This isn't a souls-like game at all.

……

At some point, Ye Yiyi had arrived at a familiar place.

A blood-clotting monster dressed as a hunter roared and climbed up from the corner of the wall and rushed towards him.

"Rest in peace, young hunter."

He spoke softly, raised the Danghai Seat high and chopped it down, chopping it into pieces without dodging or avoiding it.

Soul Echo +275

He walked slowly over and picked up a threaded cane from the ground.

【Threaded Cane】

Requirements: Strength 10, Skill 14

Damage Modification: Strength E, Skill C

Durability: 188/200

Skill cost: [0/10]

Item Description: Mechanical weapon from the Hunter God Workshop.

It is a hunting weapon for hunters.

The cane has a blade on one side and can be wielded as a sword.

A spring mechanism is activated to eject spikes from the cane.

Can penetrate strong armor at extremely close range.

The cane is not a weapon in appearance.

This is to walk among the people and publicize the dangers of pollution.

But it does not scare the people's original intention of design.

Combat Skill: Church Hunter Piercing

Step forward and activate the spring mechanism at the same time.

A combat technique that uses the force of the forward charge to enhance the penetrating power of spikes.

Consumes concentration points to increase its power.

"Like Eurost, you use the same weapon."

Ye Yiyi looked down at the mottled holy monument in the corner and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "If I had known earlier, I would have asked your name."

He put away his staff, replenished his depleted blue bar at the holy monument, and then continued forward carrying the Dang Hai Zuo, sweeping away all the blood coagulation monsters.

His soul's echoes soon exceeded 100,000.

Current Soul Echoes: 138871

Ye Yiyi didn't make a rough count, but he knew that the number of blood coagulation monsters that died at his hands was close to five hundred.

And this is only a part of the many coagulation monsters. More monsters rushed into the depths of the village that had not yet been contaminated by divinity.

As he got closer, although Ye Yiyi didn't see the firebird falling again, the sounds of explosions of flames and thunder had already been endless.

The ground was shaking as numerous knights fought against the blood-clotting monsters.

Ye Yiyi continued to move forward, and then unexpectedly saw someone he wanted to kill.

That was Arvid, who was riding a blood-armored horse, wearing crystal armor, holding a lance, and turned into a blood-clotting monster.

Seeing a living person, Avid raised his spear and drove the horse under his crotch to charge towards Ye Yiyi.

"So you've also turned into a blood-clotting monster."

Ye Yiyi dodged the lance charge with his stormy steps, and looked at Avid who was circling his horse and continuing to charge towards him, feeling completely bored.

"It's boring."

He didn't know why this person had such a big opinion about the Hunting God Church, and he didn't want to know.

People from the Church of the Hunting God started dying in the simulated house.

Even in the face of pollution, they never retreated, but instead persisted in attacking the coagulation monsters.

Instead of defending the people who are trying their best to protect you, you attack them?

Ye Yiyi glanced at him coldly, and when the lance came, he jumped up heavily, flipped his body and passed over Arvid's head.

He reached out, grabbed the crystal helmet, and yanked it off the horse.

He landed gracefully on the ground, then raised the Danghaizuo high and slashed hard at the blood-clotting monster that fell to the ground.

"Crack!"

The blood-clotting monster transformed by Avid exploded with a loud bang.

"What a death!"

He shouldered the oversized sword, stepped over the shattered crystal debris, and picked up the three-meter-long lance from the ground.

Arvid Cavalry Spear

Requirements: Strength 22, Skill 14

Damage correction: Strength D, Skill D

Durability: 176/200

Skill consumption: None

Item Description: A large spear with a long, conical spike at the tip.

A bladeless weapon that is particularly strong in thrusting attacks.

This gives you an advantage when riding a horse or engaging mounted enemies.

Arvid, who lived in the Dark River Forest and made a living by robbing passing caravans,

Later, he was appreciated by Sir Federico and became the commander of the cavalry regiment.

"Turns out he's a bandit, ugh!"

Ye Yiyi spat, put away the cavalry spear, and killed the horse that had turned into a blood-clotting monster, then walked away without looking back.

