Chapter 712: Vision of the Faithful
However, being born with Spellbind Eyes doesn\'t mean they can use them at will. Although they might be able to use some of their connate prowess, to utilize them fully, they need the secret knowledge of the Faery Human Race that they guide with the utmost security.
Only those with privilege, like the members of the Edgar Clan or the candidates of the Holy Children, can gain some level of access to their knowledge, while those from the branch families must pledge their absolute loyalty to the Edgar Clan before they are given the chance to learn the mysteries of Spellbind Eyes.
However, no matter their status, they don\'t get the entire knowledge. Instead, it was divided into parts, and then they had to prove themselves to the temple to earn the rest of it.
The Spellbind Eyes knowledge was divided into the Introduction, Initial, Intermediate, Advanced, and Core Sections. Both Percy and Rudolph had access to the Intermediate Section. In the introduction section, the awakening ranks of the Spellbind Eyes and their introduction about what they are capable of were written.
According to this section, the Spellbind Eyes has three awakening ranks. The Dormant Rank, where the Faery Human is born with the eyes and can utilize them to the minimum. Then, the awakening rank, where they start tapping deeper into their optical prowess. The Spell Rank is where they can use their eyes to see through illusions. And then the final rank, the Spellbind Rank, which has no context for it, was described as a legendary rank that no one was able to achieve.
The initial section of the knowledge of Spellbind Eyes contained a Universal Magic Scripture or just a single part of it. This universal magic scripture was called the Spellbind Arts of Holy Judge.
According to the historical texts of the Faery Humans, this scripture was bestowed to the first Faery Human by the Holy Justice God, and it has been passed down from generation to generation ever since.
Only by cultivating the Spellbind Arts of Holy Judge can the Spellbind Eyes\' power show its full potential, and it was essential for learning about the eyes\' abilities and prowess. Furthermore, the higher the comprehension of this scripture, the quicker the Spellbind Eyes will rank up.
This section also included insights from the old generations of Faery Humans that can greatly help the new Faery Humans progress and form their own insights. According to the ancestors of the Faery Humans, the Spellbind Eyes can evolve further, but the way to achieve it can only be paved by themselves; there are no shortcuts.
In the intermediate section, there was another part of the Spellbind Arts of Holy Justice, and it was all about seeing through illusions using the Spellbind Eyes and even creating illusions using them.
Just like how Percy, using just these three sections of the Spellbind Eyes Knowledge, created the secret technique and named it Vision of the Faithful!
This technique can create a powerful emotional resonance with others who are weaker than the user, amplifying their faith in the Holy Justice God and strengthening their connection to holy magic.
The Vision of the Faithful creates a positive feedback loop, where the amplified faith fuels stronger holy magic, which in turn strengthens their faith energy further. This can lead to a significant overall boost in the potency of holy magic rituals and abilities!
Not only that, but by unifying the emotions of others, the Vision of the Faithful can bolster morale and create a sense of unbreakable unity among others, which could be invaluable for military purposes or large-scale religious ceremonies.
The user could potentially use the Vision of the Faithful to influence outsiders. By amplifying positive emotions associated with the Holy Justice God, they could convert non-believers or sway them to their cause easily.
The user of this technique then acts as a conduit for the emotions of the group. They use their Spellbind Eyes to identify and amplify the most potent feelings of faith and devotion within the participants.
But the true potential of this technique was that as the group\'s emotions intensified, the user\'s faith and connection to holy magic also grew stronger. This creates a symbiotic effect, pushing the entire group to new heights of spiritual power, especially the user of this technique.
Nonetheless, there were still drawbacks, and it wasn\'t without a cost because only the user possessed the ability to initiate and control the Vision of the Faithful. This makes them highly valuable but also creates a single point of failure.
Like susceptible minds, the Vision of the Faithful relies on manipulating emotions. Individuals with strong wills or opposing beliefs might resist its influence.
Not to mention overzealousness; if not carefully controlled, the amplified emotions could lead to fanaticism or destructive behavior. The user needs to ensure the faith remains focused and righteous.
That\'s why Percy wanted only someone with a righteous heart to have this technique and didn\'t want to expose it to the temple. With his own insight, he decided that only a single person should use it, or there would be huge conflicts among others if there were many users searching for people to amplify their faith power and holy magic.
Percy wanted the Vision of the Faithful to be incorporated into regular religious ceremonies within the temple structure. This would help maintain a strong connection to the Holy Justice God and bolster the overall power of the Temple.
But he knew if the Faery Humans found this technique\'s true potential, the Vision of the Faithful could be used to train and motivate soldiers before battle and even turn them into suicidal maniacs who only know how to kill without caring about their own lives. The emotional unity and amplified faith would make them formidable opponents!
Although he wasn\'t sure if the Faery Humans would do as he suspected them, it became clear when he explained subtly this technique, which ended up creating a powerful incentive for Faery Humans and even drawing those bishops\' attention.
\'This guy...\' Jacob\'s eyes shimmered with astonishment when he heard this from Autarch, \'He could\'ve easily overthrown everyone in the temple if he wanted to with this technique, but he decided to waste it on something so meaningless. He truly lacked ambition, and his head was full of fanatic
faith for his god...\'
Jacob sighed ruefully as he again compared Percy to the Old Priest and shook his head before his eyes shimmered with resolved, \'Don\'t worry, I\'ll make sure to use this technique to its full potential and even turn it into something far greater.
"Then there is also this power of faith they got after worshiping the Holy Justice God, but they had to perform a ritual first to enable themselves to do it. I had a feeling that I shouldn\'t do that. Furthermore, I also need to get my hands on the complete Spellbind Arts of Holy Judge!\'
