Mystical runes started to appear on the fiery wings one after another.
It was getting faster and faster.
When the runes overlapped on top of the wings, a blazing blast wave was blasted out.
[Flame Blast II]!
Not only was the level of the flames judged to be Extreme, but the impact was also judged to be Extreme. The blast wave crashed onto the giant wave right away.
A gap was formed on the giant wave caused by the tsunami.
Because of the incompatible fire and water, the gap was getting bigger by the second.
Steam filled the whole island, blocking everyone's sight. Even though they couldn't see clearly, everyone knew the giant wave had yet to fall. They … They …
They were saved!
The feeling of surviving a calamity made some of them cheer out loud.
Schmidt didn't cheer out loud but he clenched his fist hard, looking much more excited than the others.
Although he was encouraging the others before this, he didn't have any confidence in his heart until Kieran appeared in mid-air.
"Hope … is here!"
Schmidt muttered softly.
Nicil and the rest of the higher ranks of the Sanctuary were looking at the devil figure in mid-air with his fiery wings fully opened.
They were saved by a devil descendant?
Such a bizarre fact filled their hearts with indescribable thoughts.
However, what shocked them more was that the tsunami that even Smulder couldn't stop was stopped by Kieran!
Was Kieran really going to be stronger than Smulder?
Such thoughts popped up in some of their hearts, affecting their perception of Kieran in the past.
Though, most of them were just expressing their gratitude.
After the initial shock and disbelief, some of the Sanctuary members knew about Kieran's true identity. They stood up solemnly and bowed at the rapidly descending devil Kieran with the ancient etiquette.
...
Amidst the mist, Kieran heaved a sigh of relief after he successfully stopped the tsunami with the help of the mutated cyclops giant.
The tsunami that was caused by the explosion was much more violent than he had expected.
Even with the island's force field barrier and Smulder's Sanctuary Force weakening it, Kieran still couldn't take it.
Kieran controlled [Flame Blast II], and the moment the [Flame Blast II] collided with the tidal wave, he could clearly feel that although the [Flame Blast II] had created a gap, its energy was weakening by the second.
If he didn't ask the mutated cyclops to help him before he made his move, he wouldn't have ended up any better than Smulder.
To Kieran's surprise, the mutated cyclops' control over the water far exceeded his imagination.
Although he had seen the other party's method of absorbing seawater and attacking with water balls, he was still shocked when he sensed through his spirit that the other party had dived into the sea and created a reverse whirlpool to reduce the power of the tsunami.
However, Kieran did not forget his goal.
Kill Smulder!
As for him saving the island where the Templars were?
That was because Schmidt was still on the island.
Otherwise, Kieran would have made a move.
Fuuu!
Kieran extended his blazing wings and dashed towards the unconscious Smulder. The beheader sword in his hand was ready to be swung out.
However, right at that moment, Kieran saw the Sanctuary members bowing and thanking him.
He frowned in his heart.
However, Kieran had no plans to stop.
Kieran was never a person who cared about others' opinions.
In simple words, Kieran would never change himself because of others' opinions. From Kieran's point of view, those who changed themselves because of others' opinions were the dumbest.
Kieran wasn't a Union coin, he couldn't make everyone like him.
The beheader sword was burning fiercely.
However, it stopped at the next moment.
The Holy Knight Force started to spread in Kieran's heart.
Through the Holy Knight's power, Kieran clearly felt the energy of gratitude and joy. It even contained the changes of [Saint Thorns] under the influence of the energy.
Since it was related to [Fusion Heart], Kieran had to pay attention to it.
He stopped the slash that was about to be swung out.
He quietly felt the changes.
[Saint Thorns increased slightly …]
[Saint Thorns: If you did not choose Transform Devil II or Summon Beast II, when you come across holy energy, you can reduce 26% damage. When the damage received (regardless of holy energy) reaches Average, Strong and Powerful level, you can choose to activate a different level of Halo of Thorns to reflect the damage received by 6%, 11% and 26% respectively. You will also be healed with Light, Medium and Heavy wounds respectively. When you choose Transform Devil II or Summon Beast II, Saint Thorns effect will temporarily disappear]
...
It was just a 1% change yet it appeared in Kieran's vision.
It didn't disappoint Kieran though.
This was because the changes were still ongoing.
[Saint Thorns increased slightly …]
[Saint Thorns increased slightly …]
...
It was slow but clear.
The change in quantity would lead to a change in quality.
Kieran glanced over the Sanctuary members that joined in to thank him. After a slight hesitation, the beheader sword in his hand turned into a ball of flame and vanished into thin air.
Compared to killing Smulder, the leveling up of [Fusion Heart, Saint Thorns] was more important to Kieran.
[Saint Thorns] would be the only skill he could bring out when he came across Sanctuary Force.
Kieran kept in mind that he wasn't a native of this dungeon world!
As the dungeon entries increased, the difficulty increased as well. Kieran had no idea what kind of enemies he would run into in the future.
However, there was one thing Kieran was sure about. Should he run into any enemies with Sanctuary Force, they would be stronger than Smulder.
It was an undeniable fact.
Kieran couldn't guarantee that he would have a better way to overcome his weaknesses in the future.
Therefore, [Saint Thorns] became extra important to him.
After a slight thought, Kieran made up his mind.
After all, one of them might be a decent reward in front of him but the other one would be a long-term reward with a high guarantee.
As long as Kieran's brain wasn't damaged, he would know which one to choose.
The killing intent towards Smulder in his heart vanished.
The Holy Knight's Force instantly became more lively.
Although the notifications were getting slower, Kieran could feel that it was a kind of energy accumulation.
In order to accelerate the accumulation, Kieran deactivated [Transform Devil II].
Fuuu!
The magma body of the devil turned into a rock and was blown away by the wind.
Kieran who had returned to his human form had spots of white glow around his body.
It was weak.
But it was real.
"Sanctuary Force!"
Many of the higher ranks of the Sanctuary almost bit their own tongues off when they saw the scene.
However, the thing that truly astonished them had just happened.
A metallic white light appeared with the help of the Sanctuary Force. It looked like the edge of a blade or the edge of a sword, one after another.
There were a total of four of them.
They went around Kieran's head and feet and formed four circles.
"Halo of Thorns!"
"Hugh!"
The higher ranks of the Sanctuary shouted out loud.
Then, their gazes towards Kieran were filled with excitement, joy and a sense of strangeness. Every single one of them had their own guesses on their faces.
