Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 263 The Brilliant Sun
After watching the battle scene of 'The World' defeating Guda, there was a moment of stillness and silence above the gray fog.

Due to time constraints, the images they saw were 'edited'.

But even so, they can see why the 'world' was able to defeat Guda——

Strictly follow Mr. Fool's instructions.

Although the process is very thrilling, there is only one way to fight in the "world" from beginning to end:
Raise the shield to defend → go around → cut once → raise the shield to defend → go around → cut once, repeat the cycle.

Although this caused the battle to be prolonged, making it look extremely dangerous and difficult, throughout the whole process, the World seemed to be able to handle it with ease, and was not even injured by Guda.

The most important thing is that 'World' did not use his extraordinary abilities throughout the entire process!

Using extraordinary abilities to fight is an instinct for extraordinary people. When Moon fought in the dream world, he even abandoned his long sword and used the Claws of Corrosion directly.

Because for Moon, the Claw of Corrosion, which she had used for more than ten years, was more convenient and much sharper than the long sword.

At least that's what he thought.

But in actual combat, the role that the Claws of Corrosion can play is actually far less effective than that of a long sword.

Similarly, the fighting style of 'The Hermit', 'The Hanged Man' and others is the same.

In their opinion, using extraordinary abilities to fight is undoubtedly more advantageous than using unfamiliar long swords.

Therefore, the Hanged Man tried to use 'flying' to distance himself from Guda during the first contact, relying on his air advantage to fight with wind blades - and then he was killed instantly by a jump slash from Guda.

Even though he learned his lesson several times and no longer stupidly flew in the air as a living target, he still wanted to distance himself and use wind blades to consume the enemy from a distance.

Needless to say, he had never even seen the second stage of Teacher Guda.

'The Hermit' was slightly better than him, at least he saw the second stage of Teacher Guda.

Even before this, none of them thought there was anything wrong with their fighting style. It was not until they saw the fighting style of the 'world' that they finally realized what the problem was.

They rely too much on and trust their extraordinary abilities, but lack the most basic trust in the tumbling and bouncing in their dreams.

Even with Mr. Fool's reminder, I would still instinctively be skeptical.

After all, no matter how powerful the parrying and rolling in the dream are, they are not their own. Only extraordinary abilities are real.

The World's style of completely abandoning extraordinary abilities and only using the "rolling" in the dream world to fight was undoubtedly beyond their expectations.

'Justice' Audrey sighed in her heart:
“Should I say you are worthy of being Mr. Fool’s follower?”

Although everyone is a member of the Tarot Club, and although everyone has respect and trust for Mr. Fool, the degree of trust is obviously divided into different levels. The others are reserved, but only the World follows Mr. Fool's advice without hesitation, making decisions and strictly implementing them.

This is what others cannot do and is why Mr. World can be successful.

"Next time, maybe I can give it a try."

The eyes of The Hanged Man flickered. If The World could do it without extraordinary abilities, there was no reason why he couldn't do it.

"Don't rush to act, and don't be greedy."

The Hermit Cattleya suddenly remembered Mr. Fool's advice and murmured.

Although it has been edited, it can still be seen from the picture that the World has executed these two tips perfectly. Before each battle, he would spend a long time observing.

Without attacking, just rely on blocking and rolling to dodge attacks and memorize Guda's attack pattern.

When it came to the battle stage, every time he seized the opportunity to attack, he would only strike once, never a second time.

That's why he could avoid Guda's counterattacks every time, seemingly in danger. Even for the Hermit, this also has a certain reference significance.

Because even in a dream, defeating a demigod has great significance for them.

The Hanged Man hesitated for two seconds and asked:

"Mr. World, how many souls can be gained by defeating Guda?"

Klein knew what he wanted to ask, and immediately manipulated the World to ask hoarsely:
"Three hundred thousand souls. I consumed 10 souls to digest the potion."

"One hundred thousand souls?"

