On the road, Le Yu had already used the excuse of "I really admire the fame of the Divine Weapon" and a piece of jewelry worth dozens of Gold Coins as payment to touch Chen Chenchen's Divine Weapon, Veil of Discord.
Naturally, he had not wanted to transform the Saint's Relic into the Veil of Discord. He had only wanted to understand the effects of other divine weapons.
The Veil of Discord was clearly a field-type divine weapon specifically designed to give Sword Hiders an advantageous environment. Throughout Radiance, every martial artist except Sword Hiders would practically become an ordinary person in darkness—indeed, they would fare even worse than ordinary people.
If the limit of the human body was 10, then an ordinary person's abilities could reach 15 under normal lighting, but would drop to 5 in darkness. A martial artist's abilities, meanwhile, were at least 80 under normal lighting, yet would plummet to 8 in darkness!
An ordinary person would at most be weakened by two-thirds, while a martial artist would be weakened by at least ninety percent!
That kind of disparity was enough to crush anyone's mental endurance!
Of course, not every kind of darkness could produce such an effect.
Even on the darkest night, there would still be some moonlight, along with illumination from flames, lamps, and the like. Martial artists could generally retain more than forty percent of their strength. If they stood beneath a lamp, they could even perform at one hundred percent.
That was why there were large numbers of lighting devices along the streets throughout Radiance. The government supported it, and the people needed it. Even though this world had no Edison, it had still managed to pile up enough black technology to create solar-powered streetlamps.
But the Veil of Discord was different.
