Chapter 147

The Most Powerful Spiritist On Earth (2)

The Goddesses had blessed the Top Three with youth that lasted until death.

It wasnt just that their aging process didnt occur.

It meant that they were always at their peak physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Naturally, such a huge gap was bound to widen.

As the years went by, while those ranked below them stayed in their place, they continued climbing up!

Leon Hart trembled.

Was it that beneficial to stay young?

However, he didnt feel it.

It hadnt been that long since he was blessed, after all.

But when he thought about it

With normal aging, they wouldnt have gotten that strong. The same can be said for me.

He understood why Holliens level was so high.

The Fairy clan of Latna was slower in level growth than the human race.

Like Dragons, they lived many times longer.

On the other hand, the rising curve was a bit different from the Dragons.

Their skills rarely rose until around 100 years old, which was equivalent to the boyhood of the Nymphs.

However, at that point, they would improve their skills at a rate comparable to that of humans until they were 150 years old, which was their full maturity. After that, the level increase would slow down sharply again.

And when they were over 250 years old, it would stop completely.

The currently known age of the Fairy Queen was 203 years old, and she was in the maturity stage.

Originally, the rate at which her level rose shouldve slowed down tremendously.

But since shes gone back to her prime, she could continue to improve her skills.

The Nymphs were young and beautiful, seemingly without any difference between maturity.

Jesus, I could have guessed her level

The Sword King, Baotolt, defeated the divine Kruse Murg, whose estimated level was 170.

And the Top Three were considered to be the same as the Sword King.

Although Baotolt was the strongest, the gap wasnt large.

Such peoples level couldnt be just around the 130s.

The news of the Sword Kings death was so shocking that I couldnt think of it.

Leon Hart looked back at Kibie with resentment.

With all due respect, youve given mortals a weapon too powerful for our own good.

Kibie had a bitter look on her face.

The Goddesses did expect that.

Back then, we thought we would be able to prevent continuous attacks by giving them that kind of benefit.

Thus, every 12 years, the Goddesses continued to bless the world with guardians of Latna at a level that didnt break the worlds balance.

They never dreamed that the Goddesses creations would rebel against them with that power.

Anyway, Han-bin didnt see it wrong.

After shaking his head, Leon Hart turned back to the battlefield.

Now I cant run away

They had no choice but to look more closely and find weaknesses somehow.

* * *

Thanks to the Transcendentals formidable spiritual arts, the Allendia Army managed to engage in a tight race against the nights monsters.

Nevertheless, they didnt win.

As expected, there were too many monsters. The average level was too high.

As time went by, they were pushed back little by little.

Hollien wasnt embarrassed.

I expected this to happen.

The essence of victory was to dominate the enemy with a stronger power than the opponent.

It was the condition of a true master to preempt the terrain, secure information, and fight only in situations that they could win.

However, the public was enthusiastic about the weak destroying the strong.

When fighting thousands of enemies with 300 men, defeating 133 enemy ships with 12 ships, and showing victory against all odds, they burst into cheers and praise.

Hence, she had purposely brought in only the right amount of troops.

The real purpose of the battle wasnt to win but to appease the public.

It could further enhance the prestige of the Transcendental.

Of course, if were defeated like this, well have nothing to say.

She had already pushed the soldiers back.

At that point, it was time to show off her power.

Hollien once again extended her arms from side to side.

Light of Althea! Expand your radiance through the world through my hands!

The vast Prana became rays of light, bombarding the battlefield.

* * *

It was a very chaotic mess.

The cries of monsters and knights were mixed everywhere.

Argh!

Grrrr!

Hang in there!

Never back down!

A hunter clicked his tongue after cutting the Great Orc in front of him vertically.

Jesus, it wouldve been better to form a defensive position and wait

There were only blood, corpses, and monsters everywhere.

Nobody was certain if the troops were winning or losing.

Another hunter gritted his teeth as if he didnt understand.

I mean, why did we have to go head-to-head? Theyll charge at us on their own anyway!

The Allendia Army had set up positions on the Turricon Plains in advance.

It meant that they could prepare the terrain against enemy attacks.

However, as soon as the nights monsters appeared, all their eyes turned red and launched a reckless charge.

There was no need to engage in a war of attrition in the middle of the field against monsters that rushed recklessly in madness.

Rather, it was much more advantageous to form a defense line and respond tactically.

No, the Transcendental didnt even know such basic tactical sense?

Isnt this the wrong approach?

The Hunters felt nervous.

Taaa!

Light covered the Turricon Plains.

Throughout the vast range of battlefields, a curtain of light swept through the waves.

A huge light membrane of several kilometers separated the monsters from the Allendian Army and emanated as a dazzling wall.

Now that Ive laid the foundation

Mumbling, Hollien finished signing.

