Storm of Gods

Chapter 111 Under the Moonlight, Justice Remains

A figure emerged from the shadows—it was Luo Jin, dressed as a night watchman.

Their eyes met, and Zhao Xun's expression changed drastically, his face filled with fierce murderous intent. But Matthew waved his hand lightly, looked at Luo Jin, and smiled slightly: "You still came."

"Archbishop, why waste words with him? We absolutely cannot let him leave alive this time!" Zhao Xun hadn't expected that Luo Jin had been subjected to the Church's Spirit Binding Shackles in prison, making him practically useless. The prison was full of his people, and he really didn't know how Luo Jin had gotten out.

Matthew ignored Zhao Xun and sighed softly, "You stay here and guard, Luo Jin, come with me."

Luo Jin ignored Zhao Xun and followed Matthew into the passage on the left. This was another spacious secret room, and there were many such secret rooms below the arena.

This also means that the scale was larger in the past.

Luo Jin's ears twitched, and his expression changed slightly. Matthew smiled and said, "That little guy is quite interesting, and he looks a lot like you. He actually managed to find us. Luo Jin, I'll give you one last chance. You and Li Xin can both survive."

Luo Jin gently shook his head. "He came. This is his destiny. Teacher, why did things come to this?"

Matthew spread his hands and smiled. "Human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once it starts falling, it can never stop."

“Teacher, I’m the only one left of the brothers who were with me back then.” As he spoke, Luo Jin drew his long sword, which Matthew had given him when he became the captain of the Night Patrol.

Matthew sighed, holding the crescent moon in both hands, his fingers twitching, and rune arrays appeared beneath his feet. At the same time, Luo Jin made his move. Once the preacher's holy word spell was cast, he would have no chance at all. Violent spiritual power erupted from Luo Jin's body, his eyes turning pale white. This strike condensed the essence of more than ten years of life-and-death experiences of the Night Watchman, charging forward fearlessly, undaunted by life or death.

Within this space, Luo Jin's aura and determination solidified everything, and in an instant, he was right in front of Matthew. Anyone struck by this level of power would perish.

bass……

Matthew's body vanished from the spot and reappeared behind Luo Jin the next moment. Then, a booming Hera voice rang in his ears: "God said, you have lost your light."

In an instant, everything went black before Luo Jin's eyes, but the Holy Word spell did not stop.

"God said, 'You have lost your voice.'"

"God said, 'Your hands and feet are bound.'"

In an instant, Luo Jin lost the ability to move. Matthew had already plunged Luo Jin's knife into Luo Jin's heart. Suddenly, Matthew frowned. Luo Jin grabbed Matthew's shoulder and punched him hard.

boom……

The archbishop was slammed into the wall, his body severely dented, while Luo Jin, whose chest was pierced by the Demon-Sealing Blade, seemed unharmed, pulling out the long sword without a trace of blood.

The archbishop also stepped down from the wall, his sunken chest undulating and visibly smoothing out.

“You’ve broken your vow,” Matthew said. “Why bother?”

The fact that Luo Jin could still move under his holy spell only meant that Luo Jin had fallen.

To break free from the prison's binding shackles and confront Matthew's Holy Word magic head-on, breaking the rules is essential, and self-devouring is the simplest and most direct method.

“You’ve lost even the last vestige of your faith,” Matthew said with a sigh.

His most capable and resilient student, who nurtured the worm for many years and strictly adhered to the precepts, is a rare find even in the church.

Isn't it ridiculous? The church is the biggest user of worms. Preachers and elite law enforcers are implanted with them, but once they break the rules, they become the objects of purification, symbols of sin.

Luo Jin shook his head. "Teacher, I have never believed in the Moon Goddess."

Matthew remained noncommittal, while Luo Jin's body gradually swelled and grew larger; he was turning into a monster...

At this moment, Li Xin was at the exit. He vaguely knew where Zhao Xun had entered, but he had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Li Xin could only resort to a clumsy method.

chisel!
boom……

With one punch, the ground collapsed, creating a hole, but it quickly reached its end. Without further ado, Li Xin punched the wall directly.

boom……

boom……

Li Xin was like a human-shaped wall-drilling machine, breaking through layer by layer until he saw a long, dark opening and a foul, rotten smell. He had finally found it.

Not long after, Li Xin saw Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun saw Li Xin as well. Zhao Xun was truly surprised that such an insignificant nobody could find this place, but he figured it would be good to use him as nourishment. After being greatly replenished, Zhao Xun's thinking was no longer normal. He immediately pounced, his terrifying spiritual energy enveloping Li Xin, and he reached out with a claw to grab at Li Xin.

bass……

Zhao Xun's right arm was ripped off, and he let out a shrill scream. What happened?
A beam of psychic energy shot out from his mouth, and the next moment, Zhao Xun's eyes almost bulged out. Li Xin blocked the psychic energy beam with one hand and punched Zhao Xun away. When he flew away, all of Zhao Xun's bones were broken. He crashed into the wall and knocked over a bunch of offerings. Li Xin saw half of Zhao Qing's face still on the ground.

