A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Another sword strike came down, and the spear broke with a sound.

Thomas drew his sword and the two men clashed with their swords.

The next moment, the leader froze in his tracks! The electric current had completely robbed him of his strength.

"What the hell!?" The madness in his eyes was paused by the strong electric shock.

According to normal effects, his entire nerves would be numb due to the electric shock, and he would be unable to move for a while.

But there was another power protecting him and saving him from this fate.

"Kill!" Suddenly, the leader burst out with strength all over his body.

The two swords in his hands intertwined into a sword net, and both swords attacked together, covering all the opponent's dodging space.

This move is no longer an ordinary sword technique, but should be understood as a combination of extraordinary strength and swordsmanship.

The two swords turned into afterimages frantically, constantly passing through the air at super high speed, and the afterimages of the repeated swings intertwined to form a sword net.

Even Thomas was slightly moved.

Because even he couldn't defend against this move, it was too fast and too powerful.

And this is the power that a mere pirate leader can unleash - although it seems that these pirates have some background and are not unknown.

I have to say that the world is so big and there are so many masters that you will always encounter some unimaginable masters.

Thomas used his long sword to block the opponent's attacks, blocking seven out of ten moves on average.

The other three moves landed squarely on him.

This move was not only fast but also powerful. The long sword broke through Thomas' armor.

"Grand Commander!" Andrea exclaimed from behind.

From his perspective, it was like a web of knives continuously falling on Thomas, hitting him so hard that he couldn't resist.

"Hahaha... go to hell!" The pirate leader finally stopped his move and swung out his last sword.

But in an instant, Thomas retreated, avoiding the final blow.

Fragments of armor kept falling from his body.

That is the effect of a double sword slash.

"What a powerful killing move!" Thomas couldn't help but exclaim. "I guess no one else can block it."

If someone else comes, even if he is protecting the country, he will be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses.

Unfortunately, Thomas was not only wearing armor, he also had the "Stone Skin Technique" and had activated his defensive bracelet.

The sword can cut through armor, but the remaining power is no longer able to cause damage.

Thomas looked at his armor with regret.

Not only was the armor torn, but the clothes underneath were also cut into many holes.

Beneath the hole, the skin appeared pale and rough due to the magic.

"How is it possible..." The leader was shocked. He looked around and found that most of his men had fallen.

If they had gathered at the entrance to the long hall to guard it, this would never have happened.

Due to the terrain restrictions, the Knights could not take advantage of their numbers and could only fight a protracted battle and slowly consume their strength.

But this wave of pirates were so crazy that they rushed out directly.

Although they seemed to be full of momentum, they were actually scattered and were at a disadvantage in the melee with the overwhelming number of knights.

After being blessed with that strange power, they can indeed compete with the knights of the Knights Templar in one-on-one battles without being at a disadvantage.

But the battle wasn't a duel, there wasn't any one-on-one fighting. It was basically just a group of knights beating up one person.

Now there are only six or seven people still resisting desperately, but the situation is hopeless.

The leader wanted to retreat, but it was difficult to leave.

There were knights everywhere.

Just now, it was Thomas who took the initiative to step forward, and everyone didn't dare to disturb the captain's interest, so they just agreed to a one-on-one duel.

"Now it's my turn!" Thomas shouted, and his body flashed and turned into a shadow.

Without the burden of armor, he was faster than normal.

A sapphire-colored light suddenly appeared on the long sword in his hand.

Seeing the light, the leader's attention was involuntarily drawn to it.

Although it was a brief moment, it had disastrous consequences. He had no time to dodge and could only block.

The long sword chopped down, and the two swords crossed to block, but the two swords seemed to have cut through the shadow, and were slightly delayed for a moment.

One sword breaks the brain.

Thomas sheathed his sword. This man didn't have the power of the Wolf God; this strike was a fatal blow.

When he looked back, the remaining bandits had all been knocked down.

There were injuries on the Knights' side, but none were fatal.

You can continue the treatment slowly after you go back.

The loss of a suit of armor... means I have to go in and see if there is any treasure in the long hall that can make up for the loss.

Everyone rushed in and soon found a basement entrance in the long hall.

When we went in, we saw that there was indeed a lot of valuables hidden inside.

There were all kinds of goods, including valuable textiles, gold and silver jewelry, spices, etc. It was obvious that they had robbed more than one or two merchant ships.

Andrea began organizing the personnel to deal with the aftermath. Some would search for bodies, stripping them of armor and taking them away, while others would guard and carry away valuables. Others would search the area, especially the boats in the small lake. Furthermore, they would recruit the villagers to help bury and dispose of the bodies.

There was no need for Grand Master Thomas to worry about these matters. The Knights were very experienced in handling these matters.

Thomas' attention was drawn to something in the long hall.

In the long hall, between two windows, there is a shrine.

Inside the shrine was a statue that Thomas had never seen before.

This is a statue made of silver but plated with gold.

Thomas didn't recognize him, so he called Radagast over. "Who is this?"

