Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

The reactions of other players were unknown to John at this moment.

They were not paying attention to the Chat Channel, instead focusing all their attention on the new talents the two girls had just obtained.

"Emma, why don't you tell us about your talent first?" John asked.

Emma nodded, then showed John and White Feather her new talent:

[Fire God's Anthem (Legendary): You have grasped the secrets of fire in combat with powerful enemies. As a proficient user of fire magic, you have comprehended a powerful method of controlling fire elements. With this talent, when using fire skills, you have a 15% chance to instantly recover skill CD and increase your fire spell crit rate by 15%.]

Upon seeing Emma's new talent, White Feather couldn't help but exclaim:

"That's amazing! Fire spells are known for their power, but they have long CD... this talent seems tailor-made for your 'Pyromancer' class!"

Emma also looked very satisfied: 

"Mmm, increasing the crit rate of fire spells by 15% is already quite good, and there's also a 15% chance to reset skill CD! Most of my skills are fire spells, so this talent suits me perfectly!"

John also thought Emma's talent was good and patted her head with a smile: 

"Good job, you're getting stronger and stronger!"

He then turned to White Feather and asked, 

"And what about you, White Feather?"

White Feather showed her own talent panel to the two of them.

This time, not only Emma, but even John was shocked.

[Devotees of the Holy Light (Divine): You have killed the evil Demon Wizard and earned the recognition of the Holy Light. The Silver Angel has personally blessed you with the Holy Light, granting you unprecedented power. With this talent, all your Holy Light skills cause double damage to Demons and Undead, your Holy Light protective skills increase defense attributes by 100%, and you have become a Devotee of the Silver Angel, holding great prestige within the Silver Church and a position second only to the Silver Pontiff. You can issue orders to NPCs below the Pontiff in the Silver Church.]

The attribute bonuses of this talent were good enough, but being a "Devotee of the Silver Angel" was incredibly useful.

The Silver Church was a massive organization with followers across the entire continent. 

The Silver Angel was an embodiment of love and salvation. 

Being her Devotee and holding authority second only to the Silver Pontiff... this talent had numerous hidden benefits! 

It would earn great respect from many NPCs and even allow for commanding many high-level NPCs in the Silver Church!

No wonder White Feather was completely stunned when she first saw this talent.

"I didn't realize there was a Divine Talent!" Emma exclaimed, 

"I thought Legendary Talent was already the best talent! Compared to that, Divine Talent is just too powerful!"

John nodded. 

He had long known about the existence of Divine Talents.

Rather...

All his talents now were Divine Talents. 

However, he hadn't expected that White Feather would also acquire a Divine Talent. 

He wasn't sure whether to attribute it to good luck or something else. 

After all, Divine Talent was no commonplace thing.

In the official introduction of the game 'Godslayer', talents were divided into gray(poor), white(common), green(uncommon), blue(Rare), purple(Epic), orange(Unique), and Golden(Legendary) Talent.

Above these was the Divine Talent, which the officials never explicitly mentioned. 

But now, only the three of them, John and the 2 girls, knew of the existence of "Divine Talent" among all players worldwide.

Among all talents, those above blue could be collectively referred to as "rare talents". 

These were few and far between. 

The odds of getting a purple talent were roughly one in a hundred thousand. 

For orange talents, it was about one in a million. 

The odds for a Legendary Talent were probably around one in ten million. 

Going by this calculation, the odds of obtaining a Divine Talent were at least one in a hundred million.

It had to be said that White Feather and Emma were very lucky in acquiring their talents this time. 

John said to White Feather, "Your Divine Talent is very useful. If used properly, it could have a powerful effect."

White Feather nodded and said, 

"So can I have higher-level NPCs in our church help me fight monsters? I know we have an NPC over level 100 in Silver City. He's the captain of the Silver Guard and is very powerful."

John chuckled and said, 

"Over level 100 is nothing. You can command anyone below the Silver Pontiff! I don't believe that the Silver Church has stood for so long with only a level100 NPC..."

White Feather was somewhat stunned. 

"Galewind, are you saying... I could command even higher level NPCs to serve me?"

"Of course," John affirmed, "as long as you can find them."

Having said that, John stretched lazily and looked at the time on the system interface. 

"It's getting late. Let's all log off and get some rest..."

The two girls nodded in agreement. 

They had gained so much today that they were too excited to feel tired. 

But it was nearing midnight and it was time to rest. 

The three said their goodbyes and logged off.

In John's home, he stepped out of his chamber, yawned, and glanced at the empty capsule next to him. 

It was meant for Emma, but since it was summer vacation from college, Emma had returned to her hometown and wasn't in the city.

This left John feeling a bit lonely. 

He had thought about inviting Sophia over for a drink at his place.

But considering how late it was, he decided against it.

John had logged off because he was tired, but once he returned to the real world, he found himself unable to sleep. 

He sat on the sofa, turned on the TV for background noise, and started browsing his phone. 

He didn't actually want to watch TV, he just felt too lonely in the quiet house and needed some noise to create the illusion of company.

After browsing the game forum for a while, John suddenly came across an interesting post:

"Seeking experts who can help us defeat 'Wolf Guild'! Anyone who can help us defeat Wolf Guild will be rewarded with 500 Gold Coins!"

Now, as the game has been running for some time, Gold Coins are not as valuable as they were in the beginning. 

However, 500 Gold Coins is still no small amount. 

To be willing to pay so much just to defeat another guild?

John became interested in the post and clicked on it. 

He wasn't short of the 500 Gold Coins. 

Over the past few months, he had made a fortune selling Gold Coins in the game and still had countless more in his game account.

Money, to him now, was just a number.

He could easily amass a large amount whenever he wanted. He clicked on the post purely out of curiosity. However, upon opening the post, John realized that the ID of the person who posted it seemed very familiar...

He closed his eyes and tried to recall.

"'Riverlo', yes, that's him!"

John opened his eyes. 

He remembered meeting a player named "Riverlo" in a previous game. 

This player was very friendly. 

At the time, John was a newbie and Riverlo was the guild leader of a major guild. 

They had a dispute over a wild boss by chance.

Riverlo didn't use his status to bully John, but instead reasoned with him, stating that he discovered the boss first. 

However, John ignored him, insisting the boss belonged to him.

At that time, Riverlo's subordinates, who were all higher level than John, were about to gang up on him. 

Riverlo, however, stopped them and said to John, "If you really want it, you can have it." 

Then, he led his subordinates away.

From that point on, they became acquainted. 

In the previous game, Riverlo had helped John a lot and likewise, when John became powerful, he helped Riverlo quite a bit in return. 

The days when they leveled up and fought bosses together were still fresh in John's mind.

"How nostalgic, those carefree days when I played the game just for the sake of playing. Those were good times," 

John mused as he reclined on the sofa, "I wonder if this Riverlo is the same one I know."

He lifted his phone and began to read the post...
