god of tomorrow

The six-pointed holy sword moved once again.

The six-pointed shield hanging behind Gawain shone brightly, its complex and exquisite patterns recombining and merging in the intense light, lining both sides, with three wing-like sharp points spreading out in a strong light.

The violent stream of light extended, wings took shape, and with a divine and overwhelming force, it cleaved through the darkness and soared into the sky.

Wings of light unfold!

"Aba Aba..."

Lindsay:_(┐?;?д?)ノ

He was thrown to the ground by the violent beam of light, and watched as Gawain soared into the sky and disappeared into the darkness, fearing that he would never return.

"My holy sword!"

Gawain's first attempt with the sacred artifact not only reached depths he had never explored before, but also led to the development of new techniques...

The striking visuals gave Lindsay a bizarre feeling; rather than Gawain exploring and developing it, it was as if the artifact was moving on its own.

Could it be that the Hexagram Holy Sword is no longer going to use him?

Chapter 226 Can't our vows even bring you to look at me again?

High in the sky, Alina was unaware that all her teammates had perished and that she was now the only vampire left on the field. She dodged the minotaur and horse-faced demons' pursuit while stubbornly holding on to the Dark Sanctuary.

The Eternal Night Curtain deprives the caster of all senses, regardless of friend or foe. The caster needs to use the 'Dark Vision' to grasp the dynamics of the entire situation and gain the absolute advantage of foresight.

Alina lacked the necessary abilities and understanding, and without a stepmother, even if given the underlying code of the Eternal Night Canopy, she couldn't master the core technology and deduce other shadow magic.

With severely limited perception, they could only rely on the surrounding blood mist to barely 'see' the nearest Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Just then, an extremely dazzling light appeared before her eyes, scorching and domineering, like a small sun rising from the ground, making her pale skin sting. She spread out the field cards for defense while opening the red parasol in front of her.

The golden light surged upwards, plunging into the thick blood domain. Wherever the intense light shone, the field cards, before they could even exert their advantages, were sliced ​​open along the dotted lines by the holy sword, which resembled a paper cutter.

At the same time, Ox-Head and Horse-Face also unleashed their death energy and rushed in.

Sunlight counters vampires, death energy counters living beings; a three-pronged attack—what a blessing! Alina, along with the field card, swayed precariously. Prioritizing the more lethal sunlight, she raised the tip of her umbrella and thrust it towards the holy sword.

Ding!

With a crisp clang of metal, the red umbrella was scorched by golden flames, tearing away its disguise and revealing its true face.

Ram's head scepter.

The design of the walking stick didn't suit Alina's aesthetic and didn't match her outfit, so she carefully decorated it, turning it into a red umbrella that she carried with her.

Gao Wenwang was overjoyed. He shook the holy sword in his hand, which emitted a strong light and scorched Alina, making her scream in agony. Her delicate face was covered in black smoke and her skin was charred.

Pfft! x2

From the left and right sides, knight's swords and spears followed closely, piercing into Alina's chest and releasing death energy into her body, forcibly interrupting her spellcasting.

Putting aside hellish magic, vampires possess numerous abilities, such as manipulating blood, reading memories, forcing others to sleep, and the mental advantage brought by their considerable charm, making them virtually invincible when casting spells like hypnosis and seduction.

But these abilities are ineffective against Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and against Gawain...

Lily was sulking.

The deathly aura corroded and melted half of Alina's body. Her hands were also clamped by the bull-headed and horse-faced demons on the left and right, respectively. She could only watch helplessly as Gawain pressed a strangely shaped revolver against her forehead.

boom!

After being sunbathed and having their backs opened by death energy, vampires are far less defensive than archmages of the same level; they are as fragile as glass, and a single bullet can take them down.

This scene served as a profound warning to Gawain: magic should be done step by step, and there should never be any shortcuts.

After Alina's soul orb went to the underworld, the eternal night sky immediately dissipated, revealing the surrounding dark, blood-red spatial barrier.

The magic tower in Red River Town is still in operation.

Evil must be eradicated completely!

Without a second thought, Gao Wen immediately instructed the system to add a side quest.

They should try to squeeze out every last bit of value from the prize pool in Honghe Town, since there's no possibility of further exploitation.

[Side Quest Description: The villainous executives and leader have been eliminated, but the evil Demon King's castle still stands. The battle is not over yet; now is not the time to pop the champagne.]

Side Quest Rewards: 1000 million EXP, 50 Gold, 200 Basic Free Attribute Points

Gao Wen decisively accepted the task, then outsourced it to Ox-Head and Horse-Face, ordering his right-hand men to continue suppressing the rebellion and finish the rest of the story.

Without a word, Ox-Head and Horse-Face unleashed their death energy, rushing straight towards the spatial barrier. Gawain landed on the ground, put the second ram-head scepter of the day into his system backpack, and looked up at the two skeletons who were starting to chisel at the wall. They seemed to want to cooperate, but were also worried about being affected by the death energy.

"Gauss!"

Hearing Lindsay's voice behind him, Gawain remained motionless, silently putting away his shield and longsword, turning them into a golden pendant, and hanging it around his neck.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

Lindsay, a seasoned veteran of the underworld, had a history of taking advantage of others and then denying everything. Upon seeing Gawain's actions, she immediately flew into a rage: "My sacred artifact! That's my sacred artifact! I threw it out to protect you. You can't be so shameless!"

Who is this shameless old scoundrel calling shameless?

