Chapter 47: Divine Radiance – Prelude

“Ding!”

“An unknown powerful existence has descended nearby. You are suppressed by its aura and thus received the following debuff: -90% HP, -90% Attack, -90% Defense, -100% Movement Speed…”

The four teammates in the valley received another notification.

Just like before, this time, they received the same negative effects.

This made them even more confused.

“Why is there another one?”

“What happened inside?”

“Leader is indeed the leader. He’s different from others even when farming dungeons.”

“What is Tyrant doing?”

Twinkle Rose frowned. She wished she could rush to the deepest part of the valley and see the scene clearly, but she could not do so now. She could not even raise a finger.

…

At this moment, a few teammates were asking about the situation in the team channel.

But Lorne had no time to answer them.

Because in this hall, another incomparably huge golden dragon appeared!

On the body of this golden dragon, there was a holy and pure light. The huge golden dragon wings flapped, completely dispelling the cold in the hall. Its huge body occupied the other half of the hall. It was high up and extremely holy.

Lorne looked over and saw a name above him.

[Dragon of Light, Hamut]

Dragon of Light?

Was it the god of the Church of Light?

Lorne had not expected to see the supreme Divine Dragon here.

“Doris, why aren’t you staying in your Dark Dragon Abyss? Why have you come to the Human Empire?”

The Dragon of Light spoke in an extremely calm voice, but it did not sound like it hated evil. The tone was more like meeting a good friend and giving the most basic greeting.

“Do I need to report to you wherever I go?”

There was no fear in her tone.

But Lorne could see that her strength could not resist the Light Dragon’s suppression.

The shadows around Doris were also corroded by the holy light power. No matter how hard she resisted, she could not grasp any more space.

At this moment, the Light Dragon was still releasing its power, and the holy light was becoming more and more magnificent.

Doris could not hold on anymore.

“You’re just relying on the thousands of years of faith…”

Doris snorted, then began to back away.

In the domain of the Human Empire, she was no match for Hamut, not to mention that this was just an avatar of hers now.

However, before leaving, she could not help but look at Lorne and say coldly, “Damn human brat, This King will remember you.”

With that, Doris flapped her wings, opened a spatial door, and vanished from the sealed hall.

At this moment.

Lorne received a notification.

“Ding!”

“You have received the attention of the Dragon of Darkness, Doris. You have received a negative buff: Mark of Darkness.”

Hearing this notification, Lorne felt a headache.

It was fine if the Dragon of Darkness left, but why did she have to give himself a negative buff before she left? Was she a sore loser?

————

[Mark of Darkness] (Buff)

Effect 1: All dark creatures deal+20% damage to you.

Effect 2: You deal +20% damage to all dark creatures.

Effect 3: Due to the fact that this mark is stained with the aura of the Dragon of Darkness, it has a suppressive effect on all low-level dragons. All attributes -10%.

Description: The Dragon of Darkness, Doris, is staring at you. As long as she is within a certain range, she will be able to sense your location.

————

“Is this a negative buff?”

Lorne thought he had seen wrong.

Although the dark creatures could harm him more, he could do the same to them.

If he compared it, it would not be considered a loss, right?

Moreover, the effect of this buff was not only limited to that. Its third effect was most interesting. It could actually threaten the low-level dragons and even reduce their attributes by 10%.

One had to know that these were dragons!

Their attributes were all very powerful.

Reducing the attributes of a dragon by 10% was a terrifying number.

“Did she fall for me?”

Lorne felt that she had a good impression of him, or else she would not have given him such a huge gift when she left.

At this moment, the Dragon of Light, Hamut, said, “Young adventurer, you have been marked by the aura of the Dragon of Darkness. Let me help you cleanse it.”

What?

Cleanse it?

No, no need for that.

Lorne quickly shook his head and said respectfully, “Honorable Dragon God, thank you for your kindness, but I do not want to remove this mark like this. As a new adventurer, I want it to always be by my side, reminding me that there is still a powerful enemy targeting me from the outside world.”

“I didn’t expect you to have such resolution.”

The Dragon of Light’s majestic gaze became much gentler. It approved of the adventurer’s will, and said, “Young adventurer, your courage is commendable. It has been a long time since the Church of Light has had an adventurer join us. If you are willing to join the Church of Light, find it in the main city. I will give you a chance to approach the Divine Radiance.”

With that, a mission panel appeared in front of Lorne with a pleasant reminder.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations on obtaining the recognition of the Dragon of Light and obtaining an epic mission: [Divine Radiance – Prelude]. Do you accept it?”

“Mission Hint: This mission is very difficult. Failure to complete the mission will affect the Dragon of Light’s opinion of you. Please make a careful decision.”

“Prompt: The Church of Light is located in the main city of any human empire.”

An epic mission?

Lorne was stunned by the surprise.

In “Divine Realm”, “epic” was a very high-level term. The rewards for an epic mission were extremely rich and could allow one to surpass all the players at this stage.

Of course, the difficulty of an epic mission was beyond imagination.

To complete the mission, one needed to have immense strength.

Lorne had never doubted his strength.

If this was a mission that even he could not complete, then no one in this world could complete it.

Therefore, he did not hesitate.

“I will definitely go.”

Lorne answered firmly.

This attitude made the Dragon of Light very pleased. It said, “You did not disappoint me.”

“I will wait for you to come. In addition, before you leave, let me give you a greeting gift. Thank you for your contribution to the light.”

With that, the Dragon of Light flapped its wings, and a holy light poured over Lorne as it left the hall.
