Elden Clergyman

"The chat is over."

Under the leadership of Markit, the Crucible Knight walked up to Lord, stretched out his hand to him, and then the system prompt sounded.

[Obtain the ashes of the 'Forge Knight']

[Obtain the prayer 'Horn of the Crucible']

The fragments of the furnace have changed.

Ah, is the reward for this side quest so generous?

Looking at the 'Forge Knight' that appeared in his urn, Lord blinked.

Although he didn't exert much effort when fighting, you can tell from the action module and toughness that this guy can withstand and fight, has a high toughness reduction, and has AOE skills. He is definitely a good combat force.

As for why Market did this, the reason is actually not complicated.

His incarnation has a limited range of activities and cannot always follow Lord, so he needs someone to help monitor him.

And even though they hadn't been together for long, Markete discovered that, although this man did have some mental issues, he was quite nice to his 'friends'.

Actively turning into ashes to help in the battle can not only establish a good relationship, but also prevent him from suddenly going crazy one day and chopping the Crucible Knight as an enemy.

"Thanks."

After collecting the ashes and testing the newly acquired prayer, Lord boarded the upward elevator and returned to the blessing point of the city wall tower.

Then, after exploring for a while, he met a black-skinned female warrior in a room. She was kneeling in front of a corpse and saying something.

"Be proud of yourself. You are indeed an excellent warrior, but you followed the wrong person..."

Hearing the footsteps, the female warrior turned around and looked at Lord warily, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was no "gold" in his eyes.

"Oh, it's the Faded One. You don't look like one of Greg's accomplices. My name is Neferi Lu. I'm also a Faded One and a warrior."

"I came here at my adoptive father's command, but I never imagined Greg would commit such a heinous act as 'limb reattachment'. This is unbecoming of a king; even the wind is tainted."

"If you're here to challenge Greg, I can help. I don't need the Great Rune. I just want to complete the mission entrusted to me by my adoptive father."

"Although defeating Greg isn't part of my mission, I'm sure my adoptive father will turn a blind eye to this level of defilement even if I intervene."

Oh, a support unit, right?

After chatting with the female warrior, Lord moved forward again. This time, not long after, he saw a golden fog door. There was a blessing in a small room next to it.

Activate the blessing, recover the status, walk to the fog gate to explore, and the system pops up a message: [Do you want to enter the fog gate and challenge the 'Golden King' Greg?].

At the same time, three golden symbols were lit on the ground.

[Summon the helper 'Melina'? ]

[Summon the helper 'Evil Omen Demon·Markit'? ]

[Summon the helper 'Neferi Lu'? ]

Lord thought for a moment.

Well, now that I'm here and at the door, even though I feel like that 'Greck' isn't someone I can challenge at my level, it would be a bit uncomfortable to just leave without even a glance...

And although when the big account is used to kill someone, the small account can hardly get the rune due to the level difference, but when the two accounts are used together, props and other things will be counted on the small account, and the only loss is the rune...

While he was thinking, Lord put on an unusually thick rock-white armor, and the three golden symbols on the ground lit up one after another, summoning three helpers.

but......

"Don't worry, let me make some preparations."

After finishing speaking, Lord began to buff himself under the subtle expressions of the three thousand six silk people.

Oath of Gold and Stone (replaces the skin and makes an oath under the Golden Tree), Sunshine Nourishment (replaces the skin and makes the Golden Tree Farewell), Tears of Farewell (when receiving fatal damage, forces 1 health to remain)...

Inner Potential (Soul 40, at the cost of continuous blood loss, increases damage by %), Iron Body (Soul , increases all resistance), and then enchants the Hound's Fang with a Darkmoon Sword...

"okay."

Wearing the Havel suit (the strongest armor in the Soul system), with a big dragon tooth in his left hand and a dragon bell in his right hand, Lord entered the fog gate.

A huge, bloated figure emitting waves of oppression stood there, with its back to Lord, stroking the dragon corpse in front of it with its hand.

"Dragon, a fellow descendant of mine, your power is undoubtedly capable of pushing me to a higher realm..."

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Lord. The horrible body made up of human limbs was also revealed in front of Lord.

"Humph, a mere faded one, yet you are quite arrogant."

He raised his many hands and picked up his weapon - the golden axe that was even larger than that of an ordinary person.

boom--

The vibration caused by the giant axe falling to the ground could be clearly felt from dozens of meters away.

Then, a majestic voice sounded.

"Kneel down, I am the Golden King——"

boom--

A flash of lightning flashed.

Greg's words stopped abruptly.

The health bar instantly returns to zero.

Chapter 28: Give Me the Great Rune

Is this it?

Lord was still a little dazed until Greg's Great Rune was handed to him.

This can't be right? Didn't Roger just say he was a 'powerful demigod', 'without any weaknesses', 'possessing the strongest Great Rune', and even his last name was Ge...

"Of course it's not over." Market shook her head.

Lord breathed a sigh of relief.

"That means he will be resurrected and come back to fight again later..."

"No, I mean you have to go to the Tower of Divine Granting to activate this Great Rune, otherwise it won't work."

