The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Lisha was the first to enter.

Her vision went dark at first, but then it returned to normal.

Yes, light.

It's not dark behind the door, but very bright.

Lisha extinguished the torch in her hand.

She looked up and found that the rock wall above her head was a map of the starry sky, an ancient and unfamiliar starry sky.

Ilsa, Meryllu and Ailan also came in.

They also noticed the abnormality here and became alert.

"This looks like a secret base?"

After passing through the cave, Meililu straightened up and found that the ceiling of the cave was very high, at least five meters.

Ilsa walked to a bookshelf and found that it was covered with some fragments of parchment and thick dust, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.

“And it’s an altar.”

Ai Lan pointed to a place a little further away, where there was an altar that was as tall as a person. It was covered with bright red patterns and ancient carvings. A skeleton that looked like a cow was neatly placed on it. Rich light elements and warm summer breeze emanated from it continuously.

"Which church would build an altar here?"

Lisha didn’t quite understand.

"I don't know, but this altar doesn't look like the work of the eight major churches."

Ai Lan looked carefully at the altar in front of him and said with certainty.

"Could it be the old gods?"

Ilsa's eyes became alert.

The gods worshipped by the eight existing churches are all gods that are kind to the many existing intelligent races.

As to why this is so, the answer is simple, because they are all beings who have become gods from mortals within the last ten thousand years.

But the old gods are different. They are said to be born gods without emotions. They are just some kind of symbols or rules. For mortals, their existence itself is a disaster.

Most of the old gods are ancient beings that existed long ago, so they are called old gods. In contrast, there are gods that became gods in the last ten thousand years, and they are called new gods.

The reason why Ilsa was so vigilant was because she heard that the curse of disaster might be related to an old god and might be its residual influence.

"Should we leave first and go back to White Rock Town to report everything here to the Adventurer's Guild?"

Melilu was more wary of these things than Ilsa, because compared to Ilsa's half-baked understanding, she knew more and was aware of how terrifying the old gods were.

"It may be too late."

Lisha felt a little flustered.

That was her intuition reminding her frantically.

It's extremely dangerous here, leave quickly!!!

“Lisha!”

Yuzawa's voice woke Lisha from her extreme panic.

"run!!!"

Lisha said as she turned around.

But the moment she raised her foot, the originally gentle light became dazzling, and the originally warm wind became scorching hot.

The terrifying light and heat enveloped the entire secret room.

"what!"

Ilsa fell first.

She was the weakest, and the curse of disaster made it impossible for her to withstand such damage.

Ailan tried his best to put a light element shield on Ilsa and himself, which could probably block some of the damage caused by the light element.

But Ai Lan was too weak, so the effect was mediocre.

If Ailan hadn't been a light mage with good resistance to light elements, he would probably have fallen as well.

But even so she was shaky and couldn't even move her feet.

Meililu gritted her teeth and moved her feet. She barely moved to the side of Elsa and Ailan, wanting to take them out.

However, at this time, the light and heat became stronger, and even Merilulu swayed and fell to her knees.

"Youze! What should I do?!"

Lisha was the one closest to the altar, and was the one who suffered the most impact and damage.

However, because of the curse of disaster, she could not feel any pain.

But the burning sensation went deep into the bone marrow.

Lisha felt like a piece of iron being sent into a furnace, gradually melting into molten iron.

The furnace breathing method began to work involuntarily, absorbing the light and heat.

Lisha felt like she had made a breakthrough in her Furnace Breathing Technique.

But what Lisha needs now is a way to rescue everyone. This breakthrough is completely meaningless.

“Lisha, go over there!”

"what?!"

Lisha heard Yuze's response.

Yuze's voice was a little distorted and intermittent, but Lisha still managed to hear it clearly.

"Go to the altar!"

Yuzawa yelled in Lisha’s mind.

"I heard!"

After replying, Lisha walked towards the altar.

With every step she took, Lisha felt like she was melting. She couldn't even feel the existence of her hands and feet.

But Lisha continued to move forward firmly.

She didn't waver at all.

As Lisha got closer to the altar, the light and heat became more terrifying.

Ai Lan also collapsed to the ground.

Meililu sat on the ground and found it difficult to get up.

The entire secret room seemed to have turned into a huge furnace, turning everything inside into ashes.

The old wooden bookshelves had been burned to ashes.

Finally, Lisha arrived in front of the altar.

The altar was emitting a shining light.

No, to be precise, it was the small golden heart that appeared on the altar at some unknown time and was emitting a sacred and shining light.

Even the golden heart was still beating, as if it was still alive.

The beating sound continued to reach Lisha’s ears, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lisha could feel her own heartbeat coinciding with the golden heart's.

This cannot go on.

Lisha didn't know what would happen if she continued like this, but she knew that none of them would survive.

How to do?

Lisha took a deep breath, the light and heat burning her lungs, but she was unaware.

"Leave it to your instincts."

You Ze said so.

Do you trust your instincts?

Lisha understood what to do.

She held out her hands and held the small golden heart.

"Aww!"

Swallowed it in one gulp.

The golden heart turned into a stream of light and entered Lisha’s stomach.

The next moment, golden flames emerged from Lisha's body.

Everything on Lisha's body was burned, including the novice top and novice shorts given by the system, and the worn-out long sword that was as hard as an epic weapon.

Lisha struggled for a few times, and finally sat down on the old altar.

The sound of steel clashing rang in Lisha’s ears.

Lisha saw a golden bull rushing towards her angrily.

Lisha reached out her hand subconsciously.

The next moment, the magical golden bull's stomach was cut open, and it fell to the ground wailing, with something golden falling from its belly.

Lisha picked up the golden thing.

The burning light enveloped her entire body.

Lisha felt the pain she hadn’t felt for a long time.

Chapter 39: Refining and Mastering

The body is burning.

Lisha felt as if she had returned to the year when she was twelve years old.

The flames licked her body and death was approaching.

But she could only struggle helplessly.

The sound of steel clashing became more and more frequent, and Lisha's ears were buzzing.

She felt less and less aware of her own body.

It was as if everything had turned into something invisible, flowing freely on the earth.

"Lisha!!!"

At this time, Youze's voice made Lisha a little more sober.

“Stay awake!!”

You Ze shouted in an anxious tone.

"Don't be consumed by it, what you do is consume it! Just like you eat three meals a day!!"

Devour it....

Lisha felt that thinking was very strenuous, but she still took action.

Lisha tried to digest the golden heart.

The dark iron that had not been completely digested also played a certain role.

The scorching light was slightly suppressed by it.

The light and heat emanating from the secret room gradually disappeared, and all of them were concentrated on Lisha.

The only person present who was not in a coma was Merilu.

She stood up with difficulty and checked on Ilsa and Alan.

After discovering that the two people's breathing was relatively stable, he immediately released healing spells and slow healing spells in succession, and also cast blessings to strengthen the bodies on the two people. He even took out healing potions from his backpack and fed them to the two people.
