Chapter 531 - v3c308 (1/2)

Brendel’s POV

Smoke and dust stagnated in the air as a layer of golden lines floated in this closed s.p.a.ce with Brendel as its center point, while the other end connected to the World of Laws.

So this is the Elemental Realm. Brendel thought.

At the same time, at the bottom of the Elemental Power column in Brendel’s status screen, another attribute was added.

-Guaranteed Hit: As long as the Lines of Laws are stable, the spellcaster’s next attack can appear anywhere within a certain range. Casting it would require 50 EP.

“We finally meet again, my old pal!” Brendel looked at his attribute, the power of the Laws, almost nostalgically. The power gap between an Elemental Awakener and a Gold ranker was ma.s.sive, so much so that the difference between a Gold and Silver ranker couldn’t compare. The difference between a Bronze ranker and a Silver ranker didn’t even need to be mentioned. Only a few geniuses could manage to obtain this power after reaching The Elemental Barrier.

But once a person managed to grasp this power and cross the gap, he would be stepping into a whole new world. There was a consensus among previous players that a player that reached level 55 and awakened their Elemental Power would flip to a brand new page of The Amber Sword. [Author’s note: The level required to reach the Elemental Realm would vary according to the Job cla.s.ses.]

Just to reach this realm, Sophie once spent three and a half years.

Even the number one player at the time took eleven months.

In this second life, however, he managed it in a year, and that was only because he took a long way around Trentheim and was distracted by other matters. But precisely because of that, Brendel believed that he was far stronger than the world’s number one at the time.

Brendel slightly raised his sword, its tip pointing at the knight before him. The s.p.a.ce around Halran Gaia resonated faintly.

The attribute “Guaranteed Hit” could have a lot of manifestations, but with the distinct s.p.a.ce Elemental Power it was imbued with, it was evidently different from the other attributes.

s.p.a.ce Elemental Power, one of the strongest Elemental Powers.

How could Brendel not be pleased? This was stronger than any Elemental Powers his previous life had. Arefacial features a factor on the Elemental Power? Sophie’s soul thought, feeling jealous of Brendel for having such power.

While it may be weird for him to be jealous of himself, there was a major drawback.

He only had 100 EP at the stage of Elemental Awakening.

Casting this spell once would consume half of his EP. He made that last attack in a drunken state after leaving the World of Laws. Otherwise, he would have killed that Paladin on the spot.

The next attack would definitely hit.

With this attribute, even though he could attack at any location in s.p.a.ce, though there was a condition before casting this spell. The Lines of Laws had to be stable.

Brendel looked up. The golden lines which only he could see would definitely not stabilize at an indefinite distance. In fact, they became weaker after fifty meters away.

At the same time, there were distortions when these golden lines were close to the Paladin, meaning the opponent’s Law was causing interference.

Brendel’s opponent was also a Paladin, a powerhouse in the Elemental Realm who had completely activated his Elemental Powers. If it was not for the fact that his s.p.a.ce Elemental Power was stronger and his opponent was caught off guard, it would be difficult for him to even land a single blow.

Of course, mastering “Guaranteed Hit” could help him take down his opponents easily. But in order to do any serious damage, Brendel had to consume all of his Elemental Power, and he wasn’t stupid enough to do so.

“Unfortunately, I can only use Active Elemental Power right now, but if I could use Elemental Control too, I could definitely be his match.” Brendel said, “But I have to wait until I fully activate my Elemental Power.”

Brendel sheathed his sword and immediately helped Maynild to her feet beside him.

The female knight snorted softly while frowning in pain. Blocking that Paladin’s attack must have taken a toll on her.

Maynild and he were neither friends nor blood relatives, but Brendel always treated Maynild as his senior. When he remembered how his opponent was cruel towards a woman, especially a defenseless one, Brendel could not help but glare at the knight opposite him with anger.

Without a doubt, if it was not for the fact that his opponent was too strong for him, Brendel would have unsheathed his sword and fought him on the spot.

The Paladin apparently noticed Brendel was not an easy person to mess with too. He stepped back vigilantly while covering his wound with one hand. I‘ve never heard of any freaks who reached the Elemental Barrier in the middle of a fight before, not even in the history of the Holy Cathedral! he thought. Besides, he stepped back not because he was afraid, but because the hall had already fallen to the control of the Holy Cathedral.

There was a big hole in Rokshbe Hall’s crystal dome, like a soulless eye blankly gazing at the overcast sky. Rainwater flowed down along the dome, looking like a dirty waterfall when viewed from below.

The water gushed to the ground, flooding the place with muddy water and scattering the chairs all over the place.

On the other hand, the halls were already surrounded by the priests. Nicholas, the Sword Grandmaster from House Seifer, and Garlock guarded the side doors. Behind the crowd, there was another Paladin guarding the main entrance.

Including Archbishop Moros, there were already five powerhouses in the Elemental Realm in this hall alone, not to mention Nigel, a veteran from Black Blade Squad was here too. He can already be considered half an Elemental Awakener.

Brendel held Maynild while the princess and Oberwei followed behind him. The Royal Faction, on the other hand, stood with Makarov, Fleetwood, and Buga guarding their side. Too bad Freya is not qualified to enter the Holy Cathedral, or else she would be able to intimidate these people! Brendel thought.

Brendel looked around, recognizing some of the faces from the crowd. These people were famous and strong NPCs back in the game. Most of them were Gold rankers from the north, even the weakest among them were still Silver Rankers. Brendel always dealt with them in the past, completing their tasks through their subordinates.

After all, Gold rankers were mostly n.o.bles with substantial t.i.tles. For example, the subordinates of Count Radner, except for Kodan, were high-ranking n.o.bles. Players of The Amber Sword were all inferior compared to these NPC in the early stages of the game and mainly relied on these NPC to obtain resources.

What was not expected was the fact that in today’s history of Ampere Seale, these people were mostly cannon fodder or pa.s.sersby. Brendel could not help but feel a little emotional. Suddenly, the hall became quiet, leaving only the sound of rus.h.i.+ng water,

The n.o.bles who had nothing to do with today, such as Duke Grinoires and Duke Viero’s subordinates, were mostly scared at this moment. They probably expected a change in the situation but did not expect both sides to betray each other so quickly. At this moment, they were forced to stay at the side by the priests and could only silently watch what was happening.

Only the Highland Knights and Bunide were standing in the middle of the hall where no priests were visible around them, making Brendel sigh, Awesome people will always stay awesome whenever they are.

As for Duke Arreck, he had silently left early on, unwilling to stay in the muddy water any longer. With the strength of the Hawk and the Silver Knight, no one outside the Holy Cathedral could actually stop them from escaping.
