Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 516 - 287: Desecration of Life

Kaeligan’s words silenced Nuke, who finally sighed and said:

"Don’t cause trouble in the camp, or I’ll take you out even if it means angering the Wealth Goddess Guild."

Kaeligan nodded, and only then did Nuke leave directly.

Seeing Nuke leave, Louis spoke, "Did the Wealth Goddess really give you a prophecy, saying I’d face trouble this time?"

Kaeligan shrugged, "As a faithful believer, do you think I’d joke about the Goddess?"

Louis said, "That’s hard to say. Jianqi’s followers know well that their God is so cunning and evil, yet they don’t shy away from joking about their deity."

Kaeligan replied helplessly, "Alright, stop guessing; this matter is true."

Louis nodded, mainly seeing Kaeligan with an assured demeanor, wanting to tease him a bit.

"The Goddess’s divine boon will bring you immense benefits, feel the Divine Power flowing within you, it will tell you what power the Goddess’s boon will grant."

Louis nodded, and as it spread within him, he quickly sensed the special power flowing in his body.

The power named Divine Power told him what the deity granted him.

"Golden Throw, Power of Money, and Wealth Scent?"

These are the powers bestowed by the Wealth Goddess’s divine boon; Golden Throw and Power of Money are skills, while Wealth Scent is an innate ability.

The effect of Wealth Scent is rather simple, easily sensing the value of something, even if he is unaware of it.

The manifestation of Golden Throw and Power of Money is quite bug-like.

Golden Throw can grant Louis or others the effect of ignoring defenses, the degree to which it ignores defense depends on the money spent.

For example, Louis can pay 10 Gold Coins as a price, letting any attack ignore 1% of the opponent’s defense.

Meaning, if Louis pays 1000 Gold Coins as a price, he can directly ignore the opponent’s offensive and defensive, hitting true damage directly.

— It’s just that the cost is somewhat severe; 1000 Gold Coins, many families can’t earn that much money in a lifetime.

Even for Louis, using it would feel incredibly heartache.

But the effect of true damage is so tempting; doesn’t this mean if the Emperor doesn’t choose to evade his attack, even a simple slash would break defenses?

Of course, the other skill Power of Money is also great.

The effect is explosively simple and direct: spending 100 Gold Coins permanently boosts Louis’s damage by 1%, up to a maximum of 200%.

Louis checked, and his current boost was already 200%.

However, whether it’s Golden Throw or Power of Money, they require the consumption of his Divine Power.

If Louis’s Divine Power is in a slow state, he can use Golden Throw 40 times, or Power of Money 20 times, in one go.

Overall, it indeed greatly enhanced Louis’s combat abilities.

He couldn’t help but think of the previous Hero Max’s [Silver Hand].

The effect of Silver Hand is to block everything in front of oneself.

If anyone is truly thinking of confronting Silver Hand head-on, weapons below the Divine Artifact level will directly be cut into two pieces. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Golden Throw and Power of Money are considered super-strengthened upgrades of Silver Hand.

It’s just that the cost of usage is even greater.

If it were a regular profession, seeing the skill activation cost, they might faint directly and then only use these skills when really desperate.

Think about it, using Golden Throw once is equivalent to spending 10 million on Blue Star in one shot.

Power of Money requires 10,000 Gold Coins to stack fully, equivalent to 10 billion.

One could say the monetary cost to use such skills is astronomical.

Only someone like Louis, who controls a large guild, could use this divine boon.

Louis, with a face full of black lines, looked up at Kaeligan: "Lord Kaeligan, the Goddess’s boon is pretty good, don’t come again next time."

Kaeligan spoke strangely, "You shouldn’t have gotten the best batch of divine boons, right?"

Louis looked up and said, "What do you mean?"

Kaeligan said seriously, "As followers of the Wealth Goddess, we most desire the means to directly convert money into combat power."

"If it only costs mere Gold Coins to enhance combat effectiveness, we truly have many followers willing to spend that money."

Louis, feeling heartache, clutched his chest and said, "I know these skills are strong, but it’s still hard to endure."

Kaeligan said speechlessly, "The money that needs to be spent should be spent; is there a need to be so tough on it? You’re not the Great Sin·Greed."

Louis coughed and said, "Mr. Kaeligan, it’s not good to speak ill of my good brother in front of me."

Kaeligan coughed, suddenly remembering that many said Mayer had a close relationship with that Prince of the Empire.

Yet he still said, "In any case, I entrust the upcoming battle to you."

Kaeligan had already checked with Beatrice about this matter and could confirm the person indeed existed and was that specific one.

So he gladly agreed.

Having more people acting as a punching bag isn’t bad, is it?

He wouldn’t refuse such a thing.

...

Nuke had a slight fatigue in his eyes.

During this time, the Giant Demon Tribe was extremely busy internally to rapidly assemble soldiers to clear the Giant Plain.

The Grand Chief was truly harsh on himself; as the highest leader of the tribe, he ran through the personnel deployment entirely despite his aging body.

Seeing that they were about to deploy troops, he saw people coming from outside, and the Grand Chief called him out for a trip.

Upon going out, he heard the neighing of horses.

The soldiers in armor were evidently knights from the Tunisia side.
