Chapter 99 Harvesting the Sunfire Characteristics

What the fuck, why the fuck is this happening!

After the prayer, the morale of the white ghosts was boosted. A man in a priest's robe picked up a gun and led the charge. More than 30 people attacked Luke and other remnants.

Horse riding.

Luke looked at the priest robe and said, "Why are you pretending to be a believer? You didn't even go to heaven when you died, and you still have the nerve to wear a priest robe?"
You fake fan!

Feeling the force of the opponent's attack, and then feeling the injuries on his own Indian soul body, Luke thought helplessly, let's take the lead and charge again.

Anyway, there are only a few Indian ghosts left. Fight them. If you win, push the crystal. If you lose, just retreat back to the material world.

He flapped his wings with great effort, stood up straight, and came to the front of the Indian warrior who was stunned by the holy light. The [Molten Gold] in his hand extended a fire blade of more than 20 centimeters, ready to launch a counterattack against the white ghost.

After all, they were dead people, and the few remaining warriors barely recovered, gripped their weapons tightly, and followed Luke.

Before the two sides came into close combat, Luke suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that an inconspicuous ball of pale blue fire emerged from the ground, then split into several wisps of flames of varying sizes, which merged into his own body and the bodies of several other Indian warriors.

As the flame entered his body, the wings behind Luke burst into flames again, regaining some of his previous vitality. Even the Indian warrior behind him completely recovered from his injuries and became full of energy.

"May the ancestors bless you!"

The old Indian chiefs and warriors regained their confidence and shouted to the sky.

Luke recalled the scene just now, the familiar color. I have seen this fucking flame before. Isn't this the flame of the magic circle that Robin had built?
He even personally manipulated the flames to act as a troublemaker, trying to find a balance between the power of the evil god and the power of holy light.

The original scene is still vivid in my mind. Now, the troublemaker is still there, but I have become...

It's balanced.

Damn it! Why are there people climbing the Stairway to God everywhere?
The unknown member of the God-ascending Order must have set his sights on the evil power that permeated this place. After all, the ownerless evil power was right here, which was much easier than doing what the robin did, first infiltrating the cult, then instigating the ritual, and then finding a way to lure everyone in.

At this moment, Luke finally realized that these Indian souls and the ghosts of the white colonists on the opposite side were probably being used by someone.

Although they didn't know when it started, they were also affected by the formation.

One side carries the power of holy light, while the other is polluted by the power of evil gods.

The long struggle between the two sides in the other world is exactly the same as it was in the Fort Lauderdale shopping center square.

I finally understand everything!
Luke stood there in a daze, watching the remaining Indian warriors fighting with the colonists, and he actually felt that everything was becoming boring.

It's all arranged, so what's the point?

who is it?

His gaze seemed to pass through the battlefield of fighting, penetrate the dark fog of the other world, and come to the material world.

Looking at the alchemical formation emitting a faint golden light around the body, isn't this a magic circle?

Right, everything is right!
The so-called magic array set up to help the security company, probably the real purpose is for the blue flame in front of us.

Therefore, the wizard that Julius mentioned is the one who ascended to the Great Stairway to God!
Thinking of this, the enemy had already emerged, and Luke's previous discouragement gradually disappeared.

Julius said that the wizard had gone to another city to look for materials. In other words, although he didn't know how the magic circle worked without anyone controlling it, the other party was most likely not at home.

So, stealing home?
It's burning up!

Luke withdrew his thoughts and looked at the battlefield.

Without the help of this "divine messenger", the remaining four or five Indian warriors were not strong enough to fight against the remaining thirty or so ghost colonists in the castle. They were attacked from all sides and knocked to the ground after just one encounter.

Luke watched the last Indian warrior die with a calm expression. Sure enough, another wisp of blue flame appeared from the void and merged into his body, making the energy around him more abundant.

Do you want to see both sides suffer losses or even perish together?
Then try it!
Luke used his mental strength to activate the power of Quetzalcoatl and spread the wings behind him to the maximum. Then, he flapped his wings, and the powerful thrust drove him straight into the formation of more than thirty colonist ghosts.

【Melting Gold】!
Blazing Blade!

