The Wish-Fulfilling Divine Staff and Small but Mighty
"Hint: The appearance of the ' Blood Crow Lord's Head ' has triggered a dimensional anomaly."
"Target successfully locked on! Congratulations, you have become one of the protagonists of the major event 'The Death of the Blood Crow' in the Between Purgatory."
On the outpost platform.
Roger was dumbfounded!
Looking at Chesia's beautiful face, which was streaked with tears yet filled with deep affection.
He really wanted to blurt out, "Who gave you permission to steal my monster?"
That moment.
He was furious! This was the first time he had felt such regret since he had transmigrated!
"Why..."
"Am I going to have a seizure and open that diary?"
Thinking this way.
Roger was consumed by deep self-reproach!
Compared to Roger's intense self-blame.
The reactions of the others were much more intense!
A gasp of surprise.
Screams.
Angri shouts...
A variety of voices erupted fiercely within the army of demons.
They were all too familiar with that extremely evil aura! Between Purgatory.
Only the Blood Crow Lord possesses such a pure and Evil Nature! Hades nearly popped his goat eyes out of their sockets. "Are you insane?"
What did you do?
"You... how did you do that! I'm so damn happy!"
The other high-ranking demons also could not accept the fact that Chesia had killed the Blood Crow Lord.
In their bloodline imprint.
The Blood Crow Lord is supreme and invincible! At least in this Between Purgatory.
No one can kill him.
This belief was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the demons, who were completely unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes! Some of the demons began to show signs of madness!
A violent chaos erupted from the demon army.
This time.
Let alone attacking.
They're barely holding onto their own formation!
"The morale of the demon army has collapsed; the second wave of attack will not be able to be successfully organized..."
"Tower Defense Mode may be turned off at any time..."
"Damn it!"
"My Constitution Shard!"
Roger suddenly clutched his head with both hands!
He looked at Chesia in disbelief—
He never expected this.
My small experiment had such a big impact! If it weren't for the 1000-meter limit.
Roger wanted nothing more than to rush out and kill this woman! "No..."
"What on earth is going on?!"
Roger suddenly became withdrawn.
The regret welling up in his heart grew stronger—
He vaguely remembered.
I regretted it this much last time.
It goes back to just over ten seconds ago.
"I have to do something..."
Roger realized he needed to intervene.
The devils are about to lose their minds!
only...
What can he do?
Instantly killing Chesia? Blood Crow's death is a foregone conclusion. The demons' faith has collapsed, and it won't be easy for them to recover their strength in a short time!
Do I have to give the enemy a pep talk?
This time.
No matter how fast Roger's thoughts raced.
He also felt caught in a dilemma.
Fortunately, just at this critical moment...
Northern Devil Hades, stepped forward once again! But then his eyes darted around.
He then shouted in a deep voice, "As expected of a cunning Eastern Devil, daring to use such illusions to deceive the army? Even I almost fell for it!"
"Attention everyone! Don't be fooled by that woman's tricks! She has been turned by the Wilderness God and no longer belongs to the glorious Purgatory faction!"
"Everything you've seen about her is a lie!"
It has to be said.
Hades held a very high position of prestige among the demon army.
Although this is pure nonsense.
Even the devils could sense the Evil Nature emanating from that severed head—
But Hades ' words were like a straw offered to a dying man.
That instant.
Most devils subconsciously choose to believe his words! But those who don't believe him for the time being.
He also tried to convince himself that "Lord Blood Crow couldn't possibly be dead," "this is just an illusion created by the enemy," and "Lord Hades has always been brave and resourceful, and his judgment is bound to be correct"...
Gradually.
The morale of the demon army was barely stabilized.
"Tower Defense Mode: The second wave of attack is coming soon, please be prepared."
On the platform.
Roger listened to Hades's series of admonitions and nodded involuntarily.
Hades spoke each sentence.
He couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.
In the end.
Hades said:
"Traitors must die!"
"But that happened after we breached the Cage Mountain Camp."
"What we need to do now is take down this new Wilderness God! Everyone, charge!"
That moment.
Roger couldn't help but clap his hands loudly:
"That's absolutely right!"
The voice clearly reached the ears of the four demons and the two deserters Wilderness God.
Their expressions involuntarily turned strange.
