Chapter 10: Making a debut
Translator: Sigma Editor: – –
The battle once again fell into a repeating cycle: The group of loggers—except for the bald guy with a little more quintessence—- kept on repeating the same cycle, which was like a meat grinder, and constantly rushed over to destroy the skeletons .
But the wooden fence had already been broken where all of the human resources were combined in, constantly resisting the massive, persistent tides of the skeleton army . After all, this was not a good situation .
As the battle continued, the loggers started to get injured continually . Due to the influences of their injuries, their physical strengths quickly went downhill . The number of loggers who could continue fighting were getting lesser and lesser . The duration of the bald man’s rest was getting shorter as well . Later on, he had no choice but to fight by himself at the front line, relying on his own strength to keep the front line from collapsing .
This bald dude was indeed a persistent man . He continually fought . The mouths of the wounds on his body were also opening wider and wider . As time flew, his clothes were gradually stained by blood . However, he just clenched his teeth, didn’t back off or displayed the slightest glimpse of being exhausted . Instead, he was strongly holding on .
But fighting with only his valor was not enough . Judging from the constant increase in the number of wounds on his body and the fact that his moves had gradually slowed down, he must not be able to have possibly hang on for any longer .
Seeing that the bald guy couldn’t persist anymore, Sui Xiong silently nodded his head, and jumped out from the deep hiding place in the forest .
Maybe this village still had other plans, but Sui Xiong couldn’t helplessly stand there and see a hero shedding his blood to save other people .
His giant body stirred of a huge wind . His bulky tentacles waved, broke an ancient tree, overturned the ground, created a huge mark on the ground, which was like one that had been left by a hurricane, opening a path for Sui Xiong to move forward . He charged forth ten miles over the empty land .
“Demacia!”
The giant jellyfish used a language that nobody in this world could understand . He screamed out a line from a game, swung up his tentacles, charged towards the group of skeletons gathering in front the great gate that were aggressively slamming against it .
Bang!
There were at least more than hundreds of skeletons that were crushed by the impact of his weight . The ground was immediately left with a huge deep crater . This giant beast had really released its full strength .
To these fellows who just had bones left, this giant jellyfish was unexpectedly so powerful .
“Haiz haiz! Can you, bunch of losers, see it! I am strong, super strong, and incredibly irresistible!”
Sui Xiong laughed out loud and continued launching strikes from his tentacles . He was continually beating up the skeleton army until they were utterly routed . Although he in fact, had only just brought out a small fraction of his strength, this kind of power level was enough to sweep away the millions of enemy troops .
The villagers, who were fighting hard, were all dumbstruck . They didn’t think that such a table-turning situation like this could have ever happened .

In a bush, a Gallen jumped out . (It was a game veteran . ) But who could ever imagine such a big dragon would appear out of nowhere?
Luckily, Sui Xiong had renovated this body to make it gentler a little bit . Except for the over-size appearance, it didn’t have any fierce or ferocious features . Its skin was thick . Its facial appearance was common . There was not any pattern or abnormality on its body . It was just simply an enormous thick-skinned beast that was full of tentacles . In comparison with those skeletons, its body was even less terrifying .
This was an elephant and a dog . Although the elephant was way bigger than a dog, its combat force could kill a dog Judging by the look outside, the elephant had clearly looked much friendlier than the dog .
Especially when this elephant was protecting you from being hurt by the dog .
Having seen Sui Xiong appearing out of nowhere, each one of his tentacles was waving wildly and a bunch of bones was scattered everywhere . As a result, the villagers all cheered up .
Among the crowd behind, in the stone house where Sui Xiong’s sense couldn’t penetrate in . On the other hand, a pair of aged eyes didn’t even have the slightest glimpse of joy but was both horrified and scared .
“It is a living monster! Where on earth does this legendary monster come from?” The Scared Hall’s priest from the White Leaf Village’s Night Watchman was fiercely staring at the giant beast among those skeletons which had been scattered everywhere . He was so enveloped in his rage to the point that his beard was shaking .
He had spent a lot of time and efforts, wasted a big amount of resources, had been well prepared towards everything as well at the back . He took advantage of the time when the great skeleton army was burned into ashes to increase the religious level of this village in a large scale, developed some mad believers, which by the way had encouraged the villagers to become more independent . His missionary work really affected his methods of handling the bald man .
Everything happens very smoothly as well . I just need to follow the plan, step by step . When the bald man is about to collapse, I just need to launch my hidden card, and then appear under the name of a savior . These villagers will definitely bow their heads to me—ah, not right, if they just bow their heads to me, it would not be sincere enough . They have to sincerely follow me, like myself, giving my all to the Emperor . In that way, the Emperor would gain more trusts from them, I can then implement my life value . In this short life, I can lift my head and advance towards the Emperor . . . .
He had planned out everything really carefully, step by step . Everything was already in his hands .
However, this damned monster has ruined everything!
Hateful ! Judging from his giant body and mighty power, he must be a legendary brutal monster that was born to blow people’s mind, making other people frightened . How come he protects the human!
