Chapter 910: Chapter 911: Pillar of Courage_1

Solanda was a rare profession, a Soul Summoner, who could enslave the souls of monsters once they were near death, but the condition was strict: the final, killing blow must be delivered by Solanda himself, otherwise, there would be no way to enslave a killed monster’s soul;

Moreover, after enslaving a monster’s soul, depending on the monster’s strength and attributes, Solanda would be granted several special skills; the stronger the monster, the better the skills bestowed;

Most importantly, Solanda could also summon the enslaved monster souls to assist in battle. These souls, even though they could only exert 80% of their strength from when they were alive, had no upper limit to how many Solanda could enslave;

As long as he had enough Mental Strength, in theory, he could enslave a whole army of monster souls. Although Solanda was also a profession with a special affinity for Mental attributes, with his current Mental Strength, he could enslave at most fifty ordinary monsters, only ten elite bosses, and a mere five lord-level bosses;

Any more would impact his ability to cast spells;

The enslaved monster souls had a time limit for their existence; ordinary souls could last for seven days, elite boss souls for five days, and lord-level boss souls for only three days. Once the time was up, the enslaved souls would dissipate;

Furthermore, if these monster souls were summoned to assist in battle and died during the combat, they would be gone forever, and even the skills they had granted would vanish, which made this profession considerably restricted.

Originally, Solanda had enslaved enough monster souls, but after several battles, the ordinary monster souls had been nearly all consumed, and none of the three elite boss souls he had enslaved remained, causing Solanda’s combat power to plummet drastically;

However, once Solanda enslaved the souls of ten elite bosses, his strength would leap to become the strongest in the entire team. As long as he adapted to the skills granted by enslaving the bosses, Solanda’s power could completely overwhelm a Mage of the same level;

The boss soul he enslaved this time, just the Blood Shadow Stacking alone, if used against an unguarded player, could completely obliterate that player in ten seconds.

“Boss, I’m going to activate the pillar!” a magic-class player wearing a blue robe, holding a dagger in his right hand and a magical orb in his left, shouted to Tula;

“Go ahead, but be careful!”

Li Mu nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly approached the stone pillar that was no longer guarded by a boss;

He was the only Chinese player in the team, usually quiet, but his strength was not to be underestimated; he was the only formal Mage in the team. In every battle, his damage output was always among the highest, and it was he who first discovered this hidden mission;

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Originally it was a solo mission, but after he claimed it, it was selflessly transformed into a team mission. Even though it reduced the reward he would have gotten, it was definitely safer.

Li Mu walked up to the stone pillar, squinting his eyes to discern the tattered designs on it. It was hard to make out the patterns on the cracked and creviced pillar, and soon, sweat began to form on Li Mu’s forehead. His companions didn’t dare to approach, watching from a distance, feeling anxious for him;

Soon after, Li Mu took out a stone piece from his bag, glanced at the pattern on it, then looked up again to confirm with the pillar before nodding vigorously and muttering to himself, “Pillar of Courage, it must be this one!”

Having said that, Li Mu slammed the stone piece hard against the pillar;

Seeing Li Mu’s action, almost all of his teammates stepped back two paces, except for the Heavy Shield Warrior, who took a defensive stance, solidly protecting the others behind him;

This mission required the correct placement of six stone pieces onto six stone pillars, each stone corresponding to a specific pillar, clues for which needed to be sought from the mission description;

Although everyone had picked up the task, only Li Mu, who had received it first, could complete the selection of rocks and pillars;

If the choice of rocks and pillars was wrong, then a violent explosion would occur, putting the chooser in mortal danger, which was precisely why Li Mu was so tense.

At the moment Li Mu slammed the rock onto the pillar, the entire Sky City seemed to tremble slightly, and the already cracked pillar began to shake violently, then “boom,” it collapsed completely, replaced by a beam of light shooting straight into the sky;

On the surface of this blue beam, several golden runes emerged—if Li Mu and his group knew the language of angels, they would recognize these runes as the words “Pillar of Courage”;

“We did it, we did it!” His companions, who had been hiding behind the Heavy Shield Warrior, saw the beam of light soaring upward and instantly became excited, all jumping up and cheering loudly;

“Continue, continue, there are still five pillars, and five more BOSSes, haha!” The leader Tula laughed out loud, their gaze shifting to the guardians under the other five pillars.

At this moment, Song Jian had already entered the Judgment Hall, and after stepping on the stone stairs, he found himself in a vast space that appeared to be a training ground, with wooden human-shaped targets placed all around the empty square, bearing marks of being battered and slashed, seemingly used for many years;

Scattered on the ground were many iron swords and spears for training, which looked like they had been abandoned for a long while;

Song Jian looked around as he walked towards the training ground;

“How come there are no monsters in this instance?” Song Jian frowned—up until now, he hadn’t detected any monsters in the instance;

Just then, a strange change occurred in the training ground—the orderly wooden targets suddenly burst forth with intense white light;

Soon, the white light grew stronger and merged into one, enveloping Song Jian entirely, causing him to squint and shield his eyes with his hands;

At that moment, a resonant voice sounded in Song Jian’s ear;

“Only the most elite Battle Angels can join the ranks of the Judgers, are you ready?”

Song Jian was startled and suddenly felt that the surrounding white light had vanished. When he opened his eyes again, he found the training ground gone, replaced by an area resembling an arena;

Around him were three tiers of steps, and each step had rows of wooden chairs arranged on it;

In front of Song Jian was a spacious platform, and on the platform, luxurious armchairs were placed every few meters. Song Jian counted—there were a total of twelve such armchairs;

At this moment, whether the simple wooden chairs or the twelve luxurious armchairs in front, there was not a single soul, but inexplicably, a thirty-second countdown appeared before Song Jian;

System: You have triggered the hidden mission, Angel Judger. If you can successfully clear this instance, you will receive the special title “Angel Judger,” which can be advanced!
