A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

But... although his movements were fast, they were not as fast as those of the knights.

There is a difference between the genuine elite of the Knights Templar, who have truly experienced hundreds of battles and have developed extraordinary abilities from the brink of life and death, and those of the Gvaran family who have been promoted by abusing potions.

There may be no difference in the supernatural powers themselves, but there are differences in the users.

Robin's hand - or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a claw at this moment - stretched out, but was struck by a knight's sword from the side, cutting it off directly.

Chapter 281 Deer Head Spirit 2

Robin cried out in pain and stepped back, creating some distance.

Although his right arm was disabled, his face showed no fear, and he still wore a mad, bloodthirsty expression. Appetite had surpassed his other desires, becoming his instinct, his highest goal, and his only goal.

Only a very thin amount of blood flowed out from the broken arm.

"Wait," Thomas realized something. "Robin?"

The other person's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty madness, but also with rational clarity.

Or rather, even though he had become a monster, his will twisted... he still seemed sane. It was a kind of crazy sanity, but it was all the more dangerous because of it.

"Ah, One-Eyed, you recognized me." Robin smiled and tried to attack again.

But after he dropped his sword and turned to using his claws, his threat became very limited. It was an instinctive attack, but easy to see through, and far less difficult to deal with than a real warrior.

His attack, let alone injuring Thomas, couldn't even break through the two knights standing in front of him. Not to mention that he had lost an arm in their first fight.

In fact, if he was still that elite warrior, although he was at a disadvantage of one to two, he would not be injured in a single blow.

All I can say is that although turning into a monster made it more terrifying and hideous, it did not make it stronger, but instead made it obviously weaker.

Robin's second attack was unsurprisingly repelled again, and he was hit twice.

"Catch him alive, I have something to ask him." Thomas said.

After a few minutes, the battle was over.

Robin lay face up on the ground - his hands and feet were cut off. Although the mutation gave him extra vitality, allowing him to survive even with his limbs amputated, he could no longer commit crimes.

He himself knew that all struggles were meaningless, so he just gave up and stopped struggling.

"What did you do?" Thomas stepped forward and asked.

"I was inspired by God," Robin said. "Everyone was dead, and I was the only one left. I was cold and weak, and I was drowsy, so I ate the fruit given by God."

"fruit?"

"I found it here at the altar, a golden pine cone," Robin said. "Then, in a drowsy, half-asleep state, I met the Great God. He gave me a revelation. Before, seeing those fallen corpses, I felt only fear and disgust. But after this, I felt an unprecedented urge. I obeyed my instinct and took a cautious bite... The half-coagulated blood warmed me like mellow liquor, and I devoured it with relish. Those lives that had died prematurely seemed to coursing through my veins, filling me with warmth and energy."

"You definitely don't understand that feeling! But my life has taken on a whole new meaning from now on. The flesh and blood of others are tempering my body, and I will become incredibly strong and healthy. Injuries, hunger, and cold will no longer have any effect on me. And I know that I have embarked on a path to a higher level of life!"

Robin talked about his feelings without hesitation, but the faces of the knights who were listening to him became increasingly ugly.

The knights wore open-face helmets, so anyone could see the anger in their hearts from their furrowed brows and gloomy expressions.

Some quietly gripped the handles of their weapons, while others grasped the cross.

If Thomas had not given the order, they would have cut the blasphemous monster into pieces and ground it to dust.

"You seem to strongly disagree. Haha... Actually, neither do I. After finishing my first feast, I wanted to call it a day, seal this sinful secret deep in my memory, leave this place forever, and return home... But I couldn't do it! The aftertaste still lingered in my mouth, more intoxicating than any other delicacy I'd ever tasted! I tried to restrain myself, but it was too difficult. Finally, when I reached the edge of the forest, I couldn't help but turn back and return here. Here, my life has meaning!"

Hemp egg!

Not only is the body distorted, but the mind is also completely distorted.

And it is obvious that it is extremely difficult to correct this distortion - after all, it is easy to destroy but difficult to build.

Thomas secretly thanked himself for not using that natural crystal.

Although I didn't trust the King of the Forest very much at the beginning.

But after seeing Robin, he was 90% sure that there was something fishy about the natural crystal!

If he had used the natural crystal, his fate would probably be no different from Robin, who had turned into a ghost in front of him.

I didn't encounter any evil tree people along the way.

Thomas almost thought that the King of the Forest was negligent or unable to distract himself.

Now it seems not, but a test for Robin.

Although the test failed...it didn't matter to the King of the Forest.

It's nothing more than losing an insignificant chess piece. Just knowing the results of the experiment is enough.

"Clean up this blasphemous monster!" said Thomas.

"With great pleasure!" More than one knight answered in unison. They could no longer contain their excitement.

Robin was not afraid at all. Even when he raised his sword and cut it into pieces in an instant, he still had a wild laugh on his face.

But even though there were some tricks with the natural crystals, the bargaining chips Thomas offered, namely the golden apples and the ashes of the gods, were actually good things, without any manipulation.

"Sir, what should we do next?" asked a knight after getting rid of the monster.

"Meet up with your teammates in the back," Thomas said decisively. "Go forward this way, you'll definitely encounter the evil tree people!"

Several knights looked at each other, and although they did not question it, their suspicion was obvious.

Thomas was appointed commander this time because of the Grand Master's order. But even the Grand Master's order was not enough to dispel everyone's doubts.

