Fordring's Past, the Sixth Hero (Thanks to Balanced Passerby for the 10,000-point tip (continued)
Moreover... this is a skill that Fordring Knight awakened after Metamorphosis a hero, indicating that there is a certain connection between this weapon and him.
"Ask him later, see if he can find out where this weapon is."
Shen Xing secretly made up her mind.
Then I opened the panels for both characters and viewed their complete attributes.
[Hero: Gorehowl]
[Class: War Knight]
[Level: 25 (Tier Three)]

[Hero: Tirion Fordring]

"Not bad, not bad. Their attributes are already overwhelming compared to others of the same level, even surpassing those of Overlord Rank creatures."
"Moreover, thanks to the blessing of the Golden Ancient Tree, their aptitude has reached over 80."
"Old Knight Fordring has reached the pinnacle of God-Gifted."
Shen Xing became more and more satisfied as he looked at it.
It must be said that the Golden Ancient Tree has been a tremendous help to the territory.
Not only does it dramatically increase the overall aptitude of all members, but it also provides additional attribute bonuses.
Furthermore, his 'Life-Sacrifice Evolution' can increase even more attributes.
This makes it as easy for every general in the territory to kill enemies of higher ranks as eating and drinking.
Even the Common soldiers could take on two or three opponents at once.
It's fair to say that any orc he randomly picked from his territory could serve as a general in other territories.
The truly strong are numerous, and everyone is like a dragon.
Now.
The two new heroes have completed their breakthroughs, and their auras have gradually returned to calm.
They walked firmly to Shen Xing and bowed respectfully.
"Boss/Lord, we have successfully advanced!"
Shen Xing nodded slightly. "Very good. Keep up the good work and strive to improve your level."
"Strive to reach the maximum level of Tier Three as soon as possible, and then I will help you break through to Tier Four and enter the realm of Master."
The two new heroes raised their heads, their eyes filled with excitement and determination.
"If I can advance to the Master, I should be able to utilize some of the divine power sealed within me," Old Fordring remarked with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing's eyes showed doubt. "Sealed divine power?"
"Yes," Fordring Fording replied, "It was an extremely powerful force, a divine power that I awakened under the guidance of a certain will after I lost everything."
"The reason I was able to withstand the attacks of Tier Four monsters with my Tier Three body was because I used this power."
Shen Xing nodded in realization.
He did know that this paladin was different from the other units.
The other party was summoned to the territory with their memories intact.
Therefore, with each advancement, a portion of the power from one's previous life is awakened.
After a moment's thought, Shen Xing asked another question, "Fordring Fording, what is your relationship with the legendary weapon 'Ashbringer'?"
"Also, do you know where this weapon is now?"
Upon hearing this question, Fordring paused for a moment, seemingly recalling something.
After a moment, he slowly said, "This is a weapon with a legendary history. It was once a messenger of justice, and it was also the embodiment of evil."
"I once used it to pierce the heart of a fallen king, ending the catastrophe that swept across the land."
"I thought that peace would come after the war ended."
"But unexpectedly, what followed the disaster was an even greater one."
"My world has been engulfed in a catastrophe, and countless lives have perished in despair."
"I led the remaining Silver Hand, along with the Ashbringer, in a desperate battle against the enemy."
"But the enemy was too strong and too numerous, and we ultimately failed. I also died in that great battle."
"As for that weapon, it drifted into the chaotic void dimension after my death, and I don't know where it is now."
After listening, Shen Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
Although Old Fordring's words didn't reveal much, they did allow him to glean some useful information.
For example, that catastrophe swept through his world.
In other words, Old Fordring wasn't originally from this world.
Because he died in battle, his soul fell into the Land of Shades, and was later summoned by Shen Xing.
This shows that the enemy must be extremely terrifying.
Although we don't know what level Old Fordring was at his peak, he certainly wouldn't have been weak.
Furthermore, given that he wields the legendary weapon 'Ashbringer', he is likely at least a Grandmaster- level expert, or even higher.
