Chapter 374: Chapter 318 First Encounter! ’Sister Huan’ Tione

Watching as one of his companions was decapitated and smashed to the ground by a single sword strike, the other two Dragonized Soldiers momentarily stood in stupor.

Then the Dragonized Soldiers charged, swinging their weapons wildly, and the sounds emitting from their dragon mouths were like the roars of someone frantic and defeated.

And what met the Dragonized Soldiers was my Ring Maiden Theotania, who would not be defeated a second time, raising her sword.

"Lion Slash!"

She unleashed Lion Slash after Lion Slash, bursting forth with 100% of her strength, but the Undead, unlike Lind, could not exert Absolute Control over their bodies, so they would feel a wave of muscle-tearing agony.

From the Undead’s perspective, using the skill continuously would cause loss of Health Points, and due to the overwhelming power of the skill, their arms could randomly enter a disabled debuff state.

The continuous Lion Slashes, without any lead-up or recovery delays in combat, made the battle exceptionally easy, and he could feel the joy of taking on three foes alone.

Until the final strike successfully cleared the elite Dragonized Soldier’s Health Points.

"Awesome!"

He exhaled.

He marveled at how the efforts he had made recently had not been in vain, for a good worker sharpens his tools first.

After searching the corpses of the three Dragonized Soldiers for possible loot, my Ring Maiden Theotania looked toward the direction she was to go next.

After circling a tower and climbing for a few minutes, the familiar scenery outside surprised my Ring Maiden Theotania.

"Hey, isn’t this the same route I came from?"

A shortcut!

Not far ahead was the camp.

It turned out that the day’s journey I had taken was actually just a twenty-minute walk if one looked down from above.

Everything else must be blamed on the walls of the Royal City being built too high; even with the skill "Flame Wing," the Undead couldn’t fly high enough to reach that height.

And not to mention the Volcano Monster Bird; not only were the beasts terrified into immobility by the ubiquitous BOSSes around here, but even if it could manage to carry the Undead aloft, daring to show itself would get it shot full of holes.

"In order to get us to explore every inch of the land, The Officials really put a lot of thought into limiting flight," he mused.

Having discovered a shortcut greatly lifted the Undead’s spirits, and he decided to continue exploring.

Jumping down from a high place could save time. Before taking action, my Ring Maiden Theotania thought for a moment, gazing at the fierce spray of flames in the distance, then looked towards another, relatively quieter area.

It seemed that a church was at the end of that area.

...

When my Ring Maiden Theotania arrived at the church after two days of relentless fighting, he almost wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

All the potions on him had been used up, and his supplies were running low.

But his quiver was filled with various materials which, if used to complete quests, would earn him a large reward. Not only that, but he had even acquired a few weapons that seemed quite formidable.

Dragon Transformation is a Curse, and some Soldiers found their bodies and weapons fused together, giving the weapons an exaggerated and terrifying lethal power.

Like the Dragon Transformation Greatsword he now held in his hand, from a Dragonized Soldier who had used a Two-handed Sword.

The Soldier’s dragon tail and Two-handed Sword had nearly grown together, and when my Ring Maiden Theotania accidentally sliced through the tail at the wound, she obtained this cumbersome Greatsword.

In fighting the Dragonized Soldiers, the Dragon Transformation Greatsword proved particularly effective, able to more easily rip through their defenses.

He ascended the stairs.

Strapping the Greatsword to his back.

He pushed the heavy door open with his hands, and the massive door made a grinding, rumbling noise under the force, as if the surroundings suddenly fell silent in that moment.

My Ring Maiden Theotania held his breath and observed the interior of the church intently, feeling a strong premonition that there might be a BOSS fight.

The absence of any sound left him somewhat disappointed.

He walked into the church, thinking there might be something inside worth exploring.

The flickering candlelight within the church indicated that people had always been living here.

"Is anyone there?" He grasped the Dragon Transformation Greatsword with both hands and pricked his ears, carefully listening for footsteps and the rustle of the wind—one of the skills of playing the game.

Some say that those who fear pain and are cowardly will never excel at this game, and he firmly agreed with this statement.

Though pain was hard to endure, it could help one learn skills and even rapidly gain experience in battle. The techniques of this world did not come from a "ding" sound; that was merely a reminder. The true increase in proficiency still had to come from oneself.

Learning to cancel the delays before and after an action by oneself was the real way to play the game. Otherwise, whether playing as a Knight or a Wizard, one could only stand still and dish out attacks.

"Is anyone there?" He called out again.

This time, there was a slight movement.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a nun with her back to him, maintaining a posture of prayer. However, the object of her prayer was not a holy image.

The Undead had gotten mostly familiar with the Sun’s Testament, the Knights of the Apocalypse, and such, recognizing them on sight.

The nun was praying to a painting on the wall.

The painting depicted a scene of communion between the Sun’s Testament and the Knights of the Apocalypse, known as "The Holy Words."

Thus, he immediately dismissed his previous assumption; the nun was not praying to the painting but to the air, to a certain belief in her heart.

Before he could say "My Ring will not lose," a golden crescent arc of light suddenly appeared behind the nun’s head.

Upon closer inspection, it was not a crescent arc, but a ring, which was currently in the state of a new moon.

Then, her name lit up in red.

[Ring Maiden Theotania, lv40]

[Health: 40000/40000]

"Huh?" The Undead’s astonishment.

The nun turned around, her demeanor as serene as a water lily, with a delicate face.

But more than describing a woman’s beautiful appearance, the Undead now had to raise the Dragon Transformation Greatsword in his hands. She had turned red, and he had to respond.

Running away was not an option. He’d have to try and fight first.

"Traveller from afar," she spoke, her voice soft and with a strength that reached straight to the heart, "are you sure you want to raise your blade against me?"

My Ring will not lose clenched his teeth as he prepared to dodge and observe her combat style.

"I’m very curious about stories from the outside world, but alright," Sister Huan raised her right hand.

It was a ranged attack!

My Ring will not lose was delighted; Wizards were his favorite opponents, and the church hall was not spacious enough for her to escape.

He ducked and surged forward toward Sister Huan, then executed Lion Slash.

His style of fighting without delay had given him the edge in many battles, but she suddenly disappeared and reappeared in another part of the church.

A Wizard with teleportation skills!

He couldn’t prevent her from casting magic, but thankfully, Sister Huan’s method of attack was just controlling the books inside the church to fly at him. He quickly rolled and dodged, and if he could not avoid them, he would lift the Dragon Transformation Greatsword to block.

The robust Undead instantly regretted it the moment the books touched the Dragon Transformation Greatsword.

The books, appearing to flutter slowly, carried tremendous force and blasted him away.

After rolling on the ground twice, My Ring will not lose stood up. Not losing any health in a 1V3 against Dragonized Soldiers, but being flung onto his backside from a book thrown by Sister Huan resulted in a loss of one-third of his health bar!

The Undead knew what was coming next. The disparity in levels was too great, and not even skills could bridge the gap. But it wasn’t a big problem because he had already called for reinforcements.

And he would persist, striving to relay the information he had gained.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Ring Maiden Theotania reached behind her head and grabbed the ring that was quickly expanding, finally turning it into a golden Longsword entirely composed of runes.

The next moment, all he saw in his vision was the sword’s light, nothing else.
