My bloodline is so eager to improve.

However, Otto asked Tessa with some curiosity.

Under what circumstances would a deity bestow an incomplete, extraordinary profession upon a mortal?

Otto thought that the level of the fire seed was only five, but normal priests could break through to the sixth level, which was definitely not normal!

Seeing that there was a priest right beside him, Otto immediately asked him about it.

"Generally speaking, one can sense whether one's extraordinary profession is fulfilling during one's spiritual practice."

As for a profession that is inherently incomplete, if this is the will of the gods, then it must be a sign that the gods do not intend to bind you.

As Tessa explained, Otto gradually came to understand.

Occasionally, the gods do bestow upon people on earth extraordinary professions, such as the Fire Seed. The trials they undergo are often relatively simple, and they do not need to formally join a church or temple, which can be considered a manifestation of freedom.

With Tessa's explanation, Otto realized something was amiss.

"Whether it's the extraordinary profession of the Fire Seed or the Light Seed bestowed by the Goddess later, that deity seems to really want me to accept this gift, probably hoping that I will do something?"

Otto, on the other hand, quite liked this kind of transaction where payment was made before work was done.

As an adventurer, having already received the money, he would naturally put in the effort. Of course, Otto would not do anything that was clearly a suicide mission.

While Otto and Tessa were chatting, the black sheep started causing trouble again.

[Black Sheep noticed that Tessa was carrying an ancient relic that excelled at defense, capable of activating a radiant aura around her to resist powerful magical and physical attacks!]

The black sheep thought this thing was a real nuisance.

[Black Sheep thinks, "Wouldn't that mean you couldn't force yourself on this sunny afternoon, tear off her clothes, and greedily inhale her scent for a spontaneous picnic?"]

The black sheep felt sorry for its human friend and also hated the god who gave this ancient artifact to the girl!

The black sheep has extended an invitation to you, believing that one day you will join it in performing a blasphemy. In return, it will give you all the female priests under the gods. Of course, male priests are also acceptable if it is your wish.

[The black sheep loudly proclaimed, "We're going to have a naked feast in front of the idol!"]

"Where's the Moonlit Spirit Hound? Help!"

Otto felt that the Black Sheep seemed to be getting more and more insane after getting closer to the real priest.

He couldn't believe how terrible it would be if the Black Sheep Sheep turned into a fantasy species!

Fortunately, only Otto could see the black sheep's antics, which prevented Tessa from noticing anything amiss.

As the two continued their journey, the last ray of golden light at dusk was gradually swallowed by darkness, and they arrived at a main road in the suburbs.

The eerily quiet surroundings only amplified the black sheep's incredible commotion.

But at that very moment, the eagle seemed to sense something.

The eagle sensed something amiss; a powerful impact was brewing, covering a wide area!

Seeing this, Otto didn't waste any words and pounced on Tessa beside him.

This made Tessa a little flustered. What did the other person want to do?

Black Sheep, on the other hand, was extremely excited.

[The black sheep believes you finally understand its aesthetics.]

[The black sheep excitedly declared, "A dark and windy night is the perfect time to enjoy yourself! I'll keep an eye on your animal friends for you!"]

But just as the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic, a fiery red light in the sky rapidly expanded and finally crashed straight into Tessa and Otto!

When the meteorite struck, all living beings perished in its wake!

But just after the sudden impact dissipated, Otto pushed the meteorite, which was a full meter in diameter, away.

At this moment, Otto and Tessa were radiating a dazzling light, as if it was this light protecting them.

"Did you sense the attack before you rushed over?"

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you.

Tessa blushed, her fair skin now resembling a ripe apple.

But Otto couldn't tell the truth, since he just wanted to get his hands on Tessa's ancient artifacts.

To prevent Tessa from noticing anything amiss, Otto quickly pulled her out of the pit.

Tessa, however, noticed something amiss when she looked at the meteorite.

"A meteorite with a diameter of one meter?"

It's probably a meteorite strike from the Third Ring.

Tessa reminded Otto to prepare for a counterattack while explaining.

"Meteorite spells are commonly used by mages."

It's said that someone in the Mage's Association has mastered the Meteorite Spell to the ninth level, summoning a sky full of shooting stars.

Tessa's knowledge far surpassed Otto's, and when explaining the knowledge about meteorite magic, she also mentioned the spell's flaws.

"The meteorite spell requires a long chant to activate."

We must find the attackers as soon as possible to prevent them from using the meteorite spell again!

At that moment, Otto made a decision immediately after learning about the spell.

He immediately activated his spiritual eye and assumed a defensive stance.

His oak shield in his left hand was already in front of the two men, and his right hand drew the iron sword that had been hanging at his waist.

He even activated Shadowless Steps and cautiously probed his surroundings.

Something's not right.

Just then, Otto suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A white and red mist shone deep within his pupils.

In his field of vision, the bushes thirty paces ahead were no longer the usual dark green, but were simultaneously swirling with a pale white and scarlet mist, like a crouching giant beast opening its blood-red maw!

