Banner of the Evil God

The negotiations with Sheen were at a stalemate, and Lei and his team had no choice but to wait patiently.

Of course, this was mainly because the mining ceremony was not far away, and they only had to wait for about half a month. They had already spent nearly three months on the road, and they didn't mind waiting for another half a month.

And there was nothing wrong with this. His Majesty the Void Mask was helping Hemsara hunt down Timsal. Perhaps in half a month, He had killed the monster that had committed countless sins and came to Gars City.

As long as He was there, even if they really had to turn against the Riley family, everyone would have enough confidence - Gars City might be able to deal with legendary strongmen, and even fight against demigods, but facing a true god, they could only bow their heads.

How could mortals defeat gods! Although having a large number of people is useful, it has its limits after all.

So they simply stayed there with peace of mind. In order to disgust Sheen, they moved to the most upscale hotel in Gars City and asked the most upscale restaurant to deliver three meals to their door. Lei directly asked them to send the bill to Master Sheen's house, and it was actually paid.

It is undeniable that as a prosperous place, the level of enjoyment in Gars City is indeed far from that of Jinta City. At least in terms of living conditions, everyone is very satisfied.

Liv took the pocket money given by the teacher and strolled around the street every day. Although she didn't spend money recklessly, she could still get some unexpected gains from time to time and often brought some surprises to everyone.

This girl is simply a natural expert in identification, especially with amazing intuition. More than once, she bought some things that she didn't know what was going on, but she thought they were very useful. After identification, it turned out to be worth the money.

Mrs. Tig took little Niss to go out and stay at home. In addition to training to restore her former adventurous state, she took care of her little daughter.

She knew very well that there would be a big battle when the mining ceremony came. It would not be surprising if corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river. Unless His Majesty the Void Mask could come back in time, with the strength of the three of them, life and death would be left to luck. So she seized this last leisure time, hoping to spend more time with her little daughter.

After all... if something really happened, the possibility of little Nis being in danger was the greatest.

Whenever she thought of this, she felt so heartbroken that she almost wanted to retreat, but she didn't after all.

Her motto in life was to repay a favor and to avenge a grudge. Even if she had to pay a huge price, even if she would be covered in blood and tears, she would never give up revenge!

Lei Ze took another student, Rank, to live an adventurer's life together. He seized the time to teach Rank as much knowledge as possible - how to observe the situation? How to judge the battle situation? How to avoid danger? How to contact adventurers? How to consider the details of the task? How to protect yourself in battle? And so on and so forth.

According to Steele, he wanted to smash Rank's head open and pour all his efforts into it, so that this kid could be reborn overnight and become an outstanding knight.

"Why are you so attentive to Rank?" She once asked privately, "That kid has limited talent and can't learn so much."

"But he works hard." Lei said with a smile, his eyes full of nostalgia, "Every time I see him practicing to exhaustion, but he has no intention of retreating or being lazy, I think of myself back then."

"Oh? Your talent was so poor back then?"

"... No, I was called a genius back then."

Steele couldn't help laughing. Based on Lei's age and the scenes he saw in his dreams, and comparing them with the information she deliberately collected during this period, Lei's true identity is about to be revealed.

However, she didn't point it out after all. Since Lei himself didn't want to say it, there was no need for her to make it clear. This was a tacit understanding between companions.

As for herself, she had been elusive all day long. The strange thing was that she should have eaten a lot in this place, just like a mouse falling into a rice jar. It would not be strange if she turned into a pig that night. But she kept her human form, which was really surprising.

In order to cover up the strange flames on the backs of her hands, she put on a pair of thin black gloves. The texture was like silk. In fact, it was the product of Warcraft leather processed by a special alchemical process. It was not only very tough, but also could cover the back of the hand well to avoid attracting attention.

However... a beautiful woman wearing long black silk gloves and long black stockings could not help but attract attention!

Time passed day by day, and the most important celebration of Gars City - the mining ceremony - was getting closer and closer.

At this time, on the vast sea, Sui Xiong and Hemsara were getting closer and closer to Timsara. Hemsara could clearly feel the breath of the destined enemy getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was to the point where they could clearly sense each other.

