Path of Light.

Chapter 712: Blessing Magic
A group of Siren warriors stood on the beach, hesitating...

The siren Jie Zena's gaze fell on the group of siren warriors, and the siren warriors avoided Jie Zena's gaze one after another.

A Siren warrior probably couldn't stand being scrutinized like this, so he squeezed out of the crowd and said with a lack of confidence: "Jizena, I... I'll go with you..."

He has a shrill voice and looks very young.

He had just followed Jie Zena on a reconnaissance around the waters off Sun Island and saw many Faceless Warriors. When he heard that Leader Jie Zena was going to fight that group of Faceless Warriors, although he was very scared, when Jie Zena stared at him, his blood suddenly boiled in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and stood up.

Sometimes it's just like that, it's often difficult to take the first step.

Once someone takes the initiative to stand up, others will continue to join...

"I am coming too……"

"I am coming too……"

Roy stood aside. He didn't quite understand the Naga language, but he felt that the Siren warriors were reluctant at first. Roy knew that they were scared by the Faceless Warriors. They could go into the sea to scout the enemy, but fighting with the Faceless Warriors was no different from committing suicide in their eyes, so no one was willing to go.

But when the young Siren warrior stepped forward, the other Siren warriors followed suit.

The fierce look in the sea siren Zeina's eyes finally turned into relief...

"Okay, we need an elite combat team. You guys follow me."

The siren Jie Zena selected thirteen male sirens who looked stronger and had scars on their bodies from among the siren warriors.

The wounds on these sirens' bodies at least prove that they are experienced in combat.

All along, there had been a group of merfolk spirits following Zetsuana, and she rarely led the sirens in battle...

This time, I was somewhat nervous as I brought a dozen-meter-tall Siren warrior to ambush the Faceless Warrior team in the sea.

……

Roy knew Zeena's strength. Now that she had obtained Commander Alcesar's notes, if she was given a little more time, she would be promoted to a sea beast priest.

With her leading the Sirens to ambush the Faceless reconnaissance team, they can definitely complete the mission and help these demoralized Sirens warriors regain their confidence in victory.

Just as Jie Zena was about to lead these sea siren warriors back to the sea, she suddenly heard someone shouting in stiff Elvish:
"Please wait a moment, Ms. Zezena. According to the custom of the Knights Templar, I can give you a pre-battle blessing."

Captain Jeroin walked over quickly, followed by five priests.

These priests must have rushed here at a trot. They stood on the beach panting, not even wearing a decent robe...

Just as Jiezena showed a surprised look, Captain Jeroin stood on the beach and began to chant prayers, and then drew a divine pattern under Jiezena's feet.

As the prayer sounded, a sacred light fell from above Jie Zena's head.

Several other priests also stood around Jie Zena and began to chant their own prayers. If you listen carefully, you can hear that almost every priest's prayer is different.

Then, dazzling beams of light fell on the mermaid Jie Zena, and the beach was filled with a sacred atmosphere.

Under the beam of light, Jie Zena only felt that some subtle changes seemed to have taken place in her body. Some changes were very obvious, such as in terms of strength and stamina.

The other Siren warriors also quickly accepted the blessings of the priests. These Siren warriors did not resist the priests because it was these priests who had been healing the Siren warriors in the past few days.

After watching the priests cast the spell of "blessing" on these sea monster warriors, Roy finally had an idea...

He had never thought that magic could be used in this way. When he saw the priests of the Knights Templar bestowing various blessings on each Siren Warrior, he suddenly realized that the priests could do this before the battle. The magic of "blessing" could actually be used in this way.

Six kinds of divine halos surround the Siren warriors' long snake tails.

The Siren warriors, whose morale was originally low, suddenly looked taller.

The mermaid Jie Zena's body was covered with this halo of blessing. Her charming eyes showed excitement and curiosity, and she kept trying various things.

"This blessing can only last for an hour at most before it wears off."

After the priests performed their magic, Captain Jeroin reminded the mermaid Zetzena.

"Is that so? Then once we enter the battlefield, how can we guarantee that we can fight those Dark Faceless Men for an hour before having to stop fighting and replenish blessings?" The Siren Jie Zena asked Captain Jeroin in some confusion.

