A Summoner without an apostle was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The battle was already over.
However, Qing Kong did not intend to let them go. She raised her spear.
Goodwin suddenly pounced in front of the white-robed monk and used his body to protect him.
"I'll help you stop her. Take your companions and run.”Goodwin whispered in his ear.
The monk was dumbfounded.
"I was controlled by her evil magic and had no choice but to stand on her side.”Goodwin continued. "Tell this to the Oracle and ask him to send someone to free me.”
Then, he threw the black-robed monk into the arms of the white-robed monk and kicked them down the stairs.
Seeing that the monks had rolled away, Qing Kong asked,""What the hell are you doing?"
"If they believe that I have betrayed them, the position of the girl who summoned me will be difficult.”Goodwin said slowly. "But if I was controlled by your yao arts, they wouldn't make things difficult for her.”
"The one who summoned you was a woman? A young woman?" Qing Kong asked.
"Yes, I am. What's wrong?"
"…Nothing."
Next was the time to harvest the spoils of war.
They opened the boxes piled up in the room and found that they were filled with medicine, but most of them were not Holy Magic Potions.
"What kind of medicine is this?”asked Goodwin.
"These are magic potions. After drinking them, one could use the corresponding magic, but it could only be used once.”Qing Kong said. "This is a by-product of the failed ritual.”
"You really know a lot."
"Is that so? This knowledge was exchanged with the blood of my compatriots.”
Although the magic potion could not permanently strengthen a person, it could become a sharp weapon on the battlefield. If there were suddenly a hundred or a thousand people in the army who could use magic, even if they could only use it once, it would be enough to turn the tide of the battle.
"If this thing is so powerful, why haven't I seen the Imperium's army use it before?”
"Because using it requires the price of one's life.”Qing Kong said. "Drinking it means death."
So this was what it meant to only use it once.
"So it's still useless.”said Goodwin.
"No, it's useful." Qing Kong said. "We're taking them with us."
"You want to sacrifice your own people?”
"For us, death is a blessing. Moreover, it can let us die in a worthy way.”Qing Kong said calmly, as if he was narrating an unimportant matter. "Have you forgotten? If we are captured by them, we will become their fuel and be used to slaughter our compatriots. Compared to this, what was death?”
The two of them definitely couldn't carry so many boxes, but there were still some perverted beasts locked up on the top floor of the tower. After they were released, they voluntarily played the role of porters, moving hundreds of boxes back to the temporary base in the forest.
After returning to the base, they counted all the boxes and found eight bottles of Holy Magic Potion. This could be considered an unprecedented harvest, although it was a little shabby compared to the number of boxes.
Among the eight bottles of medicine, one could be used by Goodwin, one could be used by Clear Sky, and the other six could be left for their comrades.
Goodwin's bottle of Holy Magic Potion had given him the Mark of the Stars. The engraved pattern was made up of nine silver star-shaped imprints. Its function was to summon nine " stars " that had combat ability and could fight independently.
Clear Sky's Holy Magic Potion gave her the " Seal of Poisonous Corrosion ", which was used to apply poison to her weapon. There was no cure for this poison, and it could rot a person's flesh in a few seconds. It was quite brutal. A savage soul must be matched with a savage imprint.
"Then, let's go to the next tempering tower.”said Goodwin.
"You know the address?" Qing Kong asked.
"I don't know, but there's a way to find out.”he said.
The ritual of the Double Inverse Spiral required the consumption of magic resources. Therefore, it was not difficult to imagine that the other tempering towers must be built directly above the magic power transmission tubes, just like the Inverse Spiral Tower. All the tubes converged at King's Town, so they only needed to return to King's Town and use Goodwin's Wind-reading Imprint to read the magic veins of the tubes. Then, they would be able to follow their tracks to find the other tempering towers.
Thus, after a short rest, they moved on to their second goal. The Anti-Spiral Tower was located in the southeast of Wangxia Town, so this time, they deliberately moved along the northwest pipeline. In the end, they found a lonely tower on an empty grassland.
There were also two apostles guarding the tower. One was called Mons, who was good at using holy magic. One was called Winnie, and the other was good at using water magic. Holy countered darkness, and clean water countered mud. These two people happened to be the type that Clear Sky was not good at dealing with.
"Why don't you just stop attacking? I can beat them up by myself.”Goodwin said to Clear Sky.
He could use them to test his new imprint.
"The thousand lights of the galaxy are my wings, the Mark of the Stars!”
Goodwin felt as if his soul had been ripped off, and the ribbonfish cried out in pain. These small pieces of souls materialized into dazzling lights and appeared around him.
