Chapter 29 The Road to Strengthening
The Great Sword-Wielder, the Dark Lords, and the Chosen One.
This is probably the limit of the power that the mortal world can carry, and after the ancestors have retreated, they can completely surpass them, only the legendary pre-ancient kings who wield the ultimate power of Prometheus and the blind and foolish will of chaos manifested in the most deteriorating body of mortal dust in the agitation of order- However, the two strongest poles of order and chaos have long since become history with the fall of the Great Wall of Eternal Night, whether it is the king who rules the territory of order, or the legendary beast of chaos manifestation, they have not appeared in front of people for thousands of years, and their power and terror can only be seen from a few rumors circulating in the countryside and a few records of classical literature.
Their strength has long been deified and forgotten by the world.
Even the great sword-wielders, the Dark Secretaries, and the Chosen One, who stand at the pinnacle of the mortal world, rarely appear in public in this era - the Great Sword-wielder and the Dark Secretaries are fine, at least the elite like Amy have more or less heard of their names, but the news about the Chosen One ...... It never seems to have been circulated in circles outside of the Descendants of Glory.
If it weren't for the fact that the title "The Chosen One" is found in many classics, the teenager would even think that the strength of the Chosen One is nothing more than a gimmick deliberately created by the Honorable in order to maintain their dominance.
After allβ
If the Chaos cultists, the Order, and even the demons have the pinnacle of power, as the de facto rulers of the cities scattered in the depths of the night, if the Glory Ones do not have the cutting-edge force to compete with them, it will be like the edifice of power has no foundation to rely on, and the danger of overturning is imminent.
And this is the reason why the Glorious Descendants of Hemtica are so jealous of the Order - not to mention anything else, the presence of three great sword bearers alone is enough for the Order to threaten the rule of the Glorious Ones in Hemtika.
But......
The young Glory Man was not happy about the imminent death of the Order's great sword-bearer.
The first is that his sense of belonging to the Descendants of Glory is not strong, and the second is that the open and secret struggle between the Glory and the Order is only an internal struggle on the side of the order in the final analysis, and both sides have a corresponding tacit understanding in this matter, and the real enemies that need to be guarded against are not each other, but the vast demons under the deepest night, and the Chaos cultists lurking in the city, especially the dark ministers who have become the embodiment of natural disasters.
Alfred alone had brought Amy to the brink of death several times, and now, the presence of this level had grown to three at once...... Worse...... The young man secretly glanced at the old man who was breathing weaker and weaker, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - at this critical moment, the only great sword-wielder who had the ability to confront them head-on, directly reduced one person when he rushed to meet the battle, and the strength and weakness of the order side and the chaos side of Hemtika became unclear in the blink of an eye - even because of the darkness of the enemy, the order side may be at a disadvantage.
It's nerve-wracking.
If you think about it, the reason why the situation has become so dire may be inseparable from him.
On the one hand, there is indeed a plan to kill Ulysses, and on the other hand, it is more important to use this killing to attract the attention of the Glorious and the Order, and to annihilate the living forces on the side of the order by surprise, change the balance of power between the two sides in Hemtika, and occupy a more active position in future disputes. (Note, here is Amy's subjective assumption)
Now it seems that the Chaos Cultists' plan is undoubtedly successful, except for the small flaw of their own luck, all the goals have almost been exceeded, and even the peak combat power of the level of the Great Sword Bearer has fallen by one person, and some of the big people in the upper area have a headache.
No, it's just dying, not dead yet.
His gaze swept over the old man's chest, which was still slightly heaving, and the young Glory Man corrected in his heart.
Every living peak powerhouse is a precious treasure - after thinking about this, he cleared his throat and looked at the old man whose vital signs were gradually weakening without respect: "Your Excellency, Great Sword Wielder, I forgive you for taking the liberty of not resting here for all your deeds. β
"The Lord, who is free of the dead's refuge and all-knowing, all-powerful, has decided that the glory of the world is of no importance in the kingdom of heaven. The old man raised his eyebrows, for his hair had long since fallen out, and this action seemed a bit nondescript to him, "All glorious people are born hypocrites, and no matter how deeply you study the scriptures, you are destined to be unable to cleanse your sins and ascend to the kingdom of the Lord." β
"Sounds like you know who I am?" The boy was not going to argue with a religious believer.
"Amy Ulysses. The withered old man didn't seem to intend to persuade him to convert, and instead of continuing to go deeper into the question just now, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "Your sister cried so badly at that time, I don't think I can remember you." β
Yulia......
