Chapter 3 The perceived divinity

As the flying dragons in the west of Gray Island retreated, other dragon groups began to show their intention to retreat after losing the cover of flanking. They reduced the frequency of impact and their offensive gradually slowed down.

More than ten minutes later, accompanied by a few scattered dragons, many flying dragons spread across the island fled back to the clouds in a panic. Today, the fifth raid of the mad dragons ended, and the sky was clear.

At this time, the priests who were originally holding the summoning ceremony were treating the numerous injured crew members inside the Time.

Due to breaking into the abyss and fighting with the Crystal Dragon afterwards, the Ark experienced several strong shocks. Many crew members with poor strength fell into coma and have not woken up so far. Moreover, some of the particularly unlucky crew members were affected by the exploration team and were parasitized by the brain-eating worms spread by Nolan.

Unlike the powerful exploration team, they do not have the strength to resist the damage of the brain-eating insects. Even though they received timely treatment from the three members of the church, many crew members are still in danger now.

But all this has nothing to do with Joshua and his group who are already in the Central Temple. After relying on their own pressure (?) to expel the large number of flying dragons, the warriors and others quickly received news from the church.

Pope Eagle is now on the top of the Holy Mountain, waiting for his arrival.

Even if the silent Steel Element No. 1 was talking, she was just sizzling with the sleeping black under her armpits. She sat on her shoulders, following Joshua. Under the guidance of a young priest, they quickly advanced towards the Central Temple District.

Along the way, the group passed through several abandoned small towns, which were the residences of the priests living around the Holy Mountains, but now due to the invasion of the mad dragon, everyone lives around the sturdy temple.

Despite this, some of the outer temples, such as the thirteen coastal temples in the west of the island, have basically been abandoned. If it were not for the Time or the port of the island, and the coordinates determined were also nearby, they would never have been activated.

The holy mountain is majestic. Just look up and you can see the mountain emitting holy white light. Countless tall and solid temples are scattered on it. Under the leadership of the young priest who was moving very reluctantly, Joshua came to the first line of defense outside the Central Temple District with a gloomy face.

The priests stationed seemed to have received news that they did not stop the warriors and their group. Of course, several knights with insufficient self-control pulled out their swords as soon as they saw Joshua, but that was just a subconscious self-protection consciousness, and the warriors would not be angry about it.

Even if the warrior heard the crowd spreading the "big demon?", "Why do humans have a halo of despair...", "Is he a human-shaped demon dragon escorted?", the warrior was not angry.

Because he was looking at his character panel, he didn't have time to waste such meaningless things.

[You killed Shadra, the erosioner of the sea abyss demon dragon]

【You killed the Black Dragon Dead Smoke Grandi】

[You have arrived at the 31st floor of the Abyss of Blood Moon]

[You killed the Crystal Dragon Mandagar, the spokesperson of the famine]

[You destroyed the super-large composite chaos ritual domain overlap]

[You have completed the legendary event of the dark moon!]

【You achieved success and stared into the abyss】

[You return safely from an abyss plane, proving that no matter how dangerous the environment is, you cannot hinder your pace. Your resistance to any harsh attribute is increased by 30%, and your resistance increase speed is doubled.]

Bad attribute resistance means that when located in abyss, chaotic planes and various elemental planes, it can slow down the erosion speed of local special forces. Whether it is the abyss breath, chaotic power or the erosion of the four major elements, it will be weakened. In a sense, it can be said to be an enhanced version of the resistance of all elements.

The demons have extremely high resistance to magic. It is precisely because of this ability that all demons have this harsh attribute resistance. They can adapt to any environment. Even in the void without air and elements, the demons can survive for a certain period of time. Seeing this, Joshua nodded. This achievement is quite good, at least it will be much better than the last time the elf's favorability increase.

You know, since the warrior returned to the Mycrov continent from the Ilgna world, he has never encountered an elves! And even if he encounters them, he will probably be similar to those guarded and extremely nervous priests around him. Even if he looks up, he needs to muster up a lot of courage.

In short, although this adventure in the abyss was a bit dangerous, I got much more than I got at the cost of almost dying in the last time in the Ilgna world.

Turning his eyes, Joshua looked at his character card.

【Name: Joshua Van Radcliff】

【Template: Hero】

[Title: Hundred Clans Extermination (kill 100 creatures of different races to unlock)]

【Race: Human???

