Halpier was very fast, and in less than an hour, Luke had eliminated all the monsters summoned by the remaining five corpse towers, and only a few of the four or five demons were killed by the police or the brave "good citizens", forming several small polluted areas in the city.

In this circle, Luke killed more than a hundred demons in total, and Luke's experience points were enough to level up after killing the monsters in the last corpse tower.

The source of the current incident, the corpse tower and the black pillar of light, has not yet been resolved, but Luke is not panicking.

The sky has fallen, there is a high top, he has done enough for Phoenix, upgrade first.

He found a safe place, and the crows landed everywhere in black to make sure that no one would sneak up.

Half of your mind sank into the ability tree space.

With the upgrade, the ability tree seems to have grown a little taller again.

Information about the upgrade comes to mind.

Reaching level 11, Luke's Soul Strength and Body Strength each increase by one point, reaching 12 points in Body Strength and 17 points in Soul Strength.

In addition to this, I also got a chance to fuse skills.

The so-called skill fusion is to combine the skills with strong relevance to form a new powerful skill.

If there are too few related skills to fuse, you can also choose to combine a certain skill with the concept of "mirror" to form a completely new skill.

Luke observed his status bar, as he continued to hunt monsters, his skill bar became more and more abundant, and two of them were even too high to provide blessings.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to first merge the abilities of several physique-type abilities and try to turn waste into treasure.

With his mind, the ability tree also gave a hint that the correlation was 84% and the fusion effect was better.

He made up his mind, and the four skill branches on the ability tree, representing [Rough Skin and Thick Flesh], [Innate Divine Power], [Extraordinary Sharpness], and [Strong Gift], began to move slowly, gradually entangled, and merged into a new thick branch.

New Skill Formation:

The strength of the body is increased by 2 points, forming a flexible protective film under the skin on the body surface.

After the new skill is formed, Luke's body strength reaches 13.

He felt it slightly, and pinched the flesh on his arm, the tough skin as if it didn't exist, and only showed up when attacked.

After the upgrade, Luke took Halpier to observe the sky, and seven black pillars of light were still standing in the city.

He made a phone call first, and then drove the birds and beasts under him to fly towards the intersection of the pillars of light.

After a while, Luke arrived near the meeting point, and there was a thick layer of black fog on the ground, and there were more than a dozen people standing scattered next to the black fog.

He fixed his eyes from the sky, good fellows, acquaintances are here.

Waldberg Director Fenris took four or five people, including Daxter and Yaska, to introduce Luke to FBI agent Langsford, who had introduced him to extraordinary pollution knowledge, as well as Alfre, who he had just met, and some other agents.

In addition to these two waves of teams, there are also some scattered transcendents who do not command each other, and should be civilian transcendents or police consultants.

It's no wonder that I didn't meet many transcendent people when I was cleaning up demons, and the co-authors all came here directly.

The people on the field were using their own means in the black mist, and from time to time they could see traces of "Flame Rays" and "Fire Tongue Technique", which should be the "classmates" of the Flame School.

Luke falls to the ground and finds the most familiar Daxter to understand the current situation.

Daxter told Luke the situation in as concise language as possible in a minute or two.

It turned out that from the beginning of the pillar of light, the special affairs processing team had already been notified and quickly entered the city.

At this time, the FBI has begun to arrange the containment of the monsters that appear in the seven corpse towers, and the containment of demons is a thankless thing, since someone is fully responsible, they naturally no longer ask for their own hardships, and simply come directly to the intersection of the pillars of light.

After all, this place is the most critical core location at a glance.

The Black Mist had been there since their arrival, and in the intervening moments, they had used different means to scout inside.

After the energy system strikes entered the black fog, they all dissipated silently.

A grumpy forging old brother rushed in with his head suffocated, and with an "ah" sound, the person was gone.

The rest of the people were even more afraid to go in.

A few transcendent beings with summons drove several birds and beasts inside, and the summons died before their owners could detect any useful information.

Now people are using various means to try to dispel the black fog.

The fog was not as motionless as a black pillar of light, and the FBI people had just taken a few individual bazookas and shot them over, and the violent explosion had cleared some of the fog on the periphery in an instant.

However, the effect of the explosion was only for a moment, and soon the viscous mist filled the empty space again.

An agent he didn't know, who looked like the head of the FBI in Phoenix, said angrily: "Damn, bring all the AT-4s from the White Flame Company, and then ask the army to come into the city to help, and blow up the fuck!" ”

Luke beckoned Halpie to come down, took out the Flame Candelabra and the three ordinary candles he had prepared from the blanket on his back, and walked to the mist.