Strangely, Timsara did not move. According to the usual practice, because it could not defeat Hemsala, it would actively avoid fighting and avoid direct confrontation with Hemsala. But this time it had no intention of escaping at all, and stayed quietly at a place on the seabed, as if waiting for its old rival to come and make a final settlement.

Coincidentally, on the day of the mining ceremony, the two sides finally met.

Timsar lay quietly on the seabed, looking like a huge shadow. Its huge body was covered with countless hideous and twisted faces and transparent skeletons that wanted to escape. They were the souls that had been killed and devoured by it in the past years and wanted to be free. But without exception, they were pulled back to Timsar's body by the corrupt power and could never escape.

With just a glance, Sui Xiong judged that Timsar's strength might not be as strong as Hemsara's, but his level of strength was higher than Hemsara's.

Hemsara could accept prayers and gather some of the power of faith. These powers turned into sea water and whirlwinds around its soul core - that ray of divine power - and would transform little by little over time, merge into its soul, and make it progress slowly. This approach was inefficient because it could not truly understand and use the power of faith.

But Timsar was different. It bound the souls of fear and resentment in its body, constantly absorbing the strong emotions they exuded, and slowly devoured and absorbed the power of faith contained in these emotions. This means that it has been able to initially understand the essence of the power of faith and found a way to take the most critical step towards becoming a god.

Sui Xiong also noticed that there were many souls bound in Timsar's body, many of which were emitting extremely violent resentment. This means that they have been bound for a long time, but have not been absorbed. This is somewhat unreasonable, because according to Timsar's practice, those souls should be absorbed by it in a short time.

Perhaps... the means of absorbing the feelings of resentment and fear and transforming them into faith was something it had just acquired not long ago?

The huge jellyfish narrowed its eyes, and a guess gradually emerged in its mind.

There was no need for any greetings or conversations between Hemsara and Timsar. Their only way of communication was to fight.

When the distance between the two sides reached the point where they could attack each other, Hemsara did not hesitate to activate his power. A golden torrent cut through the darkness of the seabed like lightning, and went straight to the center of Timsar's body, which was like a huge shadow.

Instinct told it that it was the vital part of the old opponent's body!

Timsara's body trembled slightly, and a thick black gas like ink rose from it, blocking the torrent. The gold and black collided with each other, constantly offsetting each other, and finally disappeared together.

At this time, Hemsara was already approaching while urging his strength, sending out one golden torrent after another.

At their level of strength, various auxiliary means are no longer meaningful. The confrontation between each other has become a simple force offset, a monotonous war of attrition that cannot be more monotonous.

This is the most common fighting method for strong people with some characteristics of gods. For them, unless they are directly hit in the center of power, it doesn't matter whether they are beheaded, tailed, or disemboweled, and they don't even need treatment.

In battles at their level, there are only two ways to fight. Either grind slowly and grind the opponent to exhaustion, or seize the opportunity to launch a lightning raid and destroy the enemy's core with one blow.

After all, Hemsara had the advantage in strength, and with Sui Xiong as a reliable helper, it chose the most reliable means to fight a war of attrition with Timsara.

Strangely, although Timsara was not in an advantage, he had no intention of running away. He still lay quietly on the seabed, constantly emitting black gas, and constantly offsetting Hemsara's attacks.

It seemed that it was willing to fight a war of attrition. I don't know what this monster who had committed countless sins was thinking in his mind?

"Maybe it didn't think about anything?" Sui Xiong, who was watching the battle on the side, thought secretly, "The guys in the chaos camp are a little emotional, especially those extremely chaotic and evil guys. They can be said to be a group of lunatics who can't communicate normally. Timsara is definitely a type of 'extremely chaotic and evil'. I'm afraid it doesn't have normal thinking at all. Using logic or wisdom to analyze its actions is just hurting your own head."

He calmed down and waited patiently by the side, waiting for the battle between the old rivals to end.

Or, waiting for an accident.

But the accident did not happen here, but appeared on the other side of the distant continent, in the Ash Forest in early spring covered with ice and snow, and beside Sui Xiong's followers who were training and preparing for the summer's development.

One of the most famous monsters in the Ash Forest, the terrifying legendary monster called "Shadow Devil", suddenly attacked them!

On this occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, I wish you all good health, smooth work, abundant financial resources, step-by-step promotion, academic progress, career success, all the best, and all your wishes come true!
