Chapter 370: The Power of the Divine Crystal

Chapter 370: The Power of the Divine Crystal

As Ren released his dragon claws, a heavy object fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Plop!"

Merik opened its iron beak as if to say something, but its head tilted, and the unspoken words remained unspoken.

A

Ren swiftly reverted from his Dragonborn General Form back to his human form.

Suddenly, Ren noticed a black crystal, clear and translucent, sliding out from the edge of Merik's half-open iron beak.

To kill this young man, was it worth sacrificing countless members of her race? This was a question she had to consider as the leader of her clan.

The correct content is in the book, read it there!

M

"Huff!"

This was ridiculous!

Ren stared at the departing Cress, his eyes narrowing.

"Hmm?"

After returning, he would need to thoroughly research related information in the library.

Suddenly, Cress waved her hand, stretched lazily, revealing her graceful curves, and said, "Walkermas, let's call it even this time, but next time, I can't guarantee the same outcome. Make sure he doesn't come to the Beverley Mountains again."

"Of course, this is Lord Ren, the Imperial Swordbearer from the capital, Tamriel. I can't disclose the specifics to you." Gray, with his bushy sideburns, nodded with a proud expression.

"Yes, my lord," Ren smiled, producing the Diamond Swordswielder badge and the promotion letter from the Capital Swordswielder Headquarters, and handed them to Walkermas.

If there were channels to find or exchange for this item, his path to becoming a Crystal Mage would be within reach.

"Walkermas, are you trying to stop me?"

Such a young Golden Swordswielder? Could it be that the Swordswielder organization was about to gain another Imperial Guardian? At this thought, Walkermas's face was filled with joy.

"Are there any Imperial Guardians nearby?" Ren wondered.

Just then, a crisp female voice carried from a distance.

There was even a hint of fondness in her voice.

Ren's concerns were unnecessary.

Furthermore, she was confident in the power of her recent mental attack. Even if a Tier 3 Crystal Mage were caught off guard by her mental strike, they would still suffer severe damage.

T

"This should be an adult from the Capital Tamriel Swordswielder Headquarters, but I haven't heard of anyone so powerful from the branches." An elder who seemed familiar with the Swordswielder organization spoke up.

"Then I'll rest assured, Lord Gray. See you next time!"

Suddenly, Ren realized he didn't hate the Sea Goddess Hela as much.

His psychic energy had become purer, and with the same amount of psychic energy, Ren could now manipulate more energy particles.

He had thought that the young Swordbearer, Ren, would be heavily injured.

A

A silver behemoth soared into the sky, rushing towards Ren's location. Ren focused and saw that it was a silver dragon, resembling the 'Red Queen' Menia's red dragon, Tassa, but with a Gaping Maw: This silver dragon was more slender, streamlined, and faster.

"Of course, thank you for your help, Lord Walkermas," Ren said respectfully as he accepted the silver dragon scale.

E

R

But when she had gone to Merik's corpse, she confirmed that the Divine Crystal was no longer there.

"Merik must have used this object to pinpoint my location," Ren thought to himself.

As the Bloodfeather took to the skies, Ren swiftly flew south.

However, he didn't notice the changes on his side.

The error-free version is in the book, read it there!

"Walkermas, did you see me make a move? I didn't move at all." Cress spread her hands, her beautiful face expressing innocence.

For a moment, the Beverley Pass became as noisy as a marketplace! As the person involved, Ren, wearing a white wizard's robe, was quickly escorted by Gray and his men to the other side of the Beverley Pass.

As the degree of liquefaction increased by one point, the power of his sorcery increased by one point. His current sorcery power was almost three times stronger than when he had just advanced to the Second Stage Liquidation Wizard.

C

After all, they had all witnessed Gray's passionate display. Among those present, Gray was the one who knew the young powerhouse's background the best.

"Elder? Haha, that's right. Are you planning to return to Minster first? Remember to pass on my greetings to Little Ferrara. The last time I saw him, he was still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy." Walkermas burst into hearty laughter, his face filled with reminiscence.

U

"Psychic Shatter!"

"Rest assured, Lord Ren. I have already reported the situation to the higher-ups," said Gray, stroking his bushy beard and patting his robust chest confidently.

The speaker was an elderly man holding a twisted gray wooden staff and wearing a gray wizard's robe. His deeply wrinkled forehead indicated his advanced age.

"Ren?" Anna asked anxiously.

"Also, Ren, if you're going to the Imperial Capital, remember to pay a visit to the Stevi Family when you have time. This is Pascal's Scale."

"Lord Ren, may the winds be favorable to you!"

Half a day later.

And Ren hadn't even reached the second level of Advanced Steel Heart Meditation.

"

No wonder he had received Alfred's commendation and been promoted to a Golden Knight.

