In the transformed brain, the sound of the temple's mind control over the angels kept sounding, but Lin Chi, as a player, completely ignored those guidance and was simply enjoying the battle.

After using the armor forged by the blacksmith, he broke through the apprentice angel level, and he and the blacksmith can be said to have fought back and forth, to be exact, the blacksmith who was still overwhelmingly superior a minute ago has fallen into disadvantage at this time.

The black iron sword forged by the blacksmith himself tore through the burning skin of the forger, and the blood that spurted out evaporated in the flames, and the blacksmith roared angrily and wielded the war hammer to unleash the whirlwind slash, but at his current speed, he could no longer cause any damage to Lin Chi.

Bang!

The wind of nearly 1,000 degrees struck the blacksmith, and under the gaze of the two ghostly fires in the skull's eye socket, the "trainee angel" with the lava armor embedded in his chest suddenly left the ground and was suspended in the air five meters above the ground, a pair of bright red wings burst out from his back, and the wings kept twisting as if they were burning.

"That's you...... Kill them......"

Seeing Lin Chi's new form, the blacksmith covered in bruises seemed to remember the unbearable past again, and the war hammer in his hand danced wildly, like a storm, making Lin Chi completely unapproachable.

- This thing is completely insane.

Suspended in mid-air, Lin Chi dodged to the right, using maneuvers similar to those of a fighter dogfight to avoid the flames that erupted from behind him.

The pair of wings he gave birth to should be the effect of the "Soul of Glory", Lin Chi didn't know how long the effect would last, but he knew very well that even if he didn't unlock the ability to fly, the current blacksmith was just dying.

"Come on......"

Magma-like blood surging in his body, Lin Chi leaned on the flame wings to levitate in the air of the workshop, condescendingly looking down at the blacksmith below, opening his arms and waiting for the blacksmith's final blow.

Now, the outcome of the boss battle can be said to be doomed, and unless the blacksmith can use some hidden killer moves, it is impossible to turn the tables around.

"Let me see what you're really capable of......," Lin Chi stared at the blacksmith wielding the warhammer indiscriminately.

After the complete reversal of the battle, he did not choose to finish his opponent directly, but adhered to the "Soul of Glory" to give the blacksmith the opportunity to use a killing move. The furious blacksmith was also unequivocal, directly reaching out and grabbing a piece of metal armor inlaid on his shoulder, and pulling it down hard.

Blood gushed out from the deep bone-visible wound like a fountain, and the blacksmith pressed his left hand against his wound, smearing the blood on the hammer, which burned into a crimson hammer and suddenly turned into a dull black.

- This guy's casting process actually used his own blood?

Lin Chi, who had never seen this kind of forging method, opened his eyes slightly, watching the blacksmith raise the war hammer in his hand again, and two flames erupted from the ground in front of the blacksmith's body, scorching the huge war hammer and imprinting the blood in the metal.

The blacksmith took a step forward, his hands clenched on the handle of the hammer and struck sideways, the movement of which looked like that of a golfer. Seeing that the other party was ready, Lin Chi also pointed the tip of the black iron long sword at the burning skull of the blacksmith.

Rumble!

More than a dozen pillars of fire lit up from the workshop, making the already scorching air even more frenzied, and the workshop seemed to turn into a volcanic crater about to erupt.

In the "lava" in the sky, the two began to meet for the last time.

Lin Chi flapped the flame wings behind him, and the whole person suddenly swooped down, swinging his sword and stabbing at the blacksmith's bone-only head. The blacksmith swung his hammer and turned sharply, striking a furious "home run" at the attacking angel.

At that moment, time in the workshop seemed to stand still.

The muscles of the blacksmith's whole body were exerting force, and the joints in his body erupted into a series of crackling sounds, and the blood-forged war hammer drew an arc, which had already arrived in front of Lin Chi. At this time, the long sword in Lin Chi's hand had also arrived less than a meter away from the blacksmith's head.

