Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 494 Settlement, [Disaster of Quesanx]!
In front of Luo Xiu, his panel was filled with light and shadows.
After he gave the "settlement" command, new content soon emerged:

[Completed the limited-time mission: The Scourge of Quesanx (difficulty of destruction)]

【…】

"..."

This was the first time that Luo Xiu successfully completed a "robbery and destruction" difficulty task.

The rewards for completing the mission include nearly two million basic experience points and nearly two hundred free attribute points, as well as one "God's Birth", two "Legends", two "Epics" and one "Rare" quality specialty!
——Six specialties in total!

This was the first time that Luo Xiu had received such a generous reward from the reward settlement of a task.

Luo Xiu rubbed his hands excitedly, and after performing the necessary sacrifices once again, he began to calculate the "rare" specialties one by one.

[Obtained expertise: Dragon Chaser (rare)! ]

[Dragon Chaser (Rare): You banish the evil dragon to the wilderness. It will come back again, and you will wait with the dragon-slaying sword in hand—

Your "Strength" attribute +6, "Resistance" attribute +6, and "Physical Attack" is increased by an additional 10%.

You are stained with dragon blood, and the damage you cause to "Warcraft" increases by 10%, and the damage you cause to "Dragon" or "Dragonborn" races increases by an additional 10%. 】

【…】

[Gained expertise: Dragon Slayer (Epic)! ]

[Dragon Slayer (Epic): You witnessed the slaying of a dragon, it has turned to dust, and a new evil dragon will emerge from its blood.

Your "Strength" attribute +18, "Constitution" attribute +18, "Resistance" attribute +18, and "Physical Attack" is increased by an additional 20%.

You are stained with dragon blood, and the damage you cause to "Warcraft" increases by 15%, and the damage you cause to "Dragon" or "Dragonborn" races increases by an additional 15%. 】

【…】

These are the two specialties you will get after resolving [Disaster of Quesanx]!
For the "rare" and "epic" quality specializations, the improvement can be said to be quite considerable. Luo Xiu then confirmed the settlement result with satisfaction, and then began the subsequent settlement.

There is also one "Epic", two "Legendary" and one "Divine" quality specializations!
[Adapting to the generation of "epic" quality expertise...]

[Generated "Epic" quality expertise]

[Gained expertise: Blesser of the Holy Word (Epic)! ]

[Blesser of the Holy Word (Epic): You maintain holy silence until prayer brings divine light.]

[Your "divinity" attribute increases by 54 points. Your "spell attack" gains an additional calculation base of 3 times the value of "divinity".]

[Silence is silent mercy. When you complete a prayer of the skill [Glorious], 1 layer of "Holy Word" will be added, which lasts for 1 seconds, up to a maximum of 12 layers.

For every layer of "Holy Word", the "Holy Light" attribute damage you cause increases by 1%. After 6 layers of "Holy Word" are stacked, all "Holy Word" layers will be consumed at once, entering the "Holy Prayer" state, increasing the "Holy Light" attribute damage by 5%, and increasing the damage of the next skill [Glorious] used by 30%, which lasts for 100 seconds. 】

【…】

——【Blesser of the Holy Word】, a good "epic" quality specialty!
The first is the conversion of the "divinity" attribute to spell attack, which is undoubtedly a huge improvement for oneself. Then there is the mechanism of "Holy Word" and "Holy Prayer" - it can basically be regarded as a permanent 30% "Holy Light" attribute damage increase, and a [Glory] skill damage is increased by 100%, which can deal a very explosive damage.

Luo Xiu was thinking about all this, and at this moment, he was in a very happy mood, so he confirmed the result of the settlement with satisfaction.

Next, it’s time to settle the destiny to adapt to the “Legendary” quality expertise!

[Adapting to the "Legendary" quality expertise generation...]

[Generated "Legendary" quality expertise]

[Obtained expertise: Godly Aspect of the Blazing Sun (Legend)! ]

[The Divine Aspect of the Blazing Sun (Legend): You will throw yourself into the Blazing Sun until you are refined into His satisfactory Aspect.]

[Your "divinity" attribute +48, ​​"physique" attribute +36, your "life value" gains an additional calculation base of 10 times the "divinity" attribute. ]

[When you restore mana, you also restore health at 60% of the amount restored; when you restore health, you also restore mana at 60% of the amount restored. (The health and mana restored passively by this feat will not trigger the restoration effect again)]

【…】

Luo Xiu’s eyes lit up. What a huge explosion!