The Hanged Man thought for a moment, which meant that as long as Guda was defeated, the potion could be completely digested. But the problem was that he had not yet collected the extraordinary materials needed to prepare the potion...

At the level of Sequence 5, the circulating Beyonder materials are already scarce and difficult to obtain. The major forces will also strictly control these Beyonder materials, making it difficult for wild Beyonders to obtain them.

Although the Hanged Man was a member of the Church of Storms, he was promoted to Sequence 6 without telling the Church of Storms. He could not tell the Church of Storms about the channels for obtaining potion formulas or extraordinary materials.

Therefore, he could only rely on himself to obtain the extraordinary materials required to advance to Sequence 5.

of course.

He could also choose to return to the Church of Storms and drink another potion formula of Sequence 6. After digesting the potion formula of Sequence 6 again, he could wait a few more months and then legitimately get the opportunity to advance to Sequence 5 from the Church of Storms.

However, if he did so, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and the potion formula of Sequence 5 'Ocean Singer' that he had obtained at a huge cost would be meaningless.

So he can only go one way to the end...

The Hanged Man took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:

"It's the same as before. I need a copy of the Beyonder of the Sea, or the corresponding Beyonder material!"

Faced with the deal proposed by The Hanged Man, everyone else chose to remain silent.

Because the Hanged Man proposed this deal a long time ago, but it has been hanging in the Tarot Club for a long time. After all, when it comes to the level of Sequence 5, both Beyonder characteristics and Beyonder materials are extremely rare and not so easy to obtain.

The Hermit Cattleya said:

"I can help you keep an eye out, but the chances are slim."

She herself was only a Sequence 5, so it was not easy for her to obtain the Beyonder characteristics of a Sequence 5.

The Hanged Man was not surprised by the Hermit's answer and said calmly:

"Just do your best."

It would be best if the Hermit could obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the Ocean Singer. If not...

The Hanged Man's eyes flickered.

The headquarters of the Church of Storms was on Pasu Island, but the scope of its missionary work spread throughout the Kingdom of Loen. For example, the Archbishop of Backlund was the "Deep Blue Priest" Raydar Valentine, and the Archbishop of the Ross Sea was the "Sea King" Arne Cotman, both demigods of Ou City.

But even a demigod cannot pay attention to every island and every town. The Deep Blue High Priest will not easily leave Backlund, and the Sea King will not easily leave Bayam. In the churches of those more "remote" islands, other bishops will be in charge.

These bishops are of different strengths, with the weakest being only at Sequence 7 and the strongest even at Sequence 5.

If the Hermit really couldn't get the Beyonder's characteristics, he could only take a risk and borrow them from the bishops of remote churches.

But by doing so, he would inevitably offend the Storm Church.

Although the Hanged Man was not very devout to the Lord of Storms, and he did not care even if he betrayed the Lord of Storms' faith, the Church of Storms would always give the most severe punishment to the betrayers. For betraying the Church of Storms, he would inevitably be hostile to the entire Church of Storms, and even hunted down by the demigods.

But if it really comes to that, he can't care so much!
Klein frowned, as if he had realized something from the conversation between the two. Just as he was about to let The World speak, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in his peripheral vision.

The light was so dazzling that it even made the gray fog brighter.

Even the members of the Tarot Club were attracted by the light and subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction where the light came from.

Among the thousands of crimson stars, a cluster of flames flickered in the middle.

At first it was just flickering like a candle in the wind, but the flame became brighter and brighter, blocking out the light from countless crimson stars, as if a bright sun was hanging above the gray fog!
Under the dazzling light that seemed like the sun, the surrounding gray fog seemed to be dispelled and became extremely thin!
Klein also came to his senses at this time, and a thought subconsciously flashed through his mind:
"Ember is back?"

But how did he come back? Where is he now? What does the change above the gray fog mean?
Klein felt a little uneasy, and he felt that things wouldn't be that simple.

Last time, the embers also went back to the past and then returned to reality, but the movement that time was obviously not so exaggerated!