The age of the black robe covering the whole priest’s body was very old . When he was young, he used to be an adventurer, had gone from South to North . While spreading his belief in God’s light, he gathered wealth to increase his power . He had seen all these giant monsters, which had powers to make other people feel desperate . They made use of their powers to freely do anything that they wanted, arrogantly and despotically .

But right now, he had met a monster, which was way out of his expectations .
He was formidable but not brutal, on the contrary, was very friendly .
It was not only once did he see that monster had fought hard to protect the villagers from getting hurt . He even took the loss sometimes and even let the skeletons attack him several times, in using his body to shield the villagers from the oncoming slaughter .
No doubt, this is a kind-hearted monster . Maybe it is not a mortal monster, but it is from a world full of peace and warmth .
A Heavenly Creature? A Heavenly Jellyfish? Haven’t heard of it yet . . .
After being skeptical, he was getting angrier . To a person who had been through so many ups and downs like the old priest, failing to carry out this plan was not a big deal, and he had to endure this failure right in front of his eye for the success as well as avoiding the disappointments in the future .
This big-sized fellow has been so friendly to mankind . More likely could stay in this area and hold the role of a protection saint for this area . With his protection, this village and its neighborhoods surely won’t need any more supernatural powers to overcome the crisis in the future . This might be not a big problem if the one we are dealing with is a virtuous God . But if he is an evil god, who relies on fear and threats, then it would literally be a disaster for us!
Not to mention the fact that kindness and evil are mortal enemies . Even this kind-hearted monster who doesn’t have brutal intentions to slaughter all the evil spirits . Would he be merciful when facing an evil-god priest all covered in black, whose heart and lungs have been heavily broken?
I am afraid that after he has swiped across the great skeleton army, as soon as the day comes, he will smash the sacred sanctuary of the Emperor . . .
The old priest’s heart was beating crazily like the blacksmith’s bellow . The anger was surging inside of him, which possibly made him go crazy .
Absolutely intolerable!
He angrily and frighteningly walked back and forth, which made all the girls around, who were in charge of assisting the ritual, became anxious and panicked . Luckily, he had soon woken up and had restored his calmness .
Anger couldn’t solve any problems, but on the contrary, it would bring many problems . He needed to stay calm . Everything could still be saved .
At this moment, the power of the humans had been already useless . He could just only pray to the great God, the God of Intelligence .
“A loyal night watchman, a sleepless man protecting the sacred shrine, your servant is here to pray . Your servant’s little wisdom is enough to face the situation in front . May you use your endless wisdom to guide me through, and to show me what to do!”
At the beginning, his prayer wasn’t responded . But not too long after, there was a strange light coming out of a small shrine . The light was genuinely gloomy, and didn’t bring forth any eye-glaring feelings . It was both warm, calm, and extremely peculiar .
Along this strange light, there was also an unknown willpower . When this willpower touched the old priest, it immediately disappeared . At the same time, the strange light vanished without a trace as if it hadn’t actually appeared .
“So strange! Isn’t my feelings wrong?” When the light came out, Sui Xiong could feel the energy that he hated suddenly became more formidable . He unconsciously glanced over the stone house on the other side, but he didn’t see any abnormal situation . When he had decided to carefully look into the stone house, the energy had dissipated, as if nothing had ever happened . He couldn’t help but doubt whether or not his feeling was a delusion .
However, this kind of thought just lasted for a second . It was not easy to deal with the great skeleton army and protect the villagers at the same time . At this moment, when he had suppressed the majority of his powers, it had become more difficult . He didn’t have any room for distractions .
After all, there was still a lot of time left . He still had time to communicate with them slowly . So, he didn’t rush .
But since he didn’t rush, on the other hand, his enemies were really hasty .
In the stone house, in front of the shrine, the old priest, who had originally closed his eyes praying, opened his eyes . There was no longer worry and anxiety in his eyes . Instead, they were full of joys .
“This is good enough! The time for me to return to my God time has finally come! The time for me to return to the glorious time of my life has finally come!”
He laughed out loud while opening his treasure trunk, taking out a wooden stick .
There were many stains on the black wooden stick . If looking closely, one must have found out that they were the traces of dried blood . The stinky bloody smell filling up the air had proved this point . The wooden stick was exceptionally sharp . There were two small blood brains on both ends of the stick . Fresh blood flowed out strongly from the blood brains, covered the entire wooden stick with many special patterns . And these “Patterns” could convert fresh blood into dark power, rapidly turning from into a circle-shape sacrifice formation structure, turning the victim into the evil god’s offering .
Many years ago, when the old priest was still a young pastor, it had cost a huge fortune to ask an evil wizard to make this wooden stick . He named it “Offering” . He had used it many times for an act of the sacrificial ritual, not only once did he use these offerings to please the Gods .
This wooden stick had made a huge contribution to his success of becoming a master in hosting this sacred place .
Today, he had to use this wooden stick .
This time, he wanted to present the best offerings!
