The research institute in King's Town was a place to " produce " the Rebel Beasts, but it was not a place to refine the Holy Magic Medicine.
Although a few people could turn a beast into a Holy Magic Medicine with their bare hands, most people still needed to go through the tedious and laborious "Double Inverse Spiral" ritual to complete the tempering. Usually, the priests would choose a place with rich magic power that matched the attributes of the beast, so there were many tempering towers in the empire.
The Anti-Spiral Tower was one of them. Not only did they have to deal with the Perverted Beasts sent from Wangxia Town, but they also had to deal with the wild Perverted Beasts captured from all over the world.
" After we take down the Anti-Spiral Tower, all the Rebel Beasts locked inside will become our combat strength.”said Goodwin. "The Holy Magic Potion stored in the tower can be used to arm our compatriots.”
"They are my compatriots, not yours.”Clear Sky corrected.
"Aren't we compatriots?" Goodwin asked pitifully.
"I don't have any compatriots who are glowing all over.”Qing Kong rolled his eyes.
"Then who am I to you?" asked Goodwin.
"Friend." she said.
Oh. Friends were not bad either.
They flew to the Anti-Spiral Tower according to the address in Goodwin's memory. As the name suggested, the " Anti-Spiral Tower " was a tall minaret. The tower had two layers of spirals inside and outside, and the two layers of spirals were in opposite directions. The concentration of magic power here was abnormally high. Goodwin discovered that this place happened to be located on one of the pipes that supplied energy to the God's Punishment Cannon.
There seemed to be no satellites outside the tower, but he did not know what was going on inside.
"How do we get in?" Qing Kong asked. "Sneak in or attack?"
"Attack." said Goodwin. "The space in the tower is too small, there's no place to hide.”
"Wouldn't a strong attack alert the enemy?"
"That's just right. They'll divide their forces to defend the tempering towers in various places, and the number of defenders in King's Town will decrease.”
These two people were not suited for infiltration, so they could only attack forcefully.
Goodwin drew the Lightless Glimmering Moment out of thin air, slashed open the door, and rushed in.
There weren't many soldiers in the tower, and most of them were priests from the research post. Many of them knew magic, but most of them were not combat-type magic. They could only flee when they saw Goodwin and Clear Sky.
"Don't kill those who have already escaped.”Goodwin instructed Clear Sky. "Our time is limited."
They didn't encounter many obstacles and managed to reach the mountainside of the tower. They saw a rather spacious room filled with sturdy boxes.
"There must be a Saint Devil's medicine in the chest.”said Goodwin. "I smell magic."
"Sometimes, I think your soul should be a dog, not a salted fish.”Qing Kong said.
"It's a ribbonfish, okay? Although the ribbonfish lived in the sea, it was not salty at all.”Goodwin retorted.
"Lord Oracle predicted your arrival, traitor Goodwin.”From the shadows of the boxes, two monks walked out. One was in a black robe, and the other was in a white robe.
"Is that so? Then he really has divine foresight." said Goodwin. "I didn't know I was coming yesterday.”
"You know them?" Qing Kong asked.
"He looks familiar, but I don't know who he is.”said Goodwin.
The monks began to chant.
" I call your name in the name of the 32 Saints, the fourth follower of the Black-Eyed God, the Apostle of Flame and Thunder, Lord Luo Shan.”
" May the eighty-eight stars light up your path, Lord Sasha, the fifth follower of the God of Southwest, the Apostle of the Sky.”
Then, two apostles descended to the mortal world.
"I remember now," said Goodwin. "They are Summoners."
"You don't have to remember. You can see it if you're not blind.”Qing Kong said.
The male apostle with his left hand on fire and his right hand on electricity was Luo Shan. The female apostle with a baby face and a height of more than three meters was Sasha. Goodwin had fought alongside them.
"Doesn't summoning magic require a long time to chant?”Qing Kong asked. "How did you summon it so quickly?”
"They must have been singing here since yesterday. They finished the first sentence and waited for us to appear before they finished the last sentence.”
"Oh, then their Oracle is quite prescient.”
