Yoshimoto also raised his shotgun and shot at his targets one by one.
He shouted excitedly: "This thing is much more useful than a dagger!"
Daisy had never seen such a weapon and was shocked.
What the hell is this thing? A single strike from it can have the power of fourth-level magic.
Just when everyone was fighting fiercely, suddenly a sharp and piercing sound rang out.
Those guys who were originally madly attacking Merlin and the other two seemed to have heard some kind of command and stopped attacking instantly. Instead, they turned around and began to run away desperately, retreating quickly in all directions.
How could Merlin easily let go of these guys who dared to attack him? He immediately expanded his own territory without hesitation.
"Expanding the field? Equivalent exchange!"
Following Merlin's loud shout, a golden halo of light instantly spread out from under his feet like ripples.
When Gibberne and Daisy saw this scene, they were both stunned, their eyes full of shock.
Merlin looked at the scope of his own territory and frowned slightly, as if he felt it was not enough.
Then, he quickly took out several alchemical equipment from his storage ring and shouted in a low voice: "Sacrifice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, these priceless alchemical equipment, worth more than 100,000 gold coins in total, instantly turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.
Then, the size of Merlin's domain suddenly doubled, like a big net, instantly covering all the fleeing guys.
"Don't move!" Merlin sacrificed five pieces of alchemical equipment again. As the golden light flashed in the field, the fleeing attackers were like being cast under a spell. They were instantly unable to move, and remained frozen in place in their fleeing posture.
Within the realm, nothing escapes the perception of the Releaser.
Merlin instantly noticed a person hiding in the bell tower. This person's aura was obviously different from the others, and he looked like the leader of this group.
At this moment, he was holding a strange bell in his hand, and his whole body was frozen in place, motionless.
Merlin smiled coldly and waved his hand in the air. In an instant, the space around him seemed to reverse.
The guy holding the bell on the bell tower and all the other attackers appeared in front of Merlin in an instant.
"Come, let me see who you are!" Merlin said as he reached out to take off the other's hood.
Just as his hand was about to touch the other person's hood, the guy holding the bell suddenly released enormous divine power from his body.
Dazzling light gushed out of his eyes, mouth, ears and nose like a fountain, and the same thing happened to the other attackers.
Merlin saw this scene and reacted very quickly, raising his hand suddenly.
In an instant, it seemed as if the heaven and earth turned upside down, and the group of attackers instantly appeared in the sky above the imperial capital.
Then, like a bloody fireworks display, the attackers blew themselves up.
Blood flowers bloomed brilliantly in the sky, like blooming blood-colored flowers, and then turned into blood rain falling from the sky. The scene was extremely horrifying.
Merlin looked at the bell falling from the sky, and with a casual move of his hand, the bell fell steadily into his hand.
He looked at it carefully and saw that the bell had an ancient shape and its surface was engraved with mysterious shamanic images and texts.
The pictures and texts include solemn scenes of worshiping Mother Earth, strange symbols representing the soul, and lifelike wolf patterns, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.
As Merlin was observing the bell carefully, Daisy and Gibbon approached cautiously, their faces full of vigilance. Daisy was the first to ask Merlin: "Who are you?"
Merlin put away the bell, then looked at Daisy and Gibberne and asked, "I should be the one asking you this. Why did you two attack me in the first place? And what is the connection between those guys and the Ancient God Cult?"
Daisy and Gibberne looked at each other, as if they were exchanging some opinions. After a moment, Daisy slowly said, "We are from the Temple of War."
"Temple of the God of War? Your leader shouldn't be called Shura or Dragon King, right?" Merlin couldn't help but sarcastically complained.
"What are you talking about?" Daisy and Gibberne looked confused, totally unable to understand what Merlin was saying.
Merlin waved his hands and said, "It's okay, just think of it as me having a seizure. Then tell me, why did the people from the Temple of War attack me in the first place?"
Daisy took out the blood crystal, and as she slowly moved closer to Merlin, the blood-red color of the crystal gradually deepened, and finally turned into an inky black color.
She pointed at the crystal and explained, "We were planning to hunt down the guys who attacked us just now. This is a blood crystal. Anyone who possesses the blood of the God of War can be sensed by this crystal."
Bloodline of the God of War? Merlin was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be related to the bloodline of the God of War.
"You mean to say that those guys who attacked us just now actually have the blood of the God of War? How can there be so many?" Merlin asked in shock.
"That's right, but the ones who attacked us were not of the pure bloodline of the God of War, but guys created by some unknown method. You should have felt that they lack emotions, just like tools." Yoshimoto nodded and said with a serious expression.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I have a sense of familiarity." Merlin suddenly remembered the time he was attacked in the premium dormitory of the Arcane Academy, as well as the previous attacks. Could it be that he was targeted because of his bloodline as the God of War?
"A few years ago, a group of guys who specialized in hunting down the blood of the God of War appeared on the continent of Azer. In order to survive, those of us who still have the blood of the God of War can only stick together to fight against this evil force."
After Daisy finished speaking, she looked at Merlin with a strange expression and continued, "The blood crystal shows that you have the blood of the God of War, but something seems to be wrong..."
"What's wrong?" Merlin asked with a confused look on his face.
At this moment, Yoshimoto's expression tensed and he urged, "Don't talk here. I sensed hurried footsteps. I think the imperial guards are coming. Let's go back and talk about it!"
With that said, Gibberne and Daisy took Merlin on the left and right and quickly left the scene.
Soon after, a team of royal guards quickly arrived at the scene.
The leading member of the Royal Guard looked around at the messy environment, then glanced at the direction where Merlin and the other two left, but did not chase after them.
He took out a bell from his arms that was exactly the same as the one Merlin took away.
“Ding-ling-ling—”
He shook the bell gently, and in an instant, wisps of blood in the air continued to spread, like tiny blood-colored threads, converging towards the bell, and finally all floating into the bell.
On the other side, Merlin, Daisy and Gibberne came to the door of a dilapidated church.
Daisy reached out and pushed the door open, and the door hinges creaked. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly, "I'm back!" Her voice echoed in the empty church.
