The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 980 The Radiant Test
The following morning, Moran, accompanied by Kairos, arrived at a circular temple located in the center of the tribe's settlement, which was the sanctuary of the Radiant Clan.

The sanctuary was spacious inside, with a smooth, mirror-like floor and a slightly raised platform in the center.

The surrounding walls are carved with images of the twelve Saints of Light worshipped by the Sun Elf. They are all Sun Elf beings who have successfully surpassed level 20 and entered the "Divine Realm".

On the platform, three Sunfire Elves were already waiting.

In the very center stood an elderly woman, dressed in an exquisite robe of a radiant priest, holding a staff topped with a massive sunstone. To her left stood a burly knight in heavy golden armor.

Moran had seen portraits of the two women at Alfred's place.

In the middle is one of the quasi-god-level elders of the Radiant Clan, the level 20 Radiant Priest, Liandel.

Beside her is Calvin, a level 20 Sun Knight, who is also the Guardian Knight of Lyander and the Knight Commander of the Everlasting Radiance Knights.

On the far right is Kelos, who is wearing a more formal robe today.

Moran steadily walked up to the platform and bowed to the three elders: "Good day, Elder Leander, Knight Commander Calvin, and Lord Keros."

Calvin scrutinized Moran with a critical eye: "Alfred wrote that you became a level 18 Sunfire Knight and a level 18 Radiant Priest in just a few decades. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've seen you with my own eyes... the Radiant Power within you is indeed pure and powerful, not like a result of a quick fix."

“It is also thanks to the legacy that Alfred shared with me,” Moran said modestly.

"Alright, let's begin! Kelos, activate the Radiance Tester!"

Kairos took out a crystal-like instrument and placed it in the center of the platform.

After the instrument is activated, a light golden film spreads out from it, forming a hemispherical field with a diameter of about five meters.

“Stand in the center of the domain, Moran,” Liandel instructed. “Release the power within you that belongs to the Radiant Priest and the Sun Knight. Do not hold back. The Resonance Device will record and analyze the nature, purity, stability, and compatibility of your power with the source of radiance.”

Moran followed instructions and stepped into the light membrane.

First came the power of the Radiant Priest, which gradually enveloped her in a soft golden glow. The glow was not dazzling, but it gave people a sense of security and warmth, like the winter sun.

Within the crystal on the Radiant Testing Instrument, the value representing the Radiant Priest rapidly increased.

A hint of surprise flashed in Leander's eyes: "100% healing, 100% defense, and peak strength level 18?"

This is already the highest level that a level 18 Radiant Priest can reach. In fact, most Radiant Priests, including her, did not reach this level when they broke through to level 19.

Moran then began to mobilize the second power—the power of the Sun Knight.

They are all radiant power, or rather, the power of light element. The radiant power wielded by the Radiant Priest is a warm and healing protective energy, the gentle side of light.

The radiant power wielded by the Corona Knight, however, is a scorching and sharp punitive energy, the destructive side of light.

The golden radiance surrounding Moran gradually took on a layer of intense white-gold, and the light became sharper.

However, these two completely different radiant powers do not conflict. Under Moran's control, they coexist in a wonderful way. The inner layer is a warm, healing radiance, while the outer layer is a blazing radiance of punishment. They are both independent and mutually supportive.

光辉测试仪上出现了更多的数据。    “惩戒性100%、破坏性100%、强度18级巅峰……双源协调性100%、光之本源契合度100%！”

These last two data points stunned the three Sunfire Sprites present.

100% dual-source coordination means that Moran can perfectly balance the two forces, Radiant Priest and Sunfire Knight, which, although both belong to the light system, have significant differences in nature and application, allowing them to coexist harmoniously within the same system and even enhance each other.

A 100% affinity with the source of light means she is perfectly compatible with the power of light elements, making it easy for her to master any light-based magic.

Compared to this, the power of the Sun Knight at level 18, in terms of strength, punishment, and destructiveness, is nothing.

“Unbelievable…you’re a nature elf!” Knight Commander Calvin murmured, feeling that Moran was more like a solar elf than a solar elf.

"This talent is certainly rare, but what's even rarer is that you've made the most of it. Only by truly understanding that the light of the Radiant Priest and the light of the Sun Knight, healing and punishment, protection and conquest are all indispensable parts of the power of light, can one master both classes so solidly! From this point of view, you are truly a worthy Sun Elf!"

Leander's gaze toward Moran had shifted from scrutiny to admiration, and he deliberately ignored her distinctive green hair, a feature clearly characteristic of nature elves.

Kelos also became more affectionate towards her.

The differentiation of elves is never due to their appearance, but to their magical beliefs. Moran fully embraced the power of light, so she is a solar elf.

"Moran, now for the second item: demonstrate the highest level of magic and combat skills you currently possess."

Moran nodded, adjusted her breathing slightly, and then began to cast the level 9 compound spell that even Alfred had praised highly.

With his left palm facing upward, golden holy light began to gather and weave. This was the Holy Light Protection, a level 9 defensive divine spell of the Radiant Priest, which could form a barrier of light to withstand physical and magical attacks.

At the same time, he clenched his right fist, and intense platinum light burst forth from between his fingers. This was the Sunfire Knight's level 9 magic combat skill, Scorching Barrier, which could form a high-temperature field around his body that continuously burned those who approached.

If it's just a matter of casting these two skills separately, any qualified level 18 Radiant Priest or Sunfire Knight can do it.

But what Moran did next left the three witnesses speechless.

She slowly brought her hands together.

The golden holy light of the Holy Light's protection and the platinum light of the scorching barrier began to merge...

It's not a simple superposition, but a true, structural fusion.

The Holy Light's protection is infused with the sharpness of the Scorching Barrier, and the Scorching Barrier is infused with the stability of the Holy Light's protection.

Two completely different radiant powers, under Moran's skillful manipulation, formed a peculiar shield.

The shield is pale gold in color, with platinum flames flowing across its surface. While protecting its master, it also subtly exudes a scorching pressure that makes one's heart tremble.

At the edge of the shield, the boundary between the protective light and the scorching flames had blurred, as if the two forces were meant to coexist in this way.

Keros's eyes were full of admiration: "Moran, can you tell us the name of this magic?"