The decisive blow of the two will decide the winner in 0.5 seconds, and now it seems that it should be a lose-lose situation. But it's clearly not that simple:

The wings behind Lin Chi dragged his body up suddenly, returning to the air with incredible acceleration. This blow was originally just a feint to lure the blacksmith, but the enraged blacksmith hit it a real blow.

The hammer made a semicircular arc in front of the blacksmith, and the dark red flames covered the position of the hammer in an instant, and because the force of the blow was too great, the blacksmith's body was also carried forward to "translate" three meters away, and he could not immediately recover the hammer.

This is just one mistake, and it has already decided his end!

Click!

The black iron sword, also forged with blood, stabbed into the blacksmith's head, leaving a crack in the side of the skull, and the blacksmith's body was crooked, and the warhammer flew out of his hand, smashing several armors around him.

At the last moment of his life, the defeated blacksmith laughed again, fell to his knees weakly, and asked the final question:

"Tell me, are you a rebel too?"

"That's right." Lin Chi nodded, and his body, which had been suspended in mid-air, finally landed, standing in front of the blacksmith and preparing to give the other party the final blow.

"I can feel it...... Your will ......" The blacksmith, who had fallen into madness, suddenly came to his senses, and the burning skull hung down, like a death row prisoner waiting to be executed:

"May you destroy this temple, warrior."

"I will." Lin Chi said and swung his sword.

The moment he swung his sword, all the flames in the workshop were extinguished.

……

The boss battle "Templar Blacksmith" has ended, and it took 5 minutes and 24 seconds.

Congratulations to the player "Reverse Current" for breaking the record for the fastest kill of this boss in Advent mode!

You earn the achievement "Conqueror in the Crucible!" ”。

Your level has been raised.

With the appearance of the upgrade prompt, Lin Chi's attribute value also skyrocketed again, his strength and agility directly reached sixty points, his endurance also reached fifty-eight points, and his luck value was fixed at thirty-six. Compared to the sad situation when I first entered this map, it was like being reborn.

When the text prompt at the end of the boss battle popped up, the flame wings behind Lin Chi resurfaced again, and the bright light dispelled the darkness nearby, and also reflected the strong body that fell to the ground motionless.

After enduring countless tortures, the blacksmith who was transformed by the temple finally ushered in the long-awaited death, and he could finally rest in peace, but Lin Chi's battle was not over, to be exact, his battle had just begun.

Lin Chi, who completed this boss battle, got a hint of "leveling up". He picked up the blacksmith's massive hammer, swung it, and tossed it aside.

Even if he can hold it now, the size of this hammer is beyond the standard, and if he walks out with this war hammer on his back, his stealth ability may be affected.

Lin Chi looked at the black iron long sword in his hand, perhaps in order not to hinder the boss battle, and it was not until the battle was over that the introduction of this weapon finally appeared in his sight:

Blood Coagulation, Sword of the Templar Forger:

Melee weapons.

Item Class: Epic.

This weapon can pierce through most armor.

"Obtaining a weapon forged from the blood of a temple blacksmith is the lifelong wish of many angels."

Lin Chi hung the long sword on his waist and began to carry out the routine looting after the battle.

He found an inconspicuous metal box on a piece of armor around the blacksmith's waist, opened it and took out a silver key from it, and the description of the item immediately popped up:

Library Key:

This key is used to open the secret door to the library.

"The key to the temple blacksmith's private possession, which is said to lead to the lair of the opposition, did not hand over the key even after witnessing the killing of his wife and children."

- So, in the library where I went, there were hidden "opponents" who opposed the temple?

Lin Chi stuffed the key into his pocket, felt that the air was a little stuffy, took off the apprentice angel's helmet and threw it aside, reached out and touched his face, but what he touched was not human skin, but a scorching "lava block".

What has become of me?

He can't see what he looks like now, but judging from this feeling, the current "Long Knife Tim" has almost completely departed from the category of human beings and has become a real "angel".

Is this what is called "evolution"? If it continues to evolve, what will become of this body?

