Despair appeared on the demonic phantom's face.
It didn't expect Kieran's speed to be so fast.
As if it didn't expect Kieran to notice it was a fake.
However, the mirage wouldn't sit still and wait for its death.
"You think you've won?"
The demi-evil spirit screamed shrilly, charging over with its burning body.
Kieran dodged the pouncing attack easily.
At the same time, [Interrogator Knife] was swung out.
Souuu!
The dagger was like a cold glare under the moonlight under the blazing flames, slicing through the mirage. An uncontrollable cry of pain came from the mirage's mouth.
Amidst the painful cry, the cold glare returned and sliced through its body.
[Interrogator Knife] was like a swift shuttling through the storm in Kieran's hand.
It wasn't just fast, it was nimble as well.
Grand Master Level [Sharp Weapon, Dagger] and Grand Master Level [Evading] allowed Kieran to ensure that no matter how the demonic spirit tried to dodge or attack, it would not be able to escape the fate of being stabbed by the dagger and missing its attack.
Once, twice, thrice …
When Kieran's right arm that was holding [Interrogator Knife] created a series of afterimages, the mirage's body, which was already fading due to the explosion and blazing flames, quickly crumbled.
Very quickly, it turned into a misty appearance.
"I want you to die with me!"
The mirage suddenly stopped its attack.
A violent energy wave appeared on the mirage's body.
However, when [Interrogator Knife] swiftly sliced through its body a few more times, the mirage's aura froze.
Pak!
Like a balloon bursting, the phantom of the demi-demon exploded just like that.
The dense negative energy swiftly faded away.
A white dazzling light fell from the sky.
It wasn't a free fall but it was flying towards Sister Reid's statue.
However, the broken statue couldn't withstand the light.
The moment the speck of light touched the statue, the speck of light turned into 10,000 specks, filling up the small secret chamber.
Kieran, who was in the secret chamber, was naturally affected by these light spots.
Before Kieran could react, the speck of light melted like a snowflake the moment it touched him.
However, it did not fall to the ground like a snowflake. Instead, it fused into Kieran's body!
A peculiar warmth immediately filled Kieran's body!
Kieran, who had been maintaining the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art], suddenly realized the speed of the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] had increased.
"Could it be?"
The [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] that sped up in his body made Kieran's heart skip a beat.
Then, he chased after these light spots like a madman.
Each time he touched one, as the light spots fused into his body, the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]'s speed would increase by a notch.
When half of the light spots were captured by Kieran and fused into his body, the system notification popped up.
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art has fused with the corresponding strength …]
[Fusion successful, limit broken, -1 debuff removed …]
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art recovered to Musou level …]
…
Fuuu!
An explosive airflow appeared right away, spreading out in all directions with Kieran as the center, bringing up a roar comparable to a hurricane in the small secret chamber.
Dawn Force appeared on Kieran's hands and body as he breathed.
He didn't need to prepare like before, all he had to do was think about it and Dawn Force would appear.
It felt like success when the conditions were right.
No!
It felt even more natural than this!
After being sealed once, Dawn Force appeared again and it was extremely lively, it made Kieran feel like Dawn Force had become his own arm.
It wasn't an illusion, it was real.
[Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]'s third effect had popped up in the special effect tab, informing Kieran of its existence.
[Dawn Sword: When you can truly utilize Dawn Force, it means you are a true Dawn Knight, even though the way you use it is very special. Charge for 3 seconds, consume 600 Stamina, fire out a 15-meter long light sword with Extreme attack, cooldown: none]
…
Following the notification, the corresponding knowledge started to appear in Kieran's mind. The warm energy that represented [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] in his body started to flow faster.
Once again, Kieran's familiar knowledge started to synchronize with his body.
However, this time around, it was different. Following the synchronization, Dawn Force was spinning rapidly, as though it formed a whirlpool in his body.
The light spots that were still lingering in the secret room were being sucked and dragged into Kieran's body.
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art, fused with the corresponding strength …]
[Through training, Musou level Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, leveling up cost decreased by 1,000 points …]
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, leveling up cost decreased by 1,000 points …]
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, leveling up cost decreased by 1,000 points …]
…
It felt like the notification was spamming his screen.
The notifications kept popping up in Kieran's vision.
After the last light spot was absorbed by Kieran, he originally needed 300,000 Points and 30 Golden Skill Points to level up to Transcendence level [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] but now, he was left with 250,000 Points and 25 Golden Skill Points.
In simple words, the wave of light spot was worth 50,000 Points and 5 Golden Skill Points. If the unsealing part was included, it would be 100,000 Points and 10 Golden Skill Points.
"This is the biggest reward!"
Kieran gasped and looked at the broken [Sister Reid Statue] with astonishment.
The system's label showed that the statue was damaged and had lost its effect but Kieran's heart was enlightened.
"Damien, the Twenty Hounds, must have noticed the demonic mirage inside Sister Reid Statue, that's why he snuck into St. Reid Hospital. From the very beginning, Damien's goal was the demonic mirage inside the statue. Whether it was researching the Marulyn Church or preparing the fake Gannett, it was all for the sake of fishing out the demonic mirage!
Damien wasn't after the Marulyn Church's relic at all. No one even thought the Marulyn Church would have any relic. There wasn't a single weapon or armor that could be taken out from the place. It was obvious that the last Friar Master purposely left it that way because without any weapon or armor that was familiar to the mystics back then, people would guess that the Marulyn Church had a backup plan. That's why they kept the secret scrolls and consumables here.
But … "
"A Legendary item that could 'protect' buildings and people, why would it give birth to something similar to a demonic mirage?"
Kieran squinted his eyes.
Guesses popped up in his heart.
Though, he needed more evidence to verify his guesses.
Apparently, it wasn't possible in this place.
Turning around, Kieran went through the exit that appeared under the statue.