Especially Chesia.
She looked like she wanted to say something more.
Fearing that this woman would ruin his plans again, Roger quickly came up with a clever idea and Sound Transmission into the Secret:
"Don't speak yet!"
In Roger's view
Since Chesia is already under a curse, this request shouldn't be too much, and she'll definitely grant it...
However, to his utter surprise,
These words were spoken.
Chesia suddenly became incredibly excited.
She glared at Roger with her big, watery eyes and screamed hysterically, "No way!"
I'm going to say it!
"I'm going crazy from holding it in!"
Do you know how much pain I'm in?
"I think about you every single day since we parted!"
"No..."
"Not every day, but every minute and every second!"
"It felt like a million ants were constantly crawling and biting my heart!"
"That was the biggest nightmare of my life..."
Speaking of which...
Chesia's tear-stained face showed deep fear and apprehension.
She clutched her chest with her right hand.
The high-pitched voice lowered slightly. "I know you must have done something to me, but I couldn't resist..."
"I hate you terribly, utterly."
"But I still fell 100% in love with you."
A deep struggle and sorrow flashed in Chesia's eyes.
She paused, her voice becoming even softer, but her tone more resolute. "If I cannot have you, I would rather die like this!"
"I know you won't accept me willingly, but don't worry, I've found a solution—"
"As long as I become the new Blood Crow..."
"There will be no more barriers between us."
As he spoke.
She looked at Roger with that same affectionate gaze again.
at the same time.
A howling, swirling "Purgatory Gale" appeared around her! Under the gale.
It was a turbid spring gushing forth the Purgatory Incantation! At that moment.
All the demons realized what had happened! Faintly, through the howling wind.
Everyone saw Chesia holding up the Blood Crow Head in her hands.
Then, smiling, she ate it bite by bite.
A profound silence fell over the world.
All that remained was the sound of chewing chicken cartilage.
In just three seconds.
She gnawed the Blood Crow Lord's head clean.
Chesia smiled and touched the brain matter at the corner of her mouth, glancing at Roger with some reluctance.
Then she slowly closed her eyes.
The Purgatory Gale solidified into a tangible form.
Apart from Roger.
No one could see what was happening inside anymore! Under Roger's watchful gaze.
Chesia's tiny wings slowly unfurled, barely covering her chest. The next second, everything on her body was utterly torn apart by the gushing forth Evil Nature! Countless Purgatory Incantation emerged from her side.
They intertwined into beautiful yet sinister ribbons.
From this moment on.
No one can get close to her anymore!
That was the power of the laws of purgatory protecting her!...
"Insight: You have detected that the Eastern Devil Chechnya has devoured the Blood Crow's head and is currently undergoing an ' Ascension Ritual '..."
"Sixth Sense: You realize that Chesia's Ascension Ritual is likely to fail, but she may still have the potential to master the most powerful forces in the Between Purgatory '."
"A crazy woman..."
Roger silently shook his head, a chill running through him.
That diary was indeed incredibly eerie!
Now that things have come to this...
There's really not much more he can do.
The demon army's offensive desires have been completely crushed by Chesia's promotion ceremony.
Apart from those few high-ranking devils.
The rest of the people knelt down and worshipped in the direction of the Purgatory Gale.
They all knew it in their hearts.
Regardless of whether Chesia succeeds or fails in her promotion, the top spot in the Purgatory faction will undoubtedly belong to this woman.
Although the facts are so absurd as to be unacceptable.
But the era of the Blood Crow is coming to an end.
Before the "Purgatory Gale" and the "Incantation Spring," which symbolize the birth of a lord-level demon.
All the devils chose to obey.
The devil is such a creature.
The fundamental reason why Xuewu's death had such a huge impact on them was the loss of their most important leader.
But once a new leader emerges.
They will find their way back to obedience.
This is the instinct etched into the genes of creatures from purgatory!...
"Constitution Shard..."
Gazing at the demon army that had completely lost its will to fight.
Roger sighed deeply.
"Is this the price of the curse?"
He seemed to have grasped a mysterious and elusive feeling.
It was at this moment.
Roger suddenly noticed that the warning about the second wave of attack on the data panel had not been withdrawn!
"Um?"
A strong killing intent surged through my Sixth Sense! The next second...
