Elden Clergyman

"Ashimi, the child I picked up on the road, his true form is a silver teardrop."

As he said that, Lord took Ashmi's hand, led her out, and greeted the people around him briefly.

After saying hello, seeing that Lord seemed to be planning to continue exploring the map, Ashmi hesitated for a moment and then offered his suggestion.

"Simply resisting filth like this won't have any effect."

"Because filth itself is merely the extension of His power acting on the flesh; the true essence is hidden within the Holy Grail."

"If we truly want to suppress the filth, we must find the filthy individual that possesses the power of the Holy Grail and kill it. Only then can we prevent the filth from continuing to be produced..."

I get it, just kill the boss.

Lord nodded, then looked at the city shrouded in filth in the distance, and mentally estimated where the boss might be.

Just as Lord was thinking, another being took the initiative to find him and joined his team.

It was a girl with huge antlers on her head.

Yes, it is the King of Ancestral Spirits.

"Simply resisting attrition is not a solution. I want to join your team to solve the root of the filth..."

Lord certainly welcomed the joining of the King of Ancestral Spirits.

On the one hand, of course, this thing looks like a side quest. On the other hand, based on his previous observations, he found that the monster accumulation phenomenon in the filthy city in the distance seemed to be a bit too serious.

The number of monsters doesn't even look like a Souls-based game, he would believe it if you said it was a Dynasty Warriors game.

I don’t know why, but when the King of Ancestral Spirits came over and introduced himself, the expressions of the people around him seemed to become a little subtle.

But Lord didn't care. After briefly confirming the situation, he turned Ashmi into a living sword and prepared to continue exploring the map.

Starting from the blessing of the Ancestral Forest, following the traces of spreading filth, Lord found a new blessing after a while.

The cliff next to the water diversion bridge.

After jumping down from the cliff and dancing along the ruins of the building for a while, the body of a Forge Knight lying on the side of the road, surrounded by piles of zombie corpses, appeared in front of him.

After walking over and touching it, a prompt popped up.

[Obtain the equipment 'Furnace Horn Shield']

The fragments of the furnace have changed.

After taking two more steps forward, a Forge Knight who was not holding a shield but holding a large tree spear appeared in front of Lord.

But unlike the previous corpse, this Crucible Knight had obviously been infected by filth, with dark brown flesh constantly flowing out of his body, and he was surrounded by a large number of elite filthy zombies.

After getting closer, he directly revealed his name and health bar.

[Knight of the Filthy Furnace]

Then, after the golden mist rose, accompanied by the roar of the filthy Knight, he—⒐—zero>⒌.

Got caught in seconds.

A golden blade burning with golden flames, a storm of water birds dancing like blades, and icy magic carrying a chill...

The blood-red trident that appeared out of nowhere, the Ancestral Spirit Sniper Cannon that was even more powerful than the Crazy Fire Sniper, and the silver-white claws that dealt triple-digit damage just to make up the numbers...

The roar hadn't even ended yet, and accompanied by a colorful attack, Lord hadn't even made a move yet, but the Filthy Furnace Knight's health bar was directly reduced to zero.

The system prompt sounded.

The fragments of the furnace have changed.

As for why this happens?

Then we have to ask some foreign god who just arrived here, hasn't figured out the situation yet, saw a strange law, and created a rule that doesn't limit the number of people on both sides...

Yes, because he felt that his filthy zombies won by numbers, and he didn't know what was going on, so the guy inside directly made a rule to increase the number of people on both sides. That was also the reason why he was able to pile up monsters to that level despite Lord's laws.

but now......

After activating this restriction, Lord did not hesitate to be polite with Him. After gathering everyone together, they all went forward shoulder to shoulder.

Admittedly, there were a lot of foul monsters, and as the group progressed, the quality of the zombies inside quickly increased.

In addition to ordinary zombies and elite zombies encountered before, there are also big ant zombies and Knox zombies that have not been completely melted, like the first stage of the boss encountered at the beginning.

If Lord came alone, facing the filthy city piled with monsters, even if he was given unlimited energy and unlimited mana, it would be difficult for him to push forward.

After all, unlike other games, the monster stacking in Soul Travel really involves the nature of the whole family.

Hard straight combo, blocking the small corner, continuous pressing up...

There is no need for elites. In the absence of group attack means, just put three dogs with hatred chain there, and if the operation is good enough, they can kill people directly.

Before, although that zombie was already quite powerful, the attributes of the zombies on the periphery were not that high, and the people of the ancestors were engaged in another faction war.

So even if it was a bit against the will of heaven, Lord turned a blind eye to it for the sake of fairness.

But now, you have so many monsters in your territory, not just soldiers, but also elites and even bosses...

Although there are other solutions, such as cutting it into a larger size.

But Lord didn't want to do that. He wanted to give the other person a taste of his own medicine.

You like to pile things up, right? Then I'll pile things up too.

So, after gathering everyone over, Lord couldn't bear it anymore and took everyone with him.

He and Ashmi carried the front line, with Millicent following behind to release the water birds.

Melina is responsible for providing buffs and recovery, while the Ancestral King next to her is holding a sniper rifle that is as powerful as a cannon and firing waves.

Reina provided magical support and damage, while Elizabeth roamed around, harvesting the heads of those with low health...

