Chapter 168 An unexpected surprise

Nick's heart sank. There were 20 to 30 patrolmen outside, plus a sheriff who used the Rock Breathing Method as his main breathing method. They were all killed so quickly, and they themselves had two wounded. The situation was not optimistic.

He exhaled, letting out the heavy emotions: "How many enemies are there? How did the sheriff die?"

Del rushed over and said, "Two enemies, they seem to know the sheriff, they attacked the sheriff."

Klauen stood up. Some black pus and blood flowed out of his wound, but now the blood was bright red as usual, as if he had only suffered an ordinary external injury.

He moved his arms and legs, and felt no signs of paralysis from the poison, nor swelling in his wounds. "I can still fight."

Perhaps it was because of his diligent practice of the Golden Light Mantra that his body had the ability to purify itself.

"Bang!"

A tall and strong figure fell from above and hit the ground at the entrance of the cave.

Another thinner figure floated down and said gently, "Derby, be elegant."

"No, Acrylic, I hate false elegance. Now I find that wildness is the real thing."

Two men walked in, their original human forms transformed.

The tall and strong man's body grew taller again and expanded a lot. The clothes he was wearing shattered and fell all over the ground.

His face was elongated, with two goat-like black and red horns on his forehead, and short black hair all over his body.

The originally upright legs became bent, like sheep's legs, and the feet turned into hooves.

The skinny man's body shape didn't change much, except that he became taller, and his skin changed from sickly pale to bluish gray. His ears became slightly elongated, with pointed tips.

Two fleshy wings with black wing membranes stretched out from his back and opened, blocking out the light from the cave entrance.

The moment he saw the enemy falling, Clown released the Golden Armor Technique on his teammates.

Stacking up armor before a battle is a habit that has been ingrained in his bones.

"Hello, investigators! Are you satisfied with the hospitality you have received over the past two days?"

Acrylic's eyes glowed a faint red light, and the gentleness in his words was gone, leaving only a murderous intent.

As he spoke, the candlelight around him twisted and swayed, as if a strong wind had blown in.

The air turned chilly, and several grey shadows floated down from the dome of bones. A distant and fierce laugh could be heard from within the space.

He glanced at the monsters on the ground, then saw that two of them were obviously injured, and felt relieved.

The claws and teeth of the flesh and blood monster created this time contain blood poison. Anyone injured by it will definitely greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the injured person.

Now that the enemy has injured two second-level transcendents, the other one must have also wasted a lot of physical strength.

On our side, we have two Level 2 transcendents in their prime, so I have the advantage.

"Why waste your time talking to them! I want to taste the delicious liver of a second-level transcendent."

Del's body transformed into an afterimage and rushed towards Del and Torres.

He wanted to get rid of the two small bugs on the first level first and enjoy the appetizer before the big meal.

"Protect yourself," Nick immediately rushed forward, waving his shield to meet the horned monster rushing towards him.

He judged the speed of both the enemy and his own side, and swung his shield forward with all his might.

Derby paused for a moment as he approached at high speed, as if he was not affected by any inertia.

He moved sideways, dodging the oncoming shield strike, then extended his claws and slapped his opponent forward.

As a former exorcist priest, he had also played with shields and knew how to defend against these moves.

After doing this, he accelerated again and rushed towards several enemies.

As an insider of the church, Peter knew that the second-level priest's iron armor had amazing defense. Coupled with the defense of the fire spirit shield, it would take a long time for the two to determine the winner.

He decided to deal with the wounded and the weak first, so that he could enjoy the appetizers while also undermining the enemy's morale.

As Nick was slapped away, Acrylic flashed his wings and rushed forward. He raised his arms and stretched out his claws, grabbing the enemy's eye sockets.

Through communication with Derby, he understood where the enemy's few weaknesses were, and therefore perfectly connected with his teammates' attacks.

Crown calmly watched the enemy rushing towards him. He held the sword with both hands and performed the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, releasing bullet time.

His brain was working rapidly, and the enemy's movements looked like a slow-motion movie in his eyes.

Closer and closer.

He rushed forward, and after two steps he accelerated to his fastest speed.

The two collided at an extremely fast speed, and Crown's speed was beyond the enemy's expectations.

Didn't this guy have a leg injury? A thought came to Derby's mind, and then he felt his thoughts pause.

Under the impact of the huge relative speed, Crown's sword penetrated into the enemy's chest, pierced the spine and came out from the back.

