Act 15 Azure Light Piercing_2

Just like now.

Ben gasped for air, closing his eyes. A sense of surviving a disaster made him tremble uncontrollably. But our hero knew he couldn't relax, his time was running out.

Six seconds.

The young man almost supported himself to turn over with his willpower. He crawled towards the tomb filled with a sacred atmosphere and first saw the sword displayed on the stone coffin: Azure Light Piercing. But he was not concerned with that right now; he was looking for something else.

Three seconds.

His eyes locked on a tomb on the second level, second compartment on the left. He tore off the cobwebs, reached in, and as a bunch of bugs crawled out, he took out a bottle.

A No. 12 long-neck bottle custom-made by the Holy Temple, with a fire mark on it. Ben turned over and couldn't help but press the bottle against his chest, breathing heavily, as if trying to use all his strength to feel this fortunate survival.

The last moment of time was still there, the pounding heartbeat reminding him. Ben almost tremblingly removed the wooden stopper from the bottle and then tilted his head back, pouring the swaying liquid inside into his mouth. At first, a bitter taste filled his taste buds, but this flavor was so pure, our hero couldn't help but praise the deity in his heart—

No. 7 Holy Water (16Oz), ordered to begin manufacturing by White Robe Priest Tamara in the Year of the Flower to cope with the increasing consumption at the frontline. It is a substitute for No. 5 Holy Water, able to restore 25 points of life, but only effective on non-fatal wounds.

Ben remembered this stuff was the most common and widespread commodity in the game.

The holy water took effect immediately, first healing the abrasions on his limbs, almost at a visible speed. Then there were the sword wounds, the tingling effect lasting for several minutes before it stopped. Ben tried taking a deep breath and immediately found that the feeling of breathlessness was completely gone.

He opened his eyes and found that the Stone Statue Ghost outside had not chased in, which, of course, wasn't because it was afraid of the Wind Queen's Ring to such an extent. Ben guessed it was because the monster simply couldn't enter the tomb room, and with his game experience, he knew that many of these tombs of knights had corresponding sacred barriers that did not allow evil creatures to desecrate.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and sat up to check his injuries.

Probably the only wound left was the one from the earlier sword strike, as it was a fatal injury to the abdomen, making the effect of No. 7 Holy Water very limited.

But that was entirely enough. Ben stood up from the ground, unable to help but want to shout out in excitement. This was almost the best state he had been in since coming to this world: no pain, the weakness gone, and he could freely call upon his physical strength. The young man couldn't help but let out a long breath, his heart stirring for a long time—Martha above, he actually made it through such a tough situation; he could hardly believe it himself.

What a pride, what an honor.

He clenched his fist, finally calming his tumultuous emotions. Because he still remembered Frey and Essen; it was now time to carry out the next plan.

Of course, before that, he turned his head, his gaze falling on the sparkling sword on the stone coffin—Azure Light Piercing. Leaf-blade swords were rare in the human world because this was an elven treasure sword.

Ben followed the silver-thread woven guard upwards and indeed saw those two lines of fine elven script on the sword:

'The sword born of light, all enemies tremble with fear—'

He had not seen this sword before, but he knew its reputation. Legend had it that Azure Light Piercing was a Level 19 antique longsword, not only extremely sharp but also enhancing the bearer's strength, will, and constitution by 1 energy level each. What concept was it to increase strength and constitution by 1 energy level at low levels—this meant that if Ben used it, his strength and constitution would directly be doubled compared to an ordinary person.

And the most crucial thing was, some people had seen that Azure Light Piercing in the game possessed the ability many dreamed of: to detect undead. As long as undead approached the sword, it would emit a brilliant light, which was also the origin of its name.

Looking at the sword, Ben felt a bit sentimental. In the game, elves had made a total of seventeen swords of the same type, but by the end of the First Epoch, most had been collected and destroyed by Madara's Dark Lords, leaving only three.
