A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

He took light steps and took one last look around.

This was a very simple and desolate dock, and at this moment, there were no witnesses.

He didn't know when the fisherman in the distance left - which was exactly what he wanted.

After all, if he was still there, then the only possible witness would have to be eliminated...

Ferdinand suddenly stopped.

Because in front of him, a figure gradually appeared in the air.

Is this... invisibility?

What's going on? Are there ambushes?

He searched in his memory, but there was nothing.

Or maybe it's an enemy Ferdinand doesn't know about...

Or maybe this memory was completely erased in the battle of souls just now.

He calmed down and looked at the figure appearing in front of him.

He was a young man in his twenties, wearing a light armor that was light but had good defensive capabilities. He was not wearing a helmet, had an eye patch on one eye, and had two swords on one side of his waist.

this is……

This slightly familiar smell...

He thought for a moment, and the other person's name suddenly came out of his mouth!

"Thomas?!"

No! As soon as he said it, he knew it was wrong.

Because in Ferdinand's memory, Thomas was already dead.

Died under that cursed power.

But... this young man who appeared before me...

Don't underestimate the opponent's appearance. Invisibility is a third-tier spell, and its price is already quite high.

Even the monarch of a great country cannot use it casually on a daily basis.

There is only one exception, and that is Grand Commander Thomas, who owns the Bloody Cross Flag - anyway, the Bloody Cross Flag has no cost for using magic, so you can use it however you want.

"Nice to meet you!" Before he could say anything, Thomas spoke first. "But should I call you Ferdinand or Thor? Forget it, I'll just call you Ferdinand."

"The name is just a code name." He smiled. "If you like, call me Ferdinand."

The name Thor had long been forgotten.

That is, this name is left in some classical books.

No one cares about the glory and meaning that this name once carried.

If that’s the case, then what’s the meaning of this name?

"Very well, then, Sir Ferdinand," Thomas said. As he spoke, his grayscale vision observed the person, or rather the humanoid being, before him. Ferdinand was unremarkable, without a trace of magic.

Moreover, his expression was very calm.

He seemed completely unconcerned about Thomas's presence.

"So, Mr. Grand Commander, what are you doing here looking for me?" Ferdinand asked.

"Well, I don't want to lie. Simply put, I'm here to kill you!" Thomas said honestly.

"Kill me? Why... are you worthy?" Ferdinand laughed.

"Why? Of course it's because you fooled and deceived me." Thomas said calmly.

Then he took a few steps to the side, where there was a bush that looked very ordinary. Thomas reached into the bush, pulled it a few times, and pulled out a halberd.

There was a little dirt and rock on the halberd, but in the sunlight it looked sharp and dangerous.

"You...wanted to take over my body before, right?" Thomas asked, holding up his halberd with one hand and resting the tail end on it.

There is a reason why he suddenly appears here, but he has hidden weapons here.

He wasn't sure about the other party's martial arts skills - but he thought it must be good.

Ferdinand was an exceptional warrior, a genius who had painstakingly honed his skills for decades without slacking off. Thor's strength was unfathomable. However, he should be a formidable warrior.

Due to the influence of the domain, there are basically no spellcasters among the gods, all of them are warriors.

So if I use the same long sword, I don’t have much advantage.

But it’s different with the halberd. The longer the halberd, the stronger it is, which is an eternal truth.

On the battlefield, as long as conditions permit, Thomas will try his best to use spears and halberds instead of swords.

The sword is the choice after losing the long weapon.

"However, after seeing that I possessed a domain, you gave up. Because a domain is the interference of the soul and spirit with the outside world, the one who possesses a domain... cannot possess it."

"I don't know where you know this, but," Ferdinand narrowed his eyes slightly. "Captain Thomas, can you defeat me?"

At least he looked fearless.

Chapter 360 Ancient God 2

“With some confidence,” Thomas replied.

Ferdinand laughed out loud.

"Grand Master Thomas, if the entire Order of the Knights stood beside you at this moment... I admit that you are stronger than me! I can't beat you." Ferdinand's voice became arrogant.

"But now, you're alone!"

"No need to pretend. I've already checked the surroundings and confirmed there are no other ambushes."

"You just became invisible. It was indeed unexpected, but as long as I want, seeing through the invisibility spell is not a big deal."

"Indeed," Thomas nodded. "I'm alone. It's just you and me here, oh, and maybe one or two others, but don't worry, they're all at a safe distance and won't bother us."

