god of tomorrow

From within the black pit, the sound of iron hooves trampling could be heard once more.

"Hehehehehe————"

This time it was no longer the nightmare warhorse, but a skeletal chariot pulled by a bone ox, covered with tattered banners and hanging with strings of skulls burning with soul fire, exuding evil and looking even more ferocious and malevolent.

If it weren't for the unusual appearance of the skeletal knight wielding a spear, with its unconventional skull design that makes it look unlike a regular underworld army, its intimidating presence would be off the charts.

No, that won't work now; it's more like a comedic role.

Death source +1, erosion speed x2.

Swish!

Of the right-hand men that Gawain's mother had arranged for him, Ma Long had never been very bright. Sure enough, after his appearance, he made a savage charge and sent Tie Niu flying, horse and all.

As if by accident, before Iron Bull could begin his trial, the spear pierced Eli's chest, lifting him high into the air.

After being thrown to the ground, Eli got up in the form of a skeleton soldier.

"Seal off the space! Don't let a single one escape!"

Gawain manipulated the contract to issue orders, ostensibly acting as a guide, following behind the two skeleton knights to intimidate them, but in reality, he continuously ordered the Minotaur and Horse-Faced Demon to rush towards the mine and destroy the enemy's home crystal as soon as possible.

The magic tower's all-seeing array eye is equivalent to surveillance. Gawain didn't want to reveal that he possessed advanced necromancy, but in order to destroy the magic tower and eliminate evil completely, he had no choice but to summon Ox-Head and Horse-Face, filling the corruption with death energy and forcibly bringing the underworld to the human world.

Taking advantage of the elemental impact and the screen flashing, I devised a strategy and incidentally added the persona of a guide to my own cause.

In this way, even if he encounters teammates along the way, he can sever his ties with the underworld.

This second-in-command of the underworld is far too steady!

As for whether the two skeleton knights truly descended because of the destruction of the Church and statues of the Lord of Death, and whether his teammates believed it or not, Gawain said that nothing strange happened in the magic world. If they didn't believe him, the gate to the underworld was at the bottom of the pit; they could go in and see for themselves whether it was true or not.

At the same time, Gao Wen used the most concise language to describe the shapes of his three teammates: one brainless, one big-breasted, and one cunning. He warned Ox-Head and Horse-Face that if they encountered these three on the road, they should never rush up to them and treat them as the same kind.

Especially Lindsay, that old guy still owes him a bet!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The camera then moves to the remaining extended space.

Green, who only plays recklessly when things are going well and specializes in playing when things are going badly, can be happily crushing weaker opponents one second and then getting crushed himself the next.

His opponent was Bishop Falco of the Church of Deathrattle, whose strength was comparable to that of Beamont, a great mage who could activate field cards. Green was completely crushed in their first encounter, and even a sandbag was deemed too light.

In other words, Haze ordered that they be captured alive, otherwise they would have been killed by hammering.

On the adjacent battlefield, Commander Bei donned her knight's armor and activated her field card immediately, yet she still couldn't withstand the formidable enemy. Her opponent was Moron, Eli's colleague and Haze's strongest archmage. Under the overwhelming advantage of all attributes, Moron was on the verge of defeat and capture.

In the final battle, Haze personally took action to capture Lindsay, but was hit by a solar magic spell, exposing his weakness of fearing light.

Currently, both sides are exchanging verbal sparring and passionately offering condolences to each other's female relatives, making the situation quite intense.

In short, what should have been a leisurely and effortless affair is now a hurried and frantic scramble.

……

"A bunch of useless trash. If we count on you, the Dark Church is finished."

Inside the reception room, Alina listened to the sounds of battle raging and shook her head repeatedly, clearly dissatisfied with the progress.

As a guest, she clearly lacked any sense of responsibility. Leading her three underlings, she left the reception room, arrived at the core floor of the magic tower, forcibly broke in, and took control of the 'omniscient array eye,' taking in the battlefield all around her.

There's not much to see on Falco and Moron's side; it's all one-sided and quite boring.