He then activated time standstill and his breathing method changed to fire breath.

The fiery source of life was injected into the weapon, and the Star Steel Sword was like a red-hot iron, stirring in the enemy's chest.

The enemy's internal organs were like smoked lamb skewers on the barbecue, and the aroma of protein was everywhere.

He did not hold back at all, and as soon as he met the enemy he launched a thundering attack, taking him away directly.

Derby felt that he had regained consciousness, but it quickly faded away and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

Crown did not move forward. The gray shadow floating in the air was an evil spirit, and he still had to take care of his injured teammates.

But not going forward did not mean that he could not help Nick. He immediately released the Sunfire Technique, and the golden talisman rushed towards the enemy with wings on his back.

He knew that his teammates had amazing defenses and that the Sunfire Technique had limited damage to normal creatures, so he attacked without restraint.

Acrylic was fighting Nick with his speed advantage. Although his first attack was well timed, it did not produce a decisive result, leaving only a few wounds on the enemy's face. He was not in a hurry, because his claws were also stained with blood poison.

The scales of time are on his side, he just needs to add fuel to the fire and make the enemy's blood flow faster.

When the golden flames flashed around him, he was completely stunned.

As if looking directly into the scorching sun at noon, Acrylic's eyes shrank unconsciously and his speed paused.

His body was ablaze with fire, and then he was hit hard in the abdomen by Nick's flail.

Like a baseball being hit, he hit the wall heavily.

Nick had already rushed forward, swinging the flail at his enemy's head.

The iron ball grew bigger in Acrylic's eyes. He dodged it desperately, but only his head was hit and one of his shoulders was broken.

Knowing that he had no chance of winning, a vicious look flashed across his face.

He did not dodge the incoming attack. Instead, he opened his arms as if to hug something and quickly uttered a few words.

He would sacrifice everything he had, his life and soul, to the gods and curse all the living people here.

Acrylic's head was smashed, but he had completed the sacrifice.

The statue of the evil god became extremely dark, swallowing up the candlelight.

Crown heard what seemed like thousands of people howling crazily, and the twisted and evil sounds echoed in the hall.

For no reason, an eerie and depressing feeling arose in his heart, as if he was staring into a huge, dark abyss filled with endless darkness.

His skin was covered with goose bumps due to stress, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and cold sweat ran down his back.

Everyone also noticed that something was wrong.

Jason yelled, "Oh no! Get out now! The cultists must have communicated with the evil god."

Crown picked up Jason and ran towards the exit.

Torres felt his legs and feet go weak, and he couldn't run at all, so he could only move slowly towards the cave entrance.

When they ran to the exit, Nick was already standing there: "We can't get out."

The exit seemed to have become the background of the wall, and there was an invisible thing blocking everyone from going out.

Nick threw down his shield, gripped the flail tightly with both hands, and smashed it hard against the invisible wall.

Crown looked back and found that the bones on the altar were floating, but the pool of blood was still restrained by an invisible thing.

The blood seemed to be boiling, bubbling out continuously.

He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked, "Jason, what should we do in this situation?"

It was obvious that their teammates knew some secrets that they didn't know.

"I don't know, I've never encountered this situation," Jason's face turned pale.

Del asked weakly: "Could it be the arrival of the evil god?"

"Impossible. If it is really the evil god that has descended, we have already been alienated."

At this time, white bones began to spiral, and skulls also fell from the dome. They slowly merged into a huge torso.

The oppressive feeling in the air became more and more solemn, and Crown felt that his whole body began to tremble, as if something terrifying was reviving.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He continuously released the Sun Flame Technique at the bones. Amidst the shining golden light, the bones that were hit turned into black powder and fell from the air.

More bones fell from the dome, and white bones emerged from the pool of blood, floating in the air.

Soon, the golden talisman was exhausted, but the trend of bone fusion was not interrupted at all.

An evil laugh echoed in the space, as if mocking his fruitless efforts.

The Evil God Arrives Crown saw the dark stone statue and had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Del, give me the hammer."

He took his teammate's hammer and rushed towards the evil statue. In his opinion, this thing should be a medium.

Time was running out, so he didn't have time to think too much and rushed to the statue and smashed it hard.

He used bullet time, giant bear breathing, and charged attack, all the bonuses he could release.

He didn't know what kind of stone the statue was made of, but he couldn't even break one of its tentacles.