Roger then realized what was happening!
It's Hades and his men!
Within the Purgatory system, Hades and his companions possess similar ranks to Chesia.
Before Chesia's official promotion.
They still have the ability to act independently!
As expected.
But Hades shouted sternly:
"Don't you understand yet? That man cursed Chesia!"
"As long as we kill that man!"
"That bitch will definitely fail to advance due to a mental breakdown! Then we'll all have a chance to become the masters of the Between Purgatory!"
These words were spoken.
Western Devil Balun was the first to second the proposal:
"As expected of Hades, who is both wise and brave! I just thought of that too!"
"We still have a chance to turn things around!"
East and west sides.
The sika deer and the brown bear silently walked away.
They are deserters from the Wilderness Temple, and whoever becomes the leader of Purgatory will not affect their status.
Now that Blood Crow is dead, they naturally have no need to assist in the attack.
"Hmph! The three of us are enough!"
Hades roared furiously:
"Let's all attack together and take him down..."
As they talked...
His confident voice suddenly stopped.
But on the platform of the outpost, one can see.
A ghostly black light flashed.
A short figure appeared beside Roger—
That's Southern Devil Medier! She looked at Roger with disdain and said in an unfriendly tone:
"Let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not trying to help you."
"I was just certain that woman would fail to get promoted."
"I really enjoyed seeing her make such a fool of herself just now... No matter what methods you used to make her fall in love with you, I hope you can keep her hanging on... Hehe..."
"So, I'm on your side now."
"Warning: The second wave of attack has officially begun..."
"Hint: The Southern Devil Medier is trying to join your party..."
"Roll!"
Faced with Medier's betrayal.
Roger's reply consisted of only one word!
He finally got Hades ' assist, and this little dwarf wants to scare him away? Roger can't stand this kind of humiliation!
The next second.
His figure disappeared from the spot.
Immediately afterwards.
A strong, Shiba Inu-headed figure in martial arts attire quietly appeared!
"Notification: By consuming 1 drop of basic divine oil, you have used ' Extracorporeal Avatar: Yellow Beard Daoist,' and your level has reached Level 100 (temporary/ Sub-Plane restriction)."
"You have gained a rank of: Stick 0.49"
"Data panel loading..."
"You have acquired the 'Master of Staffs' feat (click to view details)"
"You have mastered martial arts: Zen Meditation Staff Technique, Daoist Rhythm Staff Technique, Heaven-Opening Staff Technique, Sea-Stabilizing Staff Technique, Watermelon Staff Technique, Returning Heaven Palm, Qi-Stabilizing Wave..."
"You have mastered the Dharma Form: the Monster Heavenly Body."
A dense stream of information flashed before Roger's eyes.
He didn't have time to look at much, he just casually plucked a hair from his arm and then blew on it in an imitation!
The next second.
Under the impact of the vast spiritual energy within the Shiba Inu Daoist's body.
That single hair swelled up as soon as it was exposed to the wind! It became thick and stiff!
"You have obtained the ' Wishful Thinking Cudgel '."
"The Wishful Thinking Cudgel (Stick/Extraordinary)"
Texture 11, Hardness 18, Blunt Scratch 16, Durability 10
"Special Effect (Unique): Each attack has a 40% chance to stun."
"Take this!"
On the platform.
Seeing that Medier was still standing there, refusing to leave.
Roger simply swung his long staff down! A muffled thud followed! Medier was knocked unconscious! She never expected the enemy to refuse her help—
Not only that.
The other person even retaliated by hitting him with a stick! What kind of person would do such a thing? Medier felt his sanity beginning to crumble.
The next second.
A wave of dizziness and darkness washed over me.
"Not good!"
Medier stumbled and dodged twice on the platform.
Her extraordinary bloodline resistance allowed her to withstand the damage from the first blow.
But the dizziness effect was achieved.
Roger has no mercy for women!
He knew it very well.
These demons were absolutely ruthless when facing the human camp; he still can't forget the corpses he saw near the Ancient Temple! Therefore...
He would never hesitate to hunt down a demon when given the chance!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Roger's wrist trembled violently.
In a short time.
The stick flashed like lightning.
To Roger's surprise...
After the Wishful Thinking Cudgel struck the object dozens of times with great force.
