Perhaps thanks to Seong-jun’s cheat-level buffs, the early stages were smoothly repelled without a single casualty.
Casualties among the regular soldiers began to appear from the 10th stage onward, but with the addition of high-ranking knights, mages, and even more soldiers, the defense line grew even more solid.
On top of that, they built walls and heavily reinforced the ranks with high-tier combatants, so from the 15th stage all the way to the final 20th stage, they faced no major crises.
And then came the much-anticipated 20th stage.
‘Finally, the last stage. I need to pour out everything I’ve saved up for this.’
Seong-jun had reserved his area skills as much as possible for the final stage.
And now, he cast all those saved persistent area skills.
‘Sanctuary! Divine Totem! Holy Field!’
Seong-jun cast the skills at the center where the crystal ball was located.
Sanctuary and Divine Totem covered a radius of 500 meters—a total of 1 kilometer—so they wrapped the entire wall and even covered a significant portion of the enemy’s approach path.
Holy Field, on the other hand, covered a radius of 300 meters—a total of 600 meters—so it encompassed the entire wall and part of the path, allowing it to affect monsters that had closed in on the wall.
“Whoa! What is this? My body’s overflowing with power!”
“Hah! That insane buff alone is amazing, but what’s this now? I’m not even surprised anymore.”
“Those monsters that gave us such a hard time now look like a joke. Hah! If we’d had just one priest like that on the front lines, our kingdom wouldn’t have been pushed back so far.”
On top of the various overpowered buffs came the area skills.
The knights, mages, and even the regular soldiers all received a massive stat boost, making fighting the monsters much easier.
And that wasn’t all.
Thanks to the Guardian of the Saint ability, which could appoint up to 12 guardians, they were able to station two powerful S-rank knights at each approach path.
“Now! This is the last one! If we clear this stage, all of us can return to our original world! So everyone, give it your all!”
At Seong-jun’s shout, the soldiers filling the wall let out an enormous roar.
“Waaaaaah!”
“Oooooooh!”
“The priest is behind us! Even if you lose an arm or a leg, as long as you don’t die, he will heal everything, so fight with the resolve to give it your all!”
These were the people who had witnessed firsthand—right before their eyes—the miracle of reviving critically injured patients who should have been dead and instantly regenerating severed limbs.
That was why that shout—that as long as they didn’t die, he would revive them no matter what state they were in—rang out even louder.
And then, finally.
“Kuuooooooh!”
The last wave began.
A massive horde of monsters poured out like a flood and charged straight toward the wall.
Monsters far stronger than those in the early waves pushed in, countless in number, but the soldiers didn’t flinch at all.
Part of it was because they had become so powerful thanks to all kinds of buffs that they surpassed ordinary soldiers, but also because the War Cry had eliminated their fear and maximized their fighting spirit.
But above all, what held them up was Seong-jun’s very existence.
[Damage to dark-type enemies +20%. When possessing the [Successor of Ermia Jeylin] title, additional +10%.]
[Dark attribute resistance +20%. When possessing the [Successor of Ermia Jeylin] title, additional +10%.]
[Additional Divine Power +2,000,000 for those bearing the Successor of Ermia Jeylin title.]
[Special skill [Angel’s Wings] usable.]
[Special skill [Blink] usable.]
[2-piece set option: Additional Divine Power +5,000,000.]
[3-piece set option: When hunting dark-type monsters, class and skill experience +10%.]
Hermia Jaylin’s Bracelet increased the efficiency of all divine magic, but it also granted a significant advantage when dealing with dark-type enemies.
Everyone here had been converted to the light attribute via Holy Attribute Grant, and various divine buffs were applied to them.
In particular, Holy Weapon Enchant and Holy Armor Enchant were both active, granting extreme damage and defense against dark-type monsters.
In other words, in this situation, the Dark Bone Drake couldn’t exert its full power.
“Kuuooooooh!”
“Kwaaaaaaang!”
However, the problem was that unlike the first trial, which only spawned a single boss, this time two bosses appeared—one on each side.
Watching the Dark Bone Drakes flap their bone wings and fly toward the wall, Seong-jun quietly glanced behind him.
