Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 587 Purification

In the deep pit, scarlet mist slowly poured down from the edge like a tide. The foul smell that had been temporarily emptied due to the aftermath of the battle gathered again with the end of the battle. Violent roars sounded from the end of the horizon. It was obvious that the battle just now had completely alarmed the filthy creatures in this area.

"Let's go, let's go back first."

Xin Lailai put away the Overlord's treasure chest and the mottled crystal in front of him, flapped the scales and feathers on his back, floated into the air, then looked at the Death Bearer and Yamu, and spoke.

The two men nodded slightly, without saying anything more, they moved together and decisively rushed towards the direction of the cobalt blue mecha in the distance.

Although they suppressed the nun throughout the fight, their consumption in the process cannot be ignored. In this case, instead of rushing forward when all the evil spirits in the area were rioting, it was obviously the most appropriate choice to go back and rest for a while and then sneak over.

"Ling Yuzi, I'll leave this to you for now."

'Um. ’

In mid-air, Xin Lailai glanced at the "wave" that was gradually surging behind him, and took the initiative to cancel the elf assimilation state, communicating with Ling Yuzi in his mind.

Retreat is retreat, but given their personalities, since they have come here, it is impossible for them to just go back home without doing anything.

Let Ling Yuzi leave the coordinates of the soul space here, and then capture a few flying ghosts born in this area and refine them into puppets. While they are resting, they will continue to open the map forward on their behalf. This is the correct operation of a qualified soul perception + alchemist.

Then, Xin Lailai moved, flapped the wings behind him heavily, and flew towards the direction of the cobalt blue mecha, while Ling Yuzi quickly set up several sealing spells on the spot, then escaped into the soul space, patiently waiting for the prey to take the bait.

……

Twenty minutes later, inside the tower.

Boom——! !

The dark blue mecha dropped from the teleportation array that was emitting dazzling silver-white light, and landed steadily on the ground with a heavy sound.

"Huh~ Fight and run away, how exciting!"

Yamu jumped out of the cockpit, glanced at the familiar scene around him, let out a long sigh, and complained.

"It's just a strategic retreat. We'll go back there naturally when we recover."

Xin Lailai glanced at the Death Bearer who was holding Saint Xiaobai and jumping down, then looked at Yamu, nodded slightly, took out the Overlord-level treasure chest obtained by killing the nun, and said:

"Who's coming?"

"you."

"Of course it's you, Brother Black Sword. After all, you're the only one among us whose luck is over 20."

“Then I’ll just open it.”

Xin Lailai said, without any further delay, after changing his title to "The World's Favored Person" which could directly improve his luck attribute, he directly pressed the overlord-level treasure chest in front of him and opened it casually.

Om-! !

The sound of the treasure chest opening was heard, followed by a dazzling scarlet light. At the same time, two lines of light blue text flashed across the edge of Xin Lailai's sight:

[Tip: Team leader "Black Sword" has opened the Overlord-level treasure chest, and the current team has obtained the following items]

……

Feather of Divine Filth (Overlord-level equipment)

……

[Feather of Divine Ulcer]

Origin: White Star
Quality: Overlord level
Category: Special equipment

Durability: 15/15
Usage requirements: Charm attribute does not exceed 1 point, and the main system energy is negative characteristic energy.

Equipment Effect 1, Contamination (Active): After activation, it will be temporarily integrated into the body. During this period, the negative characteristics of the energy will be amplified by 30%~150%, and the erosion ability will be enhanced by 30%~150%. However, the body will continue to bear the gradually increasing will erosion judgment. This effect consumes 1 point of equipment durability, lasts indefinitely, and has a cooldown of 7 days.

Equipment Effect 2, Divine Feathers (Passive): After gaining the "Filth" buff, you can use your own negative characteristic energy to condense divine filthy wings. The flying speed of these wings is determined by the current energy intensity, and can gain a certain degree of "characteristics" based on the negative characteristic energy used.

Equipment Effect 3, Shelter (Passive): After activating the "Divine Feather" state, when receiving fatal damage, it will consume 1 point of equipment durability and gain a "Secondary Invincibility" state, which lasts for 3 seconds and has a cooldown of 7 days.

Rating: 500
Introduction: Lord... Is such a filthy body really qualified to exist as a wing of protection?

Price: Not for sale

*Tip: Special equipment does not occupy the main equipment slot. You can use it by carrying and binding it. The current upper limit of the binding of Pioneer special equipment is: 2/4 (Veinstein's Face, Lord's Eye).

*Tip: The compatibility between this equipment and the Pioneer is extremely low. If you use it forcibly, there is a high probability that you will suffer from the backlash of this equipment.

……

"Fuck, they really found something good?"

Yamu, who was standing by, widened his eyes as he looked at the gray feather in Xinlailai's hand, which was full of signs of corrosion.

When Xin Lailai looked at the introduction of [Feather of Divine Filth], a strange look also flashed in his eyes.

