Chapter 258 The Most Unbridled Justice
Raging tongues of fire licked the night sky, dyeing the layers of clouds with layers of blood-red. Billowing black smoke hovered at the end of the wasteland like a flock of crows. Under the flames, countless monsters gnashed their teeth and sucked blood. This was the scenery at the end of Jimu. Closer to Anzu, the towers and church buildings named "Dawn Church" were covered with the corpses of paladins. The glazed tiles scattered the bright red sky in the distance. The church was in danger, as if it would collapse in the next second before dawn.

[Mission Introduction 3: The Life Cultists are located on one side of the wasteland. They use life magic to create a steady stream of stitched lives.

[Number of kills: 0]

[Note 3: This room assessment is too easy, so it is a double room]
[If the Saint dies, the test will end immediately and the Saint will exit the room.]
[All holy light magic of the saints has been lifted, and the saints' original rank has been restored]
To protect the Holy Maiden of Dawn? An Su looked thoughtful.
The Holy Maiden of Light at the end of the Third Era, also known as the Holy Maiden of Dawn, was named Maria Yas. She was a very famous figure among the Holy Maidens of Light throughout the ages. Once her ritual was completed, she could purify all dark creatures with the dawn.
Ansu wiped his neck, wiping the trickling blood from his skin. Pale white magic surged from his hands, healing the wound caused by Suture Life. He frowned slightly. This room had three tasks, and the points were twice that of other rooms, so the difficulty would probably increase exponentially.
The tasks seem complicated, but they can be summarized simply and roughly. Task one is to save your own life, task two is to save the life of the Holy Lady of Light, and task three is to kill, kill, kill, kill. Ansu feels that as long as task three is completed, as long as he kills all the enemies, the first two tasks will be naturally completed.
What really made Ansu frown was that although this exam restored Ansu's original rank, it only unlocked the magic of holy light attribute.
This was clearly the malicious intention of the designer, Merlin. He cut Ansu half-crippled with one blow! As a light and dark priest, looking back at all his magic arsenal, the holy light magic that could be used for direct attack was quite rare, and most of it was used in conjunction with other magic.
And Anzu's most powerful sacred magic, 'Judgment of Holy Light' - these stitched creatures have neither hair nor consciousness, and their minds are filled with only thoughts of eating the Holy Lady of Light, so they are completely useless.
As for the transformation into Ultraman Radiance, the radiation of the Radiance Warrior is directed to the entire audience, regardless of friend or foe, which will directly affect the prayer ceremony of the Holy Maiden of Dawn.
They're all targeting me An Su didn't feel sorry for himself or complain about his bad luck. On the contrary, he had a calm smile on his face, his blue eyes sparkling. For evil players, the more the designer targets them, the more they can find the real fun of the game from the gaps in the rules. He is such a person.
Use all available materials and all available means to find a way to pass the level.
The most suspicious point is Note 3.
What do you mean by "Because the difficulty of this room is too low, teammates are set up"? This sentence is inconsistent and full of complaints!
This is what disturbs Ansu the most.
There was no time to take care of these things now. An Su stared at the stitched monster in front of him. This was the first one he was going to kill.
The stitched life has completely stretched out its body, with a dozen stitched hands crawling on the floor, and another dozen arms raised high, holding various swords, spears, and halberds made of human bones, and crushing towards Ansu, as if a mountain was pressing down on him!
First attack
[Please defeat the Vanguard of the Esoteric Cult: Stitching Life. Human Centipede]
Many psychologically fragile viewers subconsciously closed their eyes. They felt that Ansu couldn't even kill the first monster.
After all, it was a fourth-level stitched life, and it was at such a close distance!
The warlock simply doesn't have time to chant magic.
And the name of this monster sounds so perverted, who knows which old pervert designed it Ansu took two steps back, and the remaining half of the blood redemption dagger in his hand went up to meet those bone spurs. When the blood and bones collided, a series of flowing flames burst out, making a sharp piercing sound——
Since magic cannot be used for the time being, let's use physical skills first.
Blood spread and bones broke, but Ansu stood firm like a pine tree. The blessing of the Mother Goddess gave him powerful mental strength. In Ansu's eyes, the action of stitching his life was so slow that it seemed like a slow motion scene.
He followed the rhythm and smashed one bone tool after another with his backhand, as if he was wandering among a forest of arms, chopping off joints and tendons, and the forests of flesh and blood fell down row after row.
