SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: God Said, Let There Be Light!

TL: YYang

“This is… Divine Descent?! How is this possible?!!”

In the rear, Olimas’s pupils contracted as he watched Zhou Yi, enveloped in divine aura, floating in mid-air.

Divine Descent!

A top-level secret art mastered by high-level divine-class professionals in the human legion.

Once cast, it allows the use of a portion of the power of the deity they worship.

And the power of a deity is vast like a holy sea.

Even borrowing a portion can significantly enhance a professional’s strength!!

In the Holy Realm, he had witnessed a level 58 priest from the human legion release Divine Descent, boosting their strength directly to level 63!!

With one Great Healing spell, almost all members of the human legion were healed!

It was due to this priest who cast Divine Descent that the human legion, already at the end of its rope, managed to hold out for over three more hours under the siege of three legions in the Holy Realm before being completely wiped out!

It was utterly terrifying!

Although the Divine Descent cast by the Saint Knight before him didn’t reach such a terrifying level, the pressure it exerted was already enough to suppress and annihilate the entire Flame Curse Legion, including himself!!

Equally astonished were those outside the Dark Flame Wall magic array, like the Snow Dragon Legion.

“Divine Descent! He still has such a trump card!!”

Xu Yuzhou was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

“This is great! Even if we can’t get in for a while, they won’t die at the hands of the demons!!”

Every provincial top scorer was a future pillar among human professionals.

Not to mention this year’s top scorer from Suhang Province, Zhou Yi, whose talent was truly terrifying!

Just now, the legion’s Mage Department had attempted a magical strike, but it had no effect on the forbidden-level magic array.

In his disappointment, he couldn’t help but sigh.

It seemed this astonishing Saint Knight prodigy was about to fall.

Unexpectedly, the opponent had given him such a huge surprise!!

“Divine Descent has been successfully cast, and it’s quite the spectacle! It seems this provincial top scorer Saint Knight has a very pure faith in the God of Light. At only level 18, he already has such a high level of divine faith; his future is truly limitless!”

Within the Snow Dragon Legion, the level 46 second-transfer priest extended his right hand.

Letting the Holy Light Feathers fall into his palm, feeling the astonishing Holy Light energy they emitted, he couldn’t help but marvel.

Divine Faith.

It was a concrete value in the Eternal Game and a concept that many divine-class professionals had to understand!!

For divine-class professions like priests and Saint Knights, the higher the divine faith, the stronger the divine skills they release!!

Even the second and third transfers for priests and Saint Knights had divine faith requirements.

Back then, countless priests and Saint Knights who reached the level requirements for a second transfer couldn’t meet the divine faith requirement and had to complete daily prayer tasks.

Now, with the fusion of the Eternal Game and reality, the divine faith value had disappeared from the status panel.

But just like before, without sufficient reverence for the deity, divine-class professionals’ skills would only have base damage.

And secret arts like Divine Descent would be out of the question.

Even if cast, the power received from the deity would be minimal!!

Conversely, if the divine faith was high enough, many skills of divine-class professionals would be amplified!!

Judging by the Divine Descent cast by this provincial top scorer, he is undoubtedly a Saint Knight with extremely high divine faith!!

And he’s only level 18…

He truly has a limitless future!!

……

……

The Divine Descent cast by Zhou Yi undoubtedly served as a morale booster for Su Qinglian, Jiang Churan, and the others!!

The continuously falling Holy Light Feathers and the immense divine pressure emanating from Zhou Yi made the entire Flame Curse Legion struggle.

They fell into a state of panic.

“Your Highness, are we just going to watch him complete the Divine Descent ritual? Why don’t we gather all the mages and attempt a long-range magical strike?”

In the rear, the deputy commander demon mage couldn’t hold back and suggested.

Around his tall demon body, a faint black barrier had formed, keeping all the falling Holy Light Feathers at bay.

Each time a feather landed on it, the barrier’s magic dimmed slightly.

This forced him to continuously supply mana to prevent the magical barrier from breaking.

“Once Divine Descent begins, it can’t be interrupted unless attacked by someone with divine power.” Olimas, regaining his composure, shook his head.

At this point, after enduring Zhou Yi’s relentless attacks, he was exhausted, his arrogance gone.

His deep purple eyes were filled with gravity.

“How long until the return teleportation magic array is ready?” Taking a deep breath, he asked in a deep voice.

“About another minute.” The deputy commander demon mage glanced toward the Dark Miasma Valley.

