Chapter 1603 1598: Holy Power
Since he had made up his mind, Towas was not someone to dawdle. He immediately distanced himself from Su Chen, ready to go all out.If Su Chen wasn't intending to see what was so different about Towas having Holy Power, he would never have easily let him pull away.
Every member of the Glory Knights trains with the Cultivation Method passed down from the Holy See to condense Holy Power.
Towas has been cultivating Holy Power consistently for decades, naturally having an enormously strong presence of Holy Power.
However, he seldom used Holy Power when confronting others.
Condensing Holy Power is not easy, and the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Knights differs from that of the clergy.
The Holy Power they cultivate is mostly stored in their bodies; it's depleted with use but can recover slowly afterwards.
This differs significantly from the clergy.
Clergy can communicate with the 'Bright God' through the use of magic, guiding the Holy Power present and conducting massive magic attacks.
Today, to defeat Su Chen, Towas unhesitatingly revealed his trump card.
"Cross Slash!"
The 'Holy Sword' conjured by powerful Holy Power radiated with dazzling brilliance.
The strength of this sword was such that even Master Gray, who was also a High Rank Saint, would have to evade it, yet Su Chen stood still like a fool.
After delivering the slash, a slight smile appeared on Towas's face.
If Su Chen dodged, he might end up a bit bedraggled, but wouldn't suffer serious injuries.
However, since Su Chen stood there without dodging, taking the full brunt of the sword, wasn't this courting disaster?
Janet widened her eyes at the scene, the shock in her gaze unmistakable.
How is this possible?!
Just now, Towas clearly had nothing in his hand, so how did a Light Sword suddenly appear?
Janet's limited perspective prevented her from imagining. Although she knew of Allen's strength, it was confined to the power he had displayed.
Before becoming her personal guard, Allen also underwent various tests from her.
After easily defeating several guards from the Royal Guard, Allen had gained Janet's approval.
After all, those guards were already incredibly formidable figures in Janet's eyes.
Yet, even joining forces, they couldn't last a few rounds against Allen.
But seeing the means displayed in Su Chen and Towas's confrontation shook Janet.
How could a person 'glow' like that?
Allen, witnessing the Holy Power Towas used against Su Chen, also revealed a glint in his eyes.
The training of Holy Power by the Bright Church is never shared; any clergy who cultivates Holy Power swears an oath to the Bright God.
Although some have tried to covet the Holy Power from the Bright Church, all attempts ended in failure.
This is because the cultivation of Holy Power by the Bright Church requires not only the corresponding Cultivation Method but also faith!
Only by worshiping the Bright God can one continuously acquire Holy Power.
Even if you are a Red Archbishop, once you lose faith in the Bright God, you will have nothing!
The Bright God is the source of Holy Power, and only faith in the god brings divine blessings.
In fact, Towas could no longer acquire Holy Power.
Since retiring from the Glory Knights, he had focused solely on the development and strengthening of the Wood Family, making himself stronger, long since losing faith in the Bright God.
However, his body still harbors a large amount of Holy Power.
Once used, this Holy Power is irreversible, and new Holy Power can never be produced unless he renews his faith in the Bright God.
...
Now, speaking of this 'Cross Slash,' it is a combat skill that most clergy of the Bright Church must learn.
But Su Chen thought Towas's 'Cross Slash' was mere formality because Su Chen had previously seen a 'Holy Cross Slash' performed by a high-ranking deacon of the Heresy Court in the Bright Church.
Its power was at least three times greater than Towas's 'Cross Slash'!
Towas was merely a retired Knight Leader of the Glory Knights, whereas Bru, who had performed the 'Holy Cross Slash' back then, was a high-ranking deacon of the Heresy Court!
The flash of light instantly blinded the eyes of many, and only a few people like Master Gray and Bic could see clearly on stage.
However, their eyes quickly revealed a look of shock and a hint of disbelief.
Did Su Chen actually perfectly block Towas's attack?
The power of the 'Cross Slash' was something even they wouldn't dare to take directly in its full force; a Cross Slash reinforced by Holy Power is terrifyingly powerful.
Though Gray believed he wasn't afraid of Towas, he still didn't dare engage him directly in his prime.
Of course, Master Gray didn't know that the Holy Power Towas was using at the moment was irreversible.
Use a little, lose a little.
That 'Cross Slash' just now had consumed at least one-tenth of Towas's Holy Power!
Towas went to such lengths simply to intimidate Su Chen, expecting that even if Su Chen wasn't heavily injured, he would still be hurt, right?
Believing this would also make Su Chen fear him.
But when the light faded, Su Chen stood before him unharmed, with a mocking expression, leaving Towas stunned, feeling a twinge of humiliation.
"Damn it, how can you be unharmed?!" Towas roared.
Nevertheless, being a seasoned High Rank Saint, he adjusted his mindset a little and launched a second attack on Su Chen.
This time, there was no extravagant Holy Power attack, only the fierce and heavy blows of a knight.
As a knight who charges and breaks through, Towas has a considerable advantage in size and weight.
He transformed his vast Holy Power into armor to protect himself.
Although Su Chen had yet to retaliate, Towas felt immense threat from him, so he had no choice but to cautiously confront him.
For a former Holy Knight, this was already a form of disgrace.
Yet he couldn't bear the consequences of losing to Su Chen even more.
"You'd better show some real skills, or you'll probably lose." Su Chen's voice was indifferent, devoid of any discernable emotion, yet his dominance and confidence were undeniable.
Towas's previous attack was effortlessly blocked by Su Chen, leaving not a scratch.
Even Master Gray, wondering if he could have handled it so easily, realized the answer was obvious: if he attempted to take it head-on like Su Chen, he might have suffered significant injury.
Encased in Holy Power-transformed armor, Towas launched a wild attack on Su Chen, ensuring every punch met its target militarily.
The spectators couldn't help but be shaken by the booming hits.