‘The main defense line has more forces deployed, so they’ll manage somehow. I’ll take this one down as fast as possible and head over there.’
The massive Dark Bone Drake and the Bone Drakes following behind it.
They were flying in so fast that they entered his range in an instant.
‘God’s Wrath!’
Seong-jun immediately cast God’s Wrath at the boss.
Kwawoooooooh!
A pillar of intense light slammed into the Dark Bone Drake’s entire body.
Kukwakwakwakwak
Then light waves spread out in all directions.
After dealing the first blow with God’s Wrath, Seong-jun immediately cast Radiant Wind.
‘Radiant Wind!’
Swaaaaaaaah!
As Radiant Wind—which synergized tremendously with God’s Wrath—was cast, the monsters all around began to fall.
“Keeeooooh.”
“Kuuuuuuh.”
Perhaps because Sanctuary, Holy Field, and Divine Totem were all active, the B-rank monsters couldn’t withstand the God’s Wrath + Radiant Wind combo and were all swept away.
Among the monsters that filled the approach path, all those below B-rank were eliminated by the combo attack, leaving only the boss and A-rank monsters.
Even the A-rank monsters were heavily damaged.
“Let’s go.”
With those words, Seong-jun leaped off the wall.
Then—
“Chain of Light!”
After transforming his mace into shield form, he used Chain of Light to pull the Dark Bone Drake toward him.
Chwarururururu!
“Kweeeeeeh!”
The boss was stunned instantly.
To keep it immobilized for 10 minutes, he had to maintain the shield form, but fortunately, Seong-jun carried a secondary mace.
No, strictly speaking, since it was an S-rank mace, its base stats were actually superior to his main weapon.
“I’ll hold this one down, so take out the regular monsters first!”
At Seong-jun’s shout, the two appointed guardians and the other knights and mages began unleashing their attacks on the A-rank regular monsters.
Soon after, the Dark Bone Drake woke from its stun and began a fierce assault on Seong-jun.
Since it couldn’t move anywhere else, the boss’s attacks focused solely on Seong-jun before it.
“Kwaaaaaaang!”
A barrage of enormous attacks began with a massive roar.
Bang! Bang! Kukung! Kung! Kwakukung!
But Seong-jun dodged or deflected most of those attacks, only blocking with his shield when he judged it absolutely unavoidable.
At the same time, he kept casting attack skills in between, dealing steady damage.
‘I have to endure as much as possible while whittling down its HP steadily! After all, the real offensive will come once they’ve wiped out all the regular monsters.’
Each of Seong-jun’s attacks was powerful, but taking down an A-rank boss alone was nearly impossible.
Eventually, the knights and mages dealing with the regular monsters would have to join in, so until then, Seong-jun resolved to hold out as long as he could.
And so, Seong-jun entered a holding pattern.
Some time passed like that.
“Sorry to keep you waiting! We’re joining now!”
Finally, the knights and mages who had swept away the A-rank regular monsters began to join in earnest.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
“Don’t worry about your aura or mana—use every technique you can! We need to finish this as fast as possible!”
Seong-jun used Energy Recharge to rapidly replenish the knights’ and mages’ aura and mana.
At the same time, he kept attacking while tanking.
He was essentially single-handedly fulfilling the roles of tank, buffer, healer, and dealer.
One would think that would be overwhelming, but perhaps thanks to Divine Combat Technique, he managed to do it all and hold out well.
And finally—
“Kuuooooooh.”
The Dark Bone Drake collapsed.
It unleashed powerful finishing moves, but they were blocked by Seong-jun’s Holy Barrier, and afterward, it raged and attacked wildly, but it failed to deal any significant damage to Seong-jun.
“Hurry to the main defense line! The battle must still be raging—move it!”
After taking down the boss, Seong-jun led the forces from this direction toward the main defense line, where the other boss was.
Around 4 hours after the start of the second trial, the second boss finally fell, clearing the final stage.
[You have completed the final 20th stage. All expended Divine Power is recovered.]
[As a reward for clearing the 20th stage, you have acquired the Skill Book [Holy Shield].]
