Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 5 Bone Crushing Technique? Southeast Fortress, Wang Yuanyuan!

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In just two years, Chu Zichen's combined internal and external spiritual power had exceeded 500, officially making him a fourth-order high priest.

The defining characteristic of a fourth-tier professional is the outward projection of spiritual energy.

Chu Zichen raised his index finger, and instantly a green light about two inches long condensed at his fingertip.

Breaking through to the fourth level at the age of twelve, such talent in cultivation would be considered genius among geniuses in any holy temple.

As Chu Zichen broke through to the fourth rank, the life magic skill tree in his mind also unlocked new skills.

Fourth-tier Life Resonance Technique: Creates a life magnetic field with a radius of 10 meters by releasing spiritual energy, which can simultaneously heal multiple teammates within the range and restore their spiritual energy for 1 minute;

Fourth-tier Life Protection Spell: Creates a life magnetic field with a radius of 10 meters by releasing spiritual energy, which can simultaneously provide life shield protection to multiple teammates within the range, and can withstand any attack below the fifth tier, lasting for 1 minute;

Fourth-tier Life Blessing: Can bless a single teammate, greatly stimulating their potential and temporarily increasing their combat power by 100% across all attributes such as attack, defense, speed, stamina, and spirit for 1 minute.

The biggest difference between fourth-tier life magic and previous lower-tier life magic is that it has an additional area-of-effect skill, which can affect multiple teammates at the same time.

In addition, there are naturally underworld skills, whose effects have expanded from the skin, muscles, and blood to the bones.

The fourth-order bone-crushing technique can reverse the metabolism of osteoblasts, causing the target's bones to become brittle and disintegrate.

With a single Bone-Shattering Technique, the enemy was instantly reduced to dust, demonstrating terrifying destructive power.

The main sanctuary of the pastors, the chapel.

Early that morning, Chu Zichen arrived in front of his master, Ruoshui.

"Zichen, congratulations on breaking through to the fourth level. This is a gift from your master."

Ruoshui smiled slightly and waved her hand to take out pieces of priest equipment from her spatial ring.

Equipment levels are divided into the following categories from lowest to highest: Common Equipment, Alloy Equipment, Magic Equipment, Spirit Magic Equipment, Brilliant Equipment, Legendary Equipment, Epic Equipment, Immortal Equipment, and even Mythical Equipment.

The priest equipment that Ruoshui gave to Chu Zichen was all spirit and demon equipment, which was just right for his level.

Each piece of Spirit Demon equipment is worth at least a thousand gold coins, and it also comes with a skill.

First is a robe called the Robe of Radiance, which comes with the skill [Radiant Protection]. When attacked, it can automatically generate a radiant shield for defense, and can block attacks below the fifth rank.

Secondly, there is a scepter called the Staff of Prayer, which comes with the skill [Devoted Prayer], which can amplify the effect of priest skills by 10%.

Finally, there is a necklace called the Concentration Necklace, which comes with the skill [Mental Focus], enough to ensure that one can maintain mental focus during spellcasting and will not be easily disturbed or interrupted.

"Thank you, master!"

Chu Zichen was overjoyed. After accepting the three pieces of spirit and demon equipment, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Ruoshui.

"Next, familiarize yourself with your equipment as soon as possible... Today we will be heading to the Southeast Fortress, where the main hall of the Warrior's Temple is located, to provide support."

Ruoshui spoke up.

Southeast Fortress!

Chu Zichen nodded. Over the past two years, he had followed his master Ruoshui to provide support at various border passes, including Exorcism Pass, Ten Thousand Beasts Pass, and Dragon Control Pass, and he had become accustomed to it.

Anyway, a pastor is like a brick; you can move him wherever he's needed.

……

That day, Ruoshui led Chu Zichen and a group of priests to the Southeast Fortress located in the southeast of the Temple Alliance to provide support.

The Southeast Fortress is closest to the Central Province of the Demon Clan, so it often suffers the strongest attacks from the Demon Clan, and the battles there are always the most brutal among the six major passes.

After arriving at the Southeast Fortress, Chu Zichen once again followed the priest team to the battlefield on the city wall to treat the wounded from the rear.

