The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 495 Faith Bomb
David was surprised to find that these soul ripples exhibited a kind of memory data characteristics, as if Lucia's memories and soul had been encoded into some form of data.

A surge of hope welled up in David's heart.

If Lucia's memories and soul have truly been digitized, is it possible to resurrect her in some way?
He decided to delve deeper into the data to see if he could find the answer.

However, just as he was immersed in his research, a powerful force suddenly surged into his body.

This power comes from the Elemental Throne, an ancient throne in the center of the Papal Square, inscribed with ancient laws concerning light and darkness.

At this moment, these laws seemed to be activated, forming a Möbius strip that connected the energies of light and darkness, putting them into an infinite loop.

David felt his body enveloped by this force, and his consciousness began to blur.

Just then, he heard a familiar voice in his ear: "David, it's me, Lucia."

David suddenly opened his eyes and found himself standing in a space filled with light.

Lucia stood before him, but her form had undergone a tremendous change.

Her body became transparent and radiant, as if it were an energy body composed of countless points of light.

Her eyes shone with wisdom and mystery, as if she had transcended the realm of mortals.

“Lucia? You…you’ve been resurrected?” David asked in surprise.

Lucia smiled and nodded: "Yes, David."

Under the influence of the laws of the Elemental Throne, my soul merged with the energy of light and darkness, becoming a completely new energy life form.

I can now freely switch spectral frequencies and even release regular-order decomposition rays.

David gazed at Lucia's radiant body, his heart filled with awe and joy.

He knew that Lucia's rebirth was not only a miracle, but also a brand new beginning.

“Lucia, this is incredible!” David exclaimed excitedly. “So, what abilities do you still have?”

Lucia smiled and raised her finger, and a dazzling light instantly condensed at her fingertip.

This ray of light contained a powerful force of rules, seemingly capable of disintegrating all matter.

"This is one of my current abilities: rule-level decomposition rays."

It can break down any matter, even space and time.

David looked at the light with awe.

He knew that Lucia now possessed superhuman strength, but more importantly, she still retained her kind and courageous heart.

“Lucia, thank you for coming back to me,” David said affectionately. “I will always be with you, no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future.”

Lucia smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with tenderness and determination.

She knew that no matter how the future changed, the emotional bond between her and David would last forever.

At that moment, a dazzling light shot into the sky from the ruins of Papal Square, illuminating the entire night sky.

That was a sign of Lucia's rebirth, and a testament to her enduring love with David.

As Lucia was reborn, a peaceful light gradually dissipated over the ruins of Papal Square, but an indescribable solemnity and mystery still lingered in the air.

David and Lucia stood side by side, their eyes filled with anticipation and determination for the future.

However, this tranquility did not last long. An unprecedented force suddenly descended, causing the entire space to tremble.

Suddenly, a silver-haired girl appeared out of thin air before them. She wore a long, shimmering dress, and her eyes shone with a deep light, as if they contained the mysteries of the universe.

Her appearance caused the surrounding air to freeze, and an ancient and powerful aura spread out.

"Welcome to the Trial Grounds of Truth." The silver-haired girl's voice was clear and majestic. She waved her hand gently, and three beams of light flew out from her palm, instantly transforming into three independent trial spaces, which floated in front of David and Lucia respectively.

"These three trial spaces will test your pursuit and understanding of truth," the silver-haired girl continued. "Time here is out of sync with the main world, giving you ample time to complete the trials. But remember, the search for truth is endless."

David and Lucia exchanged a glance, seeing determination and courage in each other's eyes.

They knew that this was not only a test for them personally, but also a validation of their newly established elemental system.

"The rules of the trial are simple," the silver-haired girl continued. "David, you will not be able to use any bloodline abilities; you can only rely on the elemental system that you and Lucia established together to meet the challenges."

"Lucia, while you possess new powers, they will also be limited. You will need to learn how to better control and utilize them during the trials."

David nodded, fully aware of the importance of this trial.

Since exploring the mysteries of the elements with Lucia, they have developed a unique elemental system, but this trial will be an extreme challenge to that system.

"Then, let the trial begin," the silver-haired girl said softly, and then her figure gradually faded away, as if blending into the surrounding air.

David and Lucia took a deep breath and stepped into their respective trial spaces.

David's space was an endless void, with only dim light flickering around him, as if foreshadowing unknown challenges.

Lucia's space is a dazzling starry sky, with twinkling stars, a breathtaking sight, but behind this beauty lies endless danger.

In David's trial space, he felt unprecedented pressure.

The flow of elements here is abnormally chaotic, as if it has lost control.

He tried to use the elemental system he had established with Lucia to guide these elements, but found it extremely difficult.

Every attempt felt like a struggle against the power of the entire space.

However, David did not give up.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with an indomitable light.

He recalled his exploration of the elements with Lucia, and the theories about elemental resonance and fusion kept echoing in his mind.

He tried to apply these theories to practice, gradually guiding those chaotic elements toward order.

As time went on, David gradually found his rhythm.

He began to skillfully utilize the elemental system to cope with various challenges, and was even able to create some unique elemental skills.

A relieved smile appeared on his face; he knew he was getting closer and closer to the core of the truth.

In Lucia's trial space, she also faced enormous challenges.

