Inside the Underground cave, Cardinal Rose was patiently waiting as she looked at the calm and unmoving ‘Heavenly Blessing’, Although she was stoic outside, inwardly she was becoming more and more surprise and bewildered as time passed.
After the initiation of the Baptism, the person who is under the process will soak inside the blessings as long as he could bear. The pain and suffering endured by the individual will only multiply as time passed and the longer one stays, the greater advancement and higher boost in power they would receive.
Currently, Leylin was dipping inside the miraculous solution letting the power sink in. This is really an extraordinary source of power. According to legends, this is a natural fountain which is manifestation of the pulses from the core energy of this World’s and it’s an extremely divine entity in whole of Church of Leviathan. This is even regarded as the gift from the ‘God’ bestowed upon it’s biggest follower. The Church had monopoly over this since it’s inception along with some other amazing spots, this could be contributed as one of the biggest factor why they are this immensely strong and dominate all other dynasty combined, and also why everyone eyes their position and envy their resources.
Time passed very slowly inside the cave, as Rose could only hear her breath but with each minute passing Rose’s agitation only increased, ‘Did something happened to him? I can’t feel his presence inside the Heavenly Blessing but it’s been so long, this is truly unusual, should I inform the Pope?’
According to the years of records and repetition of this procedure with the data collected and compared, it has been established that a person who soaks for longer than other has more blessing bestowed upon them by The God and that person will also become much stronger hence, ones talent could be measured by this method. All those who achieved the status of Pope’s are those who are members of Order and gets the reward of being baptised in Heavenly Blessing. Through this one could measure their talent and future aptitude and select the best ones to rear as future pillars.
Currently Leylin’s stay in the pool has exceeded all the records of hundreds of years and even the most recently created record of staying inside for the longest in the recent memory is also inching closer to be broken by him.
As Rose was debating what to do, instantly she shivered as a colossal and suffocating undulation erupted from the Heavenly Blessing.
“This? How is this possible? ” Rose was bewildered as she felt the ominous presence which smashed into her psyche and even generated a sense of fear and trepidation in her heart, and immediately after she was shocked as she observed that Leylin is still not coming outside yet. As far as she knows no one can detect anything inside the Heavenly blessing as it would dominate the aura of the person, masking it. Only when one surpasses a certain threshold would their powers be apparent outside and the Heavenly blessing won’t be able to camouflage it. But the shocking thing is that this power is at least General stage!
*Hissss! *
Leylin hissed loudly as his body was filled with amazing strength, the water level of the Heavenly blessing was lowering at an ridiculous rate and the solution which reached upto his chest, now decreased gradually to match the height of his knees. Leylin was currently transformed in his serpent form with his amber eyes.
He looked at his surrounding, cracking his joints and slowly walked outside while deactivating the transformation which awakened during his advancement involuntarily.
The A.I. Chip’s data had also been updated as it appeared before his eyes.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 3 Warlock(Hydro Phase), Bloodline: Giant Kemoyin Serpent. Nascent Knight. Strength: 48.1, Agility: 42.2, Vitality: 56.1, Spiritual force: 309.4,Magic power: 309 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force).]
‘I have successfully entered the ranks of a Rank 3 Hydro Phase Warlock, after stacking up my bloodline abilities I should be able to easily contend against a Crystal Phase Magus and If i were to compare it to Beast Tamers than it would be around Final General Or Initial Marshall Stage and if I used all my trump cards properly than I could even match a Final Marshall Stage, which means as I am now I have already reached the apex strength in this world currently. ‘ Leylin was very pleased thinking upto this, even though he knows that things are not as easy as he broke them down, but still it means that as long as he doesn’t become too arrogant his safety is guaranteed.
After a while of suffering under the pressure and marveling at the amount of time that has passed since Leylin enter the pool, Rose was just spectating at the monstrous feat achieved by the man she not so long ago considered a junior.
Rose woke up from her trance and quickly walked up to Leylin taking out a crown from her spatial item, the crown looked like one made from thorns with vicious sharp spike and also had a baleful mystique of death around it, ” Using the powers bestowed upon me by the Church, I now crown you, Leylin Farlier as the Commander of the Order of the Death. ”
Rose solemnly put the crown on Leylin head as she bowed respectfully. Leylin observed the crown and figured that this is a high grade Magical Artifact.
“Let’s go, we have made other wait for too long!” Leylin demanded as he looked as Rose, She immediately nodded and step forward to lead the way.
Leylin could clearly see the change in attitude that Rose had but didn’t put it to his heart, while on the other hand Rose was getting crazy thinking about the feat that Leylin just achieved. Leylin doesn’t know the importance behind the time stayed inside the Baptism since his knowledge came from books mostly, but Rose knew it all too clearly.
’26 Minutes and 11 Seconds!’ Rose felt light headed only thinking about this number. She remember back than when she was baptised and thought about her record and smile wryly.
The time one stays inside the Heavenly Blessing is very important to determine one talent. Back then Rose stayed inside for 10 Minutes and 38 Seconds which is amazing in it’s self.
Inside the pool every single minutes count and every five minutes is considered a milestone after which the pressure increases by a multifold.
If one could stay for less than five minutes then they are typically considered as just an average person who will most likely only join an Order and assume a position of at most a leader for a small troop, obviously an average in Church is extremely high standard when compared to outside Empires.
Those who surpass Five minutes and are under Ten could become Vice-Commander and such. Those who surpass the 10 Minutes mark are considered true core personnel as they would assume the position of being a Commander for an Order or becoming a Cardinal serving a Pope.
Above 15 Minutes and you are almost guaranteed to become a Pope. Those who achieve this are very rare and They are the true powerhouse of the Church.
Going above 20 Minutes is considered extremely unusual of a feat achieved only in a thousands of year by a peerless genius. One such person who achieved this remarkable feat is a member of Church currently and is thought of as the true ace of the Church who will take them to greater heights.
But now, Leylin has achieved something absolutely ridiculous and surpassed the 25 Minutes mark, this is something spoke about only in Legend. At first Rose was very doubtful about the Second Pope decision in supporting Leylin but now she truly feels that no one can match his talent and radiance.
