Chapter 789 A Quick Way to Chop Down the Demon Tree
"Seiya's calling truly lives up to his reputation as a 'Holy Knight.' Besides possessing such exceptional swordsmanship talent, he's even managed to open the Stasia Window of Gigas Cedar!"

Hearing Eugeo's praise, Alice proudly puffed out her chest and showed an expression of pride that said, "This is my little brother."

The Stiar Window is where divine writings record the remnants of destiny. Anyone with sufficient divine power can invoke this window by tapping the object after the inscription is completed.

However, most people can only name the "windows" of stones and plants, and it is extremely difficult to name the windows of animals.

Even summoning the "Window of Stia" from humans requires initial training and mastery of sacred magic.

Alice's calling is to be a nun, and she has recently been learning some basic sacred magic.

So far, she can only summon some animals and inanimate objects through the "Stia's Window".

Although Gigas Cida is a type of plant, as the "Demon Tree," its level is quite high, and not just anyone can easily summon its windows.

However, Seiya, who had not studied sacred arts much, not only did it, but did it quite easily.

However, while the group of friends present were somewhat surprised that Seiya was able to do this, they weren't extremely astonished.

After all, Seiya had been a well-known genius in their Luster Village since he was a child.

When he awakened to the calling of the "Holy Knight," the entire village of Luster regarded him as their hope.

The so-called "Paladin" vocation is an even rarer and superior vocation than that of "Swordsman" and "Knight".

Those who possess this divine calling not only have exceptional talent in swordsmanship, but also possess strong divine power and divine magic talent.

This is why Alice's father, Casford, treated Seiya, whom he had adopted, as his own son and was always proud that Seiya was his child.

Seiya is the last survivor of the End Mountain Range, and many villagers in Lulit Village knew about this back then.

Casford also worried that Seiya's real family might come looking for him in the future, or that Seiya might learn about his true identity and leave the village.

In order to avoid losing this excellent "son", Casfer even thought that when Seiya and the others came of age, he would have Alice or Seruka marry Seiya as his wife.

After all, they were not related by blood. Once they became husband and wife, regardless of whether Seiya discovered his true parentage in the future, he would be Seiya's real father.

Of course, all of this is beside the point right now. When Seiya opened the Stia Window of Gigas Cedar, several curious heads peeked out from behind him.

When Kirito and Eugeo saw the terrifying seven-figure Destiny Value of Kirito, they were completely dumbfounded.

The "fate" of this world is similar to the durability of an object; once the fate is exhausted, the object will shatter and disappear from this world.

As a demon tree, Gigas Cedar possesses an almost hopeless Fate value, and as a plant, it also recovers a certain amount of Fate every day due to its growth.

With Kirito and Eugeo wielding the Dragon Bone Axe, each swing of the axe would at most deplete one point of Kirito's Destiny.

And the two of them, exhausted from swinging their axes every day, could at most manage a few hundred chops.

"Don't just focus on the Destiny Value data, look at this priority value. The priority of the main trunk of the Kigas Cida tree is around level 38, while the Dragon Bone Axe in your hands is only around level 15."

Hearing Seiya's words, Eugeo and Alice still looked puzzled, not understanding what Seiya meant.

On the contrary, Kirito, who was quick-witted, immediately grasped the key point and said, "Seiya, do you mean that if you have an axe or weapon with higher priority, you can consume more of its Fate Points every time you strike the main trunk of the Gigas Cedar?"

"That's my idea, but we'll have to verify it to confirm the specifics."

As Seiya spoke, he slowly drew the sword from his waist and opened the Window of Stia again, saying, "This longsword was a gift from my father, who commissioned the best blacksmith in town to forge it for me after I awakened my calling."

Its priority level is 20, which is significantly higher than the Dragonbone Axe. If my thinking is correct, then this strike should consume more of Kijasceda's Destiny Points.

To give Seiya room to maneuver, the others quickly stepped aside.

When Seiya, wielding the sword with both hands, unleashed a powerful slash as if guided by his very soul, directly striking the trunk of the Gigas Cedar tree, the sharp blade left a shallow mark on the trunk.

The moment the sword clashed with the Kirasu Cedar, Seiya's first sensation was its hardness!
As expected of the "Demon Tree," Kijasceda's sword strike made Seiya feel like he was chopping steel, not a tree.

The extremely hard trunk generated a recoil force that even made Seiya feel a tingling sensation in the tiger's mouth where he gripped the sword.

When Seiya opened the Window of Stasia to check the status of the longsword in his hand, he discovered that just that one strike had caused his masterpiece, crafted by the town's best blacksmith, to lose one-fifth of its Destiny Value.

In other words, if five more strikes of the same power were delivered, he didn't know if Gigas Sida would be alright, but the steel longsword in his hand would definitely be ruined.

"How did it go? How many Fate Points did Kigas Sida lose just now?"

After checking the condition of the longsword, Seiya opened the window to Gigas Cedar Stasia, while Kirito and the others, equally excited and curious, leaned in to look.

"That attack just now actually reduced Kigas Sida's Fate Value by several hundred points!"
Keep in mind that we just used the Dragonbone Axe, and with one effective axe strike, we only lost a little bit of Fate Points!

"Seiya, your idea was indeed correct! If that's the case, as long as we use better weapons to cut down trees, we can quickly deplete Gigasceda's destiny, and changing his calling within his lifetime isn't impossible!"

After Seiya's conjecture was confirmed to be correct, the most excited people were undoubtedly Kirito and Eugeo.

After all, if given a choice, who would want to be a tree cutter?

Once Kijas Sida falls, they will not only no longer have to cut down trees, but they will also be free to choose their preferred calling.

"The previous guess was correct, but a new problem has arisen: where are you going to find a weapon with a higher priority than the Dragonbone Axe?"

My sword strike just now consumed one-fifth of my Destiny Points.

The Dragonbone Axe was able to fight Gigascidar to the death entirely because its Fate stat was also quite high.