As he moved forward, he passed by several burning houses and streets littered with the remains of blood-clotting monsters. Soon he arrived at the location where the blood-clotting monsters were attacking the Knights' defense line.

The Fire Crown Knights used several bridges as a defense line on the other side of the river called "Aner" that runs through the entire Garden Village to resist the attack from the blood coagulation monsters.

It's a tough battle.

All attacks of the Blood Coagulation Monster are accompanied by Divine Pollution. As long as you are hit, the Divine Pollution bar will accumulate.

If that were all, the Fire Crown Knights could still handle it with their armor.

But the deadly thing is that the blood coagulation monster can also attack from a distance.

The long cones of blood coagulation they shoot out will turn into countless fragments and splash around after landing.

To put it in a figurative way, this debris is equivalent to a fragmentation grenade that explodes as soon as it hits the ground.

Behind the Fire Crown Knights are the monks from the Fire Sparrow Order.

As hymn-praisers, they were not wearing metal armor, so they were almost defenseless when faced with the first round of long-range attacks from the blood coagulation monster.

In just a moment, nearly half of the monks died.

The blood they shed almost turned into a small river, almost dyeing the Aner River red.

Stimulated by the blood, the blood coagulation monsters became more brutal and attacked desperately.

Therefore, around the Aner River, the Fire Crown Knights fought an extremely difficult tug-of-war with the blood coagulation monsters.

Ye Yiyi looked at the seemingly endless blood-clotting monsters that almost filled the entire street, and silently raised the Danghai Seat high.

Amid the crackling of lightning and thunder, the screams of flames and firebirds.

The battle was not over until sunset.

He walked through the streets stained with blood, and in the square, he saw the old hunter Agosto sitting on the statue of the head of the Archbishop of Holy Blood.

"Where is Sir Federico now?" Ye Yiyi asked calmly.

Chapter 154 Intelligence Characteristics: Godlike

"Where is Sir Federico now?"

Covered in blood, his long black windbreaker was tattered, and he had two new scars on his face. His single eye was filled with exhaustion.

Hearing this, he slowly raised his head and shook his head at Ye Yiyi.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him since the battle began... If my guess is correct, he must have already fled when the blood-clotting monster appeared."

"..."

Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply and sat down next to the old hunter.

"Here."

He prepared a bottle of life essence and a bottle of resuscitation potion on the spot, and then handed them to him.

"Leave it to the children. I can still hold on."

Agosto's ferocious face smiled and rejected him.

He looked up at the village that had been reduced to ruins, and at the Knight of the Fire Crown lying on the stretcher, wailing faintly.

Looking at the Fire Sparrow Monk who was covered with a black cloth and had already fallen silent.

And the hunters were sparse in number and all of them were injured.

The setting sun in the distance looked like blood, and faint cries could be heard in my ears.

The bloody twilight fell on everyone, making it difficult to tell which was blood and which was light.

Ye Yiyi watched the scene with him and casually handed the potion to a young hunter passing by.

The hunter was stunned for a moment when he took the potion, then he recognized Ye Yiyi and gave him a hunter's greeting with a firm face.

He then went to the stretcher in the corner and fed the potion in his hand to a dying Fire Sparrow monk.

"We were lucky," Agosto said suddenly. "The damage wasn't great, and we were able to prevent the contamination from spreading, preventing any more serious consequences."

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched.

"Half the village's population died. How can you call that a small loss?"

"It's indeed not that big, compared to previous divine pollution incidents."

Agosto said quietly, "Sir Gus, you must have never seen the tragic scene of an entire principality where all the lives were transformed into war beasts.

"Hundreds of thousands of people died at that time, and that was just humans, not counting the number of animals...

"That struggle against divine pollution lasted for many years. Even now, the divine pollution there has not been completely eliminated, and the war beasts still linger there."

"..."

Ye Yiyi suddenly didn't know what to say.

In comparison, the losses in Huayuan Village were not that great.

"Where is that place?" he asked.

"In the northwest of the northern border, there is a small country on a remote plateau."

Agosto gave him a tired smile: "Do you still have the strength?"

"Yes, I came here to kill Federico."

"Don't worry, he can't escape."

"Did you send anyone after him?"
