When choosing between the two evolution paths, [Divine Descent · Seraph] and [Divine Descent · Fallen Angel], Lin Mo had specifically compared them.
The Divine Descent Seraph's talent possessed the abilities of resurrection, death immunity, and control immunity.
The Divine Descent Fallen Angel's talent effects were exactly the opposite. Enemies hit by Divine Descent · Fallen Angel skills cannot trigger resurrection for 12 hours after death (before the Divine Oracle descends, they must wait for the effect to disappear before reviving at the resurrection spring; after the Divine Oracle descends, they are directly judged dead even if they possess resurrection abilities).
Enemies hit by Divine Descent · Fallen Angel skills cannot trigger death immunity for 12 hours.
The Divine Descent Fallen Angel itself, along with all allied units within a 50-yard radius, will randomly inflict one control effect on enemies for 0.5 seconds whenever they attack an enemy or are attacked.
Clearly, the Dark Priest was the predecessor of the Divine Descent Fallen Angel and had inherited its third talent ability. That was why whenever Black Demons were attacked by players, or whenever they attacked players, they would randomly inflict a hard control effect lasting 0.5 seconds.
However, the Divine Descent Seraph completely countered the Dark Priest.
With it around, there was no need to fear being controlled.
Of course, equipment alone wasn't enough.
Lin Mo first casually gave the Divine Descent Seraph two skills.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Looking at the Divine Descent Seraph, Lin Mo said, "I didn't have time to prepare much for you. Just this set of Tier 4 gold equipment and two SSS-rank skills. Make do with them for now."
Lin Mo sounded calm, but to Qin Feng, Ling Xiao, and Xia Wanwan beside him, it was like a storm.
Ling Xiao: "Tier 4 gold equipment, SSS-rank skills..."
Xia Wanwan: "Didn't have time to prepare much..."
Qin Feng: "Make do with them?"
"Is that something a human would say?"
At this point, everything was ready.
The Divine Descent Seraph had learned and could immediately be put into battle.
Just then, Ning Xi thought of a problem, "This Divine Tomb dungeon is enormous. Brother Lin Mo, if we keep searching blindly like this, it'll be hard to find Princess Siya, right?"
This was indeed a major problem.
Without any clues, they might not be able to find the Seventh Princess of the God Clan, Siya, even within the dungeon's two-hour time limit.
At that moment, Lin Mo suddenly had an idea.
He looked at the Divine Descent Seraph beside him and asked, "Can you take me to Princess Siya?"
The Divine Descent Seraph said nothing. It simply nodded at Lin Mo, its master.
Then it started walking toward the front-right direction.
Lin Mo was immediately delighted.
'Just as I expected.'
'Members of the God Clan can sense each other's presence.'
Especially this Divine Descent Seraph, which had evolved from a Dark Priest and had once served as one of Princess Siya's divine guards.
So, with the Divine Descent Seraph leading the way, the group followed it forward.
Along the way, whenever they encountered Black Demon dungeon monsters again, Lin Mo no longer used SSS-rank magic scrolls to clear them.
After all, he had already wiped out all the monsters across a large area nearby earlier with one Fatal · Spatial Strangulation.
Any monsters they encountered now had only recently respawned.
There was no guarantee many monsters had spawned nearby.
If he used an SSS-rank magic scroll and only killed a dozen monsters, it would be a complete waste.
Besides, the dungeon mission had already been completed. Finding Princess Siya was the priority. Farming treasure chests from dungeon monsters wasn't that urgent.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A Dark Priest appeared ahead, along with ten Black Demons.
The Dark Priest waved its staff and released an aura.
The next moment, all the Black Demons locked onto Lin Mo and the Seraph at the front and launched ranged attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of huge mouths spat out blazing fireballs.
"Boss, watch out!"
As a Magic Knight, Ling Xiao immediately stepped in front of Lin Mo and used his body as a shield.
Dozens of fireballs slammed into the shield in his hand.
-15326!
-14698!
-15555!
The damage of level 65 Black Demons was still too high.
Ling Xiao had only just reached level 60. There was a five-level gap between them.
Especially since he had always focused on stacking HP to match his talent, Mutual Destruction. His Defense wasn't very high.
Even so, a concentrated attack from ten Black Demons was enough to instantly kill almost any level-60 Knight player, yet it only removed one-third of Ling Xiao's HP.
Even Lin Mo was surprised.
He remembered that two days ago, when Ling Xiao had used his talent to blow up Blood Emperor Bell, the third hall boss of Yama Hall, he had only a little over 300,000 HP.
In just two days, through his own efforts and continuous monster farming to strengthen the passive HP bonus from his S-rank [Eternal Life], his HP had already shot up to 500,000.
Now that Lin Mo had obtained the Divine Descent Seraph, 'With the Seraph's death immunity and resurrection, before the Divine Oracle descends, Ling Xiao can theoretically achieve three explosions.'
'One explosion is 500,000 damage. Three explosions would already be enough to kill a Tier 4 boss around level 50.'
And obviously, Ling Xiao still had enormous room to grow.
Because all the HP-boosting passive skills on him were still only C-rank, D-rank, or even E-rank.
Five hundred thousand was only the beginning of his path toward becoming a "nuclear bomb".
Whoosh!
The Divine Descent Seraph waved its staff, and a beam of golden light descended onto Ling Xiao.
+92820!
Most of the HP Ling Xiao had just lost was instantly restored.
The healing amount, approaching six digits, left Xia Wanwan and Qin Feng staring in shock.
"What terrifying healing."
"Holy crap! That's more HP than I even have!"
Lin Mo, however, spoke to Ling Xiao in a reproachful tone.
"Don't be so reckless next time. Your job isn't to block damage for me."
"You're my trump card."
Ling Xiao knew that everything he had today was because of Lin Mo.
He replied firmly, "If Boss is in danger, then my duty is to protect Boss."
Back to the matter at hand.
Under the effect of the Divine Descent Seraph's Ancestral-grade talent, [Divine Descent], although Ling Xiao should have been controlled after being attacked by the Black Demons, he was immune to all control effects.
At the same time, under Lin Mo's mental command, the Divine Descent Seraph waved its staff.
[Ding~ Divine Descent · Seraph has used Light · Holy Light Protection on you. For 8 seconds, your Attack +6630! Attack Speed +30%! Armor Penetration +30%!]
As the effects of the SSS-rank Holy Light Protection enveloped him, Lin Mo simultaneously activated the Phantom World · Thunder Set skill: Thunderous Might!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lightning instantly burst from his entire body.
The next moment, Lin Mo locked onto the Black Demons ahead.
He raised Phantom World · Thunder's Wrath.
And opened with the Soul Archer's SSS-rank ultimate, World-Destroying · Storm Arrow Rain!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Arrows filled the sky like a rainstorm and poured down, engulfing all the Black Demons.
-238726 (Critical)!
-234452 (Critical)!
-236666 (Critical)!
In an instant, all ten Black Demons and the Dark Priest leading them were wiped out.