[You have also completed 20 stages of the Privilege Dungeon consecutively. Your held title [One Who Overcame Trials] has been upgraded to [One Who Turns Trials into Opportunities].]
[You have achieved numerous feats. As an additional reward, you have acquired the Artifact [Hermia Jaylin’s Holy Bracelet].]
[Additional selection reward is given. Choose between [15 sets of 3 types of Debuff Potions] and [Holy Water of Experience Growth].]
As he cleared the final 20th stage, notifications appeared one after another.
‘Hah! Hermia Jaylin’s Holy Bracelet? That means I’m collecting three pieces of the set? This is huge! And on top of that, I can choose the Holy Water of Experience Growth? No question about it.’
Seong-jun chose the Holy Water of Experience Growth as if there was no need to hesitate.
The 15 sets of 3 types of Debuff Potions were tempting, but they were nothing compared to the Holy Water of Experience.
He already had the Experience Growth Holy Water received from the goddess Hemeias, and if he took both that and the one obtained here, he could probably level up soon.
After storing the Holy Water of Experience Growth in his subspace, Seong-jun put Hermia Jaylin’s Holy Bracelet on his wrist.
[SS-rank] Hermia Jaylin’s Holy Bracelet [Set] [3/5]
An exclusive accessory of Hermia Jaylin, made by processing Orichalcum—called the god’s metal—and the highest-grade Mana Stones.
– All divine magic efficiency +20%. When possessing the [Successor of Ermia Jeylin] title, additional +10%.
– Damage to dark-type enemies +20%. When possessing the [Successor of Ermia Jeylin] title, additional +10%.
– Dark attribute resistance +20%. When possessing the [Successor of Ermia Jeylin] title, additional +10%.
– Additional Divine Power +2,000,000 for those bearing the Successor of Ermia Jeylin title.
– Special skill [Angel’s Wings] usable.
– Special skill [Blink] usable.
[2-piece set option: Additional Divine Power +5,000,000.]
[3-piece set option: When hunting dark-type monsters, class and skill experience +10%.]
Hermia Jaylin’s bracelet increased the efficiency of all divine magic, but it also granted a significant advantage when dealing with dark-type targets.
He could now use Angel’s Wings and Blink as special skills, and the 3-piece set option gave additional class and skill experience when hunting dark-type monsters.
‘Oh! With this, I can shorten the time to the next level even more.’
After roughly checking, Seong-jun clenched his fist.
‘The Hall of Trials. It’s a Privilege Dungeon that gives generously. Haha, and since it’s the second one, the rewards are even better. My Divine Power increased by a full 20 million, and I picked up 6 Skill Level Up Cards. Plus the Holy Water of Experience Growth. At this level, facing the Grand Overlord shouldn’t be a problem, right?’
Divine Power, new skills, new artifacts, Skill Level Up Cards, and Holy Water of Experience Growth.
In this Privilege Dungeon, he obtained even more rewards than the first time.
In particular, securing 6 Skill Level Up Cards was huge.
With this, he could raise the Guardian of the Saint ability to level 6 and still have 2 cards left to upgrade a useful skill.
Just then—
“Thanks to you, Priest-nim, we were able to complete the trial safely. If we ever return to our original world, would we be able to meet you again?”
The highest-ranking noble among the Yutria Kingdom army looked at Seong-jun and asked.
Seong-jun shook his head and replied.
“Although I serve the Goddess of Light Hemeyas, I am not from that world but from another. Unfortunately, even if you return to your original world, it will be difficult to see me. Instead, I will pray for your success.”
“Hah! Is that so? A person from another world! I never even considered that.”
He had thought Seong-jun was a priest of the Holy Kingdom, but to hear that he came from a completely different world made him look very surprised.
Since he said he came from another dimension, how could he not be astonished?
“Well, it looks like it’s about time. I wish you all the best.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of the knights, mages, and soldiers began to fade.
Wooooooong!
“Hmm, may God’s blessing be with you too…”
With those words, as with the previous time, they began to be reverse-summoned one by one, just as they had been summoned.
Hwack!
