Chapter 66: 【Radiant Weapon】【Light Battle Armor】【Satiating Grain】Battle Divine Art

Jier also wanted to test this ability, so while riding his horse toward the area where the resistance was most intense, he shouted loudly at the fighting Sun God Priests: "Bless me with this too! Quickly—"

Jier's combat just now had been astonishing; in a single encounter, he had used two weapons capable of flying automatically to kill nearly twenty Parasitic Monsters and wiped out one very troublesome flowering monster.

Originally, the Sun God Church Priests did not want to waste their limited Divine Power to further enhance the combat strength of a Knight with such extraordinary martial prowess as Jier. But since Jier had made the request publicly, it would have made them look stingy if they did not grant it.

"This Divine Art is called 【Radiant Weapon】, Knight Jier, catch!" The lead priest had seen Jier at the Bell family's banquet and thus knew his name and situation. He stepped forward, followed by two assistants. The three of them held their respective Metal Long Staffs high, aimed the black Coal Stones on the staff heads at Jier, and whispered a prayer together.

The next moment, a stream of Sun God Divine Power shone forward from the Coal Stones in a fan shape, enveloping Jier and the dozen or so Armed Civilians beside him.

They immediately felt as if they were being intensely illuminated by the scorching sun, but this dizzying sensation came and went quickly, vanishing in an instant and instead pouring into their respective weapons.

The Dwarf Soldier Spear in Jier's hand immediately became bright, emitting a glowing white light as if it had been blessed with some remarkable power.

But Jier had no accumulation of Sun God Divine Power within his body, so he did not understand much about this power at the time, only feeling that it was not a very strong force.

He galloped past the Parasitic Monsters, and the long spear in his right hand instantly swept across the monsters' torsos the moment he passed.

Whoosh—whirrrrr, the monsters' bodies were easily sliced open by the spear blade activated by the Dwarf Rune power, but then the newly added power on the spear caused the severely wounded monsters' bodies to burn fiercely.

It seemed that because Jier had inflicted great damage on the monster, the monster suffered scorching flames in proportion to the damage.

No, it was not like it was suffering from flames; the monster's body was simply burning.

"Oh? Still a bit useful."

Jier muttered, slightly adjusting his direction to charge toward the area where the monsters were most numerous.

An attacking monster lunged at Jier, but Jier stabbed it in mid-air, then swung it away, throwing it far off and knocking down several more monsters. Furthermore, the monster pierced by the long spear began to emit white light and flames from its wound as it was flung through the air.

Even the few monsters it knocked over scrambled away in a hurry, fearing they too would be ignited.

"Ha, not bad."

Jier swung his spear continuously, either stabbing a monster's head to make it burst, causing a large amount of flame to erupt from its neck; or sweeping his spear across the chests of a row of monsters, turning several into running torches; or galloping to knock over a Parasitic Monster that overestimated itself against the speed and weight of a warhorse, and as it was sent flying, giving it a follow-up strike with the spear to help it become an existence that could illuminate others.

Another monster lunged from the side and rear; Jier blocked with the long spear in his right hand, then drew his sword from his waist with his left, slicing the opponent in two at the waist with a single stroke.

Wherever Jier rode, the Parasitic Monsters he fought were all ignited to varying degrees, rendering their rather troublesome regenerative self-healing abilities completely useless.

Moreover, the stronger the monster, the more fiercely it would burn after being struck by a weapon blessed with Sun God Divine Power.

In less than a minute, Jier had actually charged through the hundreds of Parasitic Monsters attacking at the time. The space before him cleared, with only a few scattered monsters running over from the Bei Mian Bitter Water Village, their bodies soaking wet.

Jier turned his horse's head and accelerated again to charge into the monster swarm.

But this time, he had barely struck twice before the long spear in his hand was like a flashlight with a depleted battery; it no longer glowed, and it no longer ignited the monsters during combat.

"You've got to be kidding? It ran out of power already?"

Jier yelled, "Priests! Could you trouble yourselves to give me another one?"

But the Sun God Priests had no time to pay attention to Jier at this moment; they were busy in groups of three, blessing Jier's subordinates who had dismounted to join the battle with this 【Radiant Weapon】 Battle Divine Art.

The Warriors had all seen Jier galloping through the monster swarm just now. Now that they were also blessed with the same Divine Art, their morale soared. They formed small combat squads of three to five and charged toward the Parasitic Monsters.

And it seemed that seeing many of Jier's subordinates were armored and possessed professional Shields, the priests, after blessing them with the 【Radiant Weapon】 Divine Art, spent more Sun God Divine Power to bless the Warriors with a new Battle Divine Art: 【Light Battle Armor】.

The white light of the Divine Art swept across the Warriors. The armored Warriors and those with Shields saw their armor and shields covered in white light, with an extra layer of flowing light added to the surfaces facing the enemy.

