Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 113: Holy Sword: Durandal

“Sister!” “Remedios!”

The thunder ceased.

The girls trotted forward to look after their companions and relatives—their worries were justified and unnecessary, as healing spells were particularly effective on individuals who had cast the Mark of Alliance.

If they had been any slower, they would have put a Band-Aid on Remedios. But caring for those who matter is always a beautiful quality.

So Wu Chen ignored them and let them enjoy the good times after the victory on their own.

He simply reached out and lifted the horn, and the remains of the horn angel stained it.

The dream then unfolds.

Holy Sword: Durandal – This ancient relic weapon can ignore the target's defenses and counters, directly damaging the target. Its effectiveness against evil, dark, and undead entities is greatly enhanced, granting the wielder significant bonuses. Three times daily, it can be used to enhance Holy Strike, significantly increasing damage and range against evil forces. Furthermore, this weapon possesses a horn form, which three times daily allows the wielder to stun targets within a certain radius. It is particularly effective against evil forces.

Without a doubt, this was the Holy Kingdom's true national treasure, the prototype of the Holy Sword Safarisia. And the title Durandal was indeed far more famous than simply 'Safarisia'.

He was lucky, as this weapon was only truly effective against evil. If Wu Chenchen were a lich, he'd likely be instantly destroyed. Unfortunately, he and his companions were unequivocally righteous, and their justice values ​​were likely astonishingly high. Consequently, this powerful holy sword couldn't even unleash a third of its power in the hands of the Horn Envoy.

pity.

The power of faith still surges within the ruins, and it will be of no use in the ensuing battle. So...

Wu Chen glanced over the list of abilities the Horn Envoy could provide, and unsurprisingly, he saw the one he was looking for at the top, the seventh-tier spell list.

Sub-Air Shield—A seventh-tier defensive spell that creates a special shield around the caster. It activates every few seconds, completely protecting against all incoming spells, quasi-spells, and supernatural forces. However, each attack has a chance of damaging the shield, and even if it does, the damage dealt will be negated.

——[To purchase this spell, you need to pay 3000 resource points and 2 level 1 purchase voucher.]

Spending a precious Level 2 purchase voucher on a seventh-tier spell is somewhat uneconomical. However...

This spell is worth it.

as well as……

Wu Chen's gaze then shifted downwards.

Legend Mastery—A fifth-tier divination spell. Designate a person, object, or event. Receive a description of the target. This could be a rumor, a story, or a secret. The information provided by this spell is absolutely accurate, increasing in detail and precision as the user's understanding of the target grows, as does the legendary stories associated with them. However, if the target has no legendary stories on the current plane, this spell will not work.

——[To purchase this spell, you need to pay 1400 resource points and 1 level 1 purchase voucher.]

This was a spell that the Horn Envoy hadn't used, nor was there any need for it to be used, but it was a very common and essential spell for celestial beings of its level.

It can basically be regarded as an upgrade of identification technique, or a derivative branch version.

Compared to a mental scan... ahem, a prophecy of divination, this spell interrogates the world itself, not the targeted object. In other words, it can only be blocked, not countered or detected. Even Ainz Ooal Gown's offensive information shield can only be used to maintain secrecy, not counterattack. It's truly an essential arcane power for a mage.

Bought!

Wu Chen himself didn't care. His "Holy Descendant" and "Young God" traits made his key intelligence unclear. As for the more precious information... he didn't think anyone could bypass his "friends" and directly know those extremely deadly secrets.

then……

Time resumed its flow.

The door to the inner temple is right in front of us.

A pure glow flashed in Yu Wuchen's eyes.

Rolandier Lobel Besares

【The founder of the Holy Kingdom of Lobel.】

[He ended the Demon God Rebellion and became one of the individuals known as the Thirteen Heroes.]

[Those who have contacted with the power of faith.] And...

Witch dust swept across the ruins, across the land. The dead Horn Herald, and the holy sword Durandil it held. And the secret of Durandil's discord with the Theocracy, with the nations, and the secret known only to those who intervened from higher dimensions: how the Platinum Dragon King, under the alias Char, joined the Thirteen Heroes, and ultimately backstabbed their leader, the player Rick, and seized the treasure from him.

A highly likely guess appeared in Wu Chen's eyes.

[The advent of Yggdrasil, a closely related individual known as Player in this land...]

——I want to know its current situation and its secrets.

Spell, works successfully.

And the whole world responded to Wu Chen in an instant.

The voice of the world was particularly clear at this moment, and it emerged directly from the depths of Wu Chen's soul, turning into a whisper.

The remains of the dead lie within the secret chamber, the devoured long since transformed into the agents of others. Driven by hopeless revenge and the hatred of the betrayed, it lurks deep within the earth, awaiting the opportunity to be reborn. After one hundred and seventy-three years, a worthy descendant finally arrives.

riddle.

But the story is told quite clearly.

Wu Chen had obtained all the information he expected, and more than that, there were even many unexpected surprises.

——Secret room.

Wu Chen pursed his lips slightly. A general comparison of power emerged within his mind. This enemy was indeed even more powerful and terrifying than he was, and it also possessed a terrifying hidden weapon. A serious confrontation with it would likely result in a lower chance of victory than anticipated.

It's still not too late to evacuate now.

Even if there were no teleportation marks left, he did have the ability to leave here. Regardless of all that, he could close his eyes right then and there and return to his dreams, to the land of Mundus.

but……

Blood is flowing.

A burning feeling lingered within the body.

It was a subtle tremor, a fighting ambition. Even though only fourteen days had passed since he boarded that plane, he knew he was no longer the same person he once was.

The mask was not worn on the face.

It has been a long time since I last wore the dragon priest mask.

And now, the mask is just a prop for him to open the second stage.

"A hero shouldn't flee from the battlefield..."

He said to himself, and opened the door to the temple before him. Immediately, a vast expanse of holiness and brilliance flowed out from behind the door, washing over the wills and nerves of everyone present.

A statue of the First Holy King stood in the center of the temple. Before the statue, a massive pool overflowed with pure, white divine power.

“This is…” Calca had already caught up. Remedios’s injuries had indeed completely healed. They followed Wu Chen’s footsteps and exclaimed in amazement.

And from inside the temple, from the giant statue, an old and majestic voice sounded.

"Descendants of the Holy King, those who have transcended the trials, before you lies your final test and reward. If you are devoted to the light and vow to fight against darkness, then step into these sacred waters and receive the final baptism."

"Light will cleanse all darkness and annihilate all evil. However, those who are kind will be rewarded. Come and face your final test, and the shackles of the mortal world will be baptized. As long as you uphold justice, your mortal bodies will enter the heavens and become sacred people."

"Come! Descendants, put on your crown and prove your oath. You are willing to give everything for your country, your people, and the justice you uphold!"

The sacred tide within the pool surged ceaselessly, and its true nature was revealed to everyone.

This is power, this is a sacred ritual, this is... the key to becoming stronger!
