Heroic Spirit Mode

A series of system notifications left Xiao Yu completely bewildered. The sheer volume of information he received in such a short time left him feeling somewhat overwhelmed and unable to calm down.

This has led to him becoming Blasphemous Saint, initiating Blasphemy Council, and attracting the attention of the God of Light. The impact is quite significant.

However, the most important thing right now is to divide the spoils.

The drops from the Light God Envoy were exceptionally good, with over a dozen items dropping this time. Her armor, amulet ring, and the holy sword in her hand were undoubtedly top-tier equipment. However, what interested Xiao Yu the most was the golden orb floating above her corpse—a fragment of the Light God Envoy's Soul Fire Fragment.

He hadn't expected that this thing could also produce Soul Fire Fragment.

In recent days, Undead players have discovered the value of Soul Fire Fragment, not to mention that they are dropped by a powerful boss.

Obviously, there are plenty of people who want this thing. Fortunately, he doesn't need to steal anything, because he has never needed equipment in any previous events and has been waiting for today. So, in terms of guild points alone, he is undoubtedly the most points-rich player in the entire guild, and he can just give out his points directly.

With that in mind, he immediately sent out the drop list.

"Alright everyone, as agreed before, those interested in equipment, please place your bids. This time, everything that drops will definitely be top-tier, so each item has a base score of 1000 DKP. Let's start with this Holy Sword."

An auction that appeared to be fair, just, and transparent immediately began.

Xiao Yu knew exactly how many DKP members there were in the guild. There were only about ten or eight people with more than 1,000 DKP. As one after another, these top-tier DKP items appeared, these DKP hogs couldn't help but start bidding.

Moreover, basically one hit is enough to bring a dominant player back to reality.

The equipment was distributed quickly, and by the time it came to the last Soul Fire, no one could compete with him anymore.

Even if he wanted to compete, he couldn't. Xiao Yu's dominance in guild points wasn't for nothing. As the guild leader, he participated in every activity and naturally earned the most guild points. But he figured he should save every little bit he could.

Moreover, the formalities still had to be followed. Although he was the chairman, he couldn't be too ruthless, so the auction process was still normal, and the item was sold out instantly for 1000 points.

After a predictable auction, amidst the envious and curious gazes of the other players, Xiao Yu obtained the Soul Fire.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the ball of Soul Fire. This golden Soul Fire was completely different from the azure Soul Fire he had obtained before. It didn't have that cold feeling; instead, it carried a warm heat that made Xiao Yu feel a strange sense of repulsion.

"Perhaps this is Undead instinct," he thought to himself, but he was also a little worried. "Could I really absorb this thing? Won't it cause some trouble?"

But who cares? In the end, it's just a game. Xiao Yu's current wealth allows him to be capricious when faced with such options.

So he gripped it tightly and absorbed the golden Soul Fire in one go.

For a moment, his vision blurred, and the next second, he found himself in a residential house.

Xiao Yu wasn't nervous; he knew this was a normal phenomenon when absorbing Soul Fire Fragment.

As he thought about it, he glanced around at the surroundings, following the line of sight. It looked like an ordinary-looking house.

His gaze swept across a mirror, Xiao Yu was surprised to see what the Light God Envoy like in life—a seemingly ordinary farm girl.

"Eifeld, where have you been playing again?" A very gentle and beautiful woman walked over. "Look how dirty you are. A girl like you, all you do is fool around all day."

"I'm learning swordsmanship from Uncle John. One day I'll become a valiant female knight!" Eifeld exclaimed.

"What kind of female knight are you? A proper lady should just find an old man to marry. Come inside with me and change your clothes."

A thick fog gradually rose around them, and the scene before them disappeared. Clearly, this memory fragment was also segmented. What appeared before them was a very open training ground, where Eifeld, dressed in full armor, was practicing swordsmanship with a bearded man.

With a loud bang, a beautiful backhand slash sent the longsword flying from the bearded man's hand.

The bearded man gave a wry smile. "Eifeld, I didn't expect your swordsmanship to improve so quickly. I have nothing more to teach you. Congratulations, you are now officially a female knight."

"Really, Uncle?" Eifeld exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, my knighthood must be inherited, and you are the most suitable candidate. However, you must remember Eifeld. As a knight, you possess more than just strength and courage. What truly matters is your faith and devotion. Always remember the knight's creed—turn your heart toward the light and your sword toward the darkness. Only when your heart is filled with light will this world become a better place."

"I will remember!" Eifeld nodded earnestly, his vision once again obscured by the fog.

"Hold on, hold on, Warrior, for glory!" Xiao Yu heard Eifeld's shouts, the clash of swords, and the dying screams gradually reaching his ears. Before him lay a scene of utter devastation; Eifeld and her soldiers seemed to be engaged in a difficult battle.

