Chapter 143: The Power of the Air Burst Technique, Relic Acquired!
After reporting to the Demon Hunting Army, Lin Ye did not return to Macondo Town to rest.
He directly used Space Movement to get nearby, closely monitoring the actions of the Demon Hunting Army.
According to the reconnaissance by the little mice, the current combat strength of both the Demon Hunting Army and the cultists is almost evenly matched. In fact, the Demon Hunting Army, despite having fewer numbers, slightly has the upper hand in combat strength.
After all, the cultists of the Demon God of Birth are not known for their combat strength.
In battles of the same level, as long as a Professional is at least up to standard, they can basically single-handedly kill a cultist of the Demon God of Birth.
Moreover, according to Lin Ye's understanding of the Demon Hunting Army, once these guys confirm the correctness of the information source, they absolutely won't delay.
Not to mention, there's a presence in the cathedral that could transform into a Demon General at any moment.
So even if they wanted to deploy slowly, they couldn't afford the time.
The longer it drags on, the fewer advantages they have in this situation.
...
Three days passed in a blur.
In these three days, apart from briefly closing his eyes to rest, Lin Ye did not take a break.
During the day, Lin Ye searched everywhere for relics, while at night, he monitored both the Demon Hunting Army and Demonic Birth cultists for any movement, fearing he might miss the moment the two sides started fighting.
Although he almost went without sleep for three days, Lin Ye still made some significant gains. He luckily found a Level 40 green relic in a very hidden place.
After using it, it directly upgraded the Healer to Level 23 and the Space Mage to Level 20.
This relic is the highest-level one he's obtained since entering this ruin.
"If a Level 40 green relic is this powerful, I can't even imagine how much more the orange relic in the cathedral would upgrade me if used…"
Though relics upgrade quickly, over the years, the more obvious and relatively easier-to-find ones have mostly been scavenged by waves of Adventurers.
The remaining ones are, so to speak, tucked away in various nooks and crannies, places ordinary people wouldn't notice.
If Lin Ye didn't have the 'True Sight' talent, he probably wouldn't have found many relics either.
Under such circumstances, the relic in the cathedral seems particularly valuable.
And after waiting for three days, tonight, the Demon Hunting Army finally began to act.
After confirming the intelligence and preparing in advance, the Demon Hunting Army finally took action.
If it wasn't for the fear of further delay leading to the birth of the Demon General, Fang Tianming would've waited for reinforcements.
But that would take at least another two or three days.
And Fang Tianming couldn't wait any longer.
That night, members of the Demon Hunting Army's dagger squad approached the cathedral under the cover of darkness.
Little did they know, up in the sky, someone was quietly watching their actions.
Under the joint spellcasting of several Mages, the already ruined cathedral instantly turned into a sea of flames.
If they rashly attacked like this, it would certainly alert the enemy.
But at this moment, Fang Tianming was completely confident he could wipe out everyone in this den.
Because in the past three days, that mysterious person had sent plenty of intelligence.
Among them, maps of the various exits of the cathedral's basement were included, and arrangements had already been made to wait for the cultists of Demonic Birth at those places.
"Poison gas, fire oil… Tsk tsk, as expected of the Demon Hunting Army, their methods are indeed treating Demons as beasts."
Lin Ye looked down at all this and couldn't help but praise repeatedly.
But it's normal…
The majority of the Demon Hunting Army members harbor deep hatred against the Demon God's minions.
The ruthlessness of their actions can indeed sometimes make uninformed people feel terrified, and occasionally, excessive force by the Demon Hunting Army even causes harm to the innocent.
So even though they're the Warriors on the front line against the Demon God's minions, the reputation of the Demon Hunting Army in human society isn't particularly good.
The night sky over this ruin quickly turned crimson, illuminated by the sea of fire.
And the cultists hiding within couldn't bear the scorching heat, forced to emerge from the basement by the poison gas coming from hidden exits.
But once they showed themselves, they were met with the merciless slaughter of the Demon Hunting Army Warriors!
Caught off guard, the Demonic Birth cultists stood no chance in this massacre.
Before these Warriors with hearts as hard as iron, the charm tactics commonly used by Demonic Birth cultists were utterly ineffective.
The battle at the cathedral was clearly at a fever pitch.
And Lin Ye took this opportunity to sneak into the cemetery.
"Senior, I apologize for the intrusion."
Without a hint of politeness, Lin Ye uttered an apology and immediately cast an Air Burst Technique at the ground.
He had already come to check the contents of this tombstone.
Buried here was a powerhouse named Huo, who once served as the City Lord of Old Shantou City, and shortly after his death, a disaster erupted that completely destroyed the city.
Relics usually take at least ten years to condense after a Professional's death.
So this senior's relic had remained buried here in this tomb, only now found by Lin Ye.
Although it's unethical to rob graves, the fact that this senior didn't have himself cremated suggests he was prepared, hoping someday his relic could be used by future generations.
With one Air Burst Technique, a large hole was blasted into the ground before the tombstone.
After days of practice, Lin Ye's control over the Air Burst Technique had improved significantly.
This explosion was just enough to open the coffin of this senior without damaging the remains inside.
At that moment, an orange beam of light, visible only to Lin Ye, shot up into the sky!
Lin Ye quickly picked up the relic and, without checking, tossed it into his Spatial Bag.
Then, he immediately performed a Space Movement, teleporting into a nearby half-collapsed building…
The battle at the cathedral continued.
No one noticed what happened over at the cemetery.
At this point, Fang Tianming was fiercely battling with an indescribable monster, his Beheading Great Saber clashing continually with the monster's tentacles, yet failing to inflict any substantial damage.
"Enough, I'll give you a hand!" Lin Ye shook his head.
Evidently, the strength of this fleshy mountain was somewhat beyond expectations.
If this continued, Fang Tianming would be worn down until all advantages were lost!
