Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 559: Settlement! [The Devourer Reborn from Death]

The "Devourer Dragon" Fafnir Ramshanks has been completely sealed.

This holy war to purify blasphemy ended with the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine, who completely brought down the Level V authority, the [Pillar of Scourge], and completely suppressed and sealed the Devouring Dragon.

The "wound" torn by the Devouring Dragon - the part that was not suppressed by the Pillar of Scourge - the abyss beasts and demons that emerged from it, temporarily fell into chaos and stagnation because they lost the control of the Devouring Dragon.

"..."

And the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine, when she finally completed the last step of sealing the [Pillar of Wrath], seemed to have lost all her power.

The holy flame burning on her body had gone out, and the light emanating from her outline had also become dim.

Her spirituality was also exhausted - and then she stumbled and fell from the thorny mountain on which she stood.

The "Saint" Franya also lost consciousness the moment the battle ended due to exhaustion of her spiritual energy.

She also fell into a coma due to spiritual exhaustion and backlash at the moment when the duration of [Unforgiven Holy Manifestation] ended.

That fragile body fell gently from the sky like a feather, like a bird with broken wings.

But the four-winged angel she contracted, Archangel Azphiel, quickly caught her. And the angels summoned by Luo Xiu also caught the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine on the other side.

The angels did not let Franya and Monine actually fall to the ground, but instead flew them to the edge of the scar and settled them there.

They will no longer need to participate in the next battle.

The remaining abyssal beasts and demons of "Scar" were cleared out by "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx, "Archbishop" Luo Xiu, "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild and several other Sun Knights and Radiant Knights.

That won't take too long.

Meanwhile, within the city of Fafnir, the stationed "Golden Sword Saint" Klein and several Supreme generals, under the guidance of a "God Hunter" Knight of the Templar Order, have completed the blockade of the outer reaches of the "Scar".

No abyssal beasts or demons emerging from the "scar" will be able to escape the blockade. After that, it will only be a matter of time before all the threats of disasters in this area are completely eliminated.

……

Half a day later.

By the evening, "The Holy Sword" Monine and "The Saint" Frya, who were exhausted and unconscious in battle, had been taken to Fafnir by "The Golden Sword Saint" Klein, and at Luo Xiu's instruction, a manor house was arranged for them to recuperate.

And around dusk, Luo Xiu, Davild, and the Knights Templar of the "God Hunt" Knights Templar completely cleared out the abyss beasts and demons in the "scar".

Luo Xiu completely sealed the "scar" part with a golden barrier, and then several other Templar Knights repeatedly reinforced the seal of the "Devouring Dragon".

And at the edge of the scar, on a high ground that is suitable for overlooking the panoramic view of the Dragon Skeleton Plain.

Luo Xiu looked down at the plain which was in ruins, filled with scarlet blood, and covered with corpses. He then looked at the "Devourer Dragon" Fafnir Ramshanks who had been completely sealed by the Pillar of Wrath.

He still retains the ferocious look of his last struggle before being completely sealed.

One of his dragon heads was almost completely shattered, while the other one was twisted in anger towards a certain direction, with its bloody mouth wide open. That was the direction he had been in before.

The blood that was gushing out of the numerous holes on his bloody body that looked extremely scary was also "frozen"—

That scene was indeed quite terrifying, but looking at the Devouring Dragon, which had now lost all threat and could no longer offer any resistance, no one could imagine what kind of terrifying power He had once unleashed.

"..."

While looking at the sealing pillar of the "Devouring Dragon", Luo Xiu was also thinking about these things.

The authority inspired by the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine, the Level V authority of [Glory] [Pillar of Scourge], all targets within that entire range will be completely sealed the moment the [Pillar of Scourge] is completely descended.

That was a very overbearing power, and that was also the reason why it could be used as a Level V authority of [Glorious] . Basically, it could be said that in the face of a large-scale melee battlefield, the authority [Pillar of Scourge] held by Monine was a huge deterrent to any saints below the level of "demigods" on either side.

Such a seal cannot be lifted unless Monine is killed, or one's own status reaches "demigod" or even higher and can break out of the seal on his own.

For the "Holy See", saints like Monine, who are at the peak of the "Sevenfold Destiny", are the important support for the Holy See to gain a foothold in such a vast empire.

In the Holy War a hundred years ago, in addition to the far-reaching influence brought by Bishop Alfonso Durant, the Holy See relied on these peak seven-fold saints to compete with the entire Holy Tower Kingdom.

Luo Xiu thought about these things divergently.

