Chapter 47-47-5 - Monday
"Dark Shield: When equipped with the Dark Bible, gain a shield formed from dark power that cannot absorb damage but can withstand one fatal attack. Once activated, the shield will trigger again after 60 minutes."
"Dark Devour: It can devour any magical equipment to enhance the Dark Bible. The higher the equipment's rank, the stronger the enhancement attributes, and there is a certain chance to gain the skills originally possessed by the equipment."
The practicality of the Dark Shield goes without saying; it's essentially immune to death once every hour, a god-tier skill that can turn the tide in crucial moments. The only downside is that it can't block normal damage.
What surprised Lin Qi was the Dark Devour skill. He hadn't expected that the Dark Bible could devour other equipment! Lin Qi immediately took out all the unused equipment behind him, put the Dark Bible and the sharp sacrificial longsword he had initially obtained together, and activated Dark Devour.
"Ding! Successfully devoured, Intelligence +1."
Immediately, the system notified him of a successful absorption. Although the increase in attributes was small, it overjoyed Lin Qi. He immediately threw all the weapons he couldn't use, which had been looted from Akizuki Kozo, together with the Dark Bible and continuously activated Dark Absorption.
"Ding! Successfully devoured, Agility +2." "Ding! Successfully devoured, Strength +1."...
Lin Qi threw all the equipment he didn't need onto the Dark Bible in one go. Immediately, the Dark Bible gained a lot of attribute values. Lin Qi quickly found the pattern: Tier 1 equipment only added one point of random attribute, Tier 2 equipment added two points, and so on.
So, as long as Lynch can provide enough equipment for the Dark Bible to consume, it can keep growing! It might even become a seventh-tier weapon that Lynch has never seen before, or even a true divine artifact!
"This is the true Dark Scripture! A Dark Scripture that can continuously grow!"
Although each piece of equipment doesn't add much to the attributes, the sheer number of them makes up for it! And they can absorb everything indefinitely! These are divine artifacts! Absolutely divine artifacts! After realizing this, Lin Qi went into a frenzy!
"Kaguya, let's go."
“My lord, this is an item I obtained from the remains of a previous demon; it may be of use to you.”
After calming down, Lin Qi left the confessional room immediately, intending to put Kaguya into the contract space and leave. However, Kaguya handed Lin Qi a pair of broken wings first. Lin Qi recognized them at a glance as the wings of the thing that had been nailed to the cross.
"what is this?"
"Wings of the Fallen Angel: The wings of a fallen angel. When you are able to defeat the power of the fallen angel's bloodline, you will possess these wings and soar freely. Limited to use by Tier 1 professionals."
"Good stuff! But the presentation isn't great. Oh well, practicality is key!"
Lin Qi originally thought that thing was completely useless, but he didn't expect that there was something that could be reused. However, when Lin Qi saw the properties of the wings, he was immediately delighted. This was no longer a waste, but a wonderful treasure!
Those who can fly undoubtedly have an advantage over those who cannot. The only thing that Lin Qi was dissatisfied with was the appearance of these wings, which looked like countless intertwined blades. Moreover, Lin Qi could not use them immediately, as he was only a beginner at the zero level.
After making a remark, Lin Qi stored Kaguya in the Dark Bible. After dealing with the traces left at the scene, he left the secret hall from the cliff and prepared to enter the Third Fortress to start looting the wealthy area around the city lord's mansion with the other low-level mercenaries, in order to fabricate an alibi for himself when Akizuki Kozo died.
Meanwhile, in the dungeon beneath the shrine, Bolt appeared before Samukha, carrying a girl dressed in Kaguya's attire with a black cloth bag over her head. Samukha exuded a chilling aura. In the surrounding cells, all the witches had died tragically, their expressions revealing immense pain and fear in life. The presence of more surviving witches confirmed this. These witches, who had been prepared to sacrifice themselves for the god, now huddled in the corners of their cells, filled with terror as they stared fearfully at Samukha, the only one still standing.
"You've finally arrived."
When Bolt appeared, a look of joy immediately flashed in Samukha's eyes.
"Many of us died trying to capture her."
Bolt nodded to Samukha, placed Kaguya in front of him, gave Kaguya a push, and then moved closer to Samukha.