Contrary to the Hunters misunderstanding, she wasnt ignorant of strategies.

Although she might not be a professional military commander, she had basic common sense.

Why wouldnt she know that its much more advantageous to choose the right terrain, build a formation, and deploy troops in the right place?

Nevertheless, she intentionally pushed the entire army into the field.

It was all for the trick that would follow.

I establish the authority of the Queen on this land!

She completed the spiritual art by putting her hands together.

Unique Spiritual Art: Citadel of Innumerable Changes!

Rumble!

The curtain of light fluctuated with a roar.

And in an instant, it started to change its shape.

A huge wall stood between the soldiers and the monsters.

A tall tower rose under the archers feet, who were shaking as they fired volleys of arrows.

The earth cracked, and the moat dug, causing a torrent of light to swirl.

The movement of the monsters slowed down as their screams erupted.

Crrr?

Argh!

The two sides, which had been fighting in a chaotic mix, were separated.

Archers stood at the windows of the pagoda and looked down at the monsters.

The embarrassed Allendia Army looked around and hummed.

What the hell is this?

Is this a spiritual barrier?

What kind of barrier is this big? Its a citadel!

It truly was.

It was no longer a wall or a maze.

A huge citadel of light, hundreds of meters long, was shining elegantly!

Hollien grinned as she lowered her hands.

This citadel is a pretty good one.

Instead of deploying troops in the right place, she made deployed the right place below the troops.

It was the power of her unique spiritual art, the Citadel of Innumerable Changes.

That was why she intentionally made the Allendian Army charge head-on against the monsters.

They could attack first and defend later.

Look!

The Queen is watching us!

Everyone understood the situation even if there were no cries from the knights.

The situation no longer made the troops struggle in the fields.

Defended by a perfect fortress, they fought their enemy!

Wow!

Long live the Queen!

Long live the Transcendental!

The Allendian Army, which was given an advantageous position, began to hunt down the rushing monsters.

* * *

Looking at the imposing sight of the citadel of light rising in the middle of the Turricon Plains, Ryu Han-bin looked blank.

Wow, can she do that with the spiritual arts alone?

In a traditional Korean fairytale, a goblin laid a stone bridge over a stream overnight. Wasnt it a simple miracle compared to that?

At the same time, he questioned it.

How could she do that? If she could do such a thing, she wouldve wiped out all the monsters with that power.

Then Leon Hart asked as if he didnt understand.

Thats how you Aliens think. Is that how science works?

What?

When you saw the water turn into wine, you thought you could turn wine into water as if it were natural for the two phenomena to be linked.

Huh, no?

I dont know why you think so, but theyre not linked.

Physically speaking, if someone had the power to break a stone, he could break a tree.

But that wasnt how Latnas magic or spiritual arts functioned.

The magic of breaking rocks only broke rocks.

The higher the level, the bigger and harder the rock could be broken, but it couldnt break trees or humans.

That was why Leon Harts prestige was so high.

He had done a feat of using Latnas magic, which was specialized in defense, recovery, and assistance, unorthodoxly.

Well, I was able to come up with this idea thanks to my frequent fights against the Aliens.

He turned back to the battlefield.

Stuck in the citadel of light, the Allendian troops were smashing the incoming monsters one by one swiftly.

If the monsters had a commander, they could try to reverse the situation by aiming for the vacant position of Hollien behind the citadel.

But they werent that intelligent.

Instead, they focused on attacking the citadel in front of them.

At that point, victory was definitely on Holliens side.

Thats not the only ways the Transcendental can fight.

Feeling embarrassed, Leon Hart scratched his chin.

This is troublesome. I need to learn more about her.

* * *

Hollien was wondering silently.

I cant get any experience, huh?

She used supportive spiritual arts on hundreds of allies and unique spiritual art on the battlefield.

Anyone could tell that she was the main force of the battle.

Nevertheless, there was no response to the Guideline.

Is it because the monsters level is too low?

She didnt think that was the case.

Garhan, Genovia, and Hollien conducted experiments as soon as they gained the [Near-Completion Omphaloss Blessing].

At that time, when they killed level 68 monsters, they still got experiences.

It wasnt that much, however.

Some of the nights monsters that attacked them were above level 80. It might not be the level.

Or is it because Im not killing them by myself?

That wouldve been strange as well.

According to Leslies explanation, the Alien Spiritist gained experience even if she was just assisting in combat.

You said that in party play mode, the experience would be distributed evenly by the number of people, or I can get a proportionate share of experience, right?

They werent in party play mode, but she didnt think they would recognize her as not participating in the battle because she had been more than influential enough in that fight.

Hollien, who was agonizing over it, stepped forward.

Lets see. Ill kill them myself.

Dazzling wings made of light unfolded on her back.
