Holy Avenger.

A very special advanced profession.

The name originated from a weapon called the ' Holy Avenger '. Whether it was Artifact is hard to say; it's only known that it was stronger than the Artifact [Morningstar], but unfortunately, it has been lost to history. The Legendary Paladin who wielded this weapon went through many trials, the specifics of which are unknown. All that is known is that he eventually fell from grace and became the first Holy Avenger.

In that era.

The Lord of Radiance, or the Lord of Morning, had only recently experienced the Dawn Rebellion. The Goddess of Luck and the God of Decay died because of the Lord of Morning's obsessive Justice, and from his corpse sprang the Goddess of Fortune and the Goddess of Misfortune. The Gods also tried to stop his overly selfless, passionate, and fanatical beliefs to prevent further destruction of the world. Unfortunately, the Gods still could not stop the Dawn Rebellion. The Goddess of Fortune and the Goddess of Misfortune, who split from the Goddess of Luck after her death, caused the Gods' Alignment to split once again. [Knowledge: <The Birth of the Twin Goddesses>.]

From that point onward, the Lord of Morning's Alignment shifted, moving from Neutral Good to Lawful Good.

Ultimately, the most powerful Lord of Radiance was born!

His descendants inherited the Portfolio of the Light of Dawn, and he himself replaced the God of Justice as the most powerful Deity in the Lawful Good Alignment!

The Paladin's second faith also began to shift toward him.

There are far fewer Paladin believe in the God of Justice Paladin of the Lord of Radiance.

After the Lord of Morning became the Lord of Radiance, the Mother of the Earth began to retire, and the Goddess of Agriculture replaced her as the New Deity. No one knows what happened during that period, but to this day, the Lord of Radiance has always been at the forefront of the fight against Evil. The Lord of Radiance even launched a war to counterattack the Abyss, and if the Elemental Gods hadn't refused to help him, the Abyss might have been sealed away by him. After all, the Four Elemental Archgods are all Greater Divinity who have defeated Demon armies more than once in the past.

The Abyss, initially seeking to unify the Multiverse, was immediately routed by the Elemental Army! [The Four Elemental Archgods joined forces to defeat the first wave of the Demon Legion.]

The Demon then decided to focus on winning the [Blood War] first.

Soren moved through the shadows.

In his memory, the City of Wealth had never been destroyed, so today's riots should be quelled quickly, and the Temple of Wealth should be making its move soon.

really.

Shortly after Soren's departure, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky above the Temple of Wealth, and squads of fully armed golden knights appeared, led by Wealth Cleric Temple Knight Order with jewels. The millennia-old foundation of the Great Temple was revealed at this moment. Squads of Temple Knight began to assemble, hundreds of high-ranking Guard Knight equipped with gleaming golden armor, rushing towards the direction where the Demon had appeared.

A phantom appeared above the Temple of Wealth, seemingly watching over the city.

That was Holy Spirit Cleric.

Legendary priest, after relinquishing his physical body, transformed into Holy Spirit to protect a place that has existed for hundreds of years.

My heart started beating faster and faster.

Soren's initial feeling resurfaced; he could sense that Vivian was in the city, but he couldn't pinpoint her exact location.

The rushing blood gave Soren a headache, and his temples throbbed uncontrollably.

He didn't know why this happened!

He could faintly smell blood, not the stench of blood after Slaughter, but a different kind of blood smell—a blood smell that made him uneasy.

The scent of blood that could leave such a deep impression on Soren seems to be something only a single Spell could accomplish!

A streak of silver light shot through the air.

The Silver Hand finally appeared before the world, but instead of rushing towards the place where the Demon appeared, it flew towards the tower further away. Strange figures approached from all sides. The Holy Spirit Cleric seemed to notice something, materializing amidst the golden light and flying towards that direction. Soren's heart pounded faster and faster, his muscles bulged as if about to explode, twisted veins appeared like earthworms, and even a dark blue tinge appeared on his face.

The heartbeat gradually slowed down.

Soren gasped for breath and knelt on one knee. This bizarre change was completely beyond his control. It seemed to be caused by some other force that had led to this physical transformation. This change was very likely related to the Fear Divinity, because Soren had never encountered anything like this before. He felt his heart pounding uncontrollably, as if something inside him was about to burst forth.

