I Became the Progenitor Vampire Chapter 160 – Chapter 160: Chapter 161: Do You Have to Be This Obedient? Isn't This Too Well

Chapter 160: Chapter 161: Do You Have to Be This Obedient? Isn't This Too Well-behaved?

“**Ding~** The Dawn Sect has acquired a Divine Priest, gaining Legend Level–2 points, Experience–1000.”

After the last system prompt flashed by, Lide immediately opened Nilo's attribute panel.

After carefully reviewing it, he took a deep breath.

Strong.

Too strong.

Lide could only offer pure admiration after looking at Nilo's attribute panel.

First was the title–Divine Favor, which could directly increase spell power by 50%. Simply explosive.

And the talent specialties of a Divine Priest: casting speed, magic power consumption reduction, spell power, and magic power recovery–the four attributes crucial for spellcasters–all receiving an exaggerated boost of 35%.

In comparison, even the mighty Shadow Priest seemed like a beggar.

So damn strong.

Lide felt a deep sense of envy; this talent was so powerful it was without peer.

Moreover, this was just the inherent talent that came with the profession; Nilo becoming a Divine Priest must have an extraordinary natural talent of her own, definitely possessing more unseen specializations.

Overall, Lide even had a premonition that Nilo's future achievements might not fall short of Isa, the young girl with the Golden Bloodline.

One born with a powerful bloodline, the other recognized by the system with a rare*limited label for their profession.

It was hard to say who was stronger.

“Ancestor Crown.”

After Nilo opened her eyes, she revealed a thick smile to Lide.

The girl's initial caution had completely vanished, replaced by easy grace.

Because in her mind, she could always feel the spirit imprint left by Lide, and it could be said that from now on, she belonged to Lide for life.

Whether in life or death.

Even if death came, her soul would eternally protect him; even the Death God couldn't take the soul of a Divine Priest.

Lide also revealed a genuine smile.

This was a huge gain.

But what intrigued him was the faint golden glow in Nilo's black pupils; it was very mystical.

However, this unusual color didn't instill fear like Isa's red pupils did.

Instead, it was filled with sanctity and dignity, and anyone who saw those eyes wouldn't dare have a blasphemous thought.

Even Emi, standing by the side, felt as if he was gazing upon a divine being when he saw those pale gold eyes, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

“Nilo, from today onward, I bestow upon you the position of Holy Maiden of the Dawn Sect, your status equal to that of Archbishop Emi,”

Lide was very happy–a Divine Priest, another ace up his sleeve.

Furthermore, since Nilo became a Divine Priest, he could feel a slight fusion of their spiritual powers.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Nilo was now the person closest to him.

For this was the most essential and core convergence.

At times, a divine being could even lend their power to a Divine Priest through the spirit imprint.

The relationship between a Divine Priest and a divine being was just that unreasonable.

“Ancestor Crown, Divine Priests are known as Sons of God in many sects, the most precious treasure of a divine being. Even many powerful divine beings don't possess a Son of God…”

Oh…

Hearing Emi's down-to-earth explanation, Lide suddenly understood–Son of God, how easily understandable.

He turned his head, looked at Nilo blessed with holy aura, and said with a light laugh,

“Nilo, how are you feeling now, can you use spells?”

After hearing Lide's words, Nilo showed a smile, then closed her eyes slightly. A moment later, she shook her head.

“Ancestor Crown, Nilo needs your permission to cast spells, you need to bestow them upon me…”

Hmm?

Hearing this, Lide had a perplexed look on his face–casting spells needed my permission?

He had thought priests simply learned unique spells from a divine being, but it seemed it wasn't that simple.

In fact, his understanding of priests was also limited to the information given by Emi, and this blasphemer had long since stopped believing in the Knight God.

Suddenly, Lide felt something, as if an emotion was trying to communicate something to him.

He closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power followed the sensation to its source.

Nilo's Spiritual Sea.

Upon entering, it seemed as if some sort of program was activated, and Lide instantly understood how to bestow spells.

He opened his own attribute panel.

First Circle Magic: Small Fireball Technique (Improved–Extreme Spellcasting), Thunderbolt Skill, Puppetry Technique, Mage's Hand (Improved), Magic Shield, Waterfall Skill

Second Circle Magic: Reconnaissance Skill, Big Fireball Skill, Thunderstorm Skill, Big Puppet Skill, Magic Power Surge, Haste, Enhancement Skill, Charming Skill, Shadow Jump

Third Circle Magic: …

With a thought, he replicated the improved Small Fireball Technique's magic model through the spirit imprint and transferred a copy into Nilo's Spiritual Sea.

When Nilo felt the magic model transmitted by Lide, she immediately ceased resisting, allowing him to act within her Spiritual Sea.

The Small Fireball Technique's magic model solidified immediately as it entered Niero's spiritual sea under Lide's control.