This dazzling light flowed and deformed on the Warriors' armor and shields, appearing slow yet fast. It was not only good-looking, but every time an enemy's attack struck the armor or shield, it was weakened, while simultaneously emitting a strong glare toward the direction of the enemy's attack, blinding the enemy's eyes.

Although the Parasitic Vine Monster was not affected by Blinding, weakening the enemy's attack force was also a very effective defensive measure.

And for these Warriors blessed with 【Light Battle Armor】, the amount of protection added was not important; the key was that everyone was covered in flowing light, looking extremely elite and handsome. This made them howl, feeling as if they had been strengthened several times over, charging forward bravely and fearlessly toward the monsters.

The Warriors collided head-on with the Parasitic Monsters. The Parasitic Monsters, which looked troublesome and were indeed troublesome, were instantly cut down by the dozen—this was just the result of a single encounter.

This surprised the Sun God Priests who were still casting Divine Arts. They had blessed their own Town Guards and Armed Civilians with these Divine Arts, and not just these two, so why didn't they have this kind of combat capability?

How could the gap between people be so large?

The five Priests of the Goddess of Spring, who had also arrived on horseback with the team, saw the heated atmosphere of the battlefield and the Sun God Church Priests "showing off their power." Naturally, they could not let them have all the glory. The five of them did not dismount, but adjusted their positions on horseback. With the middle-aged priest as the center, they each grabbed handfuls of plump wheat seeds, declared the prayer in unison, and jointly cast a Battle Divine Art: 【Satiating Grain】.

They chanted the prayer of the Divine Art loudly, calling upon the Goddess of Spring—Prosperity, in this passionate summer, to grant all those present the physical strength that comes after a full meal.

Because the priests could already see that after several days of continuous fierce fighting, every Villager and Town Guard here was extremely exhausted, not only physically but also mentally.

And the 【Satiating Grain】 Battle Divine Art they were casting at this moment appeared to increase satiety for everyone and incidentally restore their physical strength. In fact, any priest who studied this Divine Art deeply would know that it had another hidden ability—while restoring everyone's physical strength, it also slightly restored the human spirit.

It seemed to make some sense; after all, as long as a person ate a full meal and had sufficient physical strength, their spirit would naturally be full, and the person would be full of drive.

Although it sounded absurd, this Divine Art indeed had this effect.

And if one called upon the corresponding seasonal deity in the Faith of the Goddess of Spring according to the correct season while casting this Divine Art, there would be additional benefits.

In spring, the season of abundance, the Goddess of Spring would additionally extend the duration of the Divine Art.

In summer, the season of passion, the Goddess of Summer would additionally increase the specific effects of the Divine Art.

In autumn, the season of satisfaction, the Goddess of Autumn would additionally return a portion of Divine Power to the priest.

In winter, the season of hibernation, the Lady of Winter would additionally grant another effect.

These were not experiences in casting Battle Divine Arts that young priests could understand. Young priests might have heard of them, but the thinness of their Divine Power and the brevity of their lives gave them little opportunity to come into contact with Battle Divine Arts, let alone have relevant experience.

At this moment, countless plump wheat seeds flew into the sky, absorbing the large amount of Goddess of Spring Divine Power projected by the priests. Then, under the gentle breath of an illusion of a beautiful Goddess of Prosperity in the air, the wheat seeds fell accurately from the sky onto every Human present.

Yes, the hundreds of Humans around, including the Sun God Priests and Jier, who had charged through the monsters, all had a wheat seed full of Goddess of Spring Divine Power land accurately on them.

Subsequently, this Divine Art unreasonably granted everyone the feeling of having eaten a full meal, a one-time massive restoration of physical strength, and additionally made everyone feel as if they had rested for several hours, their spirits becoming full.

The Sun God Church Priests were furious, glaring at the few priests on horseback, but at this moment, they were there to support them, so they could not say anything and could only circulate the Sun God Divine Power within their bodies to expel the Goddess of Spring Divine Art power affecting them.

Although the Divine Art felt good, they were priests of the Sun God! How could they accept the Divine Art of other deities?

The dozen or so of them looked disgusted, but the other hundreds of Humans present felt great.

After a round of engagement, the Warriors were at a moment of brief recovery from physical exertion, but with the Divine Art upon them, they erupted in another wave, charging forward twenty or thirty meters in one go and killing more than twenty Parasitic Monsters.

As for the other Town Guards and Armed Civilians present, their originally low morale and withered spirits were also lifted by the enhancement of the Divine Art. Encouraged by Jier's Warriors, they waved their glowing weapons and followed behind the Warriors, expanding the results and killing several Parasitic Monsters.