Merik, known as the 'Gutripper', was a legendary powerhouse with incredible speed. Even if Ren had personally fought him, it would have taken some effort to defeat Merik.

The 'Soul Shatter Impact', a core skill of the Warhammer Wizard, was a guaranteed move that could injure even Epic-level warriors.

Even the most talented wizard would typically require a decade or two to reach the Second Stage Liquidation Wizard stage. But Ren had advanced to the second stage just a few days ago, and now he was already a third of the way through the liquefaction process?

"Guardian, I, Ren, a Swordbearer from Minster, pay my respects to you," Ren said, bowing slightly to Walkermas.

This rate of improvement was simply outrageous! For most wizards, the psychic condensation process of a first-stage wizard would take a decade or more. As for psychic liquefaction, it was a long and arduous process that would take centuries.

Upon witnessing this, Walkermas immediately understood what had happened and flew into a rage. "Cress, you're playing with fire!"

Walkermas himself was a former Swordbearer, though he was from a noble family and had joined the Swordbearer Headquarters in the Imperial Capital of Tamriel.

"Even in the distant Moselle Province, I've never heard of this powerhouse," said another leader of the caravan, shaking his head.

He hadn't expected this young man to single-handedly eliminate the Sea God Cult's stronghold in Howling Bay.

The young man before him was a Swordbearer of the Draconian Empire, just like the old man.

"Lord Walkermas, the Duke has been very kind to me. He is a respected Elder," Ren smiled and explained.

However, this item was clearly very rare, as the system identified it as a 'Divine Energy Crystal'. It was likely that only a deity could create such an item.

In an instant, an invisible wave of energy surged towards Ren.

"Hmm?"

Just as Ren was about to land swiftly, a loud roar of a giant dragon suddenly echoed from not too far ahead of him.

The black crystal instantly vanished from Ren's hand, and a wisp of black smoke rose from his palm, dissipating in the wind.

"Hey, do you all know who this person is?" a traveler curiously asked the group.

T

[Ding! Detected Divine Energy Crystal that can enhance psychic liquefaction. Do you wish to accelerate absorption? (Note: System absorption can eliminate impurities and complete absorption in one go.)]



Ren's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the dazzling figure, feeling surprised.

He hadn't expected this young man named Ren to bring him such joy. Ren's willpower seemed incredibly resilient! "Ren, you don't look like you've reached twenty yet. You're truly a rare genius.

"Colossus? That mutated Primordial Dragon?"

"That's an ancient monster nearly at the Epic level!" A well-informed traveler couldn't help but exclaim.

"Divine Energy Crystal?" Ren's eyebrows shot up.

This thing called 'Divine Energy Crystal' was incredibly powerful!

Cress knew that achieving this level was already the current limit.

The other party actually referred to the elderly Duke Minster as Little Ferrara. The last time they met was at least forty to fifty years ago. Was this the time perception of a high-ranking wizard? How old must this Guardian be? Soon, Ren and Anna bid farewell to the Imperial Guardian Walkermas and set off for Minster once again.

"From your appearance, you don't look like Little Ferrara's offspring." Walkermas showed a hint of confusion, muttering to himself.

This strange situation was due to the fact that the other party's speed had greatly exceeded the speed of sound, which was why they saw the person before hearing their voice.

"Sir Gray, after I leave, you need to be more vigilant. I fear the Wind Falcon clan might vent their anger on you." Ren thought for a moment and warned.

Just the speed of 'Gutfeather' Merik, when he used 'Shadow Step' to the fullest, was on par with this colorful light, which was more than twice as fast as Merik.

Since that was the case, her mission was considered a success.

After all, apart from this explanation being more reasonable, Ren really couldn't figure out why a Wind Falcon, even a mutated one, would possess such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Anna's heart eased. The aura of the Wind Falcon Queen was too strong, even the Blood Feather Wyvern was trembling at this moment.

Ren felt an abnormally warm current suddenly seep into his palm and rush straight to his brain.

Ren glanced at the system panel: Psychic: 90 (Liquefaction 27%)



She naturally knew the background of this 'old rival' and was familiar with his micro-expressions. How could she not know that he had developed a fondness for talent?

As even among the top guardians of the empire, there were many guardians who had started as Swordbearers. Due to their shared experiences, they generally had a good relationship and a tradition of unity.

"Walkermas, I'll give you this face today."

Additionally, she sensed no Divine Energy Crystal that the Sea Goddess Hela had given her on this young man.

Cress had a curvaceous figure, a fair complexion, and a pair of deep, luminous eyes. Her gorgeous feathered attire added to her unique aura.

At this moment, Anna quickly stepped forward and handed Ren a new set of white wizard robes.

