Chapter 532: Transcendental Divine Paladin
-----
Frank seemed to have interesting intentions! He had purposedly let Matsuo enter because he wanted to test something which could also help his friend… Give him a divine protection!
He remembered giving one to all his family and even tamed monsters and more before, although now that they had become godly beings themselves, such divine protection hasn\'t been suppressed, but it simply had grown to be a small bonus compared to what they encompass now.
However, if Matsuo as a mortal received such a powerful divine protection, he was sure to get a good boost. Especially because divine protections enhanced the power of a wielder the more power and divinity the god had, and Frank was a cheat god, he had the power of several divinities together! This meant that he could give him way more power than any being on his level could give through a divine protection.
Even more, the bond of friendship the two shared was enhanced even further through this means, making of Matsuo the perfect wielder of Frank\'s divine protection and also somewhat of his paladin…
But what is a paladin?
A paladin is a man of good faith, a knight that serves god and fights for god, who serves its cause and grows stronger through faith and training. It is a holy man that obeys the word of the god it prays upon.
In history it has been twisted many times, but the concept within games was often a knight that was close to being more of a priest, some even call paladins priests in armor, and they\'re people devoted to their god who take a weapon and fight bravely as their knights.
In this case, Matsuo had become Frank\'s knight, a Paladin. He even had the knack for holy light magic and even life magic, which he\'s still developing, however, Frank\'s divine protection suddenly changed this, alongside his divine protection, Frank also had a myriad of skills that enhanced the power of his followers, all of such powers were now stacked on Matsuo, and this added with the amazing bonuses of his divine protection, made Matsuo see the Light.
His mind suddenly began to expand, as he realized the incredible figure that Frank was, his mind was suddenly enlightened by something he had not truly grasped yet… he saw countless stars shining across an endless cosmos, darkness and chaos that devoured everything with their obscurity and destruction, a blazing divine fire that burned and purified everything, a flashing light that illuminated all, and a beautiful and tall tree that expanded across the entire sky and the world, filling everything with life and nourishing all of nature…
"Hahh…! Hahhh…"
Matsuo almost fell on his knees, gasping for air, the visions he saw were the representation of each of Frank\'s divinities. Although he had been given a single divine protection, it felt as if an entire pantheon of gods had given a divine protection to him!
All these divine elements fused together into his very core, and boosted his power through the roof, and to boot, his own innate talent developed greatly, the life-attribute magic he had just begun to learn suddenly developed and he almost became a prodigy on it… and his light magic gained the properties of divine flames and starlight, giving him a new insight about his new capabilities and what he could do from now on…
"This power… its amazing…" he said, admitting to Frank the amazing gift he had been given.
Matsuo felt as if his mind was expanding at every second, his body was strengthened by the shared divine grace of Frank, as his soul danced with this divine power protecting it. It is said that those that receive a divine protection from a god can begin to wield a part of that god\'s power, which they can later on make it their own.
Matsuo was receiving a small fraction of this divinity, but they were so many that they merged together into a grater power he could had ever imagined! His Mana Core was also dancing in joy as it absorbed the power of Frank\'s divine protection, gaining power and ranking up a few times, ending in Matsuo reaching Rank 6 in a single sitting… he was already Rank 4 Peak Stage, reaching Rank 6 Initial Stage just by a divine protection\'s grace was incredibly by itself, the sole prospect of such a thing was nothing but ridiculous, yet Frank had made it possible without even blinking or breaking a sweat, he was simply that amazing.
"I am glad you\'re up for the task of becoming my Paladin." Said Frank with a friendly smile.
"Paladin…"
Ding!
[Your Job has been forcefully changed into [Transcendental Divine Paladin]!]
[You acquired the [Knight of God] Title!]
Matsuo suddenly saw many system notifications pop up in front of him at his stats skyrocketed and he gained a series of new Skills as well, new effects began to emerge too, the power he got from just a mere divine protection really made it seem as if he could truly have an opportunity now! But did he? Did he had an opportunity as he believed?
Matsuo\'s presence began to exude a strong golden light, he felt ready, even his armor was reinforced by it, and he quickly took out his sword from his inventory, he had prepared to be more of a mixed fighter than just a magician now. Abusing the system, he had learned swordsmanship, shield technique, and armor technique. Nezhit, the Undead Knight himself had taught him such techniques, so he had his fair share of training montage.
Matsuo aimed to not only use magic, but his physical strength and the usage of a sword was natural for a boy that was so fitting for this balanced weapon which could be both swift and also strong enough to inflict strong, and deep wounds… he had considered a katana, even, but he decided to go against the idea for obvious reasons…
…Mostly because it was cringe.
