Gold

## **Power**

Their bodies have been reshaped by pure energy. They were basically immune to diseases and the cold. Their limbs could even regenerate after being cut off. They could also fly on their free will. Other than their heads and energy cores, they had no other weaknesses. Those were not even the special attributes of Gold-tier warriors but the basic attributes of their extraordinary bodies.

A truly powerful Gold-tier warrior could even submerge in lava and swim in molten steel. They could even chew steel and swallow gold, or eat rocks and dirt just to survive the worst situation they could possibly get themselves into.

Before the arrival of the large-scale Dark Tide that could cause the average level across the entire Continental War to increase up to a whole new level, even though the status of Lower Gold was considered precious, however, they could only be normal commanders on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Intermediate Gold-tier beings would be able to become higher level commanders of course. As for the Upper Gold tier, the situation would be just like Otto the great general of the great ‘Black Raven Army’ when Joshua first arrived on this world back in the early stage. An Upper Gold would be capable enough to be the leader of an entire army… Meanwhile, the [Mastery Soul] would be the general, first class, of the Empire’s Five Army.

## **Requirement**

Gold tier was deemed to be the ascension of the body to a whole new level. Therefore, no matter what kind of ascending to Gold tier was a whole new level, in terms of power therefore an adjustment period was needed. Just like a child could not wield a greatsword, an infant could not wield a greataxe. So common people could not have familiarized themselves with such new changes over such a short period of time.

In game this was replace by Glorious Quest, they need to complete one extremely difficult quest if they wanted to get to Gold tier. The quest had all sort of strange instructions that were quite specific. Players were not allowed to skip the tedious and complicated process of the quest. If the completion of the task was below 75%, the players would fail the quest.

There was nothing much to say about succeeding in completing the quest. However, if the players failed, not only they would be rolled back to level 30, they would also have to wait for a full month before they could attempt the same quest again, which was a lot of time wasted.

Joshua need to reach Level 35 before he can unlock his glorious strength but before that, he could still unleash a small effect of his power that his full power had to offer.

## **Glorious Strength**

It is deemed to be a [Miracle] that only belonged to one person. Unlike magic, spiritual energy, Combat Aura, and other powers that could be obtained through training by any living things, a [Miracle] was one of a kind in the entire world. Each one could only belong to one person. There were thousands of them. Such power violated basic principles. There was no other way that a person could achieve such heights in obtaining power.

Although each person’s Glorious Strength was different from the others’, however, after many years of studies done by the Empire, basically speaking, the Soul Strength that each Gold-tier champion had could be categorized into four different types.

The first type would be the Light of Instinct. It had the ability to characterize a particular ability. It would be just like hundreds of years ago when some Gold-tier vampire that went through the process of awakening and acquired a kind of ability that could stop time literally, called [The World]. Activating it would require no consequences or whatsoever. The only restriction it had was the interval time that the skill could be used again. It was considered as a normal power of instinct.

The second type would be the Light of Wisdom. It had the ability to turn into certain skill. It would be just like the skill possessed by Countess Vale Dani, called [Starfall Break]. The skill would be formed from the wisdom that was possessed by the possessor of the power. Using it would be the same as using normal skills. There was no condition or whatsoever to fulfill in order to use it. This type of ability would normally be extremely powerful. Regardless of the power’s type, the wielder of the power would appear extremely powerful. Many powerful great Mystic Legacies were created this way.

The third type would be the Light of Origin. It would be the integration, the fusion between the soul and the body. It could awaken the bloodline strength that was buried deep down in the blood, transforming the owner’s body and soul into a much more powerful and perfect form. Meanwhile, the Glorious Strength of this sort could be used more often when the wielder of this power had crossed into a higher tier. These powers would also constantly optimizing the owner’s body, making him more powerful. Many of the humans’ blood and the legacies of these special powers were derived from this type of power.

The last, also the fourth, would be the Light of Willpower. Strong wills affected the world, differentiating its own power to change its own attributes. The wielder of this power could leave their legacies and pass on their special strength to others. Many types of this sort of special powers throughout the world were born through such a way.

Normally, warriors had two types of Glory, one being Instinct while the other being the Origin. While most of the mages were wielders of Wisdom, the number of Willpower wielders was extremely rare.