Perhaps his behavior angered some kind of existence, and an angry howl came to his ears.

The bones in the air began to fuse at an accelerated rate, and the oppressive atmosphere seemed to be real.

Crown felt like he was standing on a snowy mountain. An avalanche had already formed on the top of the mountain and was pouring down. They didn't have much time left.

He dropped the sledgehammer and reached out to touch the base of the tentacle on the statue.

Unexpectedly, he felt a slippery and soft texture, as if he was holding the tentacles of a real octopus.

Hallucinations appeared in his eyes. Countless tentacles emerged from the abyss and entangled him. He was dragged into the abyss without any resistance.

A calming coolness brought his muddled consciousness back to his mind, and he briefly regained clarity and remembered his original purpose.

He communicated with the Golden Light Mantra to create a crystal ball in his sea of ​​consciousness, and Sunfire Liquid began to secrete from his hands.

Regardless of the loss, Crown took out all the stock at once, and golden liquid flowed out.

The tentacles that were once extremely hard began to show signs of melting, and angry howls came to his ears again.

When the flame liquid ran out that day, a basketball-sized hole had melted out of the stone statue.

The bones that were fluttering in the air have fallen to the ground, and the invisible walls of the cave have opened up.

His consciousness became hazy and he felt slightly dizzy.

Nick and Del ran over, picked him up, and carried him out of the cave.

Crown rested in the sun for an hour before his confused consciousness became clear.

He immediately visualized the Golden Light Mantra twice, and then drove the steam locomotive towards Rhine City.

. . . .

Holy Fire Cathedral, the holding room of the Court of Appeal.

Crown gave a bitter smile, he didn't expect that he would end up in such a place again.

But this time, each member of their team was given a small room, and no one ran away.

Nick did not go back to the Security Bureau, but went directly to the church to report the situation to Archbishop Flanders.

The archbishop attached great importance to it and sent two third-level bishops to York Town overnight to verify the situation. They were temporarily detained.

Clown had no intention of sleeping and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra.

No words were spoken that night.

The next day, after the hour of Mao, Crown summoned a golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 46385/50000; Level 1]

What happened? The efficiency of the Golden Light Spell has more than doubled? He was stunned. The unexpected surprise came too suddenly.

In the morning, they were given a purification ceremony, after which everyone underwent a test of soul purity.

All his teammates were released, and Crown was placed in a more advanced holding cell.

. . . .

There were several bishops sitting in the Archbishop of Flanders' room.

Nick said anxiously: "Archbishop, what happened to Crown?"

"Soul pollution, the test showed that there is a deep dark shadow in his soul. The evil god you met this time is not any known one, and it is highly polluting.

Both bishops sensed endless malice from the place where you last fought. This evil god is more terrifying than you imagined.

Unless he is given a higher level purification ceremony, otherwise..."

Flanders didn't continue, but his meaning was clear.

"Then hold a higher-level purification ceremony. We must save him. He was contaminated so badly because of our team."

Nick excitedly recounted what his teammates had done.

Hearing that the other party actually reached out and touched the statue directly, Cavendish sighed slightly. He also went to Yorktown to participate in the investigation, and he was secretly shocked by the pollution he felt from the remains of the statue.

Fanny held Nick back and said, "Calm down. The church will not give up the lives of those who made sacrifices. The problem now is that there is not enough material for a higher-level purification ceremony. He must hold on for a while."

"Where and where can I find the missing materials?"

"Currently, the materials do not exist in this world, only in the Spiritual Ruins."

. . . .

In the detention room, a silver-white light similar to that of a purification array was shining.

Nick explained the current situation and said carefully, "There is not enough material for the high-level purification ceremony. We can only wait for the next full moon night to obtain it from the spirit ruins between illusion and reality. During this time, you can only rely on yourself."

Clown was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "I understand, but I don't feel any discomfort."

Nick sighed and said nothing.

Pollution is a subtle process, and by the time we notice it, it may be too late to reverse the situation.

"How long will I be detained? In addition to restrictions on my personal freedom, are there any other restrictions? Will the food supply be sufficient?"

Nick shook his head and forced a smile, "How could you be hungry? Just eat as much as you want. There is plenty of food and holy water."

It feels good. Is this considered a paid vacation?! Clown nodded, and was about to take this opportunity to improve the level of the Golden Light Curse.

I will resume normal updates later. I found that the recent plot has gone a bit off track and lost the essence of the experience. I need to get back on track 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
