Chapter 414
chapter 326 part 2
Both the Death Knight and the Soul Eater were known as legendary undead. Since they had been preparing to face a Death Knight, Kelart had naturally consulted historical records and had indirectly learned about the other type of legendary undead.
It was a type of undead that greedily devoured the souls of the living. Legend had it that they once appeared in an orc city on the Central Continent.
It caused the deaths of over 100,000 people and turned an entire city into ruins, which came to be known as the "Silent City."
To fight this kind of monster, one needed to be able to use at least third-tier magic. Otherwise, it would be difficult to even face such a monster, as it would spread a power known as "Fear."
"Remedios..."
Kelart's neck was stiff.
"What's wrong?" Remedios drew her holy sword.
"Run!"
"Run, now!" Kelart's face was pale. She spun around and roared, completely losing her composure, "Holy Knight Order, Cleric Corps, everyone retreat!"
Remedios was stunned; she had never seen her sister lose her composure like this.
The feeling of panic spread like a plague across the entire battlefield!
The demi-humans, who were at the front and also the most numerous, were the first to break, fleeing to the rear in a single, panicked wave.
Terrified screams were everywhere.
Dust and sand were kicked up by the scattering, fleeing demi-humans. The ground was littered with the corpses of humans and demi-humans, as well as the mangled remains of those who had been turned into undead long ago.
"Everyone..." Enri stood rooted to the spot, at a complete loss as she stared blankly at the chaotic, disordered, and panic-stricken battlefield before her.
Standing in the very center of the battlefield.
Enri suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance. "Life... is so fragile."
"Enri, hurry up and leave!"
The Green Leaf Witch rushed over from behind, grabbing Enri's arm to pull her away.
"No."
Enri gently pulled her arm free and suddenly smiled faintly. "Lord Captain is still fighting. How could I possibly leave?"
"The Captain won't be in any danger..." the Green Leaf Witch said quickly, her eyes filled with terror as she looked ahead. She could already faintly make out the figure of the Soul Eater.
Wait!
The Green Leaf Witch's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She looked down at the hand Enri had pulled free. When did Enri get so strong?
"Miss Cui Ye, did you know? I just prayed to the gods with all my heart, but I found that the only thing that answered me was my own voice."
Enri blinked, disappointment showing in her dark brown pupils, which at the same time flickered with a peculiar light.
"I'm just a farmer's wife from a border village."
"From the very beginning, I knew how vast the gap was between myself and Lord Captain."
Enri raised her hand, clutching the chestnut-gold, three-strand braid that lay across her chest. She looked up at the holy figure battling in the sky, her eyes filled with longing.
"But it's only now that I've realized this gap is even larger than I ever imagined."
"Because even those high-and-mighty nobles, the captain of the Paladins, and legendary strong ones like the Ten Evils of the Demi-Humans can now do nothing but gaze up at the sky or run away..."
The anxious look on the Green Leaf Witch's face grew more intense. She felt like she was going mad.
No!
It was Enri who had gone mad.
What on earth is this kid doing!
Looking at the desperately fleeing demi-humans and Humans, and the Soul Eater that was now fully in view, a cold sweat drenched the Green Leaf Witch's body. She wished she could abandon Enri and run away immediately.
But if she did that! Her master would definitely kill her, along with her sister.
"What are you trying to do!?" The Green Leaf Witch's voice was strained. She was now considering whether to defy her master's orders, knock Enri out, and drag her away.
"I don't know..."
Enri murmured to herself, her brown pupils fixed on the Soul Eater and its yellow-green miasma, which had come into her line of sight.
"I want to close the distance to Lord Captain."
"I want to be of help to Lord Captain."
"I want... Everyone's lives shouldn't end here."
Enri turned to look at the anxious Green Leaf Witch beside her, her lips pressed into a smile, the corners of her eyes still glistening with unshed tears.
"Miss Cui Ye, I think I can help now."
Whoosh—
A wave of air blew past, rustling the hem of Enri's dirty and somewhat tattered skirt.
Enri bent down and picked up a longsword from the ground.
The Green Leaf Witch's pupils inexplicably constricted, and she took a step back.
Remedios and Kelart, who were in the process of retreating, looked at the two figures standing motionless in the distance at the center of the battlefield, their expressions stunned.
