CH 30

Rode instantly opened his soul eye, and ink-like colors diffused from the material. Dots of light began to appear in the air, and Raisin and the other two turned into glowing mist, with neural veins running through them, dazzlingly bright.

In front of them, a black shadow was evaporating, seeming to be the monster that Raisin had just shattered.

Further away, there were many such black shadows, wandering around in the thin black mist. Sometimes they would actively approach the houses on one side but jump away like frightened dogs when they touched the spirit lamp.

Rode's spirit tightened instantly, shouting, "There are still many ahead."

"Okay!"

Raisin held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. With a swing of his right hand, the folded blade snapped open with a crisp sound, and the three-inch short knife turned into a three-meter long sword. Then, he shouted loudly, and his spiritual light burst out, with layers of virtual shadows appearing around him.

He dashed into the pack of dogs.

The sudden light dispersed the already faint black mist, and the ghost-like big dogs were instantly frightened away.

But the next moment, the big dogs' eyes turned red, their mouths widened, and huge fangs sprang out from their upper and lower jaws that were completely incompatible with their body size. In an instant, they transformed from strange black dogs into terrifying monsters.

Bloodthirsty mouths bit from all sides, and Raisin swung his long sword, cutting three big mouths into two pieces. With a shield bump, one big mouth was split in half, but at the same time, four big mouths behind him bit his back fiercely.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"Be careful!"

But in the next moment, countless steel spikes suddenly popped out of Raisin's back, piercing the four big dogs like hedgehogs.

He then turned around and faced the direction where there were the most enemies.

Swish, swish, swish!

Steel spikes shot out like a storm, piercing through the black dogs in a large area.

The dead black dogs fell to the ground, and small black dots rose from their bodies, dissipating in the air. The steel spikes gradually became transparent and turned into virtual shadows, disappearing without a trace.

Throughout the battle, Aig and Karamon had no intention of stepping forward.

Karamon shouted, "Use your strength, did you not eat?"

Raisin angrily retorted, "Did Donna ask you the same thing?" He swung his knife and cut a black dog in half, but more black dogs rushed up, and he was soon surrounded.

"Aren't you guys going to help?" Rode asked hesitantly.

Aig sneered, "These gray-level demons, he can handle them himself."

Karamon's cheeks turned red, and she said angrily, "He's the best, let him do it."

Rode realized that this was a great opportunity and took out his spirit gun from his pocket, asking, "Can I attack them from a distance?"

Aig looked at him strangely. "No need, real silver bullets are expensive."

Rode knew they were expensive. He still owed money for the fifty real silver bullets. But compared to his life, this money was nothing.

"I want to practice, so I won't be afraid when I meet them again in the future."

Aig smiled, "As long as you're not afraid of wasting them, it's no problem."

Rode was determined, raising his gun.

Now he was much more skilled, with the infusion of spiritual energy and aiming happening simultaneously in one second. When the spiritual pressure reached its peak, the muzzle was also aimed at the target.

With a loud bang, the real silver bullet shot out, accurately hitting a black dog, piercing through its body and exploding from the other side.

Silver light flashed out, smashing the surrounding four black dogs to pieces.The debris scattered and splashed, falling to the ground. Perhaps due to the destructive damage, their evaporation speed was much faster. Large amounts of black dust rose up and quickly dissipated into the dark void.

This time, Rode saw clearly that four extremely thin black lines made of black dust flew out of the void and entered his heart.

Immediately, four faint lines of small characters appeared in his eyes: "Dust-like souls". If one wasn't paying attention, they wouldn't be able to see it at all.

Rode nervously watched Aig and Karamon, but they seemed oblivious and praised, "Good marksmanship, clean and neat."

"That's right, much more powerful than Raisin's useless counter-attack barrier."

They seemed unable to see... Rode relaxed, and then the second shot accurately hit the pack of dogs, taking away five black dogs.

The pack of dogs became unstable, and some of the black dogs looked over here, as if they were about to pounce, but Raisin flew over, sweeping steel needles, chopping knives, and smashing shields, instantly pulling the pack's attention back.

This hatred was really stable... Rode instantly understood the meaning of the tactical position, and quickly began to fire continuously. Every shot hit the densest part of the pack of dogs, and a large number of black lines flew out one after another, and "dust-like souls" constantly flickered in his eyes.

Aig and Karamon couldn't sit still either. The former began to blow his big horn, and every time he blew it, several white smoke flew out, piercing the black dogs. The latter waved his long whip and whipped them from a distance.

The pack of dogs was always firmly tied by Raisin and never turned to attack them once, and was quickly cleaned up.