"Hahaha! Kaguya! I've finally got you! Go! My darling! You will become the new god!"
When Samukha saw Kaguya being pushed toward him, a look of madness immediately appeared on his face. The insect eggs that had been cultivated from the cross nailed to him were immediately taken out. After Samukha dripped his own blood on them, he threw them directly at Kaguya, who was wearing a hood, and laughed madly. He seemed to see himself creating a brand new god!
"what!"
Then, in the next moment, Shamuhaza's expression changed drastically. His insect egg hatched in mid-air, turning into the shape of a small spider. After landing on Kaguya, it immediately crawled towards Kaguya's flower and nimbly burrowed into it!
Kaguya, who was attacked by the Gu worms, exclaimed in surprise, covered the flower and jumped up, revealing the two sharp blades that were only one finger long that she had been carrying on her back!
Chapter 48 48
"No! This isn't Kaguya! You're lying to me! You're asking for it..."
Samukha realized he had been tricked just by hearing her voice, and instantly roared in anger. Several worms crawled out of his body and swarmed towards the imposter Kaguya and Bolt!
Bolt's original plan was for this fake Kaguya to assassinate Samukha in close combat. However, Bolt obviously did not expect Samukha to be so eager to cultivate his Gu worms, which caused the assassination plan to be exposed ahead of time. However, Bolt's reaction speed was surprisingly fast. His sword suddenly pierced through the body of the fake Kaguya blocking his way and stabbed into Samukha's body, pinning the two together!
Bolt's icy gaze emerged from behind the fake Kaguya, and he coldly said to Samuhaza, "You shouldn't have threatened me with my subordinates and my dreams."
Even if I die, I will make you all pay with your lives!
After saying that, Bolt's berserker aura entered Samuhaza's body through the longsword and began to frantically destroy Samuhaza's bodily functions!
However, Samuhaza was clearly no ordinary person. Most of his body had been taken over by the Gu worms, and the injuries Bolt had inflicted on him were not enough to kill him immediately. Samuhaza suddenly raised his right arm.
"Smack!"
With a crisp explosion, his entire right arm was instantly blasted into a thick green mist that spread outwards like a living thing!
Bolt roared and entered a berserk state. Instantly, flames burst forth from his body, shielding all the approaching green mist from the flames. The green poisonous mist was being burned away by the flames on Bolt's body!
More green poisonous fog began to spread into the dungeon, but it found that it could not escape from the dungeon at all!
“The dungeon is the most sealed environment. Before I took action, I blocked all the ventilation openings. Your gases cannot spread out. Without the stimulation of these gases, those Gu worms will never be activated. You should just die alone.”
Bolt stared blankly at Samukha. Before Samukha turned against him today, Bolt had never imagined things would turn out this way, but Samukha had forced him down this path! With Samukha dead, the gas could no longer be used, and the Gu worms within the Black Beast mercenary group would naturally not be activated.
“I am not reconciled… I am a priest, I am the one who controls God…”
Shamuhaza seemed to realize that he had lost his chance to turn the tide, and his facial features were completely distorted. He never thought that after betraying everyone, he would die here. What made him even more unwilling was that his Dream Gu Worm had not yet been successfully cultivated.
"There is no god in this world, nor does it need a god."
However, Bolt coldly twisted the greatsword in his hand, shattering Samukha's heart, and said to him in an icy tone, Samukha's eyes still filled with intense resentment, before he fell to the ground.
Bolt looked at Samukha lying on the ground, lifeless and without a heartbeat, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Before Samukha turned against him, he valued Samukha highly and even planned to make him the vice-captain. But now he had to end it all himself. Fortunately, there was now Mr. Akizuki. In terms of special abilities, Mr. Akizuki was not much worse than Samukha.
"Boss! Something terrible has happened! Qiuyue, Mr. Qiuyue has been assassinated! It looks... it looks like the wound was caused by the eldest princess's sword... Ah!"
However, Bolt had barely finished thinking about this when a mercenary rushed in, frantically shouting that Akizuki Kozo had been assassinated. He also explained the origin of the wounds on Akizuki Kozo's body. Before he could finish speaking, the green aura that had been lingering in the dungeon suddenly entered his nostrils!
