Chapter 38 Domain of Radiance
“Young Lady, you are a Mage, don’t rush to the front!”
Ig was afraid that the Young Lady, who had gotten excited, would expose her Phoenix identity, so he quickly reminded her of the identity she was “playing.”
Verafia raised her little face rebelliously, and just as she was about to retort, at that moment, Ronald at the forefront of the battle line suddenly thrust his sword into the ground.
“This is…”
Verafia’s scorching gold pupils flickered slightly. In her sight, the Paladin, who was as dazzling as the sun from head to toe, erupted with powerful radiance, illuminating almost the entire sky.
An invisible “domain” spread with Ronald’s spirit amidst the light, empowering everyone present.
For a time, everyone shrouded in light was greatly energized, and the speed and power with which they swung their weapons, as well as the strength of their Dou Qi and Demonic Power, increased by several times compared to before!
“A Paladin’s class amplifying secret technique? This is quite a rare skill.”
Ig felt himself shrouded in light. He clenched his fist forcefully, sensing the visible and powerful increase, and shook his head.
“However, even the top-tier Gold Rank or even Platinum Rank group blessing skills can’t achieve this level… Could this be Ronald’s class talent?”
“Mr. Ig, you are correct.”
The voice came from Grisia, who was beside them and had just finished casting a round of wind blade magic.
The half-elf girl tilted her glowing staff. Her fair face was slightly pale from exertion, but her emerald blue pupils, gazing at the Paladin at the center of the light, could not hide her excitement.
“Lord Ronald’s talent is called the Domain of Radiance, and it is very rare in the entire Paladin profession! For Silver Rank warriors, the boost they receive when standing in such a domain can even increase their combat power by half a level!”
“Such a strong boost!”
Ig exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right!”
Grisia took a breath and looked at Verafia’s face beside her, which looked even more exquisite and fair under the light. She explained with a soft smile.
“Mr. Ig, to be honest, in everyone’s eyes, Lord Ronald’s importance is no less than Mr. Hel’s. Our Adventuring Party has been able to develop to this extent in just three years, and much of it is thanks to Lord Ronald’s talent.”
“So that’s how it is. Young Lady, I heard that His Majesty Lancaster also has a similar talent… It seems to be called the Sacred Radiance Banner?”
Verafia immediately fell silent. She just slightly raised her face and gazed forward. Her gorgeous, jade-like snowy cheeks were stained with radiance, and hidden within the luxurious, brilliant, scorching gold colors were the thoughts in her pupils.
The blessed Sacred Light… behind the Knight’s figure, the unyielding Sacred Radiance Banner. Once, he was the one most detested by all invading demons.
Verafia shook her head slightly, her gaze returning to the Paladin at the center of the light domain. After suppressing the emotions of sadness and anger in her heart, only a detached gaze remained beneath her curious pupils.
A gentle arc was drawn on the girl’s pure and pretty face. She turned her head and smiled charmingly at Ig.
“Of course! Mr. Ig, your King’s talent is extraordinary. It is almost the most terrifying in the history of the Paladin profession. If it weren’t for him, your human race might have already been wiped out by the Demon King!”
—
With the boost of Ronald’s Domain of Radiance, the warriors of the Cyclone Wing Adventuring Party quickly gained the upper hand.
Various magic spells and arrows poured down like a rainstorm. In a short time, wounds appeared on the bodies of the huge Mountain Apes, flowing with gushing blood, and many were already heavily injured or completely killed.
Even when the Dragon Crystal Flame Burst Tree, burning with flames all over its body, and the Treants it controlled arrived on the battlefield, they were still unable to turn the tide under the attacks of the Adventuring Party and Verafia’s Flame Magic. Instead, they were completely suppressed.
Hel’s broadsword surged with Dou Qi. His powerful sword momentum cut through the night like gold. The Gold Rank Mountain Apes he blocked were also focused-fired by the Mages and archers who had freed up their attacks. Wounds and blood appeared beneath their thick leather armor and fur.
“Roar!”
The Lord of the Mountain Apes roared with blood-red eyes, its furious roar seemingly shaking the earth. However, under the siege of the powerful Gold Rank warriors and other Adventuring Party members, the defeat was evident.
Ig gripped his sword tightly, guarding Verafia in front of him. The rampant bloodiness and roars in the field still made Ig slightly uncomfortable, and his face was a little pale.
After all, as the only son of a Marquis Lord, even though Ig had gone through training before, this was the first time he had directly faced life-and-death, bloody combat.
Ig turned his face to look at Verafia beside him. The girl’s youthful, jade-like face showed no change in expression; she was still excited. Seeing Ig’s gaze, she even teased him.
“What, Mr. Ig, you can’t stand it? Heh heh, I told you, if a noob like you is scared, I won’t laugh at you even if you scream!”
Yes… this Phoenix Young Lady could not be compared to ordinary human girls. How could she be afraid?
Ig complained inwardly. He tried to cover up the abnormality on his face and smiled, shaking his head, “Young Lady, are we about to win?”
As Ig spoke, Grisia finished chanting and the wind blade she cast with her staff heavily struck a lower-level Flame Burst Tree being surrounded by Adventuring Party warriors, severing a vine covered in blue crystals and causing hot blue flame-blood to flow out.
The giant flame Treant’s counterattack, like a vent, did not cause significant damage to the Adventuring Party members surrounding it, with the protection of Paladin Ronald. After being weakened by countless wounds, its aura became increasingly weak.
“Mr. Ig, of course,”
Grisia’s expression became more and more relaxed. The girl even had time to rest her staff for a moment, smiling as she replied for Verafia.
“With our Adventuring Party’s strength, dealing with just one Flame Burst Tree and one Mountain Ape would not be a difficult task. The only concern was the wood-elemental Treants under their command. But since Miss Verafia’s magic is here, their attendants are the least of our worries.”
Grisia pointed her slender hand at the Mountain Ape, which was becoming increasingly weak and sluggish in the siege.
“Mr. Ig, look, once that Magical Beast is defeated by Leader Hel, we will be completely victorious!”
Verafia raised her little face, her scorching gold pupils gazing at the increasingly deep night sky under the radiance of Dou Qi and magic.
“That’s not necessarily true, you know.”
The girl wagged her fingertips. A playful expression appeared on her delicate, porcelain-like fair face.
