Chapter 42: Betrayal, be straightforward!

It's good that you don't have such foolish and childish ideas.

After all, I once promised someone a complete sheep's life.

But he refuses to believe it.

So that guy didn't die peacefully!

Sheep life?

In a vague moment, Ta Ni Lu recalled the recent "Eden Gladstone" who had turned into a sheep and died miserably.

Could there be some connection?

By this time, Ta Ke had already come to the window.

Outside, the dimension of the Undead Realm had already begun to take shape.

Vast numbers of skeletons, zombies, undead, and wraiths lay in wait.

Ta Ke raised his hand and slapped the glass window.

The glass, attuned to the Source Energy Bulwark, rippled slightly like water.

The light ring formed by the Spear of Shaped Light expanded rapidly, like the bloody halo on the outskirts of the Ashen Day.

"So... everything Raymond just said was true; there really is a light ring."

"But how could a Shadow Wizard possibly master light?"

Ta Ni Lu felt some regret, but it was already too late.

Ta Ke looked at Ta Ni Lu.

"Since you no longer hold any expectations, then throw those two out!"

"After all, if a mutation occurs here, dealing with the Dark Day Dusk Knight will still be somewhat troublesome."

Ta Ni Lu thought his complexion must look terrible right now.

"This demon!"

Ta Ni Lu cursed in his heart.

To have to strangle one's last hope with one's own hands—what else is that if not a demon?

But Ta Ni Lu had to do it.

When Ta Ni Lu threw the first sheep out through the large gap formed by the light ring,

"Baa baa baa..."

The sheep was bellowing loudly.

But it was quickly dragged by a horde of undead creatures into the Undead Realm.

There, even if mutations arose from the power of corruption, they were already useless.

No corruption cannot be cleansed by death.

If there were, it would only die again.

When he threw the second sheep out,

Ta Ni Lu silently chanted: "Raymond, Dave, if you die and become undead knights seeking revenge, don't come after me."

"If you're going to look for someone, find that damned Shadow Wizard."

With that thought, Ta Ni Lu blinked slightly.

Hmm... the undead knight goes to find the "Shadow Wizard" who walks with death and darkness.

It seems, he can't exact revenge either.

Moreover, that guy is himself cursed by shadow; shadow creatures will always come after him.

More importantly, that Shadow Wizard's methods are extremely brutal; even a demon would likely get two slaps from him.

"Hmm... you two... just rest in peace!"

"Perhaps this is a better resting place!"

When Ta Ni Lu came to his senses,

there was now an extra person in the room.

It was an Undead Wizard shrouded in death and darkness, standing beside the hall's sofa.

And the Shadow Wizard rudely sat on the sofa near the fireplace, even tossing wood into the hearth.

That feeling was nothing like being in a place of slaughter; instead, it felt like returning home.

"Tell me everything you know about the Dark Day Church, in full detail."

"Some things can be said, but others cannot be spoken of, not even mentioned."

"Otherwise, not only will I have trouble, but you who hear the content and information will also have trouble."

At this point, Ta Ni Lu also became serious.

Joining the Evil God Organization is not that simple.

Those core members will not reveal too much information before they have deeply embraced the Dark Day.

Fortunately, Ta Ni Lu possesses the special Night Priest ability 【Redemption】, which can continually save his soul, combined with his wizardly talent 【Purification】.

He also, without realizing it, gradually came close to the core position.

But the more this happened, the clearer Ta Ni Lu became of the terror and horror of the Dark Day Church.

It was like a tea gathering by a winter fireplace.

Ta Ni Lu organized his language and began to narrate step by step.

When encountering details that needed to be explained,

Ta Ke would have the other party elaborate.

As Ta Ni Lu's narration proceeded,

Āmàndì also finally truly understood.

In the Ashen Wasteland, why does the Dark Sun Church dare to be so rampant?

"In the depths of the Ashen Wasteland, those sunken city-states all have towering Dark Sun altars."

"Dark Sun power rises there."

"Whether it is the ashen day shining or the cold light of the ashen moon."

"Dark Sun turns all power into Dark Sun ecosystem power, supplying it for countless believers to absorb."

"There, everyone holds supreme faith in Dark Sun. Everyone selflessly dedicates themselves until the end of their lives."

"Even…… the contaminated people there will spontaneously pair up and reproduce."

"And the offspring…… you should know what that is."

"Fallen Humans!" Tǎkè said lightly.

"A lifeform born of faith, a twisted fermented entity."

"Yes."

Dark Night Priest Tǎnílǔ nodded.

"That is the Ashen Wasteland city-states, opposing the Fallen Humans."

"Is this how Fallen Humans come to be?"

Beside him, Āmàndì was shocked but still remembered Tǎkè's words and remained silent.

Fallen Humans.

A kind of human species, they have night vision, strong physiques, and run like the wind.

They wield the not-inferior Extraordinary Sequence 【Dark Sun】.

They live for Dark Sun, and die for Dark Sun.

"When are they preparing to attack?"

Tǎkè asked.

"I don't know!"

Tǎnílǔ spoke very bluntly.

Also don't know if he doesn't know or…… cannot say.

Tǎkè pondered briefly, then spoke.

"What impact did the death of the Hunter Guild Leader have, with the altar's energy sacrificed?"

Tǎkè's words struck Tǎnílǔ's heart like a heavy blow.

"As expected, it was this demon who did it!"

Taking a deep breath, Tǎnílǔ then spoke.

"It has delayed that genius's promotion ceremony by a lot."

"Hmm…… that means……"

Tǎkè pondered his words as he spoke.

"The attack should also have been delayed considerably, right?!"

Tǎnílǔ neither affirmed nor denied.

What Tǎkè saw was silent consent!

"When will the old wizard beside that A-rank genius leave?!"

Tǎkè's words not only startled Tǎnílǔ.

It also made Amanti feel Tǎkè's terror.

"He…… how does he know everything?!"

"You…… how do you know?!"

Tǎnílǔ's voice was a little hoarse.

"I not only know that old wizard, but I also know who the A-rank Dark Sun Church genius is, and I also know he lives in the fortress area, uh…… the altar is also there."

"Right?!"

"Moreover, there is backup at the High Tower."

"Although I don't know which big figure betrayed La Mo'er."

"But after obtaining the data and examining it closely, I have already found some clues."

"By the way, I think the true location where the ceremony opens is——the High Tower!"

Tǎkè's exposition.

It made Tǎnílǔ's ears ring and his mind go blank.

Damn it!

Could he also be a core member of the Dark Sun Church?

What does it mean that he told me all this?

Does he not want to leave any witnesses?

Countless thoughts surged in Tǎnílǔ's heart.

"Since he has betrayed, then…… he should betray more decisively."

Tǎkè examined Tǎnílǔ, keeping his hand on Tǎnílǔ's shoulder.

"You say……"

Spirit Touch, Sheep Transformation, Regression, Shape-shifting!

The witchcraft linkage, done in one go.

The dark shadow-gray mist dispersed.

A face emerged from within.

That was none other than Tani Lu himself.

Then, the demon-like 'Tani Lu' laughed ferociously.

"Dark Night Priest Tani Lu, infiltrated the evil god organization, slew an A-rank evil god organization genius, detonated the altar, sabotaged the evil god organization's plan!"

"This script! How is it?"
