Chapter 85 Seeking Death and Survival

Moore stumbled and fell to the ground, but he seemed to be prepared. His green eyes narrowed, and they were as calm as ever, like a deep, bottomless lake. Except for the twitching caused by the pain, he even looked calm and relieved.

He used his spiritual energy to stop the blood from flowing out of the wound, and used holy light to maintain his life. He asked this somewhat unfamiliar playmate, "So it's me who is needed to eliminate the aftermath of the evil priest?"

"Then please hurry up, many people seem to have been contaminated by the evil spirit."

"You!" Robin had calculated everything except Osment's reaction. His face was full of confusion, as if he was the one who was betrayed and backstabbed.

“You don’t ask me why.”

"No need, Ari," he said calmly, as if he was talking about what to eat today. "Over the years, I have woken up from nightmares every night, thinking every day about just dying. Since I met you again, this thought has become even stronger. But the Lord teaches us to cherish life, and people who commit suicide can never go to heaven. So, this result is also good. I think it is a gift from the Lord to me."

"Hurry up and move. No matter what you want to do, it's not too late. The evil god's aura shows no signs of dissipating."

The complex emotions in Robin's eyes were about to overflow. He looked deeply at the young priest, said nothing more, stretched out his hand forward, and a wound like a bird's beak pecking suddenly appeared on Moore's abdomen.

After being fatally wounded, Mur was injured again. His mental power dissipated and he could no longer control the holy light. A large amount of blood spurted out of the two wounds and he fell to the ground, breathless.

The priest of the "Mockingbird" cult was already on the verge of death, and whispered, "Do you really want to live like this forever, neither male nor female?"

"Do you think I approach you for your crappy gift?" The robin curled his lips in disdain.

"It's not as satisfying to get something from others as it is to snatch it from yourself!"

He squatted down and slapped the ground. A faint blue flame spread out from him, forming a new magic circle that encompassed the "Butterfly Breaking Out of the Cocoon" sacrificial ritual.

“You are the one who ascended the long steps to the gods!!!” Even though he was seriously injured and dying, the red-robed priest shouted out as if he had a last burst of energy when he saw this scene: “It’s you! No wonder! No wonder!”

The sound was so loud that even Luke, who was stunned by the twists and turns above the sinkhole, could hear it.

The moment Moore's heart was taken out, he almost acted on impulse and used his [Spirit Fang] to stab it.

However, after calming down a little, he suppressed his impulse.

He is at level one, and the other is at level three.

He had just used the [Spirit Fang] that he had just kept in his box several times, and he knew almost nothing about the opponent's abilities, so he decided to observe first.

Luke had already returned to his old six nature by this time. He quietly walked away, then crawled back and lay on the ground, disguising himself as an ordinary person contaminated by the evil god's aura.

Long steps to godhood?

What kind of organization dares to use this name? It’s so domineering and is looking for death!

Just now, taking advantage of the moment away from the battle, he had consumed his spiritual essence and integrated the last snake bone into the [Spirit Fang]. At this time, the fusion was completed, and he took a moment to distract himself and glance at the panel.

"The fusion of [Spirit Fang] with [Diamond Rattlesnake Spiritual Skeleton] was successful."

"Added a new effect - extremely poisonous."

"Highly toxic: When the spirit fang causes damage, it will be accompanied by neurotoxins and blood coagulation toxins, causing muscle weakness, respiratory paralysis, tissue necrosis and other effects."

With the integration of the last extraordinary material, the spirituality in the [Spirit Fang] was fully full, reaching the peak that the first level could support. Luke's training at the first level was over, and he only needed to complete the promotion ceremony to successfully become a second-level extraordinary person.

As for his ritual, it is similar to Penny's, very simple and violent - hunting down a supernatural being with a higher rank than himself and obtaining his teeth as prey. He can only use his own strength, and cannot use thermal weapons to assist.

Of course, Luke is not prohibited from using firearms before completing the ritual. If the ritual fails due to the use of hot weapons during hunting, he can just choose another target.

While Luke was distracted by the panel, in the dungeon, the dark blue flames had already devoured the original cult altar. Even the dying cult priest was swept up by the flames and hung in the air, as if he had also become some kind of sacrifice.

