Chapter 634: Chapter 175 The Saint of Sacrifice_1

...A Gold-tier Transcendent?

Lin Yiyi’s expression turned very peculiar.

Mainly because she remembered Jiu’er’s unique style...

She wouldn’t be simultaneously crying out "How terrifying, save me!" while ruthlessly chopping up meat, would she?

No, no matter how you think about it, it shouldn’t be the case.

That, after all, is a Gold-tier Transcendent... Even the weakest among them could wield Elemental Power. And the priority of Elemental Power is higher than all the abilities they could use now.

Even the spell of the Prophet, who could foresee the future and dodge accordingly, couldn’t predict an attack from Elemental Power; the Decree spell, which could command comrades to avoid attacks directly, also couldn’t make them evade attacks from Elemental Power.

It’s like jumping from the role of the "[Mad]" to "[God]"—combat using Elemental Power has already transcended the realm of techniques and entered the domain of code warfare.

Jiu’er’s seemingly resilient undead nature should also have no effect when faced with aggressive Elemental Power...

Even if Lin Yiyi could parry ordinary attacks, parrying Elemental Power attacks would be impossible.

What could Jiu’er possibly accomplish by calling them over?

Form a team to deliver free kills?

And what’s most bizarre is that Gold-tier beings are extremely rare in this world.

They’re basically the equivalent of legends in D&D rules, where obtaining the Book of Truth or holy relics could turn one into a demigod. One could say that each Gold-tier is numbered, so each has their own "title."

This title serves to show respect on the one hand, and on the other, to facilitate the borrowing of power—yes, Gold-tier beings could lend out their power through rituals.

And it has another purpose, which is to facilitate divinations.

If you don’t know the appearance of the person, even having their true name wouldn’t help in locating them during rituals... Just as if one does not know a name is the true name of a deity, even if one accidentally speaks this name, or takes it for oneself, nothing will happen.

Because in this case, the name does not directly correspond to the individual.

But if you assign them a unique title, it’s a different story.

Through this title, you can directly pinpoint the individual. Whether it’s an amplifying ritual, a hindering ritual, or a detection ritual, it can all effectively perform its intended function.

Of course, this is also because there are so few Gold-tier beings...

If there were hundreds or thousands of Gold-tier beings, just trying to think up non-repeating titles would be a headache—these titles do not get deleted after death. The situation where a junior ascends to Gold-tier and thereby inherits the title of their predecessor is actually the minority.

If there were enough Gold-tier beings, they would probably have to start adding numeric suffixes to the titles soon...

But conversely, it’s precisely because Gold-tier beings are so scarce that Lin Yiyi found it hard to believe... that a Gold-tier enemy was attacking Jiu’er.

"But that being said—"

You can’t just ignore your teammates, right!?

Moreover, that’s not just any teammate; it’s her friend.

Lin Yiyi clenched her teeth, paid no mind to tying up the two subdued individuals, and charged out directly.

And at this moment, the other two had also just finished their battles.

When Lin Yiyi left her room, she saw her brother and Xitan Pulan, who had taken on a Spiritual Body form, already standing at the door of Jiu’er’s room.

Xitan Pulan’s body flickered with pure white luminescence, bright enough to illuminate the lightless corridor.

This was a sign that she had already gone through quite an intensive "charging."

—And for a Demigoddess of Imminent Death, the fuel is the lifeforce of the living.

Without a doubt, they too had encountered an ambush.

Only, it must be somewhat different from Lin Yiyi’s situation... The enemy that attacked them did not seem to act as slowly as those four invisible creatures. This was apparent because the two of them had obviously been waiting at the door for quite a while.

"Won’t you take a look inside?"

Lin Yiyi asked Xitan Pulan.

In her Spiritual Body form, she should be able to pass through walls.

However, the serene girl simply shook her head, her pitch-black hair moving without wind, silently floating in the air.

"I can’t get in."

Xitan Pulan said softly, "It seems a barrier has trapped Jiu’er’s room. We can’t even hear any sound from inside... Jiu’er’s profession doesn’t allow her to use a barrier of this strength."

"So it can only be an enemy. Ake didn’t dare to blast it open, worried that it might lead to some mishaps... That’s why we were waiting for you to come out."

"I see, leave it to me—"

Lin Yiyi quickly grasped the situation at hand.

Without any hesitation, she pressed her left hand against the door and murmured with a bit of distress, "This one’s quite expensive..."

—"[Here I stand, to forsake all barriers]!"

As Lin Yiyi’s commanding voice fell, the largest black crystal in her sleeve suddenly shattered.

This was a silver-rank spell from the Decree School, [Abandonment of Barrier]!

Although this was a quite versatile spell, only silver-rank Decree Wizards could create it, and the output of black crystals was very low—The stone that stored this spell was worth as much as, if not more than, several stones Lin Yiyi had used before combined.

This was also the first time Lin Yiyi activated this gemstone spell. In her heart, she didn’t have much confidence in its effectiveness.

It wasn’t the spellcasting material she was worried about—As a monster hunter player, she had always been skilled in utilizing and making use of items.

The main concern was she was unclear about the effect of this thing.

It wasn’t the cost she feared, but rather the fear of wasting something expensive.

But fortunately, while the item was expensive, its effect was truly remarkable. At the very least, it didn’t disappoint her.

With the sound of a strange wind chime ringing.

A black, semi-transparent ripple of crystal spread slowly from Lin Yiyi as the center.

As it touched the room of Jiu’er, there was a very distinct sound, like that of glass being trampled and broken.

Afterward, loud collision sounds immediately came clearly from the room.

Without waiting for the spell’s effect to dissipate, Lin Yiyi kicked open the room’s door.

Xitan Pulan also swiftly followed through the wall.

The next moment, Lin Yiyi’s pupils involuntarily constricted.

"That’s a lot of blood loss..."

Si Anke, following behind, said subconsciously.

Inside Jiu’er’s room, the walls, ceiling, floor... were almost covered in blood.

A glance at the scene was akin to witnessing a hell on earth—

Standing in the middle of the room was a young man with a gentle smile.

He had honey-colored short hair and light golden pupils.

His visage was handsome, exuding an odd demonic charm... but what was most striking was the fresh red wounds that covered his body.

—Yes.

The assaulted Jiu’er, though her clothes were somewhat tattered, was unscathed.

Having advanced to the glorious self-sustaining T, Jiu’er could completely heal such injuries on her own.

On the contrary, her attacker was covered in fresh wounds.

Burns, slashes, punctures, bruises... All sorts of injuries were scattered all over his body, even on his face and hands, and they showed no sign of healing.

It was these wounds that marred his aesthetic appeal, making his nearly enchanting face instead inspire a sense of dread.

Xitan Pulan’s pupils slightly narrowed: "A saint..."

—She happened to know this person.

In the assembly of the semi-deceased she participated in from the Underworld, she had seen this man once.

This was a true saint.

The bearer of the holy relic "Sacrifice of Flesh and Blood."
