Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 46 The Priest
Crescent Church in Beginner Village #56

The deepest, sealed-off confessional.

The room was dimly lit, with the dark yellow fluorescent stones embedded in the walls serving as the only source of light.

The priest, dressed in a pale white robe, knelt before a statue of a deity.

The statue is small, only two inches tall, and is placed at the highest point on the offering table.

Fresh offerings were displayed in front of him.

Brain, heart, kidneys, large intestine.

There was also a basin of blood.

There is a table on each side of the offering table.

The area was covered with miniature clay demon statues, and behind each statue were names in bright red lettering: Zack, Moore, Arudasco, Charles...

Many of the statues have cracked.

Click!

The clay sculpture of a goat demon placed at the very front suddenly cracked without warning, its entire body covered in dense cracks.

The devout priest suddenly opened his eyes.

Pale purple eyes stared directly at the cracked statue.

"Charles is dead too?!"

The priest was visibly shaken.

Xia Er is a rare goat demon who has passed the Demon God Temple's review and is proficient in both physical and magical abilities. He has great potential and is highly regarded by the Demon God Temple. He will have the opportunity to serve in Wangyue City in the future.

He died just like that.

The witch died this morning.

The village chief died in the afternoon.

"Trouble!"

The priest was a little uneasy.

The guys who made this move were clearly targeting their demon race.

Moreover, it definitely has the ability to see through a demon's disguise.

They likely also know about the Demon Temple's plans.

"There is a traitor among us!"

"But how could a demon normally do that? Their souls are bound by shackles; if they reveal even half a word, they will die instantly."

The priest frowned deeply.

"If it's not an ordinary demon, then who is it?"

Looking at the statue of the deity on the altar.

The priest dared not think further.

He was afraid he had guessed right.

The Demon God Temple is not home to just one demon god.

Just then, a shadow slipped silently into the confessional, and a hoarse voice rang in the priest's ear.

"Someone has entered the church!"

……

……

"The church of the Crescent Moon is quite large."

Lin Hanchuan and his group had already entered the Church of the Crescent Moon God. The little wooden figure, using its detection-type talent, looked around.

He was quite interested in churches.

Someone has compiled statistics on the deities worshipped in the starting villages of the eight regions before the arrival of the game. There are a total of 124 deities, and each deity's church is unique.

Many of these are buildings for which there are no real-world examples to refer to.

"The Advent planners are truly amazing; they even managed to design a church like this!"

The church was very quiet.

No one.

Lin Hanchuan followed quietly behind the little wooden figure and the heavily armored man, his eyes half-closed.

This time, Xingchen did not come in.

Led by the legend of the underworld, they waited at the church entrance.

However, before coming in, despite being physically exhausted, Xingchen managed to send a few prayers and blessings to Lin Hanchuan and the others.

Lin Hanchuan received three.

[Soul Perception]: Within a ten-meter radius, he will immediately sense any soul present, ignoring hidden skills of rank E and below. [True Damage]: Upon hitting a target, his released skills will deal 5% true damage, ignoring defense.

[Dual-Handed Magic Mastery]: You can cast different types of spells with both hands simultaneously.

"Brother Huang, you're here!" At this moment, the little wooden figure suddenly stopped and his gaze fell on the right side of the high platform directly in front of the church.

There's a corner there.

A priest dressed in a moon-white robe came out.

【Demon Priest】—

Level: 10

Rank: Lord-level BOSS
Blood volume: 10000
Attack: 1000~2500!

Note: Demon priests are the most loyal followers of the demon god. Their purpose in being born is to dedicate everything to express their loyalty to the demon god they worship.

The priest's information appeared the moment Lin Hanchuan saw him.

Lin Hanchuan subtly shared the information with Little Wooden Man and Heavy Armored Warrior through a friend chat.

When the two saw the demon priest's "boss" title, they couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with excitement.

Since the launch of the Ninth District server, some players have already achieved the first kill of a Boss, but this is currently the first Demon Boss.

The boss is much stronger than the monsters of the same level and rank.

Correspondingly, the first kill system for bosses rewards more items.

The priest, with a compassionate expression, looked at Lin Hanchuan and the others as they entered and said, "I feel down today and need to drink water boiled with cleansing herbs. Could you please go and pick some cleansing herbs for me?"

"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained an F-level mission - [The Priest's Request]."

As the priest began to speak, a system notification sounded in Lin Hanchuan and the others' minds.

"【The priest’s request】: The priest hopes that you can help him pick 50 cleansing grasses."

Task period: 1 days

Completion reward: determined based on the final completion rate.

Failure penalty: None!

The priest was treating them like ordinary players who had come to accept a quest.

Looking at the priest, Lin Hanchuan asked, "Are there any other tasks?"

As he spoke, Lin Hanchuan glanced to his left.

Less than eight meters away, beneath the table, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy. However, the other party was hidden, and Lin Hanchuan could not directly view the target's information through a physical object like the table.

Ding!
The little wooden man also sent a message.

[Brother Huang, my intuition tells me there's something unusual under the table about eight meters to the left!]

Lin Hanchuan remained calm and waited for the priest's reply.

He was waiting for the guy hiding there to come out.

At least I need to see his information.

Of the top ten demons in the beginner village, there are still 3 left.

Besides the priest, there are two others unknown.

The one that's hidden must be one of them.

The priest glanced at Lin Hanchuan, surprised that the young man was so greedy, but his expression remained very compassionate and his tone of voice was still gentle.

"If you'd like, I'd like twenty more Jumping Rabbit skins. It seems to be getting a bit colder lately, so I'd like to make myself a blanket."

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a D-level mission—[The Priest's Expectations]!"

[The Priest's Expectations]: It's getting a bit chilly lately, and the priest wants 20 hop rabbit skins to make a blanket.

Task deadline: 1 day!
Completion Reward: Based on...

Although Lin Hanchuan was looking at the priest, he was actually using his soul perception to stare at the unknown demon under the table.

suddenly.

The demon moved.

A head, about the size of a palm, peeked out from under the table, grayish in color.

Lin Hanchuan immediately saw through the disguise and obtained the information he wanted through the system.

[Shadow Killer]

Level: 9

Rank: Lord
Blood volume: 1800
Attack power: 1000~2000
Note: Shadow Assassins are demon race creatures mutated from Shadow Demons. They have no physical form and exist entirely as souls. They like to hide in the shadows and often launch surprise attacks on their targets.
