Chapter 491 - Volume 3 (1/2)
‘Blood of Sun’ is a pa.s.sive skill. For each time the Holy Knight gets damaged, a golden flame will damage nearby enemies. For every level the skill levels up, the reflected damage will increase by 5% of the original damage. So at level 15, the reflected damage was at 75%.
Although the damage is counted as a magical and flame attributed damage and can be defended with various resistances, it was already enough to deal with some enemies. The Holy Knight is a tank Job, and needless to say, the reflected damage will chip off a larger margin of his enemies’ health compared to him!
The ‘Crown of Thorns’ was an active a.s.sault skill and can be set at the continuous or activated state. In the continuous state, it would require less mana. During this time when this state is used, the Holy Knight will gain resistance to poison and other special damage types. And if he were to activate it, the damage that was acc.u.mulated up till then will turn into damage.
The defensive period was short, and after that, the Holy Knight will have to endure a period of being defenseless. But if the Holy Knight activated the skill, his damage capabilities will increase by at least 2 folds! This skill was the core reason for the explosive power of the Holy Knight. I don’t really fancy this sort of skill that would require me to damage myself. But I am already really surprised to be able to obtain two of the core skills of the Holy Knight amongst the countless other skills it has.
In reality, part of the reason was that the Archbishop was hosting the ceremony. Brendel looked at the old man, noticing that he did not have any sort of expression on his face. Wood felt his glare and turned to nod at him, “You can stand up now.”
The room that was shaking uncontrollably just now was currently silent, and the divine power that was felt just now disappeared as well, like everything that happened was just a dream.
“The movements in the north will not be tolerated by the Holy Cathedral for long. And I, who have had the post of the Archbishop for long, may be replaced by another in the near future.” Wood stood up and continued the topic he was on just now. It was like he did not even care about Brendel’s Ascension and only focused on the matter he had in his mind.
Brendel suddenly felt concerned about this matter. Wood was always the person who would remain calm no matter the situation, even during the infighting period of Aouine. But for him to suddenly speak up about this matter, does it mean that he does not see eye to eye with the new Archbishop.
Brendel eyed at the figure.
“I heard that you’re supporting the Princess?” Wood asked.
Brendel did not say anything and just nodded.
“Her majesty’s influence is currently weak. And she’s trying to govern this nation during its time of turmoil. Unless she can convince Duke Arreck. That’s the only way to guarantee that Viero and Radner would side her.”
He suddenly turned his eyes on Brendel, “But do you really think this method can save the Kingdom?”
Brendel shook his head. And that was why he was here: to stop the entire incident. He knew just how the future would progress. Once the deal with Arreck is made, the Princess would have to alliance herself with the other n.o.bles as well. And those rotten n.o.bles are like the rotten supports of a house, and it was just a matter of time before it collapses. It may have been a short term solution for now, but it would be unable to solve the long term issue.
Brendel was no overseer. It was all just experience he received from playing the game back then.
Anderla’s Archbishop looked at him once again, “So do you understand me?”
Everything clicked in his mind all of a sudden. So that’s what he was saying. The Holy Cathedral would not allow chaos to drag on for long in Aouine. And if the Princess could not manage to obtain an advantageous foothold in a short span of time, the Holy Cathedral ay step in. Wood may not want it, but he can’t guarantee if the successor would not as well.
At that, Brendel could not help look up to the old man once more.
