I, Cheng Shi, Never Let a Grudge Go Unavenged!

Cheng Shi was naturally unaware of these things. He continued walking and wiping until he reached the middle of the wandering knight and the man in black robes, where he paused slightly.

Because he noticed that the black-robed man's eyes, filled with bloodlust, had quietly turned to look at him.

"You are Believer of the [Blood Moon of Slaughter]?"

Oh no, I should call you a "Filth and Decay" Believer, shouldn't I?

The man in black robes remained silent, his bloodlust growing ever stronger.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Shi pursed his lips and continued talking to himself:

"Let me guess, you must be the tour guide who brings travelers to Yuanmu Town?"

These people probably didn't pay to get in, right?

You captured them outside, then used puppet-making techniques to erase their Memory, making them believe they were travelers from afar...

Hmm, that logic sounds plausible.

Yuanmu Town is located near the Abyssal Volcano. Surface refugees sometimes want to hide underground for refuge, while underground scum also want to go to the Surface to see different scenery.

So you hunted outside town, captured these unfortunate souls, and brought them here to have children for your villagers.

Ji Ran and Li Boli frowned as they listened to Cheng Shi's words, while the man in black robes remained silent.

"Are you mute?"

Don't tell me you're Believer in "silence," that would be hilarious.

Let me think about it some more.

You have been committing endless killings in Yuanmu Town, leaving behind terrifying ballads in the town's long history, and even raising a flock of... Night Ravens for this purpose?

I was really curious why the night crows landed so precisely on the rooftops of these "unlucky" houses you chose.

But just now, right at the entrance of the church, when I saw those birdcages, I suddenly understood.

All you need to do is, before nightfall on the day the 'blasphemers' are supposed to die, scatter the food for taming night crows on the roofs of those 'blasphemers', and they will naturally become 'blasphemers' without even knowing it!

So you have a legal status in the town, right?

For example... the High Priest?

Interesting, I'm genuinely confused now.

Are you Believer who "Birth" or Believer who "Filth and Decay"?

Otherwise, how can you explain that you created a sun symbolizing light for Yuanmu Town, and spared no effort in spreading its Faith, yet you also want to transform into the Arbiter under the Blood Moon to unleash your bloodlust?

The Eternal Day rejected those Believer blasphemed Him, but chose to let the Blood Moon of Slaughter devour them.

How ridiculous, how absurd!

How could you even think of that?

But... no matter whose Believer you are, you're being a little too dedicated.

If it were just a lust for killing, perhaps you wouldn't have to do such a troublesome thing, nor would you have to persist for so long.

So what exactly drives you to do these dirty and despicable things year after year, day after day?

Hmm, let me guess again.

Is it possible that neither of these two are your Lord of Grace, and that you, like Hu Xuan, are using special means to steal their Divine Authority?

That's why you're so strong, strong enough to take on two opponents at once and still be able to listen to me talk so much!

I think the answer lies in the door behind you.

Right?

May I go in?

Silence is a sign of agreement.

"Very good, you agreed."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi began to stride forward.

But he had only taken one step when the door behind the man in black robes was suddenly blown open, and countless night crows flew out from behind the door, howling and screaming, rushing towards Cheng Shi was about to approach the door.

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted sharply, and his expression became extremely grave.

He immediately produced two Scalpel, twirling them with lightning speed to protect his face, and then repeatedly slashing his wrists, drawing upon the power of [Decay] to withstand the onslaught of swarms of night crows.

But there were just too many crows. In a panic, Cheng Shi kept retreating, and then he stumbled and fell into the middle of the three of them.

However, just as he was about to fall, a blinding purple light suddenly flashed between his fingers, and the roaring Thunderbolt instantly broke free of its cage, shooting towards the area behind him...

Ji Ran.

The same pattern as the fierce battle outside the church before.

Suddenly, they changed targets while fighting.

"Surprised, you little bitch!"

I, Cheng Shi, never hold a grudge for the night!

Ji Ran clearly hadn't expected that at this moment, Cheng Shi would rather endure the countless night crows pecking and biting his back than not deliver a hard blow to him.

