Chapter 46 Aura of Courage
Nohir, who was dispatching tasks to the owlbear, heard this and turned around to ask curiously.
"Celestial War Horse? Have you ever been able to summon a Celestial War Horse?"
No reason why Nohir was not curious, because as far as he knew, the paladin wanted to cast the spell of summoning a Celestial War Horse. The professional level must reach at least level five before there is a slight possibility of learning this spell.
If Scar had ever known this spell, it at least proves that his previous professional level must have been above level five, and conservatively estimated to be at least level seven.
As for why he was so weak that he was captured by the devil before, it is probably because of the weakening of power caused by changing his oath. However, this weakening should only be temporary. Maybe after a while, Ska will be able to return to his former peak.
This is what Nohill guessed.
‘Find some time to ask Scar what kind of abilities he has mastered. After all, if we act together in the future, if we don’t even know the abilities of our teammates, we won’t be able to cooperate at all. ’
When Scar heard Nohir’s question, he just lowered his voice and said in a relieved tone.
"It's all in the past. On the day my vow ended, I knew that my old buddy and I would never see each other again."
Scar is 36 years old this year. According to human standards, this age is in the prime of life. It can be said that he is in the best condition in his life.
Ska has already become a ninth-level paladin at this age. In the eyes of ordinary people, his progress is not unsatisfactory, his dedication is not insufficient, and his faith is not unsteady.
In the Hell Knights of Eltoril, Scar's abilities are enough to elevate him to the position of squadron leader. If nothing else happens, he may even be able to do so at the age of 50. He was promoted to deputy captain, so with such abilities, he naturally mastered the extraordinary ability called [Summoning Celestial Mount].
Through this ability, he can condense and manifest his beliefs, and finally sign a contract with a spiritual celestial war horse through complicated rituals.
From now on, the two parties will be dependent on each other and have the same mind. If nothing unexpected happens, this contract will last a lifetime.
The war horse has extraordinary strength, wisdom and loyalty, and is connected with the summoner's mind. It can run on the water, and can also travel through the air in a short period of time. Such mounts can already be regarded as the top batch.
In the mortal world, there are few creatures that are more powerful than this kind of spiritual celestial war horse. If we really want to say that, I am afraid that only a few mounts such as the legendary Pegasus and unicorn can be superior to it. .
But this is all in the past. As the vows in the past were broken, the contract he once signed also ended. The heavenly war horse that has been with him for more than six years will no longer be there. will answer his call.
“Unless I can regain the vows I made in the past, I know in my heart that this is impossible.”
“I am destined to walk on the road of revenge forever. Go on until the city is redeemed and the sin of my incompetence is paid for.”
"But I don't dare to hope."
I am not a strong man. Although he did not say it clearly, despair has almost filled his heart. From the day the city fell, from the day he made the vow of revenge From that day on, he has been striding towards destruction.
He never thought that he could really save Eltoril, he just wanted revenge, even if he died in the process.
Nohir suddenly heard this despair, and he also understood that now he must not let this despair continue to take root and completely crush this tempered paladin. He immediately spoke loudly Scolded.
"Have you forgotten what you just said yesterday? Is your sword really rusty! Is your shield really corroded! Are you really going to be defeated by the predicament in front of you? ”
"Eltoril will definitely be saved. Now all the great men in the entire North are worried about this matter, and all noble people are constantly acting towards the goal of saving Eltoril."
< br>"We are also walking on this road at this moment. Believe in yourself, believe that your actions are meaningful, and believe that we can contribute to this noble cause of salvation."
"Don't hesitate, don't Be afraid, don’t care who the person standing in front of us is, Ska, the really important thing is never to doubt yourself, your faith is your most powerful strength, never doubt yourself!”
"If you are really confused, then you believe in me, believe that I can lead you to find the truth, believe that I can pull you out of the quagmire, believe that I can let you chop off the head of that shameless traitor." Just believe me.”
Nohir's words were like a heavy axe, striking hard at his already wavering heart. His originally confused and uncertain will was reborn again because of these impassioned words.
"...just yesterday, I lost my trust in my oath because of your terrible words. I couldn't sleep that night, and those terrible possibilities kept emerging from my mind, those things I had The terrifying conspiracy that I couldn’t even imagine has been wearing down my will like crazy.”
“You told me the truth, but I refused to believe the most likely truth.”
"...It won't be like this anymore. No matter who the enemy is in front of me, I will never back down."
"My sharp blade splits the thorns, my warhammer smashes the iron wall, and I fight against this city. The dedication is not over yet and will never be over, in the name of revenge!”
"My oath will be unbreakable!"
As soon as these sonorous and powerful words were spoken, the dark aura belonging to the vengeful paladin suddenly spread outward from Scar's body surface! Nohir and Owlbear, who were illuminated by the spiritual light, seemed to have lost all their chaotic thoughts in an instant, and a fearless feeling emerged from their chests, which even made people want to roar.
“—Aura of Courage!”
That’s right, after Scar completely strengthened his faith, he successfully advanced and realized the extraordinary abilities of the tenth-level paladin. , the aura of courage.
This extraordinary aura is a special skill of the paladins. It is similar to Nohir's wolf aura, but different. The duration of this aura is very long, and can even be said to be normal. It is a semi-permanent power that can be shared with teammates around you!
‘This guy Ska didn’t lie! It turns out he is really strong! '
Originally, Nohill always thought that Scar's professional level was not particularly high, at least not more than level six. The reason for making this judgment was because all level six paladins would be in that level. Level up to understand a powerful skill called Guardian Aura.
Once you master this ability, you can turn it on and off at any time, and on weekdays, you will involuntarily leak out a hint of aura, making your friends in the same camp feel warm and comfortable, which Ska has never done before. Demonstrated this ability.
But what Nohill doesn't know is that Ska's aura skills have been in a silent state because his faith has been wavering before. It wasn't until Nohill scolded him awake today that he finally became completely firm. On his own path, he regained control of his past abilities, and took this opportunity to break through and become stronger!
“Your language is always so wise, Nohill, sometimes I can’t help but forget that your profession is that of a barbarian.”
"But just like what you said today, I was almost lost. If you hadn't pulled me up, maybe I would have died in a unknown corner in a few days, and been eaten by wolves. , was bitten by a vicious dog."
The aura of courage gradually faded away, and Ska turned to face Nohir, and spoke to Nohir word for word in a serious, even solemn tone.
"That is the real sadness."
Then he suddenly knelt down on one knee, put the shield beside him, smashed the warhammer to the ground, leaned down slightly, and then slowly He raised his head and said firmly and solemnly.
“So I swear here, I follow you, Nohir, I follow your wisdom, I follow your vision, I follow the hope you have given me, because this is what I have been lacking for so long. Treasure.”
"So I hereby swear that unless my path with you is diverted, my loyalty will be as solid as rock and as hard as fine steel."
"There is no possibility of betrayal."