The Glory One couldn't help but be silent, and only raised his head after a long while: "Is she okay?"
"How could I possibly know, you ask me. The old man replied angrily, "But the abilities of your glorious ones are strange, and I am not surprised that this ability of resurrection from the dead appears in you. β
"Oh. Amy replied lightly, it seems that the effect of his fake death is much better than expected, not only did the dark wizard Alfred not find out, even the Order was successfully deceived by him, but this is not something to be proud of, if he can, in a situation like this one, he doesn't want to encounter even one more time, "How long have I been dead." β
"Plus it's been exactly three days. The Order's Grand Sword Bearer gave him a meaningful look, "Resurrection three days after death - what a legendary ability." β
"It's also a very useless ability. "For the Glory, hiding one's abilities has become almost an instinct.
"What is useful or useless in ability, the ability that can keep you alive at a critical moment is good ability. The old man seemed to sigh with deep emotion, "Like me, even if I have the ability to cover the five major areas of attack and defense and have a self-contained system? β
"That's you fighting one. The boy praised at the right time.
"The fart is one enemy and three enemies, chasing down such a tricky character as the dark princes, how dare I go alone?" The old man did not appreciate it at all, the ancestors once said that "a person is about to die, and his words are also good", perhaps because death is coming, and the big sword wielder who is high on weekdays rarely shows his true temperament, "As a result, two ruthless characters on the blacklist suddenly popped out of the grass, and all of a sudden the formation was completely chaotic, if I didn't give up my life, I'm afraid none of them would have been able to leave." β
"Isn't it, are the Dark Secretaries that strong?" In Amy's opinion, the Great Sword Bearer, the Dark Secretaries and the Chosen One are all peak powerhouses, and even if there is a difference in individual strength, there should be a limited difference, "I remember that there are also three Great Sword Bearers left behind in Hemtika by the Order......
"The Tower of the High Must have a man in charge. The old man waved his hand irritably, "Originally, it was to fight more and less, plus surprise, even if you are unlucky, it is normal for the whole army to be wiped out." β
"I see. The boy nodded, "I would like to ask you, what are the five major areas you just mentioned?"
"It's a way for the Order to divide the ability system," the Order's chief sword wielder shook his head, "It's not a big secret, for the sake of you being able to accompany me on the last journey, I'll make an exception to tell you - according to the specific performance of ability, the Order divides ability into five major areas, which are the Enhancement Department, the Change System, the Operation Department, the Plastic Energy Department, and the Specialty Department." β
"Actually, these five areas are very easy to understand," the old man's conversation is good, and this knowledge may be valuable in Hemtika, but in the eyes of the big forces that can really determine the future direction of the order's territory, it is just the basis that every apprentice will be informed before he or she enters, "The enhancement system is designed to strengthen one's physical fitness through ability or strengthen the armor, weapons and other items that act as an extension of the body, while the transformation system is physical changes, such as turning into a wolf, a tiger, Lions or myths and legends of fantasy can be classified into this category, as for the change of appearance and local changes in the body, the same is true; The operation system is also known as the control system, this concept is difficult to explain in a short period of time, specifically it is to manipulate the atmosphere, manipulate plants, volley objects and the like, the plastic energy system is very easy to explain in comparison, as the name suggests, it is the ability to shape energy, this kind of ability can summon flames out of thin air, summon lightning, and is the most dangerous existence in battle- Whether it is for the enemy or himself, the last remaining anomalies are a huge junkyard, and the other four types of inexplicable and difficult to contain abilities can be put into it - your resurrection from the dead can obviously be classified as the anomalous. β
"Thank you. The young glorious man thanked him sincerely, relieved himself, calmed his mind, seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and bowed deeply to the rickety old man in front of him, "Your Excellency, there is one last question I would like to ask you to teach - in this world, is there a way to make me stronger?"
"You want to be strong?" the Order's Grand Sword Bearer paused and shook his head, "Then I ask you, what is the concept of mightβis it great power, superior intelligence, or the ability to be different?"
"Probably ......," Amy shook her head a little ashamedly, and after a brief silence, she looked directly into the old man's cloudy eyes and said word by word, "Powerful enough to control your own destiny." β
The Grand Sword-wielder of the Order was silent.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "What a difficult little fellow...... If you really want to be a person who can control your own destiny, I can tell you - you can't do it, even the dark lords and the great sword wielders can't do it, maybe in the mortal world, only the true and true chosen ones have a glimmer of hope. β
"So-"
The slightly elongated tone is followed by a sonorous and powerful articulation.
"Aim to be the chosen one. β