【Race Skill: Divine (?)】

【Level: lv63 Extreme Intermediate Level】

[Challenge Level: lv59 (Hero)]

【property:……】

【Caramour:-238】

"laugh."

Seeing this, Joshua made an inexplicable voice. Now that he is not surprised by the decline of his charm. Fortunately, he killed not many monsters this time, so few of them have decreased. Big head should be the rewards obtained by destroying the Chaos Rite and killing those demon dragons. It was reversed by the Chaos Curse.

Generally speaking, as adventurers take risks, they will kill many monsters and receive many glory. Resentment and praise cancel each other out, and the charm should slowly increase or decrease, but Joshua's charm is falling all the way because of the curse, and may have broken through the historical lower limit of the Mycrov continent.

Just as Joshua was about to continue reading his character card downwards, the whole system suddenly blurred for a moment.

This feeling is difficult to describe in words, because the light curtain of the system appears in the warrior's mind and then projected into his eyes, so its blur is a spiritual change, as if the thinking becomes hazy in an instant and is about to be forgotten.

However, this blur lasted for a short moment. Even Joshua could not determine whether the blur just now was his own illusion. The warriors rarely used the system and did not know what the thing was like on weekdays.

So he could only frown, secretly remember the strange change, and then continued to look down the character card.

Since there were too many specific professions, skills and statuses, he simply skipped over and looked straight at his extra special talents and protection.

【Intensive Protection】

[Silent Extinction: Once a day, specify a race, causing great intimidation to it, and the corresponding attacks will be greatly increased, lasting for three days]

[Killing does not require words, you only need to wave your arms.]

[Silent Arrogant: Ignore spells and special abilities two stages lower than the holder's current level (currently the highest level of neglect: Silver Intermediate)]

[Arrogant people always disdain for the weak's counterattack.]

Description: Your reputation is far away from overseas, rulers from all over the world will pay attention to your voice, and even the mountain people living in the deep mountains and forests may have heard of your deeds. Just talking about your reputation, you have left your name in history, and there will be a brilliant stroke in the history books of the Mycrov continent.

Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help but turn his head and look at Firefly and Rin, who were sitting on the shoulders of No. 1. The silver-haired girl is now doing nothing and wiggles her feet boredly. The black-haired boy looks at the surrounding scenery with interest, as if he is silently remembering the arrangement of the defense line.

These two protective gear come from the special abilities of the Divine Ji siblings. As their masters, Joshua can obtain this power as long as he does not interrupt the Divine Ji contract.

But... no matter how you look at it, this ability has nothing to do with positive words such as good people and heroes. The so-called deeds are probably negative news, right?

He simply ignored this information and Joshua closed the character panel.

They had arrived at the foot of the Holy Mountain and led to the entrance and exit of the Grand Temple at the top.

The entrance and exit are located inside a simple stone temple. Gioshuya and others walked into it under the guidance of a young priest. The bright pyroxene lamps embedded in its inner wall emitted a bright light, bringing a hint of sacredness to this simple-decorated hall.

Unlike the outside world covered by clouds, the hall is surrounded by a fresh and gentle wind, which continues to purify the surrounding air. The entrance and exit is a stone arch tunnel, and the lens is a long ladder leading to the top of the mountain. There are not many priests patrolling and guarding nearby, but each one is strong and has the strength of the golden rank.

"The 'Love Hall' is one of the oldest temples of the Seven Gods. It was originally the temple of the God of Life, but it was later transformed into an entrance and exit to the top of the Holy Mountain."

The young priest who guided Joshua and his party gradually adapted to Joshua's pressure along the way. Although he still dared not look at the warriors, he could no longer stutter. He looked at Shibi next to him with a serious expression and said, "Sir, I can only take you here. Without the permission of the bishops, ordinary priests are not allowed to enter and exit the holy mountain at will."

"I understand, thank you."

Joshua noticed that the young blonde priest shivered when he heard his voice, but now it was not the time to care about these trivial matters. The priests guarding the entrance and exit had already made way. Without hesitation, the warrior walked directly into the arch and passed through the tunnel.

The pure white mountain appeared before his eyes.

The mountain is like a sharp sword, deep in the clouds, dull thunder sounds at the hillside, and you can see flash currents flowing. The steps made by the solid rocks are like endless winding chains, passing through endless gray arches and spreading towards the top of the mountain.

"The Road to Fire Sword."

After chanting softly, Joshua turned his head and told the silent Chu No. 1: "Follow me, there are quite a lot of time and space secrets in this place, and it is easy to get lost."

