For the first time, he failed to achieve a complete victory in terms of strength. With some difficulty, Marin swung away the bone blade. At the same time, he saw the bloody holes on the spirit body's shoulders, which seemed to be wounds caused by nails.

The bone blade roared and struck again. Marin blocked the blow with the twig of the World Tree in his hand. He noticed that the spirit was crying silently, blood gushed out from her empty eye sockets, and crazy whispers were beside him.

echo.

You are not him, you are just a betrayer, a coward who betrayed us!

The bone blade collided with the twig again. Marin looked at the spirit in front of him. She was shouting, but there was nothing in her mouth.

I curse you, curse this world, curse everything!

Marin took a step back and drank a strength potion prepared from the fruit produced from the twigs of the World Tree. In the next three minutes, Marin would be a...monster with a strength close to 30.

The bone blade was swung open, and the long sword from the twig of the World Tree cut open the arm of the spirit in front of her. She was wailing and cursing.

There are no gods in this world, just some poor people who even believers cannot save! I curse all of this!

Taking a step back to avoid the incoming bone blade, the twigs in Marin's hands began to stab, and the spirit in front of him retreated a few yards away as if drifting in an instant.

I curse this world... Lingxiu's whisper echoed in Marin's mind.

It was the first time that Marin found that he could not cover up the whispers. Marin was a little confused, but this did not mean that he would stop his offensive. The twigs of the World Tree turned into a wand in an instant, and a ray penetrated the chest of this solid mind spirit body.

The scream disappeared into the air, but the whispers continued. This time, sad words replaced the previous madness.

Why, why, am I going to fail...

This spirit appeared in front of Marin. She knelt on one foot, supporting her alien creature with a bone blade, and raised her head to look at Marin.

It's a twig...this world...it turns out there are noble people...

Marin stopped pursuing.

this world?

"Where are you from, alien?" Marin asked.

I, I am... no... the spirit body wailed, and her spirit body began to completely materialize. The price for the flesh and blood to become real was that it finally completely and completely broke through the dimension, changing from a spirit body to a

an entity.

She began to burn, the twigs of the World Tree so effective in damaging her that the divine positive energy began to burn her body.

Until then, Marin finally saw the spirit body clearly. The bloody holes on her shoulders should have been caused by nails. There was not an inch of skin on her entire body, and her eyes were missing.

Although he didn't know her, he knew her counterpart.

Although it is twisted, it is really beautiful. The lines on it look like a little lamb that always likes to press its lungs.

The monster eventually turned to ashes, and a small metal object fell into the ashes.

Marin picked it out with a twig.

That's a copper buckle.

It looked like a very ordinary copper buckle. Marin didn't recognize this copper buckle, and he didn't have any clothes that used copper buckles.

With this understanding, Marin felt a little better - in this world where strange forces and chaotic gods were running amok, Marin was really scared at this moment.

He was afraid that this spirit was Lilim from another world... If it was really him, it would mean that they had failed in that world.

No one can escape death - whether it is a sharp blade or being transformed into a chaotic alien species, it is a manifestation of death.

Thinking of this, Marin calmly picked up the copper buckle, threw it into his pocket, and then turned to look at Sheldon: "It's over."

"Oh my God, it's finally over. It's the first time I've seen such a high-profile guy, and I'm almost scared to death." The giant-sized boy reached out and wiped his forehead.

"Unexpectedly simple? Or should I say, Mr. Marin, are you unexpectedly strong?" Mr. Assistant Minister stretched out his hand: "In any case, thank you, Mr. Marin, for giving a boy who is about to fail in the magic circle a slight remedy.

Opportunity."

"There, collect people's money for..." Before he could finish speaking, Marin shook hands with the deacon, and then there was a clear sound of bones cracking, as if what he had just pinched was not another person's flesh and blood, but a piece of paper.

Marin glanced at the twisted palm in his hand and was shocked to realize that the effect of his potion was not over yet.

"I...my potion is still effective." Marin looked at the assistant priest very embarrassed.

"I know." The assistant priest nodded. He was sweating and retracted his hand after Marin let go: "Thirty points of strength?"

