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

　That is the rift in time!

Chapter 487: City of Chaos (Part 6) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　Rift in time.

　It looked ordinary, floating above the altar, just hanging there abruptly.

　It doesn't seem to intersect with the real world. A faint golden light flows out along the outline of the crack and floats in the air.

　Xing Mo felt somewhat familiar with that golden light—it was the light of destiny.

　"Looks like we found it."

　Perlis took two steps forward, stretched out her left hand, and the silver bracelet on her slender wrist began to rotate crosswise.

　Crimson lightning swirled within the ring-shaped structure, then suddenly spread out—

　"Zizzizi!"

　The red lightning struck the stone pillars surrounding the altar. In an instant, red marks climbed up the pillars, washing away the silver runes.

　Aurora looked up and clearly felt the thread connecting the sky to the Time Rift breaking.

　Whoever was watching over this altar was now cut off.

　"Wow, that's amazing! Is this how you use the power of the higher realm?" Aurora muttered. "Sister, teach me."

　"Just break the seal directly." Perlis answered calmly.

　Simple and direct, worthy of the Force coming from the bloodline of the Hafirgard people.

　"This rift was created not long ago, and it's obviously more stable than the one in Akashina Town," Perlis said, sensing the spiritual power emanating from the rift. "However, it only allows for one-way travel."

　"One-way?" Xing Mo frowned. "Does that mean that once you go in, there's no way back?"

　"That's right," Perlis nodded slightly. "In fact, the rift in Akashina Town is also single-threaded. My projection was destroyed in the Age of Gods. The current projection is based on a divine corpse."

　One-way shuttle, which means...

　...Once you are in the past, you can’t return to the present.

　"Chief, how about we discuss this further?" Angelica said, a little flustered. "If we just go this one way, wouldn't that be too reckless? If we can't get back, the Citadel's manpower will be slashed even more!"

　"Albus remained silent, but his expression showed obvious hesitation.

　Seeing the two clerks' timidity, Xingmo was naturally a little hesitant.

　One-way means that once you go, you may never come back.

　Moreover, according to Miss Perlis, the existence of this rift seems like a trap - since it appeared not long ago, it is very likely a trap set by the Children of Time to lure Xingmo and his group into the past.

　It's one-way and very likely a trap. Entering this crack is like going to the mountain of tigers even though you know there are tigers there.

　But when I think of Arya being captured, and the uncertain fate of the Citadel...

　Xing Mo straightened his mind and said to the two staff members:

　"Since those children of time possess the power to travel from the past to the present, returning to the present is not impossible. As long as there is a slight possibility, we should try."

　"But Angelica's concerns are correct. The Academy cannot be left unattended, so you need to be the acting section chief again."

　"But Chief, you—"

　"Don't worry, I promise you, I will come back."

　Xing Mo patted Angelica's shoulder with a smile. She knew that she was a role model to this junior, so how could she back down at this time?

　"Don't worry, I'll watch over you," Perlis said, her hands in her pockets. "But before we go back to the past, let's take care of the surroundings."

　"Dealing with the surroundings?"

　Xing Mo turned around and saw Sex Bean walking slowly towards her.

　After the death of General Lux, the battle between the Bean God Society and the Messina garrison gradually became equal, and he finally got a chance to escape.

　The wounded Serks Bean walked slowly towards them, dragging a big sword with a ferocious look on his face.

　"You!" He pointed at Xingmo and yelled, "You traitor!"

　"How am I a traitor?" Xing Mo Wu

　Gu Di spread his hands and said, "I just didn't help you, nor did I help the garrison."

　"You were the one who sent the garrison here! You were the one who informed on us!" Serkis roared. "John is dead! You must pay with your life!"

　"I didn't tell the garrison about it," Xing Mo shook her head. "Don't slander my innocence out of thin air."

　"Don't make excuses! I will drink your blood!"

　Serkes stretched out his hand, and the black tattoo on his arm actually emitted a faint blue glow.

　"Blood of the Altar, give me her soul!"

　He waited triumphantly for Xingmo to be controlled, but Xingmo just looked at him silently.

　Ten seconds passed.

　"?"

　The expression on Serkes's face was a little dull. Seeing this, Xingmo shook his head:

　"That offspring of yours seems to have lied to you."

　"Don't insult the Dark Elf!"

　A fierce light flashed in Serkis' eyes, and his skin gradually cracked - the Saint's extraordinary power was out of control!

　Seeing this, Albus and Angelica stood in front of Xingmo and drew their weapons.

　"Do you think you can stop me with just a few more people?"

　Threx swung his heavy sword, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a bottle.

　"Before leaving, the Dark Elf gave me a holy weapon to fight against you... Hehehe, this is a holy object stolen from the bottom of the White Tower of the Academy. Of course, with your shortsightedness, you may not know what it is."

　Xing Mo took a closer look and saw that the bottle contained a cobra covered with patterns all over its body. It was curled up and hissing out its tongue.

　That thing...why does it seem familiar?

