236 Sudden Turn of Events (2/2)

And with her all-time supporting, Shin was able to focus solely on improving himself without him knowing about it. He even forgot everything, and the only thought that was running inside his mind was to improve himself, sharpen his skills and became stronger.

Shin was unaware of how much time had passed when he was in this state. He didn't even notice that the others were already done with the other corrupted monsters on their sides and was currently helping him at taking down this monster.

He only regained his usual self when the third corrupted monster was taken down. He snapped out from that stated and came back to reality almost immediately, and suddenly heard Simba's voice saying.

”Looks like you are already awake. How was your progress? Did you manage to get a good harvest this time?”

Then Shin turned his head at Simba with a stunned expression on his face and not sure how to respond at that question.

And before he managed to give a reply, Cloe suddenly said to them. ”That is not important right now. First, let's focus on this guy to finish our quest.”

Then those two directed their attention at Archbishop Hervil. And at the same time, Zero finally 'let go' of the archbishop and put some distance between the two of them.

Seeing the frustrated look at the archbishop's face, Lawless couldn't help himself but asked. ”Is he going to reveal his real strength now, and show that his is some sort of Corrupted Elder? Or is he going to transform into a corrupted monster just like the previous three?”

Simba nodded his head and said. ”Maybe? The difficulty of this quest will not live up to its name if it is this easy to clear.”

”Hehe… Kukukuku…”

Then the others suddenly heard the archbishop laughing with some evil tone. They would naturally knit their brows after hearing that.

And that was when Archbishop Hervil started talking. ”We done kids. It looks like I underestimated you a little too much. But that is still fine, since you guys still can't prevent us from turning this City into the largest Corrupted Nest in this Kingdom.”

”Did this guy was beaten so badly by the Sword God to spout out this nonsense in the middle of the battle?” muttered Lawless after hearing that.

At the same time, Shin and the others were still looking at the archbishop confusedly when the latter continue at what he was talking about. ”What are you still waiting for? Don't tell that sacrificing those three are still not enough? You need to make your move now, so that we can finally proceed to the next plan.”

The group was suddenly gotten off-guard at those words, which also made them to be struck numb after hearing it.

'Something terrible is about to happen.' This was the signal that their instincts were telling them when they heard that.

And the first ones to realized and fast enough to respond on it was Shin and Zero, which made them to immediately made their moves.

But unfortunately for the Sword God, the archbishop wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine. A bunch of golden walls suddenly appeared around him and trapping him inside.

Shin, on the other hand, immediately used the 'Death Travel' Skill attached on his lower armor without further ado. It was for him to instantly appeared beside Cloe.

But too bad for him, it was already too late.

Puchi!

A longsword already pierced Cloe's abdomen while being stabbed from her back. Then the assaulter suddenly forced the sword to move rightwards to lacerate her body in half together with some splattering blood effects of the game.

Then the time seem to stopped moving at this point when everyone witnessed this sight. They were completely gotten off-guard by the sudden turned of events!
