Chapter 524: The Corrupted Sun

For a moment, Lian took his eyes away from the survivors.

[Corrupted Sun.]

[Rank: S.]

[A talent formed from the coexistence of the Law of Light and Eclipse.]

[Compatibility with the Law of Light has greatly increased.]

[The user can perceive the movement path, refraction, reflection, and concentration of Light with greater accuracy.]

[The user can use Mana and Eclipse Energy to turn existing Light into Corrupted Light, as long as Light exists, you can create Corrupted Light.]

[Corrupted Light keeps the speed, penetration, and spreading properties of Light, but it will gain the properties of erosion and destruction.]

[Corrupted Light does not have the properties of healing and purification.]

[Controlling Corrupted Light in bright environments will be easier and require less energy.]

[Resistance against all offensive Light and Corrupted Light skills increases by 200%.]

Something changed in Lian’s perception, not like when his stats increased and his body came under pressure, this time the change was more like a sense opening that had not existed before.

The Light around him was no longer just "brightness."

He could see its path.

Sunlight came down through the clouds, broke across the white stones, part of it hit the blood-covered armor of a Region Three soldier and another part reflected from the surface of another soldier’s body.

Thousands and even millions and billions of lines of Light could be seen, and they were all connected to each other, if he wanted, he could choose one line from among all that Light.

And more interestingly? He could use each of them like a weapon, of course, they could only be useful when the enemy had no ability to deal with them.

He moved his fingers slightly, as if he was trying to move them like moving the notes of a musical instrument ... and he succeeded.

Interesting.

But Corrupted Sun was not over yet.

[New innate skill has been formed.]

[Six Sources of Immortality]

[Create six independent Sources within your body, each continuously circulating Corrupted Light throughout your physical structure.]

[Whenever physical damage is inflicted, the Sources automatically direct Corrupted Light toward the affected area.]

[Rather than regenerating damaged tissue through conventional healing, Corrupted Light erodes the very structure of the damage itself.]

[Cuts, fractures, burns, ruptures, destroyed tissue, and other forms of physical injury are treated as foreign alterations to the body’s recorded stable state and are gradually erased.]

[As the structure of the injury is destroyed, the affected area is forced back toward its previously stabilized condition.]

[Each Source functions independently, but the remaining Sources can partially compensate for destroyed ones.]

[The destruction of a Source reduces the overall response speed, restoration capacity, and stability of the ability.]

[As long as at least one Source remains active, the user possesses extreme resistance to death caused purely by physical destruction.]

[As long as all six Sources have not been destroyed, complete physical death is impossible.]

[The amount of Eclipse Energy consumed increases according to the severity, scale, and complexity of the damage being erased.]

[Multiple large-scale injuries occurring simultaneously can overwhelm the circulation rate of the Sources and greatly increase energy consumption.]

[This ability stabilizes only the physical structure of the body and does not grant absolute protection against direct destruction of the soul ]

[If all six Sources are destroyed, the immortality effect will immediately cease.]

[Requires 5000 Spirit for full activation.]

The corner of Lian’s lips rose slightly, he did not expect to be lucky enough to obtain this skill, the same crazy self-healing mechanism of the Leviathan that had made killing it impossible for them.

And now he had obtained it and could even activate it, but unfortunately, he did not currently meet its initial requirements for activation.

But once he could activate it, he would no longer be physically killable, unless the opponent was powerful enough to destroy all six sources in one attack.

And he doubted that there were any other beings besides Demons and Overlords and those above them that could have such power.

"What are you doing?" Kain asked after seeing his long silence.

"Nothing." He answered calmly and the notifications disappeared, now he could return to the problem in front of him.

"Why was Region Six here?" His eyes first stopped on the commander of Region Six.

The man only looked at him with hatred.

Lian waited for a few seconds but no answer came, so he turned his head toward the priest of Region Three.

"And why were you trying to open this shrine? Why did you want the sphere Of Witness?" From the conflict between these two Regions, he could guess that the sphere Of Witness was also related to their conflict.

But whatever it was, he did not mind knowing, the more he knew about the situation between the natives, the better.

The priest also said nothing.

