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

After flying for three or four minutes, Ye Yiyi followed the other party to a huge black lake.

"There's a lake here? Wait, what is this lake?"

The pitch-black lake water emitted a faint black mist. Ye Yiyi watched the wild boar rush straight into the lake, rolling and splashing out a large amount of black mist, and finally swam across the river and came to an island in the center of the lake.

"The island in the middle of the lake... and the skeleton?"

The island in the middle of the lake is not big and you can see the end at a glance.

Ye Yiyi saw the skeleton wild boar lying on the spot, and its huge body suddenly collapsed, turning into a large number of bones and merging into the group of bones already on the ground.

"What's going on with this place?"

He was a little confused by this strange island in the middle of the lake, the huge black lake, and the skeletons scattered all over the ground on the island.

Why did it suddenly come here?

He descended from the air and landed among the skeletons, then noticed a prompt popping up on the light curtain in front of him.

The Holy Spirit of Exorcism——The Deception of Doom [Asteria] has invaded!!!

"Wait, who?!"

Chapter 358: Daytime Moon and the Supreme Divine Corpse

Doom Deception [Asteria]

This familiar name made Ye Yiyi feel enlightened.

Different time, different place, but the one invading is the same Holy Spirit of deliverance.

Ye Yiyi really didn't expect that he would meet the existence that had invaded him in this desolate place.

Previously, in the Principality of Yrit, at the foot of the Howling Tower, he was attacked by this Holy Spirit of Exorcism.

But it wasn't so much an attack as it was a delivery.

If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been able to get the key to the Howling Towers.

But why the Divine Knight possessed the key to the residence of the Archbishop of Holy Blood remained a mystery to him to this day.

So her invasion this time was also to give him something?

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but look around, but didn't find anything like a building.

The island may have once had buildings, but today it is completely deserted and covered with countless bones.

He really couldn't figure out why this holy spirit related to the supreme god chose to invade here.

With doubts in his mind, he looked up and looked into the distance.

On the other side of the island, Astraea's dark golden spirit emerged on a giant skeleton skull.

She was still wearing the silver-gray metal plate armor and a demon mask helmet with coiled horns on her head, covering her face.

On her slightly slender waist hung a rapier on one side and a metal book on the other.

In terms of appearance, there is not much difference from the last time we met.

She looked up and around, then noticed his presence. A pair of eyes that couldn't see any emotion looked at her from afar through the mask helmet.

"Long time no see, Astraea."

Ye Yiyi flew forward, waving his wings of light, and landed on a giant skeleton skull. He loudly greeted the female knight not far away.

Being able to invade the same person twice, I have to say that we are all quite destined to be together. Why don’t we stop rushing into fighting and instead sit down and have a drink?

He wanted to say so, but when he saw the female knight looking at him, she wordlessly drew the rapier from her waist, raised the hymn book in one hand and spread it out in front of her, and filled the rapier with flames, the corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't want to talk anymore.

Why is this female donor so murderous? Can't she just have a chat like Norsley did?

But perhaps it was her dragon-human appearance that made the other party feel threatened. After Astraea cast the [Divine Flame], she continued to cast several unknown hymns.

Then, with a dim red light on her body, she bent her knees slightly and her figure suddenly disappeared above the skeleton skull.

"Uh?"

Ye Yiyi's pupils shrank and he subconsciously activated bullet time.

The speed of the scenery in his eyes suddenly slowed down. He looked around and finally turned his head to look behind him.

The female knight who had suddenly disappeared appeared behind him at some point.

She was covered in a dim red light, and in one hand she held a rapier burning with dark golden flames, with the tip of the sword pointed at his neck. At this moment, she was stabbing at him slowly, as if to kill him with one blow!

"Such a fast speed? How did she do it?"

Ye Yiyi was shocked. If she had used this trick last time, he probably wouldn't even have time to react and would have been defeated by the other party's sword.

This speed even exceeded the flash of the tower keeper Augustus!

He was about to draw his sword from his left arm, but he was horrified to notice that at this moment when time slowed down, Astralia, clad in a dim red light, slowly raised her head. Under the demon mask, a pair of cold ice-blue eyes looked straight at him.

The next moment, her slowed pace suddenly returned to normal.

The slender dagger immediately pierced through the atmosphere, and the flickering flame burning on the sword shone brightly. The dazzling light made Ye Yiyi's eyes go white.

"This is……"

He was shocked and quickly pulled out the Youjue Shaver, using the blade to block in front of him based on his feeling.

"clang!!"

After a crisp sound of metal, a powerful force came from the sword in his hand.

Ye Yiyi temporarily lost his balance and was pierced by the attack and flew dozens of meters away!

"How can this be?"

As he flew backwards, he looked at the rapidly decreasing energy bar on the side, and his heart became more and more terrified.

"She actually sped up in my bullet time?"