Captain Geroi explained to her:

"So in the Grimm Empire's army, we priests will follow the army. Even if we rush to the battlefield, we will follow behind the Construct Knights to ensure that they always have the blessing halo. As for you, aren't you dealing with those Faceless Reconnaissance Teams now? If the halo disappears, return quickly. We are not good at swimming, so we can't follow you in a naval battle."

Roy suddenly thought that it might not be impossible to let these priests take the magic airship to the sea...

Before this, Roy had always somewhat neglected the priests of the Knights Templar. Now he began to think about how to maximize their combat power on the battlefield.

……

Jie Zena led thirteen sirens from the beach outside the ring mountain range and went directly into the outer sea to search for the approaching Faceless reconnaissance team.

The griffin riders then flew into the sky and flew towards the sea with the group of sirens.

Less than two kilometers away from the beach, Zeina and the Siren Warriors encountered a team of Faceless Warriors...

This team consists of seven Faceless Warriors, who are trying to find the entrance into the Sun Island Bay along the arc-shaped mountains outside the Sun Island Bay.

They encountered a group of Siren warriors head-on, and found that there were not many of them, so they swam faster and rushed towards Jie Zena.

The Faceless Warriors stretched out several tentacles, which kept retracting and retracting in the sea. Every time the tentacles retracted, the Faceless Warriors would advance a long way forward.

The seven Faceless Warriors formed a large net, ready to completely surround the Siren Warriors.

They had fought the Siren Warriors several times in the western seas and were very familiar with the Siren's power. The Faceless Warriors were like a group of hungry wolves pouncing on a flock of sheep, without concealing their intentions at all, and rushed straight up. The Siren Jie Zena stopped in the sea. While she was still, she clasped her hands in front of her chest, and then she closed her eyes and began to sing in the sea.

The sound spread along the sea water, and soon several Dark Faceless Men felt extremely uncomfortable, as if some of their body's strength was deprived, but they still rushed forward at the same speed.

In the western waters, victory came easily, so they felt that they could defeat the sirens in one fell swoop this time.

When Jie Zena's singing stopped, she suddenly opened her golden eyes, and with her hands clasped on her chest, she quickly drew a magic pattern array in the sea. After the spell was recited, an ice spear more than three meters long appeared in the sea.

As Jie Zena swung out one arm, the condensed ice spear flew forward suddenly. This ice spear had an extremely cold effect. Wherever it passed, the sea water was instantly frozen, forming a hollow ice spike that was dozens of meters long.

In a blink of an eye, the ice spear pierced the tentacle of the Faceless Warrior blocking in front of him, but the ice spear was extremely sharp and went straight into the Faceless Warrior's body.

The ice spear had obviously pierced the faceless warrior's body, but this level of injury did not kill the faceless warrior, nor did it even make the faceless warrior lose his fighting power...

The faceless warrior wrapped his tentacles tightly around the ice spear, instantly breaking it into pieces.

Jie Zena took out two bayonets from her waist and rushed forward along the more than 30-meter-long ice spikes in the sea.

The Siren warriors behind took out their tridents and followed behind Jie Zena, fighting with the six Faceless Warriors.

Jie Zena just felt that today, whether singing the "Song of Aging" or casting the "Ice Spear" magic in the sea, it seemed too easy.

At first she did not realize that this was the effect of the blessing magic, until she rushed to the faceless warrior with a bayonet in her hand, and dozens of tentacles wrapped around her. Jie Zena easily inserted the bayonet into the thick and tough tentacle. As the long snake tail swayed in the sea, Jie Zena's body flexibly avoided the entanglement of countless tentacles. She realized that her combat power had increased significantly, which should be the "blessing" given by those human priests.

The siren warriors following behind Zetsu Na also felt the physical blessings brought to them by these 'blessing' spells...

The Siren warriors swam to nearly a thousand Faceless warriors, raised the tridents in their hands, and stabbed at the Faceless warriors. The sharp tridents immediately pierced the Faceless warriors, and these Faceless warriors instantly wrapped up the Siren warriors with their tentacles.

