Chapter 159: Breaking the Formation!

In the midst of the battlefield in Golden Lily Alley,

As the monsters surged forth, they fell like wheat before the attacks of William and the others, and Bivis and his companions had also dispatched the golden-level monsters they faced.

By the time the last monster fell beneath Bivis’s hand, the battlefield was nearly entirely covered in blood and strewn with limbs and flesh. The soldiers stood in place, panting heavily as if dredged from the blood, waiting for Bivis’s orders.

The moment the monsters appeared, Bivis had the Golden Lion Knights control the area, though a few unlucky bystanders were unfortunately caught in the fray.

This outcome was already much better than what William had experienced in his past life! Bivis instructed the squad leaders to organize their troops; there was no time for rest as even more arduous battles lay ahead.

“William, what do we do now?” Bivis walked over the corpses of the monsters, a hint of relief on his face.

Thankfully, they had discovered the plans of the Beast God Cult in advance. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to wrap things up.

That’s why he was asking William’s opinion first.

William pointed to the location of the basement from earlier and said to Bivis, “Can you stop the ritual formation in the basement?”

Bivis nodded. He had almost forgotten about that formation, as all his focus had been on eliminating the monsters.

“No problem. I brought means to deal with it from the Dawn Church,” Bivis said, leading William and the others as they leaped down from the opening in the ground, revealing the blood ritual formation engraved on the basement floor.

The entire formation seemed unaffected by the falling rocks, still operating normally, albeit with a more vibrant crimson hue than before.

“I suspect the Beast God Cult caused such a commotion precisely to provide blood power to the formation. This should be the crux of their plans,” William said cautiously, observing the crimson runes on the ground.

Odysseus stepped forward to study it for a moment, then shook his head. “The principle is simple, but the power of the formation should come from the Beast Lord. It’s too high-level for me to decipher in a short time.”

“Well, good thing I brought this.” Bivis retrieved a glass vial containing pure white liquid from his storage ring. The vial held only three or four drops of liquid, emitting a warm, comforting light but also exuding a sense of lofty grandeur.

“Is this… holy water?” William asked, puzzled. He had used advanced holy water from the Dawn Church before, but compared to what Bivis held, its power seemed as feeble as fireflies compared to the radiant moonlight.

“Not exactly. This is the divine power of the Dawn God,” Bivis sighed, marveling at the vial in his hand.

“If the Beast God Cult hadn’t provoked the White Robes so much this time, I doubt they would have brought out the pure divine power of the Dawn God.”

“But this is the most efficient method. Whatever arrangements they have, they will be purified by the divine power of the Dawn God.”

After all, it was the mighty divine power of a god standing at the pinnacle of the pantheon!

William pondered silently; this single drop of pure Dawn God’s power could probably dilute into hundreds of vials of advanced holy water he had used before.

Bivis stood by the crimson runes, uncorking the vial and carefully dropping a drop of Dawn God’s power onto the flowing crimson. Then, he hurriedly put the vial away.

There are still several formations ahead; we must use it sparingly!

As the drop of Dawn God’s power fell onto the crimson runes, it seemed to cause a violent fluctuation in the formation under the attacks of the crowd, gradually fading the crimson within the runes, revealing large patches of silver-white atop the formation.

Ding~

An impassioned voice resounded in everyone’s ears. The blood sacrifice formation of the Beast Lord had been completely stripped of its crimson under the influence of the Dawn God’s power, reduced to traces of gray-brown marks.

Bivis nodded; there should be no more problems now.

William’s system panel also provided a notification.

[Successfully destroyed the blood sacrifice ritual formation (1/3), task completion rate increased]

William also nodded and said to Bivis, “Lord Bivis, since this ritual formation has been destroyed, the Beast God Cult will surely react quickly. We…”

Bivis nodded, giving William’s shoulder a firm pat, without saying anything, and led his men out.

They needed to regroup outside, preparing to deal with possible crises that might erupt in other parts of the downtown area.

Odysseus glanced at William with a complex expression, then shook his head and walked out as well.

What a good disciple. What was I thinking back then, why did I have to delay things?

William rubbed his slightly sore shoulder. Bivis, who had been so exhilarated just now, hadn’t held back much strength. Although his strength attribute had been doubled, he was still far behind this golden warrior.

However, William also understood Bivis’s intention. The Beast God Cult’s stronghold here had been taken care of by them. William’s mission was already completed.

All that was left was to wait for the members of the Beast God Cult to get in disarray. At this point, William no longer needed to participate.

Bivis was also considering William’s well-being. The deserved credit wouldn’t slip away, but the remaining tasks might still pose some danger, especially facing the incarnation of the evil god. So, Bivis let William decide whether to join.

Was there even a need to think? Of course, he would participate!

William’s mission wasn’t finished yet!

As Bivis left, he casually took the heavily injured and unconscious Peter along. It was unclear whether any valuable intelligence could be obtained from him.

But that was irrelevant to William now. He didn’t intend to follow Bivis directly.

He wanted to head straight to Pearl Street.

That was the Beast God Cult’s headquarters in the downtown area of Canlight City, and it was also where the incarnation of the evil god had finally descended in his past life.

However, William was also very clear in his mind. Not to mention himself as a Silver Mage, even gold-tier professionals were like lambs to the slaughter in front of the incarnation of the evil god. Only relying on those legendary powerhouses could they hold back the incarnation of the Beast Lord.

But William still planned to take a look, even if it was just observing from afar.

Apart from anything else, enduring the impact of a god’s presence once could grant a rather rare specialization.

The arrival of a deity was a rare opportunity. That’s also why, in the game of his past life, there was always a group of players rushing to offer their heads whenever a deity incarnation descended.

But enduring the pressure of a deity’s presence was not a simple matter.

In his past life, except for a few lucky ones who encountered special circumstances, only a few players with special specializations successfully resisted the consciousness judgment under the pressure of the deity’s presence.

William wasn’t sure if he could do it, but he had to give it a try!

Even if he couldn’t, William had asked Joyce to back him up!
