Chapter 409: What Is the Flame God

The second tier of the Inquisitor class is called 'Executioner.'

On the global ranking of class strength, this rare class ranks seventh.

The top ten classes are all considered to be at the T0 level.

What does this mean?

It means that no matter who you are, as long as your talent isn't too poor, you will be heavily nurtured by your country.

Yes...

Sometimes, the strength of a class can really make others overlook your other shortcomings.

Because of this, in many duels, you can often hear the losing side saying stubborn words.

"It's not you they're after, but your class!"

After the Inquisitor class advances to 'Executioner,' it gains a second-tier exclusive class passive: 'Punish Evil, Exterminate Wickedness.'

[Punish Evil, Exterminate Wickedness (S): 50% of the damage dealt by some of your class-specific skills will be converted into true damage.]

As luck would have it.

The 'Words of Fire' here is one of those 'class-specific skills.'

Thus...

In a state of complete unawareness, even anticipating victory with premature cheers, the members of the Holy Light Empire directly endured the flames spewed toward them.

The result was that, except for the two princesses and a few individuals with rare talents like 'Undying Bloodpool' and 'Rebirth,' who miraculously survived the sea of fire...

All the other team members perished.

The 'Shared Damage' completely caused the damage absorption system of all the Holy Spirit Armors to collapse.

The 'Shared Feedback' also doubled the intense pain of being burned alive in everyone's minds.

These 'shared bonds' of the Holy Spirit Armor were actually added after seeing the existence of the Twilight Race.

As it turns out, after having these 'shared bonds,' the Holy Light Empire's warriors became even more flawless in their coordination on the battlefield, unmatched by any opponent.

However, some people took the opportunity to raise a point...

While most shared bonds only have advantages with almost no disadvantages.

The 'Shared Damage' bond, however, has both pros and cons.

The advantage is that every warrior wearing the Holy Spirit Armor won't be easily killed because others will help share your damage.

But there are two drawbacks.

The first is that if you're specifically targeted by the enemy, your teammates will have to continually help you bear the extra damage.

In simple terms, someone becomes the breakthrough point.

The second is: what if all the Holy Spirit Armors that form the bond are attacked at once?

The designers of the armor have considered whether to cancel the 'Shared Damage' bond mechanism.

But after thinking it over, it seemed that keeping this bond was more advantageous than harmful.

First of all, there are only one hundred suits of armor, and those eligible to wear them are definitely not weak.

So these powerful individuals shouldn't be in situations where someone is used as a breakthrough point or where they're all collectively attacked.

However...

The designers never expected the worst-case scenario to happen here.

All the team members suffered a catastrophic attack simultaneously!!

In an instant, they were all wiped out!

Only a few lucky Holy Spirit Barriers and the two princesses remained.

As for how the two princesses managed to escape...

It was naturally thanks to Princess Saint Luni, who dismantled her armor in time and unfurled her four wings, using an S-tier talent to resist the true damage from the flames, shielding herself and her sister.

This allowed them to escape safely from the sea of fire.

"Damn it! What did he do...?"

Although Princess Saint Luni was not severely injured, her expression was extremely grim at this moment!

Her once charming and rosy face now exuded a murderous intent!

On the side, Princess Saint Lucy was staring blankly at the vast sea of fire before her.

She really didn't understand why this happened!

But she knew it was definitely the work of that non-specialist!

Of course...

It's not just her who was puzzled by this.

Even all the members of the Dragon Nation team were dumbfounded as they stared at the still-burning inferno on the plain.

"This..."

They had already prepared to fight to the death.

They were even ready to be burned alive.

But...

Is this it?

Li Chaoge glanced at the blazing inferno in the distance, then at the three figures who remained indifferent and cold throughout.

It must be him!

It definitely was him!

It had to be him!

If it wasn't his doing, I, Li Chaoge, will eat my own sword on the spot!

She was right.

Because in the next second...

Ling Zhan proved the truth to everyone!!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

To the shock and horror of all the spectators, the ten 'Words of Fire' spirits, which had annihilated their own teammates, did not disappear even after the Inquisitor's death!

Instead, they marched through the blazing sea of fire with earth-shaking steps...

Boom!!

The ten flame figures kneeled on one knee before Ling Zhan.

As if this small figure was their supreme ruler!!

What is a Flame God!?

This is the Flame God!!

The moment the Inquisitor summoned the 'Words of Fire'...

Ling Zhan almost couldn't help but laugh.

He never forgot the time he almost failed his Flame God skill achievement task due to overtime!

The Flame God title's attributes allow Ling Zhan to make all flames submit!

This isn't an active skill, nor is it an active talent!

It's a title effect!

Princess Saint Luni probably never dreamed that the reason her team was wiped out was merely because of a title!

At this moment, as the ten divine flame spirits knelt before Ling Zhan.

Every spectator stood up in awe!!

"Holy crap!! I knew it, it's him again!"

"What the hell? I thought he had turned the Inquisitor against them, but I never expected he could directly turn the spirit of the Words of Fire against them!?"

"After today, I bet all the Inquisitors in the world won't be able to sleep!"

"Yeah! A top 7 class on the global strength rankings, and its S-tier spirit skill got turned against it!"

"This means that this non-specialist has the ability to turn spirits against their masters! And it's not even within the scope of active skills or talents!"

"This is absolutely insane!!"

"..."

Countless spectators were astonished by the earlier betrayal.

Even more amazed at Ling Zhan's mysterious ability to turn spirits against their masters.

If he can even turn spirits against their masters...

Then what about summoned creatures, mechs...

Or even someone's contracted beast—can he turn those too?

What kind of ability is this?

Many strong individuals began to feel a bit uneasy.

Actually...

The most panicked one was Prince Saint Louis in the top-tier VIP box!

Earlier, he was certain that he wouldn't suffer the consequences of his hubris, but now his stubbled face had turned as red as a pig's liver!

Even those nobles and ministers who had prematurely popped champagne were pale-faced, their fat bodies trembling like sieves.
