Chapter 604: Chapter 255: Elemental Mantra, Dragon Knight’s Mount

Inside the room, a figure stood with his back to Wayne, slowly turning around as the door closed.

The man was tall and broad-shouldered with a narrow waist, draped in a green robe, with thick golden short hair. His facial contours were elegant, his eyes deep and bright, exuding determination and confidence.

A very decent face, unlike the Pope’s full benevolence and amiability, the man did not radiate any unique charisma. His presence was like a spring, keeping noise at bay and restoring tranquility and beauty.

The Naturalist Knight, Mula.

"Mr. Mula, I am Wayne Lando," Wayne said, standing obediently.

Although the man before him did not exude an extraordinarily powerful aura, being a God-chosen Knight and of an indeterminate age, it was enough to illustrate the mystery and strength of the other party.

Considering the identities of the people outside the door—the Pope, the Great Prophet, the Divine Oracle High Priest—all the high-ranking officials of the Church were almost entirely gathered, only fit to wait outside, demonstrating how exaggerated the martial force of this God-chosen Knight was.

According to what Saina said, Mula was one of the strongest humans on the God-chosen Continent, representing the highest military might of the Naturalism Church.

His hobby is playing cards!

"Hello, Wayne, I’ve heard about you from Gavin, he thinks very highly of you," Mula said straightforwardly, sizing up this excellent junior of the Church and nodding, "Latent magic power, your talent is even more outstanding than Gavin described. He has held back."

"Mr. Mula, do I need to undergo an assessment? I have prepared a lot for today and I hope..."

"There’s no need to be so formal, loosen up."

Mula patted Wayne on the shoulder, approvingly saying, "Strong muscles, good looks, young and polite—the Goddess will like you."

Wayne: "..."

That sounded odd. Are we talking about knights here?

Wayne gave a shy smile, growing even more restrained.

"There’s nothing much to assess. If you could pass the Holy Maiden candidate’s assessment, the necessary assessments are pretty much covered already. Having Gavin to vouch for you, I trust he won’t be wrong."

Mula was incredibly straightforward, seeing that Wayne was still tense, he said cheerfully, "I won’t hide it from you, I’m in a hurry and need to leave tonight. Let’s not mince words, let’s get straight to the point—it works or ... let’s just be friends."

Straightforward!

Wayne nodded inwardly, preferring this kind of straightforwardness—going straight to the point without beating around the bush.

If the Church’s higher-ups were even one-tenth as straightforward as Mula, the Naturalism Church would have long dominated the Life Alliance, scoring a double kill against death and darkness.

With a bit more courage, pushing the Heavenly Father’s Court out of the market wouldn’t be impossible.

Mula waved his hand into the void, pulling out a white broadsword of ancient design. It was a two-handed sword with grooves on both sides of the blade, and a cold light glinting from the edge.

Just by looking at its design, this sword was very understated, with nothing peculiar about it. In terms of aesthetic appeal, it fell far short of Shadowmare and Twilight Deadlock.

"The sword’s name is Elemental Mantra, bestowed by the Goddess. Grab the hilt and try to sense her power," Mula said.

Mula waved his hand to set up a barrier, blocking the perception of those outside the room, and carefully handed the Elemental Mantra to Wayne, who gingerly accepted it, his heartbeat quickening, fearing any misfortune.

The Naturalist Knight, the Pope, the Great Prophet, the Vice Commander of the Knight Order...

Under such an onslaught of experts, and the location being the Naturalism Church Headquarters, even with Saina fighting to the death to protect him, it would be difficult to guarantee his safe escape.

The Book of Greed, it’s all on you now!

Wayne was betting everything on The Book of Greed, which had brought him everything; he hoped it wouldn’t disappoint him this time either.

The Book of Greed did not move.

Wayne, holding the hilt, swung it a couple of times, looking at Mula in confusion, "Mr. Mula, I don’t feel the power of the Elemental Mantra. Does that mean I’ve failed the assessment?"

"No, the Elemental Mantra harbors divine power, she is very powerful. I was worried about you getting hurt, so I did not lift the seal," Mula said seriously, preparing to unveil the seal and gradually release the power of the Elemental Mantra.

If Wayne could not withstand it, he must speak up right away, not to joke with his own life.

"Mr. Mula, I am ready," Wayne said.

"Be careful..."

Mula locked his gaze on Wayne, his pupils radiating green light, unsealing the Elemental Mantra, wishing her to be kind to the boy before him.

Clang!

The sound of the sword rang out, and the Elemental Mantra burst forth with its edge. A powerful life force swept through Wayne’s entire body from his arm.

The magic power within Wayne instantly turned green, calmly accepting the power injected by the Elemental Mantra. Mula watched, his cautious and serious expression revealing a trace of joy.

It didn’t appear to be problematic; Mula could increase the strength.

Gradually, Mula loosened his control over the Elemental Mantra, allowing the divine power to spread more thoroughly. Wayne accepted it completely, showing no signs of discomfort.

The process was so smooth that Mula was dumbfounded, his gaze toward Wayne turning exceedingly peculiar, spontaneously asking, "Wayne, do you possess some kind of bloodline?"

Divine Blood, it must be Divine Blood!

Heaven forbid it’s just ordinary, that’d be too bruising to my ego.

"Protogenos Bloodline!"

Wayne said proudly, then added sheepishly, "Teacher Saina said it’s very important and not to tell others. So, when participating in the Holy Maiden selection, I didn’t include it in the data, and Vice Commander Gavin is also unaware."

"Protogenos Bloodline, the offspring of gods..."

Mula, with a touch of envy, nodded in acknowledgment, "She’s right, you’re too outstanding; some secrets shouldn’t be spoken aloud."

Two minutes later, Mula released all control, and Wayne fully grasped the Elemental Mantra. A powerful life force overflowed from him, reshaping a set of fitted armor that hugged his physique.
