Mysterious Powerhouse-He Used to Be Our Teammate

Amelia sat cross-legged on the bed, holding an apple in her hand, looking at her teammates appearing on the projection screen.

Look at your teammate's pure black robe, which exudes a mysterious and dark aura, and that huge black scythe that emits black mist and is taller than your teammate.

His true face was hidden under a large black hat, with two faint red dots visible – those were his teammate's eyes. If he hadn't seen his teammate's appearance hundreds of years ago and helped him complete several challenging bounty missions, he would have been completely unaware of his true identity.

Upon first seeing her teammate, she would probably be unable to resist pulling out her bow and arrow, nocking an arrow, and firing a few shots at him.

In fact, when she saw this teammate again after three hundred years, she immediately drew her bow and arrow, intending to shoot this evil and gloomy fellow. Fortunately, her teammate called out her name in time and told her about some of their past experiences, so she did not accidentally hurt her teammate.

After hundreds of years, my teammates have become more and more outstanding, it's just that Iliya died a little too early.

The Hero Reg opened up a domain and is a demigod.

The Non-Existent Potion Master Lance is actually the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

After Iliya died in battle, she became a Heroic Spirit.

This gloomy, never-smiling guy is Trainee Death God who has made Death God Contract with Hell.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like only she, the elf, is doing a bit badly. Damn it!

If she could sign a contract with the black dragon that appeared in the Red Maple Kingdom, this combination of her and the evil dragon would definitely be worthy of her identity as a member of the [Radiant Sun] team.

"Venus, it's been a long time. Are you in hell? It's all dim and yellow. I can't see anything. Oh, I can see bone spirits and Bone Beast surrounded by ghostly flames, and Skeleton Soldier that look like they just crawled out of their graves. Sigh, I didn't expect you to be dead too. Oh no, for normal humans, death is real death, but for you, death seems like Promotion and Salary Increase."

"I remember you were Trainee Death God Grim Reaper hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years have passed; you should be Level One Death God by now, right? When I die of old age, come and guide me. I'll be your assistant, okay? Watch out, Skeleton Soldier are attacking you!"

The figure in the projection swung a pitch-black scythe, charging at the Skeleton Soldier with a machete, only to be instantly taken away by the black scythe.

"This is not hell, but a place where the undead dwell. I received a bounty to clean up the undead in this area."

"Then be careful. If you can't clear out the undead in that area, you can retreat temporarily. Tell me the coordinates and I'll come and help you."

"Hehe, if the undead in the area you're clearing out are too strong, I can bring a powerful and mysterious expert to assist you in clearing them out."

"A mysterious powerful figure? You mean Leige?"

Amelia, sitting cross-legged on the bed, grinned, took a bite of an apple, and shook her head with a smile, "It's not Leige, it's a powerful person you would never imagine."

"No need. Apart from you and Leige, I must not reveal my identity Trainee Death God to anyone. Besides, I don't need any support right now. If I really need support, I can contact Trainee Death God in other areas."

"No Trainee Death God from other regions are as reliable as us."

"I'll talk to you later after I've cleared out the undead in this area. The battle just now alerted some powerful undead, so I need to get a little more serious."

"Okay, be careful. If you can't win, run away and then contact me. I'll bring some help to support you."

"Um."

After the projection ended, Amelia finished eating the apple in her hand and lay sprawled out on the bed.

I'm a little happy.

The more capable her teammates are, the more powerful her backers become.

When the Hero Reg becomes a god, and she dies of old age, she might be able to go to Leige's place and become an elf angel.

If it's inconvenient for Leige to go, she can go to Venus and become Venus's assistant in Hell.

Venus once said that the Grim Reaper from Hell who signed the apprentice Death God Contract with her was already Tier Two Death God a long time ago.

When she dies of old age, she can become Level One Death God in Hell.

The charlatan Lance, the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, is indeed very powerful, but he probably went to the Heroic Spirit Realm after his death.

Iliya would probably be terrified if she met the conman Lance.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like my teammates all have a chance to [be immortal].

Then why would that conman Lance be making Elixir of Immortality? That doesn't seem right.

The Elixir of Immortality is the dream of the conman Lance, just as her dream is to become Evil Dragon Elf Knight.

