Hero class.

Even with what Joshua had seen, he couldn't help frowning.

[Chaos Guardian], as the name suggests, should be the same camp profession as the [Light Order Holy Guard] of the Far Sea Holy Mountain and the [Balance Judge] of the Xishan Royal Court, although it is rare, it is not unavoidable, at least the Holy Warrior of the gods can be regarded as half a camp profession, but it is not so extreme.

The real focus is on this heroic class.

Just as characters are divided into high and low levels, and items are judged by rank, occupations are also divided into strong and weak.

For example, peasants and militiamen are the most ordinary [civilian professions], while warriors with various trainings, thieves who are proficient in unlocking theft, and rangers who wander among the wilderness are [official professions], while spellcasters such as mages and priests are different, because the talents required are relatively rare, so they are born [elite professions].

Every profession can be advanced and transferred, the militia can be advanced to a warrior, can also be transferred to a mercenary, if you are confident and talented, it is okay to be a mage, in the continent of strife, people's choice is free, everything you want to work depends on personal interests, and civilian, formal, elite, excellent, extraordinary these five levels, is the advancement process of ordinary professionals.

But just like spellcasters, there are some special classes that can only be obtained through talent and inheritance, and [The Chosen] and [Hero Class] are such representatives.

A person who is born to control the flames, no matter what class he advances, is so different, and can even sublimate it with his own ability, this is the so-called [Chosen One], but the [Hero Class] is different from it, it does not need talent, but some kind of inheritance that carries power.

Just as the [Brave] needs to hold the Demon Slayer Sword, and the [Earthshaker] needs a large map tom, each heroic class needs a similar inheritance and enough talent to be incorporated, and it is obvious that the Chaos Warden, who needs the [Seal Guardian's Azure Orb] to be inaugurated is also such a class.

Opening his right hand, Joshua looked at the cyan gem in his palm and couldn't help but sigh.

In his previous life, he had done at least ten or more complex task chains, and even had time to slaughter a dozen Eye Demon Elders in the middle of the process to gather all the materials for the knowledge ceremony, so that he could get the opportunity to become a hero class [Rune Swordsman] and use it to comprehend the ultimate meaning.

And now, an opportunity to take on the profession of a hero is right in front of his eyes.

"System, Identification."

Joshua rarely uses the system's abilities in ordinary times, even in the face of gold-level enemies, not because of the rejection of things that cannot be mastered, but simply because his rich experience is enough to deal with most situations, and he has no habit of using the system after becoming a legend in his previous life, causing the warrior to always forget that he still has such a thing.

But now, in the face of this strange thing that he had never heard of in his previous life, he could only rely on its power.

【… Item identification... Origin knowledge is successful, curiosity knowledge is unsuccessful, historical knowledge is successful, and you get a piece of information related to employment. 】

[Appraisal Report: Origin Strange Artifact - Azure Orb of the Seal Guardian]

[Origin: As the sages said, even if you have sunk into the bottomless abyss of eternal chaos, there is an initial fire, which may not burn, but can carry the power of order. 】

[Strange Thing: As an unburned fire, the Azure Orb contains ......]

[History: Thousands of years ago, the sage found the Azure Orb buried in the mountains in the depths of the bottomless abyss, and he gave it to the Third Saint, and gave it the mission of calming the tide of chaos and sealing the entrance to the abyss. Since the Lost War, the Azure Orb has lost its sight to the world, but the legacy of the Keeper of Chaos continues silently. 】

[Summary: The orb contains a great power of order, but it cannot be derived through conventional methods. 】

[Inauguration Information: The Blood of Chaos, the Source of Fire.] 】

Joshua looked sideways at Hotaru, who was silent—this Divine Machine Girl had been in a rather dazed state since she entered this cemetery, and after thinking about it carefully, the warrior couldn't help but feel that what he had done was too inconsiderate, after all, there were so many wreckage of Divine Machines here, and it was indeed a big shock for Hotaru, who had only come out of the Sealing Blade Room for more than a month, to suddenly see so many corpses of the same kind.

Ringing his head, he looked around, and there was nothing in the pale sky, a pale that seemed to be endless without a dome, and the corresponding was a black earth with many tombs and stone monuments.

"The hero profession that was given away for nothing, it seems that there is no problem, how could I not accept it...... Anyway, whether it's evil or justice, I don't care what it does to guard order and take care of chaos. ”

Breathing in the unflowing, incomparably dry air, Joshua stared at the inscription in front of him, suddenly laughed, and said softly: "Whether it is killing orcs or demonic beasts, as long as it allows me to fight, fight stronger enemies...... As long as that's it. ”

Since this is the path you have chosen, it does not seem to be a bad choice.

