Chapter 78 [Angela's Ashes: White-Roofed Church] Completed

Chen Ke gasped for air. The high-speed fall was deeply interrupted by the wooden floor. Looking at the yellowed ceiling, he lay down for a long time before slowly recovering.

He sat up slowly and found that the portal actually sent him back to the cheap motel room he rented... Why did it default to sending him back here...

When Chen Ke opened the portal, he had only one thought, which was "go back". It seemed that the portal regarded this small room as home.

He stood up and pulled out the shopping bag from under the bed. It was the clothes Chen Ke bought at Walmart. At that time, he bought two sets of each piece of clothing as spare, and now it really came in handy...

Perhaps it was precisely because this room contained Chen Ke's things that the portal defaulted to home.

At this time, two light balls suddenly floated towards Chen Ke from the void, one was black and the other was orange-red. They were all absorbed by the sun mark on Chen Ke's chest.

A message box popped up in front of Chen Ke.

"Obtain soul: large deformed soul"

"Obtain soul: the great soul of Falalis"

The information box was very large, occupying his entire field of vision, showing a translucent white menu. Together with the two souls he had just obtained, there were a total of three souls quietly staying in the first row.

Before he could study the soul menu carefully, another information box popped up quickly.

"Portal list:"

"Van Hede Kingdom"

"White Dome Church"

The information box of the portal was divided into different categories. In the submenu of the Van Hede Kingdom, the shortcut to the White Dome Church was unlocked.

His eyes swept towards the "White Dome Church", and at this time, another box popped up:

"Use a large deformed soul to open the portal?"

No, no, no... Chen Ke shook his head, and the information box disappeared.

He thought about it and called out the soul menu again, ready to study the three souls he had obtained.

[Large chunk of deformed soul]

[Effect: Increase lifespan by 10 hours or open a portal]

[Soul from a deformed creature. It feeds on souls and relies on something to transcend time, making contact with people from different eras and reaching a contract.]

[Beasts that crave souls will eventually lose their souls. That’s why soulless monsters are attracted to souls…]

Chen Ke concluded that this was the soul of the contracted demon. It can help people from different eras open the door to the Great Void at the cost of its soul…

Moreover, by consuming this powerful soul, Chen Ke can increase his lifespan.

The only unpleasant thing is that this kind of soul is also needed to open the life portal, which means that when Chen Ke obtains this resource again in the future, he must carefully decide how to consume it...

Extending life is a rigid need, but collecting various holy objects to improve his combat effectiveness is also a rigid need... Use it according to the specific situation in the future...

He decided not to shake and pinch this soul for the time being. According to the experience of killing toads to obtain the upper limit of life before, each time the upper limit of life is increased, the life span will be directly replenished. He still has four holy diamonds brought from the Kingdom of Vanhede that have not been identified.

Three white and one blue.

No rush.

Chen Ke turned to look at the second group of orange souls.

[The Great Soul of Faralis]

[Effect: Increase the upper limit of life by 10 hours, open a portal once, and refine Faralis's weapons]

[The princess of Vanhede, the great soul of Faralis. Only souls with great power can be possessed by individuals, and they host the great power of the holder during his lifetime. ]

[The son of the witch was born with the ability to control fire. When her mother was regarded as a heretic, Faralis was determined to save her motherland with her own power. 】

Chen Ke carefully examined the soul and found that it had an additional function, refining weapons!

This reminded him of the two-handed sword that Faralis stabbed at him!

Adding another 10 hours of lifespan would be a good choice, but if that sword could be obtained...

The Vanhede Straight Sword has been lost, and the Fire-Starting Broadsword is still stuck on the ground of the Vanhede Church as a bonfire... Now Chen Ke needs a holy weapon.

Although Chen Ke is not sure whether the weapon refined from this soul is that sword, he is willing to take a gamble.

First, let's see what the four holy diamonds are. If there is no weapon, use Faralis's soul to refine the weapon.

Chen Ke took out four holy diamonds from his bag and identified the three white ones in one breath.

"It takes 60 minutes to identify the holy object..."

[Priest's Battle Robe]

[Durability: General]

[Mystical Protection: Magic Damage Reduction 20%]

[Mystical Enhancement: Magic Damage Increase 20%]

[The priests of the Black Ring Church rarely participate in frontal combat, but a group of priests are secretly trained to become magic swordsmen, hiding in the church and becoming spies of the Pope. ]

A cyan hooded robe similar to the corpse of the Great Library, but the cuffs are narrowed, probably to facilitate the wielding of ice blades...

...

[Hard Leggings]

[Durability: Poor]

[Regular Protection Effect]

[Thick coarse cloth pants with hard leather protective gear can well protect the vital parts of the lower body, and are the standard equipment for low-level soldiers in the Kingdom of Vanhede. ]

Brown pants with leather protective gear at the crotch and knees, which seem to have a tactical effect similar to S.W.A.T pants.

...

[Priest Mask]

[Durability: Brand New]

[Mental Protection: The effect of mental attacks is reduced by 15%]

[The mask worn by the senior master of the Black Ring Sect is an important accessory to highlight his status within the sect. 】

[Nilonde is the fastest-promoted and youngest high-level master in the Black Ring Religion, but he himself is not good at any magic. Compared with his magic skills, he is obviously more comfortable in manipulating people's hearts. 】

This mask is very similar to the props carried by the upper class when holding masquerade balls. It is white, only covers the eyes, and is shaped like a hand covering the eyes.

…

Chen Ke shook his head slightly. It cannot be said that these three holy objects are useless, but they are not good either. Fortunately, these three sacred objects do not conflict, at least they can be worn together.

Look at this blue diamond. What is it?

"It takes 20 minutes to identify the sacred object..."

A large iron-gray shield stood in front of Chen Ke.

[Automatic standing crossbow large shield]

[Durability: Average]

[Indestructible: The durability consumption speed is greatly reduced]

[Inertial absorption: offset 80% of all impact forces]

[Standing: The shield can stand on any ground. 】

[The large shield carried by the crossbowman can be used as a defense after being inserted into the ground. 】

[The Kingdom of Vanherd is famous for its powerful sword control group, but its rain of arrows that cover the sky should not be underestimated. 】

The shield was almost one meter high. Chen Ke could hide himself behind it even if he lifted his waist. He picked up the shield and tried it. It was very heavy, but not too heavy to carry with him. It's just not suitable for long-term handheld use.

The four affixes attached to it are simply perfect and indestructible, which can greatly extend the use time of the shield. The inertia absorption allows him to defend without fear of any brute force. Standing means that Chen Ke does not need to find a way to insert the shield into the ground. He only needs to put it there and the shield will automatically stand there.

The four sacred diamonds indeed had no weapons, but this was also within Chen Ke's expectation.

Chen Ke stretched out his hand, and a twisted soul fire with a white periphery and black in the middle appeared in his palm. It was the soul of the contract demon.

Without hesitation, he crushed it.

"Life limit +10 hours..."

Duang!

There was some inexplicable echo in his mind. Chen Ke can now live for 20 hours!

"If I work harder, I can spend the whole day..." Chen Ke thought to himself,

"Refining weapons!"

In Chen Ke's palm, another large ball of orange soul fire appeared, like a burning flame. It was the great soul of Faralis.
