Chapter 60: The Fla of Legacy in the Ashes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hero’s Class.
Even though Joshua had heard about it before, he could not help but frown.
[Chaos Guardian]. As the na suggested, it should be under the sa category of the Class as the [Holy Light’s Guard] from the Sacred Land in the distant south and the [Balance Adjudicator] from the West Mountain’s Imperial Palace. Although it’s rare, it was not rare to the point that people could only hope to et one but not asked to see one. As for the Sacred Warriors that serve the gods, they were deed to be half of the Class. However, they were not deed to be that extre.
The only thing that really mattered would be this Hero Class.
Just like how humans were rated and the items were good and bad, Class also had weak ones and powerful ones.
People like the farrs and civil soldiers were known as the ordinary [Civilian Class]. anwhile, warriors that received training before, thieves that excelled in picking locks and wanderers that wandered across distant lands were known as [Official Classes]. Mages, priests, and others that wield magic were different. Because they required gifts given by the gods in order to use magic, they were rare. So they were born as [Elite Class].
Each Class could undergo improvent in tier and change their Class. Civilian soldiers could turn into warriors or rcenaries. If they were very confident that they had gifts given by the gods, they could choose to beco a mage. People are free to choose in Continental War. They could just pick whichever that suited their interest. anwhile, the five Classes Civilian, Official, Elite, Excellent, and Extraordinary would be the improvent process that a normal Class would need to go through.
However, so special Class like mages could only be he obtained through having gifts from gods and having the Legacy ability. For instance, [The Chosen] and the [Hero Class] could only be obtained in such a way.
For a person who was naturally born with the ability to control fire, it would not matter at all which Class would the person chose. That person would be different from the others. That person could even enhance his own ability and transcend into a much powerful being. That would be [The Chosen]. anwhile, [Hero Class] was different from it. [Hero Class] need not have gifts. It only needs so sort of Legacy Item or Keepsake that carries power.
Every Hero Class would need one Legacy item or Keepsake and sufficient gifts in order to embrace the Class. A [Warrior] needed to have a Demon Slayer sword. An [Earthshaker] needed an earth totem. So obviously, Joshua would need [The Sealed Guardian’s Azurite] to beco the Chaos Guardian.
Opening up his right palm, Joshua looked at the green gemstone and sighed.
In his previous life, he had at least done ten complicated quests that were linked. He even had to take out a bunch of high-level monsters to gather all the required materials before he could acquire the chance to beco a [Rune Swordsman]. By then, only he could understand the supremacy of being one.
As for the current situation, a perfect chance of acquiring a Hero Class was presented nicely right in front of him.
“System, identify.”
Joshua seldom used the function of the system, not even when he was facing a powerful Gold-tier enemy. Well, it was not because he tends to reject doing things that he could not master, it was only because his experience was so rich that he already knew most of the solutions to all his problems he faced. Furthermore, he was never gotten used to using the system function even in his previous life when he was forrly the legendary warrior. As such, the warrior had forgotten about the feature of the system that he could use.
However, now that he just encountered sothing he had never seen or even heard before, he had no choice but to use that function.
[… Identifying the item… The origin knowledge succeeded in identification. Special item knowledge identification failed. Historical knowledge identification succeeded. You’ve acquired a ssage about the Class.]
[Identification Report: Origin Item—The Sealed Guardian’s Azurite]
[Origin: As the sages said, even if a person has sunk deep into the abyss of eternal chaos, the initial spark would still exist. Perhaps it could not burn, but it could potentially carry the order of the power.]
[Special Item: As a fla that has yet to ignite, the Azurite contains…]
[History: Thousands of years ago, the sages had found an Azurite buried deep in the abyss. It was then given to the third sage, granting him the capability to calm the tide of chaos, sealing the entrance to the abyss. Ever since the Fallen War, the Azurite had vanished from the world of n. However, the Legacy of the Chaos Guardian continued on silently.]
[The Azurite contains a great order of power, but the power within it cannot be derived by conventional techniques.]
[Class ssage: Blood of Chaos, the source of fla ignited.]
Joshua turned his head around and looked at Ying without saying a word—Ever since the Divine Armant entered the graveyard, she had been at a loss. Thinking back, the warrior could not help to think that what he was doing was not considerate enough. After all, there were too many remains of many Divine Armants. It would be too much for Ying that only got out from the sealed chamber for over a month to stomach seeing so many wreckages and remains of her own kind. It was indeed a big impact on her.
Turning his head around, Joshua looked at the surroundings. There was basically nothing in the white sky. The endless sky looked purely white. anwhile, the ground was purely black, a total contrast to the color of the sky.
“A free Hero Class. Nothing seems wrong with it. So why wouldn’t I accept it then… Regardless of whether it’s evil or justice, or maintaining so sort of order, or guarding against chaos, I’m fine with it.”
