Instant Kill! Second-Order Hell

The phantom of the Frost Giant emerged from behind the White Wolf Mask, towering and imposing, like a god or demon looking down upon all living beings.

This shocking scene will forever be etched in Vice President Atos's mind.

Click, click.

His blood began to cool rapidly and congeal.

Water vapor from the air condenses on his body, layer upon layer, forming frost.

However, in his heart, there was a powerful, goat-like Seed of Life.

A burst of endless Black Qi erupted, like a warm current, protecting his heart.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

The stiff body seemed to be recovering.

But that's all there is to it.

The next moment, amidst Levi's soft singing.

The blazing Yellow-White Flame, accompanied by scorching air currents, brought an intense heat rushing towards us!

Atos struggled desperately to escape, but his body wouldn't obey him.

The feeling of watching danger approaching without being able to avoid it is absolutely terrifying!

His armor was charred black, and the intense heat made Atos want to roar, but his previously frozen throat prevented him from making a sound.

This painful feeling, like being paralyzed by a ghost, brought back a long-lost sense of fear.

After advancing to the rank of Great Knight, he possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, and he rarely experiences fear.

Even though he was at a disadvantage in the battle against the Silver Mountain Knight and was no match for him, he knew that his life was not in danger; he would only suffer some injuries.

However, the situation before him made him realize that he had encountered a truly formidable enemy.

The opponent might not even be Knight!

More like a legendary... wizard! A wizard skilled in melee combat!

Under the opponent's sudden attack of witchcraft, Atos had no power to resist and was put on the defensive from the very beginning of the battle.

Atos was anxious; he also possessed a similar supernatural trump card as his opponent.

It was a Snuff Bottle that could summon the "Lord Lamp Spirit" to fight for it; it was a powerful Evil Spirit.

But the damn thing is, not only can I not move, but I can't make a sound either!

This is utterly hopeless! After being scorched by the flames,

The dazzling cross-shaped sword light, as bright as stars, shattered Atos's armor with its unparalleled high-level Ripple Power.

Levi's Frostmourne had pierced Atos's chest.

Atos's heart was pierced, and the Seed of Life inside was desperately trying to mend Atos's heart with Black Qi, but to no avail.

The deadly poison of the Human-Faced Spider's Tears had begun to spread throughout his body.

The battle was over at this point; Atos was on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.

Levi used a dagger and arrows to pin the bald man's limbs to a large tree.

"Hey, ever heard of the Boar Knight, buddy?" A hoarse, deep voice came from beneath the White Wolf Mask.

A desperate Atos was filled with doubt; he knew he was about to die.

He desperately wanted to summon the Lamp Spirit, but he could no longer make a sound.

Levi thought that Atos didn't want to answer him.

"If you don't want to talk, then go die."

Levi, behind the mask, couldn't help but sigh. He had shattered Atos's heart, and the goat-like Seed of Life, filled with resentment, was burned to ashes by the flames.

Levi was panting, even though this battle was a complete rout.

However, he was still very nervous. Fighting the Great Knight required him to be fully focused and he could not relax at all.

In order to fully unleash the power of the Frost Giant's Sigh, Levi was very close to Atos, and the terrifying frost instantly froze Atos.

Even the Great Knight was powerless to fight back.

Levi exhaled a breath of cold air. The spell naturally wouldn't harm him, but he could still feel the real cold.

Levi cleaned up the battlefield. The soldiers were all very weak, not even Knight. They hadn't come out to fight, so they naturally didn't have anything valuable on them. Levi piled them all together and burned them.

Even this Vice President, whose name I think was something like Atos, didn't have anything valuable on him, just a few Gold Coins, which was better than nothing.

"The most valuable thing is Atos's corpse."

"My Hell Seal will soon reach the Second Order, at which point I can command two Living Dead, two Living Dead protectors at the Great Knight level. This is a privilege only kings and Pope can enjoy," Levi thought to himself, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Suddenly, something rolled off Atos, catching Levi's attention.

It was a black Snuff Bottle.

"What is this?" Levi frowned inwardly, becoming wary at the same time.

The Spider Sense haven't changed, so there shouldn't be any danger.

However, Levi was not entirely certain, since Spider Sense was not always accurate.

At the same time, Levi noticed that some of the patterns and designs on the Snuff Bottle seemed somewhat familiar.

"Right, it's a pattern similar to the one on the Frost Giant Armor."

Levi lifted the Frost Giant Armor for a comparison.

