Ascension

"What kind of terrifying being is that?"

The Messiah hid under the dragon's wings, gazing at the sky, blood streaming from his eyes.

She was relieved.

Fortunately, her people were holding a ceremony and all had their heads bowed, none daring to look up. Otherwise, just seeing that giant skeletal hand would have killed many of them!

"Not good!"

Ham screamed as he saw the giant skeletal hand descend.

Sulu needs to perform a ritual; how should we deal with this attack?

Even if they manage to withstand the attack in the end, the ritual will inevitably fail!

Whoosh!

Just then, another ' Sulu ' appeared in mid-air, with a large number of pale chains spreading from its body.

--Spirit Chain!

Numerous chains reached into the void, constantly interlocking, seemingly forming a giant net of iron chains.

The giant skeletal hand pressed down, landing on the spiderweb of chains, instantly forming pale flames that scorched the mysterious symbols on the bones.

The giant hand seemed to possess indescribable power, pressing down relentlessly and creating a terrifying indentation in the giant net.

They were just a hair's breadth away from landing in the royal city!

But that one point, like a certain limit, or an indestructible reef, prevented the giant hand from crossing that line any further!

"That was close."

The Shadow Clone stared at the giant hand and the frantic shouts emanating from it, and muttered a sentence.

The Material World is the most strictly governed layer of the world, designed to protect weaker creatures.

If this were in the Dream Spirit World, where the rules are distorted and the opponent could freely unleash the power of their Mythical Body, I wouldn't be able to stop this attack at all.

But now?

This sixth-tier being had just been unsealed and weakened by the rules of the Material World, coupled with the fact that he was a legendary figure with two fifth-tier beings, had multiple advantageous factors combined to barely withstand the attack, demonstrating the terror of the sixth-tier being!

Within the royal city.

Many of the worshippers had already noticed the commotion above and were trying to look up.

But the immense majesty directly oppressed them, making it impossible for them to even lift their necks, and at the same time, it seemed as if many sounds had been lost from their ears.

"Oh no, we managed to block it once, but what about the second time?"

"Even if we manage to withstand it all, this is clearly more terrifying than we imagined!"

Messiah and Ham watched this scene with anxious and worried expressions on their faces.

Another location is the Church of Mother Earth.

The elderly ascetic gazed at this scene, a look of joy appearing on his face. "This is... the legendary Bone Overlord, who was said to have vanished from history with the destruction of the Church of Death?"

As a member of a powerful, influential force, he was even more aware of the inside story.

"This is a sixth-tier professional... Was it the ' Spirit Sacrifice ' ritual that attracted him here? I didn't expect him to still be alive... The Dragon Slayer is in trouble this time; he might perish because of it..."

In his view, even if the ritual is completed, the other party has only passed one hurdle from legend to myth, and there is still a long way to go.

At this point, the Bone Overlord would obviously not give the Dragon Slayer any more time.

Even with the weakening effect of the Material World, it goes without saying that a sixth-order being can easily crush a fifth-order being.

As long as the opponent fully descends into the Material World with their Mythical Body, they can definitely kill the Dragon Slayer!

"Furthermore... having awakened prematurely, broken the seal, and recklessly killed a legendary-level professional in the Material World, this Bone Overlord must also pay the price; his condition is definitely not good..."

"If we risk forcibly awakening the Church's hidden strength, perhaps there's still a chance to suppress and seal away the Bone Overlord..."

The ascetic elder calculated rapidly. "No... we can't let this plan damage the foundation of the Holy See. Those top professionals are the Holy See's only hope for continuing to exist in this world..."

"But in any case, the Dragon Slayer is in danger!"

"I hereby declare the ceremony concluded!"

On the altar, Sulu ignored the nervousness or smugness of the outsiders, meticulously completed the ceremony, and finally announced the results.

"Everyone, do not look at the sky, do not listen to any sounds."

Then, he issued a warning in a deep voice, and his figure flew into the air, joining forces with his Shadow Clone who was already there to fight against the giant white bone hand falling from the sky.

At this moment, as the black hole expanded, two skeletal arms emerged!

"Tsk tsk... Pretty impressive, huh?"

"However, judging from their aura, they are related to the Church of Death and should be professionals specializing in death-related skills..."

Level 5 and Level 6 professionals find it difficult to secure employment, and even the career itself is difficult to plan and design.

The foundation of this world is shallow; its greatest potential lies outside the world, such as divine gifts.

In Sulu's mind, the entity Bone Burial Ground was clearly related to Lady Moon's Church.

"Tsk tsk... If its fully evolved form came, it could probably crush the two of us."

Sulu looked at the Shadow Clone, exchanged a smile, and showed no sign of tension.

Some distance from the Royal Capital, in an underground cave.

"The Spirit Sacrifice ritual is complete?"

Sulu opened his eyes. "Thanks to the help of the Arrogant School, we successfully stalled the Mother Earth Church. The other fifth-tier creatures didn't make a move either. Only that sixth-tier Bone Professional came to cause trouble... It's alright that my two Shadow Clone died, but the Royal Capital probably going to suffer a calamity."

That's right!

Not only the Guardian, but even ' Sulu,' who presided over the ceremony, was Shadow Clone!

That was his plan!

Never expose your true body to danger. If any danger arises, your Shadow Clone will take the hit. We're not afraid of losing them!

"Fortunately, although it was a struggle, we managed to finish it. Now, it's time for the promotion."

With Attribute Panel, there's no rush for promotions.

His promotion is naturally for the sake of the Royal Capital.

Otherwise, even if he himself was unharmed, he would still feel somewhat guilty for sacrificing Messiah, Ham, and tens of thousands of people in the Royal Capital had helped him.

Anyway, as long as the conditions are met, there's never been a time when he'll fail to get promoted!

Sulu brought up the Attribute Panel, his eyes gleaming:

[Job Change Requirements 1: Prerequisite jobs: Planeswalker, Eclipse Mage (completed)]

[Job Change Requirements 2: Strength 20.0, Agility 20.0, Constitution 20.0, Spirit 30.0 (Completed)]

[Job Change Requirement 4: ' Spirit Sacrifice ' Ritual (Completed)]

[All prerequisites have been met. 100,000 experience points have been consumed. You are now Spirit Mage!]

A wealth of data quickly emerged.

This time, however, a completely different scene unfolded during the job change.

A look of astonishment appeared on Sulu's face.

He saw his perfect body, where his spirit and flesh had merged into one, begin to annihilate!

It started in the fingers, then quickly spread to the arms, shoulders, and chest!

After the limbs disappeared, the remaining torso and head also turned to ashes and continued to dissipate.

In the blink of an eye.

Sulu's body had vanished, as if he had never existed in this world!
