My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

Lin Mo landed on the coral reef, and the once noisy square instantly fell silent.

The crowd instinctively made way for him, their eyes filled with awe.

Lin Mo ignored them and strode over to Tashuk.

Looking down at this once arrogant demigod.

At this moment, Tashuk had lost all his former majesty.

Although he was beaten up for half a day, he did not have any physical injuries.

But the mud he left behind while rolling on the ground made him look disheveled.

Tashuk's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Lin Mo, screaming hysterically, "What did you do to me! What did you do to me! Why can't I use my skills anymore! Why!"

His voice was full of resentment.

He still can't believe that he, a demigod, was defeated by a level 80 human, ganged up on by a group of civilians, and ended up in such a state.

The only response he received was the black sword in Lin Mo's hand.

puff!

The black sword pierced Tashuk's heart.

The cold blade tore through his demigod body.

Tashuk's pupils suddenly contracted.

He could feel the life force within him draining away rapidly, like a flood breaking through a dam.

"No... Impossible!"

He mustered his last ounce of strength and screamed hysterically, his voice hoarse and broken.

"How could I die?! I'm a demigod! I won't die! Just you wait! I'll make you pay!"

The black sword was drawn, leaving a trail of blood.

Tashuk completely lost the strength to stand up and collapsed in a pool of blood.

The once invincible mermaid king ultimately fell to Lin Mo's sword.

Just as Tashuk breathed his last.

The black sword in Lin Mo's hand suddenly hummed and trembled, and a dazzling golden light burst from the sword, enveloping Lin Mo.

Lin Mo understood that this was a sign that the Holy Awakening was about to be completed.

Open the attribute panel, and two brand-new ability descriptions will appear clearly.

【Killing Domain】: The range is doubled. The Killing Domain will provide corresponding changes based on the power of the laws you have mastered (currently it can trigger both Hellfire Burn and Gravity Suppression effects).

[Godslaying Bonus]: Killing a powerful enemy (such as a demigod) will not only increase all attributes, but will also plunder a portion of their power of law and integrate it into your own.

Lin Mo lowered his eyes to look at the black sword in his hand, feeling the surge of power within his body and the changes in his Saintly Awakening ability. His tense nerves finally relaxed.

A faint smile of relief appeared on his lips.

Finally, he killed the first demigod. Although the process was a bit unexpected, it went much more smoothly than he had imagined.

The surrounding crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers that echoed throughout the entire Mermaid Kingdom.

"We won! We won!"

"Level 80 kills a demigod... He really did it!?"

"That idiot tyrant just tried to kill me! He deserved it!"

……

The mainland races cheered and hugged each other in celebration.

The merfolk soldiers also laid down their weapons, their faces showing relieved smiles, and their eyes were full of awe and gratitude as they looked at Lin Mo.

The siren stood atop the ruins, watching everything unfold below with a slight smile, and even gave Lin Mo a grateful look.

However, Lin Mo ignored all of this.

His gaze was fixed on Tashuk's corpse on the ground, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Next, it's time to absorb his soul; this will be the fourth demigod-level soul he has collected.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the black sword in his hand unleashed a powerful soul-attracting force.

An invisible force emanated from the sword, enveloping Tashuk's corpse.

Soon, a semi-transparent phantom of a soul was slowly pulled out of the corpse.

It was Tashuk's soul, still maintaining its appearance from when it was alive, though it seemed somewhat ethereal.

Just when Lin Mo thought that Tashuk's soul would be successfully devoured by the black sword, the soul phantom suddenly opened its eyes.

A hint of doubt first appeared in his eyes.

But then, as if remembering something, he waved his hand and a semi-transparent soul scepter appeared in his hand.

Looking at the translucent scepter in his hand, Tashuk suddenly realized: "Hahaha! I really am immortal! How could you possibly kill me!?"

The scene was so sudden that the cheering crowd instantly fell silent.

A wave of panic erupted, and everyone quickly scattered, staring at the ghostly figure from afar with expressions of terror.

"His soul! His soul is not dead yet!"

"How can a demigod's soul survive outside of a corpse?"

"Is he going to retaliate against us? Get out of the way!"

……

The ten golden dragons immediately became alert, their bodies radiating golden light as they stood in front of Lin Mo, ready to fight at any moment.

Yin Xue also became wary: "Even a demigod shouldn't be like this. Could it be that he has already perfected his understanding of the laws of the soul?"

Before Lin Mo could react, Tashuk's soul suddenly raised his hand and held the scepter above his head.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Not far from the square, several mermaid soldiers who hadn't had time to disperse suddenly rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

People around them fled in even greater terror.

Seeing this, Lin Mo frowned deeply.

He could clearly see that the souls of those mermaid soldiers were being continuously absorbed by the scepter in Tashuk's hand.

It transformed into wisps of purple soul power, merging into Tashuk's illusory soul image.

This made his previously illusory figure a bit clearer.

What's going on?

This question involuntarily came to Lin Mo's mind.

Just then, the blood on Lin Mo's shoulder suddenly trembled.

Her bloodshot eyes were filled with shock as she suddenly jumped off Lin Mo's shoulder.

With a swift movement, she transformed into a tall, mature woman and quickly retrieved a yellowed ancient book from her storage space.

That was the "Illustrated Compendium of Demon Kings Through the Ages" that she had found in the Dragon Clan's Secret Realm.

Yin Xue flipped the scrolls rapidly with both hands, his fingertips trembling slightly with tension.

The papers rustled, and after a moment, she suddenly stopped on a certain page.

His pupils contracted sharply, and his voice trembled with disbelief: "It's him! He obtained the Lich King's legacy!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was shocked, and the doubt on his face was instantly replaced by astonishment.

He knew all too well what this meant.

Because he himself is essentially the inheritor of Yin Xue and the legacy of the second Demon King.

That's why they can level up quickly in a short period of time and have strength far exceeding that of their peers.

At this moment, Yin Xue had already unrolled the scroll.

The first thing that catches the eye is a portrait, in which the lich is a skeleton dressed in a purple robe.

The scepter it held was exactly the same as the one Tarshuk was holding at that moment.

[The 21st Demon Lord: Kohl]

[Crimes: Waging wars that killed one-fifth of the continent's population and plundered their souls; according to statistics, this caused the extinction of at least five intelligent species...]

[Strength: Peak Demigod]

[Race: Soul Lich]

[Evaluation: A master of the laws of the soul, who believed that physical death was not the end and intended to rewrite the definition of death.]

Looking at the introduction, Lin Mo frowned, not expecting that Tashuk had inherited such power.

Seeing Lin Mo and Yin Xue's shocked expressions, Tashuk's illusory soul laughed wildly, the cold and piercing sound echoing throughout the entire square.

"That's right! You guessed it! I obtained this scepter by chance when I was young! It bound my soul to the merfolk! I didn't expect it to only begin to exert its power after my death, which means..."

He raised his hand and shook the Soul Scepter in his hand.

"Unless you can kill all the mermaids here, I can resurrect after absorbing enough souls! Hahaha!"
