Chapter 13 The smell of conspiracy
"Snapped"
In the flash of lightning, I saw Nite's eyeballs instantly flashing to the end of his eyes, and at the same time as he jumped forward, two pitch-black bone claws suddenly emerged from the shadow under his feet.
With the sudden exertion of force and the cold touch, Wang Changle's body was suddenly stagnant without his fingertips even touching his ankles.
The Nite belt turned over and landed on the ground, and with one kick he landed outside the open space. The shadow area formed by the shadow under him expanded rapidly with the blessing of gray mist.
"簌猌"
The next moment, as soon as Wang Changle broke free from the shackles of the bone claws, he discovered that the bronze door full of patterns had merged with the shadows.
A pair of indescribable eyeballs quickly opened from inside the patterned bronze door, and the dense sight lines instantly collided with Wang Changle's.
"Buzz"
"Click~"
Their eyesight intertwined, and multiple mental powers instantly clashed, contended, agitated, and exploded in the forest.
Suddenly, the gas explosion spread, soil flew in all directions, and the shock wave caused the slaughterhouse building to be filled with cracks.
Inside the shadowed bronze door, most of the indescribable eyeballs were annihilated.
Nite, who had successfully counterattacked, saw Wang Changle holding his head and retreating, and a hint of cruelty suddenly appeared in his pupils full of anger.
He grabbed the shadow under his feet with one hand, the bronze door closed, and the shadows converged.
The next moment, a black skeleton covered with bone spurs appeared in front of Nite.
"howl!"
The night fell at the right time, and the entire mountain forest fell into darkness. The black-thorned skeleton suddenly raised its head to the sky and roared, and the violent soul aura spread like a wave.
Although Wang Changle's ears did not hear any sound, his soul 'felt' the impact, which was the painful wail of thousands of souls.
In the blink of an eye, the thousands of roaring soul sounds consumed most of the spiritual energy in his body. After being frustrated one after another, a coldness appeared in his eyes.
"Tsk, it seems that there is something wrong with the information that Smith guy gave me... No, maybe someone in the church doesn't want me to come back alive."
Wang Changle recalled all the details of the battle in his mind. Faced with the attack of the Black Thorn Skeleton, he retreated again and again, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.
Only then did he suddenly realize that from the beginning of the war to now, this old guy's nerve reflex speed and overall physical fitness have improved.
Or perhaps the terrifying spiritual energy that erupted was far beyond the level expected of a Sequence 6 Necromancer.
"Clang!"
At the moment when Wang Changle was slightly distracted, the black-spurred skeleton, who looked at the right time, immediately stepped forward and hit his chest with his right fist covered with bone spurs.
The sound of gold and iron clashing erupted, and the tremors under the muscle memory not only did not cause him any harm, but the bones of the black-thorned skeleton that sacrificed his life were shattered by the shock.
"Buzz"
However, the tight pain in his chest also made Wang Changle retract his thoughts instantly. He looked up and saw the Black Thorn Skeleton, charging out again.
As the gas explosion spread, the black shadow squirmed, and the skeleton arrived in front of Wang Changle in an instant, suddenly stepped forward and kicked him straight to his throat.
Almost at the same time, the turbulent shadows were also squeezing in from all directions.
"Defensive stance*7"
Wang Changle sensed that there was no way to escape, so he subconsciously activated the defensive shield, and the golden claw knife hidden in the flesh and blood came out in response.
With a "clang" sound, most of the shield collapsed, and the claw knife also penetrated the throat of the bone-spurred skeleton.
But within an instant, the 'wound' on the bone-spurred skeleton quickly recovered. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally discovered the true face of this monster.
This black-thorned skeleton does not have an entity, but is an existence that is spliced and condensed by thousands of souls and the power of shadow. Those bone spurs are just the product of the compression of shadow energy.
"Boom boom boom"
As soon as the Black Thorn Skull came forward, the bone fists were like a pile driver, and the shadows from all directions also came in, turning into shadow cages, giving Wang Changle no chance to counterattack.
In just a few seconds, the light shield condensed in front of him collapsed layer by layer, and the Black Thorn Skull's attack became more and more fierce.
"Click"
At the moment when the last layer of shield shattered, Wang Changle, who only defended but did not attack, suddenly jumped forward.
The hooked claws caught the bone-spurred skeleton's shoulder blades the moment they hit it.
The elbows moved downwards, pressing against the joints where the force was exerted, and the arms dragging the bone-spurred skeleton retreated quickly, all in one movement.
"簌猌"
The next moment, countless fine emerald light chains fell down instantly, and sank into the body of the skeleton along the legs that were kicking on the ground, absorbing the source.
When Wang Changle looked at Nite again, he saw that the old guy had already erected a psychic barrier. He didn't have the slightest panic about the Black Thorn Skull being captured. Instead, he was carefully sketching out some ritual on the ground.
For a moment, Wang Changle's eyes became more alert, and he had a vague premonition.
If this old guy is given time to complete the ritual magic, it will be difficult for him not to expose his abilities other than mental power.
Rather than being forced to be exposed, it is better to kill with one blow.
When he thought of this, Wang Changle's eyes instantly became sharp, murderous intent surged, spatial fluctuations appeared on the Eye of God lens, and the speed at which his men absorbed the source accelerated again.
"Dimensional airspace, activate!"
"Praise the Lord of the Underworld. I know why a righteous sect like the Church of the Night would accept the 'Imaginary' path as a night watcher. You are just an abandoned child."
The moment Nite caught the change of emotions in Wang Changle's eyes, a hint of mockery suddenly appeared on his ferocious face.
