Life Dungeon Game

Golden shields formed in front of Lockway, only to be shattered instantly by Heo's knight's sword. Finally, the sharp sword forced Lockway back several steps before he completely exhausted his strength.

"how come?"

Lockwell looked up at Heo, his eyes filled with disbelief. He glanced at the red paper butterfly on Heo's shoulder. "Is that Alice? How could she possibly have such an ability?"

"you guess?"

A slight smile appeared on He Ao's lips as he raised his sword again to slash at Locke's face.

His skin was now completely covered in blood, even his hair was stained red, only his deep eyes remained the same color.

Hypermemory, fist techniques, and heavy blows, combined with the original physical attributes of this body, can instantly boost his overall physical attributes to over six thousand.

The reason he didn't use this ability before was simple: his body couldn't handle it.

When he killed the sea monster in the stormy sea, he used the combination of 'hyper memory + fist technique'. At that time, his physical attributes were only a little over 4,000 points.

However, that one moment of use almost completely deprived him of all mobility, leaving him only able to rely on his willpower to stay afloat.

Although my physical condition is better now than it was then, my physical attributes, which are at over 6,000 at peak power, are still far superior to what they were back then.

He couldn't be sure if he would still be able to move after the brief outburst, or even if his body would collapse after such intense use of power beyond its limits.

However, the situation is different now.

He Ao could feel the immense power amplified by his super memory and fist techniques flowing through his body. At this moment, his body was like a fragile balloon, filled with gas far exceeding its limits.

In principle, his body should have been 'blown up' by this powerful force long ago.

But at this moment, in addition to the powerful force amplified by his super memory and fist techniques, another twisted and vibrant power was constantly emerging in his body.

This power was constantly repairing the injuries to his body caused by the powerful force tearing at it, holding his body back from the brink of collapse.

This is the question He Ao just asked the little girl in the red dress: he asked her if she could quickly and extensively 'treat' his body in a short time.

He eventually received a positive answer.

But as the little girl in the red dress transformed into a red paper butterfly and landed on his shoulder, her powerful life force surged into his body, and the red color on the butterfly rapidly faded.

The effectiveness of this treatment is likely to be limited and cannot be maintained indefinitely.

"With this power, you cannot defeat me; you cannot comprehend the greatness of eternal light,"

Lockway's expression turned completely grim, and strands of golden silk spread out from the void, blocking Heo's knight's sword.

The moment the golden threads spread out, a golden 'glove' covered his palm. He twisted his hand and grabbed Heo's knight's sword. At the same time, a golden dagger appeared in his other hand and stabbed towards Heo's neck.

Heo calmly stared at him, then suddenly raised his knight's sword and cut the golden thread in front of him. At the same time, he held the scabbard in his left hand and raised it diagonally forward to block Lockway's short knife.

Then he did not hesitate.

He raised his right foot and delivered a powerful frontal kick to Locke's abdomen.

Rockaway was completely caught off guard by the attack and was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.

The kick landed squarely on his injured abdomen, turning his face pale.

No matter how much power he increases, he can still feel pain.

Heo calmly watched him, raised his hand and planted the white scabbard into the ground, then gripped the knight's sword with both hands.

A blood-red paper butterfly spread its wings on his shoulder.

The patterns covering Rockaway's body were still glowing, and in his spiritual vision, the strange radiance that seemed to come from eternal light, which made up the entire church, was constantly surging towards Rockaway's body.

Although he used the rituals of the Old Church, he was still able to receive the support of the eternal esoteric creations when receiving the blessing of eternal light.

Rockaway's physical attributes are already close to 7,000, but with the influx of these rays of light, his power is still increasing.

However, He Ao's current 'burst state' cannot last long.

Time is not on He Ao's side.

Moreover, Rockaway may not be the last B-level combatant in this church.

Rockaway stood up, looked at Howe, and opened his arms, revealing a golden staff in his palm.

He now realized that letting Heo get close was not a good thing. As long as he kept his distance and stalled for time, he would be the one to win.

The biggest difference between the rituals of the Old Church and the rituals of the Tantric Church is that the speed of power enhancement is slower. Even if he has completed the sacrifice well in advance and does not ask for the blessing at that time, but instead uses a special secret method to let the blessing come at the right time, it is still the same.

The speed at which blessings are bestowed is not affected by the timing of the sacrifice.

This is not as fast as the Eternal Secret Sect's method of instantly unleashing one's power by simply squeezing the divinely bestowed pendant between one's hands.

However, the problem with the Divine Pendant is that it is controlled by the upper echelons of the Eternal Secret Cult, and even with his status, he cannot gain much and is subject to their control.

Unlike Old Catholic rituals, which only require preparing enough offerings to enhance the power of something as much as desired, these rituals do not.

He gripped the knight's sword with both hands, staring at the golden staff in Lockwell's hand.

This guy learns very quickly and has excellent combat talent.

He raised his sword and stepped forward, slashing horizontally at Locke's upper body.

