Chapter 313: Seeing Bone

~7 min read 1,310 words

"Damn it, if it weren't for the Evernight Church..." Jiedeer looked at the complex of buildings with a grim expression.

The God of War Church and the Evernight Church have always been hostile, and this place is much closer to Loen than to Feysac, so the God of War Church did not dare to send a large number of personnel here.

If the Evernight Church discovered their intentions, it would certainly trigger a conflict between the two churches.

Fortunately, the Evernight Church is currently actively responding to the Dream Sect's encirclement and suppression of the Blood Sect, so their guard against the God of War Church has dropped by a notch.

This Angel's height suddenly shot up by several dozen centimeters, almost becoming a three-meter Giant, the Dawn Armor on his body gradually condensed into a suit of armor, and he also pulled a Twilight Giant Sword out of thin air in his hand.

Those God of War Church Bishops and priests who were not even Sequence 4 had all entered from the outside; the Angel Blessing on their bodies allowed them to adapt to the harsh environment of this world, but to put it bluntly, Jiedeer bringing them in was likely for a blood sacrifice.

This is Reality, and these Bishops and priests were unable to resist.

After all, according to the Divine Oracle of the "God of War," they must obtain the things inside here at any cost!

Jiedeer guessed that if it weren't for the fact that the Evernight Goddess could also perform a divine descent, the one who would have come here would have been the "God of War," who had not performed a divine descent for over a thousand years!

"Follow me!" A storm seemed to form around the Twilight Giant Sword in Jiedeer's hand, sweeping away all breaths harmful to them, as he led the group to quickly approach that complex of buildings.

"Crack!" Jiedeer, wearing the Dawn Armor, pushed open the great gate with the Twilight Giant Sword in his hand.

The gate pushed open slowly, and the things inside were revealed before everyone's eyes.

Hiss!

Some in the God of War Church could not suppress the shock in their hearts and made sounds.

"How is this possible?!"

Even Jiedeer's pupils constricted, because inside the gate was a neatly equipped army of skeletons!

The space within the building complex was unusually vast, and now this entire space was crowded with skeletal soldiers, forming an army.

"Since the Medici Family left this place, has there been any large-scale war here?" Jiedeer asked the Bishop.

"No!" the Bishop replied quickly.

"Then is the burial custom here cremation or earth burial?"

"It is earth burial!"

Jiedeer's eyes narrowed beneath his armor; that at least could explain that these skeletons might be the deceased residents of Bansi.

What one fears most at a time like this is actually something appearing out of thin air.

"I'll go in first!" Jiedeer made a decision after watching for half a minute; he did not feel a fatal threat from these skeletal armies.

He took a large stride forward and walked directly into the gate.

Step!

The moment the armored boots landed, all the skeletons moved violently.

In this instant, some kind of pale flame burned in the empty eye sockets of all the skeletons.

"Scram!" The black, strange patterns on Jiedeer's body pulsed as if they had a life of their own; in this instant, the skeletal army that had just begun to move seemed to get stuck.

Those pale flames also flickered violently.

But it did not last long; in just two seconds, the army composed of skeletons broke free from some kind of restriction and began to surround this Angel.

These skeletons did not have any Beyonder Characteristic; they might have just been ordinary residents of Bansi during their lifetimes.

It was just that when these skeletons began to charge, they formed a whole, and some kind of extremely sharp and death-heavy aura began to condense, pointing directly at the Angel!

"The characteristics of the 'Red Priest' Pathway..." Facing the army of skeletons and the terrifying aura that could be vaguely sensed, this "Honorary Angel" did not dare to be negligent and attacked with all his might.

The Twilight Giant Sword slammed into the ground, and spots of light condensed throughout the entire space; they rotated, turning into a storm, tearing apart all obstacles.

"Light Storm"!

This is an ability mastered by the "Warrior" Pathway at Sequence 6 "Dawn Knight," and now that it was used by an Angel, it was even more terrifying.

The blades formed by light turned into a storm, tearing through this skeletal army, becoming an orange-red storm capable of destroying a wasteland.

"Kill!" This Angel glared with rage, the Dawn gradually turning toward Twilight, carrying the aura of Decay for all things.

This skeletal army looked horrifying and indeed carried some kind of indescribable power, but under the all-out slaughter of an Angel, the result was already determined.

The orange-red storm raged in this complex of buildings, but it did not damage the buildings left behind by the Medici Family, merely sweeping those skeletons away completely.

That this complex of buildings could remain immortal for a thousand years was already an incredible thing; it was highly likely part of some kind of Seal.

The storm gradually subsided, and that skeletal army turned into ashes filling the sky before the Angel, not a single bone left.

"Enter!" Jiedeer continued forward, and the God of War Church behind him followed.

Chumen and Amanises ignored the resistance of the telegraph office owner and forced their way into the room.

And Chumen's action of closing the door even used the corresponding "Door" Authority, which could be considered as completely locking off all possibilities of escape.

Chumen clapped his hands lightly and looked at the two "people" who had just been talking to him, assuming they could still be called "people."

Their heads had already vanished, the cuts on their necks were very smooth, and it could be seen that the two must have died quite painlessly.

The yellow pus flowing from the headless corpses also proved that these two corpses had likely been dead for quite some time.

And behind these two corpses, the main building of the telegraph office had already been eroded by some kind of aura, completely turning into the color of black Iron, like a steel fortress.

The two continued forward, and after entering the coverage area of that aura, their figures became increasingly faint in the air, until they disappeared.

This was a "weakness" opened up by the "City of Calamity," bypassing the Seal created by Chumen using the Death Uniqueness.

As the Doomsday approaches, not only is the erosion of the Outer Gods intensifying, but these Source Qualities are also anxious.

Many Source Qualities likely have a certain degree of intelligence; they also want to obtain the characteristics of the corresponding Pathway to support the true "Oldest One" status, and only in this way will they not be swallowed by those Outer Gods.

In the blink of an eye, Chumen and Amanises had already appeared in that strange world and saw the complex of buildings left behind by the Medici Family.

Chumen's gaze looked at the floating ashes, his mouth twitched, and he commented unceremoniously, "Stupid! Brainless just like Badehaier!"

That skeletal army was clearly created by the Death Uniqueness and even belonged to a part of the Seal; now it had actually been completely destroyed by that Angel—this is someone who isn't afraid of death!

"Isn't such an enemy quite good?" Amanises was about to see the Death Uniqueness she had been thinking about for thousands of years, so she was in an excellent mood, her humanity bursting forth, and she spoke a teasing remark.

"Hm? Seems like that's right."
