Chapter 382 - 382 Cecilia
The sudden turn of events left Song Jian somewhat surprised. He turned to look and a figure emerged from the passage outside the main hall.
Priest Cecilia!
A faint glow enveloped her as she continually waved her magic staff. Rays of light descended from the sky, falling upon Song Jian, the three Dawn Warriors, and the Black Dragon hatchling.
“Cecilia, why did you come?” Song Jian asked excitedly.
“Guided by God,” Cecilia replied with a smile.
Song Jian noticed a new status effect in his status bar: “Recover 15 Vitality Points every second, lasting 30 minutes”.
Flap-flap-flap ~
Cecilia’s codex in the left hand flipped pages on its own without any wind. As Cecilia chanted divine incantations and pointed at everyone, they were immediately shrouded in a milky-white glow.
Divine Protection!
Defense increased by 2000, damage from enemies reduced by 30%;
Another powerful supportive effect. Song Jian’s face lit up with joy. With Cecilia’s assistance, beating the three bosses ahead suddenly seemed possible!
“Cecilia, this isn’t the Dawn Divine Palace!” The Abyss Demon Knight sneered, swinging his lance at the Dawn Warrior “Ya” with savage force. A dark demonic aura surged from the lance, and his eyes glowed with murderous intent.
“Move out of the way!” Song Jian roared, rushing forward to stand in “Ya’s” place. Golden light radiated from his body as he assumed a strange stance with his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword.
Whoosh ~
The air within a three-meter radius seemed to be violently compressed. Song Jian felt a strong wind blowing in his face, making it hard to breathe. It felt as though countless sharp blades were stabbing into his body, and his protective armor seemed to lose its effect all of a sudden.
Clang-
A dull collision echoed in everyone’s ears. Initially, the sound was muffled, but it soon grew louder and more resonant. Finally, the sound reverberated throughout the temple, crashing against everyone like a tsunami wave after wave.
Sacred Parry!
Song Jian felt a huge force driving him backward. He was like a small stone being hurled into the air, smashing harshly against the temple wall. He then fell down from the wall.
A damage indicator showing over nine hundred points popped up above the Demon Knight’s head. The searing pain caused the Demon Knight to growl in agony.
“Kulun, you’ve been away from the Dawn Divine Palace for too long. You’ve even forgotten the signature move of the Dawn Knights.” Cecilia revealed a mocking smile. She waved her right hand, and a ray of divine light fell upon Song Jian.
With the super supportive Cecilia on their side, Song Jian and the three Dawn Warriors were brimming with confidence. They charged fearlessly towards the Demon Knight Kulun.

Broken Wing Dance!
Spiritual Sword Control Technique!
Light Strike!
With a Sword Shadow Step, Song Jian flashed behind the demonic knight, and unleashed a series of sword techniques at the BOSS, the Light Strike in particular inflicted double the damage on the demonic knight, Kulun. The initial damage of over six hundred points, but now reached one thousand two hundred points, immediately directing the knight’s attention towards him.
Light Strike is a holy attack, specifically effective against demonic knights. Seeing Song Jian using Light Strike, Cecilia’s eyes twinkled, and an enchanting smile appeared on her face.
“Knight of Dawn, you damned guy!” The demonic knight Kulun directly gave up on the Dawn Warriors and pivoted, swinging his halberd violently towards Song Jian.
Even with Cecilia performing healing magic from behind, Song Jian dared not take a direct hit from the demonic knight and swiftly maneuvered to evade.
With a “boom”, the ground split, creating a rift over three meters long from which hot, red blood, like lava, spurted out.
Wielding his halberd, demonic knight Kulun, steady yet agile, resembled a mighty dragon. Despite being surrounded, he didn’t seem pressured. Each of his techniques grew stronger.
If it wasn’t for Cecilia continually casting her healing spells from behind, the four of them, including Song Jian, would have been killed by the demonic knight.
Song Jian observed that although the knight’s hostility was directed towards him, each of his attacks had a splashing effect, also causing damage to the three Dawn Warriors nearby.
Even a basic attack could inflict two to three hundred points of damage on the surroundings.
Moreover, as the Demonic Knight Kulun’s Vitality Points could continue to decrease, its attack grew stronger. The initial basic attacks that caused two to three hundred points of damage now caused four to five hundred points. Despite Cecilia’s healing, the three Dawn Warriors felt restrained and dared not plunge straight into the fight.
Boom!
With a devastating sweep, the demonic knight sent a Dawn Warrior flying, dealing over seven hundred points of damage, sending him into a critical state.
Cecilia quickly cast a healing spell, reviving him.
“Master, its attack is getting more fierce. We are struggling to resist!” A warrior cried out.
“Hold on, it won’t last much longer!” Song Jian roared.
Just then, a dragon’s roar echoed from the sky. Song Jian, startled, looked up only to see the half-blooded Black Dragon hatchling with a three-headed hellhound in its mouth, suspended in mid-air.
The hellhound seemed to have lost all its strength, hanging limply. Despite being battered, the hatchling held its head high, proudly slamming the hellhound onto the ground.
“Good job!” Song Jian couldn’t help but cheer. Although the black dragon hatchling was only a level fifteen elite, it was able to kill one of the two level twenty elite BOSS, demonstrating its place at the top of the food chain.
This also had a lot to do with Cecilia’s constant healing. Without the support of Cecilia Priest, the black dragon hatchling would not be a match for the two hellhounds.
“Damn it, reptile, I’ll tear you apart and cast you into the abyss. Your soul will wail in agony for ten thousand years under the flames of the abyss!” The demonic knight Kulun roared as he saw the falling body of the three-headed hellhound. Swinging his halberd, he struck the ground.
Boom!
An intense force burst from the ground, blasting everyone who was attacking him a dozen meters away.
The demonic knight chanted a spell, slowly raising his left hand. Behind him, the volcano of blood erupted, the hot blood wave rising tens of meters high. A codex emitting a dark aura slowly ascended from the volcano opening.
“Come forth, my warriors, shred my enemies before my eyes!” The demonic knight’s eyes radiated crimson as a ball of hot flames emerged from the Book of the Abyss and fell in front of him.
A huge black bronze gate became clearer and clearer as it was engulfed in burning black flames, becoming larger and larger.
