Elden Clergyman

After all, if there were no restrictions on summoning, then if you just collected some ashes and brought them into the range of the Resurrection Monument, you could probably create a beggar's version of the Endless God of War.

"Then I'll disperse it first...wait."

Lord suddenly remembered something.

Wait, soul?

Looking at the soul-calling bell in his hand, he came up with a bold idea.

Then, in Melina's astonished eyes, Lord rang the bell three times in a row, and together with the previous wandering dignitaries, he summoned four kinds of ashes at the same time.

It actually works?

Looking at the ashes he summoned with his trumpet, Lord himself was stunned.

He thought it would be good enough if he could use two kinds of ashes on two numbers at the same time, but he didn't expect that he would succeed three times. And it seems that if he had run out of ashes in his hand, he would have continued to shake.

He even had a vague feeling that if it was a large one, then even if he was not near the Resurrection Monument, he could use his own soul to support it and forcibly summon the ashes with a greater consumption.

"Now I have truly become the Endless God of War."

After complaining, Lord looked at the finger witch he had just summoned.

The other party's condition was somewhat different from the other ashes. He seemed to still retain a trace of consciousness, but like a candle swaying in the wind, it seemed as if it would go out at any time.

"She is..." Melina also noticed the abnormality of the Finger Witch's ashes.

"It should be my original finger witch, but I'm not sure. After all, you know, I have lost my memory."

Looking at the finger witch in front of him, Lord couldn't help but frown.

Although he gave her a new form through the spirit bell, this state...

"Melina, do you know how to heal souls?"

Melina shook her head.

The Golden Tree series of spells were quite effective in restoring both the body and the mind, but as for the soul, because in the Golden Law, the soul itself was an eternal and immortal existence, few people specialized in studying this aspect.

In the past, she could give the other party some advice, such as finding a professional spirit trainer, or simply returning to the tree.

But now, people with the talent of spirit trainers are already quite rare. After the Shattered War began, due to the chaos of war, corpses, and various other reasons, finding a spirit trainer in the border area is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And Guishu...

If the Guishu tree could still function normally, the border area would not be in such a terrible state now.

"Then Alice..."

Alice also shook her head: "I don't know either."

That seems like there's no way around it.

Lord sighed and prepared to take the ashes back.

But just as he was about to retract it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the "Soul Energy" in the corner out of the corner of his eye.

and many more.

He suddenly realized something.

Although he didn't know any spells to heal the soul, if her soul was incomplete, would it be helpful to replenish her a little?

It was like after she was injured, Lord didn't dare to touch her wound because he didn't know the first aid plan. But since the injury was so serious, feeding her a little food or giving her some nutrient solution would at least be of some help, right?

Besides, he couldn't upgrade either, and had no place to use the extra souls, so he might as well feed them to others.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his fingertips, concentrated his mind, extracted a little bit of the soul in the system, spread it out, and cut out a small handful from it.

A white soul emerged from his fingertips and was then carefully fed into the witch's mouth.

I can't give her too much, for fear that she won't be able to bear it. I also can't let it leave her body, because a pure soul can easily be contaminated by other things, and even develop its own consciousness, which might allow her to take over another body.

Looking at the fingertips stretched out in front of her, the soul seemed to realize something. She put her hair up, lowered her head, and gently licked the soul.

Then he froze.

effective!

Although it was very faint, Lord could indeed see that the other party was digesting that trace of pure soul.

Although it’s not much, although it’s very slow, although it’s just a little bit, it really helps.

It was just because of her current state that it was difficult for her to digest even a tiny bit of her soul, so she stayed where she was.

"You...gave her a share of your soul?" Melina was a little surprised.

"Well, there's nowhere to use it anyway."

After answering, Lord suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, are you a spirit too?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Would you like some too?"

As he spoke, a small ball of soul appeared in Lord's hand, and while Melina was still in a daze, he threw it at her.

Although there will be certain losses in supplying in this way, after all, once the soul leaves the body, in addition to the risk of contamination, it will continue to dissipate.

But the finger witch thing was a last resort. After all, if she wasn't in that state, she would die easily. But Melina's spirit and soul were intact. It was really inappropriate to let a grown girl come and lick her fingers.

"Then...thank you."

Melina wanted to refuse, but the problem was that walking in the world as a soul was more exhausting than in a normal state.

Not to mention that she had participated in the battle against Messemo before, and the energy she consumed at that time is still very much lacking, so she really needs to replenish it.

"Would you like some?"

Alice thought about it, nodded, and asked for some soul to taste, then gave the rest to Melina.

She has no soul, she just wants to taste something.

After Alice, Lord called out Tolet, and while stroking the cute little calf with his hands, he also fed it some soul.

After feeding them, Lord dismissed the ashes, including the Finger Witch, so that they could quietly digest the gains in their inventory, then left the cave and began exploring again.

This time, because there was a coast on the west side, he thought about it and decided to go to the east side first.

There wasn't much to say along the way. We didn't encounter any caves. We just killed some monsters on the road, got some runes, and collected some materials.