"Who gave you this confidence?" Ferdinand asked in some surprise.

Do you really want to fight? Don't you want to think about it?

Although you already possess a domain, and have reached the stage of "quasi-god", you are far more powerful than ordinary people...

But, I am a genuine god.

And he’s not a newbie like you, but an old god who has lived for thousands of years.

Who gives you the confidence to win?

"It's you." Thomas looked at the other person calmly.

"I?"

"If you had come out of that cave just now, not gone to the dock, and left without caring about the child, I wouldn't have dared to stop you," said Thomas.

That was the worst situation, proving that Thor had the confidence to face any danger alone. He did not provoke trouble, nor was he afraid of trouble, and he would not fight.

"If you come back from the cave, meet up with the child, and then get back on the boat and leave, I won't come out to stop you."

Because it may not matter, or there may not be any "possession" at all. What comes out is still the real Ferdinand.

Although Ferdinand was also an enemy of the Knights, the curse had already backfired, and Thomas would not fight to the death with a dying man.

That's not bravery, that's stupidity.

If you encounter a tactic that results in mutual destruction, you'll be in big trouble.

"If you had come out of the cave, killed the child, and left by another way... then I wouldn't be waiting for you here!"

This shows that the other party has some concerns and does not want to reveal their whereabouts, but it is hard to say how much they are concerned.

On Rhodes Island, Thomas had already deployed five protectors, including himself, for six.

By then it will be a six-to-one siege.

But Thomas would never go for a one-on-one duel.

Although Thomas is confident in his fighting ability, it would be irresponsible for him to fight a strong enemy alone when there are other options!

Aren't these so many national defense-level subordinates meant for use at this time?!

"But if you come out of the cave, kill the child, and then try to leave on the boat..."

Thomas smiled coldly.

This is the best-case scenario expected.

The other party was even afraid that his identity would be exposed, but he needed the subordinates and ships left behind by Ferdinand, so he wanted to kill Ferdinand's followers and leave by boat.

This contradictory approach proves that Ferdinand is weak.

At least it is very weak at this stage.

Feeling the strong fighting spirit rising from Thomas, Ferdinand's face finally changed color.

You can't bluff the other party!

The quasi-god on the opposite side named Thomas has clearly made up his mind that this battle must be fought.

There's nowhere to escape!

If you try to run away, you might just fall into the other party's trap.

Because the opponent has the Bloody Cross Flag, a magical artifact that allows unlimited casting.

Any acceleration spell can start the chase.

Moreover, this place is Rhodes Island, the enemy's territory. If you play a battle royale here, the enemy will have a constant supply of reinforcements and helpers.

The best way to solve this problem is to run to the dinghy.

As long as you get on the boat and row away, Thomas won't be able to catch you!

After all, although the light armor on Thomas did not affect his movements on land, it was a different matter in the water.

But Thomas is blocking the front of the dock... If you want to get to the boat at the dock, you have to kill Thomas.

He drew his sword and prepared to fight.

It was really troublesome. He wasn't particularly familiar with this body... Now even he himself couldn't tell how much strength he could exert.

Find an opportunity and see if you can force the other party to retreat.

Ferdinand thought clearly that as long as he forced Thomas to retreat, he could immediately jump into the boat and leave.

I would rather fight on water than on land!

While he was thinking this, Thomas's halberd had already swung towards him.

When the long sword and the halberd blade collided, the advantage of the weapon was clearly revealed.

Even though his arm strength was not much inferior, Ferdinand was at a great disadvantage in terms of weapons and was easily defeated.

Can't get through...

Thomas began to press forward, using his advantage in weapons to force Ferdinand back.

If you don't retreat, you'll be beaten unilaterally. As the saying goes, if you defend too long, you'll lose. Just one mistake will result in a heavy blow.

Fortunately, Thomas didn't dare to attack boldly, so he still had some strength to spare. In addition, the area was in the wilderness, with plenty of space and room to maneuver.

Although the situation is unfavorable, it is not necessarily clear whether the winner will be the winner.

No!

Ferdinand was forced back three steps in a row and became furious.

No matter how strong Thomas was, he was just a quasi-god, yet he was forced to this point!

There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Then, when Thomas made his next move, Ferdinand stood still.

His entire body radiated a fiery golden light, forming a spherical force field. At this moment, this spherical force field was constantly flickering, as if a massive force was stirring, brewing a storm.

Thomas immediately retreated cautiously, and the transparent field was released from his body.