In terms of effect, the equipment effect of [Feather of Divine Filth] can only be said to be very strong, but it is not top-notch. However, the effect of this thing is too comprehensive. It directly combines enhancement, flight, and life-saving in one, and combined with the advantages of special equipment, it is equivalent to directly hanging half an auxiliary on yourself.

The only pity is that the conditions for use are a bit too harsh. Not only does it require energy with negative characteristics, but it also requires low charm. In this case, except for some specific professions, other people basically can't think of using this equipment.

"We are lucky. This will improve our team's overall strength."

Finally, Xin Lailai smiled and threw the [Feather of Divine Filth] in his hand to the Death Keeper. Among the three of them, only the Death Keeper could use this equipment. In this case, Xin Lailai would naturally not deliberately keep such a thing in his hands, not to mention that this was something that the three of them had obtained through their joint efforts.

"If you continue to get this kind of equipment from the Overlord Treasure Boxes later, I'll deduct it from my share."

The Death Bearer held the [Feather of Divine Filth] thrown by Xin Lailai, looked at it for a while, calmly chose to bind it, and then spoke in an indifferent tone.

According to the contents of the contract, they should have divided the profits they obtained, but judging from the situation of the Feather of Divine Filth and this world, the Overlord-level treasure chests they would obtain later would probably only contain equipment like the Feather of Divine Filth that only she could use. Although the Death Bearer knew that Yamu and Xin Lailai would not say much about this, she did not intend to take advantage of this.

"no problem."

"Tsk tsk, I wanted our ice beauty to owe us a favor? Looks like this wonderful idea has to go down the drain~!"

Xinlailai nodded slightly, agreeing to the request of the dead man, while Yamu shrugged and said jokingly, "Now that the matter of the Overlord's treasure chest has been dealt with, the next step is to deal with this thing."

After the Death Bearer put away the [Feather of Divine Filth], Xin Lailai continued, taking out another item from the storage space and showing it to everyone. The Little White Saint behind the Death Bearer saw what Xin Lailai was holding, bit her lip lightly, and unconsciously exerted some strength on the Death Bearer's clothes. At the same time, the Black Knight attached to his body also revealed his figure in the black wind, looked down at the thing in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice:

"The people above can feel Evelyn's power."

……

[Filthy Pure White Crystal]

Origin: White Star
Quality: world class
Category: Rare Items/Materials
Rating: 500
Introduction: A special crystal that incorporates the will and power of "White Sister" Evelyn Luo. Its interior has been completely corroded by the power of filth. If the filthy power can be eliminated, perhaps the power of Evelyn Luo can be obtained.

Price: 10% of the World's Origin (currently unsaleable)
……

The mottled crystal full of traces of filth and erosion lay quietly in Xin Lailai's palm. Unlike the uncontaminated white crystal in the tower, the white crystal in front of him was only about 1/8 the size of the white crystal used as the base of the array, and there was no sense of the holy aura of the normal white crystal on it. Instead, it gave people a feeling of tyranny and frenzy.

Of course, these are not the main points now. The main point is...

"Lily, are you going to purify it?"

Xin Lailai looked at the timid Little White Saint in front of her, staring at her tender and holy little face, and spoke.

In fact, this white crystal does not belong to Evelyn Luo, but to the little white saint who is protected by the other party. Not only that, there is also a white crystal of similar size in Lily's body, but it is not the power of the nun that resides on it, but the will of the black knight.

Xin Lailai also analyzed the composition of the White Crystal, and his result was that although this crystal as a whole is composed of a large amount of world power and faith power, its real core is an unknown power full of holiness. It is the existence of this power that gives the White Crystal the ability to resist and carry the filthy power, and gives it the magical power to constitute the souls of the little white saints like Lily.

The most important thing is, from the information they have, once Saint Xiaobai chooses to use her own power to "purify" the filth, the white crystal in her body will be eroded by the power of filth, and then affect the soul of Saint Xiaobai with this as the core. It can be said that this purification is essentially a life in exchange for life.

In this situation, rationally speaking, they should not let Lily, the last living Little White Saint in the world, touch the filthy power, but...

"This white crystal comes from one of the 'sisters' you are looking for, so whether to use your own power to purify it is entirely up to you."

Xin Lailai spoke calmly. The Black Knight looked at the crystal in his hand and fell silent. The Little White Saint pursed her lips, lowered her head and was silent for a while. Then she looked up at Xin Lailai and nodded vigorously. She let go of her hands that were holding the corner of the deceased's clothes, tiptoed to take off her protective suit, walked to Xin Lailai, held the white crystal full of mottled marks in her two small hands, her pure white eyelashes drooped slightly, and a tiny white light bloomed from her palm, and then...

Om-! !

The pendant made of a large white crystal on the neck of Saint Xiaobai suddenly floated up, emitting an incomparably dazzling white light in front of Saint Xiaobai's astonished eyes, and rapidly absorbing the filthy power that emanated from the filthy white crystal in Saint Xiaobai's hand.

