Chapter 23 Total Destruction
Parhat was a local and knew the direction of the alleys here very well. He naturally knew that Luke and his friends had chosen a dead end. Seeing them rushing in in a panic, Parhat's evil taste for torture and intimidation came up again. He gestured to the two devout believers and slowed down the pursuit.

"Hehehe, how will those two poor little guys feel when they find themselves at a dead end?"

"Regret? Fear? Blame each other?"

“I really want to see the expressions on their faces right now.”

Full of expectations, Parhati quickly entered the alley, walked a few steps deeper, and saw the figures of Luke and Lei Mulin.

Sure enough, the stowaway found himself trapped in the deep alley. He was so scared that he couldn't stand up and collapsed on the ground with Parhat's favorite expression on his face.
However, the young child did not show much fear. He stood beside the stowaway and confronted Parhat.

Although he didn't know why the target became two people, Luke's calmness made Parhati very unhappy. He made a decision to kill the stowaway first. In front of the young man, he would pull out all the stowaway's organs and intestines, letting him taste the fear before dying.

Seeing the three people following him, Luke finally confirmed: "Are you cultists? Which evil god do you believe in?"

How dare you insult the great God!

"I've changed my mind! I'm going to kill you first! I'm going to rip out your internal organs while you're still alive!" Parhati shouted angrily.

As expected, cultists are brainless, especially when it comes to their beliefs, and they will turn into angry bulls at the slightest provocation.

These cultists are confirmed, and look like Khorne followers.

Seeing the three cultists rushing up, Luke took out the SR-47 hidden behind him. He had already installed a silencer on the muzzle of the gun when he entered the alley. Although there were still some gunshots, at least they were not too conspicuous.

Put the butt of the gun against your shoulder, aim quickly, and pull the trigger!

"Puff puff"

Short, dull gunshots continued to ring out, and his experience as a veteran made him subconsciously choose the chest, which had the largest area, as the target.

The knowledge he gained from watching movies and chatting in online groups in his previous life also helped him master the essence of American Iai: two shots to the body and one shot to the head, even gods would be troubled. Before shooting the head, you have to hit the body first to make the opponent lose the ability to move and resist.

Three cultists fell one after another, but there was no news of any harvest from the panel.

He wasn't dead yet. Luke's good fighting habits allowed him to continue shooting without hesitation.

After the cultists fell, they changed from moving targets to fixed targets, and the difficulty of aiming was greatly reduced. Although the field of vision was a little poor due to the lighting problem, the distance was close. Luke aimed at the head of the leading cultist and fired.

The impact and pain of several bullets entering his body caused Parhati to fall to the ground. However, as a believer in the pupation stage, his body had already transformed into that of a [Worm Walker] and was no longer as weak as he was when he was a mortal.

I was just knocked down by a bullet because I was not careful for a moment, was ambushed, and lost my balance.

After falling to the ground briefly, he sensed the danger, and suddenly leaned forward with his arms, while pulling up his companion beside him and placing him in front of him, blocking the fatal attack on his head.

The sound of gunfire continued. Parhati used his companion's body to block his head and rushed towards Luke like a bull. His body had been transformed for the most part, so even if he was hit by one or two bullets in other parts, he would be injured, but it would not have much impact on his mobility.

Parhati didn't notice that this guy was carrying a gun. The two devout believers who came out with him were all killed. Even if he completed the mission, he would be scolded by the priest when he returned and be labeled as incompetent.

Thinking of this, combined with the old hatred of being insulted by the gods, he became even angrier and only wanted to get close to Luke and tear him into pieces.

The cultist who was used as a shield by Parhat was hit by several more bullets and had completely lost his life. Sparse light spots overflowed from his body, and a prompt came from the panel:
"Kill a Level 0 spiritual creature"

"Gain 30 points of spiritual essence" 7.62 was not very effective, but fortunately the opponent was holding a person and his movement speed was much slower than before, so Luke still had time to react.

He looked around and saw high walls on both sides and behind him. He really didn't want to use grenades in this situation as it would be easy to hurt himself.

However, there is no better way for the time being.

He kicked Lei Mulin beside him and reminded him, "Lie down."

Then he put away his rifle, took out an offensive grenade from his gun bag, pulled the safety pin directly in the bag, took it out and threw it out.

The moment the grenade slipped from his hand, he jumped back and lay flat on the ground. To be precise, he lay behind Lei Mulin.

I would rather die than have a friend die. Uncle Lu went through life and death for him. He has no fighting ability, but he can still help block the shock wave of the grenade.

There was a loud bang. This thing had no silencer, and the windows of nearby residents were shattered. However, the well-informed American residents were of high quality, and no one stuck their heads out of the window to curse.

The center of the explosion was still some distance away, and with Leimulin acting as a human sandbag, Luke was not greatly impacted. After the explosion, he stood up immediately, raised his gun and aimed at the shadow in the smoke.

"Kill a Level 0 spiritual creature"

"Acquired the skill [Leaf Planting Technique] (Proficient)"

Luke remained alert, and this should come from the other cultist lying on the ground, not the leader.

After a while, the smoke cleared and the figure of the cult leader was revealed. The corpse he used as a shield had been blown away, and he himself was covered in scars and tatters.

Due to the loss of too much vitality, he could no longer control the blessing of God in his body. A huge worm as thick as his forearm crawled out from the wound in his abdomen. There were thin silk-like substances on the worm's body, as if it was connected to the cultist's nerves.

As the worms moved outward, the silk threads began to tighten and break one after another, causing Parhati to howl in pain.

This looks more painful than being hit by several rounds of [Toothache Spell].

Luke, who was originally planning to use the [Toothache Spell] on him, stopped casting the spell and decided to use steel and gunpowder.

He aimed at the cult leader's head and pulled the trigger.

"puff"

One shot, headshot.

The skull was opened, blood rained down, and the huge worm that was crawling out quickly shrank after a twitch.

"Kill a Level 1 spiritual creature"

"Obtain 80 points of spiritual essence"

Get it done and call it a day.