Because of vampires' weakness of being unable to see the light, Haze hid in the extended space and used the highest authority of the magic tower to fight from a distance, which meant that he was being chased and beaten by Lindsay.

The battle was of exceptional quality, prompting Alina to nod repeatedly and chuckle softly from time to time.

Seeing her colleague get beaten up made her feel relieved.

Finally, looking at the battlefield where Eli was, the surveillance screen was a gray blur, with black and white static flickering around him. The signal was extremely poor, and he couldn't see Eli, let alone a ghost.

"What's going on? The all-seeing array's core has malfunctioned?"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Alina frowned. She was unwilling to help Haze defeat the powerful enemy, but if she stood by and the enemy took away important information from Haze, she would be in deep trouble if she was held accountable afterward.

After a moment's hesitation, he waved and sent one of his three henchmen to Eli's battlefield to gather intelligence.

To be precise, they are three younger sisters.

Two minutes later, Alina suddenly stood up, her pretty face filled with shock and anger.

Edith, the younger sister who went to gather intelligence, was defeated and killed. Almost the instant she encountered the powerful enemy, her aura completely disappeared; it would be an exaggeration to say that she evaporated.

"Who is it...?"

Alina's heart tightened. Edith was a bloodline she had transformed. The fact that she was instantly killed after showing her face could only mean that the other party had come prepared, possessed important information about the vampires, and knew that solar magic had a remarkable effect on vampires.

Even with solar magic, an instant kill is too exaggerated; it would take at least three "ah ah ah" sounds.

There's another expert on the other side!

Alina pursed her lips, licked her sharp teeth with her tongue, and her eyes turned bloodshot in an instant: "The blood of the strong... it really whets my appetite!"

Chapter 223 Without any evidence, what makes you say the Dark Church is the Church of Hell?

You have completed the side quest [Attack by Passersby]

[Mission Evaluation: S+ (Although we don't know what happened, as Confucius said by the river, "Time flows on like this, never ceasing day or night," which perfectly reflects the saying that a skilled strategist achieves no great feats.)]

[Task Rewards: 200 million Experience Points, 2 Gold Coins, 100 Basic Free Attribute Points]

[A rating of S+ will double the task reward]

"Where did these monsters come from? This is incredibly efficient!"

Gawain stared blankly at the mutated skeleton soldier. Just over ten seconds ago, the creature was alive and kicking, wielding a sharp blade as it rushed out from a dark corner, startling Ox-Head and Horse-Face to protect it, with spears and swords clashing. Then it turned into its current skeletal form.

If he hadn't been quick-witted and hadn't immediately had the system issue a random side quest, the reward that had come knocking on his door would have been gone.

Gawain couldn't see what the newcomer looked like, but judging from her slender frame, she should be a woman.

Whether they are vampires or not is hard to say. Under the influence of death, all beings are equal. Regardless of your race or gender, you have to leave some flesh behind when you meet them.

The left and right arms have been strengthened again!

"Did you even look closely before you acted? What if it's a teammate coming for help?" Gawain wiped away a bead of cold sweat, praying that the female skeleton in front of him wasn't Beamont.

It would be better if Commander Bei were more flesh-and-blood; the current one is too skinny and doesn't fit his personal aesthetic.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Face shook their heads in unison. Based on Gao Wen's description of his teammates, the attacker was slender and tall, and not on the team's list.

"That's fine too..."

We can't just jump right in; we should at least chat for a bit and see if there's any intelligence value in it.

Gao Wen shook his head, not wanting to reason with two empty-headed guys, and directly ordered that if any passersby rushed out later, do not use your full-scale attack on them, but let the leader say a few words first.

If you had said a few more words, the experience reward wouldn't have been so low. You didn't even get 30%, you might as well have begged on your knees.

After giving the order, they continued their raid on the mine.

boom!

Marlon, wielding a long spear, crashed his car into the barrier of the extended space ahead. Just as he was about to unleash a massive wave of death energy, he spotted a teammate whose appearance matched Gawain's description and reined in the car in time, preventing the death energy from running over the teammate.