Sure enough, although the content of the patterns was different, the style was indeed the same.

"It seems that the spell has been solidified on this Snuff Bottle as well."

"Could this possibly belong to a wizard?"

With this in mind, Levi became extremely cautious. He knew he couldn't stay here any longer. He prepared the Guardian Seal and then left with the Snuff Bottle and Atos's corpse.

The battle lasted for a day and a night.

Without the Great Knight Atos to hold the line.

The Silver Mountain Knight, combined with the Armor-Piercing Crossbow on the city walls, successfully dealt with the four Icefield Rhinoceros.

The death of this strategic siege beast immediately put the Brotherhood of the Wilds's army at a disadvantage.

In the end, after waiting for the Vice President's reinforcements for a long time, the commander-in-chief sounded the retreat, and the army began to withdraw, leaving behind a field of corpses.

The enemy has a Great Knight, along with their heavy cavalry and well-trained army. Without Great Knight on our side, it will be difficult to break through the city. We will have to find other ways.

Of course, Earl Silver Mountain also suffered considerable losses, but his family and business were large enough that he could bear these losses.

Earl Silver Mountain himself was also badly injured; there are no winners in war.

Silver Mountain Stronghold.

Earl Silver Mountain was healing his wounds while listening to his subordinates' report.

"Didn't find Atos?" Silver Mountain asked, frowning.

"Yes, but our scouts have learned that Atos hasn't been seen at the Brotherhood of the Wilds these past few days. He's mysteriously disappeared, along with the squad he was leading."

"Then we found traces of a great battle in the direction Atos fled. Although the traces had been deliberately erased, it was still clear that it was a battle at the level of Great Knight."

"We suspect that Atos encountered an enemy of the level of Great Knight during his retreat, and he is very likely dead."

As his subordinates spoke, they found it hard to believe.

The fact that a powerful Great Knight- level warrior died mysteriously in this small grove is indeed horrifying.

"Continue the investigation and find out Atos's whereabouts."

"I am enduring the excruciating pain of healing," said Earl Silver Mountain.

"If Atos is really dead, then who in Icewind City has the power to kill Atos? Shining Tavern?"

It is currently unclear whether this unknown Great Knight is friend or foe, Earl Silver Mountain dares not let his guard down.

He wouldn't naively assume that the person who killed Atos was his friend.

In this world, there are no friends, only interests.

Levi did not return to Icewind City. Icewind City had been too chaotic lately, and he had achieved his goal, so he went straight back to his territory.

He treated the body of the Great Knight Atos with preservatives and mercury, preparing to turn him into a "Living Dead" after he reached the Second Order of the Hell Seal.

Levi looked at everything with satisfaction, patted Demon Shark on the shoulder and said, "You'll have company now."

Then Levi was fully armed and prepared the Guardian Seal, ready to activate it at any moment.

He then took out the "Snuff Bottle" that resembled a wizard's item.

"What on earth is this thing?"

There were no instructions or anything.

In this respect, she is no match for the Witch Gulveig.

It's a pity that Atos is already dead, otherwise Levi could have asked him.

He examined the Snuff Bottle carefully; the lid could be unscrewed.

However, Levi would naturally not do something so brain-dead that only a moronic protagonist in a horror movie would do.

If it were some kind of Evil Spirit sealed inside, I'd probably die on the spot.

In the end, Levi studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Never mind, let's seal it off first."

Levi sealed the Snuff Bottle in Russian Nesting Box.

Some are made of iron, some of silver, some of wood, and some are even made of pure gold.

This made him feel a little more at ease, but just to be on the safe side, Levi did not leave the Snuff Bottle at the Sanctuary.

And buried under a tree in the territory.

He planned to wait until he advanced to the rank of Great Knight and mastered the Dragon Might Seal before attempting to force it open.

After all, there might be clues about wizards inside, so Levi naturally couldn't give up.

"The Witch Gulveig, the Witch Rowling, the Spirit Driving Handbook, the wizard's Snuff Bottle, the clues are piling up."

Levi was in a good mood. After checking the situation in his territory and finding nothing unusual recently, he focused on improving his proficiency with the Hell Seal.

The year 1010 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Furnace.

The Emerald Kingdom is in ruins. A new king has ascended the throne and called on all the nobles to join forces to punish the Black Mountain Duke for his betrayal of the alliance.

They also implored the Church to dispatch the Radiant Knight Order to punish the Black Mountain Duke.

