A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

As expected, the power was so great that the magic sword was directly shaken crooked.

However, the blood-red mucous membrane covering the monster's body was not as tough as expected. In fact, the long sword directly left a not-so-slight wound on the monster.

After a successful move, Thomas immediately used his mental power to interfere with the opponent's consciousness.

This was a form of mental field manipulation, Thomas could sense his opponent's fear and impatience. Every missed attack intensified this fear and anxiety, reminding him of the absolute, unreachable gap between them.

Every time a monster's attack missed, its impatience grew, making it attack more and more furious, while its attack trajectory became easier to observe and avoid.

At the same time, it also gave Thomas the opportunity to counterattack.

After a few rounds, Thomas felt more and more strange.

This monster looks powerful, but its fighting ability is really not that strong.

Of course, its power was undeniable. It was no less powerful than an excavator, easily enough to shatter weapons and crush human bodies. A direct hit from it would render armor and shields as fragile as paper. Even the most battle-hardened warrior could be instantly killed with a single blow.

However, a true elite warrior should be able to avoid this direct attack that requires no technical skills as long as he makes the right judgment.

Its blood-red, mucous membrane-like skin is also relatively fragile, not much stronger than a human's, and swords can easily injure it.

The recovery ability is quite strong, and not much blood flows out of each wound... but it is not extremely strong either.

In terms of strength, it definitely has not reached the level of protecting the country.

Even the elite level is a question.

Of course, this could also be Thomas's own fault. Or perhaps it could be said that Thomas discovered that his Steel Soul Secret Technique was very effective against the opponent.

Through the observation ability of the mental field, one can easily predict the opponent's attack movements and trajectories, thereby easily avoiding the attack or even taking advantage of the situation to counterattack.

A few attacks left several scars on the opponent's body, but the opponent seemed unaware.

There was no sign of pain, no sign of slowing down. On the contrary, the attack became more violent.

The monster was in a state of rage, completely suppressed, with no way to escape. Facing such a slippery enemy, it was truly frustrated and unable to exert any of its strength.

But this fury only made its movements more distorted and easier to predict, thus putting it at a greater disadvantage.

If I had to say it had any advantages, it would probably be that ordinary attacks were ineffective against it. Therefore, its random attacks could only rely on the luck of a blind cat catching a dead mouse, relying on a fluke to hit the opponent.

Once hit, Thomas can be killed instantly.

Thomas also realized that ordinary attacks were ineffective, so he began to attack in a targeted manner.

The Steel Soul Secret Art includes a series of derived mental power utilization techniques, including techniques for dealing with enemies with particularly thick health bars.

In the next round, Thomas aimed at the monster's head.

While the long sword pierces the opponent's head, it also guides part of the air in the chest into the opponent's body.

Directly affect the other party's perception ability.

For practitioners of the Steel Soul Mystic Art, attacking the opponent's senses is as important as damaging their body. Through this tactic, the opponent can be left dazed and vulnerable.

This was also the first time Thomas used this technique in actual combat, but after using it, he found that the effect was very obvious.

The monster's five senses were affected, and its roars became louder and louder, but the frequency of its attacks became lower and lower.

As it was hit on the head again and again, it was no longer fighting or attacking, but dancing around randomly.

Suddenly, it let out a low roar, and its blood-red body began to swell violently, like a balloon being inflated.

As his bones and muscles expanded, his body grew larger, and waves of powerful aura swept out. This burst of power repelled the surrounding air and matter.

Thomas was also forced back by the impact.

What a powerful move!

The opponent could have taken this opportunity to attack, because Thomas lost the ability to dodge when he was blown backward.

But it was too late. Its perception was severely disrupted, and it could no longer accurately determine Thomas's position. As a result, after the ultimate move, it could only look around blankly, wasting this great opportunity.

The power is indeed very strong, but... it seems that he does not have the talent to use this power.

Thomas paused and drew a conclusion about the monster.

Moreover, this kind of rough use... should have sequelae.

Chapter 103 Evil Thoughts 3

Thomas rushed forward again, stuck to the opponent, and attacked with his sword.

The monster roared furiously as the longsword struck again and again, but it couldn't even block the attack with its arms, let alone fight back.

Under the interference of the Steel Soul's secret technique, it has become blind and deaf.

With a low roar, the power of the announcement expanded outward for the second time. Like a powerful force field, the gravel and sand underfoot all floated up and scattered in all directions.

But this time Thomas was prepared and retreated in time, so he was only slightly affected but not seriously hurt.

He didn't even need to take the time to recover. After stabilizing himself, he immediately swung his sword and pounced again.

One sword after another landed accurately on the monster's head.

If I must say something, it proves that the monster's skull is still very thick, and a light blow cannot penetrate the skull and will not have a fatal effect.

Also, that weird eye is stronger than it looks.

The sword stabbed into the eye, and it felt like it had pierced a tough, smooth, and force-free membrane, and then slid away.