Pale flames instantly extended from the dagger. Although it was not like in its heyday, where a single strike could cut off and destroy a ghost, they still could not withstand the scorching flames after several consecutive strikes.

"Separate! Surround him!"

After Luke killed two people one after another, the ghost in the shape of a priest robe commanded the others to disperse, and some ghosts even picked up their flintlock rifles, left the battlefield and prepared to aim.

According to the judgment of the long-stage formation of ascension, Luke's strength is comparable to that of this group of colonial ghosts.

His only advantage is his strong individual strength. If he is surrounded by the enemy inside and outside, and harassed by accurate shooters from a distance, the battle situation will be completely under the control of the enemy.

Thinking of this, he flapped his wings behind him again, driving his body towards the area where the crowd was most concentrated.

The blade cut through the fog, and the scorching temperature made the surrounding darkness begin to boil, and visually it seemed as if even the space was distorted.

The ghost of the colonist did not anticipate Luke's sudden acceleration, and was once again rushed into the crowd by him. Under the dual experience of [Aztec War Saber Technique] and [Indian Fighting Technique], although he rarely experienced such chaotic battles, he was still at ease in the chaotic crowd.

Every move of his foot, every swing of the blade, was full of actual combat precision and efficiency. The blade collided with the hard barrel, and the [Melting Gold and Breaking Iron] effect took effect, softening the barrel in a very short time and then cutting it open. The blade made of flames flashed and cut open the neck of a ghost.

Luke moved back and forth among the crowd with strange steps like a ghost in the flames, using the enemies as targets to block the flintlock bullets.

Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy was briefly out of order due to chaos, Luke's figure disappeared and reappeared. Every time he appeared in the eyes of the priest robe, a ghost was chopped off by [Molten Gold] and lost his life.

The priest wanted to restrict Luke's actions, but he was far inferior to Luke in terms of power and experience, so he could only follow Luke in vain. With the help of the wings behind him, Luke killed only six of the ghost colonists in less than half an hour. It was not that the remaining ones could not be killed, but he wanted to keep them as a weight to balance the fighting power.

After all, if he killed all these people and only Priest Robe was left, there was no telling to what extent the damn Blue Flame would strengthen the opponent.

And now, the remaining seven ghosts have their enhanced power evenly distributed, making them easier to deal with.

Next, solve it with one hit!
He marked [Death Hunt] on the strongest priest-robed ghost among the enemies, and actively extinguished the wings behind him, transferring all his strength into [Molten Gold].

But the pale blazing fire blade did not appear. Instead, it accumulated in the dagger and continued to condense.

At this time, the seven opponents had not yet recovered from the panic of being slaughtered. Even the ghost in the priest's robe looked as if he had seen a ghost, and no longer had the enthusiasm of seeing the miracle just now.

Luke imitated the swordsmen in the martial arts movies of his previous life. He bent his body slightly forward and put the [Molten Gold] on his left waist. At the same time, he communicated with the [Bone Tooth Necklace] with his mind, activating the effect of "Giant Crocodile Teeth", greatly increasing the power and burst of the next attack.

Draw the knife!

Luke pulled out the Molten Gold and slashed it at the air in front of him at a speed that could not be observed by the naked eye. The blade cut through the darkness, making a strange sound, like a deep and long cry. As he moved, the darkness began to twist where the tip of the blade pointed, and a pale flame gushed out from the tip of the blade. It looked like a harmless white light, but it radiated hot energy from the inside out.

The pale flame stretched from a point to a crescent-shaped arc along the trajectory of the knife tip, leaving a clear trail in the air. As the pale arc progressed, its center became brighter and brighter, while the edges began to blur, forming a dreamy halo.

The halo covered the remaining seven ghosts in just a moment, and cut off their souls in front of their astonished eyes.

The strongest of the seven, Priest Robe, was the one who died the fastest under the effect of [Death Hunt]. Of course, the others were also devoured by the flames almost half a second after him, and turned into ashes together.

Call ~
it's over!
As the ghosts of the colonists were all chopped to death, the arc of fire dissipated.

This flame is the power transformed from the Indian sacrificial rituals in Luke's body, and it is also the only remaining evil god power in the Indian tribe.

