219: Another wave rises

"Hurry up. The Holy See's pursuers are coming!"

Old Miller rushed over, but seeing the two corpses on the ground, his face turned pale with shock. "How is this possible?"

"Attack!"

Xu Le naturally wouldn't explain to him; the two guardians of light pounced forward.

Old Miller spread his hands, magic power surging, and an invisible wind swatted the two guardians away.

"A mere one-month-old Son of God, die!"

With a casual wave, Old Miller conjured a violent gale, looking like a peerless great demon.

At this moment, he was like a maddened bull, eyes bloodshot, charging straight at Xu Le.

Instead of retreating, Xu Le advanced, taking three quick steps and swinging his staff.

Old Miller's movements slowed as he reached out, an invisible barrier rising to block the staff.

Xu Le wasn't in a hurry at all; the two guardians of light had already pounced behind Old Miller.

"It's useless! Two mere Puppets can't save your life!"

Xu Le ignored him completely and continued chanting incantations. Soon, two more guardians of light jumped out.

They used their shields and light swords to hack at Miller, while Xu Le continued chanting.

"You... you knew!"

Old Miller's expression changed drastically. He was the Formation Demon, and his ability to block the guardians' attacks relied on the Formations pre-engraved on his body.

He had used this move earlier to swat away the guardians of light, hoping to scare Xu Le into retreating into a deadly Formation he had set up beforehand.

Unfortunately, the opponent gave him no chance at all, not even the opportunity to get close enough to activate the Formation.

"Impossible, the Son of God isn't this smart!"

The Formation Demon was unwilling, but now that his identity was exposed and the magic power of the Formations on his body was being consumed, he couldn't hold out much longer.

"I'll be back!"

The Formation Demon spat out these harsh words and crushed a teleportation scroll in his arms.

A surge of spatial fluctuations passed, and the Formation Demon teleported 20 kilometers away.

He suddenly felt something was wrong and realized he had two extra "attachments."

Two guardians of light were hacking at him with their light swords.

"Ah~ How did you get here?"

He began to recall; it seemed that after he finished his harsh words, two guardians continued their attack while the other two dropped their weapons and pounced on him, grabbing his legs!

So, the one who screwed him over was actually himself!

...Xu Le walked up to the Succubus and first cast a Holy Light Dispelling Spell from a distance. Seeing no reaction, he summoned two more guardians of light to start hacking at the Succubus's corpse.

Two strikes, four strikes, six strikes... "Ah~" The Succubus popped up. "Aren't you a priest of the Holy See? Why are you desecrating a corpse?"

Xu Le chuckled. What kind of corpse jumps up and resurrects? How could he not know if the opponent was dead or not?

Although killing demons didn't grant experience points, even a gain of 0 would trigger a notification.

Already heavily injured, and after a barrage of hacking from the guardians of light, the Succubus died!

[Experience +0]

A shiny object popped out.

Xu Le quickly stepped on it, pretending to tie his shoelaces while putting the item directly into his Contract Space. Only then did he have time to check it.

[Item] succubus heart

[Grade] legendary grade

[Item Details] A heart nurtured by a Succubus throughout her life, possessing extremely strong charm abilities. After sufficient spirit refinement, it can be activated once to enslave creatures with spirit lower than 3000 points.

"This thing is pretty good!"

Xu Le picked it up, feeling overjoyed. He then walked over to the Skinning Demon's corpse and ordered two guardians to step forward and hack at it.

After two minutes, the small corpse was almost minced into dumpling filling. Xu Le then opened the System notifications and realized he had missed one earlier.

"Serves you right, dying without dropping anything!"

After cursing, Xu Le chased after the Formation Demon.

Perhaps sensing his approach, the opponent activated another teleportation scroll and appeared even further away.

Sensing the distance of the guardians of light growing further, Xu Le shook his head. Just as he was about to head back, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

Looking towards the gaze, under the shade of a tree in the distance, a dark figure was watching him with blood-red eyes.

"A Vampire!" Xu Le's eyes lit up, and he beckoned the two guardians to chase after it.

In the dense forest, Xu Le walked for who knows how long but failed to catch up.

Seeing the sky grow darker, a bright moon hung over the treetops.

"Quack, quack..."

Amidst the rising and falling cries.

Over a dozen Vampires flew over and surrounded Xu Le.

Among them were men and women, each exceptionally handsome or beautiful.

It wasn't that Vampires had better beauty genes, but rather that they only chose to transform those who were handsome men or beautiful women.

"Priest, this is not a place you should be."

"Oh. Then I'll leave!"

Xu Le nodded and turned to leave, but his path was blocked by two Vampires.

The two laughed loudly, revealing their stark white fangs.

"Hahaha, shouldn't you say 'Heretic, accept your judgment'?"

"Hey, don't say that, I'm actually scared!"

"How could you not be? That sentence has been whispered in us Vampires' ears for centuries; it's practically ingrained in our bones."

"No, I won't be afraid. I want to eat his gallbladder to supplement my own courage."

"Then come at me!" Xu Le sneered. Seeing that they weren't moving, he directly cast the Perfection-level Holy Light Illumination.

A powerful white light burst from the tip of the staff, instantly illuminating a large area of the forest.

Some weaker Vampires rolled on the ground, lacking even the strength to flee.

Even the Vampires blocking the way felt terrified at this moment, even regretting why they had provoked Xu Le.

However, a few Vampires launched a counterattack, turning into black shadows and charging straight through the white light.

[Holy Dispelling Spell!]

A surge of white light rose, and the Vampire at the front instantly turned to ash.

The Vampires behind weren't sad; instead, they thought it was a good thing. Charging faster, they believed they could reach the priest.

Joseph thought exactly that. He rushed to Xu Le's side at top speed, thinking that with just one bite, they could obtain divine blood, increasing their strength by one or even two levels, and they would never have to fear the sun again.

Bat Transformation!

To increase his success rate, he transformed into a swarm of bats, surrounding Xu Le. As long as he got one bite, it would be a success.

[Holy Light Illumination]

The white Holy Light rose once more. The surrounding Vampires never expected such a turn of events, and one by one, they were roasted into ash.

Especially in the circle around Xu Le, a thick layer of ash was left behind.

The most miserable was Joseph; because he had used Bat Transformation, he was completely turned to ash.

"How can he be so strong?"

The surrounding Vampires were unwilling to retreat but didn't dare step forward to help, standing frozen in place.

Awooo... The sound of wolf howls echoed, followed by the sound of "rustling" footsteps. Clearly, they were approaching in a pack.

Xu Le saw the leading Wolf King. With just one glance, he felt it was domineering, cool, and handsome—the perfect choice for a pet wolf.