He exhaled softly, and also mastered a certain rhythm. Stars of light and blood splattered everywhere, and the crisp collision sounds like blacksmithing echoed in the corridor.
The examiners who had just calmed down when watching the young man's smooth movements were sweating again. They felt that An Su seemed to be in danger of survival.
At this moment, Merlin showed a cold smile.
Ansu smashed another arm, and seeing that the last hand of Suture Life was holding the heavy hammer high up, and it was about to fall, he followed the previous rhythm and directly blocked it with the dagger -
But at this moment, it did not fall.
The slender arm raised the hammer and held it above Anzu in a way that violated the laws of physics and remained suspended in mid-air for a full millisecond.
Is it the fast and slow knife that is dead?
An Su's pupils shrank slightly, and the dagger that was originally intended to block the heavy hammer missed. At this time, his strength was gone, and Suture Life raised the heavy hammer and smashed it down. An Su had no time to block it. He could only try his best to retreat backwards and barely avoided the heavy hammer. However, Suture Life's moves were not over yet. It stood up, and the arms that were crawling on the ground like feet rose up together. More than a dozen arms slapped towards Ansu like a rainstorm. The next palm had already pressed on Ansu's face before the previous palm fell. One move after another was continuous and not even a breeze could get in.
This dung monster is definitely not the original Stitched Life. Ansu's face was full of black lines. It must have been adjusted by Merlin, the old man.
There is no way an ordinary fourth-level stitched monster would be this shitty.
Ansu's soul could keep up with these palm strikes, but his body couldn't!
At the critical moment, An Su quickly pulled Luo Xiaohei, who was watching the show on his shoulder, off his shoulder and held him in front of his chest.
You fucking meow. Luo Xiaohei's hair all stood up as she watched the palm strike that was so fast that it left an afterimage. She quickly raised her kitten paw and used her seven times reaction speed to clap her palms along with the human centipede. In her heart, she fiercely attacked Ansu's xylophone that no longer existed.
The cat's paws were slapped until they turned red.
While holding Luo Xiaohei, An Su took several steps back before leaving the attack range of Suture Life.
Suturing Life. The human centipede slowly straightened its body, changing from crawling to standing, as if entering the second stage. New bone spurs protruded from its arms, forming various long-handled weapons.
On the other hand, on An Su's side, the original half of the bloody dagger had been shattered after a series of collisions, leaving only a small piece of the blade.
Long weapons hit short weapons.
In terms of weapons alone, Ansu was at an absolute disadvantage. The military god Annan Taigong narrowed his eyes slightly and taunted Carlo Baijue, "An inch longer, an inch stronger. Your child is not long enough, so he has already lost."
"That's great, the money was not wasted." Count Carlo showed a relieved expression.
Merlin also had a smug smile on his face. The reason why saints were prohibited from carrying weapons was for this.
In terms of birth level, you are still too young.
Not only was Annan Taigong aware of the problem with Ansu's weapon, Ansu himself knew that it was broken: if it were long enough, he would have stabbed Suture Life's throat at the beginning of the battle.
The Blood Redemption Longblade was originally made by crudely freezing vampire blood and holy water together. It was rare that it could last so long.
"Meow." Luo Xiaohei's two little paws turned red and she glared at An Su fiercely. She asked An Su what to do now.
"I have an idea, just make the sword longer!"
An Su showed an innocent smile. As an alchemist, he had to learn how to refine weapons at all times. He stuffed the small half of the blood dagger into Luo Xiaohei's little paw, and in the latter's confused eyes, he turned it upside down, grabbed Luo Xiaohei's tail, straightened it, and a blood-redeemed long blade. Luo Xiaohei's extended version was refined.
You fucking think of me as a weapon, don't you? Luo Xiaohei, who was standing upside down, was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She bared her teeth and claws at An Su, meowing and cursing all kinds of dirty words.
At this time, the human centipede was already crushing over. An Su held Luo Xiaohei's tail like the hilt of a sword and chopped at the human centipede. Luo Xiaohei twisted and turned in the air, avoiding all hands like water, and held the knife to stab towards the throat that was sewing up his life.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Human Centipede never expected that An Su had this trick, and it was not written in its life circuit. It was unable to dodge and was directly cut in the throat by the sharp blade of holy water. The holy water spread along its throat and its body became somewhat unstable.
Ansuti kept Luo Xiaohei's tail, and then with another blow, cut off its supporting arm. It half-knelt on the ground with a rumble. Ansuti stepped heavily on the chest of Suture Life, raised the last bit of holy water in his hand high, and poured it towards the latter's head——
Beheaded.
