The past was built upon collecting unique characteristics.

This little gadget, a gift from the church, can not only dispel the gloomy atmosphere, but also, to some extent, strengthen one's faith and enhance one's courage.

He had thought he would rarely use the badge, but unexpectedly found a suitable use for it right away.

Although it's unclear how effective it will be, or whether it can be used to counter the Butcher's "Fear" ability, let's at least give it a try.

As if enraged, the pig-headed butcher suddenly accelerated forward, raising his cleaver high and slashing down.

The power of that meat cleaver was so overwhelming that even before it hit its mark, the suffocating stench of blood assaulted the senses. Perhaps only the defensive capabilities of a "Guardian Knight" could withstand it head-on.

Morian lunged at the marble pillar behind him, avoiding the fatal blow.

He then used his agility to dodge and move around the top floor covered with marble pillars, thus exhausting his opponent's stamina and waiting for an opening to appear.

boom! boom! boom!

The solid marble pillars were like mud in front of the butcher; they collapsed with a gentle push. With its massive body, it smashed through one pillar after another.

During the chase, seizing a gap in the opponent's attack, Morian pulled the trigger and fired a shot with his backhand, the alchemical bullet striking the spiked armor directly.

Bang! Bang!

Just like when fighting Diana, the alchemical bullet hit the highly defensive armor and quickly broke through it.

After several rounds of fighting, the pig-headed butcher's torso, including the protective gear around his waist, was completely shattered, leaving only the protective gear on his arms and legs.

Very well, the badge really worked... Morian pulled the trigger, aiming the last bullet at the pig's head.

Pong!

The gunshot cut through the air, and a charred mark appeared on the butcher's forehead. The bullet was clearly embedded in the skin, but could not penetrate any further.

This shows that the monster's resistance to physical attacks is ridiculously high.

Provoked like this, it instantly became even more enraged, with veins bulging on its face and its whole body seemingly stained with a bloody aura.

The cleaver slashed sharply to the left, while the chain swept across a large area on the right, causing most of the stone pillars to collapse instantly under the attack.

Taking advantage of the moment when all the obstacles were cleared, the pig-headed butcher swung the chain in his right hand out with a sudden jerk.

boom!

The rusty chain pierced through countless broken stone pillars, its end secured with an iron hook that firmly locked onto its prey.

Morian dodged to the side, letting the iron hook graz his shoulder before flying a distance and crashing into the wall at the end.

But this time, instead of dodging, he elegantly snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

A crisp, peaceful snap of fingers echoed, and the shadows around the space surged. Several jet-black wolf shadows appeared, speeding along the shadowy paths on the ground.

In an instant, the shadow transformed into a wolf-shaped head tens of meters tall, shooting out of the ground at the speed of light, and opening its blood-red maw to devour the butcher's body.

The chain, which resembled a venomous snake, also came to a halt in mid-air.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Morian conjured a spear that emitted a blazing white light and turned to hurl it at the iron hook behind him.

boom!

Reddish-brown flames splattered as the chain snapped rapidly, starting from the iron hook at the top, and fell to the ground.

After eliminating the biggest threat, he took out "Radiance" from his inner pocket, held the "short sword" that emitted a soft light in his right hand, and approached the butcher who was in a "imprisoned" state in a few steps.

Sizzle! The sharp blade pierced the unprotected torso, and what spilled out was not bright red blood, but yellowish-white fat.

Meanwhile, Morian was silently counting in his mind.

The first time!

He drew "Radiance" from the other man's abdomen and swung it at the left arm that was gripping the meat cleaver.

The sound of cutting flesh rang out, and the blade made a deep cut on the butcher's arm, but it was not enough to sever the entire arm.

"two!"

As if sensing the pain, the pig-headed butcher regained his mobility and forcefully threw out the broken chain in his hand.

Morian ducked and crouched to avoid it, then quickly left a bloody gash on each of its legs.

"Four!"

Hoo—!

A piercing squeal echoed, and its reddened eyes glared at the humans before it as it frantically swung its meat cleaver forward.

But by this time, Morian had already used his last "passage" to disappear from the spot, his figure appearing behind the pig-headed butcher.

He swung his short sword and delivered the final blow to that obese body.

"five!"

After the attack, Morian quickly retreated to create distance and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a dazzling light appeared, blooming on the meat cleaver in the form of slashes.

The huge cleaver instantly turned into countless tiny pieces.

As expected of a powerful explosive item, its offensive capabilities are indeed formidable.

Morian was secretly amazed, then a faint shadow appeared on his body as he rushed toward the butcher.

Having lost all his weapons, the pig-headed butcher could only use his arms as weapons, grabbing forward with all his might.

However, due to its lack of agility, it ultimately missed.

Instead, Morian's "Radiance" burst forth with intense white light, quickly leaving a bloody gash on the fat man's waist.

Then, taking advantage of his "nimble footwork," he kept moving close to the butcher, slashing bloody marks with his short sword.

The bloated body trembled slightly, constantly leaking a pale white, fatty liquid that was nauseating.

Although the pig-headed butcher kept waving his arms, he couldn't touch Morian at all; all his attacks landed on empty air.

Meanwhile, the number of hits from "Radiance" continues to accumulate.

Finally, by sheer luck, that thick arm managed to strike Morian, who was moving close to him, sending him flying.

boom!

Morian struggled to his feet from beside the broken stone pillar, but his expression remained unusually calm.

Because the number of times "Radiance" has been accumulated to twenty!

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then activated the remaining spiritual energy in his body and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, light burst forth.

To be precise, it was an endless radiance that erupted from the butcher's body.

It didn't erupt from the surface, but rather burst forth suddenly from within that massive body.

A huge hole burst open in its abdomen, and brilliant light kept overflowing, spreading like flames and scorching its entire body.

"Aaaaaah!"

The pig-headed monster was in extreme pain, letting out heart-wrenching screams.

But that wasn't the end of it. Light once again spilled out from every corner of its body, and amidst those beams of white light, the butcher's massive body began to disintegrate.

When the butcher finally disappeared completely, countless bewildered spirits immediately appeared around him.

Their expressions were quite blank, but after glancing at Morian, they vanished into thin air.

Are they all imprisoned souls? Morian opened his mouth slightly, surprised.