Suddenly, Ren grunted, his head feeling as if it was being pierced by needles, and he swayed unsteadily.

At first, Ren thought it was some kind of crystal core within the other party, but upon closer inspection, he found that the black crystal seemed to contain an extremely condensed and high-level energy.

He really didn't know about this situation, but seeing Gray's expression, he mistakenly thought he had known it all along.

Since the system could directly absorb and filter out impurities and any harmful elements, Ren was not worried about any negative effects.

"That's right, in the entire Caswiss Province, there is no strong individual matching the young master's characteristics." An old man from the caravan nodded in agreement.

Due to the real damage caused by the Soul Shatter Impact, it could not be blocked by physical or elemental energy. Therefore, even an Epic-level warrior would likely suffer significant injuries after receiving a Soul Shatter Impact from him.

"Cress, you have crossed the line." A slightly hoarse voice sounded from the back of the Silver Dragon.

Ren and Anna mounted the Blood Feather Wyvern again.

"The human before me killed my commander Merik. He must pay the price!" The first to reach the Silver Dragon was a brilliant figure.

The moment Ren left, he felt a colorful light rushing towards him from the depths of the Beverly Mountains, judging by the trajectory.

H

The genius was basically doomed.

"So it was the Imperial Swordmaster's adult, no wonder!"

He had never heard of such a young top-tier powerhouse, even coming from the distant Moselle Province.

"Hiss~ 27% in one go?" Ren couldn't help but gasp, his eyes widening in surprise!

"

"It seems I can only use that move." Ren's eyes flashed.

Although he had never seen such a thing, he had a certain judgment based on the Divine Power and the familiar aura he sensed.

"Lord Grey, do you know the identity of this adult?" An elder from the caravan asked Grey, the bearded man beside him, respectfully.

Walker Mas glanced at the information on the official letter, and his gaze towards Ren became even more appreciative.

But the next second, Cyrist's deep blue-green eyes stared at Ren.

"

Moreover, the opponent's speed was so fast that it made Ren's heart tremble.

Although Cyrist wanted to ask the young man in front of her about the Divine Crystal, she knew she couldn't ask this question in front of the old man.

But this didn't diminish her initial good impression of Ren.

Ren looked at the 27% liquefaction progress, feeling a bit surreal.

B

Because if she took action, Walker Mas would surely intervene.

In just a few seconds, a silver and colorful light, two spheres of light, touched in the air not far from Ren's right side.

In a very short time, Ren felt the silver liquid in his mind increasing at a visible speed.

"This should be something from the Sea Goddess Hela."

Mental trauma, compared to physical injuries, was even harder to heal.

Soon, from the original state where even crystals couldn't contain it, to now resembling a pool of water, with double-layered crystals floating up and down in the pool.

Moreover, the black crystals faintly emitted a grand and mighty aura, which made Ren even more was that this aura gave him a hint of familiarity.

Ren shook his head, although his head still ached, but he seemed to be able to endure such pain.

Otherwise, when he was at the Swordsman Branch, he had never heard of such a thing.

"Such speed and aura, there's only one possibility." Ren knew, and there was only one option.

However, the sudden feeling of being struck by a heavy hammer was naturally very uncomfortable.

A caravan guard captain frowned, as if deep in thought, then suddenly, as if remembering something, he exclaimed excitedly: "Wait, I think I've heard of this adult. Just now, when you transformed into a dragon, it reminded me of a young Ren adult in the Frostbitten Tundra, who transformed into a dragon and killed the Griffin Knight, Colahus."

Walker Mas smiled as he spoke, taking out a silver-white dragon scale and offering it to Ren.

At the same time, he was also amazed by Walker Mas's age.

If it was the work of the Sea Goddess Hela, it could naturally be explained.

"Just now, you were hit by Cyrist's special talent ability, a mental shock, huh? I didn't expect you to recover so quickly, it seems your willpower is extraordinary." Walker Mas looked at Ren with surprise.

At this moment, the crowd beside them began to discuss: "Oh my! 'The Heartbreaker' Merrick is dead?!" Many exclaimed in surprise.

T

Additionally, regarding the system prompt's question of whether to absorb or not, Ren thought about it and chose 'Yes!'

At the same time, Ren seemed to hear a fleeting female scream, unsure if it was the impurities or some kind of mark of the Sea Goddess Hela.

"Ren, the Hammer Mountains!" Anna pointed at the knife-like gray-black mountain range ahead with her fair fingers, exclaiming in surprise.

"Yes, through the Hammer Fortress, we're getting closer to Minster." Ren nodded in agreement, saying.

Last time he passed through the Hammer Fortress, there was a bit of a story, because lava creatures rioted, and on the way, he had killed quite a few lava snakes and lava dogs.

I wonder if this time, it will be smooth sailing.
