Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 265 Does the goddess look like she's been captured?

After each completing a charge, the 24 members of the Silver Guard did not disappear on the spot, but remained there.

After the Prince's Sword was upgraded to +7 by the Sacred Beast Lu using Cleria Ore, it underwent its second qualitative change. This change did not result in the acquisition of new additional effects, but rather the addition of a new effect to the existing skills.

[Silver Royal Guard - details omitted. After completing their charge, the Silver Royal Guard will not immediately disappear, but will temporarily remain around you as a summon-like unit. (+7 additional enhancement)]

The default attributes of the Silver Guard are Strength 27, Agility 15, Spirit 12, Charisma 16, and no skills.

Each Raider (Horned) Silver Knight will gain 3 special health points. The warhorse will disappear upon the first effective hit, the armor will disappear upon the second, and it will disappear completely upon the third. Even without being effectively hit, it can only last for a maximum of 5 minutes.

The Silver Guard will receive double the boost from the "King's Arrival" effect, granting a 20% increase to Strength, Agility, and Spirit attributes.

Because Cheng Tian used charging to release the Silver Guard twice in a row, a total of 24 strong and healthy bull horn knights appeared on the scene. However, they would die and their armor would break if they were hit, and they could only last for a maximum of 5 minutes.

Cheng Tian strongly suspected that the enhanced attributes contained elements of Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins, and wondered if these knights had the same strawberry underwear inside after their armor was destroyed.

However, given that they can only withstand a maximum of three hits and last for only five minutes, they are basically useless against enemies with AOE abilities. They are more like cannon fodder, albeit with relatively strong basic cannon fodder attributes.

Anyway, now that Cheng Tian has the Goddess's +1 charge effect, he can easily get 12 powerful cannon fodder characters for free just by using the charge effect.

Because Bazett's mind had switched to the identity of the Holy Grail Heroic Spirit and was also receiving knowledge from the space, he simply thought that what Cheng Tian had summoned was some kind of high-level Dragon Fang Soldier.

Utan, with the help of the cannon fodder knights, simply collected some blood and insect flesh to take back and study, to see if he could genetically mix them with the insect mother fragments he had obtained in the Metal Slug wormhole.

"Monsters!? No, they should be humans, humans made of magic!"

But Fina, who knew nothing about this, could not hide her surprise.

Cheng Tian's ability to summon knights out of thin air is very similar to the creation of monsters in essence. Both use magic to create life forms, and from the perspective of life form alone, Cheng Tian's method may be more advanced than that of the Dark Clan.

The other side could only create twisted monsters, while Cheng Tian created humans with bodies, souls, and thoughts!
In that instant, she suddenly remembered the encouraging remark Cheng Tian had made earlier—

"If you ask me, you might as well just build a twin tower right here to farm angels, and start a tower defense battle against the Black Tower, just farming units for each other."

It sounded like a joke at the time, but now it seems like the other person was serious. (Not really.)
"Goddess, it's time to get to work."

Cheng Tian uttered a rare combination of words that was extremely uncommon within the Kingdom of Issu.

Fina, whose mind was full of thoughts, was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Cheng Tian point to the ground where insect corpses were scattered all over the ground.

"Oh~ Here it comes~"

The goddess wasn't annoyed. After seeing Cheng Tian absorb the soul fragments, she immediately began to decompose the insect corpses.

This time, Cheng Tian chose to enhance the war elephant mammoth.

The insect demon Nigtirg is a very special lightning-attribute insect demon. The lightning-attribute insect demon core was extracted from its head and then stuffed into its mouth and swallowed by a mammoth's trunk.

With crackling flashes of electricity, the current extending from its stomach to its nasal cavity illuminated its long nose, before a bolt of purple lightning shot out.

The war elephant "Mammoth" has consumed the "Purple Thunder Insect Core," and the "Thunder Strike" ability derived from its "Thunderfire Stomach" has been activated.

【Thunder Strike - Thunderfire Stomach can unleash Thunder Strike by accumulating enough lightning energy in advance. The trunk will release a high-voltage current that affects all enemies in a straight line for ten meters, causing 200 points of lightning damage.

Unleashing a thunderous strike requires prior charging, either by consuming a high-performance battery, or by consuming a large amount of food and at least 60 minutes of energy storage to generate bioelectricity, supplemented by 50 MP for release. After release, the nasal cavity will be in an overheated state, requiring a 3-minute cooling period.

