Chapter 141: Is He Worthy of Being Called God?
"Hmph…"
The girl with blue hair let out a muffled sound.
The wizard was in trouble as the warrior-type thief got close to him. This was not a good sign.
In an instant, a surge of anger rushed to Karoso’s mind. His source of magic felt like a furnace, burning fiercely.
"Get out of my way!" Karoso threw a card.
[Name: Dance of Death]
[Category: Magic]
[Star Level: 3]
[Grade: Purple Epic]
[Job Requirement: Thief]
[Description: Quickly move towards the target and unleash a slashing attack]
Karoso transformed into a shadow, effortlessly bypassing the monsters in the mist. He moved gracefully like a dancer, swiftly approaching the person in black.
"She truly is your weakness," the person in black said with a hint of a smile on their face.
Poof!
The person in black’s long sword forcefully pierced through the blue-haired girl’s abdomen.
The blue-haired girl lowered her head, blood flowing from her mouth.
"My lord…"
Plop!
The man in a black cloak pulled the long sword out from her belly.
Snap…
The blue-haired girl knelt on the ground, her magic wand slipping from her hand.
Using all her strength, she used her magic to freeze her wound.
In an instant, a flood of memories rushed into Karoso’s mind.
At that moment, he saw Joe’s memories.
Joe was abandoned in his childhood, raised by an old thief, living in a den of thieves where deceit was rampant.
In his youth, due to a certain policy, thieves were being hunted down everywhere, living a precarious life every day until one day when he stole something from the Wisdom Goddess Church and met Tristan.
She didn’t punish him, instead, she gave him a loaf of bread and told him not to steal again since he was not on the wanted list.
At that moment, Joe seemed to have found a guiding light in his life.
The two became closer as Joe helped Tristan with his missionary work, and Tristan showed Joe love.
Joe used to only watch Tristan from afar, but one day, their relationship grew closer.
When the Wisdom Goddess Church faced a crisis, Tristan fought bravely for a day, and it was Joe who pulled her back from the brink of life and death.
After that, they hid together and lived under the same roof every day.
Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last, as they were eventually captured by members of the Church of Dawn Goddess.
To Joe, Tristan meant everything.
With a sword in her abdomen now, Joe could only watch helplessly.
A string called Reason broke inside Karoso’s mind!
A mighty force surged from Karoso’s body.
This power didn’t come from Surtr’s Divine Seal, nor from Karoso’s Professional Mark, but from his source of magic.
His magic burned wildly, increasing in speed by more than double.
Swish!
Karoso’s sword flashed, narrowly missing the black robe.
"Be angry, be desperate!" the black robe laughed. "Let me see how many mistakes you can make!"
Karoso’s eyes were crimson, but his hands moved more than twice as fast as before.
The Regicide Blade in his hand was like a venomous snake, striking at vital spots with each blade.
Now Karoso is fighting purely on instinct, using the thieves’ skills and his own skills too.
It seems like Karoso can always make the right decisions at all times.
Seeing that Karoso showed no signs of weakening and even appeared stronger, the man in black clothes became more serious.
Opportunity!
Karoso’s statistics were not as good as the man in black clothes’, as the man in black clothes’ long sword swept towards Karoso’s neck.
At that moment, his body jolted, and the sword missed!
He suddenly lowered his head, only to see Tristan gripping his ankle and staring at him intently.
"Let go!"
Thud!
Tristan kicked out in his black long coat, crashing into the wall.
This move also gave Karoso a chance.
"Die!" Karoso’s speed became even faster than before, as if he could become infinitely stronger!
His knife moved up and down, leaving afterimages even when no cards were used, forcing the black long coat to panic.
The black long coat tried to disappear into the shadows like before, but as his body had just vanished, Karoso’s Regicide Blade stabbed into the air beside him.
Spurt!
Karoso’s blade struck the black long coat’s abdomen.
"Impossible… You were already at your limit just now, you can only use that much of our master’s power…" The black long coat grabbed Karoso’s hands with his right hand, dropping the long sword to the ground.
Karoso did not know where his strength came from, gripping his own knife and charging forward crazily.
Bang!
The figure in black crashed into the wall, shattering it behind them.
There was no room behind the wall, only a deep pit. Karoso tightly grasped the Regicide Blade as they both fell from the second floor.
Bang…
They landed on the ground, and oil lamps suddenly lit up.
Before them stood a black statue, resembling the one in the Wax Museum.
But this statue had no head!
The figure in black looked terrified as they gazed at the headless black statue, muttering, "My lord…"
Pop!
While the man in the black cloak was distracted, Karoso pulled out his special knife from his stomach and stabbed him once, twice, three times…
The special knife kept moving in and out of his body, never stopping.
The man in the black cloak looked at the statue with a face full of despair.
He didn’t understand why everything in the ritual seemed right, but the statue was having problems.
Could it really be true, as this guy said, that the results of the ritual were being stolen? That can’t be!
When Karoso made the final stab, the man in the black cloak stopped breathing.
Karoso breathed heavily, the intense feeling of heat had disappeared.
This emotion belonged to Joe’s soul, coming and going quickly.
"Interesting little guy."
At that moment, the black statue suddenly made a deep sound.
Karoso didn’t speak, but took out a Communication Card and asked, "Neymar, how are you?"
"Her suction power has become stronger, I, I feel like I can’t hold on!"
Karoso slowly focused his gaze on the black deity statue and said, "I killed your Dependent, aren’t you angry?"
"I don’t care."
Seeing this, Karoso revealed a self-deprecating smile.
Indeed, how could a divine being care?
"The God of Wisdom is invading my sister’s body, how can I sever their connection?" Karoso asked.
"He dares to call himself the God of Wisdom? Just a mere incarnation gaining consciousness."
"So, how do I cut off their connection?"
"It’s simple, use the power that can kill gods."
"…Karoso silently looked at the statue in front of him, "What price do I have to pay to get this power?"
"Use that stone on your body, it stores too much magic, it can help you quickly reach the eighth-tier. If you are willing to sacrifice it to me, then you can borrow this power."
A card emitting red light appeared in front of Karoso.