So the voice rang out.

"I hereby swear—I, Joshua Radcliffe, will guard all evil creatures until eternal doom."

With his right hand clasped together, he gripped the cyan orb tightly.

"Inauguration, Keeper of Chaos."

- Sigh

The sound of the wind, like a sigh, came from a windless world.

Colorless, colorless, just a simple light emanating from Joshua's right hand, it had no temperature or lethality, it was extremely gentle, as if it didn't exist, but it literally illuminated the world.

With the warrior as the origin, this light began to spread rapidly like a semicircular cover, enveloping all the tombs in an instant, reaching the end of the narrow passage of time and space, the forces of chaos and order facing each other at the edge, but no waves were raised.

The wind is blowing.

With the flow of air, a few bluish-white points of light slowly peeked out from under all the gray tombstones, and then floated, surging towards the warrior's right hand in the direction of the wind, converging in the clenched palm.

Joshua seemed to see the memories of everyone—men and women with black hair and red eyes, who were born, raised, learned to fight, fought in this land, fulfilled their duties, guarded their people, and then faced Aragami or Kuroshio, calmly or unwillingly.

The secrets of the evil gods cannot be told to everyone, but the seal needs to be guarded, and they who choose to take on this responsibility are undoubtedly worthy heroes.

The aperture rotated, expanding to the limit, and the colorless light soared, then contracted violently, and the entire space-time narrow channel suddenly dimmed, and this glow merged all the blue-white points of light into the orb, and then shrouded Joshua's body.

The power poured in continuously, and the red text kept refreshing in front of his eyes, and finally froze into a dense subtitle.

[You have successfully inaugurated the hero class - Chaos Guardian]

[Your Class Level +5]

【Warning! You haven't met the unlock conditions! 】

[Class Talents: Order Aura, Faction Detection, (Locked), (Locked)]

[Class Traits: Unlit Fire, (Locked), (Locked)]

[Class Skill Tree: Purification, Order, Guardian (Assimilated into Extreme Meaning)]

You will need to complete a class mission to unlock level rewards and class talents and traits. 】

【Mission: Ritual of Purification】

[With the bloodline soaked in chaos and the initial firelight, the azure orb longs for sacrifices. 】

[Objective: Kill a Chaos Faction target with silver or higher.] 0/1】

He didn't care about unlocking the task, Joshua just closed his eyes and quietly felt the power surging in his body.

This suddenly appeared, and the power transmitted from the Azure Orb was extremely close to his bloodline, as if it was originally one, there was no sense of disobedience, it had been integrated into the body, and became a part of the warrior's original strength.

"So this is the resonance I felt at the beginning, the power of order accumulated by the ancestors of the Radcliffe family in the past generations, after the death of the holder, returned to the Azure Orb, and then the next generation inherited it through bloodline...... I see, if I die, this power will also return to the Azure Orb, and then it will be inherited by my descendants. ”

Like a bonfire that has been passed down from generation to generation, even if the firewood burns to ashes, there is still a remnant of the fire that can be passed on to the next generation.

Joshua opened his eyes, and his red pupils were as bright as flames. Now, all the light disappeared, and the narrow passage of time and space suddenly returned to its original appearance, and he held the Azure Orb in his hand, which had stopped emitting light, and was silent.

Turning his head to look at the cemetery, his gaze stayed for more than ten seconds, the warrior turned his head expressionlessly, and then, without saying a word, he strode towards the door behind him and left here, and the silver-haired god machine also followed closely. As she walked through the portal, she glanced back at the tombstones, and then disappeared into the blue light.

What should you do as a warrior in the face of a respectable deceased?

There is no need to pay tribute, because practicing their philosophy is the best sacrifice, and there is no need to remember it, because their mission is with you.

……

Black earth, pale sky, gray stone monuments.

The dark blue door vanished, and the wind from the Azure Orb died down, and the cemetery in the narrow passage of time and space returned to its original silence.

Fire, which brings light and heat.

The beginning of human civilization began with fire.

In that time when darkness covered the earth, the ancestors of mankind raised burning torches to dispel darkness with light.

Father to son, son to grandson, this fire has been passed on in the alternation of civilizations from beginning to end. Even death can't extinguish it, and there is always a spark hidden in the burned black ash. And these sparks will always be lit again.

O children of mankind, let the light continue.
