Chapter 202: Warriors
Conditions were necessary to unlock particular Classes. The Dark Sorcerer Class was one of them as was the Warrior of Light. Public information was scarce on the two Classes too. Perhaps mentions and brief explanations in the biographies and documentation on great historical figures but not much else. Unlike the Wizard Class or Intermediate or Master Swordsman Classes, there was no journal or guidebook or recording on the conditions of the Classes. The Classes existed in whispers. A lottery ticket, so to speak.
Dasha received the Dark Sorcerer Class after wearing Jack the Ripper’s mask.
"Hugo Sánchez," Dasha said. "That is the Warrior of Light’s name."
Hugo Sánchez received the Warrior of Light Class as soon as he appeared in the Heavenly Games for his goodness on Earth. That did beg the question: what did he do?
"Hugo Sánchez. We will add him to the list of Champion Candidates. Unless..." Daughter glanced at him. "You killed him already?"
Dasha filled his tea cup. "Unfortunately, our battle was interrupted by the grace period."
"Unfortunate, eh?" She mulled over the name and emptied the last of her cup, which promptly floated over for a refill. Dasha obliged, making sure to add in the necessary sugar pouches. The cup returned to its owner. "A Mexican name, yes? That means we can assume he’s been given the Divine Blessing of the Lord." She raised four fingers. "The class gives four Class Skills: Healer’s Touch, Rays of the Sun, Ultra Mana Efficiency, and a skill bestowed by the god of their religion. Only two elements can be used: Holy Flames and Holy Water. But it’s the Gifted Skill that poses the largest problem. The Divine Blessings of the Lord, a branch of the Foresight skill. In practice, it’s the same thing but the cause of it is different. Foresight is from one’s own future sight—the Divine Blessing of the Lord comes from the Abrahamic God. Ah, well, I suppose it does have one key difference. Unlike Foresight which requires manual application, the Divine Blessing of the Lord is autonomous. It’s a semi-passive, semi-general skill."
’Ah, so that’s why he was directly outside the range of my Qi Sense. I believed it was luck but no. He was given the future. Gifted it.’
"I believe his flames..." Dasha muttered. "...bypassed my defences. At least, that is the only way for me to make sense of the damage I took."
"Yes, that is the effect of Holy Flames. They bypass any armour and strike the soul directly. You have been training as a Cultivator, yes? Until you reach the Nascent Soul, your armour will mean nothing to him." Daughter locked eyes with him. "You should kill this Hugo now while he’s still inexperienced. His overall offense and defence are likely close to class three or four but his raw stats are not. His reaction speed can only go so far with the Divine Blessing. We will have someone follow him and you will give him a death that he cannot avoid—"
"No need. I’ll wait."