Radagast looked at it for a long time. "This could be Satre, the god of the celestial realm. I can't be 100% sure. Many gods have different appearances in different places."

"Never heard of it." Thomas thought for a long time.

But in any case, this is gold-plated silver, a precious trophy that will not be ignored.

"If you allow, why not put it in your cabin first? We can study it carefully." Radagast suggested.

"Okay," Thomas replied.

This halo effect just now seems to be related to this statue?

Section 220 No Choice

Dusk.

At the dock of the seaside castle, waves repeatedly crashed against the several boats anchored in the harbor, like a grumpy child playing with a toy they didn't like. The distant skyline was blurry, with gray clouds hanging low.

Muzaffar walked down the aisle with a heavy heart.

At the end of the corridor is the Grand Master's room.

In just a few days, the Grand Master looked noticeably haggard.

Although he was already very old, he only now gave people a feeling of "his old age was revealed".

Playing with his amber-mouthed pipe in his hand, the Grand Master looked up and saw Muzaffar coming over.

This time, Muzaffar took the risk and went to Rhodes Island in person to investigate the cause of the Wolf God's death.

The Wolf God has been dead for some time.

His head was hung on the top of the city wall for public display. It is said that the huge, ferocious and terrifying wolf head amazed everyone who entered and exited the city gate.

But on the other hand, since the person is already dead, we don’t care that much about his affairs.

The atmosphere on Rhodes Island has completely returned to its original state.

"Muzaffar, you're back."

"Grandmaster," Muzaffar bowed. "I'm back."

"how is the situation?"

"I first saw Lord Wolf God's... body, then infiltrated the demolition site near the Knights' headquarters and worked odd jobs for two days. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I spent a considerable sum to bribe a low-ranking Knights' jailer, gaining access to the prison. I met two of the Wolf God's attendants and learned about what happened that day. Finally, through the tavern, I found some lower-ranking Knights' soldiers and obtained additional information from them. With this, I think I've basically reconstructed what happened that day."

"Tell me what's going on."

"Lord Wolf's advance notice was a mistake!" Muzaffar sighed. "Captain Thomas is truly a formidable figure."

"How specific?"

"After receiving the letter that day, Thomas had almost a month to prepare. And his preparations were far more extensive and sufficient than anyone could have imagined. That man had a very flexible, sharp, and intelligent mind."

"I admit it!" The Grand Master sighed.

The last expedition to Ceuta has already proved this.

No normal person would think of fighting all the way from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Western Mediterranean.

But Thomas did it, and he succeeded.

"First, Thomas set up the first trap. He set up barricades in the streets and installed cannons."

"But it's useless." The Grand Master said depressedly.

The artillery of this era was not very powerful. Its main purpose was to attack immobile city walls, not moving people.

It's slow and the accuracy is completely mysterious.

It's not even suitable for attacking a phalanx, let alone an individual.

"So the barricades and cannons are just a cover. The real trap is the powder keg. Thomas designed an ignition device. When you pass by the powder keg, you step on the device and the gunpowder explodes!"

The Grand Master was stunned, then sighed.

"Then he set a massive trap at the Knights' headquarters. It included cannons, gunpowder, and even Greek fire!" Muzaffar continued. "According to what I've heard, it rained heavily that day. And amidst this torrential downpour, a fire broke out at the Knights' headquarters. The fire was so intense that it softened the stones. I found a stone and it proved true. The stones were so brittle that a gentle blow cracked them, knocking off countless fragments."

"Burned to death?"

"Even if he wasn't burned to death, he was seriously injured," Muzaffar replied. "Grandmaster, you know that normal regenerative abilities are afraid of fire..."

This is intuitive experience, because humans are like this. After being burned, there is no recovery. The Wolf God is definitely no exception.

Things would become simple from now on. Thomas could gather a group of men and kill the severely injured Wolf God on the spot.

Of course, it was indeed very likely that Thomas himself had dealt the final blow.

This is also consistent with his identity.

"But how did Thomas escape from such a dangerous trap?" asked the Grand Master.

"Two reasons. The first is that he used a jet device to douse the Wolf God in Greek fire without affecting himself. The second is that the doors of the staircases and corridors in the Knights' headquarters are not large enough. I'm afraid Lord Wolf God would have a hard time squeezing in!"

Thomas could retreat, but the Wolf God had no way of chasing him.

In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for this matter.

The bottom line is that the Wolf God was too careless and underestimated the enemy.

But to be specific, it's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning. Who in their right mind would come up with so many tricks!

According to the conventional concept of this era, Thomas's countermeasure should be to concentrate all the elite soldiers of the Knights in Rhodes Island and prepare enough muskets and arrows to fight against the Wolf God.

Try to overwhelm the enemy with numbers.

Instead of such weird ideas.

"I understand. I will report your findings." The Grand Master closed his eyes, as if considering something. "Muzaffar, there have been personnel changes at headquarters."

"what?"
