Mercenary Wars

Chapter 110 Holy Name
Thomas' shield was the first to reach the bushes. Its patterns flashed, and it swept past in a beautiful arc, immediately forcing the hidden enemy to reveal himself.

The five enemies all appear to be thieves.

The leading level 5 thief reacted quickly, dodging Thomas's flying shield. The others were a little slower and were hit by the shield to varying degrees, staggering and one was even knocked to the ground.

The shield then flew back and was caught by Thomas.

At the same time, the four arrows that Gaugano threw also flew close to the bushes.

He didn't expect the arrows he threw by hand to kill a level 5 enemy head-on; the purpose of these four arrows was merely to distract the enemy.

It proved to be quite effective.

Having just dodged the flying shield, the level 5 rogue was now facing four arrows with strange trajectories. Overwhelmed, he could only let out a soft shout before his figure vanished instantly.

Immediately, his figure appeared behind Ryan, holding a dagger and his eyes flashing with ferocity!
Unfortunately, this was a wrong choice.

As one of the lightest-armored members of the team, Ryan naturally served to lure the enemy into a trap.

The overseer's armor was actually quite thin, but the Grey Hawk mercenaries clearly didn't consider him one of their own, so John's vigilance naturally fell on Ryan.

"Boom!" The moment the level 5 thief appeared, John immediately used War Stomp.

The shockwave surged forward from his toes, catching the level 5 thief off guard. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ryan immediately dodged and launched a counterattack.

It must be said that the level 5 thief was indeed quite agile, managing to almost completely evade Ryan and Thomas's attacks under these circumstances before disappearing again.

At the same time, Gaucano had already arrived near the downed thief and was wielding the Blood-Summoning Sword to strike fiercely.

Kill a Level 3 Human, Experience +150

The other three thieves ganged up on him and attacked him.

Gao Jiano didn't get entangled with them. He immediately activated Blood Rush, quickly escaped the encirclement, and headed straight for the invisible level 5 thief.

"Watch out!" he yelled as he lunged at the overseer.

But it was still a step too slow.

"Ah!" A scream rang out as the overseer was stabbed in the throat and killed by a level-five thief who suddenly appeared.

"Yemen is supreme!" The level-five thief chanted the religious slogan before disappearing again.

After disappearing this time, he did not try to attack anyone again, but ran away directly, obviously realizing that his invisibility was useless against Gaucano.

Gao Jiano charged forward with burning blood, simultaneously unleashing eight swift breezes to disrupt the opponent's pace, and quickly caught up.

"You're asking for death!" Seeing that he couldn't outrun him, the level 5 thief roared angrily, deactivated his stealth, turned around and launched a fierce attack, and his movements suddenly became faster, with his two daggers flying like the wind.

Realizing the opponent's astonishing attack speed, Gaucano decisively adopted a tactic of trading injury for life, focusing only on vital points and unleashing wide-ranging attacks with the Blood Summoning Sword.

In the blink of an eye, he was struck by several daggers, but the level 5 thief was also struck by his sword.

The strike from the Blood Summoning Sword was clearly not easy to withstand.

In fact, the Blood Summoning Sword almost never causes minor injuries; once the defense is breached, it usually results in severe damage.

"Ah!" A scream rang out, and blood gushed from the wound on the level 5 thief's body, tearing the wound open.

He tried to back away.

Gao Gano charged forward with burning blood, relentlessly slashing with his Blood-Summoning Sword.

The level 5 thief was pale and desperately tried to dodge, but it was only a death struggle. Before long, he was hit by another sword and fell to the ground.

Gaucano swung his sword and slashed.

Kill a Level 5 Human, Experience +250

[Experience: 3669/3600 (upgradeable)]

After killing the level 5 thief, Blood Regeneration is activated, and the opponent's blood is transformed into healing energy along the Blood Summoning Sword, quickly restoring Gaugano to full health.

He then exhaled and turned to look. The battle on the other side had also ended; Thomas, Ryan, and John, working together, had successively killed the remaining three thieves.

The only problem is the supervisor.

After a while.

"What should we do?" The men looked at the foreman's corpse and exchanged bewildered glances.

Thomas: "What else can we do but take the body back! We killed five of Dibto's spies, so what if one dies? Anyway, the silver has already been safely delivered to Southshore. Do Leskova and Greave seem like the kind of people who would care about the life or death of an overseer?"

"makes sense……"

The group put the bodies of the level-five thief and the overseer into the overseer's storage ring, cleaned up a bit, and then rested on the spot.

Gaucano sorted through the spoils of war.

The main item is a storage ring, level two, while the original owner was naturally a level five thief.

In fact, this was the first time he had obtained a storage ring from his spoils of war. There were quite a few things inside, and if converted into money, not counting the storage ring itself, it would be worth at least a dozen gold coins, which could be considered a windfall.

Of course, what excited Gao Jiano even more was that he could finally upgrade!
He couldn't wait and immediately made the decision to upgrade!
The familiar starry sky came into view once again, and Gao Jiano turned his gaze to the rare holy names at the top of the list.

[Sacred Name: Archimonde Niro]

[Belongs to: Devil]

[Buff: All attribute caps +5, Constitution +2, Spirit +2, Strength +5, Intelligence -2]

【Blessing - Death Finger: Unleashes a powerful curse within your field of vision, instantly killing a non-divine target whose level is not higher than your own. Can be used once per day.

……

【Holy Name: Plutos】

[Belongs to: Gods]

[Buff: All attribute caps +6, Constitution +4, Agility +3]

[Blessing - Treasure: Discover a treasure that is extremely easy to obtain, containing wealth worth millions of gold coins]

[Destiny - Eternal Blindness: Permanent blindness after obtaining the treasure, incurable only by divine power]

……

Death Finger: Instantly kill one enemy of the same level every day!
This effect really excited Gao Jiano, until he thought about it again and realized that killing enemies of the same level was not that difficult for him, unless he was surrounded.

Realizing the limited uses of the blessing, and considering the many hidden dangers of the demon's true name, he eventually lost interest in this holy name.

Let's take another look at the treasures of Plutosd.

His wealth of millions of gold coins was enough to make him one of the richest people on the entire continent, but he was permanently blind...

If it's just ordinary blindness, that's fine. You can buy millions of gold coins and truckloads of level 10 blood, then use Blood Regeneration to cure it directly.

But this fateful blindness is clearly not ordinary; it requires divine power to heal it.

Can millions of gold coins buy even a trace of divinity?

Gaucano thought it was unlikely.

Thinking about this, he suddenly wondered if this holy name and blessing were a means for the God of Wealth to collect divinity.

Gaucano now has a certain understanding of mysticism and can recognize the identities of the gods corresponding to most of the holy names. "Plutos" without the suffix is ​​the name of "Plutos," the god of wealth.

The god of wealth surely wouldn't do a losing business.

With this thought in mind, Gaucano shook his head, glanced past "Plutosde," and looked at the other holy names.

Soon, a holy name caught his attention.