Medier's head was smashed by him! You know.
He's a Level 100 powerhouse now!
He had a significant advantage over these level 89 demons! "Is this guy too tanky, or is my staff not good enough?"
He was somewhat puzzled.
On the data panel.
"You killed the Southern Devil Medier (a dwarf king/elite demon/source of drought...)"
"Extermination Order reward successfully obtained. You have acquired Medier's specialty: Short and Powerful."
"Short and Powerful (Bloodline Specialty): You have the ability to adjust your height once a month, with a maximum adjustment range of 20%."
When you choose to adjust your height downwards, you will gain additional stamina and increased damage saving abilities; the shorter you are, the stronger the boosts will be.
When you choose to increase your height, you will gain additional stamina and a reduction in damage saving throws; the taller you are, the more severe the reduction.
Current minimum height: 1.44 meters; can increase stamina by 160%;
It can increase damage saving ability by 100%.
"So she wasn't born short..."
See here.
Roger suddenly realized.
The next second.
He gripped the stick tightly.
They turned their gaze toward Hades and Balun, who were approaching!
"Taking them out should complete the second wave."
"As for whether there will be a third wave, that depends on fate!"
At this critical juncture.
Roger knew he couldn't be too petty.
Although the Constitution Shard are tempting.
But in the end, it was his own doing that caused the mess.
He could only clean up his mess first.
He didn't hesitate at that moment.
Nourished by the divine oil, the Yellow Beard Daoist's body was filled with spiritual energy that Roger envied immensely—he stomped his foot, and a gust of wind instantly rose from beneath his feet, propelling him towards the two demons! "This is true ' Ride the Wind '!"
Roger inwardly felt a surge of satisfaction, raising his club high, ready to strike at any moment!...
But Roger was coming on strong.
Hades and Balun did not back down.
They witnessed firsthand how the other side brutally beat Medier to death, and they also realized that even if they surrendered, they probably wouldn't get Roger's forgiveness!
At that moment.
The Greater Devil exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and their figures suddenly became ethereal!
Whoosh! Their figures transformed into two streaks of black wind, passing Roger!
Roger looked closely.
Those two black winds looked exactly like the "Purgatory Gale" surrounding Chesia! Only they were much weaker in terms of power!
"Such a strong Evil Nature..."
Roger's heart skipped a beat. "What are these two up to?"
"Even purgatory has its own two-person comedy routine?"
On the sea.
The two black winds swirled and intertwined, drawing strange Purgatory Incantation around the outpost!
His Sixth Sense told him.
These Greater Devil were doing something that posed a great threat to him! But Roger, unusually, hesitated for a moment during the battle—
In his memory.
Hades seems to only provide assists...
Should we trust him this time?
But the next second...
Roger realized this in time—
Don't let greed blind you! The enemy must always be eliminated first!
He immediately roared.
He flew past, riding the wind!
However, Hades and Balun's Black Wind Flight Speed was not slow either! Just as Roger hesitated for a moment...
They have completed most of the steps in setting up their Assassin card!
During the chase.
Out of the corner of his eye, Roger saw a huge Purgatory Incantation rising from the sea!
That moment.
His eyelids twitched violently!...
"Hint: You have encountered the Purgatory Incantation 'Seasonal Change'."
"Warning: The current season has changed to ' Strong Blood Crow Season,' and your strength has been reduced by 30%!"
"Warning: The current season has changed to ' Extremely Evil Blood Crow Season,' and your strength has been reduced by 50%."
The world seemed to change color in an instant.
The striking red and black hues stained Roger's eyes.
In a flash.
A gust of black wind rushed past him from behind! Roger dodged in time, and then delivered another blow with his stick.
Unfortunately, the stick missed its target.
This time, the Western Devil Balun displayed astonishing speed!
Its movements are just like those of a Ni Qiu, making it unpredictable.
In fact.
If it weren't for the Yellow Beard Daoist's remarkable senses, he would have been caught off guard by Balun's sneak attack! "The ability to fast-forward through seasons, is that their trump card?"
"He's definitely gotten much stronger..."
Roger solemnly changed his grip on the stick, focusing on defense for the time being—a 50% shift in power was no joke! He calmly observed his surroundings.
Within sight.
