Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

With a chime of a bell.

Time seemed to reverse instantly, and the girl's head flew back along the broken neck as if pulled by invisible threads.

Flesh, bones, and skin reassembled and healed in an instant. The girl coughed suddenly, and her pupils refocused.

And take advantage of this brief moment.

A dark shadow, as if alive, burst forth from the ground, pulling the girl aside.

At the same instant, a massive scythe, solidified from shadow, slashed out from the void and collided violently with the lava sword that followed.

Sparks flew everywhere, each drop carrying enough heat to melt steel, burning craters that emitted blue smoke as they landed on the ground.

The girl looked up and saw a figure that seemed to be made entirely of darkness standing not far away.

The figure's edges were blurred, only the sharp outline of the shadowy scythe in its hand was visible, as if it were about to cleave reality.

"This guy is a Sequence 6 'Demon'. Although I've silenced him, he still has two Level 2 sealed artifacts on him. We have to go."

The girl hadn't finished speaking.

A pale blue cage of flames suddenly rose up, centered on Li Qianyi and the demon.

Six pillars of fire erupted from the ground, converging at the top and sealing the entire battlefield within them.

Then the girl saw countless black substances grow, pile up, and take shape from the ground.

It quickly formed a colossal figure, as tall as the demon and as powerful as death itself.

Beneath the hooded silhouette lies a hollow darkness, like a vortex that corrupts the heart.

A sense of depravity, darkness, and shadow, an aura similar to yet distinct from that of a demon, emanated from the figure, spreading outwards and making the air thick and heavy.

[Shepherd's Scythe: Manipulates shadows to form a scythe with relatively powerful attack capabilities]

You seem to have gained some understanding of "hermits".

Theoretically speaking, Li Qianyi, a Sequence 9, is completely incapable of participating in a Sequence 6 level battle.

However, he possesses the "Key to the Shadow Dimension," which is blessed with the "Blasphemy Cross that emits a faint glow."

Thus, the "Blessing of the Shadows" granted him the combat power of a Sequence 7 "Hermit" ahead of time, and even a higher rank.

But that's just having it ahead of time.

The enormous demon was somewhat surprised by this strange figure that had suddenly appeared.

But he soon discovered that while the opponent's strength was not low, the intensity of the attack was not actually that great.

Li Qianyi quickly found himself on the defensive.

In terms of the diversity of abilities, the accumulation of combat experience, and various physical attributes, he is far behind.

Moreover, the opponent's defense was very high, and his Shadow Scythe couldn't penetrate it at all.

Maintaining balance is already quite difficult.

Li Qianyi has an idea to open the divine kingdom.

However, as soon as he had such an idea, inspiration began to frantically warn him.

It was as if doing so might lead to a very dangerous situation.

"Is this related to the Pure White Saint?" Li Qianyi guessed.

Just then, bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, and the girl, having caught her breath, began casting her spell again.

"Caesar is wearing the 'Guardian's Armor,' a level-two sealed artifact obtained by the 'Pure White Saint' in the special story dungeon 'The Fallen Guardian,' which has extremely strong defensive capabilities on the front." The girl spoke very quickly.

"It can also form a barrier made of light."

"I was right after all. A 'demon' has gotten together with a 'notary'."

Li Qianyi lowered his head slightly and saw that the demon's body, covered in black scales, was wearing a brass-colored armor that was stained with oil.

"A seal made using the extraordinary characteristics of the Warrior Path, Sequence 5 'Guardian'."

Li Qianyi immediately guessed the origin of the item.

"In that case, my Yangyan Talisman might not be effective."

After all, the prerequisite for "Guardian" is "Dawn Knight", which possesses the power to resist holy attributes.

Holy crap, someone's cheating.

But then the demon raised his lava sword and pointed it toward the sky, and a dozen pale blue fireballs appeared around him, emitting a pungent sulfurous smell.

"Sulfur fireball!"

Li Qianyi manipulated the shadows to construct a barrier.

The girl tore open a scroll.

A phantom light screen unfolded in front of the two like ripples on water, blocking the blue fireballs.

"I silenced that demon with a spell scroll, but it will only last for five minutes."

"Otherwise, his 'filthy language' would be even harder to resist."

"Can you give me a few minutes? I need to cast a powerful spell."

Before the girl could finish speaking, Li Qianyi's eyes flickered.

A portal of light opened in the center of the battlefield.

Two figures walked out from inside; they were Tan Bin and Xiao Qing.

Li Qianyi: ?

Wasn't it supposed to be heavy firepower suppression? Why are there only two people?

A Sequence 7 'Magician' and a Sequence 9 'Hunter'.

"Could it be...?"

Li Qianyi's gaze sharpened as he saw Tan Bin raise his hand, which was wearing a flesh-colored glove.

"Mental piercing."

Tan Bin didn't waste any words and simply raised his hand.

The invisible spiritual force, like a red-hot steel needle, precisely pierced the demon's skull.

The demon, who had been locked in a stalemate with Li Qianyi, suddenly revealed a pained expression.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Li Qianyi took out the 'Sunfire Talisman' from his backpack and uttered a low shout, "Light!"

But then a clear and pure beam of light descended vertically from the depths of the sky.

Without giving the demon any time to breathe, Tan Bin shouted again, "Light."

Immediately afterwards, a slightly smaller beam of light descended from the sky.

As soon as Li Qianyi finished casting the "Yangyan Talisman", he immediately retreated to create distance.

The magic of the solar pathway is not only effective against demons, but also against him.

Even if the attack was initiated by oneself or a companion.

Having enjoyed the benefits of "Shadow Protection," one must also bear its negative effects.

Just then, a nauseating odor suddenly wafted out, accompanied by thick darkness and a hoarse, awkward voice.

"Why do you think I deliberately waited for you here?"

A black circle gradually forms around the demon, gradually creating a world where human consciousness and desires sink into depravity.

"Old World Ruins - The Broken Abyss of the Soul".

No, you don't know.

Tan Bin shook his head and said, "Do you think I didn't suspect you might have remnants of a divine kingdom?"

He seemed to have anticipated this scene, and whispered, "Xiao Qing."

"receive."

But then Xiao Qing stepped forward and took out a slightly worn, copper-green notebook from his backpack.

[Lemanor's Travel Notes (Orange Hero): 'Lemanor's Travel Notes' cannot be sold, only rented, 2000 Divine Faith per day]

[Divine Abilities: Tornado (Unusable), Domain of No Darkness (Unusable), Spear of No Darkness (Unusable)]

[Standard Ability: Traveler's Gate, Traveler's Gate...]

"Because divinity has not descended into reality, skills possessing divinity cannot be used in reality."

Tan Bin's voice rang out, speaking very quickly, "But there's one exception."

"That is the 'Remains of the Divine Kingdom,' also known as the 'Old World Tomb.'"

Magicians do not perform unprepared acts.

As everyone was drawn into that dark, decadent world that seemed to fuel their desires.

In "Lemanor's Notebook," the sealed divine skills gradually turned from gray to orange.

Xiao Qing turned to one of the pages in his notebook.

"The Realm Without Darkness".
