I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

The divine punishment rain has failed.

Lynn's heart sank to the bottom as the last spear of light was annihilated.

"Heh, what a boring struggle."

In my mind, that childish, light laugh rang out again, filled with gloating mockery.

“Foolish servant, don’t you understand yet? In this river, it is immortal.”

"This dark water is the source of its power and its absolute domain."

"As long as it's still standing here, your inferior summoned creature is nothing more than tickling it."

"Roar!!!"

As if to confirm the words of the loli goddess, the guardian of the abyss let out a roar.

It seems to have grown tired of the game and is ready to launch a real counterattack.

Splash!

Accompanied by a piercing metallic dragging sound, dozens of black chains burst forth from the circular water curtain.

The chains were covered with black runes. The runes flickered slightly, each flash drawing immense death energy from the surrounding dark waters.

The temple guard reacted immediately, its holy light domain instantly contracting and condensing into a thick light shield in an attempt to resist the invasion of these chains.

However, this time, the Holy Light lost its invincible purifying effect.

The moment the dark chains touched the light shield, the runes on their surfaces suddenly lit up, and a chilling power of death erupted.

The holy light and the power of death clashed head-on, resulting in a stalemate and a state of dissolution.

The temple's protective shield of light began to dim and thin at a visible rate.

In just a few breaths, with a crisp cracking sound, the light shield shattered and turned into countless points of light.

The chains plunged in, binding the temple guard's arms and torso with an irresistible force.

The temple guard struggled fiercely, its holy light surging wildly and erupting with blinding golden flames, attempting to burn away the blasphemous chains.

But it didn't work.

The runes on the chains resonated strongly with the River Styx beneath their feet.

The dark green river water churned, and streams of pure death energy flowed continuously into it along the chains. Instead of being purified by the holy light, it suppressed the brilliant golden light, making it weaker and darker.

The temple guards' movements began to slow down.

It was completely bound!

Taking this opportunity, two points of eerie blue soul fire flickered violently in the empty eye sockets of the Abyss Guardian.

It slowly raised its other giant hand, which was not holding a shield, and reached it into the rushing River Styx beneath its feet.

The river water churned violently, and a huge whirlpool formed again.

Immediately following, amidst the mournful wails of countless souls, a giant hammer formed from compressed bones was slowly pulled from the riverbed.

The surface of that giant hammer was inlaid with countless agonizing and distorted human faces, who seemed to retain the last trace of consciousness from their previous lives, uttering silent screams in endless torment.

A heavy sense of oppression washed over me.

The Abyss Guardian raised the giant bone hammer high.

It was about to deliver a fatal blow to the temple guards.

Lynn tensed up instantly.

His gaze swept rapidly across the battlefield, finally settling on the crumbling bridge of bones beneath his feet.

The river beneath the bridge was roaring.

The monster was also bound by countless chains, the other ends of which were deeply embedded in the riverbed.

It... is bound here.

An incredibly crazy idea suddenly took shape in Lynn's mind.

We can't win.

Then the only option is to run.

There was no time to hesitate, no time to weigh the pros and cons.

Lynn took a deep breath, suppressing all his fear and distracting thoughts, and gave his final command to the bound temple guards.

"Abandon defense, unleash the Holy Light at full power, and hold it off."

……

Upon receiving the order, the temple guard's massive body trembled slightly.

It abandoned its futile attempt to break free of its chains and instead faced the abyss guardian's massive white bone hammer crashing down upon it.

Its face, composed of holy light, showed neither sorrow nor joy.

boom--!!!

The giant bone hammer, carrying immense force, slammed heavily into the chest of the temple guard.

The crisp cracking sound echoed throughout the canyon.

The temple guard's seemingly indestructible heavy armor was instantly covered with terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks.

Blinding, dazzling holy light erupted wildly from the crack.

The temple guard compressed all the remaining holy light power within his body into his arms, which were bound by chains.

It exerted its strength, but instead of being smashed away by the giant hammer, it grabbed the massive body of the Abyss Guardian.

"Roar?"

The guardian of the abyss seemed to have no idea that this "toy," on its deathbed, would not only not collapse but would instead unleash such terrifying power.

The next second, the temple guard's body transformed into an extremely dazzling golden sun.

The holy light transformed into a towering pillar of fire, erupting with a deafening roar as if everything in its path would be consumed.

