Chapter 439: 439
With the suppression force field of the Sanctum and power radiation of the Tower of Dusk in Henricqal, the clergies had gotten a huge boost in strength .
Almost every one of them had the very basic divine ability of Evil Detection . As this ability was getting more powerful with the help of the Tower of Dusk, it evolved into Holy Shock, which could do a lot of damage to even Two Wing-level Darksiders .
In Henricqal, the suppressive energy of the Sanctum of Dusk would beat down the strength of all Darksiders by a level . That meant when a Three-Wing Darksider came to Henricqal, its strength would reduce to Two-Wing . They would face the threat from the lower-level clerics who roamed the streets by the thousands . These lower-level, One-Wing clerics possessed the divine ability to Detect Evil . When this evolved into Holy Shock coupled with the enhancement from the Tower of Dusk, they would do a lot of damage to even Three-Wing Darksiders . This had given rise to a strange, massive defense system . So in Henricqal, the large number of lower-level clerics would function as Three-Wing Darksiders .
“How many lower-level clerics are there in Henricqal?” Lin Sheng rummaged through the statistics in his memories . It was over thirty-six thousand and still counting . “It’s a pity I can still not confirm if energy suppression is effective against the Palatinates . If it is, then it would be too awesome . ”
Lin Sheng sauntered along a street where rollers were rumbling away to resurface the road . There were apparently more people in the streets, and most of them were the Transcendents . There were less ordinary people, but people’s faith in the place’s safety was growing .
It was fairly easy to distinguish Transcendents from ordinary people . In today’s harsh environment, people with no strength tended to behave more cautiously . Transcendents, even the weakest Transcendent, on the other hand, behaved more confidently . For Lin Sheng, distinguishing the Transcendents from the ordinary folk was like seeing a torch in the night . The soul of the Transcendents was generally stronger and easy to differentiate .
Walking around a few corners, Lin Sheng came to a well-designed apartment hotel . He did not go in there, just taking a glimpse of the unit on the eighth floor as he walked past . That was where Xiao Qiaoyue stayed . After Xie Qiaoyue told him about the situation in Xilin, he had arranged her to stay there .

“The stone taken from Xie Qiaoyue is still in the holy water in the research lab . I’m going to check it out and see what it could do . Since Sarroux is still alive, I will have to bring him over no matter what . He is one loyal follower . ”
Lin Sheng was having these thoughts as he walked past the hotel toward the Sanctum of Dusk . He was coming out not to stroll around but to perform an upgrade to the Sanctum .
Behind the window of the apartment hotel, Xie Qiaoyue peeked through the gap of the curtains, looking as Lin Sheng slowly disappeared from her view . She then breathed a sigh of relief .
“He is gone . He has finally gone . Phew! I felt my heart was almost in my mouth!”
Since seeing Lin Sheng a few days ago, she has been a bundle of nerves . She was seeing Lin Sheng as a demon . Her blood would run cold whenever Lin Sheng shot him a glance . She had been in a state of stress .
Moving away from the window, Xie Qiaoyue looked back at the water drop-shaped, dark-green stone on the tea table in the living room . The stone, crystal green, was only the size of a thumbnail . She had been wearing it since she was small and was told it was passed down from her grandma . But since yesterday, something strange started to happen to the pendant . It was heating up, its color more beautiful and clear .

“What is this thing, actually?”
She picked up the pendant . Suddenly discovered something; there was a tiny crescent on the inside .
“This had never been there before?” She raised the pendant close to her eyes, carefully studying it . Just then, it glowed in a dazzling light . The light was as green as jade, forming a circle of eye-catching runes that spun before her eyes . She then heard a voice . It was a singing voice, as light as wind . It seemed to come from afar, and it reverberated in the room . Quickly, she felt a powerful and mysterious force of wind turn into the invisible soul artifact and rush into her head .
It was the Wind Servant .
The Vessel from the Paragon of Destiny had finally come .

In Xilin, Isaac was standing alone at the bridgehead . It was quiet in the surroundings .
The outbreak of the Black Tide had devastated Xilin, which had been a war zone all along . many people had died and were missing . The monsters from the Black Tide fed on the blood and multiplied in number and strength, forcing the army of Xilin and Redwin to retreat . Now, the last battalion of Redwin troops was leaving the land .
Isaac reached to touch his goggles, looking at the crystal-clear river flowing down below .
“Without humans causing pollution, nature seems to be cleaner now . ” A sense of ridicule rose within him .
The mechanized infantry was to escort the support base personnel leaving the area . It was the last batch as the others had evacuated earlier on . Once the evacuation was completed, the monsters would overrun the land, turning it into their playground .
In Xilin, aside from a few important cities, the other areas had turned into ghost zones . The population had reduced by eight-tenth . If not for the area limitation of the Black Tide, the entire Xilin would have fallen into total destruction .
“This was a senseless war . It’s good that it has ended . ”
Isaac fished out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, lit up and inhaled, finishing the entire cigarette in just a breath . With the flick of his fingers, he flung the cigarette bud down the river . Turning around, he strode toward the evacuating forces .
Just then, he heard a thumping sound, like that beating of the heart . Isaac was startled . He looked down at the trinket tied on his waist belt . It was a little black cup, a present his daughter gave him on his birthday . The quaint, Olro-styled little cup looked more like an hourglass than a cup when looking from a distance . But taking a closer look, you would find a viscous transparent liquid on the inside . Isaac did not know what that liquid was . But he knew the sound came from the trinket .
“What’s going on?”
He suspected that some hallucinogenic monster was attacking him .
