstretched arm was about to touch the Apocrypha, a foot stepped there first, next to the book, and Ulysses' heart sank to the bottom.
Victor stood quietly beside this conceptual weapon. He did not pick it up immediately. Instead, he took a look at the bishop's final appearance and gently raised the knight's sword in his hand.
"Look, this sword is so holy and beautiful."
He murmured quietly.
That’s right, the shape of this guardian sword is different from the violent bloody greatsword. It is a knight’s sword full of ritual and symbolic meaning.
Even though it was made of blood, it was pure white and shone as if it were made of mithril.
The flourishing patterns were engraved on it, as if telling the life precepts of the knight named Theron.
Speaking of which, the knight was silent from the beginning to the end of the battle.
He didn't say a word, and remained silent until his death.
Silently devoting oneself to the virtue of protecting others, this is what a noble person is.
Alas, Victor thought to himself.
Victor pointed the blade downward, aiming it at the opponent's heart.
Without hesitation.
"What this nobleness protects... is just a pile of shit."
"shit."
puff!
[You killed Cardinal Bishop Ulysses and gained 364 experience points. The Guardian Sword restored 16% of your magic power and vitality...]
[You released the Desire Blade·Extraction, you extracted the blood of Cardinal Bishop Ulysses, and you obtained the Desire Blade·Mercy Heart form.]
[You recovered the body of Cardinal Bishop Ulysses and obtained 286 Source Crystals.]
[You successfully killed a cardinal and completed a legendary achievement [Holy Enemy·Initiate]. Your reputation spreads again, and your legend degree increases by 1. Your reputation with the Holy Church drops to - Dead Enemy, and your prestige among the Dead Apostles increases. Your reputation among the Dead Apostles rises to - Reverence. You get rewards: Title [Holy Enemy], and the right to unlock the card drawing system.]
[Title [Holy Enemy]: Legendary, automatically gains upon acquisition - Attribute Points +3, Talent Points +3, Specialty: Holy Damage Reduction 10%, Random Holy Skill Book [Baptism Chant].]
A large number of prompt sounds rang out. Victor lowered his head to pick up the Theory of Monarchy, looked at the other party's body in silence for a few seconds, and suddenly, he shook his head and sighed.
He looked at the Apocrypha in his hand and said softly, "Welcome back to the camp of the Dead Apostles, Magical Costume: Monarchy."
A cardinal of his generation, one of only 128 cardinals in the world, died in his own hands.
But his emotion only lasted for a few seconds; he didn't have much time.
After the choir's long-range attack, the church's follow-up cleanup team would probably arrive a long time later, so he had to hide first.
After taking a hasty look at his gains, he wanted to complain - he understood the reward for the title, although it was not much, but the damage reduction, according to the system's introduction, was like a law-level feature that was directly reduced in the final damage.
In other words, once it accumulates to 100%, he can even ignore any sacred spells, although it is difficult.
And adding the power given by the previous title, he has now reached an extremely terrifying 20%.
So, the Holy Enemy is worthy of its name... But who can tell me... What's the matter with this Holy Baptism skill book, huh?
Frankly speaking, he already had this skill, but he didn't spend money to learn it... Well, with the skill book, he doesn't need to spend money.
But why would you have a random sacred skill as a reward for being a sacred enemy?!
……
Ulysses was not qualified to be included in the Strong Enemy Challenge System, which was more in line with Victor's expectations.
After all, it is not so much that the opponent is powerful, but rather that the hundreds of nuns behind the opponent are too powerful.
The compassion formed by drawing the opponent's blood is quite suitable for the opponent. The overall shape is a book with a black cover and a Bible style. However, it looks intimidating, but actually it is only of excellent grade.
Victor has not yet activated the advancement of the Blade of Desire, so he cannot store the form.
He simply dispersed the weapon and allowed his blood to transform back into the form of a bloody greatsword.
……
Then, Victor didn’t bother about other rewards anymore. He quickly upgraded to level 8.
His current experience has reached 3131/1200, and the upgrade requirement for the next level is 2000.
This means that even if he leveled up to fill up his status, he would still have 1931 experience points, which would quickly meet the next level requirement of 2000 experience points. At the same time, Victor also noticed that as his level got closer to level ten.
The amount of experience he needs to upgrade is increasing rapidly.
However, what Victor did not expect was that after he clicked on the upgrade, the feeling of rapid recovery and restoration that he was familiar with did not come.
Although the upgrade was successful, the weakness still lingered in his body for a long time.
This made Victor frown. He had to look at the attribute panel and suddenly fell silent.

[Holy Wedge]: A curse, a sacred ritual added by Ulysses during the baptism chant, which imposes the [Holy Wedge] state on the opponent's spirit for a certain period of time, using the caster's seriously injured state as an anchor, capturing them and treating them as the "Oracle of the Lord", thus settling the matter.
In this state, all natural repairs and even special recovery (curse recovery) for the spirit will be ineffective.
Adds basic heavy damage effect, suppressing all attributes by 50%.
Adds a soul burning effect. When using mysticism and spirit, secondary holy damage will be inflicted.
This technique is a special attack against mystery. The lower the mystery of the caster and the higher the mystery of the target, the greater the cost of this technique and the stronger the effect.
Victor fell into silence for a rare time. For the first time, he understood what kind of damn "dirty things" Altluchi, whom he had met not long ago, and Brad and others who had confronted him, had encountered.
I finally understood what kind of powerful weapon the Templar Church had developed.
He had heard that in the Type-Moon world, divinity was a negative enhancement, but he didn't expect that mystery could also be targeted.