He sensed the Divine Majesty of the Thunderbolt that he could not withstand, and so he could no longer maintain his composure. Forgetting all about maintaining balance, he dropped his greatsword and reached out to grab...

The man in black robes!

He once again manipulated the Nothingness, switching his Destiny with that of the man in black.

Ji Ran appeared very late and did not provide any energy to Cheng Shi's ring, so the Thunderbolt was not guaranteed to hit.

He narrowly escaped the fatal blow.

But even Believer in Destiny have Destiny bad days.

You might get away with it once, but you won't get another chance.

The moment he plucked the string of Destiny, his energy became chaotic.

This chaos was full of flaws!

The knight-errant seized the opportunity, roared and drew his bow from his abdomen. Enduring the excruciating pain, he fired two arrows, pinning Ji Ran, who was trying to escape, to the ground in front of the door.

She didn't waste this only window of opportunity and completed a wonderfully synchronized collaboration with Cheng Shi!

Ji Ran coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, severely injured, but someone else was even more seriously injured than him.

A torrent of lightning crashed down, striking the black-robed man squarely in the chest and sending him flying.

The electric lightning that filled the room pulverized all the night crows into ashes!

Li Boli was stunned when she caught a glimpse of this scene while firing her shot.

She was utterly shocked!

"You... you...!!"

At this moment, she was constantly searching her mind for the name of a combat class, trying to find a damage-dealing class that was somewhat like Priest and put it on Cheng Shi's head.

But she failed.

She couldn't imagine what other profession besides Elemental Judge could unleash such terrifying Thunderbolt!

But the Elemental Judge and Priest have absolutely no connection!

The situation left her no time to think.

The instant the lightning dissipated, she transformed into a whirlwind and swept towards the man in black robes. At this moment, Ji Ran was like a fish on a chopping board, with no power to turn the tide.

The only remaining threat was the black-robed man whose fate was uncertain.

Although Li Boli felt that after such a powerful Thunderbolt struck, it would be difficult for anyone to survive.

But that's how battles are; as long as the enemy hasn't been reduced to ashes, anything is possible.

So the wandering knight decided to personally nip this possibility in the bud.

But just as the gust of wind reached the black-robed man's heels, a strange change occurred!

A crimson light suddenly shot into the sky from the black-robed man's eyes. Everyone felt a red flash before their eyes, and a violent killing desire surged from the depths of their hearts, directly and brutally taking over their consciousness.

The three people froze on the spot, their eyes filled with confusion, then determination, and finally madness!

Their faces contorted into rages, their smiles turned terrifying, they searched for any weapons they could find, raised their blades, and then!

It stabbed straight into his own chest!

"No!!!"

Ji Ran was already seriously injured. If he were to let his hands plunge the greatsword into his chest, even if it was only a finger's depth, it would kill him instantly!

But the urge to kill was unstoppable, and he could only use his remaining conscious mind to desperately resist the violent suicidal thoughts!

With bloodshot eyes and bulging veins, he gripped the sword blade tightly with both hands, his hands trembling violently and dripping with blood, barely managing to keep the sword from piercing his body.

Li Boli and Cheng Shi were also having a hard time.

Li Boli then inserted the longbow into her stomach.

As for Cheng Shi, a Scalpel had been plunged halfway into his chest. If he hadn't done his best to deflect the blade slightly, he would probably be dead by now.

"Think of... a way...!!!"

The once confident Wind Tamer Ranger were now in dire straits. The violent red light seemed to have sealed off all their power, and even transforming into wind had become a luxury.

Fortunately, under the influence of the crimson light, the man in black robes also seemed unable to move. His arm pierced through his own flesh and squeezed into his heart.

He was also playing a game with himself; this was a trump card that didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Kill a thousand enemies, lose a thousand of your own.

The situation reached a stalemate once again.

But this time, the number of people changed from three to four.

The object of the confrontation has changed from the enemy to oneself.

Just then, the door was pushed open again.

A figure covered in blood staggered in.

Upon seeing this figure, hope shone in the eyes of all three players in the arena!

Qin Chaoge!

This Singer of war finally caught up at the end of the war!
