Chapter 206

His heart was beating intensely, his breathing was heavy, the air felt like it was laced with knives, cutting his throat painfully.

Closing the door, the young man took out the golden rock, a bit confused as to why he was so excited just now.

Watching the golden rock flickering with light, he felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion, as if that run just now had drained all of his stamina.

Feeling dizzy, he collapsed onto the bed. The golden rock slowly melted, turning into a puddle of liquid that was absorbed into his body.

The revelry outside was still ongoing, the young man's body temperature continued to rise, but it was all for naught, as his body gradually cooled down.

A large number of things could be seen wriggling underneath his body, the Soul's Blood was constantly corroding the young man's body, using his flesh as food to produce more Soul's Blood.

Very quickly, a monster wearing human skin reappeared in this world.

Moving his viral body a bit, Negri's aura began to change. The young man's remnant soul was taken by Negri and crafted into a variant of the Soul Armor, the Soul Mask.

Through the creation of the Soul Armor, he was able to use the information and memories stored within the remnant soul to create a superficial personality.

Negri obtained the same aura as the young man, even his behavior and daily actions were the same. Even the people closest to him, unless they had senses that surpassed the soul, would not be able to discover Negri's true appearance.

Now, as long as I'm careful not to be discovered, the true nature of my viral body won't be exposed. Negri's eyes flashed with the slyness unique to the young man, even if someone he was familiar with was here, they wouldn't be able to notice that he had been swapped.

The young man's name was Green Carole, his older brother Rhett Carole was a Red Sun Knight of the Sun Shadow church, considered one of their elites, which was why the young man was able to stay in the church compound.

From Green's memories, Negri obtained a few important pieces of knowledge.

The most important of which was that the Awakened of Wicked Souls were sinners that had to be executed.

The so-called Awakened of Wicked Souls were also known as the liberators of [Origin].

Correspondingly, only Saint Souls could awaken their [Origin].

The reason for the [Origin], huh? Negri squinted his eyes. The so-called Saint Souls were the [Origin] that originated from the seven Righteous Gods, only those who possessed these seven [Origins] were allowed to awaken, otherwise they would be considered sinners.

Of the Seven Righteous Gods, Reid did not mention many of them. Grimm only knew two or three of them.

One was naturally the Sun Shadow church's worshipped Lord of the Sun — — Eternal Heat.

The other was Mother Earth, whom the Half Life Church worshipped — — Life Bearer.

There was also another church, the Secluded Silence Church. The Righteous God that they worshipped was unknown, Reid had only mentioned this Righteous Church before, but did not mention which Righteous God they worshipped.

Apart from this information, another rather interesting thing was related to those "owls".

The official name for owls was the Night Watch, which was why they wore owl masks.

These Nightwatchers were nominally members of the Sun Shadow church, but the power they wielded did not originate from their faith, but from those sinful monsters.

Negri recalled the Sickle Nightwatcher he had seen before and the monster bulge hanging under the sickle.

Therefore, most of the time, the relationship between the Church Knights and the Nightwatchers wasn't very peaceful.

The power of the knights and priests of the Church came from their faith. The more devout they were, the more divine spells they could obtain.

As a Red Sun Knight, Reid Carole's main duty was to punish sinners and cultists.

The Nightwatchers' duty was to punish the monsters caused by the blood of evil.

Reid had once advised Grimm to be devout in his faith, only then would he have the chance to become a priest or knight, but as a teenager with a rebellious mentality, he had always ignored his elder brother's advice. He simply couldn't bring himself to believe in Eternal Heat.

God might be great, but those who serve God are definitely not like that. This was what Grimm thought. He had seen too many filthy priests and bishops.

If even those who served God could be so filthy, then a God who received the service of such filthy people would also make it impossible for him to believe in them.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with him now. As Negri reorganized Grimm's memories, he found that the entire Lohr region was truly full of secrets.

The Soundless Cult that caused trouble, the Cannibal Cult that spread their influence in the dark, as well as the Church of Dragon Worshippers.

Grimm alone knew of three evil cults from Reid. Aside from that, there was also the gigantic underground city beneath Lohr that Negri saw from the images, wondering what kind of secrets it was hiding.

Walking out of the room and looking at the townspeople who were still celebrating, Negri looked around and saw that they were all gathered around the cathedral, enjoying delicious food on the square while chatting with one another, seemingly in perfect harmony.

"A peaceful town of Lohr" Negri muttered, then smiled to himself.

Under such an environment, the people of the Spirit Cleansing Day felt incredibly stifled, which was why the people of Spirit Cleansing Day had completely released all of their suppressed emotions. Young ladies, lovers, strangers, or even the perspective of a house.

The sound of footsteps on the stone floor could be heard. As Negri turned around, he saw a man wearing a black robe walking towards him. He appeared to be around 23 or 24 years old, his face was completely expressionless, his gaze completely focused on Negri.

"You bumped into me earlier" the man coldly said: "Apologize"

"Then I'm really sorry" Negri used Grimm's infuriating tone to reply.

The man in the black robe glanced at Negri, then turned around and left without saying anything else, as if he only came to ask for an apology.

This kind of temperament, is he a Night Watcher? Negri watched the man in the black robe leave with a flicker in his eyes. This kind of person had been on the frontline of killing evil monsters for a long time, and the power they used originated from those monsters, so their bodies and minds were likely to have problems, which was quite obvious.

"His standing posture is instinctively maintaining the best position for battle, so that as soon as he encounters an attack from a monster, he would be able to roll away to avoid it, then quickly counterattack" Negri analyzed.

"Although he's not carrying any weapons, he's hiding a lot of things under that black robe, throwing knives, whips, and various other small items, all of which are capable of unleashing terrifying combat power in a split second"

"This reminds me of the Assassins of Sacred Valley in the Flame world" Negri thought. However, those Assassins of Sacred Valley targeted humans, while these Night Watchers targeted monsters.

They were proficient in various means of combat against monsters, such as scythes, saws, swords, and various other weapons, as well as various types of magic.

"Furthermore, the examination to become a Night Watcher isn't too strict" Negri recalled Reid's previous complaint. According to him, the Night Watchers accepted anyone, including orphans, murderers, vagabonds, and so on. As long as they made the vow, they could join the Night Watchers.
