Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 616 - 39: Imperial Court Maid Squad Captain and Elf Great Sage_2
Rose gave Gandru a sidelong look and said, "Don’t be so rude, Gandru. This is the guest the Empress personally named to have an audience with. Just leave him to me."
Gandru said nonchalantly, "Then I’ll hand over here and you can take him to the Imperial Palace. I need to gather the elites to surround his army. If Her Majesty the Empress agrees to our attack, I need to ensure more heroes participate in defeating a Legendary Hero to gain powerful Commander Traits."
Lin Rui said irritably, "This kind of thing, you don’t need to say in front of me. Moreover, I advise you not to make such a big deal; it’s a complete waste of energy."
"Hmph! Arrogant and conceited, I await the moment the Empress orders!" Gandru turned away disdainfully and left directly.
Rose stepped forward and said to Lin Rui, "I am tasked to take you to the Royal Court to see the Empress. However..."
Before Rose could finish speaking, Lin Rui suddenly felt a vast murderous intent enveloping him.
Rose’s frosty voice came, "I think a dirty bug like you isn’t really qualified to see the Empress! Die!"
In the next moment, dazzling sword light illuminated the entire Royal Court, sword qi poured down like a star river, instantly enveloping Lin Rui and the entire surrounding space!
This scene, like the heavens and earth falling, is utterly unavoidable!
Rose’s strike was imbued with lethal intent.
Lin Rui could only grit his teeth, and in the first moment, he used all his spiritual energy to launch the Absolute Domain Force Field.
Rose sneered, "You think a mere Tier Five Absolute Domain Force Field can withstand my Tier Nine attack? Simply wishful thinking."
As Rose said, her overwhelming spiritual energy caused her sword qi to explode with spiritual reactions, surpassing even Lin Rui the mage, directly piercing Lin Rui’s Absolute Domain.
But Lin Rui said coldly, "You think my purpose is defense? No! I’m just going for an all-out attack, you’ll die with me together!"
As Lin Rui made this declaration, the Tenfold Destiny Card shone upon Lin Rui.
The cards for [White Robed Mage], [Destiny Sacrifice], [Repentant Nun], [Empress’s Presence], [Dark Mage], [Light Envoy], etc., all boosted Lin Rui’s mage power instantly.
This immense spiritual reaction caused Lin Rui’s mage power to quickly swell; the longsword that pierced through the Absolute Domain field began to dissipate!
Rose opened her mouth wide in shock, what level of divine power is this?
It allowed a Tier Five mage’s spiritual strength to exceed her own.
Though she’s a swordsman, she’s a Magic and Martial Swordsman, the strongest profession of the Elf race! Her spiritual strength is not lower than that of an ordinary mage.
Yet at this moment she’s surpassed by a Tier Five mage!
Lin Rui was also slightly surprised, never expecting to draw three spiritual-oriented gold cards in a row.
But he only glanced briefly, withdrew his focus, and pointed forward with his right hand, activating [Faith Intervention], [Dark Words Spirit Thought]!
[Dark Words Spirit Thought lv3: Instant spiritual skill to destructively impact the internal structure of a distant target with absolute spiritual strength, causing (Wisdom Value + Soul Value) * n/25 points of spiritual damage. Cooldown 20 seconds. (Note: Why is the mage called a mage, most importantly in the ability to ignore enemy heavy armor! Spirit Magic bursts within the target, even if wearing Extreme Heavy Armor, it offers no defensive effect at all.)]
[Faith Intervention] maxed out Lin Rui’s proportion of true damage to 100%.
And Lin Rui’s Wisdom Value + Soul Value had already reached 500, under the lv3 [Dark Words Spirit Thought], the invested spiritual energy value would cause 20 times the true damage to the target.
Then, taking into account the spiritual strength correction, this final value in the case where spiritual strength doubles, will be further strengthened several fold.
This was the most terrifying damage Lin Rui could cause on a single target situation, nearly leaving no room for solution!
This time, Lin Rui chose to risk everything, directly reducing his Life Value to single digits.
Once the overwhelming spiritual energy bursts inside Rose, even the Tier Nine Rose won’t be able to resist!
The key is Lin Rui himself was already in an uncontrollable state, Rose wouldn’t have time to interrupt even if she wanted to.
The loss of a Tier Nine Legendary Hero was indeed a severe blow to the well-off Elf race!
At this moment in the courtyard, a gust of green life wind swept through, and all agitation, frosty sword qi, and overwhelming spiritual reactions disappeared.
Time seemed to rewind to three seconds earlier.
Then a Druid Sage holding a Magic Staff naturally walked out from within the thick branches of the World Tree, and spoke slowly, "Young people, don’t be so impetuous, risking your life heedlessly. There are so many beautiful things in the world that you haven’t seen yet, it’s such a pity to lose your life so easily?"
Rose immediately withdrew her longsword, bowed respectfully and said, "Star Nebula Sage, sorry for disturbing you."
Star Nebula nodded, and slowly said, "Rose little girl, you’re still as mischievous as when you were little, always causing trouble in the Royal Court. I remember you loved graffiti, scribbling on Mother World Tree. Now you’ve grown even bolder, wielding your sword against the Empress’s guest."
Rose’s face turned slightly red, feeling somewhat embarrassed and shy; she’s already a thousand-year-old Tier Nine powerhouse, yet still being mentioned about her childhood days by the Great Sage.
Within the Royal Court, only the Great Sage would talk to her, the Captain of the Guard, in such a manner.
Rose recalled climbing onto the Great Sage’s lap in her childhood, pulling his beard and listening to stories of ancient times.
She remembered faintly that the Great Sage looked aged even a millennium ago, according to legend, he was the earliest creature birthed by Mother World Tree.
But after a thousand years, the Great Sage still looks aged, only his power grows increasingly unfathomable. Specifically, every time she improved her tiering, the Great Sage’s prowess appeared more terrifying.
When she was a child, she thought he was just an old man, and she could win against him with her wooden sword.
As a young adult, she thought she was formidable, at the peak for mortals. Seeing the Great Sage then, felt like encountering a mountain, an immovable force.
But upon becoming a Tier Nine Legendary Hero, looking at the Great Sage, he seemed not a mountain but a world, with the mark of Mother World Tree upon him, he carried an entire world, an impossible existence to overturn, akin to trying to overturn the sky, completely delusional and impossible to start.
The more her power grew, the more respect she held for Star Nebula Sage; facing the sage’s gentle reprimand, she quickly straightened her stance, respectfully lowered her head, and said, "Great Sage, I was merely testing if he has the strength to harm the Empress."
Star Nebula Sage nodded and said, "Indeed, this is your duty. However, your methods were a bit too direct."
Rose secretly gritted her teeth, who could’ve thought this Tier Five mortal could erupt such terrifying spiritual energy?
Rose had been confident, believing her Tier Nine Legendary mastery could easily handle him, hoping to test his limits.
Yet the guy risked everything, almost flipping the Royal Court.
Seeing Rose gnashing her teeth, wishing to bite him, Lin Rui glared at her irritably, "Who asked you to test this way? I had to counterattack equivalently. Life and death are fated!"
"Hahaha!" Star Nebula Sage chuckled kindly, looked at Lin Rui, and said, "What an impressive young man. You remind me of an old acquaintance. You both are the kind of heroes capable of creating infinite possibilities."
"If you enter to see the Empress like this, you might cause a ’crown of anger’, even attempt an assassination against the throne. Young man, I temporarily seal your traits for an hour. Apologies."