Venus, if you can't beat them, don't try to fight them head-on. I was thinking of bringing Lance Lance to help you and show you how powerful this Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor is.

No, my mind is foggy. I'm going to sleep. It must be that the message from that liar Lance really shocked her and took a lot of her energy. I need to sleep to recover.

While fast asleep, Lance sensed someone praying to him, asking him to descend.

While sleeping soundly, Lance unconsciously detached a part of his consciousness to respond to the person who was praying to him.

If someone faces a life-threatening crisis, offer sincere prayers and help if you can. You only have three chances; after that, praying won't help. Things don't happen more than three times.

Instead of seeking the Sword Ancestor, it's better to focus on improving yourself.

Without self-help and ambition, even praying to God is useless. (Somewhere in the human world.)

Venus stood in the canyon shrouded in a hazy, yellow mist, looking at the undead not far ahead, kneeling on the ground, praying to a statue whose face was obscured.

These undead are quite intelligent; they know to pray to the mysterious and evil statue. But will it be of any use? Venus put away her Death God Scythe and took out her Dark Scepter. A phrase came to her mind. "Even a lion fights a rabbit with all its might." She raised her Dark Scepter: "In the name of hell, I condemn you."

A massive, pure black magic circle instantly appeared above the undead in front of them, and the dim yellow mist was swept away by the pure black.

A pure black beam of light erupted from the magic circle and shot towards the ground.

Just as the pure black pillar of light was about to engulf the kneeling undead, the statue suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light.

A golden finger blocked the pure black beam of light.

Which statue is it?

"Broken."

A beam of golden light pierced through the pure black pillar of light, creating countless golden cracks. The next moment, the pure black pillar of light, along with the pure black magic array, instantly disintegrated.

The moment the pure black magic circle shattered, Venus wielded her jet-black Death God Scythe, flew swiftly to the statue, and swung it horizontally.

As if sensing an attack, the statue raised its right hand and unleashed a golden sword aura imbued with sword intent towards Venus.

Venus hurriedly retracted the Death God Scythe swung and used it to Death God Scythe.

boom--

She was directly slashed away by the golden sword energy containing sword intent, flying more than ten or twenty meters away.

I felt a moment of mental confusion.

A Golden Great Sun fell directly into her spiritual world.

Shaking her head, she glanced at the statue, and without hesitation, Venus turned and left.

The first attempt to clear the undead from this area failed.

Go back and ask for help.

stable.

Seek victory through stability.

A temporary setback is not a failure.

This was said by Potion Master a thousand years ago.

Taking risks and being radical is not always a sign of courage; it can also be foolish.

A thousand years ago, she scoffed at the Potion Master's Potion Master, but now she regards them as gospel truth.

Where did the Potion Master sacrificed himself go?

He is not in hell.

Having signed Death God Contract Reaper of Hell as an apprentice Potion Master, but failed.

They might have gone to the Heroic Spirit Realm, or they might have gone to heaven, or they might have been reincarnated a long time ago.

Occasionally, she would think of the Potion Master.

Like now.

If the Potion Master were here, her traumatized mind could be healed with just one or a few bowls of extraordinary potions for treating mental trauma.

Why would the undead in this area pray to a statue that doesn't look evil? Golden sword energy. A falling Golden Great Sun. The information the Grim Reaper gave her wasn't comprehensive enough.

Let's leave here first.

Once we get back, we'll decide whether to ask Amelia for help or seek help from the Trainee Death God Reapers in the nearby area.

If you're Trainee Death God Reaper for help, it's best to bring some bounty money with you.

The ghostly green flames in the eye sockets of the undead kneeling on the ground praying to the statue of the "adult" stopped flickering when they saw the Holy Sword emanating from the statue.

What... what happened?

Why did the person they summoned last time respond to their summons, but instead became a sword-wielding deity of the Light faction?

The undead, realizing what had happened, knelt on the ground, trembling.

If this sword-wielding deity discovers them, they might as well die under the scythe of that Grim Reaper. Shattering the darkness and repelling the attacker, a consciousness descended upon the statue. Lance then realized that the one calling for his help wasn't the human swordsman who worshipped the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, but rather a somewhat familiar-looking undead. He glanced at the dim surroundings and remembered—wasn't this the place where those human children had encountered danger last time? The undead praying to him and calling for his help seemed to be the same undead who had carried his statue and cleared a path for him last time.

