Ron wanted to use the Manticore as a stepping stone to his promotion to rank 7 Paladin, and Victor wondered how he was prepared to do it. With the speed of the Flying Lion Monster alone, it was almost impossible for Ron to threaten it. Even if the two sides are close to each other, the battle will be won or lost in an instant. Due to the short and intense process of the decisive victory, Victor is skeptical that Ron can break through the shackles of the realm with this.

However, after decades of cultivation, Master Ron has honed his mind, external force, internal potential, and holy power to the extreme, and he may only need one opportunity to perfectly integrate his holy power with himself.

In short, this is an internal matter of the church, and Victor will not rush into it. If he could witness the birth of the Radiant God of War, it would definitely be beneficial for him to replenish the theory of the secret method of the soul bloodline. Anyway, even if Ron fails, Victor has nothing to lose.

The process of Ron's battle with the manticore can be seen in the plain place, and the evil slash directly crushed the manticore's soul without injuring its fur and bones, preserving the most complete trophies.

Victor didn't expect that the manticore's venom was the target of Ron's trip.

Well, venom is indeed the most valuable trophy of the manticore, but is that something that a human body can withstand?

An adult dragon can't withstand a stinger from a manticore, and Ron weighs less than a hundredth of a dragon's weight, so it stands to reason that he should have been turned into a pile of mud by this time, but he walked forward step by step like no one.

To be precise, Ron still looked strange. The white-gold runes on the surface of his skin continued to glow, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of holy light mist, as if he was covered with a faint layer of holy light armor.

When the three returned to camp, Ron remained silent and sat alone on a stake in the distance. The golden paladins of Testil and Trigoval were the first to perceive the Void Water Elemental in Ron's body in a highly poisonous form, and then saw the corpse of the manticore dragged by Tournans, and understood the general situation. They warned the members of the decapitation team in advance not to approach or disturb Master Ron, lest an accident occur, for example, being directly poisoned by Master Ron's exhaled breath.

Ron is a fanatical believer who has lived for more than a hundred years, and his ideas are different. But his life and death are unpredictable now, and it is related to the path of the glorious god of war, causing the atmosphere of the entire team to become inexplicable, and even the corpse of the manticore has lost its due attractiveness. Everyone paid attention to Ron, but they didn't dare to disturb him, and they were careful in what they said and did.

After listening to Victor's account of the battle, Tystiel was in a dilemma. The invincible manticore has been transformed into a priceless corpse, the goblin lord has lost his backer, and death is not far away, and the newly rising orc kingdom will soon fall apart due to the natural contradictions between the different races. That medium-sized sheep-headed tribe was a big, tasty piece of fat meat in the eyes of ogres and gnolls.

It stands to reason that Testil should hurry back to the Boulder Fortress war zone and preside over the next orc war, and it would be perfect to force the remaining Sidon centaurs into the Goblin Lord's sphere of influence, and let the centaurs and other orc tribes compete for living space.

But Ron's attempt to storm the Rank 7 Paladin was also a great deal, and although he belonged to the Templar Army, at his level, his personal will had transcended organization, and Tournans was favored by him. Regardless of whether Ron succeeds in promoting to the Radiant God of War, Pope Clement will not leave, and the Grand Master of the Radiant Knights will not be able to leave. The truth is self-evident.

If Ron makes the cut, he will be able to temporarily influence the power structure of the church during his lifetime. For such a big event, Victor has the patience to wait for the moment when the water comes out.

The Golden-Eyed Earl was reluctant to interfere with Ron, he was determined to be a bystander, and Tystire saw it, and after a moment of silence, he tried to ask Turnans, "Master Ron's current state seems to be not suitable for hurrying?"

Turnans thought for a moment and said, "I think it will take at least two days to wait." When Mr. Ron wants to leave, we can go. ”

Testier nodded and saluted Clement, "Your Majesty, Clark and I will go and fetch Brother Strange back." ”

The chief referee, Trigovar, then said, "Then I'll take someone to the forest to catch some prey." ”

A few golden paladins went out together, definitely to discuss the next itinerary. Clement nodded faintly, without any extra words.

In the evening, Trigovar and the paladins of the Inquisition returned to the camp with their prey and firewood, and Strange, who was in charge of monitoring the goblin lord, was far away from the camp and did not return with Tystiel until noon the next day.