In addition, the bodies of all the cultists, as well as Moore, Conis, and the two Light Chasers, were all hanging in the air.

The remaining power of holy light and evil god faith on the corpse separated out and formed two completely opposite and distinct spaces in the dungeon. These two spaces were hostile to each other and consumed each other, but their forces were balanced and neither side could make an inch of progress.

The robin stood at the junction of the two spaces, watching the dark blue flames surrounding the underground cave. As long as the two forces consumed each other, he would be able to remove a large amount of the evil god pollution in the power of "Butterfly Breaking Out of the Cocoon", leaving behind the pure power of rebirth. While reshaping his appearance, body shape, and even gender and talent according to his own wishes, he would take the first step in the "Long Stairway to Godhood".

Only then will you be your true self.

It's just Osment, he
He actually did.
Obviously the plan was about to succeed and he would be reborn, but the robin was inexplicably feeling depressed.

Osment, after the joy of our first reunion, I have always been jealous of you and even a little bit hated you. But.
The dark blue flame shook violently, bringing the robin, who was immersed in his memories, back to reality. He took a closer look and his face turned pale instantly - in the underground space, the two forces that were originally at a stalemate had undergone a drastic change.

The power of holy light was defeated step by step, and the power of the evil god occupied two-thirds of the underground space in just a moment.

how so!
Logically speaking, both forces are now like trees without roots and water without source. Logically, under the automatic balance of the dark blue flame, whichever side is weaker will be helped, and the stronger one will be suppressed. It is impossible for such a drastic imbalance to occur.

unless--

The ritual of summoning the evil god has not yet ended!

He waved his hand, and a dark blue flame pulled the half-dead cult leader down from the sky.

The reason he was saved before was because the Holy Light was too strong, and the active power in his body was used to increase the strength of the evil god's energy. However, now it seems that there are variables.

He walked behind the red priest, gently covered his eyes with his hands, like a couple in love, and whispered in his ear: "What happened? Hasn't the ceremony stopped yet?"

If it was a Red Priest in his prime, even if Robin had been promoted to the third-level [Word Mage], he would not be easily controlled by him.

However, he was almost dead at this time, and naturally had no ability to resist, so without even struggling, he confessed what happened with blurry eyes: "It was Leaf, I asked Robin to get the police chief for me, he only knew that I needed to transfer all the policemen out today to facilitate the sacrifice."

"But what he doesn't know is that I have a more important purpose, which is to borrow his power and openly burn the leaves cultivated by the Tazo worms."

"Those leaves naturally contain some of the power of 'Butterfly Emerging from the Cocoon', although it is only a trace amount and cannot be detected at ordinary times. But when the sacrificial ceremony here begins, those who inhale the smoke of the leaves, especially those who are often addicted to drug hallucinations, can easily see through the body of the god."

"For gods, being seen is power. The more people see it, the faster the gods will come." "It's a pity that a farm was destroyed, otherwise the effect of insight would be even more obvious."

"So, even if the ceremony here is terminated, as long as people outside can still see the gods in their imagination, the descent will continue, but the speed will be slowed down."

After getting accurate information from the red priest, the robin was not happy at all, but became even more annoyed.

This idiot! I fooled him for so long, and he tricked me in the end.

He swung his hand in annoyance, and a deep wound suddenly appeared on the back of the cultist's head, as if he had been pecked by a sharp-beaked bird.

The body of the red priest was thrown aside, and the vibration of the dark blue flame became more and more violent. The magic circle taught by the "Long Steps to Divinity" and specially used to steal divine power was shaking and about to collapse.

The robin wandered back and forth in the underground space, having no idea what was going on.

Although they coveted the power of the evil god with the help of the formation, it was just a small action when the evil god had not paid attention and could not come, just like a mosquito taking advantage of the human being's sleep and carefully sucking a mouthful of blood in a place without clothing.

But now the advent of the evil god is still continuing slowly.

Osmont had said before that the evil god's aura showed no signs of dissipating, and he thought the other party was using these words to urge him to save the ordinary people nearby.

Unexpectedly, it was because he saw much more than himself.

The robin looked up at the sky, and the glossy, colorful colors of the butterfly's wings became clearer.