At the cost of self-destruction, the temple guards forcefully suppressed the level 79 Abyss Guardian, along with the giant bone hammer, in the center of the surging Styx River!

"Right now."

The instant the holy light erupted, Lynn did not hesitate for a moment, channeling all his strength into his legs and sprinting towards the other side of the bridge.

Behind him was a scorching storm of holy light, beneath his feet lay a bridge of bones that could collapse at any moment, and in his ears came the mad roar of the Abyss Guardian, a roar filled with pain and rage.

Lynn couldn't care less about anything else; only one thought remained in his mind.

fast.

Faster.

The suppression from the pillars of holy light and fire will not last long.

Sure enough, just as he reached the middle of the bridge, the pillar of holy light behind him began to flicker violently.

The power of the Abyss Guardian was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

"Roar--!!!"

With a deafening roar, an incredibly thick black chain was forcibly broken free from the raging pillar of holy light and fire, like a black dragon ready to devour its prey, lashing out at Lynn, who was running wildly across the bridge.

The extreme sense of danger made Lynn's hair stand on end instantly.

In "The Eye of Truth," the trajectory of the chain is slowed down infinitely, but his body still cannot keep up with the speed of his thoughts.

There's no escaping it.

No.

There's also the [Fog Concealment Technique]

Just before the chains were about to strike him, Lynn's body turned into a cloud of intangible mist.

boom!!!

The black chain scraped the edge of the mist and slammed hard onto the bridge surface in front of him.

Where the chains crashed, the solid bridge surface was instantly reduced to dust, leaving a huge gap in the very center of the bridge.

Bones flew everywhere.

The violent shockwave slammed into the mist that Lynn had transformed into.

The bridge broke in the middle.

Using this tremendous force, Lynn leaped forward.

He forcibly deactivated the fog state in mid-air, and his body returned to solidity.

The other side is so close!

Lynn reached out his hand in mid-air, and just a second before the bridge completely collapsed and plunged into the dark waters, he finally touched the solid ground on the other side.

It happened the instant he landed.

A deafening roar came from behind.

The towering pillar of holy light and fire completely dissipated.

Lynn lay on the ground, panting heavily. He didn't even have time to feel the relief of surviving the ordeal before struggling to look back.

The wide river channel has completely separated the two banks.

The Abyss Guardian stood in the middle of the river, its massive body covered with terrifying wounds scorched by holy light, black blood gushing out, only to be instantly healed by the Netherwater.

It tugged at its chains, trying to cross the wide river, but those chains, which it had been using, had now become an insurmountable cage.

It was trapped in the river.

The Abyss Guardian raised its dark, massive shield and slammed it onto the water's surface, letting out a roar of impotent rage.

Chapter 134 Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood

The roar stirred up a gale that made it almost impossible for Lynn to open his eyes.

He dusted himself off, his heart still pounding wildly in his chest.

If a monster chained to the river is this monstrous, what about the more monstrous creatures deep within the Netherwater Land?

"Hehe, look at you, so pathetic."

In my mind, that lazy, childlike female voice rang out.

"You're terrified by just a lump of rotten flesh?"

Lynn remained expressionless, as if she had grown accustomed to it.

proceed if you can!

It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one who was almost whipped into a pulp by a chain.

However, the voice completely ignored his inner turmoil and instead changed its tone, continuing in a matter-of-fact manner.

"And that inferior summon of yours is utterly useless. I thought I could watch the fireworks a little longer."

Lynn looked around to make sure there were no new threats before turning his attention back to the environment in front of him.

The roar of the Abyss Guardian continued, but it was truly unable to leave the water's surface.

Behind him, the Bridge of Bones had completely broken and plunged into the surging waters of the underworld.

The escape route has completely disappeared.

Now, there's no other way but to go down this path to the bitter end.

So Lynn summoned the Holy Unicorn.

A level 60 unicorn, while not considered top-tier combat power in this undead realm, is still quite useful as a means of transportation.

Lynn flipped himself onto the unicorn, feeling somewhat at ease.

"Come on, buddy, let's get out of this godforsaken place."

The unicorn seemed to understand his words, letting out a clear neigh, and then, with all four hooves propelling it forward, it transformed into a white lightning bolt and sped upstream along the riverbank.
