This protective layer is the guarding power of the Vengeful Doll, which will trigger upon encountering curse-type powers.

The Duke is not yet clear what happens after triggering, but he hopes that day never comes and it remains as a backup.

After using the Vengeful Doll, he turned his gaze to the Blazing Sun Judgment, this single-handed sword.

The sword blade of the Blazing Sun Judgment is not made of common metal, but a strange, nearly translucent pale white energy body.

This energy is not static, it's like a bound, viscous liquid light, flowing and pulsating extremely slowly within the sword spine, emitting a gentle yet undeniable pure halo.

The sword is about three feet long, slightly wider than a typical Knight's sword, with smooth and elegant lines, embodying a sacred dignity.

The design of the sword guard is especially unique, not a traditional cross-guard, but two energy body-light cast wings slightly stretching upwards and outwards.

The entire Blazing Sun Judgment appears incredibly luxurious, merely holding it feels a bit too flashy and high-profile, looking not cheap.

But this single-handed sword is not just a flashy toy, its effects are equally powerful, at least for the Duke.

Holding the Blazing Sun Judgment, the Duke feels a warm sensation all over his body. The Blazing Sun Judgment, a Light Attribute Witchcraft Artifact, can automatically absorb Light Attribute Energy Particles in the surroundings.

This absorbed energy can automatically enter the Duke's body to heal his injuries, restore Spiritual Power, etc.

The Duke, when using Light Attribute Magic or Fighting Spirit, can also leverage the effect of the Blazing Sun Judgment to reduce consumption.

Inside the Blazing Sun Judgment are several Light Element Magics, which can be activated with just a bit of Magic Power.

Grasping the Blazing Sun Judgment, with a thought, the Duke spread a pair of broad and solid white wings at his back.

This is the Blazing Sun Judgment's inherent Light Attribute Magic, Bright Wings, capable of granting the user extremely fast flight speed.

The Duke waved the wings at his back once and soared into the sky, flying high above.

He tried to drive these white transparent wings to reach the ultimate speed, swiftly shuttling back and forth in the high air.

After a series of tests, the Duke was quite satisfied with the speed of these wings, not quite matching the speed of a Storm Dragon Eagle, but faster than most Level 1 beings.

At least ordinary Level 1 Mages certainly cannot possess such fast speed, sufficient for the Duke at present.

Previously, although he could fly by treading on yellow sand or leverage some Wind Attribute Magic for flight, the speed was still insufficient, not functional for real combat.

With Blazing Sun Judgment, it's much simpler; it doesn't need to be held in hand at all times, can be directly carried on the back and still use its inherent Bright Wings Magic.

The Duke retracted the wings and slowly landed on the deserted island's vacant area, gaining confidence in the speed and flexibility of Bright Wings.

His attention returned to the Blazing Sun Judgment in hand, diving his thoughts into the sluggish flowing liquid light within, sensing the other two magics it contained.

"Let's test this first, Light Cross Slash," the Duke muttered to himself, gripping the hilt tightly with both hands.

He summoned a trace of Magic Power into the sword blade, and the viscous liquid light within the sword spine instantly became lively, the flowing speed suddenly accelerating.

Blazing Sun Judgment emitted a slight humming, the air at the sword tip madly gathering Light Attribute Energy Particles, radiating an eye-dazzling yet non-burning light.

The Duke felt the power reach its peak, abruptly slashing forward.

Whoosh—!

A massively condensed, massive cross-shaped light blade made of pure Holy Light shot forth from the sword, the Light Cross being incredibly sharp at the edges, with the core's light most blazing, seemingly compressed of countless tiny sacred runes.

It tore through the air, emitting a pure and piercing sound of Breaking the Sky, shooting forward at a startling speed.

Where the Light Cross passed, the ground's sand and stone were purified into a patch of charred black by the dispersed energy, the air filled with a faint scent reminiscent of sunbaked freshness.

It directly hit a large rock in the distance, without deafening explosions, merely a crisp crack sounding like a hot knife slicing into tallow.

The light flashed briefly, at the rock's center distinctly appeared a deeply embedded, smooth-edge cross-shaped gap, the surrounding rock exhibiting a glass-like texture as if melted by high temperature and instantly cooled.

"Such strong penetrating ability..." the Duke observed this magic, "This power far exceeds typical Level 1 Magic, moreover, it activates swiftly, consumes little, with the intensity roughly around one hundred degrees."

One hundred degrees is already the strength the Duke releases using ordinary Level 1 Magic, and Light Cross Slash is merely a built-in magic of the Blazing Sun Judgment.

If the Duke infuses more Magic Power into it, he can further enhance the Light Cross Slash's intensity.

Light Cross Slash can also be strengthened with Light Attribute Fighting Spirit, both Wizards and Knights can use this Witchcraft Artifact, only requiring a high Light Attribute affinity.

Holding the Blazing Sun Judgment, the Duke can sense it absorbs Light Attribute Energy Particles using a very high Light Attribute affinity.

If one's Light Attribute affinity is insufficient, then they'll have to forcibly drive it by consuming their own Magic Power or Spiritual Power, causing significant strain.

Having finished testing Light Cross Slash, the Duke took a deep breath, injecting more Spiritual Power into the Blazing Sun Judgment, preparing to activate its last built-in magic, a killer move called Light Judgment.

This time, the Blazing Sun Judgment reacted completely differently.

The sword blade did not emit a humming, but a series of low yet majestic resonances, like a bell from the depths of heaven.

The light-forged wings at the sword guard suddenly brightened, stretching wider, gradually expanding, transforming into two enormous illusory wing shadows, slowly fluttering, scattering countless light dust.

The surrounding light rapidly dimmed, as if all the rays were being sucked into the sword body.

The Blazing Sun Judgment itself became like a small sun, radiating an intense light and overwhelming heat, with liquid light inside the blade boiling fiercely.

The Duke continued to infuse more of his own Magic Power into it to observe the effect of Light Judgment.

With a gentle wave of the wings at his back, he arrived over the sea beyond the deserted island.

"Light Judgment!" Seeing the accumulated energy on the sword blade reaching a peak, the Duke with a thought released this magic.

There was no sound, or rather, in that initial moment, all sounds were swallowed by the ultimate light and energy.