The mercenary collapsed to the ground in agony, and in the blink of an eye, he died in terror. The next moment, countless Gu worms crawled out of his mouth and nose, struggled for a moment, and then exploded, turning into an even denser green poisonous mist!
"Another murder?! And it was the eldest princess again?! You... deserve to die! Block the gate! Don't let a single wisp of green gas escape!"
Bolt was startled by the sudden news and his face instantly turned furious. He was about to curse when he suddenly realized that the green poisonous mist created by the Gu worms was actually crawling out of the dungeon through the passage!
Bolt was shocked and immediately activated his battle aura, bypassing the poisonous fog and blocking the passage to the outside world. His fiery battle aura evaporated all the poisonous fog, without a single drop leaking out.
"Fill the dungeon with fuel and burn the entire shrine down! Take me to see the scene of Akizuki's death!"
Seeing the power of the poisonous fog, Bolt dared not hesitate any longer and immediately gave the order to burn down the entire dungeon and shrine. He was now filled with rage over the death of Akizuki Kozo!
The mercenary group frantically poured oil and fuel into the dungeon and shrine, and in the blink of an eye, the entire dungeon and shrine were engulfed in flames!
Seemingly fearing a leak of the poisonous fog, no one stayed behind to guard the shrine. After the raging fire had been burning for more than half an hour, a charred corpse suddenly emerged from the flames!
"Bolt, you betrayed our alliance and even tried to kill me! I will make the entire Black Beast Mercenary Group pay the price!"
P.S.: Let's get some praise and tips in the book reviews! Praise me for being handsome! Tips are up to you! I'll be updating again after midnight, the author is serious!
Chapter 49 49
"I've never seen such a big diamond! It's so beautiful!"
"This diamond ring is mine! If you don't want to die, you'd better get out of here right now!"
The wealthy district of the Third Fortress, located around the City Lord's Mansion, suffered greatly as the Black Beast Mercenary Group defeated the defending knights. The mercenaries drove out all the living people and began to plunder their wealth.
Lin Qi, whose legs and body were still bandaged, held up a diamond-encrusted ring and exclaimed in amazement, drawing envious glances from the surrounding mercenaries.
A mercenary with an extremely fierce appearance snatched the ring from Lin Qi's hand and glared at him angrily. Lin Qi looked at him with fear and walked away in another direction amidst the mocking expressions of the crowd. He perfectly portrayed the image of a bullied rookie mercenary who wanted to fight back but dared not.
"Look! Fire! The shrine is on fire!"
"Boss Bolt has given the order: no one is allowed to approach the shrine. It's shrouded in poisonous fog; getting close means death. Several brothers have already died. Of course, if anyone's tired of living, they can go and die!"
Suddenly, the crowd began to gasp in alarm. The fire at the shrine had illuminated half the sky. Many people immediately wanted to see what was happening, but Bolt's voice rang out loudly, revealing that only a few mercenaries had participated in the attack on Samukha tonight, and most people were completely unaware of it.
Upon hearing that there was danger, the mercenaries immediately chickened out. They hadn't even finished looting the wealthy area yet; who would want to go back to the shrine to their death?
"The shrine is on fire. Looks like Shenmuhaza is dead. You're unlucky. Hmm? What happened to Kaguya?"
Gazing at the raging fire, Lin Qi sighed silently. After leaving the secret palace, he went straight to the wealthy area of the Third Fortress, deliberately showing his face in front of several mercenaries and pretending to be weak, letting them steal a few seemingly valuable items to deepen his impression and create an alibi for Akizuki Kozo's death.
Just as Lin Qi was feeling sentimental, a series of sounds suddenly came from the Dark Bible, and Kaguya's page of the contract was constantly jumping! This was a change that Lin Qi had never encountered since he obtained the Dark Bible. Lin Qi immediately found a secluded corner, released Kaguya, and asked her with great confusion.
“I can sense that the heart worm of that traitor Samuhaza has been activated, which means that his heart has been damaged, but he is not dead yet. Samuhaza is a very cunning person. He has a heart worm, a fake death worm, and a self-healing worm. Unless he is torn to pieces, he will soon return to normal.”