After completing this slash, the body of the Indian warrior that Luke occupied also burned out the last bit of life, turned into ashes, and completely dissipated.

Both sides died, and no one was left alive.

The ultimate purpose of the magic circle was achieved. The power of the evil god and the power of holy light completed their mutual consumption, and just like in Fort Lauderdale, only the purest and most essential energy remained.

After Luke's consciousness separated from the Indian soul, he floated in the other world like a real lonely ghost, without any support. Without the connection of his physical body, he was about to return to the material world.

However, just at the moment when his consciousness just connected with his physical body, the ladder-shaped necklace from the robin that he stored in the [Endless Stomach] suddenly emitted a faint light.

At the moment when the glimmer appeared, two balls of light, one red and one white, suddenly appeared in the ruined castle. After circling above the battlefield, they actually found Luke's consciousness from the void, and followed his consciousness back to his body.

"Hmm~"

Luke, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly let out a comfortable groan, as if he was being pressed on the most comfortable spot during a health care program.

He opened his eyes and found that he had returned to his original body.

The panel promptly gave a hint of the changes that were happening in Luke's body:
"Draws a lot of spiritual energy."

"The spiritual characteristics have changed, and the effect of the infiltration is - solar fire."

"Sun Fire: It comes from the power of some of the flame authority of the evil god, the Sun Bird, worshipped by the Indian tribe. With this feature, one can use mental power to shape and freely control flames. The temperature and shape of the flame are determined by the strength of the mental power injected, and it has some of the properties of the sun."

The Sunbird is the natural spirit worshipped by the former Indian tribe, the Dimuchuan. When they were besieged and killed by European colonists and were on the verge of extinction, the Dimuchuan held the largest and most pious sacrifice in history, and presented all the treasures that the entire tribe could take out to this powerful natural spirit, praying that it could help the tribe kill the invaders.

Unfortunately, the sunbird had seen the power of the Catholic missionaries, and it coveted the sacrifices, but it did not dare to conflict with the Holy Light God. Finally, under the trend of greed, it swallowed all the sacrifices in the sacrificial ceremony in one bite, and then swallowed all the Indians who participated in the sacrifice in the second bite.

Afterwards, the Sun Bird, which violated the contract between God and man, fell from a natural spirit into an evil spirit. With the gains from this and several subsequent adventures, it imprinted its own spirituality in the spiritual starry sky and was eventually promoted to an evil god.

Afterwards, it was him who was summoned by the cultists and almost sent down an incarnation; it was also him who had severe mysophobia and was disgusted by feces.

Unfortunately, some of the surviving members of the Dimuchuan tribe did not know that their gods had abandoned them, and even after death, they continued to pray bitterly.

The abandoned believers naturally received no response until Luke, during his promotion, glimpsed a glimpse of the solar authority similar to that of Quetzalcoatl and Sun Bird, and thus responded to the prayers of these wronged souls.

Of course, Luke was not aware of these past events. He only knew that from then on, he had the power to control fire, and the power of [Aztec War Sacrifice Sword Technique] would become even stronger.

“Drawing a lot of positive energy.”

"Spiritual power gains repeated immersion effect - Holy Light"

"Any spell you cast that does not contain negative energy will gain a moderate holy light effect, causing a large amount of additional damage to negative energy creatures."

This is the power of holy light that came with the power of the evil god. It is of the same nature as the power of holy light he had obtained before, so it only strengthened the original power.

More than a month ago, Luke had this experience at the ceremony of the robin. Unexpectedly, not long after that, he attended the ceremony of another elder member of the Ascension Order.

Come to think of it, I really have a connection with the Long Stairs to God.

Although Luke was excited, he was still a little worried.

Although he succeeded in stealing the enemy's house while the enemy was away, with this level of formation, if the enemy had the ability to sense that the formation had ended and rushed back overnight to catch him off guard, he would be doomed.

Anyone who has the ability to set up a formation of this level must not be an ordinary person. I'm afraid he can't even reach the third level, but at least the fourth level.

After briefly analyzing the situation, Luke's heart was filled with alarm bells. He was worried about the dangers that might exist in the dark night and the terrifying prospect of a powerful enemy.

Run! You must run now!