"Sizi."

It seemed to be a response, but even the warriors did not understand what the Steel Element's reply meant. In this battle in the abyss, the first one made great contributions. If it hadn't hidden the unconscious bodies of everyone and awakened Hill, allowing Robzek to help Joshua crush the Chaos Rune, the end of the battle would be difficult to predict.

Giothya intends to return to Moldavia and ask Miss No. 3 to carry out a powerful transformation for the first place, and it should be very happy.

Along the way, because the warriors had the order power of the Sky Blue Pearl, and the Shenji brothers also received a trace of holy light protection because of the holy light immersion in the holy light, they were not stopped and walked towards the top of the mountain quickly.

On both sides of the Fire Sword Road, there are sometimes huge statues of seven sacred objects appearing, which contain a trace of inexplicable aura. If it were the former Joshua, perhaps he would not be able to distinguish the true body of these auras, but now, he knows that they are all a trace of divinity contained in the holy objects.

Although Joshua did not believe in the Seven Gods, he had a little respect for these existences that protected human civilization. According to the news received by the father of nature and Ogner, the warriors knew that the Seven Gods of the human race had been protecting the development of civilization for more than a thousand years after the catastrophe of destruction, without any slack. Faced with such achievements, no one would stop slightly and express respect.

Not long after, after passing through all the seven sacred objects, the warriors and their group passed through the clouds, fog and lightning, and arrived at the top of the Holy Mountain. No matter when it was, they were in front of the great temple shining by the bright moon and stars.

"Bang!"

At the entrance of the temple, there were many guards wearing golden-patterned and white robes. After seeing Joshua, they were stunned and then saluted seriously, making dull sounds, and then moved away from the position leading to the interior of the temple.

For these priests with strong will, the difference in charm between people is like the difference between stones and stones, and has no substantial meaning. Joshua nodded slightly, bowed back to these people, and then entered the temple.

‘The lonely sun, the two moons, the endless stars, the root of the thousand years, only the light will last forever’

Passing through the majestic arch of the Great Temple, the warrior glanced at the etched holy words on it, and then without any hesitation, he walked directly along the passage and to the end of the arcade.

At the Temple of Heaven, the center of the Great Temple, he saw an old man wearing a sacred silver crown and holding a pure white scepter.

Pope Eagle, who was looking up at the skylight of the temple dome, lowered his head. He looked directly at Joshua, his eyes swept across the warrior's body, and then condensed in the warrior's heart.

"Count Joshua van Radcliffe."

The old man said kindly: "Hello, we're meeting again."

"Hello, the Pope's crown."

Facing the Pope of the Seven Gods Church, who was not an incarnation but a true body, Joshua nodded, performed a simple etiquette, and then asked simply: "What's wrong with asking me to come here?"

This is a habit that was formed when I took on too many tasks in the past, and soldiers rarely talk nonsense about this.

But Pope Eagle did not directly answer Joshua's question. The old man smiled and said slowly: "The design and construction of the Time is all done by myself, and every magic circle on it is engraved by me."

His brows raised slightly. Although Joshua was a little surprised that Iger, as the pope, could have taken action personally and engraved a magic circle for a temple ark, he immediately understood a lot when he thought that the destination of the ark was the abyss.

But the warrior didn't know why the old man talked about this topic. Did he want to express his hard work? Although the ark was seriously damaged during the adventure... but he didn't ask himself to come here just for this matter, right?

And Eagle continued: "The Glow Fire Magic Array is the crystallization of my decades of research. Its purpose can transform holy light and positive energy, form the purest barrier of order power to resist the erosion of the abyss and the chaotic aura, and is the core of the church's plan in the next few decades."

Speaking of this, the old pope showed a strange smile: "Although I was a little embarrassed, I built an observation array into this magic circle, so when the ark left the abyss and returned to the gray island, I already knew all your experiences this time."

"It's normal." Joshua nodded. He had no thoughts about it. It would be better to say that it would be abnormal if it was not the case: "Save me or Robzek and others to report it."

Understanding that this was the warrior’s sincere thought, Pope Eagle’s expression couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. He frowned in distress, and then asked in an attempt: “Jothia… do you really have no feelings?”

Feeling the seriousness of the old man's tone, the soldier also became serious. He frowned and said solemnly: "What do you think?"

"Divine."

Sighing, Pope Eagle said directly: "Although I was surprised, you actually have a formed divine nature."

"Jothia, this is a great event." r