What is going on?
Klein frowned, and the members of the Tarot Club were even more confused. They subconsciously cast their gazes towards Mr. Fool at the top, trying to get an answer from Him.

Unfortunately, Mr. Fool also looked confused and had no idea what was going on.

But Klein reacted quickly and knew what he should do now.

"Has it started yet?"

The Fool murmured in a low voice, and before anyone else could think, he slowly spoke:

"This party ends here."

As soon as the words fell, Justice and the others were sent out of the gray fog and returned to reality.

Mr. Fool, who was at the head of the group, also materialized a pen and paper as soon as the others disappeared, and wrote down the corresponding divination statement:
"The location of the embers."
-
In Queens, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

In Audrey's room on the second floor, the girl on the luxurious bed opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling with deep confusion in her eyes:
"What to start?"

What exactly did Mr. Fool mean by his last words? Is he or they planning something? Also, what does that round of "sun" represent?
Audrey looked at the empty room, looked around, and whispered:

"Carla, are you there?"

The room was silent, and Audrey's question received no response.

Carla seemed to have left the room.
-
On the main peak of the Amanda Mountains, snowflakes fell like feathers, covering the earth with a layer of white coat, making it look like silver.

It was not yet night, and the cold red moon had not yet replaced the sun.

But on this snowy peak, the sunlight still finds it difficult to penetrate the snowflakes falling from the sky, and cannot bring any warmth at all.

The Gothic black church with a pointed roof stood alone in the snow-covered mountain. In front of it was a cliff, and in front of the cliff was a cemetery. All around was white, and there was no sound at all.

In the center of the cemetery, a bonfire with a spiral sword stuck in it burned quietly.

No matter how fierce the storm, snow and rain were, it did not affect the burning of the campfire at all.

Even though it looks so weak, like a candle in the wind.

But it seems to contain the power of God, allowing the weak flame to burn forever!
Snapped!
The flames suddenly rose, accompanied by a crackling sound like burning wood. And the rising flames condensed into a figure around the campfire.

He was wearing melted and twisted armor, with a tattered cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, like a lonely knight.

"Good evening, Your Excellency."

A gentle voice sounded in his ears.

Ember turned around and looked in the direction of the Quiet Church.

A lady stood quietly at the entrance of the cemetery, staring at him with her dark eyes.

Her facial features were quite ordinary. She was wearing a simple robe and a bark belt. She had long black hair hanging down. She was barefoot and had no shoes or socks.

Ember recognized her, she was the Mother Superior of the Night Monastery, the Chief of the Ascetics, the Servant of Secrets, the Angel on Earth, Arianna.

Yu Jin nodded slightly and replied:

"Good evening, Ms. Arianna."

"If it's convenient, I hope to go to the painting world now."

Arianna whispered:
"As you wish, Your Excellency, please follow me."

This was not the first time she had heard this request, nor was it the first time she had responded to it.

Because the goddess had already made a promise about this.

Yu Jin glanced at the campfire behind him, then looked away.

Following Arianna silently, they passed through the Quiet Church and entered the Monastery of Night.

It is a sacred and magnificent church. Everyone who comes here will be amazed by its exquisite design.

But when Yu Jin saw it for the first time, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

He once had a very precious memory here.

We walked up a series of stone steps, around the huge stone tablet, and arrived at the door of the church.

The tightly closed door was painted with intricate patterns, and in the center of the left and right door panels was a guardian nun holding a spear.

On both sides of the gate, there is a sculpture covered in snow and standing with a spear in hand.

Rumble!
Ariana stood in front of the church door and waved gently. With a loud roar, the door slowly opened.

A corridor illuminated by candles also appeared in the sight of the two. On both sides of the corridor, there were a large number of stone statues of knights half-kneeling on the ground, wearing armor and hoods.

The knights on both sides held lances in their right hands, pointing diagonally forward, as if they were lining up to welcome their master.
