Simon was the first time to encounter an opponent who used a whip, and found that the attack of this soft weapon was difficult to dodge or block, and the damage was good, Simon originally hoped to use two skeletons that only relied on instinct to block the attack of the horned skeleton, but the horned skeleton didn't care about the life or death of the two skeletons, and a few whips turned them back into bones, and Simon had to endure the stormy attack of the bone whip.

At this time, Simon's teammates, Hinckley and Vanessa, finally broke free from the influence of fear.

Sinclair ran a little far, and when he saw Simon, he immediately ran back to him, and shouted loudly.

"Simon hold on, don't fight with it, just hold it off, I'll be there right away."

Unlike Hinclak, Vanessa noticed her current form and immediately focused on preparing to cast her psychic abilities. Vanessa first showed herself the "bouncing technique" to give herself a powerful jumping ability, and then spread her own psionic energy throughout her body, using a unique psionic technique - psionic sprint, which will give Vanessa the ability to change direction and dash at high speed in a short period of time. After that, Vanessa seems to be transformed into a cheetah riding the wind, returning to the battlefield at a terrifying speed. Like a falcon soaring in the air, Vanessa took advantage of her speed and jumped straight to the roof next to her, where she could obviously have a better angle to shoot.

Vanessa skillfully bent her bow and arrows, squinting slightly at the figure of the Horned Skull and Simon fighting.

Now is the time.

Vanessa's fingers loosened, and the arrow flew past Simon's ear, striking the horned skeleton's right shoulder, hitting the shoulder blade accurately.

Seeing that the horned skeleton was tilted by the arrow, unable to maintain its balance, Simon saw the opportunity, turned his wrist, and picked the bone whip in the horned skeleton's hand and flew out.

The horned skeleton that lost the bone whip panicked and wanted to escape, but was hit by a "shattering sound wave" from Simon, who had been waiting for this moment, and the bones that were full of cracks caused by Simon's attack before were shattered on the spot by the high-speed vibration sound wave, and the horned skeleton collapsed directly to the ground, unable to move.

In order to save spells and stamina, the Horn Skull was given the final blow by Hinclave, who arrived later, and only his hammer could completely shatter the Horn Skull's hard bones.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a monster here, even I haven't seen it."

Hinclair said with a little shame.

Originally, this battle could have been easily resolved, but because of negligence, the defenseless Hinclair was feared, causing Simon to fight the Horned Skull alone, otherwise under Hinclave's giant hammer, the Horned Skull would have been reduced to bone slag.

Hinclair took out the healing potion from the dimensional pocket he was carrying close to him and handed it to Simon.

"For this operation, I prepared a lot of healing potions and put them in my dimensional pocket along with other things, so I don't have to worry about our supplies."

"That's good, I wonder why you didn't even bring a package, so that's the case."

Simon drank the potion for minor injuries and felt that his injuries were slowly improving.

After resting in place for a while, the crowd continued to the central square.

Simon's curiosity about the horned skeleton was not satisfied until he read an illustrated book of the Dead in the future, when he knew what the opponent they were up against today was.

"At the bottom of the army of the Doom are the Eternal Overseers, who have animal-like heads, most of them horns, they wear armor, they can use low-level death-like magic, and they use bone whips to drive cannon fodder forward. Not only can they command the undead around them, but they can also strengthen the combat power of these undead creatures. They are an important part of the army of the dead, serving as a messenger of orders from above, without which the army of the dead would be a mess. ”

Simon was particularly impressed by the description of the creature in the book.

"I consider this undead creature to be one of the most terrible slave owners in the world, for even death cannot escape its drive, its whip crosses the line between life and death, and I can hear the agonizing wails of the soul under the whip and its cruel murmur: 'Death is no excuse for rest.'" ”

Back to the present, Simon and his party had a smooth journey, and soon arrived at the central square of Silver City, where the Temple of the Sun was located. The square is circular in shape, with a fountain in the center, but now it has dried up, and tall buildings sit in an orderly manner around the square, and what once seemed to be an important administrative center area is now only ruined.

From the outside, the Temple of the Sun is made of white marble, and the exterior of the temple is full of reliefs and statues, and compared to the surrounding wreckage, the temple has hardly been damaged and still looks very majestic. And as Sinclair said, there were no undead creatures around, they seemed to be dispelled by an invisible force. The crowd didn't waste much time observing the temple, and after a quick look, they began to look for Aphrodite's whereabouts.

"That's it."

Simon pointed to a building directly across from the temple, with wooden doors inlaid with iron scales.

"It's you, come in."

Hearing the movement outside, Aphrodite, who came out to check, said.

