Vol 8 Chapter 27 (1/2)
Book 8, The Ten Thousand Kilometer Journey – Chapter 27, Secrets of the Church
Zassler knew that for a twenty one year old to reach such a level meant that in the future, he would eventually leave Zassler far behind in the dust
“We can be considered to know so about each other’s abilities now Didn’t you want to know about the Radiant Church?” A look of self-confidence was on Zassler’s face With regards to the secrets of the Radiant Church, he, Zassler, probably knew as h level members of the Church itself
“Speak” Linley ian to listen carefully
Zassler nodded “Simply put, the Radiant Church’s power, on the most superficial level, includes Missionaries, Priests, Bishops, Vicars, and Cardinals They also have the eight ace regihts of the Radiant Temple This can be considered their second military force In addition, they also have the servants of the Ecclesiastical Tribunal as well as a large number of Ascetics”
Hearing this, Linley was silent He knew all this already
“But aside from these overtly visible forces, they also have two hidden forces” These words immediately aroused Linley’s interest
Ascetics and Executors of the Ecclesiastical Tribunal were considered their ‘overtly visible’ forces?
“These two hidden forces are extremely formidable, more powerful than any of their other forces The first hidden force is known as the Zealots!” Zassler frowned “These Zealots are very terrifying They have a very strange pohich is not light-style power I can’t explain it either”
This was the first time that Linley had heard the term ‘Zealot’
“And the second force?” Linley asked
Zassler’s face was solemn “The second force is the most powerful force the Radiant Church has to offer, their true trus reach the final, els!”
“Angels?!” Linley’s heart shook
In the past, at the Ernst Institute, Linley had read quite a bit regarding Angels The iels was that they were powerful, extremely powerful
“Because of the restrictions of having fleshly bodies, Descended Angels will not be at the peak of their power However, even the weakest Descended Angel will be a combatant of the ninth rank Many are Saint-levels Descended Angels are the true,force available to the Radiant Church” Zassler sighed
Linley’s heart was filled with shock
“Zassler, I’ve read about Angels before The descriptions of the els say that they have the power of Deities If the Radiant Church has a large nuels, they shouldn’t be in their current state” Linley probed
Zassler shook his head “No The power of the Descended Angels will depend on the human vessels the Radiant Church provides”
“Huly at Zassler
“Right Angels are unable to create dimensional rifts and directly descend into our world Their only option is to use some special th or weakness of this huel can wield” Zassler explained
“Linley, although this world has ninth-rank combatants and Saint-level combatants…if it weren’t for their battle-qi, their physical strength would be quite a bit weaker Normal humans can only reach the sixth rank based on their th”
Linley agreed with this assessment
“When an Angel descends into a body with th of the sixth rank, they can at most wield power of the ninth rank Thus, the Radiant Church needs bodies of the seventh rank, or even higher” Zassler said with certainty
“Even more powerful bodies?” Linley frowned
“Although norenerally only reach the sixth rank, there are still soeniuses who are extreth It can be said that they are inherently powerful These people with special natural gifts ht reach the limit of the seventh rank based on muscle power alone And a body which can naturally reach the seventh rank in power should be enough to allow an Angel to wield power of the Saint-level”
Hearing Zassler’s words, Linley couldn’t help but frown
Because Linley’s great grandfather had been able to train to the seventh level just based on his randfather had died in battle In the past, Linley had never questioned this, but now…
“Could it have been possible that randfather was actually taken away by the Radiant Church for his body?” Linley was guessing
In truth, all of the Four Supreifts All of them could train to an extreth
Zassler continued, “This has caused the Radiant Church to scour the entire world for people with powerful bodies The el will be But it’s of no use In this era, the Yulan continent has four Deity-level combatants Faced with these Deity-level co but die”
“Four Deity-level combatants?” Linley stared at Zassler in surprise It seeh Zassler knew about the existence of that expert froical Beasts
Zassler saw Linley’s surprise Laughing, he said, “The four Deity-level coical beast who is the King of the Forest of Darkness, and the ical Beasts who appeared on Apocalypse Day”
“Linley, when I was being taught the secrets to Necroic, I learned…that the bodies of Deities are at the Saint-level in terth alone” Zassler said with certainty
A Deity-level combatant could be said to be composed of his divine body, his divine spark, and the divine power he wielded There was no way a Saint-level combatant could injure them at all
“Thus, in order to wield the power of a Deity, the body alone th Most likely, the Radiant Church is not able to els were to descend, they wouldn’t be able to use their deific power, due to being restricted by their physical bodies” Zassler said confidently
The teachings of Necroic were abstruse and profound In addition, Zassler was over eight centuries old He truly knew s
“Deity-level combatants!” Linley’s heart swelled with amazement
Any of these four most powerful experts of the Yulan continent could shake the world with their ht On the Apocalypse Day, the appearance of Dylin had caused both the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows to flee and avoid him
The Radiant Church had their Descended Angels But then, what did the Cult of Shadows possess, for them to be equal to the Radiant Church for countless, untold years?
Despite that, both powers co of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts
From this, one could clearly tell how ineffable the power of a Deity-level combatant was
“Who knohen I will have power like that” Linley was filled with eagerness and hope towards this sort of power
