Chapter 75: Chapter 65: I Will Attack in Priest Form!!

Two streams of Holy Power intertwined and seeped into his muscles, forging every inch of them into a structure as tough as a giant wolf’s sinew.

The Ratman Warriors’ Bone Blades struck his arms, only managing to create a few sparks. Their sharpened short spears pierced his flesh but merely scraped open a white mark that oozed blood.

And those Combat Skills, which the Ratmen considered lethal weapons, were as meaningless as a child scratching a city wall with a wooden stick against the body of a powerful Priest imbued with the faith of Sigmar.

This scene left Axenel dumbfounded.

’Huh!?’

’He can’t be hurt!?’

’This guy is a Transcendent too!?’

Before it could recover from its shock, Qin Feng, now certain of his own invincibility, suddenly sneered.

Then, his Ancient Wood Battle Shield violently swatted aside three short spears. The Lord’s Longsword tore through the air like an angry dragon emerging from the abyss. He completely abandoned defense and unleashed an explosive offense, smashing down on the Ratman Warrior before him with world-ending momentum.

[You have killed a “Golden Deer Tribe Ratman Warrior.” Influenced by the “Bloodthirsty” Talent, your Life Value has permanently increased by one point. You have obtained 1 Dinar.]

[You have taken a slashing attack from a Ratman Warrior. Life Value -2!]

[The “Evil Aura” Talent is in effect. Life Value +1!]

[You have killed a “Golden Deer Tribe Ratman Warrior.” Influenced by the “Bloodthirsty” Talent, your Life Value has permanently increased by one point…]

’Damn it!’

’The other Ratmen can’t do a thing to this damned human!’

’I have to act now!’

At this moment, Axenel watched his fellow Ratmen’s attacks amount to nothing more than a scratch, and its beastly eyes burned with anxiety.

Its original plan to wear down his health with cannon fodder had completely failed. It could only directly activate the skill “Heroic Spirit Charge.” Its blade, wrapped in a golden halo, slammed into Qin Feng’s chest like a Siege Hammer. The powerful airflow exploded into indigo ripples, sending three nearby Ratman Warriors flying backward.

[You have taken damage from Ratman Hero Axenel’s “Heroic Spirit Charge” skill. Life Value -52!]

’That’s it?’

’Fifty-two points of damage?’

’Not even half the damage of my Triple Shot?’

With that thought, Qin Feng flicked his wrist and delivered a Horizontal Slash. The blade hummed as it tore through the air, precisely striking an exposed area on Axenel where its Beast Hide Armor offered no protection.

[You launched a normal attack against Ratman Hero Axenel. Influenced by the “Tribe’s Glory” Talent, all of the opponent’s Attributes are increased by 50%. You only dealt 44 points of physical damage with this attack!]

[The opponent has activated Ancestral Soul! Attack greatly increased! Attack speed greatly increased!]

In an instant, the battlefield became an inferno of clashing steel.

Qin Feng’s and Axenel’s blades crossed like a violent storm, every collision spraying blinding sparks.

The dull thud of the shield when blocking, the sharp whistle of a slash cutting through the air, and the sound of Bone Blades from Ratman Warriors lunging from blind spots all wove together into a bloody battle hymn.

Both of their health bars dropped like sand in an hourglass, falling below the red line in the blink of an eye.

Dark red beads of blood splashed onto Qin Feng’s eyelashes, blurring his vision. The Beast Hide Armor on Axenel’s shoulder was torn open, revealing a gruesome gash of exposed flesh.

In their heavily wounded states, both of their movements grew sluggish and their vision became increasingly blurry. Every breath carried the metallic, sweet tang of rust.

“Heh heh…”

“Human…”

“I admit, you are indeed very strong. I’m no match for you in a one-on-one fight. I couldn’t even seriously injure you…”

“But you can’t hold on much longer…”

“And I still have four Ratman Warriors on my side. As long as they keep sacrificing themselves to block your attacks and create an opening for me…”

“you will die by my sword…”

Qin Feng didn’t reply. Instead, he silently parried an attack from a nearby Ratman Warrior with the edge of his sword, then turned and quickly retreated to create distance between them before unleashing the only Active Skill known to a Sigmar Combat Priest.

Healing Hand!

VWOOM!

A ten-meter-diameter Healing Barrier exploded outward from his feet. Gilded patterns spread across the ground like living things as he stood at the barrier’s core, feeling the Divine Power of Sigmar surge through his limbs like a warm current.

[You have summoned a Healing Barrier. Standing in its center, you are beginning to recover Life Value!]