After dozens of seconds, the dazzling white light that was enough to illuminate the entire tower gradually went out, and the white crystal on the neck of Saint Xiaobai fell from a floating state. The area at the bottom of the crystal also had a touch of black color. The white crystal in Saint Xiaobai's hand once again glowed with a faint white light, and the feather-shaped mark that was originally covered by the traces of erosion also reappeared.

Saint Little White looked at this scene, looked at the white crystal in her hand, then looked down at the pendant hanging around her neck, blinked, and her young face was full of shock and confusion.

"Don't be surprised. This is the result of my adjustment of this white crystal according to the technique in your body. Now when you purify the filth, you no longer need to use the white barrier in your body to bear the burden of purification. Instead, you can use this white crystal that serves as the base of the isolation barrier array to bear it."

Xin Lailai's gentle voice rang out, and a smile appeared on his face. He smiled and answered the doubts in Saint Xiaobai's mind. Saint Xiaobai's eyes flickered, and she looked at Xin Lailai with excitement. She hurriedly took out a pen and paper from her arms and wrote happily:

"Thank...thank...big...brother! This way...Lily...can save...more...sisters...!"

'Lily...felt...her sister's...thoughts...inside...and...she...was...very...grateful. Lily...felt...very...happy.'

"Yes... yes! The nun...sister also said...she was very grateful...to her elder brother...and the sisters...for helping her...free herself from the curse."

Saint Xiaobai wrote happily, using this way to express her joy. Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something. She looked at the small crystal in her hand, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and looked like she was trying her best. Then...

Om-! !

Beams of white light bloomed from the gaps in his fists and condensed into pure white feathers in mid-air. Then, these feathers gathered together behind him and transformed into the figure of Evelyn Luo in an filthy form.

"Thanks."

An obscure and hoarse voice came from under Evelyn Luo's body, and then Evelyn Luo, who was condensed by the power of pure white crystals, slowly lowered her head, holding the flesh hammer in her right hand, and gently hugging the waist of the Little White Saint with her left hand. Her scarlet pupils revealed a touch of tenderness, but her eyes gave people a dull feeling.

Xin Lailai and the other two looked at this scene, listening to the words in their minds that were condensed from the fluctuations of their souls, without saying a word.

Those who had fought with the nun personally knew that the 'Evelyn Luo' before them was not the real "White Sister", but a shell formed by the other party's will and power. Although she possessed some of the strength of the "White Sister" before her death, she had no intelligence and only had the instinct of "protecting the little white saint".

——Just like the Black Knight dragged his broken body and entrusted the Little White Saint to him, Evelyn Luo, as the fifth guardian, also chose her own way to implement her will of protection into death.

"So, if we kill these guys who are corroded by filth later, we can let Little Lily purify the white crystals in their bodies and continue to strengthen our combat power?"

Yamu looked at the incarnation of the nun in front of him and asked Xin Lailai.

"In theory, this is indeed possible. After all, according to what Lord Black Knight said, except for the First Guardian, all other guardians who remained in the erosion zone have a White Crystal from Saint Little White fused into their bodies."

Xin Lailai spoke calmly. According to the Black Knight's description, in order to ensure that the guardians who stayed behind could stay awake as much as possible under the erosion of filth, the Little White Saints at that time took the initiative to choose to hand over the White Crystal of the dead Little White Saint to the other party, hoping that these guardians could survive the attack of filth and reunite with them.

"However, even if this is really possible, I suggest that we do something else first."

As Xin Lailai spoke, he lowered his head to look at the large white crystal on the little white saint's pendant and said:

"The composition of these white crystals is very strange. Even I cannot fully understand the true principle of how they store the filthy power. Therefore, in order to prevent damage to their structure, we cannot use your boundary thunder to remove the filthy power stored in them for the time being."

"As Lily's purification increases, the risks she will have to bear will also increase. Therefore, I personally suggest that you first collect all the white crystals that were originally used as the array base, and let me fine-tune them. In this way, Lily's safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent when she purifies the filth. What do you think?"

"Let's collect the White Crystals first... That sounds like a good idea. So we have to travel around the entire continent?"

Upon hearing this, Yamu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the white crystal hanging on the neck of Saint Xiaobai. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he shrugged his shoulders, smiled and teased the two of them.

"I guess so. So Brother Yamu agrees?"

"Well, I unconditionally support your proposal, Captain Hei. As for Miss Deathbringer..."

As Yamu spoke, he looked at the executioner beside him, and the executioner just nodded calmly, revealing his attitude.

"In that case, after Ling Yuzi finishes gathering intelligence, we will officially set off."

"can."

"OK~!"

Xin Lailai said, and took the initiative to sit cross-legged. Upon hearing this, the deceased and Yamu nodded slightly, and sat cross-legged with Xin Lailai, entered a meditative state, and quickly recovered their own conditions.
