This isn't a souls-like game at all.

A silver ring presented to the Archbishop, the Enlightened Saint.

Slightly shortens the casting time of spells.

It is said that enlightened saints get to know each other and form organizations.

This is a gift to welcome new saints into the organization.

"Wait a minute? Why is the ring presented to the Archbishop in the hands of this bishop?"

Ye Yiyi looked down at the bishop who died with his eyes open and couldn't help scratching his head.

It seems that now he has no way to find out the reason except to ask the archbishop himself.

"But this ring can shorten the lead time for casting spells, which is perfect for a mage like me!"

Ye Yi happily put the ring on the index finger of his left hand, looked at it back and forth, and felt very satisfied.

In this way, he now has three accessories with amplifying effects.

Then he glanced at the light screen to confirm the soul echo he had harvested.

1 bishop, 5 holy blood knights, and 42 holy blood priests provided a total of 9196 soul echoes.

Adding the 6036 remaining after the upgrade, there are a total of 15232 Soul Echoes.

It’s not much, it’s just enough to upgrade one level.

Looking at the 10900 soul echoes required for the upgrade, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but sigh.

"If I keep leveling up like this, I'm afraid I won't reach the maximum level even if I kill everyone in the border area... I hope the Lord of Holy Blood won't be as stingy as in the game and only give 1 soul echoes. He's a god after all, so giving him this little is too little."

After putting the items away, he went to collect a few weapons with new combat skills.

For example, the Blood Knight's Beheading Blood Axe comes with a combat skill called [War Cry].

【Inspiring War Roar】

Skill cost: 15

A combat skill that boosts emotions and attack power through battle cries.

During the effective time of the combat skill, the attack power of the jump attack is particularly significantly improved.

Consumes focus to slightly increase energy recovery speed.

"That's a pretty good combat skill. I can use it when I play with the giant sword later... I should find a place to brush up on my proficiency in various combat skills later."

In addition, Ye Yiyi also harvested a lot of divine blood metal and a whole box of 32 blood coagulation gems.

[Divine Blood Metal·Lord of Holy Blood]

Item Description: Red metal soaked in the pure blood of the Lord of Holy Blood.

One of the materials used to make props, it can also be used to cast weapons and armor with excellent performance.

Pure divine blood is the life essence of the gods. It is inexhaustible and has many uses.

Therefore, the greed and spying on foreign gods never stopped from the beginning to the end.

"How pitiful! These gods who have come to escape..."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi shook his head repeatedly.

These gods who have lost their power are almost like Tang Seng. Everyone wants to bite off a piece of flesh from them.

Next it was time to divide the spoils. As a companion, Eurost could also provide Ye Yiyi with soul echoes from the enemies he eliminated, so Ye Yiyi didn't mind giving him half of the spoils.

But the old hunter was very open-minded about it. He only picked up 10 blood-clotting gems and did not take any of the rest.

According to him, you get what you put in.

Even if he took away these blood-clotting gems, he would convert them into imperial banknotes according to the market price and remit them to Ye Yiyi.

He doesn't need that much anyway, so he might as well sell the extra ones to the Church of the Hunting God for some money.

"I will help you register as a hunter assistant in the Hunting God Church. If you obtain unnecessary or redundant items in the future, you can sell them to the church in exchange for money."

"Assisting hunters?" Ye Yiyi was a little curious. "Is this considered a temporary job?"

"Of course not. To be more precise, this is a partnership with the Church of the Hunting God," Eurost replied. "If you have information on other gods, you can provide it to the church. We are always generous."

Ye Yiyi understood that this was considered as obtaining the oath of the Hunting God Church.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the two came to the elevator.

He inserted the key into the elevator, and the mechanism started, carrying the two people upwards.

Not long after, the elevator stopped next to a reservoir filled with blood.

Ye Yiyi stared into the river of blood and couldn't help but hold his breath.

"That is, the offspring of the eagle with spread wings!"

Chapter 102 [The Contaminated Eagle] (Updated 10/31)

The eagle with spread wings once fought against the curse alongside the Principality of Rit and later became the totem of the principality.

It is the origin of the Eagle Knight and a symbol of sacrifice and honor.

It was an ancient existence engraved on the main gate, on par with the ingenious skills of one of the ancient kings.

Today, the eagle with spread wings has long disappeared, and its offspring are imprisoned, trapped in a drainage pipe that never sees the sun.

In the huge reservoir of blood, there is an extremely huge eagle.

Its lower body was encased in dark golden blood, while its upper body was exposed.

Several extremely thick iron chains extended from the surrounding walls, which were full of claw marks, pierced through the eagle's wings and trapped it.

Perhaps soaked in divine blood, its flesh was a mixture of iron grey and dark gold.

And on its chest, a huge bloody hole was particularly conspicuous.

It was the wound caused by a large piece of flesh being dug out directly from the chest. A huge beating heart could be faintly seen inside. There were golden threads extending outwards from around the heart, and golden light bloomed along with the eagle's slow and heavy breathing.

"That is, the offspring of the eagle with spread wings!"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but hold her breath, fearing that the sound she made would disturb the eagle's sleep.

