Chapter 1339: Chapter 886: New Function

"Look! Quickly, look at my axe!"

Beastman Daniel suddenly raised his two-handed war axe, which had accompanied him through countless battles, its blade covered with dark purple oxidation marks and fine cracks.

At the moment when the silver-gray radiance swept across, those traces of Void contamination — the purple-black engravings and filthy light spots within the grooves emitting feeble corrosive aura, which even the craftsmanship of the Night Watchers struggled to eradicate — began to fade and dissipate visibly.

What remained were merely physical cracks and dents left by the destructive Void power.

Though the weapon was still damaged, the discomforting, seemingly-alive contamination, which seemed ready to spread again at any moment, vanished completely!

"My sword! Those damned purple rust spots are disappearing!"

"My goodness! I feel... the buzzing whispers in my head... have diminished!"

"The air! The air doesn’t feel as irritating anymore!"

Exclamations arose one after another.

Many warriors and adventurers retreating from the frontline discovered that the faint Void contamination lingering on their bodies or equipment was being purified and suppressed by the omnipresent silver-gray radiance.

These could have been cleared using the potions provided by the Night Watchers.

Yet, similar events were occurring worldwide with the opening of the Gates of Void, causing these Night Watchers’ exclusive potions to start falling short despite their large production due to the datafication power of the Watchers.

This led some cash-strapped adventurers to temporarily forego using the potions when the Void contamination was mild, opting to wait for it to accumulate to a certain extent before eliminating it in one go.

For adventurers with some experience, they gauged this amount quite well.

However, they would still experience discomfort during this process.

And this time, it was directly cleared away.

The contamination marks on the equipment faded and disappeared, the faint mental whispers were isolated and weakened.

This was not mere healing but more akin to directly eradicating a stubborn "illness"!

After a momentary silence, there was a tidal wave of ecstatic cheers!

"Purification! It can purify Void contamination!"

"Long live the Night Watchers!"

"We are saved! ’Iron Broken Cliff’ has hope!"

The crowd erupted; the long-suppressed grievances and fatigue seemed to find an outlet at this moment.

They waved their arms, shouting loudly, and some even embraced each other in excitement.

Daniel was so thrilled that he kept rubbing his axe’s dents with his coarse hands. Although the weapon’s scars remained, the feeling of relief made him want to roar towards the sky.

Damn, those Void creatures were finally about to be wiped out by them.

It was truly wonderful.

Lurik observed all of this, and finally, a hint of a relieved smile appeared on his tense face, yet his eyes remained heavy with thought.

He turned to Alchemist Glenn, who was equally excited: "The effect exceeded my expectations, Master Glenn. Tell me about its specific capability range."

Though he knew it was related to clearing Void, he needed to understand its functions, applications, and limitations as the expedition leader to strategically plan accordingly.

Master Glenn took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and began to explain professionally and clearly, pointing at the hovering pyramid:

"Sir, as you have seen, its core ability lies in the generation and solidification of an ’Order Field’.

"Firstly, within its scope — preliminarily estimated with a radius of approximately five kilometers, extendible through subsequent energy nodes — it can significantly curb the spread and activity of Void contamination.

"Combined with our existing ’Void Purification Agents’, both equipment and biological surface residues can be swiftly cleared and purified, achieving the perfect effect in just one standard process."

Lurik felt quite satisfied with this capability.

Because with the purification agents indeed in short supply, drastically reducing their usage could not be more beneficial.

This also indicated that as soon as the item was created, it was dispatched to them immediately.

"Of course, the prerequisite is that the target must undergo ’Blessing’, so its internal order resonates with the Order Field we created to achieve optimal effect."

Master Glenn’s eyes gleamed with awe for Kana’s Divine Power.

The fundamental function of this item is essentially to evoke the inner order capabilities of the datafication life forms, combining internally and externally, enhancing the effect of order, and allowing certain suppression and clearing of destructive Void power.

But this requirement is not a problem; both adventurers and Night Watchers here have undergone Blessing, so it’s not a matter of concern.

He continued: "Secondly, it can create a powerful spiritual barrier, completely isolating those whispers and mental contaminations seeking to erode the mind from the Void.

"Even ordinary people who are not blessed will receive effective protection within this area, greatly reducing the risk of corruption, as long as they avoid direct mental impact."

In simple terms, it is an upgraded version of the Iron Flower Structure’s barrier.

This function is clearly derived from and improved upon based on the Iron Flower Structure’s capabilities.

At least Lurik believes so; at the frontline, it certainly plays a significant role.

After all, front line mental comfort agents are also major consumers, though they are not in short supply, but there is always a process for influencing and eliminating the pain, and this time it’s accomplished in one step, which is also a good thing.