"What are those two doing? Are they insane!?"
Above the battlefield.
Tang Zheng and the Alliance Leader, locked in fierce combat, also noticed the scene on the ground.
"A Soul Eater? It actually succeeded!"
"Khajiit, hahaha, as expected of my prized disciple." The Alliance Leader was clearly surprised, but he immediately followed it with a triumphant laugh.
"Cleric, you have utterly lost!"
"Do you know what that is? That is a Soul Eater, a legendary undead even more terrifying than a Death Knight."
The Alliance Leader didn't miss the opportunity to launch a verbal assault. He had already noticed that the Archangel Dominion's movements had slowed and the feathers on its wings were showing signs of dissipating.
"Khajiit?"
He hadn't expected the Alliance Leader to actually create a Soul Eater. From the sound of it, Khajiit was the one who had transformed.
If it was truly a Soul Eater, then basically everyone present would die.
In the game YGGDRASIL, you might only be hit by its instant death effect once every few hundred fights with a Soul Eater, so the threat wasn't that great. But in this Otherworld, the effect of its instant-death aura was continuous.
The stronger one was, the lower the probability of the check succeeding, but without resistance to instant death, once the check passed, death was certain.
Tang Zheng immediately controlled the Archangel Dominion, intending to hit the Soul Eater with a magic attack first.
"I won't let you succeed!"
The Alliance Leader, who had been suppressed the entire time, finally seized the initiative and moved to intercept him.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate!
Down at the center of the battlefield.
BOOM—
A brilliant white light suddenly materialized out of thin air.
Enri held an ordinary longsword in both hands. White streams of light flickered in her brown pupils. As if talking to herself, yet also as if beseeching something, she said:
"Everyone, please, lend me your strength!"
Everyone?
The Green Leaf Witch took another step back, subconsciously glancing around.
Voom— Voom—
A shining radiance, like a dense swarm of fireflies, floated up from the battlefield, converging from all directions onto the sword blade in Enri's hands.
The sudden scene made everyone pause.
This white light was not the power of a holy attribute, but rather a pure "positive" attribute that no one had ever felt before.
"Enri? What in the world is happening?" Tang Zheng was the most bewildered of all.
Voom—
The Stat Panel vibrated.
『Skill 「Heroic Moment」 discovered. Requires Special Job Class 【ΧΧΧΧΧ】. Current conditions... Failure...』
『Information acquisition failed...』
『Skill Information Acquired—「Heroic Moment」: Borrow the power of deceased comrades to temporarily gain a Physical Attack Stat Bonus, raising it to match the highest Physical Attack Stat among allies and enemies.』
『Skill 「Heroic Moment」 discovered. Requires Special Job Class 【Hero·Believer (Unique)】. Current Job not held. Skill acquisition failed. Requires 3 Skill Points.』
『No prerequisite High-Tier Job Class. Skill acquisition failed. Requires 6 Skill Points.』

『Consume 12 Skill Points to forcibly acquire this Special Job Class?』
『Job acquisition conditions not met. Upon acquiring the Special Job Class—Job degradation will occur.』
『Warning! This Job is a "Unique" Job.』
『Please choose whether to take this job?』
A dense stream of job information appeared on the Stat Panel.
"Enri... a Hero-type job..."
Tang Zheng was unusually silent. With just a single thought, he could obtain this power.
A completely independent "Hero" Special Job Class.
Through the information revealed on the Stat Panel, Tang Zheng could clearly perceive the power contained within this Special Job Class.
"A Hero, huh."
In a daze, Tang Zheng seemed to sense a certain will contained within the job. He suddenly understood why Enri had obtained this job, and he knew with absolute certainty.
By normal means, he would never be able to obtain this job.
A "Hero" was never about being born strong, but about will and choice, about the conviction to rise from weakness to strength!
This was a will and a choice that belonged to Enri alone!
"Haha."
Inside the Archangel Dominion, Tang Zheng suddenly began to laugh. Since transmigrating to this world, he had never felt such genuine happiness.
It was like walking down a desolate road, only to suddenly find someone who could keep pace with him.
"That power belongs to you, Enri," Tang Zheng said with a brilliant smile.
"No."
『Job acquisition failed!』