When the others saw that some newcomers were trying, they tacitly stopped and gave way to the stage.

Luke inserted the three candles into the candlestick one by one, stretched out his left index finger, and a small psionic flame lit the three candles.

As the three candles were lit one by one, the candlestick emitted a soft glow, which was not as strong as illumination, but it was unusually tough, and shone on the black mist like dish soap on oil, and it easily dissolved them, achieving a stronger effect than a few rockets.

In the mist, faint black lines were gradually exposed, and those lines were the same as the spatial cracks created when the corpse tower summoned demons, and their positions were still changing irregularly.

A human corpse broken into a dozen pieces and the mutilated corpses of several birds and beasts were scattered here and there.

Damn, no wonder the people and animals that came in were dead, and in the absence of vision, in the face of such a dense and moving spatial crack, even if you have [Spider Sense], once you enter rashly, you may not be able to survive.

Looking at this magical scene, the people around them cheered up.

The FBI leader grabbed his subordinate who was about to make a phone call: "Don't go, don't go, we can handle it ourselves." ”

Soon, thicker, viscous darkness poured out of the center of the mist, competing with the candlelight, preventing them from going deeper.

Luke looked inside, the spatial rifts were dense, and he didn't know how many rifts there were in the deepest darkness, or other dangers.

Looking at the thick black mist in front of him, Luke looked back and said to everyone, "I need silk threads or cloth with abundant energy. ”

He thought about making some special candles on the spot, but after a glance, there was no one who responded.

No way.

The people present can be regarded as the elite of the extraordinary group in Phoenix City, so poor?

Or is it that the silk threads with rich energy are particularly rare?

At this moment, Luke was keenly aware that a loose female transcendent quietly retreated to the back of the crowd and stretched his hand to the back of the waist.

Something is wrong with her!

Luke commanded a raven to fly to the female transcendent at breakneck speed, and then shifted behind her.

A hand grabbed her and pulled it out, and by the way brought out the one she was sneaking in.

Black Lady Lace Cool?

Or a sexy T-word?

Under the eyes of more than a dozen people on the field, Luke awkwardly let go of the hand that was tightly squeezing the opponent's wrist, and his five fingers didn't know where to swing, and his toes directly cut out an underground maze.

Lilinette was also embarrassed.

Half a year ago, she got some extraordinary insects spit silk to make cloth, and because the quantity was too scarce, she simply made it into a strip of inner cool.

After hearing Luke's inquiry, she wasn't going to take it out.

As a result, no one present seemed to have such extraordinary materials, and in desperation, she quietly hid behind, preparing to cut the fabrics a little so that she could not see the shape at a glance, and then handed them to Luke.

Unexpectedly, she had just put her hand in, unfastened a fastidio buckle, let it loose, and was about to pull it out, when Luke suddenly appeared in front of her and raised her hand

I want to die, I want to die, I want to die

Just let Phoenix be destroyed.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were all shifting, Lilinette stumbled and said, "This is a transcendent material. can be used for you. ”

you!

What is called for me to use.

Luke was eager to fly to the continent of Europa in one fell on Halpierre, and found a place where no one was around.

But fantasy is just fantasy, and life has to go on.

He stiffly took the strange piece of fabric with one finger, and he didn't touch it, and he didn't touch it.

The two of them froze in place for more than ten seconds, and Lilinette couldn't stand the strange atmosphere, so she snatched the thing directly, her hair was entwined together, forming a knife blade, and she swiped it neatly, cutting the T-shaped fabric into several strips, and then stuffed it back into Luke's hand.

Luke pretended to be calm and walked among the crowd, coughed twice, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone with an extraordinary physique, I still need a little blood." ”

A muscular, bald, muscular man with a fleshy face walked up to Luke and stretched out his arm.

"Use mine, as long as you can break through these damn fogs, you can use as much as you want."

He was the younger brother of the grumpy old brother who died in the mist, and if someone hadn't pulled him, he would have almost rushed straight in the moment his brother died.

At this time, there was hope of avenging his brother, and he stood up without hesitation.

Luke had planned to go out into the forest today after William's retirement ceremony was over and make special candles out of spiders' silk threads and bodily fluids, so the tools and ingredients were ready.

The original candle itself was made of soy wax, and he melted a few candles with psionic energy, took out the autumn saffron that he had bought in advance, took out the sap and added it to it, and then cut a wound in the bald man's forearm, allowing the energy-rich blood to mix into it.