Similar situations have happened before, but compared to Norsley turning her head to avoid the meteorite armor-piercing cone, Astralia's action was even more shocking and terrifying.

Doesn't this mean that her speed is so fast that I can't react to it under normal circumstances?

The wings behind him emitted a black and red light, slowly dissipating the attacking force.

Ye Yiyi hurriedly canceled the bullet time before his energy bar ran out, so as to avoid being unable to fight back due to the depletion of his energy bar.

But when Vertical Pupil looked forward again, Astralia's figure disappeared from his sight again.

"Disappeared again?!"

His heart tightened, and he activated bullet time again without hesitation.

"where?"

He looked around and spotted the other person's figure again in the sky behind him.

Seeing Ye Yiyi turning her head to look back again, the female knight's sword-thrusting movements suddenly accelerated.

"Oops!"

Ye Yiyi had just turned around and swung his sword halfway when his already low energy bar ran out.

Then his eyes blurred and a blazing sword appeared before his eyes, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced his throat heavily.

"clang!!"

Another metallic buzzing sound was heard, and a huge force burst out, knocking his body down from the air until it fell into the pile of bones, splashing dust all over the sky.

"What a ghost!"

He collapsed among the skeletons with an inexplicable expression.

"How long has it been? How did she suddenly become so strong?!"

If it weren't for the same weapon, the same hymn, and even the attack position being exactly the same as last time, he would even think that this Astralia was not the same Astralia as last time!

If she had this level of strength before in the Howling Tower, let alone defeating the Holy Blood Archbishop, it would be a different question whether she could even enter the Howling Tower!

"Could it be the effect of the hymn..."

Thinking of the light red light draped over the other person, Ye Yiyi's pupils flickered and he slowly stood up from the pile of bones.

"Or perhaps she underestimated her opponent last time and let him win. After all, she only enchanted her weapon that time; the other hymns were useless.

"In other words, this is the Divine Knight's full strength now?

"As expected of a knight serving the Supreme God, you truly... should not be underestimated!"

Ye Yiyi sighed in his heart, quickly took off his fragile robe and put it away, then walked out of the pit of bones in the dust and looked into the distance.

Astralia was standing not far away at this moment, her chest rising and falling slightly, as if she was breathing softly.

It seems that the swift attack just now was not without burden for her.

Ye Yiyi made a judgment in his mind. He grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands and placed it beside his cheek, with the tip of the knife pointing forward and his body slightly lowered.

Then in the second round...

"So, it really is you..."

Astraea suddenly spoke, and her cold voice reached Ye Yiyi's ears, making him stunned.

What? It turns out this woman can talk!

"Are you just thinking of reminiscing about the past now?"

He whispered with a forced smile, "Isn't it a little late?"

"It's not a reunion, just a greeting to confirm whether you are the one."

"Then your way of greeting is really peculiar."

Ye Yiyi's face darkened. "If someone else comes, he would be dead by now, right?"

"If he's dead, then that means he's not."

Astraea said softly, "After all, this is a matter of the gods. For ordinary people, it's better to die than to become a monster in the pollution... I'm doing a good deed."

God damn good thing! ?

Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes. "Is the word compromise not in your dictionary? You can't even try to persuade them, but must you beat them all to death with one blow?"

"Death is the most gentle advice."

Astraea replied calmly, "Greed is endless, and the human heart is treacherous and unpredictable. In the face of huge profits, everything will deteriorate, including love, family, will, and faith. Nothing will remain unchanged, except... the dead."

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered a joke about the Hunting God Church that the old hunter Eurost had told him.

In order to completely prevent the spread of divine pollution, radicals believe that the source of pollution, the foreign gods, must be killed!

Conservatives, on the other hand, believe that the radicals' ideas are not radical enough, and that the best approach is to depict both humans and gods.

Eurost’s explanation at the time was: human behavior and desires are often the key to the widespread spread of divine pollution!

For example, the Holy Blood Cult that spreads bloodthirsty disease and creates crystals of divine power, and the two contaminated thieves in Garden Village.

It is precisely because of the involvement of some people that the divine pollution has spread widely and eventually become uncontrollable.

Therefore, to completely prevent the spread of divine pollution, the most important key lies in people!

That was exactly what Astralia was thinking.

Ye Yiyi looked at the female knight in front of him strangely, and suddenly an absurd idea popped into his mind.

This guy... has he ever worked in the Church of the Hunting God?

"so……"

Ye Yiyi put aside the questions in his mind and asked calmly.

"Are you also going to use death to persuade me?"

Astraea shook her head slightly, her voice unclear, and suddenly changed the subject.

"The Supreme God's Blood... is in your possession?"

"What is that?" Ye Yiyi pretended to be confused just right.

"I understand."

The female knight raised her rapier thoughtfully and pointed it forward.