"Tsk!" The attack missed, Thomas took a few steps back and began to look for the enemy's fatal weakness.

This eye is not a weakness

Under the influence of mental power, the monster almost became a target and could not pose any threat to Thomas at all.

Wait, something seems wrong.

Thomas noticed that after being hit just now, the blood-red, gem-like eyes had dimmed significantly.

It was clearly slid away and no actual damage was done, but it seemed to be effective.

Is this the fatal point?

Or...some other reason?

Before, the monster was struggling blindly, waving its claws, but now it no longer struggles.

Standing there, motionless, he became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Thomas was considering whether to hit the evil eye again, but he noticed a crack appearing on the monster's body.

Like glass or crystal breaking, the cracks expanded rapidly, spreading throughout its body in the blink of an eye. The monster didn't even utter a scream as its corpse-like body completely disintegrated.

The body completely collapsed, turning into countless pieces of flesh. Even the internal organs were tumbling and scattered.

Thomas stepped back in shock.

It turned out to be such a thing!

Now Thomas understood where the monster debris he had seen earlier came from. He had originally thought it had been violently ripped apart, but now it seemed that it must have disintegrated like this.

"Dead?" Thomas was a little confused.

Although this monster wasn't particularly strong, it seemed... a little unreal that it died like that.

He clearly still has the strength to fight, at least his health bar is still thick.

Moreover, the evil feeling of oppression just now also disappeared, as if it had been drawn away.

He was confused and was observing, but he saw a blood-red eyeball fall to the ground and roll all the way to his feet.

This eyeball is as bright and shining as a gem.

Thomas glanced at his eyeballs, and at that moment, he felt an impact that could not be described in words.

It was a kind of spiritual will power, mixed with brutality, bloodiness, and cold consciousness, rushing towards Thomas.

If Thomas's mental strength had not reached the limit of human beings under the tempering of the Steel Soul Secret Art, he would have been hit.

Even if he wasn't overwhelmed by the opponent, the enormous force contained in it still made Thomas dizzy.

"Obey me... obey me... only by obeying me can you survive!"

It was like there was a voice roaring wildly in his ears.

"Obey...obey your sister!" Thomas roared.

He tried hard to recover from the dizziness, and then he found that he had bent down without knowing when, and was reaching out to pick up the blood-red eyeball.

Fortunately, I woke up in time and stopped the action immediately.

But at this moment, his eyes were facing the blood-red eyeball.

The opponent's next wave of attack is coming.

A violent and cruel thought swept over him, invading his mind once again, engaging in a mental battle with his will.

Thomas felt the overwhelming power.

A spiritual force that is superior to humans and cannot be resisted by humans.

Even though the Steel Soul Secret Art had made Thomas's mental strength terrifyingly strong, he could only cling to a small part of his will and was unable to expel this external evil thought.

The evil thought suddenly intensified further.

When Thomas came to his senses, he found himself suspended in an endless void.

There is no up or down, no left or right, no light or darkness. Only endless emptiness.

It is quite similar to the state of trance in meditation.

The problem was that the meditation state could be exited at any time, with just a thought. But in this state, it was obviously impossible to exit.

Fortunately, my thinking ability is still maintained. My mind seems to be very clear, even clearer than usual.

Did I get caught? Thomas asked himself.

Now he began to understand what was going on.

It turned out that the "monster" he was going to deal with this time was not the giant blood corpse-like thing, but the eyeball!

In other words, the blood corpse was just an unlucky guy who was parasitized, and the eyeballs were the real body.

No wonder the old priest didn't send a whole team, but only sent one person at a time.

Because having more people is meaningless. Human mental strength cannot resist that kind of power.

Anyone who kills the blood corpse will be possessed by the eyeball.

Moreover, the blood corpses themselves have good combat capabilities. If there are too many people, there will be no point except for more sacrifices.

After being parasitized, the evil eye will probably remain silent for a while in order to better control the body.

Once the Evil Eye has completely taken control of the new body, a new person will come and repeat everything that happened before.

Thomas even figured out what had happened before.

Thomas himself possessed the Steel Soul Secret Technique, allowing him to attempt to defend and dodge counterattacks. Without this additional bonus, others would likely attack the eyeball immediately.

After all, that thing is too conspicuous and can easily be seen as a weakness and targeted by attacks.

Also, what's with that eye?

Rather than saying that it was a power bestowed by Perun that was beyond human endurance, it would be better to say that it was simply an evil thought of Perun (or Veles), an evil clone that came to the world.

Only in this way can we describe the evil eye more accurately.

And…what's going on with me? Thomas asked, sensing the emptiness around him.

Could it be that Perun's evil thoughts had driven him to the deepest part of his consciousness?

So, what happened to my body? Was it also being controlled by the other party?

Thomas was thinking about it when the void suddenly began to vibrate.

Something is coming.

Could it be that... the other party is chasing us all the way?

The endless void is shaking continuously.