Breathing in still and dry air, Joshua fixed his eyes on the tombstone. He suddenly laughed and said softly, “Regardless of killing orcs or daemons, as long as I can battle much stronger enemies… that would be enough.”
Since that was the path you chose to walk upon, it does not seem to be a bad choice either.
So Joshua spoke.
“I take my vow here—I, Joshua Radcliffe, shall see through all makers of evil for eternity in desolation.”
Joshua grabbed tightly on the Azurite in his right palm.
“Class, Chaos Guardian.”
A sigh of the wind ca from the windless world.
There was no color at all, only radiance shining from Joshua’s right hand. The light had no temperature and did no damage. It was gentle and mild as if it wasn’t even there. However, the light was indeed shining across this small world.
With the warrior as the center point, the radiance began to spread out in a do shape. In an instant, the light had filled the entire area of the graveyard, reaching to the edge of the Temporal Space. The power of Chaos and Order were clashing against each other by the edge of the Temporal Space. However, no impact or ripple of energy was ford from the clashing.
The air began to move about.
Along the movent of the air, so greenish white light began to reveal themselves across all gray tombstones in the surroundings. After that, the light flew along the wind and over to the right palm of the warrior. The light was gathering in the palm of the warrior.
Joshua could see the mories of everyone—a man with black-haired and red eyes, or a woman. They were born on this land. They grew and learned how to battle. They learned how to fulfill their duty and protect their own people. After that, they were battling against Aragami and Dark Tide. In the end, they died unwillingly.
The Evil God’s secrets could not be told to the public. However, soone had to protect the seal. They who chose to take up that responsibility would be undoubtedly deed as heroes.
The light circle was beginning to spin, expanding to its limit. The colorless radiance continued to expand and shrink all of a sudden. The entire space was dimd. The radiance had fused the greenish-white light into the Azurite. After that, the lights then spread around Joshua’s entire body.
The power was gushing in relentlessly. anwhile, the red words right before his eyes continued to refresh. In the end, his view was only covered with red words that were closely packed together.
[You’ve succeeded in acquiring Hero Class—Chaos Guardian]
[You’re Class Level 5]
[Warning! You’ve not t the requirent to unlock!]
[Class Gift: Order of Emmanuel, Camp Detection, (Locking On), (Locking On)]
[Class Special: Unkindled Fla, (Locking On), (Locking On)]
[Class Skill Tree: Purify, Order, Guard (Fused into Supre)]
[You need to complete a Class quest to unlock the reward and the Class Gifts and Special.]
[Quest: A Festive Purification]
[Use the blood soaked in Chaos to pri the Initial Fla. The Azurite demands sacrifice.]
[Quest Target: Kill a target in the Chaotic Camp that is at least a Silver Tier. 0/1]
Without even looking at what the quest unlock was about, Joshua closed his eyes as he was sensing the power surging through his entire body without saying a word.
The sudden appearance of the power surge from the Azurite had fused into his bloodstream. The fusion was so perfect as if the two things were initially one. It had fused completely with his body with the purpose of becoming a part of the warrior’s power.
“So this is the resonance that I felt earlier on? The ancestors of Radcliffe had been calling it the power of Order for generations. So from the holder of the Azurite to the Azurite itself, and to the next generation that will use his legacy bloodline… I see, if I die, this power will return back to the Azurite and will be passed on to my sons.”
Just like the fla of Legacy, even if wood was burned to ashes, there would still be so residue of kindling materials left for the next generation to pick up.
Joshua opened his eyes wide. His red eyes were as bright as the moonlight. Now, all radiance had disappeared. The entire space instantly beca calm once again. The Azurite that he held tightly in his palm had stopped flashing. He stayed silent without saying a word.
Upon turning his head towards the graveyard, his eyes gazed at the surroundings for more than ten seconds. Then the warrior turned his head back without showing any expression on his face. After that, he did not say a word as well. He only walked towards the door behind him with large paces, leaving the vicinity. anwhile, his Divine Armant was following closely behind him. Upon crossing into the dinsional door, Ying looked back on those tombstones across the black land. Then, she vanished into the blue light that ca from the door.
Facing so many respected dead people, what should a warrior do?
There was no need to hold a morial ceremony for them because continuing their legacies would be the best way to honor them. There was no need to mourn for them as they had already fulfilled their destiny.
*****
The black land, the white sky, the gray tombstones.
The blue door vanished. anwhile, the moving air that the Azurite swirled had stopped and stayed still. The graveyard in the dinsional door had recovered to its quiet state.
Fire, brought light and heat.
The beginning of human civilization was sparked by fire.
In the age where darkness covered the entire continent, humans waved torches in their hands to illuminate the darkness.
The fathers would pass it to their sons and their sons would pass it to their grandsons. The fire would only pass on from generations to generations across the civilization. anwhile, those kindled flas would be reignited once again.
The new generation of humans had the obligation to continue on the tradition of shining throughout the world.
