Chapter 501: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, divine tool? (I)

“Captain!”

Han Yu’s shout was very emotional. After a year and a half, he was finally able to fight alongside his Captain like before.

He was now filled with the memories of his previous battles alongside Long Haochen. Ever since coming back from seclusion, he had been fighting in this Holy War, making use of his battle technique and strength to establish himself rapidly. Although he was not yet a Mythril Foundation Knight, he was nonetheless a mid-ranked officer in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, responsible for defending a very large area.

In the eyes of the other knights, the Temple Knight Han Yu was extremely outstanding. It seemed that he stood firm after every battle he fought. However, only Han Yu knew how lonely he had felt for too long.

Since he had become a Demon Hunter, Han Yu was like a second knight on the team. He had no need to stand in the front, and only served as an important support for Long Haochen. With Long Haochen there, he was full of confidence, battling under his lead to attack the enemy together. He didn’t need to put much thought into other matters, as simply following Long Haochen’s command was sufficient.

But after joining this Holy War, thanks to his cultivation and outstanding performance, he gradually turned into a leader. He came to understand that many things needed to be taken into consideration as a leader, and that being a leader came with a lot of pressure. Having gotten used to following Long Haochen’s command, he didn’t really like these feelings. Many times, he was totally unable to display his full strength, and had to adapt to his other teammates. In times of desperate struggles, he would have an intense feeling of helplessness, thinking, What if I had Captain to fight by my side?

At the time Long Haochen’s seclusion finished, no one was more excited than Han Yu. It was a sincere feeling of carefree excitement. Reminiscing on the adventures they had in the Desolate Hissing Caverns, the Illusory Paradise, and the Swamps of Gloom, he thought, Captain is finally back. He’s finally about to fight by my side again!

Han Yu had been waiting far too long for this day. Although Long Haochen was fully concealed behind his dark gold-colored Gold Essence Foundation Armor, the sword Rippling Light in his hand could not be faked! Captain was back!

Indeed, Long Haochen was back. Having witnessed the battle’s start from afar, he came rushing as fast as he could. Besides, he had on his shoulders the huge pressure of the ten million contribution points mission, and such battles were the best way to gather them. That was why he came in such a rush.

Originally, Long Haochen was prepared to join the aerial battle on Star King’s back, as the Fiends and Hell Demons were already launching full power assaults against the Airborne Knight Regiment. However, he came to notice the brightly shining Scarlet Wildness on his way to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

Just like Han Yu had no difficulty recognizing him, how would he not recognize his own good brother? Therefore, Long Haochen renounced joining the aerial battle, recalled Star King, and landed on the ground in a flash, not only resolving Han Yu’s great struggle but also launching some powerful attacks, greatly lightening the pressure on the knights.

That myriad of golden glints came from a powerful offensive ability used by Retribution Knights, called Meteor Shower Strike, a Retribution Knight ability of the seventh step.

The single-target offensive power of this ability is not very significant, but its area of effects is very large.

Having gone through continuous trials, Long Haochen understood very clearly his own defects. Mostly, he lacked powerful large-scale offensive abilities, which was known as the universal shortcoming of knights.

Large-scale offenses and boosts formed up the majority of the techniques Long Haochen chose to train. The Holy War had already begun, and in the future, he couldn’t possibly keep fighting only small groups of enemies. There would certainly be much more powerful enemies, with many more battles alongside other fellow soldiers. So these two kinds of abilities were a must-have.

With regard to single-target abilities, Long Haochen had enough confidence: single-target strength was generally measured with the strongest attack a powerhouse can use as a basis. Since the sword intent in Long Haochen’s possession already exceeded the vast majority of his single-target offensive abilities in strength, he therefore preferred to focus on strengthening his comprehension of sword intent. By relying on the divine sword, Aria of the Goddess of Light, as long as his understanding towards sword intent kept rising, his single-target offensive power would keep growing. This was something no single-target ability could compare to.

With Rippling Light in hand to add Ripples of Light to a Meteor Shower Strike, the synergy of these three powerful additions to his arsenal enabled Long Haochen to clear a large amount of enemies instantly. A Demonic Bear had great defense, and so what? With Rippling Light's doubly reinforced attack, Long Haochen's eighth-step cultivation and the addition of the great piercing power of Ripples of Light, their defense was already insufficient.

“Han Yu.” Long Haochen opened his left hand which grabbed the knight that barely escaped calamity. Spreading both arms, he directly gave Han Yu a big hug.