[Influenced by the Healing Barrier, your Life Value is restored by 14 points!]

[Influenced by the Evil Aura Talent, your Life Value is restored by 1 point!]

[Influenced by the Healing Barrier, your Life Value is restored by 14 points!]

[Influenced by…]

At this moment, Qin Feng’s health bar was rapidly regenerating at a rate of 15 points per second, and his torn flesh was quickly scabbing over in the golden light.

Axenel stared at the rapidly healing wounds, its beastly eyes practically bulging out of their sockets:

“H-Healing Magic!?”

Qin Feng lowered his gaze to wipe the blood from his blade, the corner of his eye catching the sight of the other’s ashen, beastly face.

’Hmph!’

’So you think you have numbers on your side?’

’What damn use are your numbers!’

’Out here in the world, it’s all about backing!’

’It’s all about your background!’

’I’ve got Sigmar, the guardian god of all humanity, backing me up!’

’What do you have standing behind you?’

’Besides!’

’If it weren’t for the fact that the invincible “Boiling” skill can only be cast on my Divine Chosen Army—not on myself or any other allies!’

’I would’ve already turned into an Infinite Sword Saint and used Highland Bloodline to cut you all down!’

’I have no idea what you’re so smug about.’

’Do you really think you can win?’

With that, Qin Feng pulled two unused “Healing Potions” from his backpack and chugged them down.

[You used a Healing Potion (Small). Your Life Value is restored by 50 points!]

[You used a Healing Potion (Small). Your Life Value is restored by 50 points!]

’Excellent.’

’Back to full health.’

’Now, it’s time to finish off this brainless, idiotic hero.’

’War God leaps!’

’The enemy sleeps!’

’Charge!’

Relying on his combat power, now back at full health and in peak condition, Qin Feng was like the War God Kratos himself single-handedly storming Mount Olympus as he easily withstood the joint attacks of several enemies.

Then, he went on a rampage in the battle formation, cutting them down like vegetables. Clashing weapons sent out blinding sparks, and every swing of his sword was accompanied by a spray of crimson blood.

When the last Ratman fell in a pool of blood.

Axenel, now in a near-death state, was struggling, dragging its injured leg.

At this point, it didn’t even have the strength to lift its Longsword, and its eyes held nothing but the fear and panic of death.

Qin Feng slowly approached.

His blade glinted red in the torchlight.

He wasted no words on the Ratman hero who saw humans as its mortal enemy, instead swinging his blade without hesitation and cutting off its head.

[Battle Over!]

[Your Sigmar Combat Priest level has increased to 3! Your Attributes have been raised accordingly!]

[Your Life Value has been permanently increased thanks to “Bloodthirsty”!]

[Some of your Attribute Values have been permanently increased thanks to “Bloodthirsty”!]

[In this battle, all opponents fought to the death and would not surrender. You did not manage to capture any enemies!]

[By slaying a Divine Chosen One and offering their Divine Chosen soul, you have received the favor of the King of War and obtained Divine Chosen Spoils from the enemy’s corpse… Dragon Crystal x5, Flame Shield (Blue), Wall Building Blueprint, Healing Potion (Medium) x1, Healing Potion (Small) x1, several white-rarity weapons, several white-rarity armor pieces.]

[Flame Shield: A blue-quality elite shield providing +25 Armor, +250 Extra Life Value, and 20% Fire Resistance.]

[Wall Building Blueprint: Consume a large amount of Stone to build sturdy walls surrounding the entire territory. The wall’s level can be raised by consuming additional materials, which requires a higher-level Lord’s Hall. Higher-level walls have greater Durability, but require more numerous and complex materials to upgrade and repair. (This structure, along with other conventional buildings, can be destroyed directly. Only the Lord’s Hall must be destroyed via a “capture process.”)]

’Not bad.’

’That Axenel may have been as dumb as a rock, but the Divine Chosen Spoils it dropped are pretty damn good.’

’Five Dragon Crystals, plus the ones left over from upgrading the Middle-earth Warhammer, brings my total to 45.’

’If I can figure out how to get 5 more, I’ll be able to upgrade Recruit Prisoners to Level 2.’

’The Flame Shield, a blue-quality shield, is the perfect replacement for my completely shattered Ancient Wood Battle Shield. It can be my new equipment as a Priest.’

’And I don’t even need to mention the Wall Building Blueprint.’

’It’s an absolute necessity.’

“Whew, satisfying. I guess getting swarmed and beaten so badly was worth it, even if I had to waste two Healing Potions…”