Under the cover of the light pillar from the Dark Flame Wall, a pitch-black magic array was slowly forming there.

Once the magic array was fully constructed, they could return to the Holy Realm through it!!

“The teleportation magic array will be ready in a minute, and the Dark Flame Wall can hold for another three minutes, so we don’t need to worry about threats from the human legion outside just yet. Divine Descent from the Saint Knight should be fully activated in about 30 seconds. Which means, as long as we can hold out for 30 seconds against him, we can complete our return…”

Olimas fixed his gaze on Zhou Yi in mid-air, filled with resentment.

With just one skill, the tables had turned instantly.

They now had to consider how to survive until the return magic array was complete…

“Holding out for 30 seconds might be difficult.” The deputy commander demon mage said heavily.

This Saint Knight was already formidable on his own, and once he borrowed the power of a deity, he could potentially wipe out the entire Flame Curse Legion in just 10 seconds!!

“I know, which is why it’s time for you all to make your sacrifice.” Olimas looked at the deputy commander demon mage, his voice low.

“Sacrifice…” The deputy commander demon mage was momentarily stunned.

Pausing, he quickly understood and solemnly said: “Indeed, at this point, it’s the only way to ensure Your Highness’s return to the Holy Realm. And perhaps even kill this Saint Knight!”

Sacrifice.

It refers to offering everything, including life and soul, to a revered entity!!

It is an innate skill of the demon race.

As the recipient of the sacrifice, that demon’s power will drastically increase for a short period!!

The more numerous and higher the level of the sacrificers, the greater the power increase!!

As the offspring of the most noble Demon Lord and the highest commander of the Flame Curse Legion, Olimas naturally had the privilege of receiving their sacrifice.

“Flame Curse Legion, hear my command!! Sacrifice everything to the noble Olimas immediately!!”

Without hesitation, the deputy commander demon mage began the sacrificial ritual.

An overwhelming fervor emanated from his tall demon body:

“Great Olimas, I, Anigu, offer everything of myself to become a part of your nobility…”

Boom!!!

Flames!!

Endless crimson flames erupted wildly from the chest of the deputy commander demon mage.

His entire body was instantly engulfed in flames!!

The Flame Curse Legion, realizing what was happening, halted their advance.

Their ferocious faces showed a fervent faith.

“Great Olimas, I, Raskin, offer everything of myself to become a part of your nobility…”

“Great Olimas, I, Batak, offer everything of myself to become a part of your nobility…”

“……”

Instantly, the entire plain echoed with deep, mysterious demonic chants.

Boom! Boom! Boom!……

Crimson flames shot into the sky one after another, and as the flames raged, pure purple-black demonic energy converged on Olimas.

This rapidly healed his wounds, and his aura grew even more formidable!!

“This is the demon race’s sacrifice skill!!”

“The legion of over 300 Flame Demons is sacrificing themselves… Can Zhou Yi withstand it?”

“……”

Zhou Yi’s aura continued to rise.

But seeing the opposing legendary Flame Demon also gaining momentum, Su Qinglian and others couldn’t help but worry for Zhou Yi.

……

Unaware of the outside world, Zhou Yi felt as if he were turning into a point of light, drifting upwards into the sky.

He didn’t know how long this lasted.

Suddenly, a magnificent figure appeared before his eyes.

It was a female figure formed of Holy Light, her features indistinct.

Yet her graceful form seemed to embody all that was beautiful in women, utterly pure.

“Hmm? Such a weak soul, yet it has come here.”

The figure seemed somewhat surprised.

“However, the faith you bear is remarkably strong. In that case, Saint Knight, I grant you the power of the divine!”

Boom!

A vast, ethereal voice resounded, and an incredibly pure power surged into his body.

Simultaneously, in the real world,

Zhou Yi, enveloped by the immense golden pillar of Holy Light, suddenly opened his eyes!

His eyes turned a divine golden hue, his entire body glowing with radiant Holy Light.

Like a deity, a powerful and immense divine pressure spread forth.

Facing him, Olimas, having received the sacrifice from all Flame Curse Legion members, reached the peak of his aura.

The terrifying purple-black demonic energy seemed to cast a shadow over the entire sky.

Zhou Yi’s indifferent gaze swept over, his lips moved slightly:

“God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Boom!!!

At the moment those emotionless words were spoken, a blinding Holy Light exploded outward from him as the center!!!
