Our family is in decline

Baldwin only saw the lord rushing up to catch the falling Junia. He thought that was it, but after calming down a little, the lord's face was even more surprised and angry.

At this time, the light that had been dormant on Junia bloomed again, but it was as if it was squeezed out and turned into a stream of light.

What made Baldwin feel even more weird was that he actually felt like he was being stared at the first time. It couldn't be wrong, because the flash rushed towards him.

It was too fast, even Baldwin didn't react, but at this time, accompanied by the lord's inaudible roar, a big hand actually grabbed the light.

The moment the two touched, the flash seemed to have sensed something and burst into dazzling light in Lance's hand, but it was swallowed up in an instant.

This time, Baldwin and his friends saw the famous scene with their own eyes.

Lance grabbed the light.

Or it could be said that the power of sacrifice could not escape even light.

However, Lance also paid a lot for this. His whole arm was severely burned by the last burst of power. His skin was charred and carbonized. The exposed muscles were not good. The flesh and blood and the remnants of clothes were melted together.

Lance calmly retracted his arm, as if it was not his arm that was injured. He could see the scars on it healing, and the flesh that continued to grow replaced the charred necrotic flesh and turned into blood scabs and fell from it.

In an instant, smooth and white skin appeared on the arm, and there was no trace of scars on it, as if it had never been injured.

But the resentment was more serious-I just changed my new clothes!

He only had eight sets of clothes for the four seasons. He just scrapped a set of severely damaged clothes yesterday, and it broke again just two days after changing.

It’s okay to take over my body, but also ruin my clothes.

Fortunately, the gift from the sacrifice at this time distracted his attention, so he had no time to care about these, because the gift was...

Divinity +5

"So this is the so-called saint?"

Lance whispered and fell into deep thought.

That corpse was probably just a host or container of that light. As long as that light parasitized on it, he would be a saint.

Of course, it would be occupied by another consciousness just like before. Lance was very sure that if he hadn't intervened, the consciousness that would have woken up in Junia would have been another consciousness called a saint.

Lance didn't care what he did, what he was, or whether it was good or bad. Anyway, anyone who touched him would have to die.

It was just that the two keywords "container" and "parasitism" made Lance frown. Why did he seem to have heard of it somewhere?

Plus the gods walking on earth...

But he soon realized something and was excited.

Carrying the power of God, isn't this the origin of the Pig God?

And wasn't the last time he came into contact with divinity from the sacrifice of the Pig God?

The real reason for the failure of the Pig God could not be that the divinity was not enough, so it could not withstand the arrival of the existence outside the domain.

And obtaining divinity can probably be guessed to be related to religious worship. Could it be that the ancestors cultivated those pigs to accumulate divinity?

That is, there are two beings in the beast cave, one is the pigman god, and the other is the invisible flesh and blood. One of them provides divinity, and the other provides the heart of flesh and blood. They are all left by the ancestor for the plan.

Although these are all guesses made by Lance based on the existing information, the logical reasoning is smooth.

So the ancestor did so much, and what he really wanted was not to take this divinity, right?

The thousands of threads were tangled in his mind, but Lance did not have too much time to entangle these, because Junia woke up slowly.

Lance then reacted and helped her up, "Are you okay?"

"It feels very strange, what is that?" Junia is not an ordinary weak woman. She asked questions after she woke up.

For this opportunity, Lance took over without hesitation.

"That saint just wants to occupy your body and resurrect from you. I thought the church really had some saints. Occupying other people's bodies is no different from those cultists and evil wizards.

Sure enough, the church just mastered some extraordinary ways and then monopolized them. It looks bright and beautiful with the help of religious packaging, but it is extremely ugly once it is revealed."

If the believers of the church heard this, they would probably get angry with Lance. They wished that the saints would descend on them, and they didn't care about being devoured.

On the contrary, Lance intervened to interrupt the ceremony. Probably like those ascending believers, they thought that Lance deprived them of the opportunity to "ascend".

In fact, these religious people are almost the same. They are going to heaven and ascending, but they are just people who are for their own interests.

Lance at least gives something when he orders people to do things, but their interests are only in the mouths of those gods, which are illusory and can't be seen at all. This is the most ridiculous.

Both Junia and Baldwin have discussed these issues, because they themselves have doubts about the church. Under Lance's "education", faith and religion are separated, but they did not go crazy, but were willing to think about Lance's words.

Indeed, if you occupy someone else's body and resurrect, this sounds like a very evil ability. How the hell did the church become like this?

What's more terrifying is that if the saints are just a bunch of parasites, then what is the holy light?

Originally, they still had a filter for the saints, but it was torn off directly, and then kicked into the garbage dump by Lance.

Lance didn't care whether the saint had done any good deeds or not. He had his own interests. The more unlucky the church was, the better.

While others were still thinking about these messy questions, Lance let go of Junia and turned around to search the scene where the holy land was dissipating.

The body of the saint that was originally best preserved turned into dust directly when the holy flame dissipated. Unfortunately, this guy did not leave behind any equipment like a steel torch.

But the other three surprised Lance a little, a set of legendary shield guard equipment, a set of legendary knight equipment, and something left by the bishop.

Although Lance didn't like the church, he could use it critically. There were no restrictions on these equipment.

Three sets of legendary equipment had entered his pocket at this time, but Lance was still not satisfied. He looked for something on those corpses.

Sure enough, he took out three metal amulets shaped like torches, which emitted strong spiritual fluctuations and even emerged with orange-yellow fluorescence, as if the torch was really burning.

After all, it was close to the last level. No matter how forgetful Lance was, he probably remembered that he would face the monster with the prefix of the Temple that guarded the ritual on the second floor of the dungeon.

