The negotiations with Sheen reached a deadlock, and Lei and the others had no choice but to wait patiently.
Of course, this is mainly because the mining ceremony is not far away, and we only need to wait for about half a month. They had already spent nearly three months on the road and didn't care to wait another half month.
And there is nothing wrong with this. His Majesty Void Mask is helping Heimsala to hunt down Timsal. Perhaps half a month later, He has killed the monster that has committed countless crimes and arrived in Gars City.
As long as He is here, even if they really want to fall out with the Riley family, everyone will have full confidence - Gals City may be able to deal with legendary strongmen, and even fight with demigods, but facing a true god, they can only Lower your head.
How can a mortal defeat the gods! Strength in numbers is certainly useful, but after all, there are limits.
So they simply settled in peacefully. In order to make Sheen feel sick, they even moved to the most upscale hotel in Garth City and had the most upscale hotel deliver their meals to their doorsteps - Lei directly asked them to send the bill to Master Sheen's house. Went up, and it really paid off.
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 her teacher and walked around the streets every day. Although she didn't spend money randomly, she still got some unexpected gains from time to time and often brought some surprises to everyone.
This girl is simply a natural expert at identifying things, especially with amazing intuition. More than once, she bought something that she thought was very useful even though she didn't know what it was about. After appraisal, it turned out that it was really worth the money.
Mrs. Teague took Little Nice deep into Jianju. In addition to restoring her past adventure state through training, she also took care of her little daughter.
She knew very well that there would be a big battle when the mining ceremony took place. It would not be surprising if corpses litter the fields and rivers of blood flow. Unless His Majesty Void Mask can come back in time, given the strength of the three of them, mother and daughter, life and death will only be left to luck. So she seized this last free time, hoping to spend more time with her little daughter.
After all... If something happens, Xiao Nisi is most likely to be in danger.
Whenever she thought of this, she felt so heartbroken that she almost wanted to shrink back, but she didn't after all.
Repay kindness and retaliate, this is her motto in life. Even if she has to pay a huge price, even if her body is covered with blood and her face is filled with tears, she will never give up revenge!
Lei took another student, Rank, to engage in the life of an adventurer. He seized the time and taught Rank as much knowledge as he could - how to observe the situation? How to judge the situation of the battle? How to seek good luck and avoid bad luck? How to contact adventurers? How to work out the details of the task? How to protect yourself in combat? Etc., etc.
According to Steele, he just wanted to smash Rank's head open and pour all his hard work 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 boy has limited talent and cannot learn so much."
"But he works very hard." Lei said with a smile, his eyes full of nostalgia, "Whenever I see him practicing to the point of exhaustion but showing no intention of shrinking 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 but laugh. Based on Lei's age and the scene she saw in the dream, and comparing it with the information she deliberately collected during this period, Lei's true identity was already revealed.
However, she didn't make it clear 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 her companions.
As for herself, she has been elusive all day long. The strange thing is that when she arrives in this flowery land, she is like a mouse falling into a rice vat. She should "eat", especially "eat", even if It’s not surprising that he turned into a pig that night. But she has always maintained her human form, which is really surprising.
In order to cover up the strange flames on the backs of her hands, she specially put on a pair of thin black gloves. The texture is like silk. It is actually the product of Warcraft leather treated with a special alchemical process. It is not only very tough, but also can cover the back of the hand very well to avoid attracting attention.
However... the beautiful woman wearing long black silk gloves and long black stockings can't help but attract attention no matter how she looks!
Time passed like this day by day, and the most important celebration in Gars City—the mining ceremony—was getting closer and closer.
At this time, in the vast sea, Sui Xiong and Heimsala were getting closer and closer to Timsal. Heimsala could clearly feel that the aura of the hit enemy was getting closer and closer, and the distance between them It has reached the point where we can clearly sense each other.