Then, Niero learned the Small Fireball Technique.

This process took less than thirty seconds.

Lide also noticed this scene and a trace of astonishment arose in his heart, is that all it takes?

With a thought, he continued to pass the second magic model to Niero in just the same way.

Then, the Divine Priest learned it too.

The third one, the fourth one, the tenth one…

Until he had copied all of his First Circle and Second Circle spells' magic models.

And Niero learned them all.

When Lide exited Niero's spiritual sea, his face still bore an indescribable oddness.

Is this not too formidable?

Others struggle painfully to learn a single spell, yet Niero easily accepts the magic models bestowed upon her and learns them??

Fifteen spells in less than five minutes, is this the work of a human??

If Nieri were not just level 6, he'd even consider bestowing his three Third Circle spells upon her.

“Emi, were you also bestowed spells this way in the Knight Temple?”

After sharing with Emi the experience of bestowing fifteen spells on Niero, Lide asked.

“Could you also obtain many spells at once??”

After hearing Lide's words, Emi's expression became a bit peculiar.

To bestow fifteen spells all at once to one's own priest… isn't this a bit excessive?

This girl, not even twenty years old, received what others strive for over a decade.

Envy filled his eyes–if only he had met the Ancestor Crown when he was young.

“Ancestor Crown, normal priests must constantly pray to the Divine to learn spells. The more pious they are, the easier it is to receive the Divine's response.

After the Divine responds, they bestow a magic model, but this magic model cannot be used right away. It requires the priest to nourish it with magic power continually.

Moreover, because Divine Power is so mighty, a long interval is needed before receiving a second spell. It's impossible to be granted too many blessings from the Divine at once, unless one is above level 15 in their profession.”

Lide nodded.

“So what's going on with Niero and me??”

“Miss Niero must be a Divine Priest, which is why her soul compatibility with you has reached its highest. That's why she could safely accept the magic models you bestow.

And since your power hasn't reached the level of the Divine, it's easier for Miss Niero to accept your power.”

Hearing Emi's words, Lide finally relaxed and nodded in relief.

Thank goodness not every Priest can bestow seven or eight spells at once like he did, otherwise the temple Priests would truly be hidden major bosses.

“What's the difference between spells that are bestowed and those that are self-learned?”

This question might stump others, but Emi was perfectly suited to answer it.

This blasphemer used to be a Priest in the Knight Temple before converting and becoming a Shadow Priest. Shadow Priests are not Divine Position holders, their spells all require self-learning.

“Ancestor Crown, bestowed spells do not require understanding of the spell's operational structure, nor self-construction of magic models. One only needs to input Magic Power into the magic model to cast them.

Self-learning spells, on the other hand, require building the magic model node by node and solidifying it within the spiritual sea.

Speaking of drawbacks and advantages, both have them.

The Mage profession's drawback is that self-learning spells seek extremely high Talent. A slightly lesser Talent makes it difficult to succeed,

But the upside is that the future is limitless. With enough Talent, one might even become a Divine!

In contrast, Priests only need to worship the Divine to gain strong casting abilities. Even with lesser Talent, they can become powerful.

However, the drawback is clear: everything a Priest has is bestowed by the Divine. If one day they no longer believe in the Divine, these magic models can be stripped away at any moment. Even the most formidable Believers can't resist the Divine they worship.”

Lide nodded, understanding.

Mages rely on Talent and self-reliance. If the talent is lacking, they're out of luck, but since they depend on themselves, they needn't worry about anyone else.

Priests are different; it's all built upon the Divine behind them. If the Divine falls or faith wavers, then all will turn to ashes.

But the advantage is clear: they have mighty backing. A Mage might struggle for ten years and still might not learn fifteen spells, but a Priest could possess them all in a day.

Lide turned his head to look at Niero, who had been standing quietly beside him without interrupting their conversation.

The girl wore a pure white Priest's robe. Her tall figure, under the auspices of her sanctified temperament, became even more stunning. The delicate features of her face were beyond words in perfection, and together with her splendid temperament, her originally ninety-nine-point appearance now soared to ninety-nine points.

But those light golden pupils still commanded awe, adding a measure of dignity to the breathtakingly beautiful girl.

“Niero, the future development of the Dawn Sect relies on you and Emi. Do your best to convert the residents to our Dawn Sect. I need you.”

Lide stepped forward, subconsciously reaching out to ruffle the girl's hair, but pulling back silently at the sight of those dignified eyes and instead touched his nose.

Niero noticed Lide's gesture, her lips pursing slightly, her face suddenly flushed. She lowered her head slightly, bringing it closer to Lide.

In a quiet voice, she said,

“Crown…”

Lide felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the black hair glowing with holy light, he wasn't sure whether to cry or laugh.

Does she have to be this obedient? Isn't she a bit too well-behaved?