Even so, he was defeated in that great battle.
Besides that, there was the catastrophe itself.
He remembered that the Black Dragon Lord had once said that a group of terrible enemies had invaded the Land of Dragons, causing the entire dragon race to fall apart.
So, are these two incidents related?
Furthermore, when the Black Moon Knight, Xiao Hei, awakened fragments of his memories, he claimed to have witnessed a terrifying great battle.
Could it also be related to this catastrophe?
If so, that would be quite terrifying.
This means that this catastrophe affected not only the Land of Mist, but also countless other worlds.
After a moment's hesitation, Shen Xing didn't press further. "I understand, Fordring Fording."
"If the opportunity arises later, I'll see if I can help you retrieve this legendary weapon."
Old Fordring glanced at him and bowed respectfully. "Thank you, my lord."
Meanwhile, Luna's breakthrough was also nearing its end.
A bright, full moon slowly rotated overhead, casting soft moonlight that was absorbed by the Silver Moon Knight Captain.
Her aura grew increasingly pure, and even her skin glowed with a faint, luminous sheen, as if she were the embodiment of the moon goddess.
As the light faded, a system notification flashed before my eyes.
[Your territory unit: Luna Moonbow, bathed in holy light, has successfully advanced to a hero unit!]
[Activate Hero Exclusive Skills: Silver Moon Star Ring (Passive), Lunar Eclipse]
Thus, the sixth hero of the territory was officially born.
This number is so outrageous that it goes without saying.
It's worth noting that even some veteran Master Rank experts may only have three or four heroes under their command.
He had only been in the Land of Mist for less than four months, yet he had already amassed such a formidable foundation; it was truly astonishing.
"In fact, there is a certain chance of failure when using Proof of Hero to advance unit types."
"If their foundation is insufficient, or they cannot withstand the power of Hero Rank, they may even explode and die."
"However, my territory's troops have long since reached their potential limit, possessing extremely powerful physical bodies."
"Plus, my luck stat is several times higher than other lords, so there's absolutely no need to worry about failure."
Shen Xing recalled this information, and then, as usual, opened the Silver Moon Knight Captain's panel to check the new skill attributes.
[Silver Moon Star Ring (Passive)]
[Effect: At the start of battle, a Silver Moon automatically rises and hangs in the air, illuminating an area of 1500 meters.]
Friendly units within the moonlight's range will have one abnormal status randomly removed every 10 seconds and will gain one 'star' orbiting around them.
Each star reduces magic damage taken by 8% and increases ranged damage by 8%, up to a maximum of 3 stacks.
(Note: Moonlight gently taps on the windowpane, and stars fall in response— Moon Goddess Suite, Third Movement)
[Lunar Eclipse (Active)]
[Skill Effect: Luna reverses the Power of the Silver Moon, causing the Silver Moon in the sky to be briefly swallowed by shadows, and the battlefield is instantly plunged into night.]
During this period, all enemy armor/magic resistance is reduced to zero, and every 2 seconds, a Lunar Eclipse Torrent falls on all enemies, dealing damage equal to (155% of attack power) and applying a stack of 'Lunar Eclipse' power.
Once the stacks reach 5, it immobilizes the target for 1-3 seconds and then detonates all 'Lunar Eclipse' stacks at once, dealing 50% of the previous attacks as true damage.
Cooldown time: 12 hours
(Note: The Silver Moon closes its eyelids, and the shells of all things melt in the darkness— Moon Goddess Suite, Seventh Movement)
"Reduces magic damage taken and increases ranged damage, up to a maximum of 24%..."
"This [Silver Moon Star Ring] is amazing!"
Shen Xing was overjoyed.
In this way, the destructive power of his Lemure Bombardment Legion will increase dramatically once again.
Ranged units, including Skeleton Archers and Silver Moon Knight, will receive a significant boost.
In addition, the later active skill [Lunar Eclipse] is also very useful.
Not only can it reduce the enemy's armor to zero, it can also deal considerable area-of-effect damage.
