Four Split Personalities

[Arc of Holy Light] is one of the Divine Arts recently mastered by Yu Chen. Surpassing level twenty, unlike Motan, who spent most of his time directing others while slacking off, she had been passively honing her Divine Arts almost every day over the past two months. Relying on her own understanding and newly learned Skills from Skill Books, she acquired a total of six new abilities. Her rate of improvement could be considered exceptional by most players and genius by NPCs.

As for Motan, who had also spent two months in Misha County, the only personal achievement he had during this time was the mastery of [True Words of Barrier]. This showed that Ger’s previous assertion about him lacking talent in Divine Arts was indeed quite accurate.

However, the true [Arc of Holy Light] is not at all what it appeared to be because it is not an offensive Skill. In most cases, the so-called Arc of Holy Light should be a bright band of light overflowing with radiance, capable of restoring a small amount of Health Points to its targets, and increase the effectiveness of other Dawn Arcanum healing effects over time. No matter how powerful the Spellcaster, it would at most only produce a few more arcs of light...

But no matter what, this Divine Art could not possibly give rise to a pair of golden spears carved with eerie patterns.

The mercenaries and Adventurers might be fine, but for the few High Order Righteous Knights and Tero who were well-versed in multiple Sects within the alliance, this was somewhat perplexing, especially for Tero who had spent most of his life within the Church of the Dawn. His jaw nearly dropped when those two spears pierced through seven or eight Mutants and dispersed into two cold glows of flame.

Although he couldn’t tell what it was, one thing was for sure...

That was certainly not a Dawn Arcanum!

In fact, that thing was indeed not a Dawn Arcanum.

[Spear of Midnight] (Activated during Brilliant Holy Radiance)

Dark power active Skill

Mastery Requirement: Follower of the Dark Goddess Delia, Wisdom 35

Cost/Limit: 70 Magic Points, 50 Faith Points

Effect: Creates two spears shaped from Shadow Energy, causing moderate Dark damage to a designated target within fifteen meters, and for thirty seconds, reduces the Shadow Resistance of units damaged by Spear of Midnight by 15%. Each unit pierced reduces the spear’s damage by 10%. Cooldown time 8 minutes.

[Note: String your heart, his heart, add two pounds of sauce wine, sprinkle with pepper, and a pinch of salt~]

That’s right, under the influence of Yu Chen’s [Unstable Divine Favor] Talent, the Skill that should have been a small-scale healing technique, [Arc of Holy Light], had completely transformed into some kind of offensive Dark Magic. Moreover, due to the nature of her Talent, its damage was doubled, and the cooldown period was reduced to four minutes!

The few Mutants charging at the defense line were skewered on the spears, flung several meters away, their filthy negative energy cleanly expelled by the power of Shadow, dying without uttering a sound.

But this did not mean the situation was safe...

Thousands of Mutants that had burst through the fire were too numerous to be bothered by the loss of seven or eight, let alone seventy or eighty, and these fearless undead still crazily surged from all directions, pushing into the chapel’s outer square in less than two minutes, forcing Snow Mane and others back to the stairs.

"Your Highness the Saintess! Please hide inside the chapel quickly!"

The multitude of Monsters made Snow Mane quickly discard the earlier anomaly from her mind. She stayed close to her mount, relying on the protection of the Gorlu beast while madly swinging her giant hammer. The wrathful red glow surging upon it was powerful enough that even a slight brush was enough to ’purify’ any Mutant in its path.

But there were just too many enemies...

"Sorry, Sister Snow Mane, it’s no use for me to go back now."

Yu Chen smiled softly. The moment she unleashed those two [Spear of Midnight], she was in combat mode, unable to log off normally unless all those thousands of Mutants crowded together were dead. If for some reason she was forcefully disconnected, her body in the Realm of Innocence would stay there, so she did not retreat into the chapel, and even stepped forward, stopping a short distance behind the defensive line of the princess’s guard, and smiling, "So let me help."

Another battered High Order Righteous Knight smiled wryly, shaking his head and gestured, "Don’t be like this, Your Highness. Your life is worth much more than ours."

"No one’s life is worth more than anyone else’s."

Yu Chen gently stroked the Holy Scripture spread out in her palm, casting a ribbon of golden light as smooth as satin. It brushed over the Knight before bouncing quickly towards Tero beside him. As the light, which was not particularly bright, faded, a third of their somewhat light wounds were surprisingly healed.

Even though it didn’t trigger any additional buffs, the [Life Link] scored a critical hit in healing. Looking solely at the numbers, this ordinarily modest Divine Art let Tero regain 30% of his Health Points, and even the High-Level Knight recovered nearly 20% of his Health Points.

Tero, who was starting to feel anxious, opened his mouth, "But Your Highness..."

"Focus, Mr. Tero."

Yu Chen blinked her eyes, and with another Healing Prayer triggered by her multiple Talents, she managed to staunch the bleeding of Snow Mane’s Gorlu beast, smiling and said, "I didn’t stay to die with everyone here, so please protect me. Accordingly, I will also try my best to protect everyone."