The starry sky here is beautiful, but each star contains immense power, and one could be swallowed up by it if one is not careful.

Lucia tried to use her newfound powers to communicate with the stars, but found they wouldn't obey her commands. Undeterred, Lucia closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She recalled the moment she transformed into an energy being, and the feeling of merging with light and dark energy surged into her heart again.

She tried to merge her consciousness with the surrounding starry sky, to feel the pulse and breath of each star.

Gradually, Lucia found a way to communicate with the stars.

She could feel their power and emotions, and even resonate with them.

She began to try to harness the power of these stars for her own use, creating some amazing stellar abilities.

With a flick of her finger, a dazzling starlight streaked across the sky, clearing away all the obstacles in her path.

When David and Lucia completed their respective trials, they returned to the silver-haired girl once again.

Their eyes shone with confidence and satisfaction, clearly indicating that they had reaped considerable rewards.

"Congratulations on passing the trial." The silver-haired girl's voice rang out again. "You have not only proven your strength and courage, but also demonstrated your unyielding pursuit of truth."

However, the silver-haired girl's tone suddenly turned serious: "But do you know? The Elemental Throne is not just a symbol or a tool; it is actually a shackle—a shackle set up to curb the excessive development of wizarding civilization."

David and Lucia were taken aback; they had never heard of such a secret before.

The silver-haired girl continued, "The wizard civilization was once glorious. They possessed powerful elemental forces and could almost control the entire world."

However, the abuse of this power has also brought disastrous consequences.

To prevent a similar event from happening again, the Elemental Throne was created to limit the development of wizarding civilization.

"But now," the silver-haired girl changed the subject, "as you gain a deeper understanding and application of elemental power, this shackle seems to be beginning to loosen."

This means you have the opportunity to break free from constraints and explore a wider ocean of truth.

However, we must also be wary of the consequences of abusing power.

David and Lucia exchanged a glance, seeing determination and resolve in each other's eyes.

As the secrets of the Elemental Throne are revealed, David and Lucia are filled with a desire to explore the unknown world more deeply.

However, just as they were about to continue their journey, an ancient and powerful aura suddenly emanated from the area of ​​elemental rampage, shattering the surrounding tranquility.

"What is that?" Lucia frowned, looking in the direction from which the aura was coming.

David also felt the oppressive force, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that we are not the only explorers on this land."

Before the words were finished, a group of beast-like warriors of various shapes rushed out from the elemental rampage area. They were covered in animal skins, held simple weapons, and their eyes gleamed with a wild light.

These beast warriors are completely different from ordinary warriors. They seem to have a strange resonance with the surrounding elements, which greatly enhances their power.

“The Beast Legion!” David recognized the warriors; they were a special force from the wizarding civilization who had merged with wild beasts through some kind of ritual to gain immense power.

However, as time went by, this unit gradually disappeared into the annals of history, and unexpectedly, it reappeared here today.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the beast-like army, David and Lucia reacted quickly.

They summoned their elemental powers, preparing to confront this unknown threat.

However, the beast-like legion did not launch a direct attack. Instead, it moved through the elemental rampage zone in a strange way, as if it were communicating with the surrounding elements.

At that moment, a shocking phenomenon occurred.

Stimulated by the elemental rampage zone, the beast-like warriors began to undergo a primal evolution.

Their bodies gradually swelled, their skin hardened like iron, and their claws and fangs became incredibly sharp.

Their eyes turned bloodshot, filled with a thirst for battle and an obsession with blood.

"What...what's going on?" Lucia stared in astonishment at everything that was happening before her eyes.

David stared intently at the evolved beast-like warriors and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the elemental rampage zone not only awakened the beastly bloodline within them, but also triggered some kind of atavism. These guys are now even stronger."

Just as they were preparing to deal with this new threat, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

That was Lia, dressed in blood-red wolf armor, her eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

She was followed by a group of equally well-equipped warriors, who seemed to have some mysterious connection with Lia.

“Lia!” David exclaimed in surprise.

Lia nodded, said nothing more, and immediately went into battle mode.

She directed the warriors behind her to quickly form ranks, creating a standoff with the beast-like legion.

What's even more surprising is that there seems to be some kind of telepathic connection between Leah and her warriors, making their coordination seamless, as if they were acting as a single entity.

The battle is about to break out.

The beast-like legion, empowered by their ancestral evolution, launched a fierce attack on Lia's warriors.

However, Lia and her warriors were not afraid at all. With their superb combat skills and tacit cooperation, they successfully resisted the beastman army's offensive.

During the battle, Lia displayed astonishing strength.

The crimson wolf armor she wore seemed to have become one with her, not only enhancing her defense but also granting her powerful offensive capabilities.

She wielded her longsword, each strike accompanied by a crimson light, repelling the beast warriors one by one.

However, the beast-like legions are numerous, and new warriors are constantly joining the battle.

Lia's warriors began to seem somewhat overwhelmed.

Just then, Lia suddenly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She seemed to be communicating with the elements around her, absorbing their power.

When Leah opened her eyes again, they shone with an even brighter light.

She raised her longsword high and shouted, "For glory! For truth! Fight alongside me!"

As her shout faded, the soldiers behind her seemed to be inspired, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited in their eyes.

Together with Lia, they brandished their weapons and launched a counterattack against the beast-like legion.
