The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

Yes, around the castle was a field of knee-high weeds that looked like no one had trimmed it for a long time.

If there weren't obvious wheel tracks at the castle's entrance, indicating that someone had been delivering supplies here even recently, Xing Mo would probably have judged this place to be an abandoned castle.

"How strange..." Xing Mo whispered, "I thought... as the architect of the Sky Garden, she should have a good reputation and status."

I didn't expect...this place is actually an abandoned place.

"I can't sense any evil spirits," Aurora said, "but there are many...inanimate creatures."

"you mean...?"

"You'll know once you enter."

Aurora said this, and she grabbed the steam rifle from the air and it landed in her hands.

"Xingmo soldiers! Prepare to break through!"

"puff..."

Xing Mo suppressed her laughter and cooperated by taking out her wand and holding it to her ear:

"Sir, we're ready!"

"Attack attack!"

Aurora said as she kicked open the door to the mansion and raised her musket.

The next second, a dark aura came from the darkness—it was a sharp blade flashing with cold light—

"Om-"

The sharp blade passed between Xingmo and Aurora, stirring up a gust of wind that blew up their hair.

Sure enough! Something's wrong!

Xingmo and Aurora stepped forward, entered the hall, and closed the door behind them.

In the darkness, the sound of gears turning slowly rang out, accompanied by the sound of steam pistons operating.

After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Xingmo saw the huge creature in the darkness!

It was a spider-like mechanical structure, its body covered with gears and pipes with a bronze luster. Steam pistons moved in and out on the back of the structure, and eight mechanical limbs equipped with blades supported the ground, leaving a knife mark on the stone ground with each movement.

Directly in front of the body is a head wrapped in bronze armor, with eight pairs of repeatedly folded optical lenses underneath, with strange light flickering in them.

And at the center of that mechanical creation, Xing Mo felt a familiar power——

"Is that 'Black Heart'...?" Xing Mo said in disbelief.

That’s right, just like the heart in the Steam Man that was tempered by the ‘curse’, the mechanical creature in front of him has a ‘black heart’ inside!

"Click-"

Without giving Xingmo time to be shocked or anything, the gears on the Steam Spider's body turned rapidly, and two long blades spitted out from the mechanical gaps on its back -

"Pengpeng——"

With the sound of steam bursting, the two blades were spit out at an extremely high speed, flying straight towards Xingmo and Aurora.

"call--"

Xingmo and Aurora simultaneously scattered to the sides, avoiding the blade, which pierced straight into the door behind them and pierced through it.

The two men separated in different directions and ran around the hall.

Blades popped out from the Steam Spider's back, and its eight prosthetic limbs moved flexibly. The blade launchers on its back pointed in two different directions, simultaneously firing blade storms at Xingmo and Aurora.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish—”

Xingmo nimbly dodged around the pillars, observing the structure of the steam spider while shouting towards the colonnade opposite:

"Don't tear it apart too completely! I need that 'black heart'!"

She wanted to see if that 'black heart' was really the same as the one inside the 'steam man'.

"learn!"

Aurora ran quickly with a musket in hand. Her speed was much slower than Xingmo's, but she managed to accurately avoid the blade's attack every time.

She quickly found a sturdy supporting pillar, then leaned over the side of the pillar and raised her musket:

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The bullets fired by the steam musket at the highest power were accompanied by the fierce force of the fire string, and the three bullets accurately hit the blade unit behind the steam spider.

With the sound of a steam pipe bursting, the spider lost the blade unit on one side.

"Little Saint, it's on its back," Aurora conveyed the message to Xingmo through the seal, "There's a second set of steam cores. Wait for me to attract its attention!"

"Second set of cores?"

Xingmo frowned slightly, but she didn't think too much about it, just waiting for Aurora's move.

Aurora jumped out of the pillar, aimed at the steam spider's optical lens and fired continuously.

"Clang clang clang!"

The two steel plates on the side of the compound eye suddenly closed together, and three fire string bullets left melt marks on the steel plates, but did not penetrate!

"Wow, high-tech!" Aurora was shocked.

The next second, the steam spider suddenly raised one of its legs, and the sharp blade slashed towards Aurora—

"boom--"

Aurora jumped back, a pale green light carrying her aloft, and lightly dodged the blade.

She gently turned her fingers, and emerald green vines emerged from under the space, instantly wrapping around one of the spider's legs.

Then, flowers with sharp teeth sprouted from the vines and began gnawing at the mechanical legs—

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

As sparks burst out, one of the spider's legs was instantly bitten into steel fragments!

The spider lost its balance briefly, and Xingmo took advantage of this opportunity to jump out from behind the pillar on the other side of the hall and quickly approached the spider.

