Chapter 2074 The Evil Value of Polluted Prayer

The three angry beast generals lost their reason simply because of their anger, but that doesn't mean they were all brain-damaged by their rage.

Among them, the mad dog Mogrum, true to its name, has gone mad.

The Earthshaker Golash, on the other hand, is limited by the fact that they are not a particularly good thinker; they are not very bright, and when they get angry, they become even less bright.

However, the skullcrusher Kahnzula belongs to the type that becomes calmer the angrier it gets. After two attacks not only failed to achieve any effect but also nearly destroyed itself, it did not launch any further attacks but instead maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too distant.

They seem poised to attack at any moment, yet they always manage to remain unfazed.

"I want to be an upright person. I believe that the prerequisite for being an upright person is being able to understand what other people are thinking."

"I can't say I'm an expert, but I can see that I'm fairly proficient."

"You're thinking of letting those two idiots go first, and then when they're almost dead from being tricked, you go in yourself, pretend you've been tricked too, and then take the opportunity to kill those two idiots, absorb their soul flames, and strengthen yourself."

"Right?"

The skullcrusher, Kahnzula, felt a chill run down his neck and turned around abruptly. There was no one in sight, but the chill traveled from the back of his neck to his chest.

Only then did it realize that the goat-man who had come with the Undead King was now standing in front of it.

The distance was so close that it didn't dare to move at all.

This is a biological instinct that deceives itself, as if as long as it doesn't move, time won't pass and death won't come.

But time will not stop because of an individual's will to survive.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The Skull Crusher Kahnzula chose to fight to the death, raising his arm and smashing it down on Angel.

"Your life has been taken."

Angel closed the magic book in his hand, and the next moment, countless chains burst from the ground, piercing through the body of the Skullbreaker Kahnzura, intertwining to form a huge inverted cross, making Kahnzura look like a victim nailed to a cross.

[At this moment of blessing, you will suffer; I bestow upon you the countenance of a suffering saint.]

This is a blessing-type prayer in the Crusades, which reduces your health to 1 through suffering and grants you the "Saintly State" before your health is fully restored. However, under Angel's extremely high wickedness, the blessing turns into a curse, a conspiracy, and a trap.

The ceremony for the birth of a saint turned into a malicious murder, taking away even the last drop of blood.

The blood of the skullcrusher, Kahnzula, gushed out, staining the cross made of silver chains red, defiling its sacredness, and turning into an inconspicuous dark red streak on Angel's black priest's robe.

A massive soul flame erupted, signifying the death of the Skullbreaker, Kahnzura.

This is why Angel is the second-highest theoretical output among the [Rust Gospel] characters. Once the conditions are met, allowing him to unleash the magic, prayer, or skill he desires will almost always result in death.

The moment the three enraged beasts had exhausted all of Depra's hatred points and ignored Angel, who was standing there flipping through a magic book, the Grim Reaper's scythe had already fallen.

They are only alive temporarily.

The blinding light and scorching heat instantly drew the attention of Earthshaker Gorush and Mad Dog Mogrum. The power within drew the two enraged beastmen, their hatred instantly replaced by desire. They charged madly toward the soul flames of Skullcrusher Kahnzura and Angel.

In terms of efficiency in absorbing soul flames and gaining their power, the Blessed One is inferior to the Soul Forge. The Blessed One has a prerequisite for absorbing soul flames: crushing them into unwanted fragments before absorption.

But the Soul Furnace is different. It doesn't need a crushing process. It can directly devour other soul flames simply by releasing its own soul flames.

Furthermore, as long as the soul flame is large enough, the soul furnace can engulf and devour the soul flame without even the main body needing to get close.

Earthshaker Gorush and Mad Dog Mogrum were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye they were close to the area covered by their Soul Furnace. At this point, even if Angel crushed the Soul Flame of Skullbreaker Kahnzula, he wouldn't have time to absorb it, and it would only benefit Earthshaker Gorush and Mad Dog Mogrum.

Angel wasn't in a hurry at all. He put on what appeared to be an ornament, but was actually a special accessory that could improve reading speed, and began to peruse the magic book in his hands again.

[Advanced Class: Sage Mage LV5]

[Special Passive Skill: Soul Reading]

[No recitation is needed; simply reading is enough to unleash magic.]

The pages of the grimoire turned one by one, like the footsteps of death approaching.

"Are you deliberately trying to cause me trouble? Stand there and start casting your spell without moving."

Depp suddenly lowered his body and gripped the hilt of the long sword that had appeared at his waist.

Why is the Undead King a mage-type character? Is it because he doesn't want to fight in melee? Of course not. Objectively speaking, the Undead King is unable to fight in melee.

Even the Undead King cannot change the fact that they are skeletal creatures, with no muscles to use for power, which means they have no SP, or stamina bar.

The Undead King's Strength attribute is 0 by default, and they consume Mana during normal activities. Melee classes, on the other hand, calculate damage based on Strength, so even if the Undead King, a special race, had a melee class, it would be a waste.

Depp didn't try to obtain the Undead King before because he felt that the Undead King's ability to clear strength attributes was too cruel, and he also preferred melee combat. If he obtained the Undead King, all his advanced classes would be rendered useless.

But after living with Lucy and acting as her manager to organize concerts everywhere, he also received some sponsorships from Lucy's fans.

One of them is a special item that replenishes the Undead King's fixed power attribute of 0.

【True Crimson Moon Jewel/Mythical Grade】

[A jade-like fleshy ball made from a portion of the heart of the Crimson Moon King; when activated, it can release Crimson Moon Blood.]

Bright red blood touched the heart of Depp's skeleton, and as if it were alive, it climbed up and covered the skeleton, building a body of flesh and blood.

The moment the ultimate physical body constructed from the blood of the Crimson Moon appears, the strength attribute is reactivated, and the incomparably violent melee class is revived.

[Advanced Class: Sword Saint LV5]

Special Skill: Spatial Slash

Depp drew his sword and slashed horizontally. The vast world shifted along the path of his strike before returning to normal.

What wasn't repaired along with the world were the severed legs of the two angry beasts.