This is a catastrophic remnant of the past, and the risks involved are well known to everyone.

They were divided into two teams along the way. One team was led by Thomas, with five people and lightly equipped.

Eight men followed behind, carrying cannons, while the rest stayed in the boat.

Only the elite Knights, those with extraordinary abilities, could advance with just eight men carrying a cannon. But even with eight elite men, the cannon was too heavy and bulky to move quickly.

"Don't go too fast. Advance slowly, but not so slowly as to arouse suspicion. Just accompany the cannon normally!" Thomas said. With the test complete, the true guards, the evil tree people, would definitely be put into action.

Maybe it wasn't just the Evil Tree Man. The previous enemy wasn't strong enough, but the stronger guards appeared, and the Evil Tree Man was enough.

"Sir, but... you are not joining us?"

"No, thanks. I'll go alone," Thomas said.

The Forest King had previously sent the Evil Tree Man to test his strength. Although he denied it verbally, they had indeed fought.

Although it wasn't a life-and-death battle, it could just be considered a quick-hit-and-run, but it still barely counts.

So, the "Protection from Evil" is effective. The King of the Forest is unaware of himself.

It sent the deformed Robin here, unaware of his presence. Otherwise, this test would be meaningless. The King of the Forest knew he could easily defeat Robin.

Only after making sure that the other party cannot sense you can you truly launch a surprise attack!

"Ayi!" Thomas quickly left the others and headed to the other side, calling Ayi as he jogged.

Hajime stuck half of his body out from his sleeves.

"Go that way!" said Thomas.

Hajime bounced upwards, wrapped around the top of the tree, and pulled Thomas straight up.

It takes an hour to walk from here, and at least three hours due to the artillery, but with the help of Ayi's ability to shuttle through the forest, it only takes a few minutes!

Chapter 282 Deer Head Spirit 3

Thomas was now standing on the tallest tree nearby, observing the surrounding situation from a high vantage point.

Ahead is the cave where the king of the forest lived a few days ago.

There are several points throughout the area with particularly intense red light, which can only be perceived through magical vision.

The eyepatch I got from the one-eyed wolf really played the most crucial role this time.

If it weren't for it, Thomas would have had a hard time finding his target.

The forest had a complex terrain, and even the most experienced hunters could get lost in it. Not to mention that Thomas was not a hunter and was not familiar with the forest.

We are almost there, time to make final preparations.

If it's the Deer-Shou Spirit...

According to local legend, this monster has the ability to control plants and animals, but its own combat power is also not weak.

Although the remnants of the old times need to absorb the intelligence of this world and take shape in this world, they do not completely comply and can change to a certain extent.

We must estimate the enemy's weakness.

Thomas slowly practiced the spell, adding blessings to himself one after another.

Add everything that can be added.

Anyway, I don’t have anything else now, but I do have a lot of divine power.

At the same time, he pondered the whole matter. Why did the Deer-Headed Demon and the Prince fall out?

Prince Yaroslav issued a bounty overseas, and his goal should not be to eliminate the Deer-Headed Demon.

Because if they really had murderous intentions, they wouldn't have issued a vague bounty like "finding the truth," but would have stated it directly. That way, they could recruit true heroes, not cannon fodder.

By constantly sending cannon fodder to harass the Deer-Headed Demon, they increase its sense of danger and gain leverage for their own bargaining...

But why did they fall out?

Moreover, the prince came here personally with his confidants... This action itself shows that he is not vigilant against the other party turning against him.

A bottle of medicine can be exchanged for 10,000 florins, but an ordinary farmer can only save 10 florins in his lifetime!

The prince wanted to lower the price, but he didn't want to ruin the business. He wanted to keep going.

And this kind of business... although the bargaining is quite annoying, why does the Deer-Headed Demon want to completely overturn it?

And he did it very decisively, without showing any mercy, and killed the prince directly! He cut off all his escape routes.

There are only two possibilities.

The prince violated the Deer-Headed Demon's taboo, which made the Deer-Headed Demon so angry that he did whatever it took!

Or there may be other benefits, such great benefits that the Deer-Shou Demon no longer cares about the benefits brought by an old customer.

In addition, the woman called Princess Changdao was not there either.

Logically, she should be there.

But the woman's body was not hanging in the woods.

Thomas already had a guess in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, the magic blessing was completed.

Thomas took the folded red flag from his backpack, unfolded it, and hung it at the top of the tree.

A touch of red amidst the green should be very conspicuous.

Thomas looked up at the sky and could see a series of figures flying towards him in the distance.

There were five knights who used the art of flying, led by the Grand Master.

They must have noticed the red flag here and came over here.

In the distance, a clear sound of artillery was heard.

This means that the Knights on the ground have already fought against the evil tree people.

Although the evil tree people are powerful, Thomas feels that with sufficient preparation, even if they cannot win, they can at least hold on for a long time.

It will not be wiped out in a short time.

Thomas divided the entire knight order into three teams.

The ones on the ground are bait, the ones in the air are the main force, and he himself is the real killer move.

The Grand Commander flew over, and both sides were able to communicate with each other through hand gestures.

He kept silent because he was worried the Deer-Headed Demon might hear him. The sky wasn't his domain, but if his voice reached the forest, it would be hard to say for sure.

Thomas showed them the destination.

After making all the preparations, Thomas took a deep breath.

"Ayi!" he said.
