Chapter 414: Lionheart Baron
The Holy Spirit hovered high in the sky, the threads of magic power in its hands trembling with its turbulent emotions.
Its initially shocked gaze focused on Hilbert's transformation, then immediately shifted toward the corner where the Sage was hidden.
It could not make out the Sage's actual figure, but it could see his unfathomable radiance.
An image involuntarily surfaced in the Holy Spirit's mind, as though it could see the Sage giving an inscrutable smile.
"Did Dawn really once have nine sages like this...?"
Given the overwhelming disadvantage during the ancient Dark Tide, the true reason humanity and the world had survived was self-evident to the Holy Spirit.
Well... what actually happened was this.
Qin Xiaoxia could not help staring with his eyes wide open, barely managing to keep his mouth shut.
Had his magic power not already spread throughout Hilbert's body in finely divided strands when this began, he might not have been able to observe that astonishing transformation.
For a moment, even he had thought he had miscalculated Hilbert's tolerance and killed him with more stimulation than he could withstand. Thankfully, the fright came with a pleasant surprise.
Or perhaps Hilbert really had died at that moment. The one who died was his former self, and when he was reborn in an instant, the eruption of psychic power caught even Qin Xiaoxia, the instigator, completely off guard.
It erupted as fast as a genuine explosion, yet rebuilt a magnificent framework for his soul on a microscopic level. In that instant, the spirit born of his mind possessed a weight beyond physical substance.
At the same time, both Qin Xiaoxia and the Holy Spirit could sense that the Lionheart King Sword and Hilbert had truly forged an incredible connection, as though they were one.
