Divine Seal: God Descends, Holy Priest Riding a Black Dragon

Chapter 55 The Compassionate One - Mercy

"Traitor, step back!!!"

With a solemn expression, Wen Tai let out a roar, and a thick and sacred armor of light condensed in front of his spiritual aperture. The necromantic energy was annihilated before it could even get close to him.

The walls of justice will protect you!
Long Haochen's defensive stance became much more difficult. The terrifying howl was at least three times stronger than last time, and the holy light shield he used in the form of ripples of light collapsed instantly.

Xiao Long had to use the Holy Light Shield continuously for defense, the only drawback being that his spiritual energy was consumed too quickly.

All Wen Tai could do was take a step forward and use his armor of light to share the burden of Long Haochen's pressure.

With the pressure reduced, the two were able to see clearly that the shrieking sound actually came from these clumps of grayish-white souls, the roars of the souls coming together to form the shrieking sound!

When people are in distress, they are surprised to find that time passes so slowly.

Long Haochen felt that this shriek was longer than the previous shrieks combined. When the shriek stopped, the little Long was horrified to find that he had consumed 40% of his spiritual power.

After the shriek completely disappeared, Wen Tai dispelled the barrier of justice in front of him.

Wen Tai looked at Xiao Long: "Hao Chen, are you alright?"

Long Haochen took a deep breath and used the Sacred Guiding Spirit Furnace to restore his spiritual power, saying, "I'm fine, it's just... I'm too shocked."

Anyone who sees this scene will be shocked and horrified!
Wen Tai looked up and saw that the soul energy that had been floating around the cone-shaped cave was once again gathering towards the tower, as if it were storing energy for the tower.

Once the gray-white tower has accumulated enough energy, it will immediately unleash the next fierce roar.

Wen Tai tentatively took two steps forward, and Long Haochen immediately said, "Be careful."

Upon crossing a certain boundary, the grayish-white soul energy suddenly erupted, transforming into a ferocious face that charged towards Wen Tai.

Wen Tai's expression remained unchanged, and a pale energy emanated from his entire body, like a robe of divine light.

He walked forward with a gentle gaze, silently chanting a magic incantation.

【Genesis Septet - Merciful Ones】

The pale holy light manifested into thousands of arms, gently caressing the resentful soul energy; those arms seemed to possess magical power.

The raging, vicious soul was actually soothed; the fierce resentment gradually subsided, as if a child were following behind him.

Wen Tai slowly approached the gray-white tower, his thousands of compassionate arms stroking the faces of the vengeful spirits one by one, as if taking away all their resentment.

He was like a guiding light, showing the spirits who had fallen into darkness a path to rebirth!
Long Haochen was taken aback for a moment, then followed Wen Tai for ten meters.

Wen Tai performed rituals to help the spirits of the dead find peace. After purifying their resentment, they would often leave Wen Tai with a trace of strange power.

This power was hidden deep within Wen Tai's body, and even he himself was unaware of where it had gone.

They weren't facing the front of the tower, and after circling around for over a hundred meters, they finally found the tower's entrance.

The gate resembled a gray-white tombstone, lacking any elaborate carvings or patterns, which indicated that it was not a relic of the ancient elves.

Above the main gate is a thick stone slab with five characters engraved on it.

Although it differs from modern human writing, Wen Tai and Long Haochen could roughly recognize the five characters as "Eternal Sleep".

Although the gate is very ancient, standing in front of it, one is immediately struck by its majestic grandeur, like a towering mountain.

"How do I open this..." Long Haochen hadn't finished speaking.

A pale, energy-filled arm reached out towards the door and gently touched its center.

"Plop—" The door opened without any particular sound, opening very naturally.

However, the moment the door opened, a dense stream of dark gray energy swept in from inside, a very pure dark death energy.

Long Haochen felt a chill run down his spine. If he came into contact with this terrifying power of death, he would have no choice but to die.

"Uriel!!!"

With a call from Wen Tai, a handsome angel entwined in black and crimson appeared in his pupils.

This angel who rules hell is the most extraordinary; His armor is pure black like crystal, and His wings are fiery red like fire.

Faced with the overwhelming power of death, Uriel made no move when the power of death touched him.

The obsidian-like armor seemed to suddenly come to life, biting into the River of Death and absorbing it all at once.

With Uriel's phantom figure providing resistance, Wen Tai strode directly into the mysterious tower.

Long Haochen followed closely behind.

Upon entering the tower's interior, a miraculous scene unfolded: the piercing howls from the outside world abruptly ceased.

The space in front of us is completely gray and white, with the main focus being on the shape of the hall, indicating that humans once lived here.

In the hall, forty-eight enormous pillars supported a ten-zhang-high dome, and all the gray and white colors appeared slightly distorted, to the point that Long Haochen once doubted that there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Welcome to the Eternal Rest."

As Wen Tai was examining the interior space, an aged voice suddenly rang out from inside the tower.

The sounds came from all directions, like pre-installed game patches.

"Being able to enter the Eternal Tower where I slumber proves that you are indeed an excellent necromancer, and your strength should be at least at the sixth rank. Child, you are very lucky to have come to our world of necromancers."

"The Tower of Eternity is the culmination of my wisdom over a thousand years of life. As long as you move forward and pass through countless trials, the moment you finally reach the top, you will completely inherit my mantle, the undead will reappear in the world, and those hypocrites of the Glorious Church will sleep in eternal death."

Wen Tai and Long Haochen looked completely bewildered.

These are indeed the set voice lines. Can't you tell? One is a priest, and the other is a knight. They are both professional traditions left behind by the glorious Holy See.

The voice continued to speak.

"Go forward bravely, my child..."

Who the hell is your child?!

"What you are hearing now is my last message before my eternal slumber. When you leave here, the Eternal Slumber will close because of you and you will be automatically teleported to a separate plane that I have created. Only you, who possess my token, can enter. I am at the top of the tower, waiting for your arrival to receive the legacy of the Necromancer Saint, the Slumbering Scourge, Elex."

After a long narration, the aged voice finally disappeared.

A look of shock appeared on Long Haochen's face: "Wen Tai, this is actually the legacy of a necromancer!"

Wen Tai said calmly, "I heard it."

Necromancer, a forbidden profession in the Holy Demon Continent.

Only the six great temples still have records of necromancers, but they are all just fragments. The profession of necromancer has not appeared for at least tens of thousands of years.