"Flowing Light Salvo."
At Goodwin's command, nine rays of " starlight " shot towards Mons and Winnie. They sidestepped, and Starlight turned a corner behind them and flew after them again.
"This is a tracking bullet. You won't be able to escape.”
Since that was the case, they would not escape.
"Iron Prison Imprint!" Mons summoned a holy barrier to protect him and Winnie. The 'starlight' couldn't penetrate the barrier and could only hit its shell again and again.
Goodwin felt that his ribbonfish was howling again.
"Looks like your new imprint isn't that good.”Qing Kong said sarcastically.
Goodwin was furious.
"Soul Seal!" Lightless Shining Moment!"
He strengthened his own strength, then mustered all his strength and brandished his sword of light to shatter the Holy Barrier. The barrier shattered, and the " starlight " finally landed on Mons and Winnie's faces.
"The eternal god of the Mark of Stars!”Goodwin sang the praises of his new imprint.
"I didn't want to use this move." Torrent Seal!" Winnie summoned a torrent. The torrent washed away Starlight, as well as Goodwin and Clear Sky. The space inside the tower was too small, and they had nowhere to hide. They could only let the water flow wash them from the tower to the bottom and out of the tower door.
"Just this?" Qing Kong wiped the water off his face and mocked Goodwin.
Then, they saw Mons, Winnie, and their Summoner being washed out of the tower by the water.
"Why can't you differentiate between friend and foe?!”Mons complained.
" That's why I said I didn't want to use this trick..." Winnie muttered.
Since everyone had left the tower, they would just fight outside the tower.
Mons and Winnie swarmed up and attacked Goodwin with their swords. Qing Kong retreated to the side and watched as Goodwin was surrounded and beaten up by the two.
Mons slashed his sword at Goodwin's face, but Goodwin blocked it with his sword. Winnie took the opportunity to stab Goodwin in the back. Goodwin couldn't block two swords at the same time, so he could only dodge in a sorry state. Mons and Winnie chased after him. They attacked Goodwin from two different angles, one on the left and one on the right. Goodwin was unable to defend himself and could only retreat.
As he retreated, his back was already against the wall of the tower. Finally, there was no way out. Mons leaped high into the air and slashed down with his sword. Winnie lowered her body and slashed at Goodwin's calf with her sword. This time, he couldn't dodge it no matter what.
At this moment, the starlight appeared.
Three rays of starlight met Mons 'sword, while another three blocked Winnie's sword. The seventh " starlight " flew towards Mons 'face and hit his front teeth. Mons lost his balance and fell to the ground in pain. The eighth " starlight " shot at Winnie. She hurriedly dodged, but the ninth " starlight " hit her wrist and she lost her sword. Goodwin took the opportunity to attack and cut Winnie's side with his sword. Blood splattered everywhere.
"Did you see that? This was the correct usage of the Mark of the Stars.”Goodwin boasted to Clear Sky.
Then, he glanced at Winnie's Summoner. "Hurry up and find a place to treat her. If you lose too much blood, even an apostle will die…"
Before he finished speaking, Mons shot out a beam of light and hit Winnie's injured side. Then, her wound was blocked by an unknown glowing substance and stopped bleeding.
"What kind of magic is this…?"
"Healing wounds is the foundation of sacred magic.”Mons said.
"You don't seem to know how to do it." Qing Kong teased.
"Like I said, I'm a soul type, not a holy type.”Goodwin defended himself.
Just as the wound stopped bleeding, Winnie picked up her sword and attacked again. Goodwin had blocked her attack, but he did not expect her to spit at him. As the saying went, it was easy to dodge a clear sword, but difficult to defend against a hidden phlegm. When you were focused on fighting with your sword, no one could avoid being spat at.
However, Goodwin soon realized that Winnie was not spitting phlegm, but a sharp water column. Fortunately, a ray of starlight arrived in time and blocked the water pillar for him. Winnie snapped her fingers, and more than 20 water pillars shot at him at the same time. The "starlight" was obviously not enough.
At this critical moment, Mons attacked Goodwin from behind. Hey, it's illegal for Holy System players to backstab!
"Star Mark! The stars are dazzling!"
Dozens of " starlight " suddenly burst out from Goodwin's body. They blocked Mons 'sword and Winnie's water pillar, raining down on them and sending them flying.
"Since it's a 'group' star imprint, it can't have only nine stars.”Goodwin said proudly.
At this moment, his ribbonfish was rolling on the ground in pain.