All that could be seen were mottled, ghostly shadows of red and black.
Inside and outside the ears.
Only the noisy, clamorous wails of the hellish ghosts could be heard.
Roger immediately realized that not only had his strength been weakened, but his surroundings had also become very unfriendly!
now.
Faced with the combined forces of Ha and Ba.
He has to be extremely cautious!
The next second.
He held the long stick flat in front of his chest.
The dog's ears twitched slightly.
I began to use all my strength to perceive everything around me.
"Hehehe..."
Hades ' eerie laughter echoed from the shadows, "A newly born Wilderness God like you probably hasn't experienced the ' Extremely Evil Blood Crow Season, ' has you?"
"Now you understand, right?"
"Death is a destiny you cannot escape!"
"Honestly, I'm really curious about what you are. Dragonkin? A dog-headed man? But I've never seen a hairy dog-headed man like this before..."
Faced with Hades ' provocation.
Roger remained silent.
The opponent didn't attack directly, perhaps because they were wary of my strength, perhaps because they had exhausted too much energy activating the Seasonal Change Mantra, or perhaps they wanted to provoke me into making a mistake...
Regardless of which one.
All of this demonstrates that Hades was indeed a brave and resourceful man.
All I can say is that Roger was too careless.
His preconceived notions led him to mistakenly believe that Hades would inevitably provide assistance.
I didn't expect this guy to be serious!
"But it's alright this way..."
"Being too strong can actually make you feel constrained in Tower Defense Mode!"
Roger made up his mind.
He stood on the platform holding the stick.
Whoever comes, gets hit!
Very soon.
Hades started harassing again—and while he was speaking, Balun launched two surprise attacks.
He failed the first time.
He failed the second time.
Instead, he got hit by Roger's staff! If he hadn't been lucky and the Wishful Thinking Cudgel hadn't caused a stun effect, this guy would probably be joining Medier in death! After taking Roger's staff.
Balun also behaved himself.
Instead of taking the initiative, he started provoking Roger, just like Hades did.
Roger ignored it, but he was also a little puzzled—
These two guys created this "Extremely Evil Blood Crow Season" just to chat with me, right?
He couldn't accept that! But not long after...
The red and black blocks in his field of vision began to look extremely discordant!
Large amounts of red are approaching the sea area near the outpost!
A sense of danger was palpable.
at the same time.
Hades's smug laughter reached Roger's ears:
"I'll give you a free lesson on a secret about the Infernal faction—"
"In the Extremely Evil Blood Crow Season, those low-level demons will lose their self-awareness; they will become extremely insane and may even attack their own people..."
"But that's the beauty of it all. Now that they've gone completely mad, they're no longer afraid of that bitch Chesia!"
"So..."
"Bear my wrath, you furry kobold!"
As they were talking.
A massive horde of demons surged onto the platform where the outpost was located!
On the data panel.
"Warning: You have encountered the Chain Demon Legion"
"You have encountered the Fallen Devil Legion"
"You have encountered the Snow Mountain Devil Legion."
"Tower Defense Mode: This enemy attack is counted as a combination of the second and third waves, and the rewards will also be calculated together..."
On the platform.
Roger put away the stick with deep emotion.
He never expected this.
Things will return to square one in this way...
"Really..."
"I can always trust Hades!"
The next second.
He could no longer suppress his joy.
He burst into laughter.
A dazzling golden light also erupted from the Yellow Beard Daoist!...
"Notification: You have activated the Dharma Form ' Monster Heavenly Body '"
"You've transformed into a spirit: the Tengu."
With a whoosh, the golden light that enveloped the Daoist's body scattered across the world like shredded paper.
A divine dog, nearly a hundred meters tall at the shoulder, with a tail like an upside-down pine tree and pure yellow and white fur all over its body, appeared on the blood-red sea!
Faced with the overwhelming army of demons.
The tengu slowly opened its mouth.
Just one bite.
They swallowed up two-thirds of the enemy!...
"You activated the special ability of the Monster Heavenly Body, 'Sun Devouring'."
"You killed the Western Devil Balun."
"Rewards for the Extermination Order are being collected..."
"Ah?"
"A staged accident?"
Seeing this scene.
Roger, who had only taken a casual bite, was completely bewildered!
