It felt so good to be close to the witch!

His voice did not hinder the crimson-gold fireball from advancing slowly; at this moment, it was only one meter away from Roy.

At such close range, Roy felt that his fighting spirit was suppressed by at least 50%, but he did not hesitate at all and slashed out heavily with the Starfire Blade in his hand.

The moment the blade touched the flame, time seemed to stand still.

Visible transparent distorted ripples slowly spread out; they were no longer shock waves, but ripples caused by the disturbance of space.

"boom!"

The stiffness lasted for less than 0.1 seconds. The next instant, Roy was struck as if by a heavy blow, and his body flew backward.

However, during his backward flight, an invisible and gentle force supported his body, allowing him to stop unharmed after only retreating less than ten meters.

"So this is the power of domain properties..."

Roy's tone was filled with shock.

That last sword strike was his full-force attack under normal circumstances, and even a legendary three-star opponent would have to take it seriously.

However, it couldn't even withstand a tiny ball of fire enhanced by the domain's properties for 0.1 seconds.

Unconsciously, a sense of frustration rose in his heart.

The gap is really too big.

Noticing the change in Roy's eyes, the Border Duke said in a somewhat complicated tone, "You have done very well, or rather, you have surprised me greatly."

"A legendary one-star knight can slightly hinder attacks enhanced by domain characteristics, which is something that other knights consider unbelievable."

"Your skill level is indeed at the level of a legendary three-star."

Don't be discouraged.

"Between Legendary Samsung and Legendary Limit, there is still a Legendary Peak realm, which is a huge gap between two minor realms."

"Once you reach Legendary 3 stars, you might actually be qualified to face the unique characteristics of the field."

Before the border duke could finish speaking, Roy had already adjusted his mindset.

The continuous victories unconsciously instilled a sense of superiority in him, and this sense of superiority intensified after he was promoted to Legendary.

This setback has made Roy realize that there is still a huge gap between him and a true powerhouse!

Perhaps he could destroy this ball of flame with domain characteristics after entering the "Destruction" state, but Roy knew very well that the power that a true legendary ultimate powerhouse could display with domain characteristics was far more than that.

This means that even if he fights desperately and uses every means at his disposal, he will most likely be crushed by a legendary ultimate powerhouse and have no chance of winning. At most, he can try to escape by using [Satan's Redemption].

The research progress on the Starlight Paladin's Tier 4 exclusive feat needs to be accelerated. In addition, the practice of breathing techniques needs to be more diligent. For the time being, I won't be sleeping...

"call……"

Thoughts churned in his mind. Roy took a deep breath, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes: "I have already witnessed the power of domain characteristics, Your Grace. Now, please let me see what incomplete rules truly mean."

“Alright, but I must remind you of something.” The border duke said earnestly, “The rules of demigods are incomplete because of the constraints of the world, but no matter how incomplete they are, they are still rules.”

"Compared to it, domain characteristics are like bubbles that burst at the slightest touch."

"So, are you really prepared to face the power of a demigod?"

"Of course!" Roy smiled and gave a thumbs up.

……

One minute later, in the courtyard.

Roy sat alone at the stone table, while the Border Duke was already eager to try out the runes of the two legendary feats.

The speed at which one can perceive incomplete rules is much faster than the speed at which one can perceive the characteristics of a domain.

Roy could understand the domain characteristics to some extent, but the incomplete rules were like a primary school student trying to understand advanced mathematics—it recognized me, but I didn't recognize it.

I can't understand it, I just can't understand it no matter what I do.

So the whole process was that the crimson-gold fireball flew in front of him, exploded into countless fine spatial cracks, and he was sent flying backward again.

He was protected by the border duke's domain; otherwise, the aftershocks alone would have been enough to seriously injure him.

This gave Roy an extremely profound understanding of the "weight" of demigods.

Even a legendary Ultra Knight would probably be no match for a demigod.

Demigods are the true forces that can influence the fate of the Radiant Empire!

With a new goal in mind, Roy's enthusiasm for training grew even stronger. He secluded himself in a hidden place and did not come out even when Fuma arrived.

And just like that, time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

……

On this day, at the border of the province of Rafah.

Three figures arrived together.

They were dressed in full golden armor; one wore a knight's sword at his waist, another carried a longbow on his back, and the last one wielded a greatsword.

On the chest of their armor were painted special bright red patterns. Those familiar with divine script, a script often used in temple rituals, would recognize that the patterns represented the numbers four, five, and six.

The direction they were heading led to the ruins of the Rafah Province Cathedral Temple!

Chapter 188 Starlight Paladin Tier 4 Exclusive Legendary Feat: Celestial Body

The Blackrock Lord's Mansion, a hidden place.

Roy slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of silver starlight flickered in his crimson-gold pupils.

A few seconds later, his pupils gradually returned to their normal brown color.

Feeling the changes in his body, Roy could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

After three consecutive days of secluded cultivation, he not only successfully broke through to the second level of Legendary Realm, but also completed the inscription of the Starry Knight's fourth-tier exclusive specialty!

The breakthrough to Legendary Level 2 went even more smoothly than he had imagined. After both his Soul Flame and Battle Qi strength reached the upper limit of Legendary Level 1, he only needed to exert a little effort to easily break through the realm.

At first, Roy was somewhat taken aback—normal legendary one-star knights, after cultivating to the upper limit of legendary one-star, often need a long time and countless attempts to break through to a minor realm.