"Life Resonance Technique! Life Protection Technique!"

Chu Zichen brandished the Prayer Staff in his hand, unleashing two life magic spells he had comprehended after reaching the fourth rank. The released spiritual power condensed into a life magnetic field covering a radius of 10 meters.

Instantly, the warriors within range received healing from their injuries and restored their spiritual energy. They even gained protective life shields that blocked the demonic attacks. This priest skill is incredibly powerful!

It's like they were given a second life!

"drink!"

At this moment, a dashing figure on the city wall caught Chu Zichen's attention.

It was a warrior girl with a high black ponytail, tall and slender, at least 1.7 meters tall, wielding a shield that was even larger than herself.

The Giant Spirit God's Shield? Could this warrior girl be Wang Yuanyuan?
At this moment, Wang Yuanyuan, whose cultivation had reached the fourth-level Grand War Master, was fighting fiercely against the demons attacking the city. He was using the Giant Spirit God Shield in his hand as a weapon, killing one demon after another who had climbed the city walls, and his body was covered in the blood of countless demons.

Strong!

Chu Zichen couldn't help but admire her fierceness on the battlefield; she was already showing the demeanor of a female war goddess.

Suddenly, a 2-meter-tall, emerald-green demonic figure appeared on the city wall, its forelimbs resembling two large swords.

Fifth-tier demon, the Emerald Twin-Blade Demon!
Facing the Emerald Twin Blade Demon, Wang Yuanyuan fearlessly brandished the Giant Spirit God's Shield and launched an attack.

boom!
However, the power of the Emerald Twin Blade Demon exceeded her expectations. Its forelimbs slashed horizontally with both blades, and the immense force sent Wang Yuanyuan flying, spitting out blood, and suffering a serious injury.

"Life Healing Spell!"

Just then, Chu Zichen's life magic landed on Wang Yuanyuan, instantly restoring her injuries to their original state.

"Blessing of Life!"

That wasn't all. Another green light of life descended, and Wang Yuanyuan felt that all her combat abilities, including attack, defense, speed, and stamina, had increased significantly, at least doubling!
Wang Yuanyuan's face was filled with disbelief.

Is this a priest's blessing spell?

A priest's blessing spell can usually only increase combat power by a maximum of 10%, how could it possibly increase it by more than double like this?!

However, she also knew that now was not the time to explore this issue, so she burst out with astonishing speed and charged at the Emerald Twin Blade Demon once again.

boom! !

When Wang Yuanyuan clashed with the Green Twin Blade Demon again, their strengths were surprisingly evenly matched.

I've become this strong? I can fight opponents of higher levels?
Even Wang Yuanyuan herself found it hard to believe.

"I'll help you, Bone Crushing Technique!"

Chu Zichen seized the opportunity and a gray underworld spell accurately struck the Emerald Twin Blade Demon.

"Roar!!"

The Emerald Twin Blade Demon suddenly let out a strange cry, feeling as if the bones inside his body were being crushed by some force, as if they were unable to bear the weight. He experienced excruciating pain, and his entire body was covered in large areas of hematoma, making him look horribly gruesome.

"Spinning Shield Sky-Splitting Strike!"

Although Wang Yuanyuan didn't know what was wrong with the Emerald Twin Blade Demon, she didn't stop moving at all. Holding the Giant Spirit God Shield, her body spun at high speed like a top, transforming into a silver storm that swept out.

boom--

This time, the Emerald Twin Blade Demon was no match for Wang Yuanyuan's attack. He was smashed into a pulp by the Giant Spirit God's Shield, completely shattered and beyond dead.

"I...I killed a fifth-tier Emerald Twin-Blade Demon?"

Wang Yuanyuan stared at the corpse of the Green Twin Blade Demon, muttering to herself in astonishment.

Even if I get a 100% increase in combat power, it won't be that easy to kill a fifth-tier Emerald Twin Blade Demon, right?

Moreover, the feeling when she killed the Emerald Twin Blade Demon with her final blow was a little off; she could feel that the latter's bones had become exceptionally fragile, and would shatter at the slightest touch.

What exactly happened? Could it be because of the skill that priest used on the Emerald Twin Blade Demon?