Beamont.

Following the Knight Princess's defeat, her teacher has also been defeated!

Gawain strode forward and saw Beatrice lying on the ground, exhausted and unconscious. He thought to himself, "What a good opportunity!" and turned to look at the battlefield.

The collisions between the course cards drastically altered the environment of this extended space, turning it into a lush, rocky landscape. First, the mountains crushed the primeval forest, then the primeval forest sprouted from the cracks in the rocks, a cycle that repeated itself fiercely, culminating in a powerful surge of water.

The smell of the sea still lingered in the air.

Clearly, Captain Bei's opponent was a great mage who majored in the faith magic of the 'Lord of Earth and Ocean'. Perhaps it was because grass-type magic is super effective against ground, rock, and water-type magic that he was able to achieve a last-minute comeback despite being lower level than his opponent.

Gawain could only conclude that, after all, according to the intelligence he had gathered, the Dark Church held a paper advantage on all four battlefields, and without attribute counters, he found it hard to imagine how Beamont could win.

Of course, it's possible that Commander Bei possesses a rather powerful form of natural magic.

Soon, Tie Niu grabbed Beyamont's opponent and threw him to the ground, smashing him into several pieces.

Moron, the most powerful archmage under Haze.

He was smashed to pieces, which had nothing to do with Tie Niu. The latter did not use death energy to invade the corpse. When Tie Niu found him, he had already lost all the moisture in his body, and even skeleton soldiers were considered too flammable and fragile.

"Good heavens, they've sucked all the bone marrow out!"

Gawain glanced at the towering Beatrice, who had fought to exhaustion despite being weaker than his opponent. His fighting spirit and discipline were admirable, but his opponent's death was gruesome...

Forgive his extensive experience, but isn't this kind of death a bit like a paid storyline?

Gawain reflected on his actions and realized he had been one-sided; he shouldn't have applied the techniques from the neighboring film studio to the universal continent. Perhaps similar methods existed, but the true masters of this art resided in Hell, their race known exclusively as 'Succubi,' making Captain Bei, a member of the Holy Court, worlds apart from them.

The Natural Holy Court is not the Joyful Union Sect, and Commander Bei is not an elder of the Joyful Union Sect. The desiccated corpse in front of us is most likely a single-target spell of the Natural Holy Court, a secret technique capable of draining a great mage dry in one strike.

What kind of magic is so powerful that its effects are like the dregs of medicine from the Hehuan Sect next door?

Now is not the time to be curious about these things. The most urgent task is to blow up the magic tower. Gawain grabbed Captain Bay's belt, threw him onto the bone bull chariot, and continued heading towards the mine.

The extended space is layered and overlapping, like a giant maze. Without the help of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons, Gao Wenhua might not be able to get close to the mine even after ten days or half a month.

……

“Bishop Lindsay, I never expected your mastery of solar magic to be so profound. It seems that many people have been fooled by you.”

Haze stood before Lindsay, holding the highest authority over the magic tower. He was like Lily hidden in the closet, able to move to different folded spaces at any time, layering them down so that Hervy could never catch her sister stealing food in front of her.

Because the layers are different, Haze can't directly attack Lindsay either.

Lindsay, being older, was gradually getting tired of exchanging insults with Haze through several layers of glass. His eyes were fixed on the front: "With your cultivation level, you haven't even touched the threshold of a Great Sage. You shouldn't be embarking on the path of evolution now. Who led you down this evil path, making you afraid of sunlight and forced to live a miserable life in darkness?"

Both sides were keen to probe each other's intelligence, but were also cautious and unwilling to discuss it further, resulting in a stalemate in the battle.

A deafening roar shook the earth.

Lindsay was surrounded by radiant light, ready for battle.

Haze was slightly taken aback. As the holder of the highest authority, he keenly sensed that something had changed in the magic tower. He immediately berated his colleague Alina before pulling back the black curtain to see what had gone wrong.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked; once I did, I was completely stunned.