After a brief lunch, Grand Master Testiel suggested to the crowd: "We have eliminated the manticore, but there is no unrest in this orc kingdom. We need someone to stay and take the corpse of the manticore to terrorize the orc tribes on the outskirts. Strange and Conral's team are familiar with their surroundings and are on a mission to spread the news of the Manticore's death to the orcs. ”

Strange smiled and said, "No problem, this is what we should do." We'll stay here, set up a surveillance camp, confirm that there is infighting in the orc kingdom, and then return to the Knights of Radiance. ”

Referee Trigovar said: "The timing of this surveillance mission is difficult to determine, and it is possible in the first half of the year. It just so happened that I released the letter crow two days ago, and the Inquisition will soon send a team of 20 people to support. Since then, this surveillance camp has been regularly replenished by our Inquisition. ”

Testiel turned to Victor and smiled apologetically: "Cousin Victor, the corpse of the manticore will be left to Strange for the time being, and I will definitely make up for your share of the loot." ”

The manticore is full of treasures, and even according to the collection standards of the Alchemy Pagoda, its fur and bones belong to a super class of resources, and its value is immeasurable. But the only church that has the ability to fully process the manticore. Strange said that he was going to divide the spoils with Victor, and it was basically no fun. The manticore is so big, you can't split it in half, right? And it doesn't make much sense to keep half a manticore.

"All I need is the manticore's venom sac bone bead and give it to Sylvia. ”

Victor smiled and said to Clement instead, "The rest of the loot, please help me convert it into 200 places to reshape my body." ”

The Manticore was killed by both Victor and Ron, and Testil naturally divided the spoils, as he was the actual ruler of the church. However, as the Great Lord of the South, Victor is not destined to be in the same camp as the Knights of Radiance, and he should also take this opportunity to make his position clear.

In front of the four leaders of the Knights of Radiance, the Count of Golden-Eyed openly supported him, and Pope Clement's face showed a warm smile, and he nodded: "Yes, ......" Then, he said: "The Scout Team of the Strange Brothers has only one priest, and the strength in healing magic is inevitably insufficient. Pastor Carlomon stays too. When we get back to the Boulder Fortress, I'll arrange for His Highness Randall to have an accompanying priest. ”

"Okay, that's it. Testiel nodded in agreement.

Next, everyone worked together to help the remaining scout team collect supplies for the winter, cut down trees to build wooden houses, and made a lot of bacon while burning charcoal. In just three days, 14 half-cavernous log cabins were erected in the bush belt, simple but very strong, resistant to rain and snow, and quite secluded. Four of the huts are filled with charcoal and simply smoked game, enough for 30 people for a month.

Survival in the wild is a necessary skill for knights and nobles, and the survival skills of ordinary people in the wild are much worse than those of noble children. Victor felt a sense of accomplishment in doing these things, and Caligula put in a lot of effort and was very busy.

On the morning of the fourth day, Ron, who had been sitting on the stone, finally stood up, and the vision of the holy light on his body disappeared, and nodded to the crowd, indicating that he was ready to go on his way.

Saying goodbye to Strange's scout team, Victor and the others set out on their way home. Ron was at the front of the line at a fixed pace. He walked in silence all the time, keeping a distance of 30 meters from the crowd.

Ron walked 12 kilometers per hour, which was not fast, but he didn't speak, he didn't eat, drink, sleep, just walk. In the first two days, everyone was able to keep up, and after walking for four days in a row, the mid-level paladins in the team were a little overwhelmed, and Pope Clement had to perform magic spells for them to restore their spirits.

Victor is unaware of Ron's current form, and he has been observing the subtle changes in the other party's performance. The platinum streaks on Ron's skin were fading, and his life form seemed to be evolving from the transcendent to the mundane, and if that meant that the holy power in his body was disintegrating, then he was walking with the power of his will and body.

Whether this performance is good or bad, Victor has no way of judging, but Tournans is faintly excited, but it is a lot more reassuring.

After another two days and one night, the tenth day of the manticore's venom in Ron, the holy streaks on his skin had completely disappeared, and his current appearance was not significantly different from that of a mortal except for the bald head and barefoot features.

Ron stopped suddenly, as if he had been struck by a stone on the ground. The team stopped almost at the same time, and Testil stepped forward, his ice blue eyes shining with holy light, and said in a condensed voice, "Master Ron, you ......"

The elemental perception of the high-level paladin could no longer detect the toxins entrenched in Ron's body, but the holy power he had tempered for thousands of years was also gone

Ron raised his leg and stepped on the air, and a white-gold halo appeared on the soles of his feet, like a ladder of substance, supporting him, step by step into the void, turning around and saying:

"I am sanctified today. ”

The usual tone was not threatening, but Victor's heart trembled. The Tempest Knight's semi-elemental transformation can stay in the air, the Earth Knight's force field can also stay in the air, and his light spirit body can also stay in the air, but no one can fly, and Silvia can't do it.