Before the blade units could turn back from their direction towards Aurora, Xingmo leaped up and jumped onto one of the spider's legs.

She took off in two steps, twirled her wand lightly, and then accurately played the chord of fire in mid-air.

"boom--"

A golden ray of blazing heat penetrated the fragile armor structure behind the spider and hit the steam core!

Xingmo stepped on the spider's back, turned his wand, unsheathed the divine bone sword, and then stabbed it into the armor plate under his feet.

She pried it hard, and the entire back armor was lifted up along with the molten iron. The surging steam rushed in her face, forcing Xingmo to reach out to block it.

The next second, a surge of spiritual pressure hit—

"...!"

Xingmo subconsciously jumped up from the back of the steam spider, and the next second, she felt a gust of scorching wind blowing across her cheek -

——A red-hot iron blade brushed past her ear.

The steam spider bounced up with great momentum and spun in the air like a wheel.

Some black hair scattered, and at that moment, Xing Mo realized that her head would be separated from her body by just a hair's breadth.

"...!"

Xing Mo snapped her fingers, and the syllables triggered the fire string, raising a scorching wind in the air that pushed her body backwards.

Her feet were on the pillars, and her body was perpendicular to the ground.

The next second, another violent burst of fire struck—

"bass--"

Xingmo fell down in time, and the shock wave exploding behind her pushed her towards the ground.

She turned in mid-air and saw the spider's bladed legs sever one of the hall's pillars—the very spot where she had paused briefly.

The spider's body was hovering in the air, moving at an extremely terrifying speed, with flames gushing out of its body, like a demon from hell.

After the Steam Core was destroyed...it got even stronger! ?

Starmo fell to the ground, then immediately ran, dodging the rain of gravel falling from the sky, and ran towards Aurora.

"Aurora!" she yelled.

"We're watching, don't panic."

Aurora raised her musket, aimed at the steam spiders falling from the sky, and fired continuously—

"Boom bang bang-"

Her bullets were accurate, each one hitting the joints on the steam spider's body and destroying the last few blade units on its back.

The steam spider landed on the ground, the blades on its legs piercing the ground, leaving melted marks.

Undeterred by Aurora's destruction of its joints, its seven remaining legs moved swiftly across the floor, charging towards the two.

Xingmo came to Aurora's side, turned around, and faced the rushing monster with her.

"The 'Black Heart' is in the center third of the front half of the torso," Xingmo whispered. "Are you sure?"

"It's a small problem. We have already given it enough face."

Aurora lowered her musket, stretched out her hand, tore a crack in the air, and reached in.

At the same time, Xing Mo turned the Divine Bone Sword in his hand and took a deep breath——

——Then rush straight towards the Steam Spider!

Facing the rushing mountain of steam machinery, Xingmo snapped his fingers repeatedly, striking syllables that made the fire strings resonate, allowing his body to continuously accelerate in the hot feathers of light.

At the moment of contact, the Steam Spider raised its blade legs high, and Xingmo raised his sword fearlessly to meet it -

"clang--------"

The blades collided and there was a stalemate in an instant.

The next second, flames exploded, and the Divine Bone Sword cut off the Blade Leg without any suspense.

Xingmo suddenly leaned down, and the mechanical spider lost its balance and flew over her, heading straight for Aurora.

And in Aurora's eyes, green flames had already ignited—

""life"."

Dozens of irregular cracks appeared behind her, and countless enchanting vines emerged, winding towards the unbalanced spider.

The vines quickly wrapped around the spider's body, and taking advantage of its unbalanced force, flipped it upside down and lifted it into the air!

Aurora lightly raised her toes and flew upwards, towards the spider—

"Bam—"

She pierced through the spider's body directly, and when she reappeared, she was already holding a ball of surging darkness in her hand.

Directly below her, the steam spider's limbs quickly lost strength and drooped like a piece of scrap metal.

"......"

The twisted plant shrank back, and the steam spider's body fell to the ground, its tattered shell shattering into pieces.

Xing Mo sheathed the Divine Bone Sword, tapped the ground with his cane, and turned to look at Aurora who was slowly landing on the ground.

Seeing the dark mass in Aurora's hand, she smiled softly:

"Well done."

Aurora walked up to Xingmo and held up the Black Heart to her.

"Feel it, I feel... the spiritual energy fluctuations are very strange."

Xingmo took the black heart from Aurora's hand and observed it carefully.

The characteristics of this "Black Heart" were basically the same as the one she found in Sir Derek Larson's factory. The twisted darkness was bound by a simple mechanical structure, and the black light spread out, making people feel gloomy.

But something seems to be wrong...

"It's a nightmare!" Xingmo and Aurora began at the same time.

That’s right, within this “black heart”, the power of nightmare is fluctuating!
