Chapter 2 A Reflection of the Spirit

Walking through the two huge doors of the church, Vince finally said goodbye to the gloomy wind, but the whining of the wind could still be heard inside the church. The inside of the church was dark, but the church itself seemed to be in disrepair, and the wall on the upper left had broken a small opening, and the faint light that came through the small mouth made Vins move forward step by step with this faint light.

Considering that the Darkhorn Cat may not be completely dead, Vins did not dare to directly light the fire. He had been walking along the main road through the main gate of the church for a long time, but he still did not reach the end, and the open space on both sides of the main road should have been the chairs on which the believers sat in prayer, but at this moment there was nothing but the huge stone pillars that supported the church.

Vince moved forward step by step, and the empty church was filled with only the sound of his footsteps and the wind outside, except for the darkness that seemed to swallow everything. Going deeper and darker, Vince's heart was in his throat, after all, there could be a Darkhorn Cat coming out of the darkness and biting his throat at any moment!

Seeing that the only light source in the church was getting farther and farther away from him, Vins could no longer see the situation under his feet, so he took out a fire fold and lit it.

"Anyway, this life was given by Uncle Aiwen, and I died here today to save their daughter, and I deserved to die!"

"Bang!" The sound of the fire fold lighting sounded in this church that was unusually quiet except for the wind, and it sounded so abrupt that the clothes behind Vince were instantly soaked with cold sweat, as if countless eyes in the darkness instantly looked at him. The light and heat of the fire fold quickly spread in Vince's palm, and after making sure that there was no abnormality, he held the fire fold high and alertly observed the situation around him.

With the lighting of the fire fold, the surrounding situation was finally clearly seen by Vins. There were no chairs for the congregation to sit on in the open space on either side, only piles of strange bones. This is the grave of the monsters!

Seeing this, Vince couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the bones made the atmosphere even more weird, but it was already certain that the Darkhorn Cat was indeed here to wait for death! Two steps forward, Vince saw more skeletons, the bones were scattered on the ground, and it seemed that the monsters did not pay attention to courtesy to their predecessors when they greeted the end of their lives here.

Suddenly, Vince found a lump of jet-black fur in the open space in front of him on his right, and he looked at it, and it was actually a dark horned cat!!

Vince's hand shook violently in fright, but reason quickly gained the upper hand at this point - the Darkhorn Cat hadn't pounced at such a close distance, and it had already died nine times out of ten! Thinking of this, Vince quickly calmed down and observed the Darkhorn Cat.

The Vikehorn cat now "stands" in the church in a strange pose: its two front paws are crossed from the ground on its forehead, and its two hind paws are supported on the ground like a human, as if it is praying sincerely. Although it was almost certain that the Darkhorn Cat had died in front of his eyes, the sight of this monster that had easily torn the throats of many monsters in six days made Vince's throat feel cold. Swallowing his saliva, Vince steadied the short sword in his right hand and walked towards the Darkhorn Cat with the fire fold.

Let's die honestly...... Don't cheat the corpse...... Vins prayed silently in his heart as he slowly moved towards the Darkhorn Cat. The dark and shiny fur of the Vitthorned Cat shimmered eerily in the light of the firebreaker......

When he was less than a meter away from the Darkhorn Cat, Wins mentioned that the heart of the throat and eyes was finally relaxed, and no matter how weak the living Darkhorn Cat was, he would not be indifferent to him at this distance. Vince crouched down and placed the fire fold on the ground, and carefully touched the Darkhorn Cat, the terrifying monster had lost its body temperature. It just died here in a strange position.

"Ness!"

Even though he knew he was still in an eerie environment, Vince couldn't help but celebrate. In the past six days, he has been full of shit luck, first he met an old and dying Darkhorn Cat, and then the Darkhorn Cat took him all the way into the forest away from human activity. Although deeper places mean more danger, the Vittangled cat seems to be very familiar with the terrain of this generation, and has followed Vince along the way to basically no situations that he can't handle. Now this vignette cat actually "sits" on the spot by himself, he doesn't even need to take the risk, and the vignette powder is delivered directly to his home.

I must be dreaming...... While doubting his life, Vins quickly took out the file and the active box, grinding off the vignetting powder and putting it into the box.

Despite the cat in its name, the Vittangled Cat is very large, one size smaller than the tiger, and one of its two horns is the size of a palm. The strength is low, and the tools are rough, Vins can't directly cut off the horn and bring it back, but can only grind a little powder. Even so, the hardness of the five-star monster's body was still beyond Vins's imagination, and after grinding for a long time, he only got a little bit.

"Rustle...... Sand ......"

I don't know how long it was, but Vins, who had a sore arm, stopped to rest for a while.

"Hasn't the physical enhancement I blessed myself with just now been removed?" Only then did he remember that when he entered the enchantment just now, the effect of strengthening the physical body with soul marks was forgotten because of the ecstasy of pie falling from the sky, no wonder he could grind for so long.

