Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1269: The Terror Descent

Xu Feng felt like all the effort he had put into achieving the Origin Cleric class was all worth it.

The power obtained from just the three branches had already made him an unkillable healer.

Unless a player could nuke his health points and pierce through the passive barrier he got, then they could keep dreaming about trying to kill him.

Despite having such power, there was actually still one person whom he was uncertain about. And she would be none other than Carmen.

”Let me check the branch 4 skills again.” He cleared his throat and made a double check on the branch 4 version.

Branch 4: Origin’s Retribution (Ultimate Reversal & Amplification)

The true embodiment of divine paradox — sanctity forged into destruction.

Tier 1 Skills

Cycle of Despair – Reverses all healing done in a wide area into damage based on Origin stat.

Sanctuary Light – AoE damage ignoring defense; synergizes with Origin’s Wrath.

Absolute Undoing – Removes all buffs and heals, dealing devastating damage scaled by total values.

Wrathful Restoration – Deals 55% of enemies’ current HP as damage multiplied by Origin stat.

Tier 2 Skills

Origin’s Equilibrium (Divine Duality Form) – Toggles between Creation Mode (all damage heals allies) and Destruction Mode (all heals deal damage). Each toggle increases Origin Power by 1 stack (max 6).

Judgment Reversal (Synergy: Absolute Undoing Upgrade) – When cast after Absolute Undoing, instantly revives one fallen ally and converts 50% of removed energy into a divine retaliation strike.

Genesis Collapse (Ultimate Tier Skill) – The user channels the collective vitality of all beings within 50m. For 5s, healing and damage across the battlefield are intertwined. Healing an ally inflicts mirror damage on nearby foes, and damaging an enemy heals nearby allies.

Cooldown: 15 minutes.

Besides these branch skills, there was also the transformation mode Origin’s Wrath.

Origin’s Wrath

Type: Offensive / True Damage

Description: Channels the pure energy of the Origin, piercing all defenses and nullifying immunity effects.

Synergy:

When combined with Sanctuary Light, it creates Radiant Purge.

When combined with Divine Cataclysm, it creates Eclipser Judgment Beam (true hybrid annihilation strike).

”Now that’s what you call a major power up!” He exclaimed loudly.

This power-up could be summarized in a simple chart table.

Reversal Mastery: 4 Tier 1 Skills, 3 Tier 2 Skills

Withering Surge: 4 Tier 1 Skills, 3 Tier 2 Skills

Catastrophic Vitality: 4 Tier 1 Skills, 3 Tier 2 Skills

Origin’s Retribution: 4 Tier 1 Skills, 3 Tier 2 Skills

A total of 16 Tier 1 Skills and 12 Tier 2 Skills were now available in this upgrading haul.

However, the Origin Hybrid Path wasn’t the only skill Xu Feng had.

He also got the original Cleric Path skills and the Phantasm Skills he obtained from the Phantasm Sea Legacy adventure.

With all these skills on hand, he really wanted to test out his power.

”I should message Carmen and have a one-on-one battle with her.” Out of everyone Xu Feng knew, only Carmen truly qualified as his main opponent.

Moreover, she was the only other Tier 2 player that he knew.

And precisely because he wasn’t the first player to achieve Tier 2, there was no system achievement prompt.

’Ugh, once late to the run, always late if the person in front never stops running.’ He sighed in defeat. In the previous timeline, he also failed to achieve many of the first player achievement categories.

It wasn’t that he was weak or garbage, but he lacked the opportunity and luck.

Just because one had advanced knowledge didn’t mean things were going to be an easy breeze. One still had to work their asses off to achieve satisfactory results.

Sometime later, Xu Feng exited the dark dimension and returned to the Divine World.

As soon as he returned, he felt his connection with the Divine World seemed more synchronized and familiar.

The mana surrounding him also had its potency increased substantially.

He stretched his body and made a series of movements, finding them to be even smoother and fluid than previously.

”As expected of Tier 2. The difference between Tier 2 and Tier 1 is really no joke.” He smiled in satisfaction.

The mental concentration was also less taxing. This Tier Advancement had enabled him to multitask even further and beyond.

Sometime later, Xu Feng opened his system message. He was about to text Carmen to meet him in the Haven Wind Town at the Training Hall.

However, he didn’t expect Carmen to send him a message first.

Lunar Wraith: Guild Leader, quickly come to this location. We’ve encountered a weird monster that has very high attributes and health points. Not even the Siege Colossuses could compare to it!

”A weird monster with very high attributes and health points?” Xu Feng furrowed his brows and frowned. The fact that Carmen personally messaged him for help meant this was no simple monster.

The location that she sent was also in the central region of Twilight Glades.

Any monsters in the central region were all level 75 and above. Based on Carmen’s ability, those shouldn’t pose a problem to her.

’Could it be an open raid boss monster?’ He hurriedly paid the silver coin fee to teleport to their area.

Unfortunately, he only appeared in the inner region and not the center region.

What alarmed him further was the system prompt warning.

[System Notification: The central region has been transformed into a special environment! Teleportation is temporarily disabled! If players wish to enter the center region, they must enter on foot!]

”Damn, it’s really something special.” Exasperated, Xu Feng wondered if Carmen was really the protagonist. To accidentally trigger a special event every now and then made him question her identity.

He shook his head and advanced forward. As soon as he entered the central region, Xu Feng was hit with multiple warnings.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[System Notification: The Terror Descent is ongoing! All attributes are halved, and movement utilities are disabled! Death penalties are quadruple, and players who die without getting revived in a timely manner would be locked out of the Divine World for 3 days!]