The guy who was knocked back by his sword just now seems to be a Trainee Death God. He messed up his own team by sending them away.

It's not his fault. He had just arrived here when a pure black beam of light appeared directly above his head, shattering the darkness. Before he could even understand what was happening, the Trainee Death God Reaper wielded his Death God Scythe to reap him. He instinctively fought back.

Also thinking of protecting the human swordsman who summoned him, he swung his sword. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the familiar Death God Scythe.

Upon seeing the Death God Scythe, he was about to reach out and say "Misunderstanding," but the Trainee Death God turned and left without hesitation. He couldn't be blamed for that.

He was fast asleep when he had no idea that the people praying to him and calling for his help would be a few dead spirits he had only met once.

I saw several undead kneeling on the ground, trembling.

He could roughly guess why the Trainee Death God had appeared in this area.

Cleanse this area of the undead.

The Netherworld.

It's like a piece of dog skin plaster, smaller than hell, but it has more Evil Spirit than hell. All sorts of unruly demons and monsters live in the underworld.

In many corners of the mainland, there exist all sorts of undead spirits, and the duties of Trainee Death God include guiding souls to hell.

They are also responsible for helping Hell clean up and eliminate some of the undead that are causing trouble in the human world.

In areas like this, there are quite a few undead.

This attracted the attention of Hell, who then sent Trainee Death God to cleanse the area of undead.

Next time you encounter humans dressed like that, don't resist, just surrender.

Since he has some connection with these undead, he'll show them the way.

After leaving a message, Lance went back.

The statue cracked the moment the golden light faded.

The undead kneeling on the ground sensed the disappearance of the [deity] and began to kowtow to the statue again.

They remembered what the gods had said, and the next time they encountered humans dressed like that, they didn't resist, but surrendered immediately.

"Next time we meet, shall we surrender?"

"Surrender. You'll be taken to hell."

"How about we go and seek refuge with another undead master?"

"This suggestion is worth considering."

Amelia was woken up by the sound of a projector communication. Still half asleep, she was about to complain when she suddenly woke up when she remembered that she had spoken with her gloomy teammate before going to sleep.

She got up, quickly grabbed the projector phone from the bedside table, and clicked "agree".

It must be a projection initiated by Venus. If she encounters danger, she needs to call on the conman Lance to quickly go and support Venus.

It's Venus!

On the projection screen, Venus removed her hat; her face was pale, and her crimson eyes held neither joy nor sorrow.

"Are you injured?"

"I was a little shaken up mentally, but I'm much better now."

"Your bounty mission failed?"

"You could say that. I didn't expect the necromancers in that area to be able to summon unknown beings. That being was quite powerful; it broke through my attack with a single blow."

If I weren't playing it safe, I think I could take down that statue, but there's no need. I have teammates and colleagues; there's no need to take the risk.

The Venus in the projection is sitting in a chair, with a glass of water on the table next to her.

She hadn't originally intended to contact Amelia, but after returning home and calming down, she suddenly remembered that Amelia had contacted her before and said that if she needed support, she would bring a mysterious and powerful person to assist her.

That mysterious powerful figure certainly couldn't be the Hero Reg.

She suspected it was Iliya.

The only powerful individuals Amelia could trust wholeheartedly were the members of their [Radiant Sun] squad.

If Iliya, now a Heroic Spirit, could be summoned by Amelia, with their assistance, she could easily clear out the undead in that area.

Those undead couldn't possibly summon that unknown being so easily.

"It's good that you're alright. So, you're contacting me now because you want me to come and help you?"

"First tell me who this mysterious powerhouse you're talking about is. If it's Iliya, I'll send you the coordinates, and you can come and help me out. Once I complete this bounty mission, I'll give you some Hellish Psychic Gold Coin."

Iliya? How can Iliya be considered a mysterious powerhouse? Well, the Heroic Spirit Iliya does have a bit of a mysterious aura.

"It's not Iliya."

"Never mind then, I'll find Trainee Death God in the nearby area to assist me."

"Hey, don't rush to refuse! Let me tell you something important first: he used to be our teammate!"

"???"
