Chapter 771 Sun Warrior Version Mentor
"This is our thirteenth attempt, and it will be the closest we've ever come to success."
While the Wild Forest Church was busy changing the color of consciousness, in another part of the Sien Dungeon, the members of the Starfire Church were still fighting to defeat the "Twin Gargoyles".
For some reason, although this is their thirteenth attempt at the raid, they do not feel tired due to the depletion of their mental energy. On the contrary, they seem to be getting more and more energetic as they fight.
Theoretically speaking, they are all exhausted and on the verge of being kicked out of the Sien Dungeon at any moment.
Looking around, the Starfire Knights, including Hervi, were covered in filth. Their original armor had long been destroyed, and they could only wear the scattered pieces of equipment dropped by various enemies. They looked no different from bandits, outlaws, or even vagrants. In other dungeons, they would have been considered monsters.
But their eyes burned with an intense fervor, radiating an astonishing light at all times, their spirits piercing the sky like sharp swords.
It's a strange state; how can anyone simultaneously experience both "mental exhaustion" and "high spirits"?
But the Starfire Knights did it.
This is beyond human capability. After all, once mental energy is depleted, it is depleted. Recovering mental energy in the dungeon is much more difficult than on ordinary days.
So what exactly happened?
Gong Qiying was initially confused, so he began to observe everyone closely and eventually discovered something strange.
As adventurers experience repeated brushes with death, their mental energy gradually diminishes, and their mental strength decreases when faced with similar emergencies. At such times, the Sien Dungeon will kick out adventurers, but they will usually leave on their own initiative.
Herve and her group stubbornly refused to leave because they wanted to defeat the two gargoyles, but their mental strength was not yet at the danger level.
This is because they pray.
Each time they are resurrected, they pray to the symbol of their faith—the emblem of the sun—and recite the prayers created by the Church of the Starfire.
And after this short prayer ended, something miraculous happened.
Their mental strength recovered somewhat briefly, although the amount recovered was small and would decline again over time, but it was indeed a real recovery!
“I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
Gong Qiying was slightly surprised by this, and the reason for his surprise was:
"So prayers really do work in this world?"
In the past, there were many people with faith who prayed in the Sien Dungeon. He had observed them, but concluded that their prayers were useless and were merely a form of spiritual self-comfort.
But when they arrived in Scameron, how come the people's prayers were actually effective and could really boost their spiritual power?
So he turned to look at the others. The Golden God Cult and the Wild Forest Church, these people with other faiths, actually experienced a brief buff of increased mental strength after praying, and even some other additional effects could be observed.
The members of the Church of Starfire seemed to have become braver, the Church of the Wild Forest more mystical, and the Church of the Golden Arts more adept at controlling their own magic.
All of this proves that the prayers of the Scameron people are truly effective!
In the eyes of the Sien Dungeon, what their talent represented was quite obvious.
“The local natives are truly the best spiritual beasts.”
Therefore, Gong Qiying immediately reduced the mental energy deduction from adventurers' mental energy each time they died and revived. For these people with special talents, taking a long-term approach could yield greater benefits.
From this perspective, it seems that not only races, but also people from different regions have differences in abilities.
The dragon blood and warrior talent of the Warriors, the skill-learning ability of the Rheds, and the prayers of the Scammeron for "healing".
Wait a minute, if that's the case, what about the people of the Kingdom of Anor? They seem so "primitive".
Could it be that his talent is the ability to create hilarious situations?
Although he couldn't yet imagine what the talents and strengths of the people of the Kingdom of Anor were, it didn't affect the fact that Gong Qiying already regarded the Scameron people as a treasure trove waiting to be explored. He paid special attention to Hervi, reducing his mental energy for death and resurrection, intending to see what surprises these people could give him.
In addition, the recent actions of the Wild Forest Church are quite concerning, and it feels like the effects will soon become apparent.
On the other side.
"Set off!"
After a brief prayer, the Starfire Knights set off on their journey with renewed vigor, their destination naturally being the "Twin Gargoyles"!
This time they are confident of victory.