——After completing the settlement, I gained the "Legendary" quality expertise and obtained [Divine Aspect of the Blazing Sun]!
When he saw such a specialty refreshed on the panel, Luo Xiu felt even happier.

The feat of [Divine Aspect of the Blazing Sun] will undoubtedly greatly increase his ability to sustain continuous combat.

Luo Xiu thought to himself that he had many specialties like the "Pure White Crown" that had the effect of restoring "health points" and "mana points", and after possessing the [Divine Appearance of the Fiery Sun], it was equivalent to raising this type of recovery effect by more than half.

He became stronger and more durable - this was a huge improvement, which meant that he would be able to face higher-risk scenarios more safely in the future, and his own safety would be more adequately guaranteed.

Then, Luo Xiu rubbed his hands and began to settle the last item suitable for the "Legend" quality expertise.

[Adapting to the "Legendary" quality expertise generation...]

[Acquire the expertise "Radiant Hand (Legendary)"]!
[You already have: Radiant Hand (Legendary)]

[Radiant Hand (Legend)——Expertise upgraded! ]

[The Hand of the Radiant (Legend): You will ascend to the heavens - you will ride on the chariot of the sun and hold the whip of the chariot.]

[Your "divinity" attribute value +48, ​​"perception" attribute value +27. When you use a skill, you gain 75% of the "holy light" attribute "sky shield" consumed by mana.

During the existence of "Sky Shield", the damage you cause is increased by 35%, the damage you receive is reduced by 35%, and you are immune to negative control effects. 30 seconds after the skill is released, "Sky Shield" disappears, and the lost health is restored at 150% of the remaining shield value. 】

【…】

The result of the last adaptation of the "Legendary" quality expertise was that I already had the expertise [Radiant Hand]. The expertise upgrade increased its attributes and effects by about half.

Although no new "legendary" feats were calculated, [Radiant Hand] was still a very powerful and commonly used feat. Luo Xiu then confirmed the result of the calculation and then closed the calculation panel for this feat. Then, it was the finale of this calculation of [Quesanx's Disaster] -

Luo Xiu's eyes have fallen on the "God's Birthday" quality specialty, "Echo of Sighs - Quesanx (God's Birthday, Limited)".

This will be the first "God's Birthday" feat he will obtain since he traveled through time!
At this moment, even Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

In his previous life, he did not know the specific effect of this limited expertise, because no player had ever obtained it.

Now, Luo Xiu could almost hear his own heartbeat. He felt nervous - a nervousness mixed with excitement.

But this hesitation and wavering caused by nervousness did not last too long. Luo Xiu then put his palms together again, piously performed the final "sacrifice", and then gave the panel instructions for the final settlement!

[Gained expertise: Echo of Sighs - Quesanx (God's Birthday, limited)! ]

[Echo of Sighs·Quesanx (God’s Birthday, Limited): The ignorant ancient dragon has turned to dust. You listen to his echoes and receive his gifts from them.

Your overall attributes increase by 80 points, "Strength" and "Constitution" attributes increase by an additional 80 points, your "Health", "Mana", "Physical Attack" and "Spell Attack" values ​​increase by an additional 20%.

Quishanks's Fortitude - Your "Resistance" attribute is increased by 1.2 times.

Fury of Quesanx - The "Fire" attribute damage you cause increases by 50%. For every 30% of your upper limit health lost, "Physical Attack" and "Spell Attack" increase by an additional 20%, and the total damage caused increases by an additional 20%, with the upper limit increased to 50%.

Authority of Quesanx - The damage you deal to enemies of all fates is increased by 20%, and the damage you deal to enemies of the [Supreme] fate is increased by an additional 20%. This damage increase is independent of all multiplication zones.

【…】

"..."

……

Fafnir City.

At this time, Luo Xiu had returned to the city from the sky above the Dragon Skeleton Plain outside the city on a golden Pegasus and had arrived at the church's headquarters.

On his way back, he couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking about the "God's Birthday" quality feat he had just obtained.

[Echo of Sighs·Quesanx], this limited divine specialty, Luo Xiu thought it was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!
Extremely high improvement in all attributes, extremely high growth in a single attribute - these are just the most basic improvements to this "God's Birth" expertise.

There is also increased "fire" attribute damage, increased dual attack and total damage, and even a single-area full-life damage increase, as well as additional damage to [Supreme] enemies. In Luo Xiu's simple understanding, even the "God's Birth" quality expertise is a bit beyond the scope.