The head flew up and the world spun around - this was the last thing the Human Centipede saw.
[End of the first attack]
[The pioneer of stitching life. Human Centipede, has been killed by Saint No. 16 Ansu Morningstar]
The sound of the entire audience being notified rang out.
[The second attack will come in three minutes. ]
[Current number of crusades: 1]
【You can go to the statue for treatment】
Merlin looked at the Luo Xiaohei sword in An Su's hand and fell into silence. He felt that this boy's skills had improved in the past few days. However, that was all.
Merlin snorted coldly. He had received so much money, so of course he had to do something practical. This was just the starter.
As time goes by, more holes will appear in the magic barrier, and in the end there will be four directions, and the Life Cultists will attack the Dawn Church from four directions at the same time, and the level and number of stitched life created will further increase. Even if there are teammates, they will not have time to guard all four directions at the same time.
This is the real difficulty of the room. The saints are unable to protect the Holy Maiden of Dawn because they are unable to do so.
What's more, Merlin also prepared a surprise at the end before dawn based on the remnants of history.
This kid was doomed to fail, Merlin had a relieved smile on his face.
He loves watching fun the most.
At this moment, the priest in another room reported, "Your Majesty Merlin, the exam in the previous exam room has ended. She has just been connected to the room. She requested to temporarily block all magical surveillance."
It is the right of candidates to block the magic proctor in the exam. In order to prevent the privacy magic from leaking out, Ansu has also applied for it. But Merlin frowned slightly. He didn't understand why he had to block it as soon as he entered the room . "Whatever." Merlin said.
[Please protect the Saint of Dawn]
The voice of the Star Messenger echoed in Ansu's ears. He wiped the blood mist off his body. The first attack had been repelled. He still had three minutes to rest.
Ansu frowned slightly, sorting out the current intelligence and analyzing all the situations. In short, he should have a teammate now. If someone helps, it will not be difficult to defend the Dawn Cathedral in the early stage.
Moreover, he already had a plan in his mind and a vague initial idea.
Holy Light The statue can replenish Holy Light This room looks complicated. If we classify it by the idea of games, it is a tower defense game.
The first room is Anzu's Alchemy Workshop, the second room is Plague Inc., and the third room should be His pupils became brighter and his thoughts gradually became clearer.
Anyway, let’s go back to the church hall.
By the way, discuss the next plan with the unfamiliar teammate.
An Su had made up his mind. He picked up Luo Xiaohei, who was still sulking, and put him on his shoulder, then walked along the corridor towards the church not far away. The Dawn Church was the only building that had not suffered any damage. It was three stories high and made of pure white, flawless glazed magic crystal glass.
There were bell towers on both sides, palm trees at the door, shadows of the trees floating in the moonlight, and countless sacred points of light converging toward the center of the church. The Saint of Dawn stood in the very center of the light.
He came to the church door, pushed it open, and saw——
[The door cannot be opened from this side]
Damn it. Ansu hunted Merlin's mother in his heart countless times. When Merlin was a child, the door could not be opened from here when he went to school!
Who locked it from the inside? The Holy Lady of Dawn? I'm going to open it from this side!
Ansu insisted on opening it. He pressed on the door and exerted force with his hands. As the saying goes, great strength can make bricks fly. His body, which had been baptized many times, had strength beyond that of an ordinary warlock. With a click, the door frame first broke into pieces, and finally burst open, revealing the scene inside the church.
In the sacred hall, in front of the glorious statue, where all the light converged, there were pools of blood.
It's like the pure white sky dyed red by the sunset glow.
The dawn saint named Maria fell quietly and beautifully at the peak of her petals, like a beautiful and peaceful white swan; this sage who had left a huge impact on later generations, the benchmark of glorious saints of all generations, this girl who symbolized the dawn, closed her bright eyes.
Fell asleep forever.
And at the deepest point of the blood, stood another absolutely beautiful girl.
She turned around and gave An Su a perfect smile. She nodded slightly, held up the hem of her pure white lady's skirt, lowered her center of gravity slightly, and performed a perfect lady's salute with an absolutely perfect demeanor without any mistakes.
"Mr. Ansu——"
In those pure white eyes, there was no impurity, no filth, only justice, the purest, most flawless and most unscrupulous justice.
"Greetings."
[Maria, the Saint of Dawn, has been killed by Saint No. 19, Cersei Milton]
Suddenly, the voice of the celestial messenger echoed in Ansu's ears!