As the battles continued, the odds of winning this boss fight gradually increased from a single-digit percentage at the beginning. Every death became valuable experience that could be used in the next battle, allowing them to climb higher and higher, like climbing a treacherous mountain. At this moment, only one final hurdle remained to secure victory.
And they firmly believed they had earned the right to cross this final hurdle, because—
"Buzz—"
Before the fog gate, a golden summoning emblem appeared, upon which the golden figure of Solal emerged—this was his summoning emblem.
Does the final leap refer to help from Solar?
The Starfire Knights glanced respectfully at Solal's summoning emblem, but none of them stepped forward to light it. Instead, they all bypassed the symbol and touched the fog gate one after another.
Passing through layers of mist, we arrived at the clock tower beneath the sky.
It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky, illuminating the surroundings.
For solar warriors like them, this was the perfect place to unleash their full power.
"Do you still remember what you learned from Solar?" Hervé raised his hands slightly, ready to unleash the Dragon Fang.
“I remember it perfectly.” The Starfire Knights grinned, each one eager to try.
At this moment, they have help from Solar!
However, the assistance is not directly provided in combat, but rather in combat techniques.
During this time, the Starfire Knights made a special trip back to find Solal and received brief special training from him, learning more powerful combat skills.
By spending souls, you can learn enhanced versions of the Thunder Spear and Giant Thunder Spear from Solal, and you will also receive training to increase your understanding of the combat magic of the Sun Warrior type, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of these skills.
The other party was like a mentor who appeared specifically for the Sun Warriors, a Sun Warrior version of Bernal!
Led by Solar, the people arrived at the broken statue of the eldest son of the sun, a deserted altar that still functioned as it should.
At this altar, they can still use the Sun Badge to obtain rewards related to the Sun Oath!
In addition to the original rewards, various variations have appeared. For example, the magic that everyone is now unanimously exchanging for is called [Lightning Hammer], which condenses lightning into the shape of a warhammer to attack enemies.
The Sun Altar has added new magic based on lightning, which can be shaped into various weapons, such as the Lightning Hammer, Lightning Shield, and Lightning Spear.
In addition, passive talents such as "Blessing of the Sun" that can enhance lightning damage have appeared.
The items available for exchange at the Sun Altar have been updated!
Unfortunately, all they had were the Sun Badges they usually used for prayer, plus the ones Solar had given them as a gift, which could only be exchanged for a spell like a lightning hammer.
But that was enough, because one of their major disadvantages when facing gargoyles was the lack of weapons that could inflict blunt force, and the appearance of the lightning hammer made up for this deficiency.
With the addition of the enhanced lightning spears they received from Solal, the Starfire Knights' strength has taken a giant leap forward!
When faced with the two gargoyles, they decided not to summon Solar and to rely on their own strength to achieve victory.
"Crackling sound—"
The sound of rocks cracking came from ahead, and finally one of the rows of gargoyle sculptures moved. The bell-guarding gargoyle shook off the rocks on its body, leaped into the air, and waved its bronze weapon at the people!
"go!"
With a clasp of her hands, Hervé unleashed a torrent of dragon fangs, which instantly transformed into chains that bound the newly revived gargoyle tightly, causing it to fall to the ground with a thud.
This has almost become a routine before every fight, as the gargoyle always reveals such a weakness.
"Now!"
The Starfire Knights surged forward, lightning hammers instantly materializing in their hands. They then formed a circle around the gargoyle, punching and kicking it, filling the air with the crackling of lightning and the sound of shattering rocks.
It should have been a fantastical battle scene, but why did it look more like a street brawl between gangsters?
"Aww!"
Enraged by the humiliation, the gargoyle roared and broke free from the restraints of its scales. However, the Starfire Knights, sensing something was amiss, scattered in all directions, and some even snatched the gargoyle's weapon.
The latter was not flustered. He turned around and was about to take off his own tail to use as a weapon. He was actually going to cut off his own tail. But when he looked back, he found that his tail had long since disappeared. It had been chopped off by some Starfire Knight when he was being ganged up on!
Another Gargoyle Halberd in hand, weapon upgrade +1.
The scattering dragon fangs came again, half of them turning into chains to bind the others and the other half launching direct attacks. The Starfire Knights, who had been watching intently from the side, were ready to strike. From the very beginning, they displayed their strongest destructive power.