Vins hurriedly canceled the enhancement effect, so as not to consume too much mental power. But as soon as it was canceled, a wave of drowsiness and dizziness from the inside out spread like a tidal wave to Vins's limbs.

"No, no...... Can't sleep. Al... Elmer, yes, Elmer is waiting. No...... No...... Pour here. Vince tried to stand up and move to sober up, but before his waist could straighten up, he fell to the ground with a weak thud.

"Elmer...... Aylmer...... Waiting... Waiting for me ......"

Vince's godless eyes stared at the faint light of the church dome, and the hideous darkness around him slowly and silently overwhelmed him, and he slowly lost consciousness in the repeated struggle of reason......

......

Vince walked in the darkness unconsciously, only for the faint noise in his ears.

I don't know how long it took to walk, but Vins was finally able to hear what the noise was in his ears.

It was a voice that couldn't hear its gender, its age, and it murmured, "Hokles...... Hocles ......"

"Hokles...... Hocles ...... "Vince repeated unconsciously in his mind.

The murmur in his ears became clearer and louder, like the whispers of demons, causing Vince's chaotic consciousness to slide uncontrollably into the bottomless abyss.

Suddenly, a light lit up in the never-ending darkness and shot at Vins!

"Ahh

The moment Vince opened his eyes, an extremely bright light appeared in this world, and the darkness quickly melted away like residual snow!

Vince, who had just woken up, felt an indescribable, irresistible torrent of terrifying power. As soon as he looked up, he saw a blue sword like the sun floating in the air, and that sword carried a light that Vince could not look at directly, and slashed at him!

The light pierced through Vins, and Vince's shadow, the last piece of darkness in this world, finally melted away, and the whole world was dominated by light! Every ray of light in the world was raging in Vins's body with terrifying energy, like a boiling sea! Vince felt every inch of flesh and blood in his body shouting: "Hocles! Hocles!" The crazy will that the light possessed almost tore Vins apart!

"Ahh He gasped for breath, and it took him a few seconds to make sure it was just a dream, and that he was sitting on the ground right now, and the church was still in front of him.

"That'...... What is that......" Vince held his forehead with his slightly trembling right hand, and couldn't help but recall the sword in his dream with deep fear. He had never felt such a powerful and deep power, and even the five-star powerhouse Moric had never brought him such an unacceptable sense of oppression.

After sitting on the ground and recovering for a long time, Vince came back to his senses from the shadow of that nightmare. For now, it's the right thing to do now to get the vignette powder back.

"I hope I don't sleep too long. “

If he loses vignetting powder due to lethargy, Vince even wants to kill himself on the spot. He patted his face and turned to look for the corpse of the Darkhorn Cat to continue grinding. At this turn, Vince could no longer take his eyes off him.

It seemed to be noon, and several beams of sunlight were shining straight down from the glass and holes in the dome, as if by providence, and the sunlight gathered in the air and shone on the ground in the center of the church not far away. There was a sword slanted on the ground, it was a long sword with a blue body and a head made into a fire pattern.

It's the sword in the dream......

Great fear overwhelmed Vins, his face rapidly turning white, and his whole body trembled helplessly. He tried to escape, but his legs didn't listen to him. Vince buried his head helplessly on the ground, and the despair of his dream was awakened again.

"Don't kill me...... Don't kill me......" Vance lay on the ground trembling, his eyes glazed over.

"I can't die, yes! I can't die! Elmer is still waiting for my medicine!" At the thought of Elmer, Wince seemed to be injected with great courage, and his whole body finally stopped shaking helplessly like an ear of rice in the wind. But when he thought of the medicine, Vince remembered an even more desperate thing, it was already noon, and the soul mark of the Darkhorn Cat was long gone.

It's gone!

The pain exploded in Vins's heart, and this man who had overcome obstacles in the past seven days and didn't even care about his life almost shed tears at this moment. With difficulty, he turned his head to the place where he had worked hard last night, praying in his heart for God's mercy.

As if the gods were really moved by Vins's sincerity, he turned his head and saw a fire fold that had long been extinguished, a dark horned cat without two horns, and a file, a short sword, and an active box neatly arranged on the side. Vins ignored the strange sword, and grabbed the activation box as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He cautiously opened the activation box, which was full of vignetted powder from the Vignette, and the tiny fragments of his soul lit up and disappeared in the box as if they could breathe.

"The gods are above!"

Wens, who is not very religious on weekdays, can only believe that everything is arranged by God at this moment, and with tears in his eyes, Vins stood up. Once he cried, he didn't care so much about the sword. He couldn't understand this church that was full of weirdness, but he didn't want to understand either. He's still alive, Vignetting powder is still in his hands, and that's more important than anything else. Vince shoved the box into his arms, didn't even look at the sword, and rushed to the church door.
