SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Buffs Maxed Out, Zhou Yi’s True Strength!

TL: YYang

Zhou Yi had his reasons for entering the next stage so quickly.

That reason was to save time!!

Suhang Province, being a major area for college entrance exams, had many geniuses.

Among the province’s top students, those aiming for the top 100 generally chose to solo the Nightmare difficulty mode.

Everyone faced the same difficulty; the remaining factor was the time taken to clear the dungeon.

If Zhou Yi wanted to aim for the top scorer in Suhang Province, he naturally had to race against the clock.

Stepping into the portal.

After a moment of dizziness, he regained his senses and immediately surveyed his surroundings.

Unlike the previous two stages.

This time, he found himself in a stone palace.

The palace was extremely spacious, estimated to be nearly 2,000 square meters.

Under the golden light emitted by the Holy Light Cross behind him, he could see eight towering stone pillars within the palace.

The pillars were adorned with various intricate runes and images of cat demons and minotaurs.

At the ends of the eight pillars was a grand staircase with hundreds of steps.

Looking up, on the platform at the top of the staircase sat a massive stone throne.

Due to the distance, Zhou Yi could only vaguely see a giant shadow sitting on that throne.

Since the entire palace was hidden within the forest, the hall appeared somewhat dim.

Now that Zhou Yi had entered, the Holy Light Cross behind him radiated like a small sun, casting light everywhere.

Under the stimulation of the holy light, a pair of blood-red eyes exuding a chilling, bloodthirsty aura slowly emerged from the shadow on the throne.

Just making eye contact with them filled Zhou Yi with a sense of the stench of blood and death.

“Human…”

“You dare to step into my palace! Prepare to die!!”

A deep voice, filled with intense killing intent, echoed through the vast palace.

The towering figure stood up from the throne and stepped out of the shadows.

Illuminated by the dazzling light behind him, Zhou Yi was able to see the full form of this figure.

It was a Minotaur standing three meters tall.

Its muscles were bulging, its skin dark, exuding a metallic, cold sheen.

The Minotaur had two massive horns on its head.

The right horn was broken halfway, while the left horn was intact, reaching towards the sky.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yi could see some dark red bloodstains on the surface of the horns.

Its fangs were bared, glinting ominously.

In its right hand, it held a uniquely shaped battle axe that was over three meters long!!

“Hmm?”

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, intrigued by this muscular monster.

A Minotaur that could speak human language?

Previously, even the silver-grade Minotaur could only use primal roars.

Under the observation of the universal skill ‘Appraisal Technique,’ the information of the final BOSS before him was revealed.

[Monster: Minotaur King]
[Level: 16]
[Quality: Gold☆]
[Skills: ???]
[Note: The Minotaur King is the ruler of the Minotaur tribe, capable of commanding all Minotaurs Depths of the Dark Forest.]

…

“So this is the final BOSS of the Depths of the Dark Forest?”

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the information displayed by the Appraisal Technique.

Appraisal Technique wasn’t omnipotent.

When the level difference was too great, key information would show ‘???’ as a marker.

So, not being able to see the skill information didn’t surprise him.

“A level 16 gold-grade BOSS, it seems I need to boost my strength further.”

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi closed his eyes slightly, feeling the magic energy surging within him.

The next moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the cross mark on his forehead glowed, with countless holy lights bursting forth from his body.

“Blessing of Dawn!”

“Gift of Courage!”

“God’s Blessing!”

“Gift of Protection!”

“……”

The Saint Knight was often referred to as a support profession.

This is because it had an abundance of enhancement skills!!

On the battlefield, a legion with a Saint Knight had completely different combat power compared to one without!

The various buff auras and protective gifts from the Saint Knight could elevate a legion’s combat power by several tiers!!

Although Zhou Yi wasn’t following a support route, how could he not learn the enhancement skills that embody the essence of the Saint Knight?

After all, unlike ordinary students who were short on skill points, he could obtain a large number of skill points through daily task rewards.

He didn’t have to worry about not having enough skill points to allocate to skills!!

Within the palace, under the influence of this series of blessings and enhancement skills, the aura emanating from Zhou Yi grew increasingly powerful.

As his aura reached its peak, he focused his gaze, gripping the battle axe tightly, preparing to start the final BOSS battle!!

However, what he didn’t know was that this series of actions had caused a stir in the outside world!

…

…

“Holy crap, how does Senior Zhou have so many enhancement skills?!”

“Counting all of them, there must be over ten skills! How did he manage to master so many?”

“With so many buffs stacked, how terrifying will the final enhancement be?!”

“Don’t forget, most of the Saint Knight’s buff skills are divine skills, which are also amplified by the S+ talent, Protection of the Holy Angel!”

“Hiss, so this is Zhou Yi’s true strength!”

“……”

At this moment.

All the teachers and students in the audience were stunned by the various lights emanating from Zhou Yi on the screen.

Based on his previous performances, everyone believed Zhou Yi was a pure violence-oriented Saint Knight.

Yet, in the final BOSS battle, Zhou Yi had pulled out five or six support enhancement skills.

How could that not be shocking?

Amidst their astonishment, many teachers and students also felt deeply moved.

So this was Zhou Yi’s true strength!!
