A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Moreover, we are now in such a favorable situation.

The Beast Lord was completely unable to move, but Thomas was unharmed.

Although his coat was torn from the friction with the cliff rocks, he was actually not hurt at all.

Thomas raised his sword and slashed at the opponent's neck.

Then he felt the skin on the Beast Lord's neck where the sword blade touched sank deeply under the pressure, but the sword blade could never penetrate under the skin, as if the skin surface was covered with an invisible flexible film.

Even a sharp magic sword can't do anything to it.

"Ha...hahaha..." The Beast Demon Lord laughed. "I told you, even if I stand still, you can't kill me."

"This should be... a supernatural power," Thomas said. "But you didn't show it before. You were using your whip blade to block and parry with me... If you were truly invulnerable, you wouldn't need to block. So it must have a flaw. I assume that when you use this power, your body becomes immobile, right?"

While speaking, Thomas continuously stabbed all the possible weaknesses of the beast demon lords, but it proved that this power protected the whole body and had no loopholes.

"Okay, you guessed right." The Beast Demon Lord smiled awkwardly. "But what can I do?"

He couldn't move now anyway.

"If it were truly flawless, you wouldn't have needed to fight me for so long. Simply unleashing this power would have completely broken my will to fight," Thomas continued. "But you didn't do that, so this power can't be infinite. Either it can be targeted, or there's a limit to the damage it can withstand."

The Beast Demon Lord was silent for a while before speaking.

"So what? As long as you can't hurt me, that's all."

Thomas didn't hold back just now, so if his defense wasn't broken, it really wasn't broken.

Even if one has sharp eyes and clever reasoning, the weak are weak and cannot use them when given the opportunity.

"I'll give you one last chance," the Beast Lord said. "If you..."

His voice stopped as Thomas stepped back, sword in hand, eyes closed, and remained motionless.

This was completely different from the anger and anxiety that the Beast Demon Lord had imagined.

In other words, this human still has a trick up his sleeve.

Then he saw Thomas open his eyes, and the energy of the magic network surged through his body.

Then, a hazy white light emerged from his sword.

The Beast Demon Lord was horrified because he felt the power that was enough to destroy him.

"Wait..." He barely uttered the words when Thomas stepped forward with his sword and struck him down.

Break the evil!

Chapter 57: Fortune Teller 1

Under the sword, the extraordinary power guarding the Beast Demon Lord finally collapsed.

As Thomas learned, the Evil-Breaking Slash is specifically designed to target all non-human monsters.

The beast demon lord's body and head were separated.

In the past, those inferior beast ghosts would struggle for a long time even if their heads were chopped off, but the Beast Ghost Lord dealt with it directly.

It was already badly injured from falling off the cliff, and now it had no strength to struggle.

Thomas saw its body changing color, and its flesh and blood quickly turned into foul-smelling rotten meat, which then scattered all over the ground.

The foul-smelling rotten flesh further transformed into a black, smelly liquid, which quickly disappeared into the cracks in the rocks and into the soil.

Even its solid bones could not be preserved. They dried up and decayed before Thomas' eyes.

Like carbon ash, it will disintegrate with the slightest touch.

It was only about ten minutes before the Beast Demon Lord's body completely disappeared.

Only a head remained.

The beast lord's head also shrank considerably, becoming roughly the size of a fist, but it did not disappear.

The muscles attached to it seemed to have melted away, but the most important skull and part of the attached skin were still there.

Thomas carefully tested it several times to make sure that this thing was really like this.

What's the use of this head?

Of course Thomas himself didn’t understand it at all, but that didn’t matter, because there were people who did.

Gandalf would certainly understand.

Gandalf didn't understand, there is still the church!

Thomas cut a piece of the beast lord's remaining clothing, wrapped the head, and held it in his hand.

Now it’s time to tackle the next question – where is here?

Thomas didn't know the way, but he had a general idea of ​​the direction.

After all, the direction can be determined by the sun. In addition, Thomas also carried a compass with him.

He started moving in the direction.

The situation is very bad now. After this battle, he is afraid that he has lost his mount and most of his luggage.

Luckily I brought some gold coins with me... but unfortunately I didn't bring any food or water.

The food was placed on the horses.

There is no way to go, I can only think about this problem after I get down the mountain.

Unfortunately, Thomas's current priority is to get back to Bohemia, otherwise, he might be able to collect a reward for the Beast Lord's head.

Judging from the few words of the deceased ascetic monk, the Hungarians blocked the border passes not for foreign war or civil war, but because of the Beast Lord.

Thomas advanced slowly along the way.

Not knowing the road, all he could do was to move in the straightest possible direction.