When everything was ready, Luke kneaded the black lace fabric into thin strips and placed them in the center of the wax oil, then pulled out the "Frost Touch" charm that Duxter had given him, unleashing a little bit of power to speed up the candle to solidify.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the three candles were quickly made.

Luke inserts the candle into the menorah and lights it with a psionic flame.

Blazing flames emanated from the candlesticks, more aggressive than the gentle glow that had been before.

He walked to the black mist with the candlestick in hand.

The thick, viscous black mist quickly dissolved like frost in the sun, revealing a figure in the center.

Beneath his feet was a strange and complex formation, and he was looking up at the intersection of the pillars of light, sensing that the fog had dissipated, he shifted his gaze back to the ground and greeted Luke, "Hey, I'm sorry I missed my retirement ceremony." You know, we old people always stubbornly think that we can work for a few more years, so I got myself a new job. ”

He still had that gentle smile on his face: "Look at your battle, I'm doing a good job." ”

Luke looked at the man in surprise, it turned out to be old William!

"It's you!" Luke reminisced about the time he had met him.

Every time it comes to the case of the "Seven Deadly Sins", he always appears by his side.

Seven sins, seven cases, even Luke, missed the "laziness", only he, all the cases are in it.

"Jealous" Patrick is the corpse he collected.

At that time, when the emergency situation suddenly occurred, Luke put down the search of Patrick's house and went to kill "Gluttony", and William Sr. rushed to the scene just right after Gluttony died.

I remember that he arrived with the police station's support, saying that he was worried about the situation of Amisha and Luke, and handed over another scene to others.

After Luke left, the corpse of "Gluttony" should also be restrained by him.

After the death of "Lust", it was the old William who sent Abu to the hospital and took the body away by the way.

Luke suddenly thought of another thing.

Daxter told him that he had once planned to tell Luke that there would be an additional subsidy for bringing back the corpses of supernatural beings, but he had forgotten about something.

It was after the "arrogance" was eliminated, and he was about to say it, when old William patted him on the shoulder, casually said other gossip, and forgot about it.

And the corpses of "arrogance", "rage" and "greed" were all handled by William Sr.

Every time, Luke handed it all over to him because he was too lazy to deal with it.

"Lazy" was killed by William Sr. himself, and what to do with the corpse was completely up to him.

He asked, "Those corpse towers, are they all made with those corpses as the core?" ”

He didn't specify it, but Old William still understood what he meant, and said in a leisurely tone: "It's worthy of you, Luke, you react quickly, I really envy you young people sometimes, you react quickly, and you have plenty of physical strength." ”

Halfway through speaking, he shook his head, "No, not envy, how jealous I was of you back then, and Amisha, Joseph, and a few of you. ”

"You are young, you are energetic in everything you do, and you are white-skinned, and you are like a fish in water in this racist country. Especially you, Luke, are handsome, well-blooded, and possess extraordinary abilities without having to take refuge in the abyss, and as I approach retirement, I can't suppress the jealousy in my heart. ”

"Fortunately, we were the first to kill Patrick, he is the bearer of the original sin of my jealousy, and with his death, my jealousy will also go with it, otherwise, I don't have such a good attitude to follow you all the time."

"As my original sin bearers died one by one, my sins were purified. Luke, thank you for helping me become a sinless man. ”

After saying these words, he even drew a cross on his chest and prayed like a devout Christian:

"Oh merciful Father, I no longer see my sins, I have just committed the sin of pride."

After praying, he tilted his head to look at Luke: "Shouldn't a devout believer confess to the priest like this?" Unfortunately, God did not give me a chance, and the abyss gave me a second birth. ”

Luke no longer listened to him, the "Fireball Technique" model was activated, and a huge fireball flew out from an intact mirror within the spatial crack, and under the guidance of Luke's spiritual power, it drew a strange arc, dodging the slowly moving crack one after another, and flew towards the old William at the center point.

With a flick of his hand, a stream of dark black energy flew out from front of him as a hurricane, easily neutralizing the fireball.

Other people with remote control abilities also accompanied Luke to attack, but they were easily blocked by William Sr.

He was like a broken-mouthed villain who hadn't spoken for a long time, and kept babbling: "Don't bother with this, Luke, although you have grown up fast, the world still belongs to the old guys." Only Albert's reckless man in this city can stop me, but he's already gone to the Braddock Fox mines to investigate the non-existent parasitic demon race, and he won't be able to make it back now. ”

"Braddock Fox Mine? That's what you arranged too? Luke asked, surprised.