The first one to break free from the tentacles was Jie Zena. She had sharp fins on her body. When the tentacles rolled over, Jie Zena was like a stretched spring, curling her body tightly into a ball.

Only when the tentacles of the faceless warrior emerged and wrapped around Jie Zena did Jie Zena stretch her hands out. The faceless warrior, who was originally extremely powerful, could not restrict any of her movements in front of Jie Zena...

She rushed forward and stabbed the bayonet in her hand directly into the faceless warrior's eyes. The juice bursting from his eyeballs dyed the surrounding sea water colorful.

Jie Zena looked at the bayonet in her hand and suddenly realized that she actually possessed such a strong power...

This thought only stayed in her mind for a second, and the next moment she turned around and blinded the faceless warrior's other eye.

The faceless warrior was blinded and twisted his body violently, trying to tie up the sea monster Zezena again...

Jie Zena swam very fast in the sea. She lured the tentacles to form a death knot in the sea. Unfortunately, even if all the tentacles were tightly entangled together, as long as the tentacles of the Faceless Warrior were still moving, they could get out of the death knot.

Other Siren warriors also started fighting with the Faceless Warriors.

With the blessing of divine magic, their strength is no less than that of the Faceless Warriors.

For a moment, the confidence of the Siren warriors suddenly increased greatly. They also released ice arrows, and the ice spikes pierced the bodies of the Siren warriors in the sea.

Then he used the harpoon in his hand to leave countless holes in the Siren Warrior's body, and the clear sea was immediately polluted by the Siren Warrior's ink...

Jie Zena held an ice cone in her hand and stabbed it directly into the head of the slow-moving Faceless Warrior in front of her. The Faceless Warrior's body twitched violently and then began to melt in the sea water.

After dealing with the enemy in front of her, Jie Zena shook her snake tail and looked around.

In the turbid sea water around them, the Siren warriors were fighting with the Faceless Warriors in front of them. Jie Zena immediately pounced on the Faceless Warrior beside her. She found that the bayonet in her hand was too strong to cause fatal damage to the Faceless Warrior.

The magic ice cone can pierce the head of the faceless warrior...

Jie Zena's body was flexible and strange in the sea. Every time she appeared, when her right arm was raised, an ice cone would appear and then pierce into the head of the Faceless Warrior.

It only took the Siren Squad two quarters of an hour to successfully eliminate the Faceless Squad...

Then Jie Zena swam towards the sea surface suddenly. When she emerged from the sea and wiped the sea water off her face, she saw a dozen griffin knights hovering above the sea, as if searching for them.

Zetsu raised her arms and waved toward the sky.

Huge faceless warriors floated to the surface of the sea...

The griffin riders in the sky saw the bodies of the Faceless Warriors and increased their flying altitude.

Several other Siren warriors also emerged from the sea. It was the first time for them to easily eliminate the Dark Faceless warriors with their own strength. Several Siren warriors seemed very excited.

"Why are the Faceless Warriors here so weak? Why were the Faceless Warriors we met on the battlefield in the western sea so powerful..."

The Siren Warrior wiped the sea water off his face and said excitedly.

"Maybe this is just a reconnaissance team, and the faceless warriors in it are not that strong..."

"What are you talking about? Don't you feel that we have become stronger? Before we went out to sea, we received the blessing of the priest. I think as long as we maintain this state, I think I can kill a Dark Faceless One alone." said another Siren warrior.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like their movements in the sea have become slower..."

Several Siren warriors found that the Dark Faceless Warriors did not seem so scary and began to communicate excitedly.

Jie Zena floated on the sea, swam on her back, and slowly swam towards the shore.

In fact, the battle could end so smoothly, in addition to the blessings of the priests, but also partly because of the singing of the Siren. She just sang a song of aging, which also reduced the combat effectiveness of the Dark Faceless Warriors.

With this increase and decrease, the gap in strength between the Faceless Warriors and the Sirens was infinitely narrowed.

Jie Zena looked at the arc-shaped mountain range not far away, with arrow towers standing on the top of the mountain. This was the first time she felt confident in defending the Sun Island Bay.