With Thomas' current skills, climbing mountains and crossing ridges is not a difficult task. In his previous life, he could have competed for the global rock climbing championship.

The trouble was, I had no idea where I was and no food or water.

Fortunately, he still had some divine power, so he was not afraid.

Divine power is omnipotent - it can not only cure diseases, heal injuries, and restore fatigue, but also replenish nutrition.

Thomas will not die of hunger or thirst until his divine power is exhausted.

After crossing mountains and hills, Thomas sat down to rest by a small bush at dusk.

This small shrub is often seen in mountainous areas - it has very strong vitality.

Thomas picked a few young leaves and put them in his mouth. Although the shrub was not poisonous, the leaves were bitter and astringent.

But even if it is bitter, it can at least replenish some water.

Although divine power is omnipotent, its quantity is limited. Don't waste it if you can.

I walked for a whole day, but I still couldn't see the end, and I had no idea where I was.

At night, it is more dangerous to move than during the day. Even a master climber can fall if he is not careful.

While I was wondering what to do, I unexpectedly heard the sound of horse hooves.

There was a clacking sound… a sound Thomas knew all too well. The sound of horseshoes hitting exposed rock.

The sound came from far away and came towards this side.

A team is coming!

Thomas was overjoyed. He put away his belongings and waited patiently by the side.

Then his eyes widened and he saw the team.

A figure was coming over, leading five or six animals.

Isn't this... my companion?

Everyone else was dead, but she was the only one alive? And she took all her mounts with her?

And the luggage hanging on the mount!

The road was now smooth enough for horseback riding, so the woman sat on the back of the prairie horse, looking through the documents she had found in the saddle bag.

This was the most valuable thing among the spoils she had obtained this time.

Specifically, it is a receipt for receiving money.

With this document, the holder could go to various Jewish strongholds in Bohemia and collect 10,000 florins in gold coins.

You don't even need to go to the Jewish community strongholds, just find the Jews who are responsible for financial lending.

However, this item is not a "ticket-based, not person-based" item. The holder must be a young man named Thomas with the required appearance. In addition, there is a time limit for receiving it.

Ten thousand florins!

It is enough for a person to live a comfortable and luxurious life in a large or medium-sized city for the rest of his life!

In some places, you can even buy a noble status.

So, although there are certain risks in receiving this thing, it is worth the risk.

She's not afraid of risks, is she? She's a master fortune teller. A transcendent being gifted with the power of divination!

She took out the crystal ball. Inside the crystal ball, there was a mist-like smoke surrounding it.

Let's do some divination to find out how to get this money.

Riding on a horse, he carefully observed the various summons indicated by the crystal ball, looking for the person who could help him collect the money.

"Huh...what do you mean? No difficulty at all?"

According to the divination, she didn't need to do anything or look for the right person, she would naturally meet him.

"Oh, am I so lucky?"

Then she divined whether she would be in danger.

After all, money can move people's hearts, and it is still a bit risky for a woman to carry a large amount of wealth.

"Danger... great danger... immediate danger... what's going on?" She put down the crystal ball in horror and looked up.

There was already a figure standing in front.

She instinctively tried to spur her horse back, but it was too late. Furthermore, in her haste, the horse beneath her crotch suddenly lost control and leaped, throwing her off the saddle.

The woman fell hard on her buttocks. But before she could get up, a face that frightened her appeared before her.

In fact, there was nothing to be afraid of in that face itself. It was a young face and looked good.

But it still scared her and made her scream.

Because this face belongs to a man who was supposed to be dead - Aragorn.

Chapter 58: Fortune Teller 2

She remembered clearly that Aragorn fell from a cliff thousands of feet high.

She even deliberately stuck her head out from the top of the cliff to make sure that Aragorn had actually fallen down and was not blocked by any branches or protruding rocks.

At that height...any normal human being would surely die.

There's no need to even look for a body.

But now, the other party was standing in front of him intact, and it looked like he was not dead, nor even injured.

In addition to the previous incident with the Beast Demon Lord, she had seen it all the way through.

"What are you shouting about!" Thomas yelled, then reached out and took the receipt from the other party.

This ten thousand florins was Thomas's entire fortune—or rather, he had mortgaged his entire fortune to get it. The other party holding this thing clearly had ill intentions.

The woman was shaking constantly, her legs were weak, and she couldn't stand up.

Thomas put his things away and turned to look at the woman.

Although this woman was just a chance acquaintance, she had seen too many things after all... Maybe I should give her a good scare?

"Wait! Don't kill me, I'm useful!" the woman shouted before Thomas could speak.
