Chapter 664: Overload
A thick layer of fog suddenly appeared in the small square outside Saint Ryd Hospital, spreading in every direction.
The bright lights grew dim, flickering in and out of view.
Even the high-powered searchlights newly installed outside the hospital lawn now resembled night-lights of only a few watts, completely unable to provide the illumination they should have.
Yet the people inside the hospital noticed none of this. They went about their own business.
They ignored a group of strange figures in robes, swords hanging at their waists, as they passed.
Three of them walked straight out of the hospital building, while the remaining two knelt before the [Statue of Sister Reed], praying softly.
Hum!
Amid their prayers, a glow roughly an inch thick lit up around the lifelike statue.
A power beyond ordinary human understanding settled over the three who had walked outside.
Their auras immediately began to soar.
Qin Ran sucked in a sharp breath.
Standing in the shadows, he felt a chill.
After noticing the unusual explosion, he had rushed out of his ward, arriving only slightly later than these five people and just in time to witness the prayers and blessing.
That was precisely why he was so shocked.
Previously, the three had been only slightly stronger than ordinary people, comparable to elite soldiers. Now, however, they had surpassed the limits of the ordinary human body, reaching a level akin to martial artists.
To put it more simply: someone whose attributes had hovered around E+ had suddenly reached C.
This was no longer merely a leap in rank, but a complete qualitative transformation.
Did they use some secret technique to draw out the statue's power?
Qin Ran quickly calmed down, but his gaze turned strange as he looked at the [Statue of Sister Reed].
