I just covet their strength

Chapter 249 Promotion to Legend
【Extinction Light Punishment】

[The combat technique that Yonglan Qi Shen taught to his followers, releasing the boundless magic power through weapons to destroy all enemies of order in front of them]

[The purest killing, not with swords, not with claws, but with arrogant strength. Behold the power of light and storm.]

[I wish to ride on the glory of God and crush all the demons and monsters]

The reason why Yonglan Knight is recognized as a super model monster is because the path created by the Knight God is too cold.

Very cold value.

In the eyes of the Yonglan Knight, [Annihilation Light Punishment] is more full of numerical beauty than any other combat skill. Leaving aside its effect on mortals, as long as the object meets the "inhuman" characteristics, the light cannon will equally bring destruction and death to them.

This is a basic combat skill that all high-level Yonglan Knights possess. It is also a watershed for Yonglan Knights and a symbol of one man forming an army.

".I remember you said before that you couldn't walk the path of knighthood."

Westhead said, looking at Myvana's handsome and delicate profile.

"Yes, a knight's path requires immersing oneself in the joy of battle in order to seek breakthroughs. However, because I fear the curse of my bloodline, even though I have honed my skills and defeated many powerful enemies, I have never felt the joy of fighting. Until I met you."

Mivana retracted the silver sword, and looked at Westhead calmly with her golden eyes, panting slightly and saying:

"The battle in which Weiss woke me up from my rampage state caused my stagnant knighthood to make rapid progress. After that, I finally broke free from the shackles and was no longer afraid of getting lost. I was able to truly focus on fighting and enjoy it."

"After that, I knew why to fight and how to fight. I learned all of this from Teacher Weiss. You may not understand this, but I have been observing Teacher Weiss all the time. Besides Viona... No, both Teacher Weiss and Teacher Weiss are equally important to me."

Westhead: "Glad to be able to help you."

He wisely did not ask Mivana what she meant by "enjoying battle", whether it meant killing the creatures of Chaos or ravaging himself.

However, Myvana actually put herself and Viona on an equal footing. You know, the [Sword of Star Lake] is equivalent to the reborn parents who gave her a second life!

Myvana doesn't express her love as often as the white-haired dragon lady, nor does she make weighty remarks, but her favorability is probably not much inferior to that of Resia.

So when will [Cursed Blood] be given to me? It’s time for the big guaranteed bonus to be released, right?

The wolf-eared girl raised her head, her slightly raised lips revealing a confident and energetic smile as she looked forward.

"I have overcome myself and am striding forward on the path of knighthood. Combining the techniques taught by teacher Viona with practice, I have naturally mastered the glory of the knight god."

One shot of [Extinct Light Punishment] was not able to directly break the protection of the Corrupted Holy Tree, but the effect was significant. A large part of the barrier leading to the roots of the Corrupted Giant Tree had been melted.

The lady knight took a short break and continued to release [Extinction Light Punishment], and the light cannon that tore through the twilight aura roared again.

This is a very normal thing on the battlefield of Yonglan Knights, especially during expeditions, where they would continuously repeat [Extinction Light Punishment], and then a wave of chaos would be over.

Even a tough guy like Westhead couldn't help but howl to the sky.

There is a wheelchair!

Compared to the endurance of ordinary high-level knights who had to rest after one or two shots, Myvana was undoubtedly the king of endurance. She fired [Extinction Light Punishment] one after another, continuously. With the fifth shot, the foundation protecting the corrupted holy tree finally collapsed.

The part melted by the light cannon could no longer cover and support the path to the corrupted sacred tree. The truly vulnerable part was exposed.

Myvana's pretty face was pale, and she half-knelt on the ground with her sword in her hand. No matter how talented she was and how many superb stats she had, she did not have the endurance talent of [Withered Glory Sun], and five consecutive [Extinguishing Light Punishment] had already drained her dry.

The purple-black furry animal ears drooped down, and at the same time, the weak voice of the knight lady was heard.

"Teacher Weiss, I'll leave it to you from now on."

Westhead quickly helped her up and said:

"Let's go. Let's reap the fruits of victory together."

Lord Qinghui was shaking with excitement, because according to his reasoning, as long as they could get the title of "the first person to purify the corrupted sacred tree", this achievement would be enough to help both of them advance to the legendary rank.

That's right, the Corrupted Holy Tree is so rich as an experience package. With the buffs of "God's Flesh and Blood", "Creation of Chaos" and "Root of Corruption", the merit of conquering it is so high that it is even enough to support multiple high-level transcendents to accumulate qualifications for promotion.

In "Poem of Destiny", most of the legends that will emerge in the empire in the future will be promoted by relying on the merits of defeating corrupted sacred trees.

This thing seemed to exist specifically to help people break through to the legendary level. Even though the [Disaster of Corruption] caused heavy losses to the empire, for many extraordinary people, an era of conflict is better than an era of peace.

"No, my path to advancement is not here, but in the Land of Knights."

Mivana shook her head firmly, rejecting the promotion that was within her grasp. She raised her head and said to Westhead:
"I want to reach the end of the path of chivalry and become a formal Grand Knight."

Westhead immediately understood Mivana's intention, that the latter wanted to inherit the position of Grand Knight in a dignified manner, complete the Trial of Chivalry and be promoted to Legend.

And the final step is to complete the pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Yonglan.

"Ah."

Westhead respected Mivana's decision and stopped trying to persuade her. He slowly pulled out Shadow Life from his waist, pointed the tip of the sword on the ground, took a deep breath, and imitated Evening Prayer's fighting skills again.

However, this time, it was not Evening Prayer's strike that destroyed the army, but her fatal blow against the [Source God of Chaos].

"Pfft-"

In a flash, Westhead's figure had already leapt onto the Corrupted Holy Tree. On top of the gigantic tree, he dragged the bright red blade and wandered around. Wherever the tip of the blade passed, it left behind true red embers of fire, greedily devouring the withered giant tree.

From the surface to the branches, from the roots to the crown, the ripples stirred up by the shadow spread to every part of the giant tree. The corrupted holy tree, which had no power to resist, could only allow the most brutal embers filled with destructive dragon thunder and extinguishing flames to rage on its body.

"Crackling——"

Brilliant sparks fell along with the burning heat, carrying with them the ashes of decayed things, as if it were a rain of fire.

And at the end of this burning feast, Westhead finally got what he had always dreamed of.

[Your rank has been promoted from "Hero" to "Legend"]