What Soren saw was tinged with red.

This was because his pupils were excessively bloodshot; he had spotted the Vampire. These Dark Creature moved across the rooftops with astonishing agility, their natural agility reaching around 20 points. Several other people appeared, and as if by telepathy, Soren suddenly noticed a man with a cold face rushing from the direction of the City Guard. He seemed to have also spotted him, but without stopping, he moved towards the Silver Hand.

Something big must have happened over there!

Soren gritted his teeth and walked towards that direction. His body gradually became uncontrollable; his rapidly beating heart and boiling blood almost rendered him incapacitated. He staggered forward. Perhaps if he found Vivian, he could understand what had happened. Beads of sweat poured from his body and quickly evaporated. His body temperature was rising higher and higher, his skin as red as a scalded shrimp. Soren's mind was gradually becoming blurred, and his vision was almost failing.

His heart rate would occasionally slow down a little, but it would quickly pick up again; he even felt like his heart was about to explode.

Rumble!

A sudden explosion came from afar, followed by a tremor in the ground.

"Soren?!"

A familiar yet exaggerated voice rang out, followed by a short, furtive figure frantically fleeing from the corner. He glanced at the staggering Soren, seemingly wanting to reach out and support him, but then withdrew his fingers as if touching a red-hot iron, muttering, "God! It's so hot! You're practically roasted alive!"

Soren regained some of his senses.

He looked up and opened his eyes, seeing Aladdin standing before him, with a bewitching woman behind him. However, Soren saw two other faces: the first was human, and the other was covered in tiny silver scales, a feature unique to only one kind of creature.

Yuan-ti!?

Soren seemed to remember something, and said in an unusually hoarse voice, as if he hadn't drunk water in a long time, "Snake? Yuan-ti? Vivian!"

Where is Vivian?

He suddenly moved with lightning speed, even faster than before, grabbing the woman's arm in the blink of an eye. Her arm quickly turned red, as if it had been plunged into boiling water. She showed a look of pain and cried out, "Let me go!... Master!... Master went to deal with the Fear God Child!... It's so hot!... Let go!...!"

Fear God Child?

Vivian? Oh no! She's in danger!

Soren's spirit seemed to have recovered a little. Vivian's image appeared in his mind, and his will gradually took control of his body. His pupils had dilated to about twice their normal size, and his body temperature was approaching 80 or 90 degrees Celsius; he was practically steaming.

He took a slow, deep breath.

Unbeknownst to him, Soren's fingers had turned slightly black, and his eyes were bloodshot. After taking a few deep breaths, he suddenly leaped up, jumping to the height of three or four stories, and then sped towards the source of the noise.

"How is that possible!?"

Aladdin, left speechless, muttered, "That power, that speed, that jumping ability!... Has Soren advanced to Legendary?...?"

The top of a towering building.

Plane man gazed at the city engulfed in flames, his pupils blood-red, a cruel smile playing on his lips. Like a king of the night, he looked down upon the city, uttering intoxicatingly, "Blood, Slaughter, and madness!"

"The foolish Joker have made their appearance!... I smell fear spreading!..."

"Go mad!... Slaughter!... Fear!... Feel the despair descend upon you in fear!... You clever idiots!... Give me your final performance!..."

--"Vampiric Feast!" [Epic Spell]

A crimson wave swept outwards, causing the blood of all living things within a 500-meter radius to boil. Sisi of blood overflowed from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, surging forth like a torrent! These creatures, enveloped by the Spell, instantly turned into desiccated corpses. Countless streams of blood spread out, and then ghostly shadows appeared on the corpses. These semi- Spiritual Body beings rose from their bodies and then vanished into the darkness, gradually disappearing into the night.

The entire tower was stained crimson with blood, resembling a scene from Hell descending upon the world.

(P. S.: It seems like the Black Fututu daily quest is popular lately? I checked the results in the backend, and it's definitely better than before. No wonder there are more people doing the Black Pagoda quest. Seriously, this is such a sincere work of mine, every word is a labor of love. I even had to go through the painstaking process of completing the Plane to the point of having to study relativity to fill in the gaps. Please, be a little more lenient with your criticism!)

Finally, although I couldn't understand those books at all, they seemed so impressive. -- A dizzy-headed Futuzi. (To be continued~^~)
