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

To his surprise, the steel door was not locked and opened easily when he pushed it.

"It seems that the archbishop has already known that there is an unwelcome guest." Eurost said jokingly.

"The fighting was so noisy just now, he can't pretend not to know."

Ye Yiyi pushed the door open and walked in. "This just saves us the trouble of looking for the key."

At the bottom of the tower is a spacious, deserted hall. The surrounding walls are covered with self-luminous material, and the faint cold light barely illuminates the surroundings.

Looking around, Ye Yiyi found a spiral staircase leading to the upper level.

The first floor of the tower was empty, with nothing but stairs.

"It's too simple..."

Ye Yiyi thought to himself and walked up the stairs.

Go all the way up to the second floor.

This seemed to be the archbishop's residence. In the empty hall there was only a bed, a desk, and an open window.

Strong winds and heavy rain blew in through the window, and the ground in front of the window was already filled with water.

Eurost walked to the desk, looked around, and then picked up a stack of books and flipped through them.

"The Archbishop is actually interested in reading this kind of novel?" The old hunter was a little surprised.

"What novel?" Ye Yiyi looked at the simple wooden bed and turned around when she heard the voice.

"It's one of those cheesy love stories between knights, princesses, and dukes, mixed with a lot of erotica."

Eurost put the novel back on the table and shook his head. "It's hard to imagine that this is a book found on the archbishop's desk. I always thought that only workers and peasants would like this kind of thing."

"An archbishop isn't born an archbishop." Ye Yiyi said as he walked towards the stairs, "Let's go up and take a look."

Stepping onto the third floor, Ye Yiyi saw a pile of empty mahogany boxes.

The box was open, and there was a thin layer of black soil underneath.

There's nothing here either, it seems to be just a place to store miscellaneous items.

Continuing up to the fourth floor, Ye Yiyi came to a garden full of flower pots.

There were lamps on the ceiling emitting warm light, and the many flower pots in front of me were filled with bright red flowers.

The world before my eyes seemed to suddenly become brighter.

Ye Yiyi tried to touch the flowers, but did not see any light curtain pop up, which meant that they were just ordinary flowers and there was nothing special about them.

At this time, he noticed that there was a pile of dark soil and clean clay flower pots on the ground beside him, and next to it was a large mahogany box full of soil.

Eurost picked up the various small shovels hanging on the wall with a thoughtful expression.

"These are gardeners' tools," he said.

"What do you mean? The Archbishop was a gardener?"

"I don't know." The old hunter hung the shovel back on the wall and looked back at the small but well-organized garden.

"But if it's just a hobby, you don't need professional gardening tools."

Ye Yiyi looked down at the bright red flower and suddenly thought of the sentence she saw in the item introduction of the True Spirit Echo of the Lord of Holy Blood.

He came to the glass window and looked at the vast land outside the house shrouded in darkness.

"Are there any flower fields after crossing the bridge?" he suddenly asked.

"They're both west and south of the Calamity Rift," Orost replied. "Right now, you can probably only see the remains of the flower fields."

"what happened?"

"There are a lot of star-speckled butterflies there, eating up all the flower fields."

"Is it okay after eating..." Ye Yiyi was speechless.

In the game, the Star-Dot Butterfly is a large insect named after the star-like sparkling spots on its wings.

This butterfly feeds on flowers and sometimes eats humans for a change of pace. The star-shaped phosphorus powder on its wings can be used as props.

If they were there, it would be normal for the flower fields to become ruins.

"What's wrong?" Eurost was very curious why Ye Yiyi asked this.

"Nothing, do you know what kind of flower this is?"

"I don't know. I just know it's not dangerous and can't be used as medicine."

"That's a very Hunter-like answer."

Burying the doubts deep in my heart, I continued to go up the stairs.

The fifth floor was still a garden. After walking about two floors up, Eurost suddenly found something wrong.

"There is a mezzanine in this tower." Looking at the wall next to the stairs, he reached out and patted it.

"Clap!"

The walls were thick and no hollow sounds were heard.

"That's normal." Ye Yiyi said, "The key I got from the Holy Spirit before should be used to unlock this place."

He looked up the stairs, "And up there, almost to the top of the tower, I hear the sound of a storm."

"Let's go. Don't keep the Archbishop waiting."

The two came to the end of the stairs, pushed open a narrow door, and arrived at the top of the tower where the storm was blowing.

Looking up, four thick metal pillars extended from the edge toward the sky, turning in mid-air and intersecting vertically to form a cross shape.

There are a large number of sharp scratches on the pillars, which reminds people of some huge and sharp claws.

"This is where the eagle with spread wings rests." Ye Yiyi suddenly said.

"...and it's also the highest point in the city."

Amid the howling wind, a cold and hoarse voice continued Ye Yiyi's words.

"The Archbishop... he is here indeed." Eurost clenched his cane.

Ye Yi stepped into the rain and followed the sound towards the tall figure standing on the edge of the tower, looking into the darkness.