Raisin walked back and high-fived the three of them. "A small victory."

Turning to Rode with a smile, he said, "You fired ten shots, that's seventy silver coins. Why don't you invite us to enjoy some soul therapy at the Healing Church?"

Rode was surprised, "Just seventy silver coins?"

"Huh? Is that not enough?"

Rode hesitated for a moment and didn't say his experience. He felt that even if he added a zero at the end, it still wouldn't be enough for him alone.

Raisin didn't care either. He untied the spirit lamp around his waist and raised it high.

Rode saw his hand veins brighten, obviously gathering spiritual energy and pouring it into the spirit lamp.

In the next moment, the spirit lamp emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire block.

Raisin controlled the spiritual energy and made the spirit lamp shine ten times before hanging it back on his waist.

"This is our tradition, used to tell residents that the battle is over and there is no need to panic."

It wasn't until then that Rode noticed that there were already many figures on both sides of the houses. They gradually dispersed after seeing the flash, and he could faintly hear many prayers, blessings, and words of thanks.

"Let's go."

The patrol team set off again, chatting easily as if nothing had happened.

Only Rode was anxious. Although he had just harvested many souls, he couldn't return to the dreamland. What if the star suddenly went out at this time...

Forget it, as long as I move faster, it shouldn't be a problem.

Rode put his hands in his sleeves, overlapped his thumbs, and pinched out the lightning symbol. His vision suddenly blurred, and his soul soared into the air.

In just an instant, he returned to the dreamland.

Gray and dim mist floated quietly in this vast space, and a lonely obelisk stood in the center, with a black altar standing behind it to the right.

Above the altar, more than sixty dust-like flames floated.Rode didn't have time to observe carefully. He ran to the obelisk and lightly touched its surface. The night sky appeared again, and two stars, one red and one blue, appeared before him.

Rode quickly scanned them.

The dark red star was still burning brightly with the words:

[Devourer of Darkness]

[Status: Constant Burning]

[Star Energy: Soul Erosion]

[Injection: Not Available]

[Quantification: Abyssal Darkness, Eternal Mist, Ancient Gross Blood]

[Position: Eternal Fire]

[Intensity: 30]

[Description: Illusions in dreams, supreme ideals, wings that rise sharply when falling, the only sharp edge remaining on the long sword. She was born of humanity's highest ideals and died from humanity's dirtiest desires.]

The blue star had dimmed to be almost as faint as the other illusory dots, with the words:

[Chilling Blue]

[Status: About to Extinguish]

[Star Energy: Resurrection of the Spirit]

[Injection: No Spiritual Soul]

[Quantification: Not Available]

[Position: Dim Fire]

[Intensity: 1]

[Description: We still need to love each other with our lives, even if the world deceives us with cruelty.]

Now that the translation was more accurate, Rode focused his gaze on the blue star. With a thought, more than sixty flames were instantly thrown into the obelisk, and more than sixty small meteors appeared in the night sky, flying into the blue star together.

It clearly brightened up, and the light began to boil like a burning bonfire.

The status changed from "about to extinguish" to "slightly burning," and the intensity changed from "1" to "2," slowly rising.

But the other items did not change.

Rode frowned slightly. It seemed that it still needed more souls.

[Devourer of Darkness] seemed to be much more special. It only ate one soul and turned into the [Eternal Fire] with the status of "constant burning." Afterwards, it could no longer inject souls, but it could "quantify."

But what does "quantify" mean?

Why are they so different? Is it inherent or because they eat different souls?

Rode didn't think about it carefully and quickly made a gesture. His vision blurred again, and a strong feeling of weightlessness enveloped him.

In an instant, he returned to the real world.

Opening his eyes, three people were looking back at him on the dark street, their eyes seeming a bit strange.

"What's wrong with you?"

Rode quickly released his hand and smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, I was too tired and accidentally fell asleep."

Rode noticed that there was a faint glow on Karamon's hand, and invisible ripples passed by his face. He felt a sudden boost of spirit, as if he were basking in the spring breeze.

Then the three of them smiled and walked over, hooking their arms around his neck and pulling him along.

"Sleeping is not allowed, you know."

"You have to understand that for us, that might just be an ordinary monster, but for civilians, it's a nightmare for a family."

"We are the guardians of the royal city now. The lives of 3,400 households and 21,000 people in the Iron Cross district are on our shoulders."

"Come on, let's talk about something exciting. How about the spring dreams of the Mi Pol family's Miss Mibol, one of the top ten beauties in the royal city? What do you think?"