The Church, preoccupied with purging the heretical Brotherhood of the Wilds, ignored the king's pleas.

In the south, the Black Mountain Army has already captured the fiefdoms of many minor nobles with unstoppable momentum.

The southern nobles had been living in comfort for too long and were simply unable to organize an effective resistance in the face of the overwhelming Black Mountain Army.

However, under the organization of the new Emerald King, a Southern Allied Army was finally established, and together with the Royal Family, they launched a counterattack against the Black Mountain Duke.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring Tuva Empire, which was suffering a similar fate, the civil war continued.

The disappearance of the Empire's Fist has led to a decrease in support for the Empire's Fist and an increase in the number of people joining the rebels.

It's only a matter of time before the rebels unify the country.

It seems everyone has forgotten the threat posed by the Snow Wraith in the Far North.

Meanwhile, the situation in Icewind City is not good either.

Previously, there had been a civilian riot in the city, which had caused Earl Silver Mountain a lot of trouble. In the end, it was found that the rioters were indeed members of the Brotherhood of the Wilds.

These people were beheaded and their heads displayed as a warning to others.

However, the subsequent riots did not decrease.

Meanwhile, the Brotherhood of the Wilds launched attacks on all sides.

The heretical deity "Lord of the Wilds," which the Church considers an "evil god," has begun to appear more frequently in people's view.

The phrase "Heavenly Father above" that some ordinary people used to refer to has unknowingly transformed into "Chaos Above" or "Lord of the Wilds above".

This is probably why the Church ignores the noble disputes and is determined to eliminate the Brotherhood of the Wilds.

Even if the aristocratic power is completely reshuffled and the Emerald Kingdom becomes the Black Mountain Empire, it makes no difference to the Church.

The Heavenly Father remains the one true God of this new kingdom.

However, the rise of the "Lord of the Wilds" is undoubtedly encroaching on the foundation of the Church's faith. For the Holy Radiance Church, these heretical cultists who spread heretical beliefs are the primary enemy.

After many twists and turns, Levi finally learned the whereabouts of the Boar Knight Boar Knight, who died while on a mission sent out by Atos...

"Damn it, why couldn't they wait for me!" Levi sighed inwardly.

Although Levi ultimately failed to kill the Boar Knight himself, after much effort, he finally managed to bring back Old Toby was doing quite well in the Brotherhood of the Wilds, and learned a lot about the Brotherhood of the Wilds from Old Toby.

Old Toby is now much older, so Levi didn't let him continue Forging, but only let him take on the responsibility of mentoring newcomers.

Little Milan is capable of standing on his own now, and it's time for him to enjoy his retirement.

Levi had no intention of seeking revenge against the Brotherhood of the Wilds; that was the Church's business, and he didn't want the Church to take advantage of his labor for free.

In times of chaos, bandits run rampant.

Even the once peaceful Blackwater Valley has been plagued by numerous bandits and Wandering Knight.

However, they were easily annihilated by Levi's Crimson Blood Cavalry Legion and his near- Great Knight level of combat prowess; one by one they came, they died, and in groups they came, they died.

Even the Abraham Church suffered from burning, killing, and looting by thugs under the Brotherhood of the Wilds.

Charafo shamelessly asked Levi for help, Levi naturally agreed to Charafo's request.

During one invasion, he had his militia provide assistance, which greatly pleased Charafo to Levi.

Then, just three nights later, a mob, led by a masked villain, released poison in the dead of night, killing a number of clergy members and committing arson, murder, and looting, causing heavy losses to the church.

The Shameless Priest Charafo was so enraged that he suffered a heart attack and had to lie in bed for several days to recover.

In response, the good neighbor Baron Levi, strongly condemned the villains and encouraged Priest Charafo to face all these difficulties with a smile.

In this chaotic world, absurd things happen every day.

Levi also strayed further and further from the path of the liver, until the liver reached the edge of the universe, and the path of the liver was about to be obliterated.

Finally, during the Month of Wheat Fields event, Levi managed to grind the Hell Seal, which he had been longing for, to Second Order.

My temperature was 38.6 in the morning, 37.4 at noon, and 38.4 again in the evening. I've been lying in bed all day. My temperature keeps fluctuating. Looking at my dwindling drafts, I realize that being sick is really taking a toll. But I still have enough drafts to go around 10,000 a day for 4 or 5 days, so don't worry about me stopping updating.

Everyone should try to stay home as much as possible. I went to the office with my boss on Monday, and now we both have fevers...
