Chapter 205:148 kills, level skyrocketing
After securing the Heart of Holy Light, Dean McKenzie quickly hurried towards the Holy Light Church.
In no time, Dean McKenzie returned to the Holy Light Church.
This time, with the Heart of Holy Light in one hand, and the Holy Light Sword in the other, he effortlessly strode up to the church’s main entrance and stepped inside.
[You’ve entered the eerie Holy Light Church, earning 10 exploration points!]
“Finally made it inside, wasn’t easy… Wait, why is it like this in here?”
No sooner had Dean McKenzie stepped foot inside, than he was shocked by the state of things.
As soon as he walked in, a repugnant stench of decaying corpses hit him.
Pushing open the church door, Dean McKenzie saw the church floor littered with rotting corpses.
These skeletons, judging by their attire, must have been ordinary citizens of Fern City.
The number was far beyond expectation!
The church, no larger than ten thousand square meters, was jam-packed with tens of thousands of corpses!
“How can this be?
How did everyone in Fern City die here?”
Without thinking, Dean McKenzie cast the Appraisal Skill on the dead bodies.
Name: Corpse
Description: This victim seemed to have died during a certain ritual, giving their life to seal something.
“Ritual? Seal?”
Dean McKenzie blinked, a horrifying thought dawned upon him.
“Could it be the evil deeds of the Holy Light Assembly?”
Just then, a sound drew Dean McKenzie’s attention.
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
Turning his head, Dean McKenzie saw a woman not too far from the church entrance, repeatedly headbutting the main door.
She had resorted to such a method because both her arms were missing.
There were blood stains splattered all over the door from her banging her head against it.
Dean McKenzie tossed out another Appraisal Skill.
Name: Corpse Burdened with a Mother’s Determination
Description: Obsessed with finding her child, she miraculously found a way out, but lacked the strength to open the door to leave.
Reading the attributes, and then looking at the woman, Dean McKenzie’s heart twinged.
He subconsciously went over to help her open the door.
But even though the door was opened, the woman still couldn’t get out.
It was as if some invisible force had pinned her inside the church.
Simultaneously, in Dean McKenzie’s eyes, the woman’s attributes refreshed. [As a sacrifice to the ritual, until the ritual is broken, she cannot leave the church!]
Seeing the refreshed attributes, Dean McKenzie’s face turned gloomy.
His gaze subconsciously drifted towards the depths of the Holy Light Church.
His Wild Intuition was subtly activated, warning Dean McKenzie of the great horror within.
After Dean McKenzie had confirmed that he could open the Land of Bone inside the church, and summon his skeleton, he did so without hesitation.
Dean McKenzie directly summoned the skeleton and had it explore deep into the church.
Soon, the system prompt refreshed.
[You’ve discovered the [Church’s Sealed Object], earning 100 exploration points, totaling up to 1370 exploration points!]
Seeing this system prompt, and feeling that his skeleton hadn’t suffered mass casualties, Dean McKenzie finally proceeded inward.
He effortlessly strolled further into the church, arriving at its deepest part where he saw a skeletal hand.
Narrowing his eyes, he cast an Appraisal Skill.
Name: Crohn Merlin The Dead Ola’s Left Hand
Description: A bishop of the Holy Light Assembly, using the souls of thirty thousand people, performed an extravagant ritual to seal the Wraith Scourge power of it inside a container.
PS: Although this is a mere left hand, the six churches of Fern City are interconnected. If you attack one, you will face the power of all the sealed objects in all six churches.
“A bishop of the Holy Light Assembly? Thirty thousand souls? Crohn’s left hand? Wraith Scourge Power!”
With this information before his eyes, Dean McKenzie could piece together the event’s truth.
“So, the Holy Light Assembly is behind this?
They used thirty thousand lives to seal the power of Crohn’s Wraith Scourge?p>
No, not thirty thousand, that’s just for sealing one hand. There are five other places, at least a hundred and eighty thousand conservatively.
To casually sacrifice a hundred and eighty thousand lives for a mere ritual, the Holy Light Assembly sure does things on a grand scale!”
Dean McKenzie said coldly, with his view of the Holy Light Assembly dropping to the level of the Bloody Church.
While speaking, he waved his hand, and his skeletons charged forward under his command towards the altar that sealed Crohn’s left hand.
As the skeletons under Dean McKenzie’s command surged towards the altar, a horrifying power surged out from Crohn’s Left Hand.
In an instant, the advancing skeletons were completely obliterated.
Their parts scattered.
As the skeleton parts scattered, all their bones levitated and flew towards the center of the altar.
After that, those nearly a hundred skeletons converged.
Soon, an incredibly huge skeleton appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Name: Skeleton (Stitched Monster) imbued with Sealed Wraith Power and one hundred and eighty thousand souls
Quality: Perfect (Stitched)
Level: Level 81 (Same level as the entity that attacked the altar)
Trait: Undying (B-grade) (You cannot defeat it through ordinary means..
B-grade and below death-inducing traits will not affect it at all)