Eurost, who was standing beside him, was fascinated by the sight, but when he saw the eagle's miserable condition, murderous intent and evil spirits appeared in his eyes.

"Damn the Holy Blood Cult! Such beautiful and great creatures were tortured like this by them!!"

No one can help but feel sad and angry about this tragic scene.

Like Eurost, Ye Yiyi, who had once been in a prison van, also felt resentment.

No one wants to be bound. An eagle should soar freely in the boundless sky, not rot in the sewer like a piece of rotten meat.

He looked around the reservoir, which was relatively narrow compared to before, feeling angry and a little confused.

"Where is the other offspring of the Spread-winged Eagle?"

"There are two offspring of the Spread-Winged Eagle?" Eurost was stunned when he heard this and started looking for them as well.

"It's not here. It might have been taken somewhere else by the Holy Blood Cult."

"Maybe……"

Ye Yiyi looked at the offspring of the eagle with spread wings again, pulled out the silver spear of the Eagle Wing Knight from behind, and spoke softly.

"I will give it back its freedom."

But Orostra stopped him and pointed grimly at the dark golden blood in the reservoir.

"Your Excellency, look! That's unfiltered divine blood, filled with divinity. You can't get close to it, or you'll very likely contract bloodthirstiness!"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."

Ye Yiyi tried to break free. "I once stayed in the cursed black fog for over an hour and was fine. It's just a little divine blood. It has no effect on me."

"Ah?!" Eurost was stunned.

"Without some real skills, how could I dare to remove the curse? Do you think my life is too long?"

"I understand." Eurost was silent for a moment and let go of his hand.

"If anything happens later, please take care of it for me." He took out the dung beetle and handed it to Eurost.

Looking at the old hunter's shocked expression, Ye Yiyi suddenly realized that his words sounded like his last words, so he hurried to explain.

"I'm saying don't let it come into contact with the divine. This little guy is my friend, and I plan to help him grow bigger and stronger!"

"Sir, please don't scare me..." The old hunter breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Then Ye Yiyi set out to the front of the reservoir, facing the eagle with spread wings.

He looked down at the silver spear of the Eagle-Wing Knight in his hand, as if he saw the Eagle-Wing Knight who had never let go of the weapon even after his death, even after he turned into a skeleton and was hung up in the web woven by the Nephila spiders.

Did the knight who sacrificed his life for his country, never taking a step back, and lived his life with sacrifice and honor, bearing the name of Eagle Wing, ever think:

Will I use his weapons to set the eagle free?

"call……"

He let out a long breath, then leaped high like an eagle, holding the silver spear high in his hand.

Eagle Wing Surprise Attack!

The translucent, plump eagle wings spread out behind him, and as they waved, a strong wind blew up, stirring up waves in the lifeless dark golden divine blood.

He leaped over the divine blood, controlling his wings as he rushed towards the fleshy cavity on the chest of the outstretched eagle.

The silver spear cut through the air and went straight into the slowly beating heart.

"Wow!!"

The eagle suddenly opened its eyes, which flashed with blood-red light, and let out a shrill scream.

A violent gale blew up out of nowhere, sweeping up the dark golden divine blood and transforming it into a golden whirlwind, cutting through the surrounding objects like sharp eagle claws.

“Bang!!”

Ye Yiyi's figure turned into an afterimage, flew out heavily, and hit the metal wall hard!

"What?" Eurost widened his eyes and ran towards Ye Yiyi.

"do not come!!"

Ye Yiyi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Quick, take my dung beetle and find a place to hide. There's divine contamination in that strong wind. It's fine if I get touched, but it's all over for you!!"

"hateful!"

Eurost gritted his teeth and watched the strong wind turn into a tornado and suck up the divine blood in the pool. In the end, he listened to Ye Yiyi's warning and turned around and fled with the dung beetle.

He was right. Divinity might not be a problem for Ye Yiyi, who could move in the cursed black fog, but for Orost it was a death sentence.

He was holding the dung beetle that Ye Yiyi asked him to take care of in his hand, and he couldn't let this trust down.

Besides, he was just avoiding the divine gale, not that he couldn't support Ye Yiyi.

Placing the dung beetle on his shoulder, Eurost drew his pistol and took out his crossbow.

Seeing the old hunter obediently find a place to hide, Ye Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A high but mournful hymn sounded in the void, and the woman's screaming chant contained a hint of madness.

The simplified light curtain came in front of him, pulling out a long black groove.

"Wow!!"

As the offspring of the eagle spread its wings and screamed crazily, the black groove was rapidly filled with a bright red blood bar, and eight big words appeared on the blood bar.

[The polluted eagle]

Above the health bar, there is a black groove, in which a dark golden strip gradually slows down its growth.

"Resistance to divine pollution..."

Ye Yiyi looked down at his empty hands again, and finally looked at the bloody hole on the chest of the eagle with outstretched wings.

A silver spear was inserted into the violently beating heart.

"Tsk...I didn't hold the gun steady."

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but smack his lips, then took out the living amber stick in one hand and the ferocious and broken fang in the other.