Later, it turned out that the filth was indeed piled with a lot of monsters, even a lot of bosses.

During the whole process, not a single blessing point was left for Lord, but a boss appeared every two steps.

First came the Filthy Furnace Knight, then the advanced Filthy Nox Witch, then two Filthy Giants, and in between were countless monsters and elites, even in the boss arena...

But is it useful?

Maybe a little.

At least Ashmi enjoyed the meal.

After chopping off seven or eight bosses in a row and absorbing their cores, Ashmi's attributes and attack modules have been visibly improved.

Although she is still not as strong as the heavyweights around her, she is already much stronger than before. Even a fully charged slap can cause four-digit damage.

Furthermore, in addition to the improvement in attributes and damage, Ashmi's appearance also changed after absorbing enough Holy Grail power.

The body becomes larger and the mimicked appearance becomes more mature, as if it is growing up rapidly.

Lord originally thought that when the child grew up, he would not only not leave his body, but would also become more independent and would not cling to him so much.

But the result was that as the child grew in size, he became even more attached to him.

Even after growing to a certain size, he removed the lower half of his body that had turned into a katana, and used the remaining body parts to cover his body with a layer of living film.

To simply describe the function of this thing, in addition to ordinary equipment, it can also provide him with a certain amount of additional physical damage reduction.

Because this function was quite practical, Lord didn't think much of it and just regarded it as a reward for the side quest.

Then, along with the overwhelming advance of several people, there were various massacres going back and forth on the road.

Not to mention their vicinity, even in the Zulin Forest, they felt a significant reduction in filth, and they were a little puzzled as to why no filth was coming over.

But this is actually not surprising.

After all, Filth is ultimately just an external deity, and it has been able to expand to its current size by borrowing the power of the Holy Grail in the city of Knox.

When He was following the rules, Lord only used a trumpet and it was difficult for him to do anything.

but now......

Let’s take a closer look at Lord’s current team configuration.

Demigods, outer deities, ancestral kings...

In this team, even the Snow Witch who studies Dark Moon is considered a low-end combat force.

In this situation, it would be difficult for the filth to even delay their progress, let alone resist.

In fact, in addition to Lord and his group and the Ancestral Forest, the Filth was also fighting with two other forces.

After pushing open the last golden fog door, Lord also saw the two forces.

The embodiment of filth

['Death Knight' Freya]

['Dark Stars' Esti]

As soon as he entered the fog gate, the names of three bosses and three health bars appeared directly in front of Lord.

Lord originally thought that there were three bosses piled up, but when he looked up, he found that the three health bars had merged together.

It was a pool of water with countless foul flowers blooming, and in the distance there was a waterfall flowing continuously.

At the edge of the waterfall, a huge human upper body made of dark red filth was standing there, with a black fragment embedded in its forehead. It smashed its hands violently, and a large amount of filth erupted around it.

In front of Him, there was a figure wearing black armor, who looked like a female knight. There were two black fragments embedded on the back of her exposed hand, and she was holding a bone-yellow sword.

After accumulating strength for a while, he thrust it into the ground fiercely, summoning the souls of more than a dozen dead borns.

Next to these two, there was a centipede that looked like a string of stars, floating in the air. A black fragment was embedded in one of the stars in its body, and underneath it were floating many big-eyed monsters that Lord had seen before.

What BVB war.

Seeing how lively this place was, not to mention Elizabeth, even Lord wanted to watch the fun.

But in the end, as soon as he came in, the Star Centipede looked at him, and it seemed as if it was going to attack him. It opened its mouth towards him, and magic power continued to gather in its mouth.

But when the results were half gathered, he seemed to have noticed something, and after determining the source of the aura, obvious fear appeared in his eyes.

Then he simply closed his mouth, and despite the damage to his body, he forced himself to swallow the charged light cannon. In the next second, he immediately summoned a black hole and drilled into it, disappearing without a trace.

The black knight on the side didn't know what was happening, but seeing the star centipedes fleeing, he also smelled something bad.

After a brief thought, he went straight into a coffin near the filthy incarnation. After closing the coffin lid, he disappeared into the venue along with the flow of the waterfall.

"Oh, no, why did they all run away..."

Lord had just squatted down to take out the shrimp when the other two forces ran away.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, Lord could only sigh, stand up, and walk in front of the incarnation of filth.

Behind him, there were a bunch of demigods and gods.

Then, a roar filled with anger and pain was heard, so loud that even the Ancestral Forest could hear it.

Under this roaring call, countless dark brown flesh pastes began to wriggle, and the filthy flowers in the pool also opened their eyes one by one and grew various blasphemous bodies.

The earth began to tremble, and the terrifying pressure continued to spread. The true filthy nature, which far surpassed zombies and various infected creatures, finally revealed its true appearance in front of Lord.

Gigantic wings that blocked out the sun and sky, giant claws of flesh and blood distorting its face, brown flesh that continuously flowed out from all parts of its body and then slowly condensed, and eyes filled with ominousness and terror...

Then--

despair.

The moon is hidden and returns to its sheath.

The huge monster fell to the ground.

Chapter 88: What the hell are you doing!

With the fall of the incarnation of filth, the filth that spread throughout the eternal city of Nokron continued to wriggle and expand outward.

After losing the essence of its support, it finally stopped moving and began to gradually disintegrate.
