Chapter 477: Chapter 331: Sain Always Only Has BAD END

When Fingerley and the others were discussing how to break through the monsters surrounding the Church and relay the Church’s message to the boy outside.

Leon and his group also devised a plan targeting the boy.

"Boss, that Fingerley is too annoying, didn’t even say a word and just started fighting!"

After finding the resurrected Leon at the kitchen bonfire, Maru couldn’t help but complain angrily.

The Onion Knight continued to snore by the bonfire, making people wonder if he’d sleep forever. He was probably the most unique residual shadow the adventurers had ever seen.

"I think he didn’t mean any harm; his mind was just in a mess temporarily and couldn’t think of a better solution."

Leon said understandingly, but in his heart he thought: If someone showed me the footage of me making a scene back at my hometown that day, I wouldn’t admit to being the one with a hand on my dad and the other on my sister, laughing awkwardly.

Everyone has those embarrassing days, truly understandable.

"Hmph, no matter what, next time we meet, I’ll make faces at him." Maru said viciously, "Really humiliate him."

I don’t think your humiliation is that harsh...

"But boss, wasn’t it the fight with Fingerley that attracted the monsters just now?"

Leon pondered, and indeed, their brawl in the streets naturally drew the monsters’ attention, and they even united momentarily to take down those attracted monsters before resuming their fight.

A Sun Warrior and a Dark Moon Sword, both had great martial ethics.

Drew said, "While we were cleaning the battlefield earlier, we picked up the Pope Knight’s leg armor and crown."

Leon pondered for a moment and said, "But we don’t have the other parts, just these two aren’t enough."

"But we do have the Fire Execution Witch’s armor and hand armor," Maru said. "Maybe we can give it a try? Did the kid specifically say we had to stick to the same set of equipment? We assumed it ourselves earlier that it had to be the gear from the same monster."

"...I have no hopes for this."

However...

"Can I really have it? Thank you so much!"

From behind the door on the east avenue, the boy’s happy voice could be heard.

Could it really work!?

Leon and the group exchanged glances, surprised that a simple attempt had succeeded!

"Thank you all, now I can sneak in among those bad guys to find my brother, thank you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Maru couldn’t help but ask, "It’s really dangerous here, do you still want to find your brother?"

"Yes! No matter what, I must find him and bring him home!"

Maru glanced at Leon, and with his approval, she said, "How about we act as your bodyguards? Escort you to find your brother."

She was moved with compassion, and perhaps they could trigger a new residual shadow mission.

But the boy sincerely said,

"No, thank you, brother and sister. You are good people. I can’t trouble you any further. It’s dangerous here. I’ll tell you a shortcut through the big iron gate, but could you not continue to explore past that, please? It’s really scary behind the gate."

No matter how Maru persuaded, the boy didn’t accept their offer to be his bodyguards.

In desperation, Maru knocked on the wooden door, only for a solid protective shield to light up, followed by the alarmed voice from inside.

"Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry, please don’t be angry with me, I..."

This softened their hearts, and the Strategy Group, feeling helpless, could only leave the equipment outside at the boy’s request.

"Thank you all, I will definitely leave a message on the door once I find my brother!"

"This is my thanks and the shortcut map, please don’t venture too deep into Yilushier, kind brothers and sisters."

The door opened a crack, and a pale hand swiftly placed something outside.

[Special Blue Worm Pills]

[Pills made from ground insects, temporarily significantly increase the user’s resistance to magic-infused attacks]

[Originally an elixir made by Yilushier’s slaves, its effectiveness greatly enhanced by the boy’s brother but with a shorter duration]

[The pill is filled with his love for his family, thus making it unique to only them]

And [a rough map with the shortcut drawn].

"I hope you can safely find your brother," Maru said with concern.

"Thank you, sister, I definitely will!"

Leon carefully examined the map, while Maru led the group to hide in an alley, observing the boy’s house, wanting to see if he’d come out.

"I see, from the west side of the iron gate, there’s a hidden path. Following it leads to a cemetery, and passing through the excavated graves allows entry to the plaza surrounded by the iron gate and railings."

They truly hadn’t noticed that path before; without the boy’s information, they probably wouldn’t have found it in days.

After waiting for about half an hour, the boy didn’t come out to retrieve the equipment, and Maru sighed, leading everyone away towards the hidden path marked on the map.

The entry to this path was hidden among many trees and between buildings. Similar gaps were everywhere in Yilushier, no wonder they had overlooked it.

Passing through this path, which could only accommodate one person at a time, they arrived at the so-called cemetery, immediately stunned by the sight ahead.

The numerous tombstones were neatly arranged on the open ground, nearly reaching triple digits as far as the eye could see. The tombstones were covered by a thick layer of snow, and Leon chose one to brush off the snow.

"....Can’t understand."

The tombstone was inscribed with unknown characters, but fortunately, after he stared at it for a while, translated magical script considerately appeared above the unknown letters.