He was still staring at the pillar that sealed the Devouring Dragon, knowing that it was impossible for the Devouring Dragon Fafnir Ramshanks to break the seal of the Pillar of Scourge with his own strength.

Although before that - at the moment when the [Pillar of Scourge] completely descended, Fafnir seemed to have done something to himself.

But now I don't feel anything at all, and there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal in the "Status" column of my panel.

Luo Xiu temporarily stopped paying attention to the possible impact that the "Devouring Dragon" might have on himself.

And his attention soon shifted to another place.

That was his "task panel" - two of the tasks, the God-given task of "Divine Revelation" [The Rebirth of the Ancestor], and the limited-time task of "Destruction" difficulty [The Devourer Reborn from the Dead], were already in the "Task Completed" status.

They can be settled now——

While Davild and two other deputy captains of the "God Hunter" Knights Templar were leading the other Knights Templar to deal with the aftermath, Luo Zheng finally had the chance to see what kind of settlement reward he had received this time.

"--mission completed."

Luo Xiu then gave instructions to complete the two tasks.

First is the God-given mission [Rebirth of the Ancestor]——

……

[He is pleased to see that His pious apostles have fulfilled His instructions——]

[Outside Fafnir City——The newly born ancestor is no longer able to stir up the blasphemous tide.]

[There is no disaster outside of Fafnir City——]

[The devoured resurrection will eventually dissipate, the newly broken scars have been healed, and the undercurrent has receded! ]

[The city that was about to be destroyed was redeemed, and the end of its destruction was once again far away. ]

[The Devouring Ancestor has met his second demise. ]

[As the 'Holy Winged Envoy', you fulfilled your oath and silenced the Devouring Ancestor once again.]

[A divine gift commensurate with your achievements will be bestowed in a moment]

【…】

[Completed the God-given mission: The Rebirth of the Ancestor (?? Difficulty)]

[Receive a divine gift in a moment! ]

[Your "divinity" attribute increases by 418 points; the upper limit of health and mana increases by an additional 25%; you gain 172 free attribute points] [Successfully complete the "Divine Revelation"]

[Feat: "God-given (Legend, Milestone)" - Feat Upgrade]

[The one who has received the gift from God (legend, milestone): You are the one who has received the true gift from God, and the pillar god of your destiny has paid close attention to you - you have been blessed with the "glow" given by Him. ]

[Your "Health", "Mana", "Physical Attack", "Spell Attack", and "Defense Reduction" attribute values ​​are all increased by an additional 30%. This increase is bound to "Divine Glory Oracle·Momentary God's Blessing". As the number of "Divine Glory Oracles" completed increases, this specialty has a chance to be upgraded to "God's Birth" quality. ]

【…】

——This time the "Divine Revelation" mission was successfully completed!
Luo Xiu was quite surprised as he scanned the contents refreshed on the panel. Monine finally used the [Pillar of Rebuke] to truly and thoroughly seal the Devouring Dragon. In Dayi Xuyou's opinion, this might have perfectly resolved the threat of the "Devouring Dragon".

Although the result still did not actually kill Him - for the natives of the current "Apocalypse World", being able to seal the "True Name Devil" might already be the perfect result.

And Luo Xiu was also guessing that perhaps if he could reveal the true name of the "Devouring Dragon" Fafnir Ramshanks and then kill him, he would be able to get more "Divine Revelation" rewards, and even this milestone expertise of "Bestowed by God" might be directly upgraded to the "God's Birth" quality expertise.

But Luo Xiu was already quite satisfied with the rewards he had received from the current settlement, so he confirmed the results of the panel settlement.

A flash of light and shadow floated in the panel, and the results of the previous calculation appeared in the character panel. Luo Xiu did feel that the spirituality flowing in his body seemed to be throbbing because of this, and the "Divine Glory Oracle" could free up a precious time.

Next, the second settlement is carried out——

Luo Xiu rubbed his hands, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

He will carry out the most important settlement item here - the "annihilation" difficulty task, the reward settlement of [The Devourer Who Died and Reborn]!

"--mission completed."

Luo Xiu once again gave the panel clear settlement instructions.

The light and shadow that had just slowly faded and dissipated reappeared after Luo Xiu gave the instructions for the settlement, and condensed the content after the settlement.

[Completed the limited-time mission: The Devourer Reborn from Death (Destruction Difficulty)]

[You, together with Saint Franya of the Holy Court of Glory, and the Knights Templar of the Knights Templar of the Divine Hunt, completed the crusade against the Devouring Dragon.