Sorting out the information he had received from the temple, Lin Chi turned around and left the blacksmith's workshop and strode down the stairs to prepare for the library.

On the spiral staircase, which had no cover, he encountered two men dressed in apprentice angel light armor. But this time, when the two guys saw Lin Chi, they leaned against the wall almost immediately, making way for Lin Chi, and at the same time did not forget to bend down respectfully, as if they had met a superior leader, with a humble look:

"Welcome, Archangel."

- So you become an archangel? Isn't your "angel" too low?

Lin Chi complained frantically in his mind, but on the surface he was still silent, and walked down the stairs without saying a word, leaving the two apprentice angels behind, and returning to the door leading to the monster's bedroom.

Lin Chi, who had seen the real "demons" in Sodom City, knew very well that these creatures that appeared in the temple could not reach the level of genuine angels at all, and they were not pure-blooded demons. As for the origin of these creatures, including myself, it is necessary to continue to investigate.

Putting away the flame wings behind him, he slipped lightly from the monster's bedroom, and Lin Chi returned all the way to the location of the library. This time, the servants who were busy in the library were even more humble, and their heads were about to hit the ground, so they were about to kowtow to Lin Chi.

"Archangel! You have deigned to come here! Welcome to the Library! ”

Lin Chi ignored these inconsequential monsters, and just began to search through the stacks, looking for a location that could be unlocked with the blacksmith's key.

- Are there really opponents hiding in such places?

In Lin Chi's opinion, hiding in a library where people often come and go is not a wise choice. However, the word "supposedly" is also used in the description of the item, and it is not directly stated that this key can unlock the lair of the nay.

This key unlocks something else. In the way opponents hide information, it may be hidden behind the frame of the "Smiling Lady......

I recall the last time I was about to take off the frame, but was interrupted by a trainee angel who suddenly came. Lin Chi returned to the portrait of the smiling lady, took off the oil painting that was smiling at himself, and sure enough, he found a keyhole.

The key on the blacksmith's body was to open this secret door. The space inside the secret door was extremely small, and it was not a nest of opponents at all, only a notepad with a blood-stained cover appeared in the depression inside the secret door.

There is no doubt that this notepad contains very important information, otherwise it would not be worth the blacksmith's life to guard.

Lin Chi looked around, and after making sure that no one was nearby, he took out his notebook and put it in his pocket, closed the secret door and hung the portrait back, found a table in the corner of the large library, and began to read the contents of the notepad with the help of the flickering fire emitted by the candlestick on the table.

As his gaze wandered, the words on the dry paper continued to come into view, and the terrifying truth that was hidden under the surface finally began to appear in front of him:

"Hello, if you can see this text, please don't give it to the angel."

"You may not know what happened in this temple and how filthy it is now. Don't be fooled by the appearances here, those so-called 'angels' are not messengers from heaven at all, but cruel soldiers created through bloody means. ”

"The temple was built by Duke Figner, a generous philanthropist whose original desire was to provide a shelter for the poor and refugees. And he did, and he did it well. ”

"Thanks to the efforts of Duke Figner, the Temple became a small, self-sufficient 'state', and all the people in the Temple worked hard, whether it was farming or raising livestock, by the refugees in the Temple. Originally poorly clothed and hungry, they finally got a chance to survive through labor. ”

"The temple at that time was indeed worthy of its name, and for all of us, it was truly a sacred realm."

"Duke Figner was not only a philanthropist, but also a famous explorer who, in his advanced age, had the whimsical idea to find a way to live forever."

As a resident who has been accepted into the temple and has been living in the temple. I can fully understand Duke Feigner's thoughts and support his efforts to find a path to immortality. After all, for all of us, this duke can be said to have given us a new life, and it is a good thing that such a good man can live longer, not only for us, but for the whole world. ”

"Duke Figner left the temple and began to search the world for a way to immortality. We didn't know it at the time, and the nightmare was about to begin......"

"Until that day, when he brought back the 'angels.'"