Because the real world is much larger than what is shown in the game, and Lord was afraid of missing out on some items and props, he didn't cross the bridge until nightfall. After walking a distance to the northeast, he came across a new blessing point.

Edge of the fog forest.

And just when we opened this blessing point and were about to continue on our journey.

As soon as he mounted Torrett, he heard a sound suddenly from the woods in the distance.

"Ow—"

It was a shrill wolf howl.

Chapter 12: There is a dog ahead, please bear witness!

"What the hell is this!"

In the ruins of the mist forest, the severely injured Blaze looked at the "thing" in front of him with astonishment in his eyes.

Blaze is a subordinate of the witch Lani whom Lord met before. This trip is to hunt down a traitor named "Dariwell".

According to the information she got, the area where Darriwell was last active was nearby, so she came to this "Mist Forest Ruins" because there was a very high building wreckage here. Standing on it, she could overlook most of the surrounding area.

Unlike Lord, although there are some monsters active in the Fog Forest Ruins, after all, not all of them are undead or faded ones, the kind of beings that would chase and bite any passing dog. In addition, she stands very high, so she has always been at peace with the monsters below.

Until a ball of creeping mud covered the giant bear that was taking a nap among the ruins.

Where did that mass of mud come from, how long had it existed, and why did it appear? Not only Blaze, but even the monsters in the ruins couldn't explain it.

It seemed to appear out of thin air, yet also seemed to have always existed, like a mass of mud, yet also like a mass of hard fragments.

The sleeping giant bear was caught off guard and merged with the mud in an instant. Then its flesh and fur began to melt, its body shape kept twisting, and various humanoid limbs grew on its skin, with a black mist like pus flowing in between.

"??椆?丆帆!"

The thing raised its head, let out an incomprehensible roar, and then launched an indiscriminate attack on everything around it.

The attack was extremely chaotic, and each limb seemed to have its own consciousness, waving around randomly and launching chaotic and different attacks.

Slap, punch, claw...

Broken limbs, bone knives, heads...

There were even a few arms that shot out blue magic arrows while waving, stabbing the passing squirrels in the heart.

"What happened? What happened?..."

Blaze didn't want to get involved in this matter at first. After all, the border area lacked everything except monsters.

Until she noticed that after the kill, the monster seemed to have grown a bit bigger and its flailing limbs were more powerful.

Moreover, the increase is quite large.

It is growing rapidly.

After making this judgment, Blaze's eyes focused, and he jumped down from a high place, waving the royal giant sword in his hand and directly chopped it down on the monster.

The cold air exploded, and the icy temperature engulfed everything around it, freezing the monster in an instant. The waving arms broke directly due to inertia after being frozen, and turned into fragments after hitting the ground.

But just when Blaze thought she had killed the monster, a skinny arm grew out from the place where her giant sword had split it, holding a staff that looked like a deformed human corpse with its limbs chopped off.

The staff lit up.

Blaze's heart was filled with alarm and he dodged instantly, but he was still a step too late.

boom--

The blue crystal soul gun shot out instantly and exploded in Blaze's chest. This single blow took half her life.

Then, before she could recover, two clumps of black mud burst out, and that thing that seemed like the pus of human nature roared and smashed towards her. Although she reacted as quickly as possible and used the giant sword as a shield in front of her, she was still knocked away.

"What happened this morning?"

Although it had the upper hand, the monster's roar sounded even more desperate.

It was like an abandoned cub calling for its mother, or like a knight in the abyss singing for their king.

Then, more limbs stretched out.

Those twisted, desperate, wailing in pain, and longing for death were forcibly pulled back into the world.

Blaze wanted to retreat, but the previous injuries had severely affected her mobility, and because of the previous attack, the twisted monster had already made her its first target, and all the magic and miracles on its arms were aimed at her.

But just as she picked up the sword and prepared to fight to the death——

Ta-da.

A very soft snap of fingers.

A golden meteor fell from the sky, hitting the monster, and then exploded, like a golden sun rising, almost lighting up the entire sky.

Boom——⒊

After the flash of light, a large sword with embers fell from the sky and struck the monster, and the flames instantly engulfed it.

But it’s not over yet.

A back jump dodges the sudden burst of human pus, and a big fireball hits it.

boom--

The moment the fireball exploded, a spiral sword blade emerged from the flames and stabbed into the monster's body. The spiral sword sank into the monster's body and then ignited flames.

As the embers of the flames rose, the monster roared in pain, but for some reason, the roar didn't sound as desperate as before, even...

Somewhat delighted.

"??丆屷庡懇?丆撨暟?祅充综合ba??両......"

The flames began to burn.

Flames from the inside out ignited in this monster of unknown origin, turning its body, along with the cursed pain and despair, into ashes.

"You are......"

Blaze looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing strange armor that looked like it had been burned by flames, with a look of surprise.

But the strange man did not answer her immediately. Instead, he suddenly turned around and looked at the blonde girl who had appeared beside him.
