Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

The aftershocks of every collision within the church were enough to destroy a city, and the arc-shaped shield beneath the Bible was undoubtedly the final refuge.

The Bible turned the pages silently, and each time the two figures at the top touched, the pages would freeze, much like Victor's thoughts at that moment.

He stared at the uncorroded ground beneath his feet, his brow furrowed.

The identity of "Child of Thorns," which is considered commoner in the equipment slot, seems to bring more than just magical affinity.

Like the identity of the "Silver Moon Believers" given by the Bible.

The equipment effects do not specify what power one gains after becoming a believer.

Even something as rudimentary as "using the Bible to defend against the priest's attacks" was something I came up with on the spot.

Lucia seems to have a very high opinion of the "Child of Thorns," even using the word "only."

"So my ability is..."

As he was lost in thought, Viktor caught a glimpse of a golden streak of light slanting down from the corner of his eye on his right.

Dust and smoke rose up with a loud bang, causing the ground beneath our feet to tremble slightly.

As expected, the church floor, which was as thin as paper, cracked open with countless deep fissures under the tremors.

"Splash..."

As the surrounding ground collapsed instantly, Victor began to fall rapidly.

Fortunately, the Bible continued to exert its power steadily, releasing a gentle magic that supported him and returned him to a relatively intact corner of the church.

During this time, Viktor got a clear view of what was happening in the dust.

The nun squatted on the ground, her movements slow as she rose. Her once neat clothes were now tattered and worn, with steam rising slowly from the holes.

That's due to the rapid healing of the wound.

"call out!"

Before Lucia could recover from her injuries, countless dark formations materialized out of thin air within the smoke, unleashing wave after wave of intense, all-encompassing black light.

If Victor hadn't seen the faintly shimmering holy magic circle within, he would have thought Lucia was already dead.

"The person who woke me up is too weak; I can't hold on for long."

Viktor had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the gentle voice in his mind, and he almost lost his composure.

It seems that Lucia is not dead, but she is close to it.

"call......"

Looking at the crumbling ground, he took a deep breath and suppressed the agitation in his heart.

At the same time, he finally retrieved the first piece of equipment he had ever acquired in his life.

[Eroded skull fragment (green)]

To outsiders, this piece of equipment is nothing special, just a piece of junk the size of half a palm.

But in Victor's eyes, this bone fragment, besides emitting a faint glow, was also releasing a withered, yellow magic.

That's... corruption!

Within the perception field of [Magic Affinity], a blurry line, whose destination is unknown, is becoming increasingly clear.

Seemingly affected by this force, the shield formed by the Bible began to flicker, before returning to normal two seconds later.

"..."

Viktor breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was far from at peace.

Even before he left that corrupt land, he had sensed a force calling him... home.

At that time, he only felt uneasy, as if he was being watched by some being at any moment, and even after returning to Northwind Ridge, that calling still existed.

It's just that it's become fainter than before; as long as the bone fragments aren't placed over, the sensation is very blurry.

He thought this thing wouldn't be taken out for a long time.

"I used to want to get rid of you so badly, but now it seems like only you can make me feel at ease."

Viktor, holding the bone fragment, felt a summons far stronger than before, and a strange sense of peace settled in his heart.

It felt like I had really gone home.

A slight smile crept onto his lips as he slowly raised his eyes.

"Lucia, is this all you've got?"

In the void, the priest spoke arrogantly, constantly using [Spatial Leap] to chase after the nun ahead.

Although Lucia's figure moved and shifted like a shooting star, with the golden and silver arrays under her feet constantly changing, her speed was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.

But the priest seemed to be faster, always casting spells half a second before Lucia.

After dodging dozens of dense annihilation magic bullets, Lucia was finally approached by the priest during a gap in her teleportation technique.

The priest raised his arms high, his fingers clasped tightly like a giant hammer, his whole body surging with energy.

A powerful dunk!

boom!

With a loud bang, Lucia was struck on the head and fell straight down from the sky, smashing through the floor and embedding herself deep into the ground.

The priest, still hammering, grinned maliciously, "Too weak! Lucia! You only deserve to look up at me from underground!"

As a fallen being who received the blessing of the abyss, his physical and magical attributes both surpassed human limits, making his battle with Lucia a foregone conclusion.

Just like now, he simply unleashed his blood energy and directly rendered Lucia unable to get up again.

"Cough cough..."

Hearing the weak coughs coming from below, he grew increasingly excited, his gaze sweeping across the church before finally settling on Victor:

"I almost forgot, there's still one worm clinging to life."

He emphasized the word "insects" heavily, and a murderous intent surged in his eyes, his white hair once again rising like crimson flames.

Immediately afterwards, he leaned forward slightly, used his feet to propel himself forward, and in the next second he shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for Victor.

Victor didn't hide; he stood quietly beneath the Bible, as if he knew he couldn't escape and was resigned to his fate.

"very good!"

Seeing this, the priest surprisingly slowed down: "An insect should act like an insect."

He really enjoys the cat-and-mouse game the most.

"Father!"

However, when he was halfway there, the nun's shout came from underground, and a six-pointed star appeared out of thin air in front of the priest.

However, the priest only slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

With the sound of shattering glass, the golden array broke into countless pieces, and the priest's speed increased dramatically once again.

"Go to hell!"

The priest sprinted at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of Victor in the blink of an eye.

Lucia had just crawled out, blood still trickling from the corner of her mouth, and her pupils constricted sharply upon seeing the scene before her.

She had no idea things would turn out this way.

"Stop him."

But at that moment, Viktor suddenly spoke.

As he finished speaking, a rapid and continuous whistling sound suddenly filled the church.

"Swish, swish, swish...!"

Countless vines came from all directions, instantly weaving into a large net.

No! To be precise, it was struck at the priest simultaneously from all angles.

"Slap slap...!"

The rattan whip lashed at the priest like a sudden storm, the sound of the whipping echoing endlessly.

The priest seemed frozen in place, his offensive stance distorted, caught in a dilemma by the exquisite force of each vine. If one had to put it another way…

It's the billiard ball that's sandwiched in the middle!

This torture lasted for more than ten seconds before the whipping stopped.

However, just when Lucia thought the priest would be let off the hook, the vines revealed their true nature!