Kaguya's answer immediately surprised Lin Qi; he hadn't expected her to provide information about the Samukha! The three types of Gu worms that Kaguya mentioned left Lin Qi completely stunned!
"How could you know about the changes in the outside world? No one else can perceive the changes outside the Dark Bible."
What puzzled Lynch even more was how Kaguya knew about the changes in the outside world. After the Dark Queen and the two princesses were taken into the Dark Bible, they could not sense the changes in the outside world at all. According to them, the contract space was actually an independent castle, complete with servants and everything else. They would only be summoned when Lynch summoned them!
"His heart worm was a worm that secretly parasitized my body and grew by absorbing my lifeblood. After this was exposed, he was expelled from the shrine by our master. I always thought that the heart worm had failed, but just now I suddenly felt that the heart worm start to beat. Moreover, I can feel that Samuhaza is very weak now. However, my connection with his heart worm is rapidly weakening. I'm afraid that soon the heart worm will become Samuhaza's real heart."
A hint of anger flashed across Kaguya's zombie face as she revealed a secret Lin Qi was unaware of: how Shenmuhaza had been expelled from the shrine. Lin Qi immediately connected this to the story Shenmuhaza had told him earlier and began to fill in the blanks. Shenmuhaza, having failed in her love affair, developed a heart-stealing technique to try and steal Kaguya's heart, but unexpectedly gained a second life. Daring to attack the next generation of shrine maiden leaders naturally angered the previous generation, hence Shenmuhaza's expulsion!
"That means Samukha faked his death and fooled Bolt... I love getting a bargain."
Okay, putting aside the melodramatic plot between Shenmuha and Kaguya for now, Lin Qi deduced the truth from the fire and Kaguya's information. Immediately, a strange smile appeared on Lin Qi's face, and he sneaked towards the shrine without anyone noticing.
Shenmuhaza is a powerful Tier 3 top-tier mini-boss. If you can take him down easily, you'll be rich! Having tasted the sweetness of defeating Chloe, a Tier 3 boss, Lin Qi is naturally willing to take the risk with Shenmuhaza. Moreover, Kaguya said that Shenmuhaza is currently very weak, perhaps even lying on the ground on the verge of death. A single, gentle strike will be enough to finish him off!

Ps:
Chapter 50, 50 Cards Plot
Shamuhaza emerged from the flames like a vengeful demon from hell. His body was covered in charred marks, with only his eyes remaining intact, filled with a frenzied hatred. A fist-sized, white silkworm-like worm crawled out of Shamuhaza's mouth, constantly oozing sticky fluid from its body. Wherever the fluid touched, it peeled off like the charred skin of a roasted sweet potato, revealing new skin. This was one of Shamuhaza's trump cards: the self-healing worm.
The self-healing worm began to climb all over Samuhaza's body, spreading its mucus to every part of his body.
Even though the huge hole in his chest was covered with mucus, it did not heal anytime soon. A blood-red cocoon could be vaguely seen replacing his heart, which was slowly beating. Countless silk threads connected the blood vessels and muscles that the heart should have been connected to.
This is a heart-shaped Gu that Shamuhaza nurtured with Kaguya's lifeblood. Given a little more time, it will become Shamuhaza's new heart!
By the time Samukha's body had mostly recovered, the once plump, silkworm-like self-healing worm had become shriveled and finally stopped oozing any more slime, falling to the ground dead. After glancing at the dead worm, Samukha sighed, got up, and moved his body. He then spat out another grayish-white beetle-like worm. This was a fake death worm that had fooled Bolt's senses. However, like the self-healing worm, the fake death worm was also a one-time use worm and was already dead.
"My savings of so many years have been wiped out overnight. Bolt, I'll settle this score with you!"
Having been reborn, Samukha was no longer the mummy-like ghost he once was; instead, he was quite handsome, though his handsome face was now filled with resentment and madness.
This time, he not only betrayed everyone, but also failed to get the reward he wanted. Furthermore, because of Bolt's betrayal, he lost all his Gu worms. The ordinary Gu worms could not survive in the fire at all, and only the three life-saving Gu hidden in his teeth saved his life.
"Shamuhaza".
Samukha, consumed by madness, was already planning his next move to retaliate against Bolt when suddenly, a clear, cold female voice appeared before him.
