Born Sacred

Chapter 117: On The Eve of the Decisive Battle

Noah deeply realized how difficult this main quest was.

Lazarus, having become a war puppet, would not lead troops alone, which eliminated the possibility of luring him out to kill him.

To take down Lazarus, he could only clash head-on with the main Weston Army force, and only find an opportunity when the battle was at its fiercest.

This was because Lazarus’s state was neither living nor dead; he was mostly in a deep slumber, and Charles would only use this trump card at the most critical moment; he would not be seen in ordinary battles at all.

One person against a million Weston Army soldiers, countless generals and strategists?

Even Noah couldn’t achieve that.

Although he could revive countless times, if the Weston Army could kill him once, they could kill him countless times; they weren’t just one person who could be worn down by him. Noah wanted to wear down the Weston Army by himself, which would require a long time to slowly grind them down.

However, his time was limited; if it exceeded five days, the trial quest would fail, and he would lose this opportunity for Talent sublimation.

Fortunately, the Weston Army still had two major enemies: Samuel and Lazarus.

He was not fighting alone.

The problem was that he was just an eccentric individual, not a high-ranking official in either army; he could not decide the strategy of the Vane Alliance.

When would the Vane Alliance engage the Weston Army in an all-out war, leading to a true decisive battle?

Noah did not know.

It was highly probable that it wouldn’t happen quickly, as this was a battle that would determine the fate of their nations. Both sides were very cautious and would not easily gamble everything without a significant advantage.

Waiting for half a month or even a month was perfectly normal.

But Noah couldn’t wait that long.

"I must make the Vane Alliance see an opportunity for victory." Noah’s eyes flickered as he settled on his plan. Only by causing chaos within the Weston Army, making the Vane Alliance see a chance and push forward with all their might, could the situation Noah wanted to see emerge, creating an opportunity for him to complete the quest.

"The last day, charge the formation."

"Use my Undying Talent and powerful strength to disrupt the Weston Army as much as possible."

"There are still three days left; I must improve my strength as much as possible."

Noah understood that only when his own strength was sufficient could he shake the Weston Army formation and plunge them into chaos.

He opened his attribute panel and checked his current attributes.

[Name: Noah]

[Rank: Tier 2]

[Talent: Born Sacred (EX)]

[Strength: 70750+4245]

[Agility: 59750+3585]

[Constitution: 72000+4320]

[Spirit: 47500+2850]

[Skills: Close Combat Specialization Lv4+1, Thunder Shadow Step Lv6+1, Rank Suppression, Savage Bloodline Lv0+1, War Stomp Lv5+1, Mountain River Collapse Lv5+1, Life Force Field, Dance in the Air Lv1+1, Archery Specialization Lv1+1]

[Cultivation Method: Hundred Battles Martial Canon +1 (Peak)]

[Bloodline: Savage Bloodline]

[Titles: Pioneer, Pioneer, Fearless]

[Authority: Refinement Lv5]

Before entering the Mythical Three Kingdoms instance, his last Rare-grade skill, Savage Bloodline, also successfully completed its breakthrough.

[Savage Bloodline Lv0+1]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Type: Passive Skill, Bloodline]

[The ancient Savage Bloodline has further transformed within you, granting you even more powerful physical attributes. Strength +22000, Agility +11000, Constitution +22000.

Bloodline power unleashed: Strength +110%, Agility +55%, Constitution +110%]

The Perfect-grade Savage Bloodline, compared to its Rare-grade state, doubled the added attribute values and the Bloodline Power Unleashed amplification. At just Lv0, it was comparable to the latter at max level.

The difference between the two seemed not too great.

However, Noah clearly understood that the key point of a Bloodline’s quality improvement was not the added attributes, but its potential and upper limit.

At the same level, the Perfect-grade Savage Bloodline only increased attributes by twice as much as the Rare-grade.

But this was only at Tier 2.

Once Noah advanced to Three-order, the potential of the Perfect-grade Savage Bloodline would immediately be released. Due to the special nature of Bloodlines, the Bloodline power he could bear at that time would reach the strength of Four-order.

Conversely, if Noah’s Savage Bloodline was still Rare-grade, even if he advanced to Three-order, the Bloodline’s attributes would not change, because Three-order was already its upper limit.

...

By this point, all of Noah’s nine skills, excluding his two innate skills, had become Perfect-grade.

The highest attribute was 70,000, and the lowest was also 50,000.

With such a powerful attribute panel, let alone among Tier 2, he would be hard-pressed to find an opponent even in Three-order.

However, Noah was still not satisfied.

In a one-on-one fight, he wasn’t afraid of any top general, but he didn’t know how powerful a top general amplified by army formation techniques would be.

Lazarus, who had lived his third life, could no longer lead troops, but his own strength was growing stronger and stronger. To be used as a trump card by Charles, his rank was likely already Four-order.

"It’s not enough, I must become stronger."

Noah’s expression was resolute.

In these three days, he would improve himself as much as possible.

With the Talent effect active, he would continuously grow stronger. However, just three days was far from enough to add sufficient attribute points. After all skills transformed into Perfect-grade, leveling up also slowed down, and three days were not enough to improve too much.

The only direction for becoming stronger was through cultivation methods.

The current Hundred Battles Martial Canon was a High-grade cultivation method, corresponding to Rare-grade. He greatly anticipated how powerful it would be when the cultivation method broke through to a level corresponding to Perfect-grade.

...

"Noah, this world can actually exchange for cultivation methods." Rose sent a message excitedly.

Calculating the time, they should have just joined the Vane Army camp.

Seeing this message, Noah was stunned. Upon asking, he learned that those eccentric individuals who joined could exchange military merits for benefits.

Thinking about it, it made sense. If there were no benefits, why would those eccentric individuals come out and risk their lives for the three major factions.

"Cultivation methods." Noah’s eyes lit up.

The Tier 2 instance also belonged to low-level instances. According to common sense, there shouldn’t be cultivation methods or secret manuals.

He didn’t know if it was because the background of this instance was too strong or for some other reason, but there were actually cultivation method classics available for them to view.

These cultivation method classics were much stronger than those on Blue Star in reality. Although they couldn’t be taken out, they could rely on memory to record them, indirectly taking them away.

It was no wonder Rose was so excited.

Immediately, he contacted Brooks, and not long after, Zarek arrived with a large pile of cultivation method classics.

In assisting his cultivation, the Vane Army camp clearly showed full sincerity, without any hesitation.

Noah didn’t expect to learn these cultivation methods within three days. He only used them to broaden his horizons, absorb the concepts of cultivation methods in this world, and use them as nourishment for himself.

Besides reviewing cultivation method classics, Noah also didn’t give up on challenging Zarek and other Vane Army generals.

The cultivation method classics he could see were relatively low-level. The cultivation methods practiced by top generals like Zarek were naturally very high-level, but unfortunately, they didn’t exist in written form within the instance. Noah could only comprehend and understand them through combat.

The Vane Army camp had the most top generals in the Three Kingdoms.

Fighting against them was of great benefit to Noah.

He also gained some understanding of the army formation techniques in this world.

Just like that, three days passed in a flash.
