Even if he were to kiss the back of the Hero's foot in the next moment, the observing Little Girl would not find it strange.
Although she wasn't physically touched, the Hero felt a peculiar sensation in her heart from such esteemed treatment, but she was frustrated due to the lack of pen and paper to express her pent-up words.
Indeed, it was strange; she had no idea what she did to deserve such treatment by the Bishop.
No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out the answer. Swallowing her saliva, the Hero's toes twitched anxiously.
Can't it be faster...
In the next moment, the preparations by the Cruising Bishop were finally complete.
He began to chant the Spell Chant in a low voice.
It was like a song, like a prayer, like chanting.
Placed in an exquisite glass bottle, the Stigmata of the 'Martial Monk' profession slowly shattered and then, along with the glass-like container, turned into countless light spots.
"Is this how the Stigmata fixed by magic looks, similar to those of the Mage Association? Will I also reincarnate in the future?"
The Little Girl by the side held her breath, watching the scene intently.
Normally, the reincarnation ceremony should not have spectators to avoid disturbances, but with the Bishop's skill, such errors wouldn't occur, and the Hero, of course, didn't mind her friend's observation.
In the next moment, these [Colorless] light spots, under the guidance of the Bishop's magic power, flowed into the part of the Hero's lower leg that he was clutchingly holding, forming a pattern on the skin that conveyed a mysterious and ethereal texture.
10.Critical Success/Extreme Failure
The Emerald Green Stigmata wrapped around the lower part of her right leg, resembling a beautiful decoration beloved by elves, filled with lush vitality,
That emerald hue reflected in the Hero's eyes, nearly indistinguishable from each other, as if it wasn't a mark engraved afterward but a trait she was born with.
As the information within the Stigmata resonated with the magic power inside her, the Hero closed her eyes, feeling the transformations within her body.
Her breathing became smooth and prolonged, her senses became sharper and more agile, and within her limbs and bones, the vigor of life flowed endlessly.
—She had now become a Martial Monk.
A profession once only accessible in monasteries around the world, after the Church's expansion, this group too was enlarged, and the threshold for employment lowered.
Martial Monks can transform the magic power inside their body into 'Qi,' which can be released through punches and kicks, or used to enhance themselves, causing destruction comparable to magic.
Compared to plain Fighters, Martial Monks put more emphasis on spiritual training; compared to those who seek great destructive power, Martial Monks tend to strengthen their own Physique.
Focusing on Perception and Constitution, Martial Monks are a profession extremely compatible with the Church.
Martial Monks are also adept at employing other attributes, including Wisdom-famed Zen Monks and Charm-deviating Magic Monks.
Although Strength and Agility are indispensable for Martial Monks, they are usually not prioritized in training.
However, this does not mean that Martial Monks' combat abilities are weaker than those of other professions.
When both Spirit and Physique reach their ultimate states, Martial Monks often achieve miracles with just their bodies, which even Mages would find incredible.
For example, crossing Space, or transcending Death.
A certain Legendary Monk:
Once, a child asked me, can你用拳头 punch through a mountain?
Then can you punch a Dragon in the sky?
I still shook my head.
Then can you defeat a warrior clad in Iron Armor?
I could only shake my head.
Because the mountain is a habitat I have never thought of shattering.
I have never seen a pure Dragon.
And after the age of fifteen, I have had no quarrels with anyone.
The child, upon hearing my answers, left disappointed.
...I felt ashamed at that time, unable to provide any answers he wanted.
Since then, 180 years have passed. I heard that in a distant land, an Ancient Dragon has stirred up an Arcane Surge.
I think it's time to find an answer.