“I have always believed that only when one stands at a high place can one see things that are otherwise unseen.”

The Archbishop of the Holy Blood Order said softly.

“If you don’t have the corresponding ability, even if you stand high up by luck and chance, the clouds and mist will obscure your eyes and you will end up not being able to see anything.

"Ability and position must match, otherwise you will mess up and make mistakes that you can't make up for."

"You want to become a god, but do you have enough ability?" Ye Yiyi said softly.

"You're wrong." The archbishop shook his head and turned around. "My abilities are sufficient. What I lack is the position of a god."

"Hmph! How shameless!" Eurost snorted coldly.

The archbishop was tall, with deep eye sockets, a hooked nose and a mouth as thin as a knife that was extremely conspicuous.

A middle-aged man who looks gloomy.

The archbishop ignored Eurost, looked into Ye Yiyi's eyes, and suddenly asked.

"Did you take the blood beads from Linhe Village?"

"Linhe Village?" Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect the other party to suddenly mention this.

"I took it."

He nodded, having nothing to hide.

"A priest died because of you." The archbishop looked at Ye Yiyi quietly and said softly, "I had to kill him and use the blood in his body to fill the gap."

"Died because of me?" Ye Yiyi suddenly laughed, "Then it's a good thing he died. It's a pity I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have opened champagne to celebrate!"

"never mind……"

The archbishop shook his head, as if he felt that he could not communicate with Ye Yiyi.

"You should commit suicide," he said softly. "You have killed so many of my bishops. You should pay for it with your life."

"So you knew?"

Ye Yiyi said with a smile, "Do you know you're still watching from such a high place? Are you happy to see me slaughter all of your Holy Blood Cult?"

"They have fulfilled their responsibilities, but the gap in capabilities cannot be made up."

"You're right, the gap in ability is irreparable." Ye Yiyi sneered, "If you want me to die, then please try it yourself."

"Haha~"

The archbishop chuckled softly, and his body slowly left the ground and floated into the air.

When Eurost saw this scene, his pupils constricted.

"Then let's give it a try." He said softly, extending his hand forward, with arcs of electricity appearing at his fingertips.

"boom!!"

A dazzling pillar of lightning suddenly fell and engulfed Ye Yiyi's figure.

"what?"

Eurost stepped back in shock, looking at the thick lightning pillar in front of him that had almost turned into a solid entity, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at the archbishop!

“You can cast spells without using the Psalm?!

"It's impossible for a human to do this. You... who the hell are you?!"

"You're right, he is indeed no longer a human being." Ye Yiyi's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Oh?" The archbishop stared over with an interested expression.

As the lightning column dissipated, charred leaves of the magician's robe emerged from it one by one.

A simplified light curtain flew over, drawing a long black groove in front of it.

As the hymn sounded in the void, the bright red blood bar filled the groove, and nine large characters appeared above the blood bar.

[Degraded God, Holy Blood Archbishop]

"Let me see who is more powerful, you, a degraded deity, or the Lord of Holy Blood!"

As Ye Yiyi sneered, the archbishop's face suddenly became cold and stern.

"court death!"

Chapter 118 [Stagnation and Degradation of Gods] (Added 14/35)

At the highest point of Linhai Tower City, an eagle with spread wings once soared over the entire city from its towering tower.

A feast of thunder, lightning, fire, storm, and blood is unfolding.

The degraded god, the Holy Blood Archbishop, who mastered these four different types of hymns and could use them at will, brought down his wrath at this moment.

Thick pillars of lightning kept falling from the sky, invisible wind blades attacked, huge fireballs dropped from the sky, and a rain of blood arrows dyed the storm red.

Ye Yiyi moved around with storm steps, avoiding the lightning that fell from the sky and preventing himself from falling into the abnormal state of "paralysis".

As for the fireballs, wind blades and blood arrows, he did not dodge or avoid them at all. Relying on the permanent dominance provided by the [Ring of the King's Selection and Seal] and the completely invincible blood-locking physique, he continuously cast magic to fight against the archbishop!

As for the old hunter Eurost, he had already injected a precious potion into his heart to fight for his life. At this moment, his body suddenly swelled up, not only was his whole body red, his blood vessels bulged, and bloodshot appeared in his eyes.

His energy and strength were rising madly until they reached a limit that he could no longer bear.

The power he gained in return allowed him to ignore wind blades and blood arrows, dodge flames and lightning, and continue to attack the archbishop floating in the air with his crossbow and pistol.

The Archbishop of Holy Blood, with a gloomy expression, drove the strong wind to make his body move continuously in the air. He not only had to dodge the magic arrows that were following him, but also had to dodge the sudden bullets, iron balls, and silver crossbow arrows.

"Snapped!!"

Suddenly, he was unable to dodge and was hit in the chest and abdomen by a tracking magic arrow.

A white flash lit up, blowing his figure far away.

"Damn!!"

The archbishop's mortal body was hit by a magic arrow, and his skin and flesh were immediately blown away by the magic explosion, revealing the white ribs and various organs underneath.