Cheng Tian had originally planned to try and get a high-performance battery from Billy Gates to activate the Thunderfire Stomach after his next Metal Slug dungeon run, but now he'd saved himself that trouble. Compared to the Bursting Flame, which has strict activation conditions, Thunder Strike's activation conditions are clearly more flexible.

Charging, consuming batteries, or consuming large amounts of food to generate bioelectricity can all satisfy the need for energy release.

Meanwhile, Cheng Tian had a sudden thought when he returned the elephant to the Void Garage. The Purple Lightning Warhammer in his inventory also appeared in the garage at the same time (the hammer was still occupying the inventory, which was an effect linkage). The mammoth ran over happily and curled its trunk, and saw that the electric current on the warhammer was flowing into the war elephant's body through its trunk. The war elephant, which was lying on the parking space, even showed an expression of enjoyment on its face.

The war elephant mammoth is charging~
After dealing with the loot, it was time to continue climbing the tower. This third level was the Blazing Fire Domain where the goddess Fina had wandered before she met Cheng Tian.

……

The third level of the Black Tower, the Blazing Fire Domain.

As can be seen from the name of the domain, this is a high-temperature domain, completely opposite to the water domain of the second largest layer, filled with scorching magma.

Here, you can feel the heat penetrating your nasal cavity just by breathing in, and your throat will feel uncomfortable as well. Cheng Tian has only ever felt a similar sensation in a sauna that has been doused with a lot of water.

Just minutes ago, Cheng Tian had already ordered his 24 Silver Knights to rush in ahead of time and kill as many monsters as possible they encountered on the way before they disappeared.

It was fortunate that the duration was only 5 minutes, and that the knights were essentially summoned creatures rather than real people; otherwise, there would have been no need for the monsters to intervene, as the scorching environment would have been enough to cause the knights to suffer from heatstroke.

However, Cheng Tian himself was not in any major problems. It was still the enhancement effect brought by the Azure Fire Dragon Scale Armor. Because he had the mutated bloodline of Spade and Diamond in his previous life, in addition to "Deep Water Environment Adaptability", it could also give Cheng Tian the "Lava Environment Adaptability" effect.

In addition, even though this is inside the tower and it is in a state of perpetual night outside, the Sun's Blessing, which should not be effective, can make Cheng Tian automatically immune to high-temperature-related debuffs when the fragment amount reaches 15%.

Even without the protection of the blazing sun, the goddess can withstand the scorching sun with her magical shield.

But this is a bit tough on Bazette and Utan.

Bazett was a little better off, as the fire-resistant runes allowed him to resist the high temperatures to some extent. However, he still had to loosen his tie and open his collar to try to cool down the areas where the girls were prone to sweating and rashes. The water he had drunk in the Water Hell area was also being expelled through sweat.

Utan is in a much worse situation. For a hairy primate like it, this scorching environment is nothing short of torture. It's only because its species is a tropical rainforest creature with well-developed sweat glands that it can endure it for long.

And that's when Cheng Tian's Dream comes into play.

"Fire Protection Potion"

Having made prior preparations, Cheng first held the medicine above his head before distributing it amidst the incomprehensible gazes of others.

This medicine was purchased from the same store that sells underwater breathing medication.

However, just as the potion was being distributed, the statue directly in front of Cheng Tian and his group, which had been corrupted into an evil god image, suddenly became brightly lit, and then a familiar figure appeared from the purple magic circle.

The newcomer was none other than Saba, the female sorcerer who had previously sent Cheng Tian to the lowest level of the Black Tower.

Saba, feeling very unhappy because she sensed the successive deaths of the mad beasts and insect demons she had painstakingly sent to guard the first and second floors of the Black Tower, teleported over to see what was going on, whether it was Ys's group or her own people who did it.

Saba, who was already annoyed with Cheng Tian, ​​was naturally unhappy when she saw the blazing sun mask on his face. However, when she looked ahead and saw Cheng Tian, ​​Wutan, Bazette, and then, following the strip of cloth around Bazette's waist, she saw the goddess Fina suspended in the air like a balloon. Saba's expression changed from surprise to delight.

"Although I don't like you guys, I have to say, well done."

Upon hearing Sabba's words, Cheng Tian and Fina exchanged glances, then the goddess pretended to put her hands behind her back, striking a pose of being captured...