Marketeer also came to terms with it. She couldn't stop this guy anyway, and the two of them were getting along pretty well at the moment.

Moreover, rather than letting those Great Runes fall into the hands of those traitors, it is better to let this lunatic take them. Even if he really gets two Great Runes and enters the royal city, judging from the current situation, with a little communication between the two of them, maybe they can win him over to the Golden Tree camp.

As for Xiao Ge...

After picking up the head from the ground and wrapping it in cloth, Market sighed.

Although his strength was low, his character was weak, and even the mention of him would make him blush, he was of the "golden" bloodline after all. It was neither reasonable nor moral for Marketeer to let him lie there like that.

Oh, by the way, Xiao Ge is not dead yet.

Although only his head was left, he was still alive. It wasn't because Lord's laws were ineffective, but because of other reasons.

"If we don't use the Predestined Death to kill the demigod, it might cause problems with the operation of the law, and it would be very troublesome to fix it later."

This is how Alice explained it, and she also saved Xiao Ge, preventing him from being completely devoured by Lord's strange law, and finally keeping his head.

Lord didn't know what destined death was, but the last two sentences were easy to understand if you replaced the law with the system.

"Instead of shutting down normally, forcibly terminating the process might cause a system bug, right?"

As for the subsequent handling of Xiao Ge, it was naturally handed over to Market.

And it's not just Xiao Ge.

After Xiao Ge's death, the entire city of Stonewell fell into chaos with no leader.

Although Xiao Ge has low strength, a soft personality, and is lucky to have his limbs reattached, he is pretty good to his subordinates. That's why there are still people willing to follow him even though he is such a valuable person.

And now, Xiao Ge only has his head left, and Da Rune has also been taken away. After losing its ruler, let alone the city of Stonewell, if the news gets out, the entire Nimgefu may be in chaos. A new backbone is urgently needed.

So who is this person and who is willing and able to do this job? Needless to say.

"Why are you so sad, old Ma?"

"I--"

When she thought about her original body working overtime in the royal city and now her clone had to work overtime in Nimgufu, Markit's expression was as tense as if she had eaten Lao Ba's secret hamburger.

After a long time, he sighed.

"Do me a favor. There's a Night Rider on the Weeping Peninsula. I'll give you a token. Ask him to come to Nimgefu. Next time you encounter the Night Rider or anyone from Rodel's side, you can show this token. They shouldn't give you any trouble."

This thing was what Markit had intended to give from the beginning, but not for Lord, but to protect his men so that they would not clash with this madman and die.

Classic letter delivery mission, right?

Lord complained in his heart, but did not refuse. He found a blessing and teleported to the place where Markit said, found the "Night Rider", showed the token, explained the matter, and then teleported back.

"Oh, right." As soon as he came back, Market found him: "I forgot to tell you, before you leave, it's best to activate the Great Rune first, otherwise you will have to run back again..."

Lord blinked: "But I've already delivered them."

Market: “…?”

After seeing off Marketeet, who had a subtle look on her face, Lord fell into deep thought again.

Is that all? No way? Even the gatekeeper, Lao Ma, is so powerful. Even if his main character's output is a bit higher, you can't not even have a second stage, right?

"Of course it's not over. Rather, it's just beginning."

A moment after Market left, Alice suddenly appeared and stretched out her hand to him.

"Give me the Great Rune."

"If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself. You know the rules..."

Having said that, Lord still took out the Great Rune and handed it to Alice.

Then, Alice took the Great Rune in her hand, looked at it for a while, then raised her hand. Fine golden sand flowed down from her fingertips, forming strands of silk threads that swirled around the Great Rune, as if exploring the situation or weaving something.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand and the golden light dissipated.

"Go to the Tower of Divine Grant."

Lord didn't know what had happened, but since Alice had told him, he stood up and started walking with her towards the Divine Tower.

This time, because Market was in charge, the two of them were not hindered in their actions in Stonewell City.

However, on the bridge near the Tower of Divine Bestowal, several huge golems that were performing automatic guard duties stood up and attacked the two of them.

But this time, before Lord could cut in and counterattack, Alice raised her hand, still holding the greatsword she had used when she first met Lord.

Then--

boom--

Purple light condensed at the tip of the sword, and after charging for less than a second, it blasted out, piercing through the power reactor on the golem's chest in an instant. After penetrating, it turned back twice, smashing the power reactors of the other two golems as well.

Lord looked at the fallen golem in the distance, then looked at Alice beside him.

"what happened?"

Lord was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"fine."

My goodness, others just secretly change the damage and range at most, but you don’t even bother to act and just start it, right?

What a super god.

After dealing with the golem, the two continued to move forward and after passing through a portal, they arrived at the Nimgfu Tower of Divine Granting.

Enter, light up the blessing, take the elevator up, and then go up the stairs on the left.

After reaching the top, there was something that looked like two human fingers lying there. Even if you didn't recognize this creature, just looking at its broken and shriveled appearance, you could tell that it had been dead for a long time.

But, it's still usable.

After looking at it for a while, Alice walked forward, placed the Great Rune in the center of the dead fingers, raised her hands, and the golden quicksand emerged again.
