Chapter 1313 - 1313 Piety Hall
1313 Piety Hall
Fang Heng’s gaze swept across the four people gathered not far away. They were whispering something together and looked like players.
“Alright.”
Buzz …
The central crystal pillar emitted a faint halo of light.
Seeing this, everyone who had gathered in front of the crystal pillar pushed back and remained vigilant.
Fang Heng’s gaze once again focused on the large crystal pillar.
Eh?
The remnant chapter!
Upon closer inspection, a dark yellow remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths appeared in the center of the crystal pillar.
The remnant chapter appeared and disappeared from time to time.
The dark golden light emitted by the crystal pillar slowly spread to the surroundings.
Fang Heng carefully took a step forward and found that the dark golden light did not do any damage. Therefore, he mustered up his courage and took a few more steps forward, trying to reach out his hand to touch the remnant chapter through the crystal.
He had just raised his hand and had yet to get close when…
“Buzz…!!!”
Suddenly, a golden light bloomed from the crystal pillar!
The light shone on everyone.
[Hint: You have been affected by the healing effect, and your HP recovery speed has increased.]
[Hint: You are protected by an unknown strength.]
Fang Heng stopped in his tracks and frowned. He suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.
Tsk tsk tsk…
A strange sound rang out around the crystal pillar.
Immediately after, dark golden light spots flickered in the air like electric currents and condensed one after another.
More and more light spots gathered. In less than a minute, the light spots gradually formed fist-sized light balls.
What was that?
The followers below looked up at the golden spheres.
“Chi, chi, chi…”
Spikes of different sizes gradually protruded from the surface of the ball!
This time, the number of followers who chose to participate in God’s Choice Ritual was ten times more than before. Other than Fang Heng, there were also many players participating.
One of the players happened to have a perception-type talent and was continuously releasing skills to investigate the golden ball. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong and shouted, “Be careful!”
“Whoosh!”
The ball covered in spikes flew straight towards him!
“Tsk!”
The player shouted and quickly stopped using his innate skill. He dodged to the side in a panic.
In the next moment, the balls in the air gradually trembled and flew toward the followers who were undergoing the test!
“Run!”
“Move aside!!!”
The followers shouted and ran in all directions. However, the entire hall had been sealed off and there was no place to run. For a moment, the entire venue became chaotic.
A follower who was a little far away from the central crystal pillar ran to the wall and suddenly noticed the wooden box by his feet.
The wooden box was not locked.
Weapons?!
The follower opened the wooden box and found that it was filled with equipment and weapons. He could not help but shout.
“Everyone! There are weapons in the box!”
Hearing this, the followers immediately realized that the box might have been deliberately left behind by the Holy Court for them to deal with this trial. They all approached the box at the edge of the hall.
Fang Heng, who was the closest to the crystal pillar, also became the target of the spiked ball of light.
Fang Heng sensed the danger and retreated immediately. However, a spiked ball of light still flew toward him.
Yimamu pulled Fang Heng away from the attack of the spiked ball of light and covered Fang Heng as they ran towards the wooden box on the right side.
“Brother! Follow me, we’ll go there!”
“Alright.”
Other than his mental strength, Fang Heng’s other attributes had been greatly weakened. He estimated that he would lose more than half of his HP if he was hit by the spiked ball of light. He did not dare to be careless and hurriedly followed Yimamu to the box beside the wall not far away.
Yimamu’s combat ability was not weak. He predicted the trajectory of the golden spiked ball of light and led Fang Heng to dodge left and right. At the same time, he did not forget to whisper instructions.
“Fang Shuo, follow me carefully. I’ll try my best to cover you. My special talent is related to perception. I can feel that someone has been spying on us in the dark. It’s very likely that it’s someone from the Holy Court. Wait, don’t expose any skills other than the sacred study.”
“Yes.”
At this critical moment, Yimamu did not forget to bring Fang Heng along.
Other than Fang Heng being his employer, what Fang Heng had just done in the square was very shocking. Yimamu felt that Fang Heng would definitely soar after he joined the Holy Court, so he also had the intention of fawning over him.
“Boom!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
At first, the flying Holy Light spiked balls of light weren’t fast, but they gradually began to accelerate.
The speed at which the golden ball of light condensed also became faster and faster.
For a moment, the hall was filled with flying spiked balls of light, leaving less and less space for the followers to dodge.
A few followers who were completely defenseless were hit by the spiked balls of light. After being knocked down, they fainted and lay on the ground motionless. Their bodies were then enveloped in a faint dark golden light.
A few clever followers saw that the situation was not good, so they simply lay down on the spot and pretended to faint.
They did not expect that the spiked ball of light had some kind of sensory ability, and it still crashed toward them to finish them off.
“Bang! Bang!”
The spiked ball of light completely knocked out the followers who were pretending to be unconscious.
The ‘playing dead’ tactic had no effect. Instead, it bought some time for the others.
Yimamu brought Fang Heng to the wooden box at the edge of the hall and opened it.
The box was filled with weapons.
Yimamu took out an unopened metal cleaver from the box and weighed it in his hand. He then looked at Fang Heng with a questioning look.
Fang Heng shook his head silently.
With his current attributes, he was not suitable for close combat.
Yimamu was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and shouted, “Move aside!”
Fang Heng immediately tilted his head and dodged.
“Whoosh!”
The blade brushed past Fang Heng’s ear and crashed into the sharp light ball that was coming from the right!
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the spiked ball of light was sent flying.
“D*mn, that was really hard…”
Yimamu gritted his teeth and shook his slightly numb wrist.
“Fang Shuo, you…”
Yimamu was about to say something to Fang Heng when he realized that there was no one beside him. He turned around and saw that Fang Heng was already rummaging through the box.
Fang Heng quickly rummaged through the weapons in the box.
If melee combat wasn’t good enough, he could choose a long-range magic skill.
Fang Heng casually pulled open the melee weapons on the top of the box and found a wooden scepter underneath.
[Item: The gifted scepter of the trial.]
Equipment requirement: Basic sacred study.
Description: A basic scepter provided by the Holy Court. When equipped, it increases the success rate of holy spells by 3%.
Description: Additional skill-Holy Light shield (basic).
Description: A special item, cannot be stored in the backpack.
Fang Heng checked the attributes of the wooden scepter and tried to weigh the scepter in his hand like Yimamu.
“Not bad…”
It was already very rare for a basic weapon to have an additional skill.
Moreover, it was not heavy. It was very suitable for his current weak physique.
If it was a metal scepter, it might take more effort to use it.