The Temple had a trick that other cultists did not have called [Revelation]. This skill could instantly penetrate human will and even soul.

In the game, you need to collect this item called [Burning Amulet] so that you can survive in the revelation.

Why not bring more people?

The three Burning Amulets in Lance's hand have already given the answer. Without this, no matter how many people come, they will die. Some difficulties cannot be overcome by will.

He brought the guards this time for another consideration, but he was not stupid. He didn't want the guards to fight the Temple. The most troublesome thing when he came to the dungeon last time was not a single fight, but those scumbags.

But when these scumbags rushed up, even Lance would be dragged down. In this case, he realized that he had to fight in groups. The guards came here to clear the monsters. Baldwin was a tough guy for him to chew.

Therefore, none of the five guards selected this time have ranged weapons, because the damage of both bows and muskets is too low, and there is no room for squishy people to survive here.

They are all the most elite melee fighters, wearing heavy full armor and helmets to prevent sudden death and inability to be rescued, as well as those face-huggers.

The weapons in their hands are basically sharp weapons, which are used to cut those cultists. After applying medicine, the damage caused is more obvious than blunt weapons.

It can be said that they are specially selected for the characteristics shown by those cultists.

"Do you know what this is?"

Lance interrupted Junia and the others thinking about life with the amulet. To be honest, if he didn't want to pretend, he wouldn't bother to ask this question.

Junia looks talented, but she is trapped in the monastery most of the time, and her job is to add firewood.

She also learned the rules and regulations of the scriptures. Although she can read, she has mostly come into contact with extraordinary knowledge or mysticism after coming to Hamlet.

At this time, she just frowned and shook her head when facing the amulet. After all, she was not one of those brainless fanatics. The experience of being eroded just now made her instinctively resist these things.

There was danger hidden under the light.

On the contrary, Baldwin's background meant that he could get in touch with some good things. After feeling the power emanating from the amulet, he said something naturally.

"I don't know."

Lance was speechless. You two are fake church believers, right?

However, he could only simply explain that when he came here last time, the defeated saints of the church left a message, which said that there was a kind of monster that could kill a person instantly, and only by wearing this amulet could it be resisted.

"One for each of you two." Lance gave the amulet to the two, and then waved from the guards, "Bahrain, come here."

The tallest man in the guards came up. His iron tower-like body and the [Beheader] axe in his hand looked fierce, but he was really still in the growth period.

Because after getting enough nutrition and the blessing of the lord, his height has exceeded two meters in just a few months.

At the same time, the withered flesh gradually filled up, and the thick skeleton finally bulged out solid muscles. Now this set of armor is all new, because the old one can no longer be worn, so you can imagine.

"Take this means that you will be in the front and face very terrible enemies. Can you complete the task?"

"I guarantee to complete the task!"

Balin's answer was like a bell ringing. Baldwin didn't know where the lord found the giant, even if he himself was unwilling to wrestle with him.

"Okay!" Lance handed the last amulet to Balin, and he looked quite satisfied.

Balin is the strongest among those guards. With talent, hard work and blessings, he has already broken through to the master.

Originally, Lance thought of asking only him to come back to join the team, but since he had already called him, he would just pull a small team back, and there would be no disadvantage in having more people.

Now that the sanctuary has dissipated, Lance doesn't care whether the guardian ritual is destroyed or not, and directly picked up the three mummified wax-green palms.

The Hand of Praise is a strange prop made by the saints using the palms of the other three people to suppress the flesh and blood ritual.

Lance thought it was tragic, but when he found out that the saint was trying to take over Junia's body, he felt something was wrong.

"Why is the church still using these human organs to make props like the mountain barbarians?"

Lance's seemingly unintentional complaints did not cause much ripples, but they deepened the impression of those people.

If possible, Lance would not want to waste time here. He had to be weird when going to the dungeon. The church had no interest in it, but he had to eliminate the influence left by the saints here.

Damn, it's harder to do this than to fight. It's all the fault of the ancestor.

"We don't have much time to waste here. We will encounter enemies when we walk through here."

Lance took everything away, even the corpses.

No matter what purpose those people came here for, they created conditions for themselves. Lance is a person who is one thing for one thing.

Since the equipment was taken away, they would not be left here.

I wonder how much money the church is willing to pay to redeem the corpses of saints and legendary strongmen?

But now I'm too lazy to care about these. Lance has walked into the slowly opening door, and the team followed him in.

Flesh and blood forged by madness! They climbed up steadily from the depths, leaning on the stairs built by the giant stone pillars...

When he stepped into the second floor, Lance finally felt the pressure of losing on the upper floor.

If the first layer is just filled with blood mist, on the contrary, the thick blood mist here has become thinner, but...

Large pieces of eyeballs, fangs, blood vessels and other corrupted flesh and blood can be seen everywhere, now clinging to the door frame, the ground, and the boulder.

Looking far away outside the passage, what is revealed is twisted and deformed flesh and blood piled up like mountains, and giant tentacles growing wildly...

This scene gave everyone a stronger shock, even Lance was stunned, because he remembered something.

Where did the flesh and blood of millions of people who were stripped off during the catastrophe go?

When he saw this scene now, he seemed to have an answer...

While others were still in a daze, Lance had taken the initiative to walk towards a piece of flesh and blood. Observation showed that although these large pieces of flesh and blood clinging to the surroundings were twitching, the eyeballs were also turning, and the mouths were opening and closing, they did not mean to attack directly.

There is a certain difference from those augmentations that were stripped off from the chaotic demons at the beginning.

Lance knows nothing about mysticism, and when he is undecided, he will sacrifice directly.

You will know if he has consciousness after trying it.

However, it was this action of his that... (End of this chapter)
