Chapter 604 - 301 Judgment and Trial_2
And it was at this very moment that the inky black tendrils abruptly descended upon the paladin on the right, the innate, intense sucking force instantly erupting. Having just utilized the power of Judgment, the ordeal had already been a significant drain on the paladin himself, even a cultivator of his level needed some time to catch his breath. This sudden compelling pull, however, set his inner spiritual power into a forced squall, leaving him feeling as though he was being hollowed out. A muffled groan escaped him as he understand the severity, and he concentrated his full force on activating his Spirit Palisade, absorbing the light elements from the air around him, barely restoring some measure of stability to his body.
The paladin on the left was faced with these same predicaments. Although their spiritual power had also been devoured earlier, compared to the present situation, it was like comparing heaven to earth. If they could previously partially resist the sucking force with their Spirit Palisade, now, once the force had taken effect, resistance stood no chance against it. The sheer magnitude of the suction made them experience instantaneous trances, such that they were unable to immediately manage restraining and guiding the Judgment.
On the other side, Long Kongkong was bedecked in bright light as the enhancing attribute of the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace took effect on the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace. The terrifyingly substantial suction strength of Touch of the Abyss broke the defense of two 8th Rank powerful experts. Long Kongkong himself had already advanced to becoming a 7th Rank Temple Knight, which greatly amplified his capabilities of withstanding this force, not to mention the presence of the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace with its endless vast ocean effect. Within the span of a few seconds, both the paladins had over five percent of their spiritual power devoured.
Keep in mind, one paladin’s fundamental spiritual power was as high as thirty-thousand. Five percent in an instant was already equivalent to over three-thousand spiritual power. What was of even greater significance was the direct influence it had on them. They felt as though even their spiritual power was partially devoured. They were utterly unable to suppress their feelings of weakness.
After one evolution of the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace, Long Kongkong discovered that it not only had the ability to enhance another spirit furnace but also demonstrated an incomparable proficiency in switching between enhancements. Only then did he truly experience the wonderful sensation of unity with the spirit furnace, as if manipulated by his will.
Long Dangdang had returned to Long Kongkong’s side by this time, the copious spiritual power emanating from his younger brother rejuvenating the radiance about him.
With his prowess, Long Dangdang was certainly unable to break free from the clutches of the two paladins. But, don’t forget, they possessed not only the Wisdom Spirit Furnace and the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace but also the most cherished of the protection knights - the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace! When the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace of Long Kongkong took effect on Long Dangdang, the Redirection triggered by the 2nd Rank Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace with Long Dangdang posing no resistance, naturally enabled him to accelerate instantly, much akin to an Instant Transfer. Such was the silent rapport between twins, requiring no verbal communication, both parties could sense each other’s needs.
At this instance, the complexions of the two paladins turned rather interesting. Apparently, these two young individuals in front of them were now the subjects of their focus. These two brave enough to challenge them were indeed extraordinary, many of the peculiar powers of their spirit furnaces were something that they had never heard of before.
"Esteemed seniors, please be careful." Long Dangdang said solemnly.