"Knight of War Noguyelan, you dedicated your life to Yilushier. To commemorate your contribution, Pope Shalivan erected this tombstone for you, wishing your soul resting outside finds peace."

He looked at a few more tombstones and found that, except for the different professions and names of the tombstone owners, without exception, they were all erected by Pope Shalivan.

"Looking at it this way, Shalivan seems to be quite decent." Tal said.

"No, think again, Tal," Maru pointed out a blind spot, "The tombstones only mention that Shalivan erected them, but they don’t say who they died for."

Who did they die for? If not for Shalivan’s orders, the Knights of War wouldn’t have died outside.

But the adventurers didn’t know why Pope Shalivan had sent the Knights of War out, nor what Shalivan was trying to do, so it wasn’t good to hastily criticize.

So, what was Shalivan sacrificing so many lives for?

Just as people were lost in thought, a beast-like growl came from the cemetery, radiating danger.

"It’s the Knights of War."

Leon drew his weapon and aimed it at the Knight of War, who had turned into a beast, its limbs twisted and exuding cold air. They had encountered such monsters too often and had summarized their combat tactics.

As expected, the battle lasted less than ten minutes before coming to an end, resulting in a victory for the strategy group.

But what puzzled them was that this Knight of War was actually...weaker compared to those they’d encountered before?

It was like it was in pain all over and couldn’t control its body, frequently showing openings, like a suit of Knight of War equipment with nothing genuine inside.

"Yay, a light point dropped."

Maru excitedly went over to pick up the light point, muttering to herself, "Could it be the Irythill Straight Sword? That thing’s been selling dearly lately."

The Irythill Straight Sword, with a very low chance of dropping from the Knights of War in the Casas Underground Tomb, had quickly gained popularity due to its excellent weapon quality, feel, and powerful freezing enchantment.

Furthermore, the Irythill Straight Sword was divided into three versions according to the attached War Ash, namely the most common [Ready Stance], the rare [Ice Fog], and the [Frozen Frost Step] that only a deputy commander of the Light Eagle Group, Sali, was rumored to have obtained.

Sali had demonstrated the effect of Frozen Frost Step in public, arousing universal envy. Everyone wanted Frozen Frost Step, leading to surging Knight of War deaths.

Unfortunately, until now, a second Frozen Frost Step had not emerged, and even Ice Fog remained scarce.

The light point transformed into a small box in Maru’s hands, and she looked slightly disappointed, but when she opened it——

[Special Blue Worm Pills]

"It’s just Blue Worm Pills."

Maru pouted and casually stuffed the pill into her pocket. These little items weren’t worth splitting; whoever picked it up kept it.

"Boss, let’s go..."

Her voice suddenly grew softer and softer, eventually widening her eyes and looking at the "Knight of War" that was gradually turning to ash on the ground, then at the special Blue Worm Pills in her hand.

"Ah! We’re in trouble!"

She tossed the Blue Worm Pills to Leon and turned to run in the direction of the little boy. Leon initially wanted to ask what she was doing, but when he saw the prefix [Special] on the Blue Worm Pills, he immediately realized something.

Could the Knight of War they had just taken down actually be the mutated boy’s brother?

Wouldn’t that mean the boy’s quest to find his brother was doomed to fail?

Leon glanced at the graveyard and followed Maru with his team. Actually, Maru didn’t dare run too fast either, fearing she couldn’t handle a monster alone if separated from her teammates.

It’s just the life and death of a residual shadow, which doesn’t affect the living, but Maru is the kind of person who immerses herself in the stories and cares about the residual shadow’s outcome.

"Boom!"

Just as they were about to approach the little boy’s house, a pillar of fire suddenly rose from under Maru’s feet, and the small figure was instantly consumed by flames.

"Cough, cough, another Fire Execution Witch? I thought we killed them all!"

She rolled out of the flames in time, her entire body blackened, but it didn’t matter; once she finished off the unknown monster——

"Ah..."

Maru suddenly froze.

Because that "Fire Execution Witch" hadn’t hidden but stood glaringly in the street, in front of the little boy’s door.

More accurately, that being shouldn’t be called a Fire Execution Witch.

Its height had to be halved as if it was an undeveloped child. The armor and hand armor were from the Fire Execution Witch, but the leg armor and head crown were from the Pope Knight. This mix-and-match had no aesthetic, only bizarre.

It held the Fire Execution Witch’s magic wand in one hand and the Pope Knight’s Great Curved Sword in the other, radiating an aura stronger than the original two monsters.

Without a doubt, this is an Elite Monster.

It saw Maru but didn’t recognize the little blackened figure. However, it did recognize Leon, who arrived shortly after. A muddled voice emerged from a face dried up like an Animated Corpse:

"Big brother..."

The Elite Monster, [Sullivan’s Undead] appeared.
