Only a hero who bathes in dragon blood and moves forward without looking back is worthy of this sword, blessed by the deities—
Fang Hong turned his head to look at the Big Cat People; among the people, only the Lion Paladin had yet to step forward.
The latter smiled, twirling the ring on his whiskers with a claw, "Do you really want me to do it? I fear it might be overwhelmed by my heroic presence, and then the rest of you won't get a chance."
Tianlan chuckled, "You should first make sure, Brother Ade didn't buy a counterfeit, Big Cat People."
"I am inclined to trust Ade's judgment."
"Oh come now, enough boasting, go ahead and try it, Big Cat People!"
"Shall I really go then?"
"Mr. Reed, please hurry."
Fang Hong sighed as well.
To defeat the foe, this is the brave adage. This is also the only sword among the five that is blessed by the Lady of Valor, Marlan.
He believed he could see what was different about the Holy Sword because he was favored by Marlan.
And among the people, there was a true follower of the War Goddess, though the Big Cat People had no system, it would soon be clear.
Reed stepped forward, his silver armor glowing in the moonlight, radiant and splendorous, he looked at the sword in the case, hesitating before extending a claw to place it on the hilt.
At that very moment, the moonlight outside the window escaped the clouds' shadow.
The bright silver rays shone onto the lake's surface, as if the dark waters were emitting silverlight, and the entire Lake Tear of Obey suddenly became bright.
A beam of light rose from the body of the sword; although it only lasted a brief moment, afterward it returned to peace.
The sword still remained in Big Cat People's hand, seemingly unchanged, and outside the window, the lake waters returned to their calm, as if what had just happened was an illusion.
But Fang Hong heard a few distant exclamations from across the dark lakeshore, from the direction of Patchiwa's port.
"How is it, how is it," Tianlan witnessed the incredible scene before, but everyone said it might have been an illusion, she couldn't help but eagerly ask: "Has there been any change?"
The Big Cat People didn't answer, he just brought the sword towards them, letting them see for themselves.
He rotated the sword blade, the blade reflecting the bright light of the lake.
Tianlan widened her eyes, finally seeing the mottled rust on the sword's blade had vanished without a trace, it was chilling and exuded a brilliant azure glow.
But besides that, it seemed rather ordinary, the sword blade was plain without any embellishment, and did not seem to carry the weight of history. It seemed nothing more than a plain longsword.
But in Fang Hong's eyes, the sword was utterly different from before:
Holy Sword (???)
Attack Power: 427—661
(Sealing)
Favor of Courage: Fear immunity.
Holy Covenant: When using all spells and abilities with [Holy] affix, it has the effect of Divine Might.
It had no rank or classification visible, it wasn't even called Foe Slayer nor Dragon's Bane Holy Sword.
Yet just the two words 'Holy Sword' carried enough weight.
So much so that the attack power section below wasn't even sufficiently shocking, although an average damage of about five hundred was significant enough to be encapsulated in four words.
Unbreakable and unstoppable.
In the First World, there is no armor capable of stopping it, all protective measures are nullified in the face of such sharpness.
And even in the sealed state, the Holy Sword's three abilities each have their merits.
Fear immunity might seem normal, but it is essential for combating large creatures, especially those with Dragon Attributes.
It also nullifies a third of the Illusionists' abilities.
As for Marlan's Holy Covenant, it defies the Knights of Virtue. The so-called Divine Might capability is precisely the core ability of the Knights of Virtue, and it originally comes from the name of a core spell—Virtue Might.
Under different blessings of knightly virtues, the spells of the Paladins would exhibit different astonishing effects.
Among them, the Seal of Valor increases spell damage and efficacy.
Realm of Honesty leaves enemies nowhere to hide.
Compassion enhances healing power.
Justice spells always hit.
Sacrifice damages oneself to defeat the enemy, terrifying the foe.
Honor noble in silence, indispellable.
Soul resilient, fearless, immune to mind.
The Knights of Virtue have eight adages, although Marlan's Divine Might is not entirely equivalent, it at least encompasses four domains:
Valor, Justice, Honor, and Soul, and the sword's abilities have no usage limit.
The wielder of this sword is akin to half a Knight of Virtue, whereas the latter needs to spend a great amount of time learning how to wield their own abilities, adhering to the adages.
The might of the Holy Sword, as can be seen.
The room was quiet for a moment.
Parker's eyes, like black beans, were wide and round, and his mouth was shaped like an O:
"Whoa, is it for real?"
The Papalarian was so excited his plump face was contorted, exclaiming with jealousy: "Unfair!"
Then he ran off without looking back.
Ai Xiaoxiao hurried after to check, and after a while, she returned to tell everyone that Parker had gone back to his room to fiddle with his Xinsas Era Magic Guided Conductor.
He now believed it to be a legendary Magic Guided Conductor.
The Big Cat People chuckled speechlessly.
He held the sword, saying to everyone: "Even if it doesn't count as a Divine Artifact, it's at least a Holy Relic."
A Holy Relic is ranked between a legend and a Divine Artifact, and whether it be a Semi-Divine Artifact, Divine Artifact, or High Divine Artifact, they are actually one and the same, with no distinction in the system, but simply a way that Invokers conventionally differentiate the ranks of Divine Artifacts.
Thus, a Holy Relic is second only to a Divine Artifact, belonging to the second rank.
