Chapter 525: Counter Kill (III) (2/2)
Why… Why aren’t you letting me recall him? Just why? Cai’er’s tears started to drip even faster, and at the sight of Long Haochen, she felt a great pain.
This divine rain lasted for no less than half an hour, and when the golden color gradually dispersed from the sky, an extremely warm sun came to view. In Exorcist City, acclamation for the earlier kill of Allocer started to burst forth once again, this time even more loudly.
Spreading out his wings, Star King glided through the Exorcist City. Sheng Yue’s figure twinkled, and rapidly joined Long Haochen’s side. But he found out with amazement that even after using such a powerful forbidden spell, the holy light aura spreading out from Long Haochen’s body was even more intense than before. Although no fluctuation of spiritual energy could be sensed on him, he and his Starlight Unicorn seemed to be supported by the power of light, supported by the power of light and one with it.
Even Sheng Yue had never seen someone else reach such a state.
Long Haochen’s fully used spell was called Holy Rain, a light elemental forbidden spell that he had cultivated in the cave. In terms of healing effect, this forbidden healing spell useable by knights was unable to compare with the forbidden healing spell belonging to priests. After all, knights were not specialized in healing like priests.
But this Holy Rain has its own features. The drops of rain are even more gentle in times of healing, and more easily absorbed. Furthermore, the long, steady period of healing and therapeutic relief would not only massively boost one side’s morale and replenish physical power for the targets, but also get rid of negative feelings.
In other words, in terms of healing alone, Divine Rain is quite below other healing forbidden spells, but it has many more uses. Furthermore, it requires only a third or a half of the full chant to start the forbidden rain. But its healing effect will vary with the strength of the user, and will of course have limited effects when used by a Guardian Knight of the eighth step.
Right before, when Long Haochen used Holy Rain, its range, purity and global effects were far above its original effects. The instantaneous flash of insights and ignition of his emotions, plus the mobilization of his physique as a god’s chosen one made his use of this spell close to perfection. Even among the top five demon gods, only the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, and Star Demon God could use something of such scale.
The powerhouses from the Assassins Temple that gave themselves the task of protecting Long Haochen returned to the city one after another.
In town, Sheng Lingxin had long ago commanded the soldiers to leave an open space for Long Haochen, and when he landed in the city, the top powerhouses from the Assassin Temple all reflexively surrounded him. Having used such a powerful forbidden spell, they understood very clearly that this Golden Foundation Knight state must be in quite the weakened state. This was all the more reason to not let the demons take any opportunity.
But of course, as it turned out, the demons currently didn’t have forces to ambush him. When the seven great demon gods released that dark red barrier, they expended a lot of power. Even if the demon god pillars were great, they served at most to amplify the wielders’ strength, but their consumption of magic power remained considerable. What they faced was not Long Haochen but heaven’s might!
Star King was floating, but his wings had both vanished. His first movement was to turn around to face Long Haochen, still sitting on his back. His limpid eyes were full of reverence and warmth.
“Master, I thank you.” This appellation of master was chosen completely willingly by Star King. He followed Long Haochen because of his identity as Scion of Light, and not because of his approval of Haochen’s character. The main point was that he could benefit from Long Haochen’s pure light element. Additionally, he sensed Long Haochen’s kindness.
After following Long Haochen to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, Star King actually didn’t feel really good. Seeing the Scion of Light’s ongoing slaughters, although the ones slaughtered were demons, nonetheless his hand kept being contaminated with blood.
But just a moment ago, Star King really became convinced by Long Haochen. As his mount, his perception of Long Haochen’s emotions as he put Rain of Light into use was second to no one else, including all the changes in his emotions. At the time Long Haochen used it, he didn’t put his own body’s state in consideration at all, and that kindness deeply touched Star King, a light elemental magical beast of the kindest type.
The one who received the most of Rain of Light’s influence was Star King. The boundary that Sheng Yue sensed was also sensed by Star King. To him, this was the boundary of a Divine Unicorn! If one studied him attentively, he would see that the white hairs on the body of the current Star King already took on a thin golden color. That was the sign that his transformation into a Divine Unicorn had started. He believed that as long as he kept following Long Haochen, he would succeed in evolving before too long.
Long Haochen jumped down from Star King’s body. At this very moment, the spiritual energy in his body, including the energy stored in the Golden Foundation Armor, was all exhausted. But extraordinarily, he wasn’t in a weakened state. At this time, he was like an ordinary person with only a reinforced mental capacity. Furthermore, his exhausted spiritual energy was quietly recovering. Without a need for him to act, the outside light essence will autonomously enter his body, and become of the purest kind through assimilation, while the rather impure light essence would find it difficult to approach him. This saved Long Haochen from the process of filtering.
A total of eleven powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were around Long Haochen, including Sheng Yue. Aside from the latter, the others were all clad in black, the head being no exception. The demeanor of each of them was greatly imposing.