But soon, Roy understood. The advancement to the legendary level, in essence, is an increase in the intensity of the soul fire. For a normal person, it is extremely difficult for the soul fire to break through its shackles, but for his soul fire, perhaps because of the [Original Sin Cube], the bottleneck is almost zero. This means that before reaching the legendary limit, as long as the intensity of his soul fire reaches the standard, he has no bottleneck to speak of.

This is undoubtedly excellent news.

After breaking through to Legendary Level Two, Roy's physical strength also increased significantly. Originally, his physical strength was only at the peak of Legendary Level Two, but now, after the breakthrough, it has reached the level of Legendary Level Three!

Basic combat strength has increased dramatically!

After advancing to Legendary Level Two, Roy estimated when his next realm advancement would take place.

The maximum battle qi of a legendary two-star knight is 5999. If Roy uses the [Infinite Desire - God] to assist in his cultivation from 3000 to 5999, it will take about 40 days.

Forty days is an incredibly short time for advancement within the legendary rank, but for Roy, it was still a bit long.

Unless you have some extraordinary encounter and obtain some rare item that can help improve your Soul Flame, there is no possibility of upgrading it to Legendary 3 stars in a short period of time.

Besides the improvement in his cultivation level, another gain, or rather the biggest gain, from this period of seclusion was obtaining the exclusive fourth-tier perk for Starlight Holy Knights!

The effects of the two Tier 4 Legendary feats for the Warrior class made Roy drool with envy, but he resisted the temptation and did not choose to imprint them.

There is a capacity limit to engraving feat runes. Once Roy has engraved the legendary feat rune of a Tier 4 warrior, there will definitely not be enough capacity left to engrave the Tier 4 exclusive feat of a Star Paladin, unless he can comprehend the third trait of the Breath of Fire, [Newborn], which will increase his capacity limit.

Therefore, he has endured until now.

And now, it's time to reap the rewards.

The Starlight Paladin Tier 4 has only one exclusive legendary feat, named – Starbound Body.

-

[Legendary Feats - Starbound Body (Exclusive)]: An exclusive feat that can only be obtained when Starlight Paladin reaches Tier 4. Requires the following prerequisite feats: Meteor - Accumulation and Starbound Body.

Effect 1 - Passive: Increases the maximum amount of starlight and the recovery speed by an additional 500% (this passive effect overrides the buff from the Starry Body).

Effect 2 - Passive: Starlight power flows around the body, granting the owner powerful bursts of energy and all attributes +100% (this passive effect overrides the passive bonus of Meteor Charge).

Effect 3 - Passive: The pursuit of starlight grants the Starlight Paladin some of the "mass" characteristics of celestial bodies. During combat, they are in a constant "Unbreakable" state, reducing all damage received by 55%, and directly negating attacks below Legendary level. (Damage reduction rate increases with level; converted to the Battle Aura system, each star increase increases it by 5%, with a base value of 50%.)

Effect 4 - Active: Activates the "Starlight" state, causing the starlight power within the body to boil, adding an extra 200% starlight damage to all attacks, consuming 1% of the total starlight per second.

-

After experiencing the effects of the [Legendary Fetish: Celestial Body], Roy had only one feeling:

That's incredibly awesome!

One specialty, four effects. The first two are enhancements to the prerequisite specialties Meteor Accumulation and Starry Body, while the latter two are brand new features, each one incredibly powerful.

Effect 3: Super Armor and Damage Reduction, which directly encompass the core feats of the third and fourth tiers of warriors, and the effects are even more powerful.

Effect 4: 200% Starlight Damage Bonus. Since Roy hasn't compared Shockwave Damage and Starlight Damage yet, he can't definitively say which is better. However, the Warrior's [Legendary Trait: Thunder Fury] requires six attacks to reach its peak 180% Shockwave Damage, while the [Legendary Trait: Astral Body] doesn't; it starts with 200% Starlight Damage. Numerically speaking, Astral Body is slightly superior.

The biggest difference between the two is that Thunder Fury consumes ordinary energy and stamina and causes extremely high wear and tear on weapons, while the Ring Body consumes a unique energy source called starlight.

Comparing all aspects, the effects of the Ring of Stars far surpass those of "Damage Reduction" and "Thunder Fury".

Of course, this expertise is not without its limitations; the amount of starlight it produces is its biggest limitation.

Roy's base starlight is 100, and with the help of his special ability, his starlight reaches 500. The recovery rate is slightly lower than the 1% consumption per second when "Starlight State" is activated. Roy calculated that even with full starlight, it can only last for about 50 seconds.

The problem is that, apart from the "Starlight State", activating the "Meteor·Accumulation" active effect also requires starlight, and the amount consumed is a fixed value.

100 starlight points in exchange for 100% sharpness enhancement in one minute.

300 starlight points means a 300% increase in sharpness per minute.

Once "Meteor Charge" is activated, the amount of starlight will drop sharply, and the starlight state can only last for 20 seconds with the 300% sharpness bonus.

This is also a drawback of Roy's part-time job.

His starlight amount is far less than that of a proper fourth-tier Saintly Starlight Paladin.

While other Paladins can keep "Starlight State" and "Meteor Charge" active for extended periods, he can only keep them active for 20 seconds at a time.

Fortunately, even if the starlight level drops to zero, the passive bonus effect of the [Legendary Specialty - Starbound Body] still exists.
