In an open space, three hundred mortals who had been well-fed and rested loudly recited the liturgy praising the Lord of the Dawn.
As they reached the line "willing to devote everything to the purification of evil," a faint Holy Light began to emanate from within them, condensing into many humanoid figures entirely composed of light.
Some of these figures were particularly dazzling and lifelike, while others were dim.
But without exception, they had all mastered the power of the Holy Light, and it had taken only three days.
However, after the Holy Light materialized, many began to show white hair and a few more wrinkles on their faces.
Masstar looked at the scene before him with considerable satisfaction.
This was the purpose of the three hundred mortals: to sacrifice their lifespan as the price to summon the Celestial Guardians, transforming from fragile mortals into mighty warriors in a short time.
