Chapter 102 Divine Blessing

Generally speaking, a blessing skill that can double a certain stat is called a God-tier Blessing by players.

Once a paladin or priest learns such a blessing skill, their worth will at least quintuple or sextuple. In instance maps, such a blessing can often have miraculous effects at crucial moments.

This is why, in his past life, Guardian Knights and Holy Priests were valued far higher than other top-tier classes. Guardian Knights and Holy Priests with God-tier Blessings were incredibly important to a team.

The paladin Leffers had at least eight or nine such skills. These blessing skills were originally quite ordinary, but because they were of very high level, at least Level 10 or higher, they became awe-inspiringly powerful.

Ming, Lie, and the others were also somewhat surprised; the situation had suddenly become uncontrollable.

"What's going on? Just who is that paladin Leffers? Why would he suddenly help the Starry Sky?" Ming asked, puzzled. After being blessed, the people from the Temple of Glory suddenly became extremely difficult to deal with, and they had to retreat. Ming was inwardly shocked. The change in the strength of the people from the Temple of Glory was too obvious. This difference made them realize just how powerful Leffers the paladin was.

"I don't know. This NPC suddenly appeared," Lie said, also somewhat perplexed. Under normal circumstances, NPCs wouldn't help players against their enemies, unless the NPC was their servant. Could paladin Leffers be a servant of Starry Sky? Lie dismissed this guess. If Leffers the paladin was Starry Sky's servant, why didn't Starry Sky have someone summon him out from the start?

The situation was gradually getting out of control. Darkwinter, Heavenly Executioner, and Death's Descent inexplicably fell into a slump. The unkilled Wandering Princess Eina constantly swept through the nearby players. Since the players' damage output couldn't keep up, there were signs of the Wandering Princess Eina's health recovering. The commotion on Darkwinter, Heavenly Executioner, and Death's Descent's side attracted the Wandering Princess Eina's attention, and they were doomed. After a few rounds of magic from the Wandering Princess Eina, the players from these three guilds suffered heavy casualties.

Taking a glance at the powerful Wandering Princess Eina in the distance, Nie Yan estimated that killing her would be difficult, but still achievable. He decided to put it aside for now and deal with the Bloodlust first. Ming, Lie, and the other thieves had disappeared.

Nie Yan arrived at the area where Ming and the others were active and activated the Eye of Truth. A red glint flashed in his pupils as he searched the area. He soon saw faint figures one after another; they were all thieves from Bloodlust. They had no intention of fleeing.

Should he reveal himself and kill a few Bloodlust thieves?

After thinking about it, Nie Yan looked at Leffers the paladin in the distance. Leffers was more decisive when it came to killing people.

Under Nie Yan's control, Leffers the paladin rapidly approached, getting within thirty yards of the Bloodlust members.

"That paladin NPC is coming over, should we leave?" Feng said from the side. In his opinion, dealing with Leffers the paladin would be difficult with their strength. Currently, Darkwinter, Death's Descent, and Heavenly Executioner were at a disadvantage. If they revealed themselves, the situation would be hard to predict.

"He shouldn't be able to detect us. Let's watch and see. He's just an NPC, probably doesn't have much intelligence," Ming said. After dealing with NPCs and Lord-class monsters so many times, he deeply understood their weaknesses: a lack of combat intelligence. As long as you grasped certain skills, they were easy to deal with.

What Ming and the others didn't know was that Leffers the paladin was controlled by Nie Yan, and his combat intelligence was no worse than anyone else's.

Leffers the paladin hacked and slashed at the Heavenly Executioner players while slowly approaching Ming and the others, but he never paid any attention to the thieves.

Ming and the others cautiously tested Leffers the paladin. They discovered that his detection range was only five yards. With such a distance, they could ensure a successful ambush. Once the ambush succeeded, the five of them could control Leffers the paladin to death.

Looking at the brazen Ming and the others, an idea flashed in Nie Yan's mind, and a strange smile appeared on his lips. Five thieves—he wondered how many he could kill.

Nie Yan's gaze fell on Leffers the paladin's skill bar. With so many overpowered skills in the skill bar, it wouldn't be easy to mess with one or two thieves.

Ming and the others didn't realize they had fallen into a trap set by Nie Yan.

"This paladin NPC's detection is so low, Ming. Should we kill him?" Lie said from the side, itching for a fight.

They had tested Leffers the paladin's detection range and found it was only three yards. At this distance, they could ensure a successful sneak attack. Once the sneak attack succeeded, the five of them could control Leffers to death.

"Who's going to initiate the control?" Ming asked in the team chat.

"I'll do it," the youngest, Feng, replied.

"Alright, you initiate the control. Let's kill him!" Ming said. Apart from being strong at blessing and having thick health, Leffers the paladin didn't seem like much.

Feng entered stealth and approached Leffers the paladin's back.

Seeing a figure gradually approaching Leffers the paladin, Nie Yan smiled slightly. It was finally starting.

Feng slowly sneaked to about three yards away from Leffers the paladin, then suddenly burst forth, lunging toward Leffers's back.

Just as he lunged, Leffers the paladin suddenly moved, casting a Holy Sacrifice on himself, becoming immune to all control effects.

*Bang!* Feng's attack hit Leffers the paladin's back.

The control skill was ineffective. Feng was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Leffers the paladin to have such high combat skills, using a skill like Holy Sacrifice the moment he lunged. An ominous premonition flashed through his mind.

Divine Sight!

Leffers the paladin suddenly widened his eyes, locking onto Feng, Lie, Ming, and the others.

This divine light instantly made all the thieves unable to hide.

Before Feng could land, Leffers the paladin roared, casting a Holy Shackles, instantly binding Feng, Ming, Lie, and the others in place.

Holy Strike!

Leffers the paladin slashed his sword at Feng, his attack easily piercing Feng's leather armor, killing him with a single strike!

"Damn, we were ambushed!"

Leffers the paladin's combat intelligence was much stronger than they had imagined.

"Everyone, run!" Ming shouted anxiously, activating skills like Gale Step to escape.

Seeing Ming and the others run, Nie Yan's gaze suddenly turned cold. Want to run? Not so easy.

Momentum!

Leffers the paladin cast Momentum on himself, his speed instantly soaring several times, like a tank rolling over Ming and the others.

Although their Gale Step running speed was very fast, it was trash compared to Leffers the paladin. Even Nie Yan couldn't outrun Leffers the paladin after he had Momentum, let alone Ming and the others.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll be busy with Tomb Sweeping Day, going back and forth between my family and my girlfriend's family, so there will be five to six thousand words of updates. The day after tomorrow, I'll go back and explode with twelve thousand words for three days.
