Chapter 232: Chapter232-The Rebirth of the Swordlord, Judgment of Frost and Flame

"Originally, I could have become a sage, but the Godkin trapped me here and kept me firmly restrained."

"I held on alone for thousands of years. After my death, the Godkin uprooted my entire race... My whole life was ruined by the Godkin."

He paused, and his voice sank lower.

"Sometimes, I wonder why I was given this talent at all. Wouldn’t it have been better to be an ordinary person? Birth, aging, sickness, and death would only last a few hundred years. How could there be so much suffering?"

He looked at Daniel, a trace of hope in his eyes.

"If you fight the Godkin, they will not let you off easily. I only hope that you... kill a few more Godkin. That will be enough. I can no longer change anything. I might as well calmly walk toward death."

Death?

But you are clearly filled with unwillingness.

If there were still a chance, how could you give up?

Daniel did not believe it.

"Are you truly willing to die?"

"I mean, what if you could continue fighting?"

Daniel suddenly asked.

"Hmm!?"

Camille abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock.

Boom—!

A powerful aura at the peak of demi-sage rank suddenly erupted from his body.

Faustus narrowed his eyes slightly.

So strong!

This Swordlord had probably already reached the threshold of breaking through to Divine-grade.

Camille pointed his sword toward the sky, his eyes filled with endless battle intent.

"If I could continue living, I would slaughter my way into the Godkin and make their blood flow like rivers! I would make them taste what it feels like to have their people massacred and to live in endless suffering!"

Faustus took a deep breath.

In his heart, he made his decision.

"I can let you be reborn."

Camille’s eyes suddenly widened.

Reborn!

Faustus flipped his hand and took out that crystal, his tone calm.

"I have a treasure called the Regeneration Crystal. It can allow someone on the verge of death to be reborn in peak condition while retaining all their memories and consciousness."

Camille suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and asked solemnly,

"So, what price do I need to pay?"

He knew the value of such a treasure. He absolutely did not believe that the other party would let him be reborn unconditionally.

A ruthless man who had endured purgatory, supported everything alone for thousands of years, and had always been prepared to drag billions of beings in this world down together with the Godkin.

An old man who would rather shoulder ten thousand years of loneliness.

Someone like him did not believe that pies would simply fall from the sky.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Faustus’s mouth.

"The condition is that I will establish a Godslayer Alliance. After you are reborn, you must join it."

Camille did not hesitate in the slightest.

"No problem!"

Faustus nodded.

"Then you can die."

Rebirth meant dying and being born again.

Only by dying could he live!

Camille laughed brightly, then aimed the tip of his sword at his own heart.

Pfft—!

The sword pierced through his heart.

This sword had never existed for the sake of drawing blood.

It had been born to protect.

To protect the entire plane.

To protect an entire race.

But today, it had drawn blood.

And it was Camille’s own blood.

That blood was incomparably hot.

Blood that had lain dormant for nearly ten thousand years was still burning hot.

Within that blood was the flame of hatred.

Within it was all the grief and rage of a powerhouse who had endured ten thousand years of loneliness.

At the same time, Faustus raised the Regeneration Crystal in his hand.

[Ding! Confirm use of [Regeneration Crystal] to regenerate [Camille]? This item is extremely precious. Once used, it cannot be reversed.]

"Confirm."

[Prompt: Regeneration conditions fulfilled. Regeneration successful! You have successfully regenerated the peak demi-sage rank powerhouse [Camille]!]

The instant the system prompt sounded, a change appeared before Faustus.

A mass of blazing light completely enveloped Camille, and the aura of life slowly awakened!

A moment later, a perfectly intact Camille stood before him.

The strongest being in Luminari history, the demi-sage rank powerhouse who had endured thousands of years of solitude, had been reborn.

Faustus and Camille looked at each other and smiled.

The silent oath between them no longer needed words. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Faustus waved his hand.

Buzz—!

The Chrono Reversal Circle abruptly vanished.

Camille still existed.

That sword still existed as well.

Moreover, the Camille standing there now was in perfect condition!

He sensed the wounds in his body that had once tormented him beyond endurance.

At this moment, all of them had completely disappeared.

A scorching gratitude surged in Camille’s heart.

It was the grace of being dragged back from the abyss of death.

It was not charity.

It was not pity.

It was rebirth.

This favor was higher than the heavens and deeper than the sea.

This debt of gratitude pressed heavily against his heart!

...

Faustus looked at the sword in Camille’s hand and spoke calmly.

"Can I borrow that sword?"

His quest was to obtain this sword.

Camille laughed heartily. Without the slightest hesitation, he offered the sword with both hands.

The instant the hilt fell into Faustus’s palm, a system prompt exploded beside his ear.

[Ding! Camille is willing to acknowledge you as his master. Please confirm.]

Faustus was slightly stunned and raised his eyes to look at Camille.

There was no hesitation in the old man’s eyes.

Only certainty.

"Confirm."

Camille solemnly knelt on one knee.

"Camille greets Master."

"Rise."

Faustus reached out and helped him up.

"From this day forward, you and I will fight side by side. We are comrades!"

Camille straightened, light burning in his eyes.

"Against whom shall we fight?"

Faustus gazed into the void and said indifferently,

"Against the gods! And against those fools who want to sit above our heads and act like our masters."

"As you command!"

The instant the sword hilt entered his hand—

[Ding! You have completed the class change quest [Swordlord]!]

[Ding! You have obtained [epic-grade forbidden spell · Judgment of Frost and Flame] ×1!]

[Ding! You have obtained [forbidden-grade archer Class Awakening Scroll（Level 300）] ×1!]

The class change quest was complete.

That sword was no longer something he absolutely had to hold.

Faustus returned the sword to Camille.

Now that Camille was one of his people, it made no difference whose hands the sword was in.

Only then did he check his gains from this quest.

[epic-grade forbidden spell · Judgment of Frost and Flame]

Restriction: forbidden-grade archer

Effect: A compound epic-grade forbidden spell formed from the dual elements of ice and fire. Its power is extremely terrifying!

Special: Damage scales with the strength of the caster.

Consumption: 10% MP

Duration: None

Description: Ice and fire are among the most primordial elements, and the most primordial Strength is often also the most ultimate Strength. The pinnacle of elemental magic is often to shatter complexity until only the simplest true essence remains. This forbidden spell is the best answer to that principle.

...

After reading it, Faustus raised his hand and used the skill book glowing with red and blue light.

[Ding! You have learned the epic-grade forbidden spell [Judgment of Frost and Flame]!]

[Prompt: Your skill panel has been updated. Please check the details yourself.]

With that, he had gained yet another offensive epic-grade forbidden spell.

Aside from Arrow of Judgment, he now also had Judgment of Frost and Flame.

He took out the forbidden-grade archer Class Awakening Scroll and chose to use it.

[Ding! The seal on your EXP bar has been removed. You may continue leveling up.]

Daniel felt that this was probably the leveling speed of ordinary class players.

After all, hidden class change quests were as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

By contrast, the more ordinary the class, the simpler its class quests were, and the faster one could level.

That was why ordinary players became higher and higher in level as time went on, while many hidden class players leveled more and more slowly instead.

It was not that they were weak.

It was that their path was too difficult to walk.

Faustus did not hesitate and directly leveled up to the limit.

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 281. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 290. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 300. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Prompt: You have not yet completed the next stage of your class change quest. Your level cap has been sealed. Please complete your class change quest as soon as possible to unlock leveling authority.]

Level 300!

Faustus smiled.

Only the final 100 levels remained before he advanced to supreme-grade!