The crowd gathered together, and even the ordinary Villagers who did not have many weapons stood up and followed behind the crowd, charging toward the front.

Jier looked back at this scene, immediately pulled the Jiansheng, made the Tianxuecao rear up, and shouted to everyone: "Target! Bitter Water Village! Attack! Attack! Attack!"

Jier happened to be blessed with 【Radiant Weapon】 and 【Light Battle Armor】 by the Sun God Priests who were still casting Battle Divine Arts, and his whole person—no, both man and horse—was emitting a golden-white light.

People saw it, were pleasantly surprised, and charged toward Jier's position.

Jier held a Long Sword in his left hand and a Long Spear in his right, continuously striking down all the Parasitic Vine Monsters nearby, igniting them into individual burning torches.

Dozens of seconds later, Jier reunited with the people, stepping over the charred corpses of the monsters, and advanced forward side by side.

The monsters organized a resistance, but were routed by the Hunting Sword Jier threw. This time, the Hunting Sword did not need to fly out and change from a thrust to a Horizontal Slash to increase lethality; it flew straight out, piercing through the bodies of the monsters, causing the bodies of the monsters penetrated front and back to erupt in flames from the entry points.

Moreover, unlike other powers, the Hunting Sword seemed to be very well-adapted to the Radiant Weapon Divine Art imbued upon it, and the entire weapon became extremely active. Jier keenly noticed that at this very moment, every time it killed a Parasitic Vine Monster, the Hunting Sword became more agile, as if being the center of attention on the battlefield like this was something it found extremely satisfying.

In a mere two minutes, Jier led everyone to break through the monsters' defensive line. With the support of the agricultural Priests casting the Satiating Grain Divine Art once again, the entire group did not even need to rest; hundreds of people abandoned their luggage and supplies, and holding their weapons, they strode toward Bitter Water Village, which was not far from there.

During the time the Warriors led the commoners to attack Bitter Water Village, Jier broke away from the group and turned his direction to slaughter the group of monsters that had just been routed.

These Parasitic Vine Monsters were all stunned; the Human group that had been harassed, attacked, and suppressed by them for the past two days—how did they break through them in one go?

Are these Humans?

If Jier knew their thoughts, he would definitely shout loudly: "Of course they are Humans, don't underestimate the strength of Humans!"

At this time, Jier counter-slaughtered his way back, naturally trying to kill as many monsters as possible while his state was excellent.

After all, it was said before that the Xīběi entrance of Northern Sasi County is now blocked by Bell and his men, and the monsters no longer have the opportunity for large-scale parasitic reproduction; now, for every one more killed, the number of monsters will be one less.

If the monsters, who were already stunned by the Human uprising, are not all killed now while they have lost their organizational ability, it is estimated that after a while, they will reorganize. Even if they don't fight Jier and the others, it would be very troublesome if they drifted to other nearby places.

"Go, Yueshui Skull, you go into the fray too. Although this Divine Art doesn't quite match you, you have been strengthened, go quickly!"

Jier threw the blue Two-handed Axe, letting it go out to kill the enemy on its own, while he himself aimed the Dwarf Soldier Spear in his right hand at a flowering monster in the center of a monster group and threw it with all his might, piercing through several Parasitic Vine Monsters in one go, igniting them into torches, and then piercing through the flowering monster, pinning it to the ground, unable to be pulled out for a while.

Jier switched the Hunting Sword in his left hand to his right, leaned down while riding his horse to swing the sword, and relying on the strength of a Knight, slashed the passing Parasitic Vine Monsters in two, setting them ablaze.

He even felt that the monsters were not gathering enough, so he simply jumped off his warhorse, let the Tianxuecao run to the outside, and landed on the ground himself, giving the surrounding monsters the illusion that they could kill him.

Jier took the Olive-shaped Shield captured from the Hartna Knight from the left side of his back and held it in his left hand.

He exerted force with both feet, and his whole person was like an angry bull; the thick shield in front was the bull's head, knocking over and bumping away the monsters that wanted to pounce on and parasitize him. Then, he swung the Hunting Sword in his right hand with all his might, slashing all the approaching monsters into pieces.

"Good! That's it! Only this way is satisfying!"

Jier shouted at the top of his lungs; anyway, he was the only Human around, so he could show the truest thoughts in his heart without any scruples.

Not long after, the spinning blue axe shredded the last Parasitic Vine Monster attempting to flee into withered fragments, and then landed beside Jier.

The blue light on the axe was brilliant; it was clear that it and the monsters upon it had completely recovered in the recent slaughter.

Jier put away the axe, put away the Knight Shield covered in monster fluids, and then, carrying the Hunting Sword, whistled to call back the Tianxuecao.

He was full of energy, because he knew that another battle was waiting for him!

Bitter Water Village, he was coming.