Hundreds of Gnoll are attacking her and dozens of soldiers.

In the distance, the walls of a town can be seen, and some farmers are frantically fleeing towards the inside of the walls.

"We can't win, let's run!" a soldier cried, dropping his sword and fleeing.

"Retreat, my lord! We can't hold out any longer!"

"No, we must wait until the civilians are safe before we retreat. That's a knight's creed." Eifeld brandished her sword forcefully, and Xiao Yu could feel her exhaustion.

"Damn it!" The soldier shook his head, turned, and ran after him.

In the end, only the female knight remained. Facing the siege of hundreds of Gnoll, she was finally outnumbered.

With a thud, the female knight was knocked to the ground, her vision filled with blood before she gradually fell into darkness.

The darkness lasted for an unknown period of time, perhaps very short, perhaps very long, until a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky. At this moment, Xiao Yu discovered that Eifeld was standing in the darkness, and the beam of light in the distance was exceptionally conspicuous.

He heard a voice in his ear. "Come into my light."

Eifeld instinctively walked towards the light, and as she stepped into it...

Xiao Yu discovered that Eifeld's soul was rising, continuously ascending within the pillar of light. When the light dissipated, he found Eifeld in a temple.

A kind, white-haired old man, radiating a soft glow, was smiling at her.

Around the old man stood a dozen or so people, men and women, each radiating a dazzling light. They were all exceptionally radiant and exuded an aura of holiness.

"Who are you?"

"I am the God of Light. Welcome to the Land of Light, my child. Your unwavering commitment to justice and your inner light and courage have moved me. Today, I bestow upon you divine power. Accept this blessing!"

A beam of light descended upon her, and powerful energy focused on her soul. Xiao Yu could sense Eifeld's joy and excitement.

When the light faded, Eifeld had transformed into the form of the Light God Envoy.

"The ritual I performed on you was Holy Spirit Ritual, which only those whose hearts are filled with light are qualified to perform. Now, you are one of my messengers; join them."

As the God of Light spoke, he pointed to the group beside him. Eifeld nodded and walked toward the group on the left. Suddenly, Xiao Yu saw a familiar face among the group of Light God Envoy.

Lilith!? Xiao Yu was taken aback, wondering what was going on. How could she be here? Or was he seeing things?

Because all angels looked pretty much the same to him, Xiao Yu strongly suspected that it was just his imagination. But when he tried to look again, his vision was once again covered by fog.

Then, we returned to reality.

System notification: You have learned the ability— Holy Spirit's Will (passive skill)—from the memories of the Light God Envoy Eifeld.

System notification: Skill fusion in progress, template error detected, skill fusion failed.

System notification: Character information retrieval in progress, optional fusion items unlocked, skill secondary fusion in progress, skill fusion successful, character information changes completed.

System notification: Your skill [Holy Spirit's Will] has been changed to [Heroic Spirit Avatar]. Your character template has changed; your base character template has changed from Undead to Undead / Celestial Realm Creature.

Xiao Yu was taken aback, wondering what was going on. He quickly opened his skill bar to check.

Skill Name: Heroic Spirit Avatar.

Skill Description: Divine will infuses your entire body, your template changes from Undead to heroic spirit. In this state, you are immune to all exorcism and Dispel skills, can be healed by positive energy, and can be damaged by negative energy. Your attacks are imbued with divine energy, and your battle servants change from skeleton soldiers to heroic spirit Warrior.

Holy crap, is this even possible?

He tried using the Heroic Spirit Avatar skill, and in an instant, golden light emanated from his divine magic. His appearance in life gradually emerged, covering his body made of skeletons and bones. He looked no different from a living person, except that his eyes were filled with golden flames. In addition, he had a faint translucent quality and exuded a holy aura.

Xiao Yu glanced at his class and was shocked to find it had changed to Level 4 Heroic Spirit/Level 7 Blasphemous Saint.

The skill bar contains [Summon Minions/Skeleton Soldiers].

It also became...

[Summon Attendants/Heroic Warrior].

Xiao Yu was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected that absorbing a Soul Fire Fragment would directly give him a specialization. Well, strictly speaking, he was still the Skeleton General, just with an additional Heroic Spirit Form that he could turn on and off at any time.

I took a look at the class descriptions for the Heroic Spirits.

Heroic Spirits: Strange beings who are the souls of heroes who died in war, awakened by divine power and transformed into spirits. Unlike ordinary Undead, heroic spirits are considered sacred spiritual beings, transcending the boundaries of life and death, and are immune to Dispel and exorcism spells.