"I don't know, I haven't tested it." Marin was a little embarrassed.

So the deacon was put on the carriage. Thanks to his previous responsibility for dealing with the ghosts who wanted to come and participate in the grand event, Logan finally got on the roof of the car this time. He drove the carriage and took the deacon first to see a doctor.

Sheldon rushed his horse and said that he would let Cross and Lilim do the work.

So Marin had to make do with it and let the two girls mount the horse. The horse was a bit fierce at first and seemed dissatisfied with the little kid on its back. Marin had to call out Gorehowl, who faced an ax bigger than his own head.

Mr. Ma had to choose to surrender to avoid violence coming uninvited.

"Lilim, the spirit body just now really looks like you. You both have such big horns."

"The rabbit in the cage looks very much like you."

The two girls on horseback were very good at which pot to open and which pot to lift, but listening to the conversation between the two parties, Marin felt somewhat relieved - the girls obviously didn't take the spirit body seriously, and thanks to it

Lilim, Cross, and if Faye is smarter, this girl may not be able to contain her imagination now.

The whisper spoken by the spirit also made Marin very confused. The pronunciation of male and female in common language was different, which allowed Marin to confirm that he was a male. So the question now is - who betrayed them?

Who knows, maybe this is just a whisper from the spirit to disturb the other person's mind.

Thinking of this, Marin glanced at Sheldon: "This time I help you deal with that guy, what will your score be like?"

"It will probably deduct 20 points, but considering that the summoned target is too powerful, maybe the deduction points will be halved. In addition to the deduction points for the magic formation, it may be barely passed, or it may be just right."

Sheldon sighed after saying this: "But no matter what, you are right. If you fail the exam, you will only graduate one year late. But if you die in battle like your sister... the thought of dying like this

, it may make my parents sad, but I think it’s better to survive. Thank you, Marin.”

"You're welcome, thank you for your money, kid." Marin smiled and patted the non-existent dust on his hands - this kid was so tall that he couldn't even pat his back.

"...But after all, money can't buy life, otherwise my sister wouldn't have died." Sheldon sighed.

His words made Marin silent for a moment... Yes, the most priceless thing in the world is life.

"After going through this, I must work hard to learn magic circles. Lady Luck will not always take care of me." Sheldon said here and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Marin."

"The effect of the potion is still there." Marin looked at this bold boy and said.

Sheldon took back his hand with a sneer on his face.

………………

Back at the church, Marin met Faye, and immediately talked with Cross and Lilim about their adventure stories. Faye was so happy when he heard that they fell into the crack and then fell in front of Marin again.

Broken - there is nothing controllable about falling into a rift and returning to the main plane. Without the strength of the second ring, the void is not a day trip, but a death stranding during the journey.

"Did the thunder just now come from your side?"

"No, the explosion happened on our side."

After Marin finished speaking, he turned to look at Cross and Lilim: "Did you hear thunder?"

"Not at all." The two orc girls shook their heads.

"That's weird." Faye shrugged and noticed the scar on Marin's hand: "What is this?"

"The erosion of negative energy." Marin also noticed a black spot on the back of his hand: "It's okay. I've drank a potion prepared from the fruit of the World Tree. Such a spot will subside soon."

"Then I'm relieved. Speaking of which, every time you go out alone, I always feel scared. When I was a child, my mother and father always went out. I have never experienced such a feeling. I also feel that everything written in the novel is...

It's just the ramblings of a scholar. Now that I think about it, I'm still too young."

"How old are you, silly girl." Marin smiled and patted the small beads on the girl's hair: "What is this."

"It's a hair tie from the Eastern Kingdom. It's unexpectedly cute." Faye said, "By the way, how are we going to solve it tonight?"

"We want to eat the delicious food made by Mr. Marin." Cross and Lilim raised their hands and shouted.

Marin smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem."

"You dote on them too much." Faye said with a smile in Marin's ear.

"What do you want to eat?" Marin asked.

"The fruit salad you made yourself." Faye answered immediately.

Marin smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch the girl's nose - he said no, but his stomach was very honest.
