Chapter 2: The Most Primitive Justice!
"Only the power that crushes everything can keep the justice in your heart!"
"There is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil!"
"Even if you are in endless darkness, you must use your own faith as firewood, burn the darkness, light the way forward for yourself, and ignite hope for others!"
"Faith is not extinguished, justice is eternal!"
As the oath sounded, Wren's lowered head was raised inch by inch, and the gaze in his eyes gradually became sharper.
"I wish: to find a strong enemy, without distractions!"
"My general: there is no mercy for the wicked!"
"I will: for justice, unscrupulous means!"
"I can: in case of bad consequences, try my best to compensate!"
"I will always remember in my heart: revenge is the most primitive justice, the purest justice!"
A powerful force of faith poured out of Wren's limbs, supporting his badly injured body to its feet again.
"Without great power, the color of justice will be pale! From this day on, until death, I will believe only in my own power, only in the mighty power! ”
"Only with the power to crush everything, can we face any evil organization, evil race, even the demons of the bottomless abyss and the devils of Bato Hell, can we have the ability to protect the people, protect the city, and help the world from pain and disaster!"
"Evil is not extinguished, revenge is not stopped!"
"This is the holy warrior's oath of revenge!"
When the last byte fell, a powerful wave of dark energy suddenly erupted around Wren's body, sweeping away the exhaustion of his body and mind, and replacing it with an infinite amount of energy gushing out of his body.
Wren understands that this is the power of faith.
The holy warriors who swore an oath of vengeance did not believe in any gods, but fought only for their own beliefs.
The oath of vengeance is a solemn pledge to punish those who have committed serious crimes.
When evil forces slaughter the helpless inhabitants, when some people turn against the will of the people, when a thief's guild is too domineering, when a terrifying dragon runs rampant in the countryside......
Whenever evil runs rampant on the earth, it is the moment when the holy warrior who has made a vow of revenge appears.
They will do whatever it takes to do justice, even at the expense of their reputation and purity, to eliminate evil and uphold justice.
Because their methods are so ruthless and merciless to their enemies, even to the point of cutting down the roots, they are called "Black Knights" in contrast to the holy warriors who have made a vow of devotion are called "White Knights".
However, both Wren and they prefer another title.
Avenger!
A group of vengeful evildoers!
The pain, suffering, and darkness of the past could no longer stop the belief in the hearts of the Black Knights, but instead turned into firewood, catalyzing a powerful force that was eye-catching.
With the oath established, Wren was able to sense that the exclusive expertise and skills of those sealed paladins had been quietly unsealed.
Not only that, but the abilities of the old Oath of Devotion have been replaced by the new abilities of the Oath of Vengeance.
Now, after channeling his divine power, the abilities he has gained are no longer [Sacred Weapons] and [Dispelling Uncleanness], but [Breaking Courage and Drinking] and [Enemy Oath].
The former allows the designated enemy to enter a panic state, and even if the immunity is successful, the movement speed will be reduced by half until damage is taken.
The latter allows the Black Knight to take an enemy oath and gain an advantage when attacking a designated enemy for the next minute.
Not only that, but the original two holy oath spells [Evil Protection] and [Shelter] have also been replaced with [Calamity] and [Hunter's Mark], which greatly strengthens the output ability.
However, this is not the strongest part of the Black Knight.
The reason why the Black Knight is able to take endless revenge on evil is that the Black Knight's exclusive [Holy Slash]!
With the oath of revenge, the Paladin's original [Evil Slash] will be replaced by the [Holy Slash].
There is no limit to the number of times a day the Black Knight's core ability, but instead the Black Knight can use a spell slot to cast this skill when he hits with a melee weapon, dealing Radiant damage to the target in addition to the weapon damage.
In other words, as long as his spell slots are sufficient, the Black Knight will continue to release the [Holy Slash]!
Consumes a 1-ring spell slot to increase the extra radiant damage by 2d8, and adds 1d8 for each ring higher than the 1 ring at higher spell slots, up to a maximum of 5d8.
Not only that, but if the target is an undead or Hive, the damage will be increased by an additional 1d8, up to a maximum of 6d8.
The most important thing is that this damage can be blessed by your own expertise!
For example, the double damage of [Jump Split], or the triple damage of [Rush Rush] with a spear equipped!
However, Wren understands that the strong abilities of these black knights are all temporary.
He must pass the trial of revenge and gain the approval of the will of the world before he can fully possess these abilities.
At the moment when he made his vow, in the dark, Wren had already sensed that thirty miles to the northeast, there was an evil that he needed to purify.
Only by completely purifying this evil can he truly gain the recognition of the world consciousness and become a holy warrior who fulfills his oath of revenge.
"Northeast...... Thirty miles...... It should be the abandoned Vandalin Pit. ”
The corners of Wren's mouth curled slightly, and he took advantage of the moonlight to cast his gaze on the mountains in the distance.
"It seems that there is another hidden reason for the abandonment of the Vandalin Mine back then."
Retracting his gaze and looking at the four skeletons that were getting closer and closer, Wren pressed his chest with his right hand and whispered:
"However, the most important thing at the moment is to clean up these skeletons."
"Holy Healing!"
In view of his own HP far below the warning line, Wren decisively activated the Paladin's class trait [Holy Heal].
As the faint white light flashed away on Wren's body, most of the wounds on his body healed, and his health was instantly raised by a large margin, and he was released from the state of serious injury.
Feeling the vitality pouring out of his body, Wren had a satisfied look in his eyes.
Although his own health is still not full, it is still more than enough to deal with a few skeletons.
The strength of these skeletons is not very strong, and the challenge level is only level 1, which is roughly equivalent to a formally trained militia, but because they are undead, they have almost no Achilles' heel on their bodies, and even have some resistance to long-range physical attacks.
Even if a skeleton is the lowest level of undead, it belongs to the category of transcendent creatures.
Ordinary professionals can still be comfortable with one or two skeletons, but against more than four, they are a little weak, and even face the danger of death.
Unfortunately, the four skeletons met Wren.
A paladin who is good at fighting undead creatures, or a black knight who has strengthened his output ability!
Wren bent down, picked up a stone the size of a brick, and then kicked his right foot on the wet ground, and the whole person rushed towards the skeleton not far away like an arrow from the string.
Sensing Wren's movements, one of the skeletons led by him opened its jaws and let out a silent roar, and then the rusty long sword in his hand slashed down at Wren's head.
Wren's figure instantly turned from extreme movement to extreme stillness, allowing the tip of the sword to cross five centimeters in front of him.
As a former legendary warrior, his control over his body has reached the pinnacle, and when it comes to combat skills, these skeletons can't even see his exhaust!
Take the opportunity to attack!
Without waiting for the other party to accept the recruitment, Wren had already stepped forward, grabbed the rusty blade with his right hand, and suddenly exerted force in his waist and abdomen.
Wren's power of up to 16 points gave him explosive power comparable to that of the top weightlifters in his previous life, and in an instant, he threw the long sword and its owner towards the right rear.
Without waiting for the other three skeletons to gather around, Wren turned around and chased after the skeleton that had fallen to a pulp.
It is better to break one of his fingers than to hurt his five fingers, and Wren is quite clear in his heart.
On the premise that you don't plan to unleash any magic and use any professional abilities to preserve your strength for the subsequent revenge trial, this strategy is the best solution.
What's more, when he woke up, he was empty-handed, and he urgently needed a weapon to deal with the enemy.