His left arm was almost completely burned from the elbow to his fingers, and he could barely keep it beside his body.

Blood had come down from the cut beside his head and dried on his cheek, but there was no sign of begging or fear in his eyes.

Kain took one step forward.

"You lost almost all of your people." His eyes moved for a moment over the scattered bodies in the square.

"I don’t think now is a very good time to play the role of loyal people."

"Barbarian." The commander of Region Six spat the blood in his mouth beside his foot.

"You really like that word." Kain let out a short sigh.

"Death is better than selling the Region." The priest of Light raised his head slightly.

His voice was tired but did not shake, his fanaticism and faith in his words were completely clear.

Two stood a few meters behind Lian and slowly lowered his head.

The shadow of the giant wolf’s head fell over the priest’s body and one of the Region Three soldiers unconsciously took half a step back.

But the priest did not even blink.

The young Vorhelm looked at him, it was real fanaticism, not just an act of bravery and things like that, this man was truly ready to die.

Those few natives from Region Three that they had fought at that time and handed over to the Awakened, after seeing Two, had been extremely afraid of him.

But this priest was not like that, there was no fear in his eyes and more threats would probably only make him more determined.

Lian asked another question about Region Six and again there was silence, then he asked about the shrine but received no answer.

He asked about the sphere Of Witness but the only thing that changed was the priest’s expression, for a few seconds, he looked at the sphere Of Witness floating beside Kain with something close to anger.

He threatened them even more and tried to use physical torture as well, but the result was no different, neither of them was willing to speak.

He even went to the soldiers, questioned them separately, threatened them separately, but nothing... it was also clear that they were not ordinary soldiers.

It was normal too, if this mission was really important to both Regions, it was natural that they would not send a few ordinary soldiers.

Lian finally let out a short sigh and then turned toward Kain.

"It’s useless. Let’s forget about it."

"Okay." Kain looked at him and shrugged, he had also tried his own methods but had received no answer.

The young Vorhelm took one step toward the seven people, his right hand rose.

No skill had been activated yet, there was no need either.

The commander of Region Six clenched his jaw and his three warriors also seemed ready for death.

The two Region Three soldiers also prepared themselves and the priest? He laughed.

At first with a weak sound, almost like a cough, but

little by little the laugh became more real.

Blood came down from the corner of his mouth, but his smile did not disappear.

"Kill me, do you think the blood of a few priests will change anything? Do you think by killing us you can stop what has been promised?"

Lian kept his hand there and the priest took a short breath.

"The Child of Light will descend soon." His voice was firmer this time and something appeared in his eyes that pain and tiredness could not put out.

"And when he comes, all the blood you savage barbarians have spilled will be answered for. Every shrine you burned, every priest you killed, and every relic you stole... all of them."

He was no longer listening to the threats, two words remained in his mind.

Child of Light.

His hand slowly lowered and his head turned toward his best friend.

Kain also seemed to have realized something, he was not stupid either and those two words were enough to make several things come to his mind.

[Child of Light.] It was the name of his talent.

Tear of Witness, then the reaction of the shrine and the sphere Of Witness, or even the pure Light that the Region Three priests had immediately recognized.

And now it seemed that there was also a prophecy.

All of this was enough for Lian to reach a complete conclusion and a logical explanation, no matter how stupid it sounded, there could only be one explanation.

"I think your Child of Light is standing right in front of you right now." He looked at the priest again.

"What did you say?" The priest even forgot his pain for a moment.

"Him." But in response, the young Vorhelm only pointed at his friend.

Kain followed Lian’s finger down and then looked at himself.

"Why did you suddenly bring me into these people’s cult?" Then he sighed, he had also reached the same conclusion himself, but he did not feel good about it at all.

But Lian completely ignored him.

"Old man, just think for a moment, the Tear of Witness chose him, the sphere Of Witness chose him by itself, and your shrine responded to his Light without the ritual you had been preparing for him for several days."

"And as far as I saw, among everyone here who used Light, his Light was the purest."

The priest remained motionless and then shook his head.

"No."

"No... that’s impossible."

Disbelief could be seen in his eyes ... he had heard something that he would rather die than have it be true....

"I guess your god chose a barbarian as the Child of Light."
