Chapter 1231 - Templar (4) (1/2)
The three first tier Dukes froze hearing Dyon's response. Even they didn't understand why they were so surprised. Of all the True Gods, this young man could have only been Dyon Sacharro. Not only were the other True Gods known too widely for them to not have recognized him earlier, the only True God that could possibly still have essence gathering cultivation was Dyon.
Still, hearing the name itself gave them cause to pause. This was a young man that held first place on four of the five God trial rankings. This was a young man that was the target of so much speculation and conversation. A young man the whole cosmos wanted to see was standing right before them. How could they not be shocked?
Sir Ulric quickly recollected himself, staring down Dyon's vacant gaze as he brandished his lance. ”No matter who you are, you cannot pass here. Since you wanted to know so badly, King Percival's castle is located at the very center. In fact, you caught him at quite a good time. Usually he would be tempering himself on the celestial floors, he only came home after hearing news that his son had gone missing.”
”You plan to fight me?” Dyon's voice was bland and completely devoid of emotion. It lacked any of his usual arrogant flair or overwhelming confidence. Instead, it was as though nothing mattered at all…
”The prestige of The Grand Templar Sect cannot be questioned!” Sir Ulric roared, using his energies to dissipate the effects of Dyon's Presence on his soldiers and their mounts.
Celestial energy had many special properties one of which included the locking down of space. This was why teleportation arrays of a low level were useless before celestials. However, it had to be said that the locking down of space was a derivative of the central ability of celestial energy, not an ability in and of itself.
The reason the pseudo-domain was usually a strictly celestial ability is because celestial energy deepens the connection a person has with the universe. Only celestials could begin to dictate and manipulate the rules set by the universe itself, albeit on a small scale.
It's this control that celestials have that results in the locking down of space. It's also because of this ability that the soul is still seen as a lesser path despite its good effects on will comprehension. Why waste your time following the soul path to deepen your comprehension when the energy path can fulfill the same goal while also giving you more battle prowess?
Still, it would be impossible for Ulric to neutralize Dyon's Presence like this had it not been for his protective treasure. However, the combination of the two once more increased Dyon's enemies to more than thirty thousand.
Did that really matter though? Even if Dyon wasn't in a completely selfless state, even if he was conscious, would he care about having so many weak enemies?
”Then die.”
The words were simple. There were no added hysterics, nor was there any rage behind them. It was as though Dyon was an Emperor, writing laws into effect with the wave of his hand. Since he said they would die, then they would die!
Sir Merek and Sir Tybalt immediately brandished their weapons, feeling the looming hand of death hovering over their lives.