"Of course." Old William nodded: "Although Albert has a simple brain, his strength is not simple, if he is not transferred, this sacrificial ceremony may not be so easy to complete." ”

"Speaking of which, the people of the Special Affairs Handling Brigade are really easy to deceive, casually fabricating a false impression of a parasitic race, and then using the 'Seven Deadly Sins' to provoke the emotions of the members of the investigation team, making them kill each other, and they were really fooled."

He took the initiative to bring it up, and Luke asked, "Then the parasitic monster that Carl encountered was also arranged by you?" ”

Old William still had a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, it's me, that parasite is a failed test product made by Weatherf before, it is worthy of being an experimental subject, I added a little arrogance, and it was actually killed by Carl." Of course, although this script was a bit unexpected to me, the effect was also surprisingly good. You see. You all believe that there is such a demon race that uses parasitism as a means of survival. ”

Seeing old William say these words lightly, Luke shouted angrily: "He has been your friend for decades!" ”

"Yes, a friend of decades, it must be understandable for him to pay a little sacrifice for my great plan, after all, his malignant tumor has reached an advanced stage, even if he doesn't encounter monsters, how long can he live?"

At this moment, the seven pillars of light in the sky suddenly froze, and then shattered in an instant.

In front of Old William, a series of narrow cracks accelerated and instantly merged into a huge hole.

Countless figures appeared in the entrance of the cave, and the shadow in the foreground was a large snake with a large snake on its lower body, and its upper body looked a bit like a human female, but there were six arms on either side of the body, each arm wielding a vicious blade.

Dozens of demons poured out behind her, and although the number was less than half that of the previous seven corpse towers, it was clear that each of them was much stronger than the two lower demons.

The pitch-black cave had not disappeared yet, and more low-level demons were frantically rushing towards this world along the gap between the two realms, and soon hundreds of low-level demons such as primordial demons and cowardly demons filled the field and scattered around.

The transcendents behind Luke had bitter expressions on their faces, and a few of them had already seen that the situation was not good and were ready to flee, but most of them were still holding their weapons tightly and preparing for battle.

The FBI leader asked the young agent next to him, "Is the army's support coming soon?" ”

The young detective looked confused, "Didn't you say you wouldn't ask for help?" ”

The leader slapped him on the head, "I said I wouldn't ask if I didn't ask for it, do you have a little judgment of your own!" Go and ask for help, find a safe place to call and let them know, and then go and show them the way, if the army doesn't come, you don't come back! ”

The young detective took out the walkie-talkie, explained a few words to his distant colleagues, and then stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not going, I'm here, if you don't leave, I won't leave." ”

The leader looked at him, sighed, drew an outrageous pistol of large caliber from his waist, handed it to him, and said, "Haven't you always wanted to try this savage hunter?" If you survive, I'll send you. ”

"What about you?" The young agent asked, taking the gun.

"Me? I don't need this. "The leader of the agents took off his coat, and the muscles all over his body squirmed, and the whole person instantly grew more than ten centimeters taller, and the muscles outside his body also swelled like a monster." I'm the one who wrestled with Albert. ”

He silently concealed the aftermath of his broken wrist.

"Luke, you are really growing up too fast, so fast that I am worried that I will not be able to kill you this time, and you will easily defeat me in a few years, so I will tell you all the plans for this period of time and drag you here. Unexpectedly, you really didn't run away. ”

Old William walked forward and said to Luke, "Are you being manipulated by curiosity, or do you really love Phoenix so much?" Little Luke, I'm waiting for the six-armed snake demon and its legion to come, what are you waiting for? ”

"He's waiting for me."

A chubby and honest figure flew in the blazing white flames, the sea of fire covered the entire sky, he waved his hand forward, the sea of fire was like a waterfall pouring down, towards the abyss passage, in the miserable white flames, countless demons that were gushing out were instantly roasted into charcoal, turned into ashes.

This fly ash is not caused by Luke's kind of energy absorbed after killing, but by pure heat, all the skin and flesh are burned to ashes, and all the bones are calcined into ashes.

This is where the name "Ember Bringer" comes from.

Today the code 6000 words pinch, I'm awesome.

I was going to finish this volume in one go, but the more I wrote, the later I wrote~ So that's all for now, and I will finish this volume tomorrow.

Then the next volume begins Luke's college career.