Their tactic was to quickly kill the Gargoyle before Galio could appear.
After numerous battles, they had figured out most of Galio's abilities. Many of his abilities could assist the gargoyles, and the two monsters together could unleash tremendous destructive power, excelling in both offense and defense.
Therefore, regardless of who you kill first, it's best to leave only one alive, leaving them isolated and helpless.
The gargoyle guarding the bell needs no introduction. Hervé has figured out its movements, and controlling the strangling dragon tooth alone is enough to restrain it, in addition to the Starfire Knights going all out.
In a short time, one of the gargoyle's arms was smashed, and half of its body was cracked. It looked like it wouldn't be able to withstand a few more blows.
The power of the lightning hammer is truly remarkable; this shows the importance of having the right weapon for your needs!
However, one must not let one's guard down as victory approaches, because the monsters of the Sien Dungeon often like to suddenly appear at such moments to give people a surprise.
The winds shifted dramatically at that moment, and a sudden hurricane struck everyone from an unexpected direction!
Sure enough, Galio made his move!
The Starfire Knights had rehearsed this scene countless times, and their muscle memory allowed them to roll backward. Except for one person who was a little slow to react and was blown away by the hurricane, the rest of them all avoided the danger.
Those closest to where the hurricane appeared threw their lightning hammers directly at the location where the gale originated!
Amidst the roar of lightning, Galio slowly revealed himself with a painful groan, clearly having suffered real damage due to his location being predicted.
The lightning hammers that were suddenly thrown at him interrupted the shield he was about to cast.
Meanwhile, the Starfire Knights didn't even glance at him again, all rushing towards the pitiful gargoyle, desperately trying to get a hit!
Galio, of course, wouldn't stand by and watch his teammates die here. His eyes suddenly flashed with shockwaves, but they were all blocked by the strangling dragon teeth that arrived ahead of time.
The roof beneath its feet suddenly shattered, and swarms of dragon scales wrapped around its ankles. Hervi burst in from behind, and a dazzling giant lightning spear pierced through its wings, leaving a horrific wound.
"Ouch!"
With a shrill roar, everyone involved in the battle felt their souls increase, signifying that their plan was half successful.
The gargoyle guarding the bell was killed!
With one side dying, the other gains an amplification. Galio unleashed even greater power, shattering his restraints and throwing them at Herve, roaring to the sky!
Then a bolt of lightning struck and smothered his mouth, abruptly silencing his roar.
"Monsters love to shout and yell to create openings. Watch us take it down in one fell swoop!"
After taking down the gargoyles, the Starfire Knights didn't dare to stop for a moment. As they charged forward, their hands kept moving, constantly throwing lightning spears. Those who ran fast took out their lightning hammers and smashed them relentlessly.
Galio used the gusts of wind generated by his wings to blow away the enemy, the shockwaves from his eyes clashed with the Thunder Spear, and then used his claw to knock away the nearest Starfire Knight. It looked like he was about to retract his wings and unleash an extremely powerful ultimate move.
"You brat, behold the Flying Dragon Sword!"
Just then, Hevy's voice came from behind him, and Galio turned around to look.
A sword aura shot into the sky and rushed towards him at high speed, slicing open his chest in an instant!
"Well!"
The Flying Dragon Sword +1, this weapon, enhanced by the blacksmith Andre, finally came into Hervé's hands. This was the first time he had used it in the battlefield of the two gargoyles.
Just as expected, this sword aura technique, which was released at the cost of greatly depleting the durability of the Flying Dragon Sword, was quite powerful!
This is one of the reasons for our confidence in winning!
After being slashed quite badly by the sword, Galio completely entered a state of rage. His body even emitted a red glow, greatly amplifying the power of his various moves and making him look exceptionally terrifying.
But at that moment, all the Starfire Knights rushed over, each of them fighting with all their might without holding back!
An unprecedented tremor erupted from the roof of the Church of the Immortals.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of rocks cracking and breaking echoed from the rooftops, accompanied by cheers from the people.
"Now, we can go and ring the bell!"
