Chapter 38: The Judgment Priest, Veronica

Monsters won't be interested in treasure chests, and Lin Youzang is relatively safe here - as long as there are no contestants to cause trouble.

"The most dangerous place is also the safest place."

Here you can observe the movements of the witches and hide from the dangers of the swamp.

Because of the Whisperer, he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

He was going to wait here until dawn, or for an opportunity.

As long as one contestant comes here and lures the monsters inside, he will be able to sneak in without a hitch......

Night fell, and it was the evening of the third day.

Lin You squatted in the grass, although he couldn't move, he could clearly see everything that was happening outside.

There were no swamp creepers, no whispers lingering in the ears, and the silence of the witch camp was terrible late at night.

I don't know how long it took for the door of the stone house to finally be opened.

Lin You woke up.

A shadow monster crawled out of it, followed by a second, a third, and more and more...... Dozens of shadow creepers passed in front of him.

Then, they were followed by the witches.

Their bodies were gray, not much different from the priests they had seen before, except that there were no decorations on their heads, and the straps on their bodies were even more tattered, and they were even poorly clothed.

But they still walked forward without care.

The last one to appear is the "prayer priest" Anna.

[Anna is the youngest of the three priests, excellent and intelligent, once, because she presided over the festival of the Eternal Sect, she was chosen by the high priest of the Shadow Sect and officially became a witch.

But now she has been eroded by the shadows and turned into a four-star monster.

Even so, Anna did not forget the festival, and every night, she drove her servants to recreate that glory on Black Cloud Island. 】

……

Quietly watching the monsters leave, Lin You finally waited for this moment.

Now, there should only be one four-star monster left in the stone house, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Without hesitation, he lifted his disguise, slipped into the stone house, and found the altar according to the previous map.

The candles flickered in the hall, and then he saw the third priest.

[Four-star "Judgment Priest" Veronica, the chief of the three priests, the priest in charge of judgment and execution.

Unlike the other two priests, Veronica is a dangerous opponent with a knack for melee combat, stealth and assassination. 】

……

Veronica, the "Priest of Judgment", was standing in front of the altar at the moment, with her back to the doorway, as if praying.

There weren't any other monsters around, and the huge venue seemed to be specially prepared for battle, so Lin You didn't have to worry about being harassed by other contestants.

The monsters haven't spotted him yet, and now is a good time to sneak attack!

After holding it back for so many days, I can finally vent to my heart's content.

"Gigantic! Launch! ”

Lin You pulled out the blade of greed and took a few steps forward tentatively, but the other party did not react, and there was no trap nearby.

He quickly controlled the orcification of his legs, so that the leg muscles were strengthened in an instant, full of wild explosive power, several times thicker than before.

Then he rushed over with a burst of speed, locked, swung his sword, and stabbed the sin priest in the back!

"Die!"

[While the Sneak Attacker's Tooth effect is active, Attack is increased by 50% when the enemy is not detected, and Critical Strike Chance is increased by 50% when attacking an enemy from behind.] 】

"Uh!!"

Veronica let out a dull, painful moan.

The backstab is obviously working very well.

Lin You didn't dare to slack off, his other arm turned into a sharp claw, and he continued to pursue with the dagger.

The hint says that Veronica is good at stealth, so take advantage of the fact that you can still see her and seize the opportunity to output with all your might!

Every time Lin You slashed, a wisp of black mist would float out from the opponent's wound, but it would heal immediately.

So, Lin You attacked at full speed and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the monsters who were best at melee combat.

The altar was brightly lit, and a man and a monster were fighting silently here.

The claws and blades flew up and down between the sizes, and the light and shadow continued to rotate like the sun and the moon, and for a while, the sword light danced in the hall, and the murderous aura was fierce.

Veronica was caught off guard at first and suffered heavy losses, and then she was constantly pursued and suffered a lot of follow-up damage.

Later, he finally tried his best to get rid of the decline, used two daggers, and had a fierce confrontation with Lin You.

Lin You refused to give her a chance to hide, so he kept trying to get close to her and control the situation in the battle to take the lead.

The combat experience he had accumulated in the previous alien realm came into play at this time.

In the past, he only learned some fighting skills, but after a period of training, his talent and fighting became more and more proficient, and his fighting style tended to be stable, and he had his own routine.

Veronica is indeed good at melee combat, but what she is good at is only sneak attacks and assassinations, and her ability to face enemies head-on is actually not very strong.

What's more, the greedy blade in Lin You's hand can also suck blood, which makes his endurance in battle guaranteed and more durable.

Coupled with the effect of "giganticization", Lin You's size is getting bigger and bigger, and the strength he plays with the help of inertia is getting stronger and stronger, and with the rise of his physique attributes, his defense and vitality have improved.

Lin You's wave is a complete victory!

The two sides fought for a while, and the "priest of judgment" found that the exchange of blood could not consume him, so he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She threw a dagger at Lin You with all her might, and while he was unprepared, she retreated a few steps back and turned over, and her figure disappeared out of thin air.

"Hmph, stealth skills, still let her use it......"

But Lin You had already thought of a way to deal with it.

He immediately transformed into the Wolf King, and the size that had already grown several times larger at this time, and a behemoth appeared in the hall.

"Brush!"

The next second he switched to the wolf king's form, a dagger pierced into his thick fur, and the sneak attacker Veronica emerged from the shadows.

"Doesn't it hurt, tickle?" Lin You complained in his heart.

The dagger is not easy to use against large enemies, and the wolf king has extremely strong defense, so this knife is given for nothing.

But don't give her a chance to use any other attack methods!

"Scream, launch!"

A piercing roar came out of the wolf king's mouth, and the sound waves exploded in Veronica's ears.

Her mental value is relatively high, and she is not feared.

But the shocking effect of this tweeter is enough to shake the opponent's heart.

At the moment when Veronica shook her head, the wolf king's tail swept violently, forcing her from behind to her side, and then opened her huge mouth and bit the other party fiercely.

This action is as skillful as a wild beast's predation, and there is no room for retaliation.

Lin You lay on the ground, holding down his opponent with his front paws, swaying left and right and tearing constantly.

No matter how she struggled, under the pressure of her natural weight, she couldn't break free at all, and Lin You also let her attack wildly with a small dagger, ignoring it at all.

"Click", the damage value finally exceeded the opponent's health value, and an arm was ripped off.

After a few bites, there was only a piece of debris left in front of him......

"Phew, phew! It's disgusting! ”

Lin You, who had regained his human form, kept spitting.

The witch was no longer human, she didn't shed a drop of blood from beginning to end, and when she died, her body was a pile of gray debris, just like the villager she had seen at the beginning.