With his ability at the beginning of the third level, he was able to successfully complete the original plan, which was already the result of coincidence and Moore's deliberate cooperation. Now that he had encountered a sudden change, he could not think of a solution at all.

Damn!

He mobilized his mental power, using the effect of [Word Spirit] to drive it, and shouted: "The ground cracks!"

With a loud "bang", the sinkhole extended outward for several meters. Countless cement and soil fell down. The blue flames also took advantage of the enlarged hole to expand outward, and the internal space expanded, temporarily maintaining the fragile balance of the formation.

"My darn thing!"

Luke stood up from the ground cursing, holding up the energy shield. He had fallen down along with the cement on the ground during the recent ground crack. During the fall, a large piece of cement slab almost hit him. Fortunately, he turned on the energy shield, so he was safe.

There was no way to hide, he was discovered when he just held up the shield. However, fortunately, the previous hidden observation was not completely ineffective, at least he saw the opponent's two abilities.

The first is probably the ability to summon an illusory bird's beak to peck at the enemy, which is activated at close range.

Secondly, he has the ability to make the ground crack and fall just by speaking, but the specific principle behind this is still unclear.

Having seen the other party's strange abilities and the possibility of backstabbing at any time, there is no need for any communication, just do it!

As for the opponent being a third-level extraordinary transformation, it is very likely that we cannot defeat him.

What the hell can I do about it?

This is how things are. I can't hide anymore. When we meet each other on a narrow road, if I give in, I will die.

Be brave, and maybe you can die with some dignity.

Luke drew out [Thunder Flash], activated the amulet's acceleration effect, and according to the memory of ancient heritage, uttered the solemn and majestic voice of Quetzalcoatl, adding an inexplicable sense of majesty to himself. Then, with a strange pace, he kept dodging the opponent's sight and launched a charge.

Unfortunately, the enemy was no longer a brainless creature like the Wendigo. The robin ignored Luke's slight mental shock and said, "Broken bone."

With a "crack", Luke, who was running, felt a sharp pain in his left shin. His body tilted and he fell to the ground.

However, he is not Calvin who charges forward without thinking.

Even the action of closing the distance was just a means of deceiving others. After all, [Aztec War Sacrifice Sword Technique] was just a kind of mortal sword technique with a bit of magic. Luke's strongest power was still the foundation of his extraordinary profession - [Spirit Fang].

As soon as he fell, [Spirit Fang] had already passed through a space of more than ten meters and swept past Luke's figure.

"stop!"

It was just another simple word, and the [Spirit Fang] that was halfway through its flight suddenly stopped and hovered in mid-air.

"Not a bad item. If it's level three, it might be able to hurt me." He looked at [Spirit Fang], a dangerous aura emerging from his eyes. He had seen this man several times, standing with Moore.

With some unknown thought flashing through his mind, he asked in a frivolous and charming voice, "What is your relationship with Osment, that is, Moore?"

After hearing this, Luke seemed to have forgotten the environment he was in. He just thought that it was a very good friend who asked him a casual question. He said nonchalantly: "We are just friends. We have a pretty good relationship."

"Friend, so that's how it is," the robin took two steps forward and approached Luke. A peculiarly shaped ring on his left hand glowed slightly, ready to be activated at any time.

Luke woke up from his trance, used [Thunder Flash] to support himself on the ground and stood up, desperately summoning the [Spirit Fang] that was immobilized, trying to fight back.

"Cardiac arrest"

Luke's eyes suddenly went dark, his heart ached, and he staggered to the ground.

However, he is a superhuman after all, and unlike ordinary people, he has no resistance to superhuman abilities. The passive ability of [Body Strengthening] and the overflow energy absorbed when he was promoted to the first level also make his resistance to abnormal conditions and subsequent recovery even more different from ordinary people.

Therefore, after a brief period of pain, his heart started beating again and he opened his eyes again.

The robin, who was moving forward slowly and preparing to make the finishing blow, felt a little surprised. The opponent was at most a second-level transcendent, but he managed to break free from his "cardiac arrest" words so quickly.

How can I feel at peace if I don't kill such a genius?
We are almost within the range of the "beak", so we need to get rid of it quickly and then find a way to deal with the evil god's energy.

The robin had just taken a step when his face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Stop!"
