He leaned forward, leaped up, and used his two swords to parry the maid's knight's sword. Then he quickly changed his move, using his left sword to deflect the knight's sword while his right sword stabbed towards the maid's fair neck.

A gust of cold wind blew, and a powerful force struck the back of He's head—an attack from the undead Vincent.

If Heo attacks the maid, the two undead will surely come to her rescue.

It's now!

He gathered the power of his super memory and activated his divine sense, and all the power flow paths appeared in his field of vision.

However, instead of attacking the undead Vincent, he leaned back and struck the undead Rorank, who was sneaking up from behind, with a powerful blow.

These undead possessed the power to defend against soul attacks, but Heo, having mastered their combat patterns and weaknesses, perfectly bypassed his defenses and instantly shattered the weak point in his soul.

In that instant, the undead Rorank's body stiffened, and a twisted hand suddenly emerged from his cheek, stretching outwards. Then, countless hands stretched outwards from his body, instantly tearing his body apart.

One after another, illusory figures emerged and then quickly dissipated into the space.

He Ao probably guessed what Ilya Ann was doing at this moment. She used C-level souls as containers, stuffed individual souls into the C-level souls as 'energy sources', and used certain methods to merge their powers, forcibly creating a pseudo-C-level undead.

No wonder the undead Vincent and the undead Frank had such crazed and twisted expressions on their faces. Anyone would go crazy if they were subjected to such manipulation.

However, He Ao had no time to ponder this question carefully. As he killed the undead Rurank, the short sword that was originally aimed at the knight maid slashed across the crescent moon mark and severed the head of the undead Vincent behind him.

This did not kill the spirit Vincent.

Vincent the Undead paused in his attack, his movements becoming disorganized, as if he were momentarily confused.

In that instant, Heo launched a mental attack, shattering the weak point in the soul of the undead Vincent.

Then Vincent's soul exploded, turning into countless dissipating souls.

At this moment, having lost the threat, the knight maid's sword flashed past the short sword and slashed towards Heo.

He raised his sword, letting the knight's sword slide diagonally upwards along the blade of the short sword and his leaning back body, perfectly avoiding this deadly attack.

His movements were fluid and graceful, possessing a strange and orderly beauty.

In fact, this smooth and effortless way of taking down two undead was based on accurate prediction of the actions and understanding of the weaknesses of the three "people".

If things had been slightly different, it wouldn't have been those two ghosts who died, but He'ao.

At this moment, He Ao once again faced a choice.

Advance, riding the momentum to take down the knight maid, is somewhat dangerous; or retreat to consolidate your gains, but there's a chance you'll be injured by the knight maid.

Clearly, the optimal solution is to move forward and press on with all our might.

But in that instant, He Ao made the decision to back down.

He moved swiftly, deflecting the knight's sword and retreating. The momentum he had built up from slaying the two undead instantly dissipated. The knight maid suddenly changed her move, pressing her advantage and piercing his left shoulder with her sword.

However, at this moment, the injured Heo

Instead of feeling frustrated, I breathed a sigh of relief.

His choice has just been changed again.

But this also proved his conjecture.

Ilyan wanted to monitor his thoughts, presumably to change his ideas at the right time, but this 'monitoring' failed. So how does Ilyan determine when to influence Heo?

Either her abilities are extraordinary enough to allow her to continuously monitor He Ao's thoughts beyond the perception of super memory.

Alternatively, she could only influence He Ao's thinking by 'observing' him, when He Ao clearly had to make a choice.

It turns out that Ilya did not have the ability to directly monitor Heo's thoughts.

When He Ao was plotting to kill the two undead, he only had one plan and no other choice; it was all or nothing.

Ilya did not intervene in his case.

However, his original plan did not include killing the knight maid directly, so when facing the knight maid, he had two choices: "advance" or "retreat." Here, Ilyaan interfered with his choice, causing him to choose the worse option.

This shows that while Ilya's ability to directly intervene in choices is abnormal, it is not perfect.

If the person whose choices have been interfered with has already realized that they have been interfered with, they will be consciously on guard and will immediately realize that they have been interfered with.

Such intervention cannot be implemented in non-selective scenarios. If the other party is stubborn and does not make a choice, there will be no intervention, and the operator will probably need to determine whether the other party is currently making a choice.

If the ability to monitor thoughts were added, these two problems could actually be avoided. However, since He Ao broke through the ability to monitor thoughts, this ability is now half useless.

