<h4>Chapter 852: Ignite the Core</h4>
[Knights of gue Body Tempering Art]
Kieran didn’t know the precise effect of this body tempering technique but he knew it was a chance, a chance to acquire the core skill simr to the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art].
For a lone wolf like Kieran, such a chance was not to be missed, so he was conscientious and meticulous in remembering all the shapes of the human figures.
Aco was very pleased with Kieran’s seriousness because he knew he had seeded in fooling Kieran.
“My child, do you want more? Come,e forth! Enter my kingdom, not only will you gain unexpected knowledge, you will be granted eternal life as well!”
Aco tried to bewitch Kieran again.
This time, he was quite confident that Kieran would step into the small chapel but as his voice faded, the scene that surprised Aco happened.
Kieran was still standing on the spot, not even budging an inch.
Though Kieran’s hands were making poses left and right, not in a messy way but with certain rhythm and tempo.
The rhythm and tempo was very family to Aco, it was the [Knights of gue Body Tempering Art]!
“He is remembering Knights of gue Body Tempering Art?!”
The thought appeared instantaneously in Aco’s heart and right away, he wanted to stop showing it.
However, once he thought that stopping it would mean that he had wasted all the efforts already made, Aco hated the thought of giving up just like that.
Time flew as Aco was soaking in his own hesitation.
Gradually, the stolen Dawn Force was slipping away quickly and up to a point where Aco had reached his enduring limits, so did his patience.
“Come my child! Come to me!”
The gue tried to bewitch Kieran again with his words.
As he spoke, a faint gray color started toe afloat in the warm white light.
The gray color was like the venomous snakes in the bush, slowly approaching Kieran without a sign.
3 meters!
2 meters!
1 meter!
Just when the gray light almost shone over Kieran’s body, Kieran who was posing with his hands with a nk stare suddenly stopped his motions.
His hands fell back down to a casual state, his eyes were ring in a pressuring light even though there was still a sense of dullness to it.
Kieran’s body backed off quickly with the push from the tip of his feet and even when he was backing off, his eyes never left the disy of the [Knights of gue Body Tempering Art].
“YOU LIED TO ME?!”
Aco growled angrily after being stunned for a while.
The small chapel shook, sshing countless clouds of dust around it following the angry growl but Kieran didn’t care about all of that.
His eyes were scanning the disy of the [Knights of gue Body Tempering Art], whileparing it with the memories in his brain.
Kieran’s vignt character had determined that his work would be meticulous and mindful, especially when it was rted to the body tempering techniques which could be a core skill, it required even more precision.
He was very clear what kind of damage it would cause if he was even slightly wrong in even a single part.
When Guntherson thought him the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art], he mentioned it more than once about the saddening oue should he go wrong, be it being crippled or paralyzed.
Enraged, Aco saw Kieran was still remembering the [Knights of gue Body Tempering] even when he was retreating, his rage grew even stronger.
Simr to an earthquake during a volcano eruption, everything within a 100-meter radius started to shake fiercely starting from the small chapel as the center point.
“You repulsive liar! I will kill you!” Aco shouted furiously.
But... it was just that.
After the grand earthquake, there wasn’t a follow-up attack of the same caliber. The enraged Aco just disappeared like that, with his remaining Dawn Force, vanishing without a trace.
The small chapel returned to its peaceful state as if everything that happened was an unreal illusion.
Huuu!
After a while, Kieran was still trying to rey all the techniques rted to the [Knights of gue Body Tempering Art] again and after making sure there were no mistakes, he finally let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
He looked at the small chapel with a calm expression.
From the very first moment, Kieran was sure Aco was being restricted otherwise he wouldn’t have lured him with such a “mild” way. Besides, Aco’s mind seemed a bit slow.
“Is it due to reviving after death? Or the long period of imprisonment?” Kieran wondered.
Though he didn’t know what the final oue reason was.
The secrets rted to life and death, however, were not for Kieran to touch yet since he wasn’t qualified now, let alone the revival of a God.
Based on the knowledge he mastered and the rumors he grasped, there was not a single explicit exnation about any such thing.
On the contrary, Transcendence [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]’s details were disyed before his eyes with utmost details.

The increase of all attributes started the familiar warm stream in Kieran’s body.
A full 20 secondster when the warm stream faded away, Kieran finally got used to his powered up body.
The powerful Spirit allowed him to nce over his body, the muscles, blood, and the secret runes branded in the deeper parts were all revealed to Kieran.
Originally with the system’s help, Kieran could instantly master his powerful body and with the empowerment of such a powerful Spirit attribute, he mastered his body even more thoroughly.
He “saw” that Transcendence [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] had left a secret rune branding on one of his hearts. Then, the blood sifted by the rune flowed across his body, nourishing each and every inch of his muscles and bones as if it was igniting a core that brought the whole body together, changing it entirely.
Although the process was quite slow, the changes were undoubtedly there.
When the blood flowed through the parts of his body with the hidden rune, the brands lit up with natural light.
[Sharp Weapon, Dagger] and [Sharp Weapon, Polearm] from his wrists, palms, and fingers.
[Sharp Weapon, Heavy Arms] on his shoulders and arms.
[Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm] on his eyes.
[Hand-to-hand Combat, Kick Combats] at his legs and [Undercover] at his feet.
The brands lit up spot after spot, likemps illuminating the darkness.
Kieran’s body was lit up part by part, expelling the original darkness and chaos that resided in him.