Strangely, Timsal didn't move. According to usual practice, because it cannot defeat Heimsala, it will actively avoid the battle and avoid a head-on confrontation with Heimsala. But this time it had no intention of escaping. It stayed quietly at the bottom of the sea, as if waiting for an old rival to come to the door and make a final settlement.
Coincidentally, on the day of the mining ceremony, the two parties finally met.
Timsar lay quietly on the bottom of the sea, looking like a huge shadow. Its huge body is embossed with countless ferocious and twisted faces and transparent skeletons that want to escape. Those are the souls that have been killed and devoured by it in the past years and want to be free, but they are all killed without exception. The power of decay pulled Timsal's body back, and he could never escape.
With just a brief look, Sui Xiong judged that Timsal's strength might not be as strong as Heimsala, but the level of power was a bit higher than Heimsala.
Hemsala is able to receive prayers and gather some of the power of faith. These powers turned into the sea water and whirlwind surrounding the core of its soul - that ray of divine power - and would be transformed bit by bit over time and integrated into its soul, allowing it to slowly progress. This approach is ineffective because it fails to truly understand and apply the power of faith.
But Timsal is different. It binds the souls of fear and resentment in its body, constantly absorbs the strong emotions they emit, and slowly swallows and absorbs the power of faith contained in these emotions. This means that it has been able to initially understand the nature of the power of faith and found a way to take the most critical step towards the gods.
Sui Xiong also noticed that there were many souls bound in Timsal's body, and many of them were filled with 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 Timsal's method, 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 acquired not long ago
The huge jellyfish narrowed its eyes, and a guess gradually emerged in its mind.
There is no need for greetings or conversations between Heimsala and Timsal. The only way for them to communicate is to fight.
When the distance between the two sides reached the point where they could attack each other, Heimsala did not hesitate to activate his power, and a golden torrent cut through the darkness of the seabed like lightning, heading straight for Timsal's huge shadow-like body. central.
Instinct tells it that it is the vital part of the old opponent's body!
Timsal's body trembled slightly, and a black air as thick as ink rose from his body, blocking the torrent. Gold and black collide with each other, constantly canceling each other out, and eventually disappear together into nothing.
At this time, Heimsala was already approaching and stimulating power, sending out golden torrents one after another.
When their strength reaches their level, all kinds of auxiliary means no longer have much meaning. The confrontation between each other has turned into a pure force offset, an extremely monotonous war of attrition.
This is the most common fighting method used by strong men with some characteristics of gods. To them, unless they are directly hit at the center of power, beheading, tail and disembowelment are nothing, and even treatment is not needed.
In their battle at this level, there are no more than two ways to fight. Either grind slowly and wear down the opponent until the opponent is exhausted, or seize the opportunity to make a lightning strike and destroy the enemy's central core with one blow.
After all, Heimsala had an advantage in strength and had Sui Xiong as a reliable helper, so it chose the most reliable and reliable method to fight a war of attrition with Timsal.
The strange thing is that Timsal clearly has no advantage, but has no intention of escaping. He is still lying quietly on the bottom of the sea, constantly emitting clouds of black energy, and constantly counteracting Heimsala's attacks.
It seems that it is willing to fight a war of attrition. I don’t know what is going on in the mind of this monster that has committed countless crimes.
"Perhaps it doesn't think about anything?" Sui Xiong, who was watching the battle from the side, secretly thought, "The guys in the chaotic camp are all a little emotional, especially the extremely chaotic and evil guys. It can be said that they are a group of lunatics who have water in their heads and cannot communicate normally. Timsal definitely belongs to the 'extremely chaotic evil' type, and 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, waiting for the battle between old rivals to end.
Or, wait for the unexpected.
But the accident did not occur here, but appeared on the other side of the distant continent, in the ashes of the forest in early spring covered by ice and snow, in the midst of intense training and preparation for the summer's pioneering work. Around Sui Xiong’s followers.
One of the most famous monsters in the Ash Forest, the terrifying legendary monster known as the "Shadow Demon King", suddenly came to attack them!