　Wait, that seems to be...

　"That's the Root Eater!" Angelica was the first to recognize the extraordinary holy object in the bottle. "Wait a minute! It will..."

　"Regret it? Are you scared? It's too late!"

　Serkis roared, then crushed the bottle in front of everyone's gaze.

　At the moment the glass shattered, Xingmo recalled the uses and side effects of the Root Eater.

　Almost at the same time, Serkis let out a scream—

　"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

　The cobra bit where it should have, and instantly replaced Serkes' organs. His clothes burst apart inch by inch, and the venomous snake pattern spread along his lower body towards his belly button, and the venom burst out pieces of strong muscles.

　When the pattern covered Serkis's head, a ferocious green light flashed in his pupils, and his skull exploded.

　"His brain was corroded! So quickly? Even faster than the time recorded in the eyewitness account!" Angelica was shocked.

　"The little head of the venomous snake is controlling his big head..." Albus analyzed calmly, "Angelica, hold him back. I'll deal with the little head."

　After saying this, he wiped it on the blade, and the natural spirit actively responded to its call.

　For some reason, this time the nature spirits didn't even want to ask for any reward. They seemed to be just afraid of Xingmo behind Albus, so they worked very hard for Albus.

　"Om-"

　Grayish-white mist emerged from the silver blade. Albus swung the sword and his body disappeared into the gray mist.

　Angelica pointed the umbrella behind her and flicked it, causing the purple gravity to explode.

　"boom--"

　She instantly flew towards Serkis and swung her sword towards the serpent-like pupils.

　"boom----"

　The gravitational light wave collided with Serks's greatsword, instantly blowing them apart. Serks and Angelica retreated five meters at the same time.

　Before Angelica could recover her stance, a gust of wind blew up, and Thrax, dragging a snake's tail, came to her and raised his greatsword.

　So fast!

　Just as the greatsword was about to strike Angelica, a white shadow quietly approached—

　"clang!"

　The sword blade burst into flames, and Perlis swung her butterfly knife upwards, instantly knocking the giant sword that was almost as tall as her away.

　She swung the butterfly knife and threw it towards Serkis's heart.

　"boom----"

　The butterfly knife broke through the sound barrier the moment it was thrown, dragging a red lightning that instantly pierced through Serkes' heart, creating a huge hole.

　But he had no intention of falling down - the power of the Root Eater should not be underestimated!

　At this moment, a gray mist suddenly spread out and quietly appeared behind Serkis, transforming into a silver edge.

　"Boom!"

　Two knife lights flashed, and Serkes's two arms flew out instantly, splashing blood in the air.

　Albus did not rush forward to attack, but took a half step back to observe the situation. Sure enough, snake tails gushed out from the broken arm and hit him -

　"Clap! Clap!"

　Albus quickly dodged the snake tails, formed seals with his hands quickly, and then threw the silver blade in his hand out.

　The snake tails instantly wrapped around the silver blade and squeezed together violently, trying to swallow it.

　Albus suddenly pinched his hand seal, and the gray mist exploded, instantly blowing away all the snake tails.

　Seizing this opportunity, Angelica quickly ran towards Serkis, pulled out the rapier hidden in the black umbrella, and stabbed the Root Eater fiercely.

　Unexpectedly, the Root Eater's head suddenly stretched out, and a row of sharp barbs grew from its cobra-like body, crashing into Angelica's rapier.

　"clang!"

　A crisp crash sent Angelica flying back. At the same time, a purple gravitational force spread along the blade towards the Root Eater, pressing it hard to the ground.

　"Buzz!"

　Seize the opportunity, Albus

　With a flash of his body, he grabbed the silver blade that was thrown on the ground and slashed at the Root Eater's head.

　"Crack!"

　Black blood gushed out, the snake's head was cut off, Serkes' body trembled, and then he fell to the ground and died.

　""

　"Well done."

　With a wave of her hand, Perlis pulled the silver butterfly knife back by the red lightning and put it into her sleeve.

　She turned to look at Xing Mo who had been watching from the sidelines and nodded slightly:

　"These kids are good, leave them to them without worry."

　Xingmo had been watching the fight between Angelica and Albus from behind. The reason she didn't take action was because she felt that the two of them needed more experience than she did.

　"Of course I believe them," Xingmo nodded slightly, "always."

　By this time, the battle in the distance had ended. Because Serkes had left the battlefield, the Messina garrison ultimately won the battle at an extremely tragic cost.

　The remaining dozen or so soldiers who were still able to fight looked at Xing Mo with eager eyes. Just as they were about to attack, a pale blue envelope fell from the sky, outlining the shape of a human.

　It's Angela.

　Dressed in a white dress, she gently adjusted her hat, her eyes sweeping across the battlefield, landing on the tattered body of General Lux.

　"Lukes is dead. From now on, you are under the control of the Messenger."

　A few soldiers, rabid with killing intent, seemed to want to resist. Before they could make any move, Angela raised a hand:

　"Surrender."