Otto remembered that the white fog represented the extraordinary power of the Path of Order, while the scarlet fog represented danger.

The attackers were clearly there.

“At least seven people were hiding in the rocks and trees on both sides, and there were also people in the bushes.”

As Otto whispered, Tessa immediately moved to stand beside him.

When she placed her hand on her waist, she actually took out an iron hammer from her pocket!

As Tessa's fingertips swept across the hammer, a thin, translucent light shield formed around the two of them.

"This is the Shield of Law, which can block one attack for you and me. It can only be applied once in a short period of time, and the duration is not long. Be careful."

Although Tessa's Shield of Law does not require complex chanting, it does require Tessa's precise operation, so the two of them still cannot be careless.

But before Tessa could finish speaking, three iron arrows came flying through the air with a sharp whoosh, aiming straight for their faces!

[The black cat warns you to be careful; that iron arrow is poisoned!]

With the black cat's help, Otto's Iron Wall Breathing technique suddenly became as solid as steel, and he used his oak shield to block the iron arrows.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Girl with Super Strength

Three crisp sounds were heard as the iron arrows pierced only a little into the oak shield before they could not penetrate any further!

After seeing the iron arrows blocked, roars came from afar.

"Charge! Buy Tristan time!"

Five attackers wielding machetes and spiked clubs emerged from the bushes and treetops.

Their roars shook the grass and trees.

The attacker at the front, his face covered in scars, wielded a spiked club as thick as a bowl and hurled it at Otto's head with a gust of wind.

But Otto neither dodged nor avoided; instead, he slammed his left foot into the ground, sending the oak shield hurtling forward.

Blackhorn Ram is activated!

With a loud thud, the shield struck Scarface squarely in the chest.

At that moment, the poor attacker was like someone struck by a charging sheep; his eyes rolled back instantly, he coughed up blood, flew backward, twitched twice on the ground, and then died.

Otto, taking advantage of this momentum, raised his hand and unleashed a blunt strike, smashing it at the two attackers at the front.

The power of the shield bash momentarily slowed their movements.

Seizing the opportunity, Otto suddenly began practicing the Azure Moon Breathing Technique.

The Moonlit Spirit Dog resonated with Otto.

A cold, moonlit sword flashed past, and blood spurted from the throats of both attackers as they collapsed limply to the ground!

But just then, Tessa suddenly reminded her.

"There's still someone in the tree!"

As Tessa reminded Otto, she raised her hand and threw the hammer she was holding.

The hammer shot towards the oak tree in front of him like a flying arrow!

The attacker, who was preparing to throw the hand axe, was immediately knocked down by the hammer.

At this moment, Otto understood why the Law Priests had increased his power.

Although Otto was somewhat surprised by the girl's power, he did not stop there.

Otto slammed his toes into the ground.

Windwing Messenger activated.

His body suddenly became lighter, and with the help of the Windwing Messenger, Otto leaped more than three meters into the air!

The Azure Moon Breathing Technique was activated once more, and the black iron sword drew a perfect arc in the air, slaying the attacker who was in freefall!

And it was at this moment that the black sheep sent a warning almost along with the scarlet fog.

[The black sheep sensed something amiss. The mage lurking in the shadows had altered the flow of magic, likely changing the spell!]

Otto wasn't too surprised.

According to Tessa, the meteorite spell requires a long incantation. Now, more than half of the mage's teammates have been killed or wounded, but less than two or three breaths have passed since the attack. There is no way he will have a chance to summon meteorites again!

With this thought in mind, Otto immediately calmed down and, while dealing with the remaining attackers, searched for the mage's whereabouts.

"We must not let that sorcerer continue casting spells!"

At this moment, Tessa had already leaped to her hammer and staff, unleashing her staff techniques.

As a priest, staff skills are a required part of one's training.

This combat technique is characterized by its wide, sweeping movements, making it ideal for stalling for time and launching counterattacks.

After all, there's no need for overly delicate maneuvering. The heavy hammer, combined with the girl's monstrous strength, could absolutely shatter the bones of any attacker it touched!

Fortunately, the effect of the Light and Spirit Eyes continues.

Otto finally managed to pinpoint the core of that white fog.

After finding his target, he immediately charged toward the rocks and roared!

"Roar!"

The deafening roar created an invisible impact, interrupting the mage's spellcasting!

At that moment, the mage's incantation came to an abrupt halt, and the arrow-shaped ball of magic that had been half-condensed instantly disintegrated, blasting his face into a bloody mess!

At that moment, Otto had descended from the heavens and was standing on the rock.

An attacker wielding a giant axe tried to stand in front of the mage to help him defend against Otto's attack, but Otto was not so easy to fool.

He swung the axe down at Otto, which flashed with a dark red light, but Otto simply raised his oak shield again to block.

By using techniques to deflect force, he cleverly dodged it.

The attacker's expression immediately turned incredulous upon seeing Otto's actions.

But Otto didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.

The Azure Moon Thrust was launched, the sword flashed, so fast that it was impossible to catch!