"Not necessarily. I think he has people guarding all the important facilities.”said Goodwin. "If he knew that we would appear in this tower, he would have sent an apostle like Tino Taylor to stop me.”
"It's us. I'm really sorry.”Veins popped out on Luo Shan's head.
"It's fine, it's fine. We're all people who fought together, so we know each other well.”said Goodwin. "So there's no need to continue fighting. Let's just skip this step. How about this: We'll take the medicine away and leave immediately. I promise we won't cause you any trouble. How about that?”
"Do you know how to write the word shame?”Sasha said.
"I haven't been in this world for long, so I haven't had the time to buy a dictionary.”Goodwin suddenly swung his sword at Sasha. A giant shield appeared in the air and blocked Sasha's attack. Qing Kong and Luo Shan also started fighting.
"Why did they send you? Sasha?" Goodwin dodged to Sasha's right and stabbed again. "You can't use your flying advantage indoors.”
"It's more than enough to deal with you.”Sasha waved her shield to block the lightsaber, and then stabbed at Goodwin with a greatsword that matched her size.
Goodwin sidestepped to avoid the stab and slashed at Sasha's lower body. However, Sasha's shield was about the same height as hers, enough to protect her lower body.
"Weapon Control Seal."
Suddenly, a force pulled Sasha's shield upward, revealing an opening below her. She wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Goodwin's lightsaber struck her ankle and she fell to the ground. Goodwin didn't chase after her. Instead, he charged at her summoner, the black-robed monk.
The monk took out his dagger to meet the attack. However, his attacks were too weak. Goodwin slapped him lightly on the face and he fainted.
"Now, your source of magic is cut off, Sasha.”Goodwin smiled at Sasha. "Do we continue fighting?"
Sasha gritted her teeth and stood up, answering Goodwin's question with her greatsword. "I will not yield to a traitor."
However, with every swing of her sword, her figure dimmed a little.
"The fiercer your attacks, the faster you will disappear.”Goodwin gently parried her sword.
"I will kill you before I disappear.”Sasha continued to swing her sword. "I know your level."
"You didn't forget, did you? When we fought side by side, you were constantly strengthened by the Soul Imprint, so you look about the same as me.”said Goodwin. "But now, I have the support of the Soul Seal, and you don't.”
He flashed behind Sasha. Her shield and sword were too heavy to turn around in time.
"I'm sorry, Sasha. I didn't tell you." He kicked her hard on the back. "I'm stronger than you."
Sasha fell to the ground. She could no longer stand up because her body had already turned into a bubble.
At this moment, Qing Kong and Luo Shan were at loggerheads. However, seeing his companion being knocked down, Luo Shan was obviously anxious.
"Do you need help?" asked Goodwin.
"No need." Qing Kong said.
"I know you don't want to help, but we don't have much time.”Goodwin picked up the white-robed monk. "Let's end this quickly."
Luo Shan hurriedly turned around and shot a fireball at Goodwin.
Goodwin gently released the white-robed monk and took a step back. The fireball missed.
At this moment, Qing Kong's spear, wrapped in black flames, pierced through Luo Shan. Luo Shan struggled for a while before falling down.
"I said I don't need help." Qing Kong said angrily.
"I didn't make a move either." Goodwin dragged the white-robed monk over. "I just dusted his collar.”
The white-robed monk shook off Goodwin's hand and pounced on Luo Shan's body.
"Lord Apostle! Lord Apostle!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Goodwin looked at Luo Shan in surprise. He had thought that Luo Shan would disappear like Sasha.
However, he did not.
Luo Shan just lay there quietly. Blood kept flowing out of his wounds, forming a dark red lake under his body.
The monk shook Luo Shan's body and then burst into tears. Luo Shan did not wake up.
He was dead.
"You should have killed that female apostle as well, instead of letting her disappear.”Qing Kong said. "One less apostle means one less enemy.”
Goodwin said nothing.
"…If I die, will I return to my original world, or will I disappear?”-- He once had such doubts.
Now, Luo Shan had answered his question.
If Goodwin was dead, then he was dead.
His soul would not have a second chance.