A few people entered the warehouse, which contained a large amount of baled and stored hay.

"Hello, Miss Paladin, I'm Hinclair, the president of the Brotherhood of Steel."

"Fortunately."

Aphrodite replied coldly.

Even Simon could tell that Aphrodite seemed to have a faint hostility towards Sinclair, and Vanessa was about to blow up her hair.

"Miss Paladin, we should be meeting for the first time, did I offend you in any way?"

Sincley asked politely with a smile on his face.

"No, it's just ...... Sorry, I'm not in a good mood and I'm slacking off. ”

True or not, Simon decides to believe Aphrodite's answer, otherwise the conversation will not continue, and I believe that Sincley thinks the same way.

"I wonder what Miss Paladin knows about the nearby Sun Temple?"

"Just call me Aphrodite. If you are here to enter the Temple of the Sun, then there is no need for us to test each other, for I would like to go in and find out. ”

Aphrodite replied earnestly.

Simon and Vanessa looked at each other in surprise.

"That's great, why don't we exchange information and discuss next steps?"

"No problem."

Later, under the accounts of the two of them, the people's impressions of the Temple of the Sun became clear, most of which was told by Aphrodite, who had carefully investigated the information of the temple in order to enter the temple and read the precious books of divine arts.

The Sun Temple in Silver City is one of the largest Sun Temples in the world of Elthoth, and its full name is "Sacred Light Fire Source Temple". The temple can accommodate 40,000 people for religious activities, it took 637 years from design to completion, the temple is all made of white marble, it has a peculiar shape, there are a large number of pointed arches, pilasters, flower window lattices, there are more than 100 minarets, like a dense Tallinn piercing the sky, and each spire has a pattern of sun or flame, the whole shape is full of the sense of rising to the sky. Because of the involvement of countless designers over the past 600 years, the temple architecture is extraordinarily ornate and exquisite, a rare work of art, and when the temple is bathed in sunlight, it will appear dazzling, as if the sacred flame is burning, magical and magnificent.

Because it served as an otherworldly portal, it is still well preserved, and now the portal inside the temple seems to be closed for unknown reasons, as if the temple has been reawakened. As for the internal structure of the temple, Aphrodite only knew that there was a treasure vault and a large library, of which the treasure vault was underground, and the large library should be visible from the right hand side of the altar along the stairs, and the detailed details of the interior could only be discovered by the eyes of the people.

And, of course, the skeleton that defeated Hinclave, which, according to Hinclair, is not made up of a traditional skeleton, but is made of flowing silvery liquid metal, most likely demonized or sanctified mercury. Not only is this material highly resistant to physical hits such as slashes, piercings, and blunt hits, but it also emits highly toxic mercury vapor at high temperatures, so it should never be used against fire spells. And this mercury skeleton is good at empty-handed fighting, and every punch and kick has great power, because it is composed of fluids and has no joints, so its attacks are also extremely weird and difficult to defend. The good news is that this skeleton doesn't kill easily, and as long as you leave the temple, it won't chase anymore and seems to just stay here.

"That's right, this mercury skeleton doesn't look like an evil undead, but rather like a guardian of the temple, but unfortunately we can't communicate with it, and it seems that a war is inevitable."

Aphrodite felt sorry for this.

Everyone also felt the same way, because this mercury skeleton was so difficult to deal with, and after thinking about it for a long time, everyone still didn't have a good way to deal with it.

"Maybe we can use one or two people to entangle it, taking advantage of its fact that it won't pursue those who leave, and hold it down as much as possible, while others take the opportunity to enter the temple."

Vanessa came up with an idea.

"No, I think we need books in the big library more than treasures. You want to find a way to purify this land, and I want dossiers of the mysteries of the arts, which will not be available anytime soon. Besides, wouldn't the mercury skeleton give priority to those who entered the temple? Just because it shows mercy to those who enter the hall doesn't mean it won't kill enemies who go deeper, and we can't afford to take risks lightly. ”

Aphrodite vetoed.

"I think the key to our entry into the temple should be Aphrodite's."

Simon said to everyone.

"Why?"

Aphrodite was puzzled and tilted her head slightly to look at Simon.

"When it comes to the temple, people's first reaction is the priest and the holy knight, since the mercury skeleton is guarding here, it means that it may be just a guard, not the owner of the temple. In other words, if we can prove that we are qualified to enter the temple, or even make the temple functional, wouldn't we be able to enter without any problems? ”

"What do you mean?"

Aphrodite seemed to understand something, and Simon continued.

"Yes, Aphrodite, only you can do it, and that is to perform a technique or magic that only you can use as our pass."