Gao Wen slowly turned around, his face expressionless, and just quietly looked at Lindsay, making the latter feel insecure.

"Gauss, say something!"

"I don't know how to say it..."

Gao Wen looked conflicted and patted Lindsay on the shoulder: "She said not to contact her anymore, afraid I would misunderstand. The Dawn Church has fought all over the world and has a lot of wealth, not lacking in holy artifacts. Don't make things difficult for her. Just find someone else to live with!"

"Pass you %￥#@..."

Lindsay immediately swore and, unable to contain her anger, reached out to grab it.

Clang!

The golden pendant rose, and the holy sword detached itself, displaying its passionate blade only to Gawain. At this moment, it was exceptionally cold, warning Lindsay not to approach.

Hexagram Holy Sword: I told you not to contact me again to save face for you, but you only feel comfortable if we tear off all ties, right?

Lindsay: (╥灬╥)

The heartless scene deeply pierced the heart of an old man, and even though he had guessed the truth beforehand, he still couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Is this really the end? Can't our vows even get you to look at me again?"

Lindsay burst into tears, crying, "Don't go! How can I live without you!"

People's joys and sorrows are not shared. As the favored party, Gawain only felt that Lindsay was very noisy: "Brother Lindsay, stop howling. Things have come to this point. If you keep howling, you might anger the two messengers of the Lord of Death. They are not easy to talk to."

As he spoke, he patted the hilt of the Holy Sword, which immediately reverted to its pendant mode, clinging tightly to its master's chest and refusing to go anywhere.

Lindsay cried even louder.

“If you cry like this, and someone who doesn’t know the situation sees you, they might mistakenly think there are cows here.”

The blond-haired man patted the victim on the shoulder: "How about this, I won't take advantage of you. Do you remember our bet?"

The bet: The loser must unconditionally grant the winner one request, without refusing or backing out, or else they're a complete idiot!

Gawain didn't want to bully the old man, so he decided to redeem the bet now and keep the sacred artifact that had come to him voluntarily, that he couldn't return, and that he couldn't get rid of, through the bet process.

Rounding it off, Lindsay saved herself a bet and didn't have to be the hammer, she's made a killing!

"The Dark Church is too well hidden; I wasn't careful enough and that's why I was careless..."

"Don't make excuses. If you insist on making a bet, just tell me whether I won or not!"

"Winning or losing can't be defined by a single, one-sided perspective. From a holistic viewpoint, although you won the bet, if you use it to blackmail me into unconditionally giving up the Hexagram Holy Sword, you'll not only erode team cohesion and erode your teammates' trust, but you'll also lose me, your dear friend..."

Lindsay looked at Gao Wen with a serious expression and said earnestly, "Do you understand? You seem to have won the bet, but in reality, you've lost it. I'm the one who won!"

"So her name is Six-Pointed Holy Sword. I was so busy having fun that I didn't even ask her name."

Puff!

Lindsay staggered backward, feeling as if a sword had pierced her chest—the very same six-pointed holy sword that had struck her.

He took a few deep breaths, suppressing his alternating pale and flushed expression, and said in a trembling voice, "Gauss, were you even listening to me? Your unilateral declaration of winning the bet will only erode team cohesion..."

"It's alright. As long as Commander Bei is still here, our team will never lack cohesion."

"What's the point of this?"

“Brother Lindsay, it’s normal that you can’t figure things out now that you’re getting older. In another twenty or thirty years, you’ll understand.”

"In the next twenty or thirty years, I'll have two years of divine protection."

Lindsay shook his head repeatedly, still unable to let go of the Six-Pointed Holy Sword. He changed his mind and said, "Fine, considering how much you've gained on this trip, I'll reluctantly consider you the winner of the bet, but I can't give you the Six-Pointed Holy Sword... How about this, I'll exchange it for another Sun Artifact."

"You still have sacred artifacts on you?"

Gao Wen was quite surprised. As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his hand and pressed down on the gold pendant.

"Why are you holding onto the weapon?!"

Lindsay was furious: "What kind of good old man carries two sacred artifacts with him when he goes out? What I mean is, give me back the Hexagram Holy Sword first, and I'll give you an even more powerful one another day."

"We'll see. I need to check the license plates and see which one works better."

"This is a sacred artifact, not a magic weapon. You can't just ask them to test it and expect them to cooperate!" Lindsay raised her voice, trying to make the six-pointed sacred sword realize in time and see through the scumbag's true colors.

"It seems that it really is..."

"You see, this principle is not hard to understand."

"I haven't even tested it yet, and the six-pointed holy sword has already started moving on its own."

Puff!

Lindsay was stabbed again in the chest. He turned pale and staggered back, panting heavily and sweating profusely.

No, this is terrible dialogue, his body can't take it anymore.

And the Hexagram Holy Sword, Gawain has already belittled you so much, aren't you going to say anything?

Where is your arrogance? Where is your nobility? Where is your aloofness? You would be so kind as to keep everyone at arm's length! You would have been so kind as to say something at all!

The six-pointed holy sword indicated that Gawain was right and told Lindsay not to overthink things. She said that all the years she had spent with Lindsay were not as enjoyable as two minutes with Gawain.

Seeing that the Hexagram Holy Sword was being belittled and humiliated by Gawain, yet still unwilling to turn back, as if it had already been disciplined, Lindsay, for the sake of her health, turned her head away, not daring to look anymore.

"In short, I will exchange it for another sacred artifact. These days, you... you must treat her well and not let her suffer any injustice."
