[On the Battlefield]
Just as Divine Advent Seraph, Siya, cast a healing spell on one of the God Clan guards, Fifth Prince Changge assumed that Siya was simply too kind to attack her own people.
But the next second, a series of blood-red damage numbers suddenly popped up above the guard's head.
-90,811!
-90,811!
-90,811!
The SSS-rank Poison Healer skill that Lin Mo had specially built for Siya, Corrosion · Poison Blood Art, restored the target for 550% of magic attack.
At first glance, it looked like a life-saving healing spell.
But in reality, it was a deadly poisonous heal.
For the next five seconds, the target would take damage equal to 30% of the healing amount every second, and would be unable to recover HP during that time.
A few seconds later, the level 75 guard's HP bar was emptied.
The other guards immediately launched attacks on Siya.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Long spears thrust toward her.
Surrounded from all sides, Siya had nowhere to dodge.
-10,368!
-10,999!
-10,972!
The level 75 guards had extremely high attack power.
Even with a full set of tier 5 gold equipment, Siya couldn't withstand being surrounded by them.
After all, Siya's role was support, not a tank like Strong-Maned Pig.
If Strong-Maned Pig were standing here instead, these guards could stab him for two and a half hours without taking away a single point of his HP.
They'd end up getting themselves killed instead.
Siya's HP bar instantly dropped by more than half.
But not only was Siya herself completely calm, even Lin Mo, watching from outside, wasn't worried in the slightest.
Because as the Heart of Eternity in Siya's slender hand began to rotate, she cast another spell.
SSS-Rank Punishment · Angel's Judgment!
Whoosh!
A golden barrier unfolded high in the air.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Every 0.5 seconds, a beam of golden light shot down from the barrier, continuously attacking the surrounding guards.
While dealing repeated damage, green healing numbers rose above Siya's head.
+35,774!
+35,774!
+35,774!
The exclusive effect of the exclusive equipment Heart of Eternity restored HP equal to 30% of the user's attack power to herself or an ally with every attack.
The effect of Punishment · Angel's Judgment restored HP equal to 40% of attack power to herself or an ally every time it dealt damage.
Combined together, along with Lin Mo's gold title Syncronised, which increased healing done by support pets by 30%, every instance of Siya's damage restored an enormous amount of HP to herself.
In an instant, all the HP Siya had just lost was fully restored.
The guards' attacks were fierce.
Their damage wasn't low either.
But Siya was like a walking fountain.
As she continuously attacked the guards with SSS-rank offensive skills like Backlash · Continuous Healing and Blood Devour · Life Sacrifice, five-digit healing numbers almost never stopped appearing above her head.
Even while being surrounded by several guards at once, her HP bar always stayed safely above seventy percent.
On top of that, Siya had a base attack power of 42,336.
With the 23.4% attack boost from the Eye of Eternity (including the title's 30% enhancement), her attack power reached as high as 52,243.
The damage she dealt was correspondingly enormous.
So from the perspectives of Lin Mo, Ning Xi, and Fifth Prince Changge, Siya not only maintained constant massive healing, her damage output was also explosive.
Since all of Siya's learned skills dealt continuous multi-hit damage, each individual hit wasn't very high, generally staying around thirty to forty thousand damage.
But just like Ah Li, thanks to her high attack frequency, the HP bars of the surrounding guards dropped rapidly.
Before long, without any help from Lin Mo or Ning Xi, the level 70 Siya defeated all eight level 75 God Clan guards by herself.
At that moment, Fifth Prince Changge looked at Siya with admiration.
"I never imagined you've become this strong."
Siya looked at Changge and asked, "Fifth Brother, may I enter the Divine Capital and retrieve the Holy Water now?"
Fifth Prince Changge nodded, "Come with me."
After saying that, Changge turned and walked into the city.
Siya looked back at her master, Lin Mo.
"Go. We'll wait for you outside."
With her master's permission, Siya quietly followed Changge into the Divine Capital.
Because entry into the Divine Capital required at least a Platinum rank, Lin Mo and Ning Xi could only wait outside the city.
Thinking back to how Divine Advent Seraph, Siya, had effortlessly defeated eight level 75 God Clan guards by herself, Ning Xi couldn't help saying, "Brother Lin Mo, it looks like the direction you chose for Siya was the right one."
Lin Mo wasn't modest at all.
"At this stage, not even a single player on Inferno City's Heavenly Ranking could defeat eight level 75 monsters alone."
"Not to mention that Siya's role is supposed to be support."
Moreover, even though her equipment and skills were already maxed out for the current stage, Siya still had plenty of room to grow.
The Priest class actually had pure offensive skills.
And those offensive Priest skills weren't any weaker than the damage skills of other DPS classes.
It was just that, for now, Lin Mo didn't dare go all-in on damage because it wasn't stable enough, so when choosing Siya's skills, he still kept some healing abilities.
"Right now, only the Heart of Eternity has an attack-to-heal effect, and it only restores 30% of attack power each time."
"If it isn't combined with the healing built into her skills, her overall healing won't be enough."
Just like earlier, when facing the attacks of all eight guards at once, if she had relied only on the Heart of Eternity's healing, Siya definitely wouldn't have been able to recover enough HP to withstand their damage.
"The Heart of Eternity's healing effect increases with the quality of the bonded equipment. Right now it's only tier 5, so the healing is only 30%."
"When the bonded equipment reaches tier 8, tier 10, or tier 15 later on, the healing effect will become even stronger."
"Also, we still don't know what exclusive effects the other six pieces of the Eternal Set have. If they also provide healing effects, then once the exclusive equipment's healing capability is high enough, Siya's build can be changed again."
"She can completely abandon healing and go with a pure damage build."
That would be a true Poison Healer.
"As expected of a divine pet from one of Divine Oracle's Supreme Races, with the royal bloodline of the God Clan," Ning Xi exclaimed, "Siya's potential is so high."
But Lin Mo knew something else.
For now, Divine Oracle had not yet fully descended, so Divine Advent Seraph Siya's true divine power had yet to reveal itself.
Once Divine Oracle truly descended, player death would become real death, with no resurrection.
At that time, even ordinary players would have to be extremely cautious just to hunt monsters in the wild.
Even the leaders of major guilds wouldn't dare enter high-difficulty dungeons or secret realms recklessly.
Just like in his previous life, when Ming Yuexin wanted to kill the Tier-17 Boss, Vampire Emperor Ainoga'e, she first fed it one thousand players to put it into a satiated state.
Only after being absolutely certain there was no risk to herself did she dare challenge the Boss.
When that time came, not to mention anything else, just by selling Siya's resurrection and Immortality Marks, Lin Mo could make a fortune from those major guilds.
So Divine Advent Seraph, Siya, wasn't just one of Lin Mo's strongest combat forces.
She was also an enormous source of wealth.
The only problem was that the master-servant contract between Siya and Lin Mo was only temporary.
If the S-rank hidden quest Heart Knot failed, Siya would disappear forever.
And Lin Mo became even more determined.
"I have to complete the S-rank hidden quest Heart Knot and make Siya stay permanently."
Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.
The God Clan guards stationed at the Divine Capital's gate seemed to have received some urgent news.
"This is bad! Something's happened inside the city!"
"Enemies have infiltrated!"
"His Highness the Fifth Prince and Her Highness the Seventh Princess are in danger! Hurry and reinforce them!"
With that, the guards rushed toward the Divine Capital in a panic.