Moreover, this ability may also have time intervals and limited uses, so it can't be used a second time immediately. Otherwise, Ilyaan wouldn't have cherished it so much and only used it now.

After figuring out this ability, He Ao felt a little relieved.

Once the pattern is found, there is a solution.

At this moment, the knight's sword had already penetrated Heo's left shoulder, but he did not retreat.

In fact, he had prepared contingency plans for both the "advance" and "retreat" options. Although they seemed like two options, they were actually one.

Retreat is merely a strategic retreat.

The knight's sword pierced Heo's body, which also meant that the maid was now very close to him.

A flash of red sword light suddenly appeared on the right, piercing towards the knight maid's heart.

The maid instinctively dodged to the side and drew her sword to parry.

In that instant, He's other short sword in his left hand moved forward along the drawn knight's sword.

With a movement of his left hand and the drawing of his knight's sword, the sharp point violently churned inside He's shoulder, sending waves of intense pain through him, but He's expression remained unchanged.

This red sword light was even faster than the previous one. It skillfully passed through the maid's defenses, suddenly piercing through the right side of the knight maid's body, cutting across half of her body, and piercing her heart.

"stop!"

Just as He Ao pierced the maid's heart, the crimson liquid in the entire ritual array boiled, and intense killing intent spread through the liquid.

Countless bright red liquids sprayed out like...

It gushed out like a spring, rushing towards the location where He Ao was.

At the same time, the knight maid's expression froze, and she suddenly stepped back, falling to the center of the triangle, still blocking Heo's path at the last moment.

He Ao just pierced the point where her energy converged, and at this moment the energy in her body should have already collapsed, rapidly taking away her life force.

"Your power is incompatible with the Church of Death, so you are probably not a follower of the Church of Death."

He dodged the fierce and frenzied attack of the red liquid, and walked towards the maid who was still blocking his way at the very end, carrying his short sword.

"Hmm," the maid, her stockings torn, blood soaking her clothes, her face pale, desperately shielded her private parts with a weak smile.

"But my sister saved me."

In that instant, He Ao's body suddenly darted to the side, leaping over the blood-red ditch in front of him and into the eye pattern.

A crimson wave surged forth, engulfing the spot where He Ao had just stood.

At the same time, the bright red liquid lifted the woman in the black dress whose eyes were covered by a light veil and landed next to the maid.

She reached out and groped around. "Lin, where are you?"

One after another, illusory figures emerged from the blood-red liquid, and they attacked He Ao frantically.

Although Ilya didn't say a word, Heo sensed her anger. She had essentially given up on presiding over the ritual array and concentrated most of her power to attack Heo.

He struggled to flip forward and landed in the pupil of the eye pattern.

······

"elder sister."

Lying on the ground, the maid Lin reached out and lifted the veil covering Ilya's eyes, revealing her grayish-white, lifeless, and unfocused eyes.

Ilya instinctively reached out to grab the veil, but Lin gently grasped her hand.

"elder sister,"

She gave a pale smile. "Your eyes are beautiful, very beautiful."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely.

Ilya's body froze on the spot. She hugged the woman in her arms tightly and turned her head to 'look' at Heo behind her.

"You!!!"

Her once calm and elegant face was now obscured by a twisted rage.

"ha···"

Upon seeing her face, He Ao suddenly burst into laughter. He slumped down, covered in blood, in the center of his pupils, and slowly raised the short sword in his hand.

"So you also have people you care about, people you cherish, and people you're unwilling to give up."

A red dagger pierced the bright red liquid.

There is also an energy point at the center of this pupil.

An aura that sent shivers down the spine emanating from it.

boom--

Like the soft sound of porcelain shattering, fine cracks covered the entire ritual array.

Countless purple rays of light scattered throughout the space.

The ritual array shattered.

"You! You guys!"

The crimson liquid lifted Ilya's body, and she stared at Heo with a hint of madness. Blood-red lines formed before her, eventually creating a gigantic 'Eye of Truth' suspended in the air. "They all must die!"

"Praise be to you, past, present, future, the end of eternity, the limit of all truth," a chant that seemed to pierce the soul emanated from the woman in the air.

"All beings are born into suffering and weakness, and only death grants eternity."

He staggered to his feet and looked up at Ilya in the air.

In fact, Ilya should have already made preparations for communicating with the Grim Reaper.

However, the more deaths one experiences, the stronger the Grim Reaper's power becomes, and the more blessings one can obtain.

According to her original plan, the entire city would become her altar.
