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 similar 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 .
Ancilanco was very pleased with Kieran's seriousness because he knew he had succeeded in fooling Kieran .
"My child, do you want more? Come, come forth! Enter my kingdom, not only will you gain unexpected knowledge, you will be granted eternal life as well!"
Ancilanco 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 Ancilanco 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 Ancilanco, it was the [Knights of Plague Body Tempering Art]!
"He is remembering Knights of Plague Body Tempering Art?!"
The thought appeared instantaneously in Ancilanco'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, Ancilanco hated the thought of giving up just like that .
Time flew as Ancilanco was soaking in his own hesitation .
Gradually, the stolen Dawn Force was slipping away quickly and up to a point where Ancilanco had reached his enduring limits, so did his patience .
"Come my child! Come to me!"
The plague tried to bewitch Kieran again with his words .
As he spoke, a faint gray color started to come 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 blank stare suddenly stopped his motions .
His hands fell back down to a casual state, his eyes were glaring 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 display of the [Knights of Plague Body Tempering Art] .
"YOU LIED TO ME?!"
Ancilanco growled angrily after being stunned for a while .
The small chapel shook, splashing countless clouds of dust around it following the angry growl but Kieran didn't care about all of that .
His eyes were scanning the display of the [Knights of Plague Body Tempering Art], while comparing it with the memories in his brain .
Kieran's vigilant character had determined that his work would be meticulous and mindful, especially when it was related 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 outcome should he go wrong, be it being crippled or paralyzed .
Enraged, Ancilanco saw Kieran was still remembering the [Knights of Plague Body Tempering] even when he was retreating, his rage grew even stronger .
Similar 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!" Ancilanco shouted furiously .
But… it was just that .
After the grand earthquake, there wasn't a follow-up attack of the same caliber . The enraged Ancilanco 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 replay all the techniques related to the [Knights of Plague 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 Ancilanco was being restricted otherwise he wouldn't have lured him with such a "mild" way . Besides, Ancilanco'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 outcome reason was .
The secrets related 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 explanation about any such thing .
On the contrary, Transcendence [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]'s details were displayed before his eyes with utmost details .
[Name: Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Arts (Transcendence)]

…
The increase of all attributes started the familiar warm stream in Kieran's body .
A full 20 seconds later when the warm stream faded away, Kieran finally got used to his powered up body .
The powerful Spirit allowed him to glance 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, like lamps illuminating the darkness .
Kieran's body was lit up part by part, expelling the original darkness and chaos that resided in him .
