At around ninety percent, everything was as clear as daylight.
The red bar should represent the data manifest of health and vitality status, the blue bar is the direct manifestation of how much Divine Authority remains. As for the yellow one? That’s yet to be determined but it’s definitely not as simplistic as a stamina bar.
Upon comparing the internal inspection results, a Divine Maiden’s internal inspection doesn’t include health and vitality levels but rather reflects one’s physical framework. By judging the amount of pale blue substance within, one can determine the remaining amount of Divine Authority. The Divine Analysis Technique, however, proves to be a lot more straightforward and all-encompassing.
Wenfu doesn’t have much Divine Authority left; it’s time to wrap this up quick.
What about the other two?
Tillysha examined the enemy Mage’s status. Unlike Wenfu, this Mage didn’t have a blue bar, only a yellow and red one. The red bar was similarly undamaged, but the yellow one had suffered quite a bit, almost depleted.
Ah, now it makes sense.
Tillysha understood: The yellow bar represented Spirit Energy. Mages expend Spirit Energy when releasing scrolls, different from Divine Authority, Spirit Energy can only be recovered through rest or sleep.
Just as she was about to shift her gaze towards Blake, Tillysha suddenly felt dizzy.
She squinted and quickly deactivated the Divine Analysis Technique.
Her own Spirit Energy was almost depleted too.
Even though she had slept and replenished some energy, continuously viewing others’ specific statuses doubled the consumption of Spirit Energy. Keeping the Divine Analysis Technique active might even prevent her from coming up with strategies to fight.
Her Spirit Energy capacity was too weak to sustain the consumption of an epic-level Divine Analysis Technique. That was also the reason why, after the battle began, she would only use the Divine Analysis Technique to glance at the enemy’s Divine Authority information before immediately turning it off — her energy was just too limited.
But the intel she gathered was worth every bit of Spirit Energy spent.
The opposing Mage had been worn down and could no longer cast many spells.
Looking at the Mage’s face, though as composed as ever, there was an undeniable pallor.
Feeling one’s Spirit Energy depleted wasn’t a pleasant experience at all, yet this Mage Mr. acted as if nothing was wrong. Little did he know that his forced composure had already been seen through by Tillysha.
Since he can’t cast magic anymore,
Golden bow wings unfurled from either side as a beam of light was drawn onto the bowstring. However, Tillysha didn’t loosen the string just yet. Under the energy accumulation of the twin gleaming golden wings, the light in her hand grew bigger, its shine becoming increasingly brilliant, shifting from a single color to a dazzling three colors.
Tillysha’s intention to attack was crystal clear as she pointed the bowstring directly at the Mage.
Upon seeing this, the Mage was slightly taken aback.
It was evident that Tillysha had the ability to charge with Divine Authority.
However, charging in front of two enemies entailed immense risk. When facing a Mage, Ranger Divine Maiden, or a Cannon Divine Maiden type of ranged attackers, the charge could easily get interrupted. Not only would it waste Divine Authority, but it could also reveal her vulnerabilities, possibly even backfiring with her own Divine Authority.
Did she not consider these fine details? Why did she seem so confident about charging? Wasn’t she afraid that he would use magic to interrupt her charge?
You greenhorn! Was that intentional or did you not even consider this possibility?
The Mage felt an overwhelming urge to reprimand Tillysha for this high-risk attack strategy.
With the Mage already present, how dare you even attempt to do that?!
But lo and behold, the Mage realized he couldn’t do anything about it — his Spirit Energy was already depleted, he couldn’t cast magic anymore.
No… Could it be that precisely because she knew his Spirit Energy was depleted that she dared to charge openly?
The Mage instantly discarded this thought.
There was no Divine Son present on the field, Tillysha couldn’t possibly know his internal details. Moreover, what level of Divine Analysis Technique would be required to directly view his Spirit Energy bar? The Mage had never heard of such an unearthly Divine Analysis Technique.
“Miss Shires, there’s no need to bless me this time.”
“Hmm?”
“Your Divine Authority isn’t abundant, is it?”
Upon hearing this, Wenfu was perplexed as to how Tillysha managed to discern that her Divine Authority was less than half-depleted, but she still unraveled the praying gesture.
At this moment, the Mage also calmed down. Let her charge away, he could dodge anyway. The blond girl probably didn’t expect him, this Mage, to have deliberately practiced speed…
Just as the light arrow was about to leave the string, Tillysha swiftly pointed the bow at Blake nearby and released the string.
The tri-colored light arrow shot forward with unstoppable force toward Blake.
What?!!
The Mage, who was prepared to dodge, widened his eyes. His preparations felt wasted as he suddenly realized he no longer understood Tillysha’s thought process.
When the previous attack failed, it was clear that he, this Mage unshielded by a Realm, would be the easier target to eliminate. Why did she feint and then target Blake instead?
But…
Turns out, she guessed right.
With Blake’s speed, he couldn’t evade such a swift light arrow and had no choice but to take the hit.
Blake could only muster all his strength and unleash an Airflow Slash in an attempt to offset Tillysha’s charged tri-colored light arrow.
“Bang Bang!” But this time, he had no room to maneuver. Without teammate support, the charged light arrow had unmatched power compared to a rapid fire arrow. An Airflow Slash was no match for such a powerful light arrow.
Blake was instantly blown away.
Immediately after Blake was blasted off, Tillysha swiftly slung her longbow behind her and threw a short sentence over her shoulder to Wenfu behind her.
“Miss Shires, please give me speed blessing, thank you.”
“No problem.” Although Wenfu didn’t understand why Tillysha, an archer, would prefer speed over strength, she still nodded in agreement. As Tillysha charged forward, Wenfu gradually realized something, her expression filled with confusion.
How did she know that my Divine Authority could bless speed?
… Could it be that Tillysha instinctively said this out of her perception that all priestly Divine Maidens were meant to bless various buffs?
Wenfu could only conclude to that possibility.
Thinking that way, she didn’t hesitate to release her Divine Authority. With both her hands in prayer, Tillysha’s silhouette was instantly filled with a faint layer of pink.
Seeing their teammate get blasted off, the Mage was already in a panic. Golden flashes appeared right in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, they were almost upon him.
Startled, the Mage immediately pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist. Tillysha, on the other hand, crouched and touched the ground, her emerald-like eyes calmly looking at him.
[Holy Oblivion Blade]
Two blades of earth condensed by the power of the earth were drawn out of the soil by Tillysha.
The Mage was astonished.
Could this archer actually engage in melee combat?!
Her Divine Authority was supposed to just sh**t light arrows, why does she have a Divine Authority to manifest weapons?
What exactly are her Divine Authority and Realm?!
The Mage’s confusion went unanswered, and he was caught off guard. In his expectation, if he lacked protection from teammates, Tillysha would at most sh**t him a few arrows, and he could have easily dodged them.
The enemy archer charging in for melee combat was a path he never anticipated.
Truly, Tillysha made the right choice. Perhaps the Mage wouldn’t fear her light arrows, but against a speed-blessed Tillysha transformed into a warrior Divine Maiden, the Mage had no resistance at all.
This Mage rarely practiced melee combat, and against the point-blank, relentless blade, he couldn’t dodge or block.
This horrifying judgment was as if she knew their statuses like the back of her hand…