Hwaaaack!
Hwaack!
“Haa, this was also a very rewarding trial.”
And then—
Wooooooong!
The crystal ball glowed, and a golden portal appeared.
“Shall we go then?”
Without hesitation, Seong-jun threw himself into the portal.
Hwaaaaaaack!
Returning home through the portal, Seong-jun immediately checked the time.
“Ah! Home is the best. Anyway, it’s 7:20. Haha, still, being the second time, I cut the clear time by 2 hours.”
Part of it was because he had grown stronger, but having experienced it once before, his improved response also contributed to the time reduction.
“Alright, should I start now? First, the Guardian of the Saint.”
Seong-jun took out all the Skill Level Up Cards stored in his subspace and immediately began raising skill levels.
[Do you wish to use the one-time artifact [Skill Level Up Card]? Yes / No]
“Yes.”
[Please select the skill to apply.]
“Guardian of the Saint.”
[The level of the skill rises from 2 to 3.]
[The level of the skill rises from 3 to 4.]
[The level of the skill rises from 4 to 5.]
[The level of the skill rises from 5 to 6.]
In an instant, he used 4 cards to raise the Guardian of the Saint ability to level 6.
“Should I check if my prediction was right? If not, I might need to use more, so let’s see.”
According to his calculations, at level 6, he should be able to use the guardian ability indefinitely, but that was just his calculation.
He had to actually check if it worked that way.
[Ability] Guardian of the Saint [6/10]
A powerful ability granted only to God’s Agent.
– Can appoint up to 20 Awakened as guardians.
– When a guardian is appointed, their rank rises to the same rank as the caster for a set duration. [If the guardian’s rank is higher than the caster’s, their rank does not change.]
– When a guardian’s rank rises due to appointment, new skills appropriate to that rank are created along with base stats. [When the guardian status is removed, those skills are also deleted.]
– Can lock and use one of the skills of a person who has been registered as a guardian 10 or more times. [Skills created through the guardian appointment cannot be used once the guardian status is removed.]
– Can instantly summon a person registered as a guardian to the caster’s location.
– Special skills [Register Guardian Skill] and [Summon Guardian] become usable.
Cast time: [Instant]
Duration: [1 hour 50 minutes]
Mana consumption: [1,500,000]
Cooldown: [1 hour 48 minutes]
After checking, Seong-jun’s prediction was correct—the duration exceeded the cooldown.
It was only a 2-minute difference, but as long as he timed it right, he could maintain the guardian state without it ever falling off in between.
“As long as I use it at the right timing, I can maintain the guardians indefinitely. But what about these? Register Guardian Skill and Summon Guardian?”
New options were added as the skill level rose—Register Guardian Skill and Summon Guardian.
So Seong-jun quickly checked the two skills.
“What’s this? So I can register a skill of a target who has been a guardian 10 or more times and use it permanently? But skills created through appointment disappear when the guardian status is removed, so they can’t be used? And I can summon a registered guardian to my side once per day?”
Register Guardian Skill was, as the name implied, a skill that allowed him to register one skill of a person appointed as a guardian and use it permanently.
However, the target had to have been registered as a guardian at least 10 times, and skills gained through appointment could not be used even if registered, once the guardian status was removed and the skill was deleted.
Summon Guardian was a skill that allowed him to instantly summon a person registered as a guardian to his side once per day.
“Hmm. I appointed Gwang-taek hyung-nim about 6 times as a guardian in the dungeon this time, so once we enter the dungeon again, I’ll fill up 10 times. I can register Chain of Light from him, and Wind Snipe from Yuseon. As for Chang-su… I need to find out what skills he has and then register one.”
To use their skills anytime, even when they weren’t guardians, it was better to register one of the skills they currently possessed.
So he planned to register Chain of Light from Gwang-taek and Wind Snipe from Yuseon.
He also considered registering Yuseon’s area skill or Spirit Magic Light Cannon, but he chose Wind Snipe, a sniping skill, because he thought he needed a skill with an extremely long range.
As for Chang-su?
Since he didn’t know his exact skill tree yet, he decided to check first and then register a useful one.
