There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

A pool of pale blue water, metal supports erected within the blue pool, kneeling Vortex People, and a massive crucifix propped up at the edge of the pool.

These chaotic elements constructed such a peculiar scene.

Xiao Yang's exploration of the latter half of the sewer was very smooth, encountering almost no obstacles, none of those messy mental attacks, only the sparsely populated Vortex People wandering back and forth in this section of the sewer.

Such a combination posed no pressure for Xiao Yang.

The situation in this area was very special, these Vortex People were also very special, and everything should be inextricably linked to this special scene in front of him.

Getting closer, the kneeling Vortex People did not respond in any way to Xiao Yang's arrival.

Having caught his breath, Xiao Yang felt more invigorated, and in recent days he had discovered more uses for the Tranquility Charms he had scavenged from the various trading zones.

Hoping that these Tranquility Charms would provide more benefits in combat was almost impossible; the power of these evil god worshippers was too polluting, and the talisman stuck to his body would burn fiercely like fireworks after taking one or two attacks.

However, this did not mean that these Tranquility Charms had no other uses; after a battle, Xiao Yang would use one on himself, and immediately, the icy coolness could calm down all kinds of messy thoughts and ideas.

Like an iced coffee in winter, like a cigarette after hard work, the feeling was subtle, but indeed very useful.

To some extent, Xiao Yang was now a little addicted, a strange addiction called using a Tranquility Charm after a battle.

On the scarlet armor stained with undissolved blood, a yellowed talisman depicting strange patterns spontaneously burned and dissipated after reaching its effect. Xiao Yang stepped onto the metal supports above the blue pool in front of him.

The creaking sounds rang out, the noise was very loud, but for some reason, the Vortex People seemed to be unaware, only kneeling on the ground, trembling, muttering to themselves, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Entering a strange dungeon, encountering a strange evil god, fighting with strange enemies, and developing a strange addiction."

After discovering this strange addiction of his, Xiao Yang had also thought about doing something, thought about restraining himself a little.

"But this feeling is really good!"

And thinking about what kind of freaks and monsters he faced every day.

"If I'm addicted, then I'm addicted. Every day I'm dealing with those bizarre things, what else can I do? What else can I do!"

Xiao Yang gave up with a sense of resignation.

He really needed to rest well.

The God Game gave a prompt at this time. Glancing at it, it was a response from a big shot in the Justice Squad, the Light Master.

Now Xiao Yang no longer needed the Bedrock Forging Balm; his defense had been raised to the limit before the next advancement, but he needed to make his old partner more vigorous.

In the invasion of the evil god, Xiao Yang needed to rely on the Hope Lantern to provide him with assistance.

But now Xiao Yang couldn't spare the time to respond to the Holy Light Master. He had already arrived behind these Vortex People, and he had already raised the rusted giant axe in his hand high.

The Vortex People were completely unaware of this; they were praying in fearful whispers.

"Salvation, please save me, Great Goddess of Rest."

Xiao Yang heard it. He heard the fearful whispers of these Vortex People.

But it's not a big problem. It's not a problem at all.

Now his strength was ninety-five points, and full conversion could bring a ninety-five-point damage bonus, which was already a very outrageous number. The damage of the rusted giant axe was only sixty points.

That is to say, the damage that Xiao Yang could cause with his bare hands now was comparable to or even exceeded the rusted giant axe. Of course, the situation was not to be compared in this way; the damage increase brought by the strength attribute and the weapon were in a mutually reinforcing state.

Moreover, the reason why Xiao Yang's own bonus exceeded the weapon's attributes was largely because Xiao Yang lacked various matching weapon effects.

It could be said that the rusted giant axe was somewhat wasted in Xiao Yang's hands.

Weapon bonus, specialization, unique skills and techniques, various special buffs, and matching traits, none of these could be missing. They had to be completely matched and combined to create a qualified heavy axeman.

And what about Xiao Yang? Xiao Yang had nothing. He was just strong and flew bricks, wielding the things in his hand in the most primitive posture.

It could be said that even if Xiao Yang was holding not a rusted heavy axe, but a rusted big stick, a greatsword, a big hammer, no matter what he held, Xiao Yang would only get the sixty points of fixed weapon damage and the sixty points of armor penetration carried by the weapon; he would only get these fixed attributes.

There were no skills or tricks to speak of, only the purest brute force.

But this was indeed effective.

Ninety-five points of damage, plus sixty points of damage from the rusted heavy axe, one hundred and fifty-five points, plus a critical hit, three hundred and ten. Now the Black Stone Prison badge's improvement to Xiao Yang was very limited. Mainly because the Justice Consolation, which had not completed the advancement task, was rarely wielded by Xiao Yang.

As the level increased, the damage bonus from achievements was also somewhat difficult to trigger.

The level of these Vortex People was between twenty-five and twenty-seven, less than ten levels higher than Xiao Yang.

Many of the methods that Xiao Yang relied on before were gradually losing their effectiveness, and various messy skills were gradually being eliminated. Now the skills that Xiao Yang used most frequently were just these few.

Critical Strike, Decapitation, Lesser Dragon Flame, and Roar, but Roar was more of a battlefield atmosphere group.

In this situation, it seemed that Xiao Yang had become weaker, but the result was exactly the opposite.

People needed to break a stone, but they couldn't do it, so the Stone Breaking Fist was born, but Xiao Yang didn't need so much trouble; he could directly break the big stone in front of him.

With heavy force, the rusted giant axe fell heavily. With great power, these kneeling Vortex People were finally unable to continue their devout kneeling.

It was directly split by Xiao Yang's axe and fell to the ground. Struggling, this strange monster angrily turned around, and the terrifying vortex on the Vortex Person's face stared directly at Xiao Yang.

The Vortex Person's health depended on its level, but it hovered around four hundred to five hundred. In Xiao Yang's attack, nearly two-thirds were gone in one go.

Simple and crude, without any other fancy means, Xiao Yang once again raised the rusted giant axe in his hand.

The corners of his mouth suddenly pulled up, the scarlet eyes that were pulled out were particularly terrifying, and the smile in the helmet was also equally hideous.

The Vortex Person felt fear. It wanted to struggle, and pulled out a gorgeous short sword from its sleeve to try to counterattack.

But unfortunately, not only was the time for the counterattack late, but even this panicked attack was so weak and powerless.

When the raised, mottled giant axe fell again, this Vortex Person was dead.