You pacified the blasphemous turbid light, preventing the purgatory scene from sinking into the human world. As the saint of [Glory] and the agent of the will of the sun, you once again protected the holiness of the glory. 】

[Main mission objective: Kill or seal the "Devourer Dragon" Fafnir Ramshanks (completed)]

[Secondary mission objective: Kill or seal the follower of the "Devourer Dragon" - "Silver Blood Dragon" Hogmoth (completed)]

[The task is being settled...]

[Main completion rewards: Basic experience +3600000, free attribute points +180, 'God's Birth' quality specialty "The End of Destruction - Fafnir (Limited)" *1, 'God's Birth' quality specialty "The Last King Who Devours (Limited)" *1]

[Obtain additional completion rewards: Basic experience +1200000, free attribute points +60, 'Legendary' quality specialty "Hogsmos: Desire of Death (limited)" *1]

【…】

"hiss……"

Luo Xiu glanced at what was displayed on the panel with bright eyes.

Nearly 5 million basic experience points and 240 free attribute points were just the most basic rewards. What Luo Xiu was looking forward to most were the two "God's Birth" quality-limited specialties and one "Legend" quality-limited specialties!
The first thing to be calculated was the "legendary" quality specialty, [Hogsmos: Desire of Death].

[Gained expertise: Hogsmos: Thirst for Death (Legend, Limited)]

[Hogsmos·Desirable Death (Legend·Limited): The true death he longed for has been mercifully granted by you.

He was once a lucky dragon. Your "Luck" attribute increases by 112 points. When a weakness is breached or a critical attack is triggered, the extra damage gained from the "Luck" attribute increases by 50%.

Hogsmos's good fortune will bring you protection and blessings - if you fail to make the same probability determination for 9 consecutive times, the probability will double to twice the original probability. After 19 consecutive determination failures, it will double again, and so on, until it is reset after a successful determination. 】

【…】

Fuck, big guarantee!
This was the first time that Luo Xiu had seen an advanced specialty that was strongly positively correlated with the "luck" attribute.

In God's Destiny, from the player's perspective, the "luck" attribute is indeed related to critical hits, that is, "critical attacks." However, from the perspective of the real world, Luo Xiu rarely seems to feel the improvement in this aspect.

For example, when he attacks and hits the enemy's weakness, he actually basically relies on the feel of his hands.

However, "Luck" does add extra damage to the weak point attack, but compared to the bulk of the damage, it seems a bit insignificant.

However, the "big guarantee" mechanism provided by "Hogsmos's Good Luck" is quite good, so that when you perform engraving and create your own skills in the future, you will have a bottom-line guarantee!

Luo Xiu was thinking about this.

He then proceeded to the subsequent settlement -

[Obtained expertise: The End of Destruction - Fafnir (God's Birthday, Limited)! ]

[The End of Destruction·Fafnir (God’s Birthday, Limited): The tyrannical king named “Destruction” has now met his destined end.

Your "Strength" attribute increases by 360 points, and your "Physical Attack" value increases by an additional 50%.

All the damage you cause based on the "Physical Attack" attribute value will be increased by 50% for some damage, and you will have at least 30% penetration of all attribute resistances of the target; the damage you can cause to shields will be increased by 100%, and when the target is more than 10 levels lower than you, the damage caused to shields will be increased by an additional 100%. 】

【…】

This is an obvious shield-cutting expertise that allows the target's shield to be broken quickly, thus achieving a quick kill effect.

It's also a very powerful specialty.

Luo Xiu then began to look forward to the final settlement of the "God's Birthday" limited specialization.

[Obtain expertise: The Last King Who Devours (God’s Birthday, Limited)]!
[The Last King of Devouring (God’s Birthday, Limited): The creeping shadow of the Devouring King is cast, and even though He is dead, His fear still follows.

Your "Strength" attribute increases by 162 points, and your "Constitution" and "Resistance" attributes increase by 128 points.

Even if the Devouring King is broken, His power is still surging. Your Level II Authority Slot +3, Level III Authority Slot +2, Level IV Authority Slot +1.

The broken power of the Devouring King, the remnant of which is revealed - when you become the target of an attack, the attacker's "strength", "physique", "agility" and "resistance" attributes will gradually decrease, up to 50% of the basic attribute values. The greater the level gap with you, the faster it will decrease.

And its lost attributes will be swallowed by you and transformed into yours throughout the entire battle.

Your "Strength", "Constitution", "Agility" and "Resistance" attributes will increase as the attributes of all devoured targets decrease, up to a maximum of twice your original attribute values.

When the target dies, or the target moves a certain distance away from you, the attribute enhancement gained from this feat will slowly and gradually disappear, and eventually return to normal values ​​within 3 days.
