Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 19 Return
Li Nanke walked out of the car and stepped into the rain. The heavy rain soaked him in an instant, and the strong wind whistled in his ears like the roar of a devil from hell.

Soon, the angry voice of an armed monk was heard from the car: "Your Excellency the Bishop, I am Reinhold..."

"Yes, Abbes Town, that's it!"

"No, the other armed monks can't come in, and even if they can, they'll be too slow!"

"Please send at least ten, no, twenty... as many steam-powered airships as you have..."

"The bombing coordinates are..."

[Dreamer, you have taken back the steam carriage and contacted the church, successfully completing the final node! ]

【You can return immediately! 】

[Final node reward: trait 'armed' (to be claimed)]

[Because you have triggered the hidden node, you have not yet completed the node while deeply touching the node. ]

[Therefore, you get up to five extra hours of stay. You can choose to return at any time within the time limit, but you will return immediately after the hidden node is completed! ]

He looked at the dark sky and murmured, "I am leaving like this... Why do I feel reluctant to leave?"

Turning back into the carriage, Reinhold had already finished reporting to the bigwigs of the church.

At this time, the armed monk looked angry and gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it, if this is all a conspiracy, Liliana's death should be blamed on them... I will make them pay the price after I get out!"

"Sir, count me in. Although my power is insignificant, it is a bit lonely to walk alone on the dark road. I hope I can bear this hatred with you."

Reinhold was startled for a moment, then he patted his apprentice's shoulder with his trembling hands, gritted his teeth in pain.

"Who said your power is insignificant... I was prejudiced against you before. In fact, you are the best apprentice I have ever seen. Liliana was right about you."

He looked at the chainsword leaning against the corner of the carriage, his eyes a little dazed: "William, from now on, Liliana's weapon will be used by you."

"You are her student, and her legacy...should be inherited by you."

As the armed monk finished speaking, a synchronized prompt sounded and blood-red text appeared.

[You have met certain conditions and received an additional reward: unconditional exchange qualification for the weapon 'Killer Chainsaw Sword'! ]

Li Nanke was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted. Under the gratified gaze of the armed monk, he slowly said, "Sir, I will definitely not humiliate the teacher's reputation."

The armed monk seemed to suddenly remember something and pointed to the seat in the sedan and said, "I almost forgot that there is a rune scroll 'Armament' engraved by the church there. It is the reward for apprentices who pass the trial and advance. If you master this rune, you will be able to use the church's chainsaw weapon normally."

Li Nanke had already searched the carriage, even lifting up the seat cushions to look through them, but there was no reward hidden under the seats.

However, at this moment, he saw a layer of bright white light emitting from the storage box under the seat.

He lifted the seat in the carriage and picked up the parchment scroll that suddenly appeared in the storage box. The yellowed parchment scroll was engraved with complicated runes, and its image looked like blooming fireworks.

Li Nanke had absorbed the characteristics several times and was well prepared for the mental erosion caused by the runes.

However, this time what he saw was not a giant creature under the sea, but a glowing humanoid creature above the clouds, which gave him an inexplicable feeling of holiness and glory.

But the mental erosion brought by that creature is no weaker than that of the giant underwater creature, and it is even more powerful and terrifying.

After getting rid of the illusion of mental erosion, Li Nanke was covered in cold sweat and his feet felt a little sore.

Unlike the previous two times of absorbing traits, this time the 'armament' is no longer connected to the 'beastial' mark, but is connected to 'humanity'.

[You have received the final node reward: trait 'Armament'! ]

[Trait: Armed]

[Subordinate: Humanity]

[Rank: 0] [Level: 0/10]

[Details: This trait can add unique energy efficiency to your melee weapons, making them more lethal, and can also provide a certain driving ability for melee weapons. ]

[As the level of this trait increases, the lethality of your melee weapons will continue to increase, and you may even gain proficiency in most melee weapons...]

[Note: Congratulations, you have finally reached the state of being a lowly person... no, the state of being one with the sword. ]

Li Nanke grasped the hilt of the chainsword, and with a thought, the 'armed' trait took effect.

The chainsaw sword in his hand seemed to come alive and become a part of his body, which he could control at will like his hands and feet.

A slight buzzing sound was heard, and the teeth on the single-edged blade began to rotate slowly.

It's just that the characteristics that have not been upgraded have little power, causing the saw teeth to rotate extremely slowly. The naked eye can easily follow the rotation speed of each saw tooth, and the lethality is very limited.

"This is normal. When you return to the church to study the 'Spiritual Meditation' course, you will be able to gradually strengthen the power of the runes. Then the 'Armed' rune will be able to exert its maximum power, and you will become a true armed monk... Hey!"

Reinhold paused in the middle of his speech, and saw the speed of the chainsaw sword's teeth gradually increased, and the buzzing sound became louder and louder.

In the blink of an eye, those sharp teeth were spinning at high speed. Even if one strained one's eyes to distinguish them, one could only see some afterimages, turning this weapon into a complete lethal weapon.

"Damn it! Is this kid really a genius?!"

……

Li Nanke climbed onto the roof of a tall residential building in the rain, glancing at his pocket watch from time to time.

This place is far away from the deserted beach on the southwest side, and is blocked by other buildings. Through the heavy rain, you can only see the sea behind the beach, but cannot see the beach directly.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky...

"coming!"

At the same time, the sky roared and the earth trembled!

Countless dazzling flames burst out from the sky, like several small suns falling!

A big hole was torn in the arched sky, and through the broken 'sky' one could see the azure sky, the bright sunshine, and the huge black clouds outside!
The streamlined and sturdy hull and the huge inflated airbag were only partly visible from the huge crack in the sky.

It is the iron behemoth that dominates the sky with the church, the war machine that tears apart the front lines of the war of faith, and the steam-powered airship that makes countless heretics wail in fear!

The huge monster passed silently across the shattered sky, casting a huge shadow that was enough to make people tremble, and the bomb pod filled with countless bombs under the hull had already been opened...

Countless black spots fell from the sky, tearing through the rainy sky covering the town and bursting into brilliant light.

The arched sky created by the evil force completely collapsed, the rainstorm and strong wind stopped, and the many huge monsters occupying the real sky outside showed their terrifying fangs.

Mushroom clouds bloomed from the barren beach, and the devastating explosion was enough to destroy all living creatures!
His eyes were stinging and turning red, and he couldn't help but shed tears. Li Nanke quickly jumped off the building and lowered his body to resist the subsequent shock wave.

The glass of buildings shattered and they were on the verge of collapse under the continuous shock waves of the explosions.

The earth was shaking and trembling, and even if you covered your ears tightly, you couldn't cover up the roar of the explosion!
This devastating bombing lasted for more than ten minutes before Li Nanke heard the synchronized prompt sound and bloody words appeared in his vision.

[Dreamer, you have completed the hidden node: Destroy the 'Stranded Wanderer - Orfanas'! ]

[Hidden node rewards: main substance 'Deep Sea', unlock some special exchange permissions, improve dream settlement score! ]

【Returning...】

Along with the appearance of the synchronous prompt, surging darkness swept in like a rolling wave, and the deafening roar was like a tsunami, engulfing everything in sight and covering all sensory perceptions...