Lockway lowered his body, using his staff to block Heo's knight's sword. A burst of intense light exploded on the golden staff, blowing up wood chips from the ground like a storm.

However, this time He Ao did not cut the golden staff in half.

After his defenses were breached several times by Heo, Lockway learned his lesson and directly condensed all the divine power he could release into a long staff, abandoning all those fancy tricks.

If the divine pendant he received from the esoteric sect wasn't insufficient and its materializing power wasn't strong enough, he would have prepared to build a protective shield around himself and hide inside like a turtle.

At that moment, He Ao's attack failed, so he immediately turned and slashed downwards at him, which was blocked by Locke's swinging club.

The intense light burst forth once more.

While wielding a sword with both hands is not as flexible as wielding it with one hand, it is faster, more powerful, and can often achieve more difficult angles than a one-handed sword.

The entire hall trembled as the two fought.

As the supposed divine power supporting the hall was gradually drained away by Lockwell, the hall's defenses seemed to weaken.

This time, blocked by the long staff, Heo did not raise his sword again, but instead slashed the blade along the staff towards Lockwell's fingers holding the staff.

Rockwell immediately let go, his hands moving in a swift, interlocking grip, one hand in a clenched, the other in a raised grip, until he had his hands on the very top of the long stick.

Without hesitation, he swung the stick over his head, spun it in the air, and chopped it horizontally at He Ao's forehead.

He Ao immediately drew his sword and returned to defend.

Rockwell had originally intended to use offense as defense, but seeing Heo's defensive move, he did not hesitate to step forward, swing the long stick over his head again, and chop it vertically towards Heo's forehead.

He Ao drew his sword again to defend, but was forced to take a half step back.

Lockway has less combat experience than Howe, but he is stronger than Howe.

Relying on this momentum, he continued forward, crossing the hall diagonally, and forced He Ao to the front of the tightly closed, huge stone door.

"go to hell!"

He seized the opportunity to rise up and smash downwards with all his might.

He Ao's sword, which he had used to block the stick, was smashed open by the immense force, and his entire body leaned back against the door.

Without hesitation, Lockwell held the long stick horizontally, took half a step forward, and thrust it directly into Heo's heart.

He Ao dodged to the side.

boom--

With a deafening roar, the stone gate was pierced open like foam by the long stick, creating a huge hole about two meters in diameter. Debris flew everywhere, revealing the dark and deep space behind it.

As the dust and debris obscured his vision, Lockwell drew his baton and, with all his might, swung it at Heo's face.

He Ao raised his sword to block, but was struck down again by the blow, his body tilting downwards as he fell to the ground.

Locke immediately lunged forward and swung his club at Heo.

He Ao dodged by flipping over, and the golden staff smashed the floor and tiles at the same time, revealing a deep, dark hole beneath the ground.

Rockwell didn't stop there; he turned around and swung his stick at Heo's chest again.

This time, He Ao forcefully blocked his chopping stick with his sword. Then, as he raised his stick to chop again, He Ao rolled in front of him and slashed at his knee with his sword.

boom--

With the sound of the long staff hitting the ground, Lockway's knee was slashed by the knight's sword, blood splattering out, and he briefly lost his balance.

He Ao took the opportunity to pull himself away, roll over, and stand up.

But the intense pain did not stop Lockwell. He forcibly sealed the wound with granulation tissue, looked at Heo who had just gotten up and was not yet on his feet, seized the opportunity, and swung the stick down in his face.

However, the leg injury still caused his movements to become slightly slow and deviate.

On a real battlefield, any delay is fatal.

With one hand holding the sword, He Ao forcefully pushed aside the long stick that had been split open, and Lockwell's body moved forward along with the force of the stick's downward slash.

At that moment, He Ao's sword moved upwards, sweeping over the long staff, leaving a crescent-shaped mark in the sky as it swung forward, the sharp tip of the sword slicing across Lockway's neck in an instant.

That's where one of Rockwell's two remaining energy gathering points is located.

"Cough cough cough-"

Heo sheathed his knight's sword, covered his mouth, coughed violently a few times, and staggered forward, bypassing the hole that Lockheed had just created.

He walked past me.

Rockwell stared wide-eyed ahead, his face still bearing the last traces of anger, malice, and disbelief.

His internal energy circuits have collapsed.

The golden staff shattered with a crash, turning into scattered light.

Blood gushed out like a fountain from Lockwell's neck, blooming into crimson flowers behind Heo.

His body leaned forward, as if he had been pushed forward, and fell into the huge hole he had just created.

The silent darkness ripped away his astonished face and the remaining gold-threaded white robe, leaving only an empty abyss.

The blood-red paper butterfly had stopped at the edge of the void at some point, watching his body being swallowed up, before slowly flying up and landing on He Ao's shoulder again.

Rockaway's initial attack gained momentum because of Ho's holding back. If Ho hadn't induced Rockaway to switch from defense to offense, it would have been very difficult for him to find an opportunity to kill him when the difference in strength was significant.

The longer the delay goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be for He Ao.

Sometimes victory can make people blind and more likely to fall into traps.