Ron stops in the void, this is to break through the laws of the real world, the light of the mind interferes with reality, and the glorious god of war is extraordinary!

The paladin master's bland gaze crossed Tystiel and landed on Caligula's body, and said gently, "Child, you come here." ”

Caligula's mouth was wide open enough to stuff a fist, and when he heard this, he looked at Victor, then at Nelson and Turnans, and got a nod in the affirmative, and then walked over to Ron in confusion.

"Aka, why don't you dare fight?" Ron asked with a smile.

"Grandpa Ron, Acre...... Timid, Aka is afraid......" Caligula hung her head in shame.

"Because you are strong, you are timid, and because you are kind, you are afraid. Ron nodded and said kindly, "I've read your profile and understand your experience. You grew up in a church workhouse in the Duchy of Wellington, in the city of Stock, and you ate three times as much as the average child, and you were hated by the other children, who often beat you and scolded you for the excuse, and when you were five years old, you pushed a child to the point where you were injured, and the workhouse priest came forward to punish you, starved you for two days, and warned you not to hurt anyone with your strength. From then on, you did not dare to fight with anyone. ”

Caligula thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "...... Acre couldn't remember. ”

"It doesn't matter. Ron nodded and sighed, "Actually, I have a similar experience with you. I am a paladin of the Inquisition, and the first time I have captured a wizard, the child's relatives have hidden it in every possible way. My teacher ordered us to torture those who harbored wizards. The child is not guilty, his parents are not guilty, and we are not guilty...... Who is guilty under the cruel punishment? I don't know, and I still don't know...... I believe that the Light can redeem all, and He has given me a firm faith, an unapologetic determination. ”

"There is nothing wrong with being strong, there is nothing wrong with being kind, what you lack is brave faith, the source of battle. ”

Caligula muttered, "Aka, I don't understand. ”

Ron's fingers condensed a little white-gold brilliance, flew into Caligula's eyebrows, and said, "The principle of valor is to inspire latent anger. I have planted the seeds of valor for you, and you will be brave from now on. ”

Caligula touched his forehead carelessly, and after a while, he said with a sad face, "Grandpa Ron, Aka didn't touch anything. ”

Ron smiled, pointed at Caligula and said, "Acre, you are a miracle of the Most High Lord. All you have to do is say, 'I'm angry,' three times in a row, and the Lord will grant you valor." There's a gang of gnolls in the woods to the north, go, kill them all. ”

Caligula glanced at the dense forest, took two steps back, and shook his head repeatedly.

"Acre, come on!" Nelson tossed a gotitanic decapitation sword.

Caligula deftly grabbed the hilt of his sword, looked at Victor in confusion, and asked his master for help.

"Don't be afraid, go try. Victor encouraged, adding, "If you don't go, you won't have anything to eat." ”

Caligula had no choice but to carry the decapitation sword, and walked back into the woods step by step, and when he saw that no one said anything to keep him, he gritted his teeth and kept muttering, "Aka is angry, Aka is angry, Aka...... Angry!"

"Aka, angry!"

White-gold sacred runes emerged from the void, swirling in a circle on the back of Caligula's head, the muscles of his tall body bulging, and when his combat boots hit the ground, an invisible air flow stirred, increasing in speed, and finally like a sharp arrow, it rushed into the reckless forest.

The gnolls suddenly fell with blood mold.

Ron withdrew his gaze from Caligula, looked at Tournans, and said flatly, "I'm on the wrong path, you have to stick to your path." Today, you can see the form of the Radiant God of War, which is the Lord's guidance to you, to the Paladin. ”

As he spoke, white-gold light bloomed from within him, and countless divine runes swirled. Ron's whole person was like a holy light, and three streamers of holy fire were born behind him, like three pairs of wings with white and gold flames, revealing a vast and solemn momentum. The soft light grew brighter to the point where Ron's form could not be distinguished, and finally turned into a pure light that swept across everyone's eyes.

"When all things are dark, only the light remains. The clergy chanted to the Light.

Radiant as water, shining in all directions, holy and warm. Victor felt desolate, and the seventh-level paladin Ron was assimilated by the Holy Light.

However, he left a valuable lesson for the paladins: fanaticism is not advisable.

He also left a sanctuary-level force for the church.

In the Holy Light, a Holy Power Crystal floated and sank, it was the Holy Warrior Crystal condensed by Ron, full of his experience and strength, the power of the Radiant God of War.

Testiel took the Holy Crystal, turned around, and saluted Clemente, "Your Majesty, Master Ron's Holy Power Crystal, which is kept by the Knights of Radiance...... Hopefully, we won't need it. ”