Now, Luo Xiu could understand why this "God's Birth" expertise was followed by a "limited" entry... He now only felt that he was terribly strong.

After a battle to defend Fafnir City, he gained a total of eight specialties. After being promoted to the "Sixth Fate", this was the biggest improvement.

Now he felt as if every bit of flesh and blood, and even every cell in his body were cheering... Perhaps if he were to return to the battlefield in the early morning of the previous day and face Fafnir who still possessed the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, he would no longer need to use the ancient dragon's artifact to skip classes.

Luo Xiu is now very confident that with his current strength, he can defeat the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir head-on.

He was thinking about this.

As soon as he arrived at the church, he saw the "Holy Deacon" Hubert, who was waiting at the entrance of the camp and looked up at him.

Luo Xiu then rode Pegasus down to the ground, then called Pegasus back and walked towards Hubert.

This was the first time he had seen the Holy Deacon since returning from Songyuan City.

Although Hubert seemed to be covered in dust and blood, he was in good condition—he had recovered from the weakness caused by the "Nightmare Witch" taking his soul away. He had participated in the battle the night before and seemed to have helped another general kill an "executioner".

Seeing Hubert, Luo Xiu was still very happy. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Hubert and greeted him:

"Long time no see, Hubert."

"Long time no see you either." Hubert responded with a smile.

While responding to the greeting, Hubert was also looking Luo Xiu up and down.

It was not until he came face to face with Luo Xiu that Hubert truly felt that the aura emanating from the "bishop" in front of him was indeed fundamentally different from before.

That was a spiritual surge that was purer, richer, and closer to the origin of [Glory]. Hubert nodded slowly, with an undisguised expression of envy on his face, and said:
"You did it, Luo Xiu."

"I can sense that you have indeed...successfully advanced to the 'Sixth Fate'."

"You were successfully promoted. The Holy Court should have invited you, but you returned here again."

"What are your plans for the future, Luo Xiu?"

"..."

"I will continue on my holy journey until I completely wipe out this sinful country."

Luo Xiu said in a light but firm voice:

"Although the Holy See has granted me the scepter and crown of the 'Diocesan Bishop', I have not yet been assigned a diocese. Before the next official notice from the Holy See is issued, I will still be the bishop of the 'Red Maple City Church'. My identity is not much different from before."

"So, we will still walk together for a while, Hubert. May the Holy Light bless you and me, and witness our mutual encouragement."

"I understand." Huber nodded.

He probably understood what Luo Xiu meant. Just like he had refused to go to Songyuan City to join the "Bishops' Conference", Luo Xiu should have also refused the invitation from the "Pope". This was a pity for Luo Xiu to give up the most convenient and fastest way to promotion...

Hubert was thinking all these things at the same time.

While he was thinking about this, he heard a series of horse hoof sounds coming from the end of the main road beside him.

Luo Xiu and Hubert looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from at the same time.

They are "Thunder General" Albert, "Winter General" Lansas, and "Lionheart General" Pampas, the three Supreme Generals.

And behind them, there followed another Supreme Saint.

That was the "Grand Judge" - Luo Xiu recognized him.

——That was Lord Gawain’s “clerk” and “chief judge” Lucien.

Albert, Lansas, Pampas, and "Grand Inquisitor" Lucien soon rode their horses to Rossouw and Hubert.

They then dismounted, and Albert, Lansas and Pampas' eyes fell on Luo Xiu at the same time, with different lights flashing in their eyes, revealing that they had different thoughts in their hearts.

Albert's "stare" was the most exaggerated, as if he wanted to see through Luo Xiu with his eyes. He had too many questions he wanted to ask Luo Xiu directly and too many doubts he wanted to get answers from Luo Xiu.

But he did not directly ask Luo Xiu the question he had wanted to ask for a long time, "How did you advance to the sixth level of destiny?" Instead, he straightened his posture under the gaze of "Grand Judge" Lucien, and said to Hubert and Luo Xiu officially and formally:

"The bishop of the church, Monsignor Rossouw, and the holy deacon, Monsignor Hubert."

"We are here to inform you and invite you in the name of the Round Table. Now, please follow us immediately to the east gate of Fafnir City."

"Lord Gawain Bakar and the expeditionary force led by him have arrived at Fafnir City."

"Please follow us to greet you."