Zhao Xun had never suffered such torment. From the moment he was born, others were like ants. He was nourished by worms and rose to a higher level. This was the path to becoming a god, and he could live forever!

Ahhhh~~~
Zhao Xun roared, and the worms inside his body became excited. Like an animal, Zhao Xun began to devour and tear apart other worms and flesh, no longer caring about anything else. Zhao Xun's body also began to swell, and he suddenly turned around: "What kind of monster are you!"

"Where is Matthew?" Li Xin frowned.

"Hehe, you'll know when you become a part of me." Zhao Xun's body was twisting, but the power emanating from him became exceptionally terrifying. There was an ancient worm inside him.

Ssssssssss…

More powerful beams of aggregated psionic energy shot towards Li Xin. Li Xin's body swayed like a ghost, and all the attacks missed. The next moment, Li Xin was in front of Zhao Xun. Without saying a word, he tore off Zhao Xun's swollen limbs. Suddenly, he sensed a certain vibration.

Inside the secret chamber, Luo Jin had completely transformed into a monster nearly three meters tall. He no longer needed weapons; his right hand had become a giant bone knife, radiating a chilling aura, as he slashed at Matthew. Although he was a preacher, Matthew's movements, though seemingly slow, were extremely effective, and Luo Jin's sharp attacks could not inflict fatal damage for the time being.

Although Matthew's psionic power is strong, Luo Jin is superior in actual combat skills, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of his Holy Word spell.

The holy archbishop and the hideous monster were locked in combat. The only sign that he was once human was his swollen head, which still bore the marks of Luo Jin.

Matthew pulled out the Crescent Moon Badge from his pocket. Red runes enveloped it, and a red beam of psionic energy instantly pierced through Luo Jin's body. The holy power produced a strong burning sensation. Within the Holy See, preachers possessed the most secret techniques, undoubtedly having the strongest destructive power against fallen creatures. Once the holy power hit, it would produce a relentless burning sensation, especially since this was unleashed by a powerful high priest.

Luo Jin paid no heed and continued his relentless attack, sending shards of stone flying through the secret chamber. However, beams of red, converging holy light pierced through Luo Jin's towering body, which was already mangled beyond recognition. Each scalding blow brought immense, unbearable pain. The innate suppression of corrupted power by holy power, in the Church's words, was the punishment for all sins.

Luo Jin's crime.

When~~~
Luo Jin's massive scythe on his right arm pierced deep into the stone wall, but he couldn't pull it out because his legs had been pierced directly by the psionic beam.

Matthew, his body burning with divine power and holding the crescent badge, looked at Luo Jin with pity, like a compassionate father. "You have done your best. Your teacher will see you off on your final journey."

Just then, with a loud bang, the wall of the secret chamber was blasted open. Li Xin didn't know how the formation of this secret chamber was opened, but brute force was the way to go. This sudden change startled Matthew. At this moment, Luo Jin unleashed unprecedented power. His huge scythe sliced ​​through the stone wall and unleashed a crescent slash that burned away his life force.

A flash of red light sliced ​​through Matthew's neck, and the archbishop's head flew off, still displaying an incredulous expression in mid-air.

Thump, thump, thump... The head rolled to the corner of the wall, and the headless body struggled a few times in resentment before collapsing, clutching its crescent moon badge.

Li Xin saw Luo Jin. Luo Jin's body was still being burned by the divine power, and it would not stop until he died completely. Half of Luo Jin's body slumped against the wall, and the hole in his chest emitted divine flames that sizzled and burned.

Li Xin walked over, looked at the scene before him, and didn't know what to say. "Uncle Luo."

Luo Jin had little strength left, but he forced a smile. "You're here. I finally hear the taste of free food."

Li Xin grasped Luo Jin's hand and began channeling spiritual energy into him. The terrifying surge of spiritual energy made Luo Jin realize that everyone had underestimated Li Xin, but he still shook his head. "No need to exert yourself. The divine power has already destroyed it. This is the best outcome for me."

Li Xin's eyes reddened; he had never believed that there were such foolish people in the world.

"Don't be sad. This is what I believe in. Please apologize to Lin Fei for me. It wasn't until today that I finally got justice for her," Luo Jin said.

Li Xin clenched his fist. "Uncle Luo, don't blame yourself for what you did back then. You did your best."

Luo Jin smiled with relief. The sacred fire was eroding his last bit of life. At this moment, Luo Jin looked to the side, as if he wanted to see the woman he longed for one last time through the wall.

Cathy...

That was the only light in his lonely life.

As the flames burned out, a pyramid-shaped object gleaming with dark gold light emerged from Luo Jin's body and slowly floated in the air.

At that moment, the dice on Li Xin's body flashed with light, and one of the dice turned gold. In the darkness, he received a message in his mind.

First Destiny Star Activated:
"Justice"—the chance to roll the dice again.

Justice delayed is always fraught with regret.