If the Zhengshen Church could accommodate the existence of non-church channel personnel, the low-ranking members of their Spiritual Religion Group in recent years would not have suffered heavy casualties, so much so that they now have to rely on senior deacons to support the scene.
"Oh, may the crimson moon protect you."
As soon as Nite finished speaking, a joking sigh came from his ears, and his pupils shrank.
Looking up at Wang Changle who suddenly appeared above him and the long bow that stretched across the full moon, his eyes were full of horror.
At the same time, Nite's vision fell not far away from the corner of his eye. He saw that the black-thorned skeleton he had recruited from the spirit world at a great cost and was responsible for containing the enemy had already become a prisoner under the emerald light chain.
"Boom"
The hand is loose and the string moves.
The translucent spiral cone arrow instantly broke through the barrier, and Nite's body was immediately pierced by the sharp edge.
Black and red blood splashed all over the ground, but Nite, who was the path of death, did not die immediately.
"咻咻"
On the contrary, as soon as the movements of the ritual drawing by his hand stopped, countless mysterious patterns emerged from the body surface, spreading and growing.
Wang Changle looked at the clumps of spirits floating in the forest, after they continued to pour into Nite's body and managed to maintain the remaining vitality.
After he harvested the life essence, he looked at Nite's fingertips stained with blood, stepped forward and kicked him, crushing his heart immediately.
"quick"
The next second, a pale substance separated from the minced meat and merged with the bone cross. The complex and mysterious patterns suddenly appeared on the bones, and the paradise prompt sounded.

....
"Gan, you are really the 'gatekeeper' of Sequence 5. Bishop Edward, you are really good."
After Wang Changle put away all the trophies, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, with a dangerous look in his eyes.
In this battle, if Bo Xunzhi's desire had not been naturally restrained against summoned objects, he would have skipped the battle of attrition and hidden most of his combat power.
Once Nite completes the ritual magic, he will really suffer a loss this time.
Wang Changle stared at the flesh and blood scattered on the ground, thinking about Nite mentioning Vion Smith's information twice in succession after he broke in, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
Obviously, this guy not only has a clear division of the areas protected by the major churches in Tingen City, but also knows the current situation of the Church of the Goddess of the Night.
Even when he stationed troops here, he was all prepared to deal with Vion Smith, but he was surprised by his own appearance.
In other words, Nite did not understand the current situation and information in Tingen City, and he thought of the scene he saw at the city gate yesterday.
Wang Changle can now confirm that the Church of the Night has known about the existence of Nite for a long time, and also knows the opponent's sequence and even the destination.
It's just that Tingen City has never found a way to break the situation, so it chose the strategy of strict investigation and defense.
If he didn't show up, and Nite was allowed to continue to grow and expand, as long as this guy stopped the railway traffic, there was a high probability that Tingen City would be captured.
After thinking about all this, Wang Changle not only had many more thoughts about the Church of the Night, but also became more and more interested in the NEETs of the Spiritual Religion.
You must know that according to Senior's description, the existence of each pathway sequence 5 is an important cornerstone of all church organizations.
As long as he develops normally, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the level of demigod.
If it is not necessary, this kind of serial being will never do such a thing deep behind enemy lines.
This means that infiltrating and capturing Tingen City is extremely important to the Spiritual Religion Group, or there is something in Tingen City that the Spiritual Religion Group must seize.
Both of these, no matter which one they are, represent huge benefits. Wang Changle subconsciously licked his lips, excitement spreading and boiling in his heart.
"Buzz"
Thinking of this, Wang Changle looked at the full moon hanging high outside the gray fog. With a slash of the claw knife in his hand, he immediately cut off most of Nite's body and put it into the space.
After ensuring that the side mission 'Goddess Trial' could be completed, he activated the [Nightmare Mask] ability on the flesh and blood scattered on the ground.
"簌猌"
The black velvety tentacles spread and fell, and flesh and blood proliferated on the body surface, but the body size decreased rapidly.
Wang Changle instantly became as stooped as a bow, his face as pale as paper, the breath of the dead came out of his body, and his pupils turned white.
On a pair of hands as ferocious as eagle talons, the joints were distinct and the suede skin was covered with corpse spots. A series of dark and painful memories suddenly appeared in his mind.
.....
Tingen, Zoetlandstrasse, end of the street.
The bright moonlight scattered, and the streets lost the loud chanting of yesterday's bards and the joy of the birthday party, and became increasingly deserted.
Among the rows of villa courtyards, only the second floor of the courtyard, which had been dilapidated all year round, was still lit at this time.
Lily, who was dressed in black gauze, walked through the long street step by step. After unconsciously glancing at the figure who was writing furiously under the oil lamp, a bottle of green potion flew out of her sleeve.
"Gah~"
Just when the potion was about to fall into the courtyard, a crow suddenly dropped from the roof, grabbed the [Mandrake Resurrection Potion] and flew away into the distance.
The doomed doll hidden under the black gauze raised its head and glanced at the crow, its sewing eyes trembled.
Driven by spirituality, it subconsciously fed Lily the [Powerful Invisibility Potion] and quickly headed towards the Raging Tide Pier.
And the crow soaring under the moonlight, after circling the city of Tingen, opened and released the medicine bottle when passing by the Church of St. Selina.
"Snapped"
"boom"
With a crisp sound, the medicine fell right on top of the statue of the Goddess of Night on the white square, and the black and green medicine dripped down, infected and fused.
A few seconds later, the statue of the goddess of the night came to life. Wearing a skirt, it jumped and walked towards Beswick Street.
Chapter completed!
