Chapter 145 The Beast in the Dark
Anti followed directly with the negative light lantern.

In the dark environment of the Eternal Night World, there is such an obvious light. Although the Eternal Night monsters cannot see it, it will definitely be very conspicuous to people from the real world who see the light in the darkness.

But it doesn't matter.

It's about the same difficulty to look for someone in the dark or with a light. Maybe he can attract some curious babies by lighting the light.

Searching around scattered bloodstains, Anti was tracking an unclear target.

In the distant direction, there was a not-so-bright beam of light shining straight into the sky, and around the beam one could vaguely see many signs of the activities of the creatures of the Eternal Night.

That should be where the inner city defense line was located before.

Anti wandered around the edge of the city, looking for any signs of human activity.

If it was the previous group of night chasers, the group action in such a dark environment would inevitably leave a lot of traces.

If it can be found easily, the target is almost locked.

But unfortunately, Anti felt that he might have found the wrong place.

After a long time, there was still no obvious sign. Excluding the possibility that the Night Chaser Church was so meticulous that it did not leave any trace in the dark, he was probably tracking something else.

Suddenly, his Qi sensed vaguely that an individual different from the ordinary Eternal Night creatures was approaching him.

Anti directly shone the lantern in the direction he sensed.

But only a blurry shadow was captured. The other party also reacted to the light and dodged to the side from the range of light.

Whoosh!
Heavy footsteps were heard moving back and forth near him, as if a wild beast was patiently searching for the flaws of its lost prey.

Anti used the illumination mode to sweep around, but could only catch a trace each time.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the other party has relatively thick hair and sharp claws.

Really a beast?

The accuracy of Anti's Qi sensing is still quite poor. He can basically only determine whether the opponent exists or not. If the opponent moves very fast, it will be difficult to accurately locate him.

So he suddenly stopped fiddling with the lights and just stood there.

Calm yourself down first.

The small sickle in his hand turned, shaping and concentrating his body.

Take out the beast medium, the beast body.

He also found this beast miracle from the guidance book. It was said to be quite complicated, but Anti learned it very smoothly without any particular obstacles.

This miracle actually had no special effect on Anti.

It simply allows him to gain some of the blessings of the beast state in human state.

It seems a bit like taking off pants to fart, but it can indeed borrow a little more power when it is inconvenient to transform into a beast directly.

Let’s change to another rock medium, “Conflict”.

Anti also knows this miracle. After all, rock is the second part of natural miracles that he has learned the most. The fire that he is most proficient in is not very convenient in the eternal night environment, and there are not many fire miracles that can bless basic body types, so he has to settle for the second best.

After giving himself a series of blessings, Anti suddenly turned off the lights.

In an instant, the beast that was approaching became hesitant and its steps became lighter and slower.

It was at the moment when it slowed down that Anti suddenly turned around and lowered his body, and the small sickle hung down and scratched the ground, making a sharp sound.

Stab it!

Mingzou started.

The moment the purple light of the negative-light lantern shone again, what appeared before Anti's eyes was a monster with human facial features remaining, but its body had turned into a deformed orc, and one of its forearms was completely gone.

The other party was obviously shocked by Anti's sudden attack. The sudden illumination of the light in front of his eyes also stimulated his vision which seemed to have been integrated into the darkness for a long time.

And at this moment, the small sickle in Anti's hand fell directly.

Bang! Stab!

The small sickle directly smashed out with a strong blunt force sound, and the monster didn't even fly away but was knocked to its knees in front of Anti. It was cut open from the shoulder to the waist and abdomen, and blood and internal organs flowed everywhere.

"Uh..." The other party opened his mouth in a daze, revealing a mouth full of blood and fangs. His turbid eyes finally became clear and focused on Anti's appearance.

“…Why…it’s you again…I can’t…hide here…” the monster said in a low and unclear voice, and at the same time, his body completely collapsed and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Huh?" Anti wiped the sickle across his arm to wipe off the blood, and glanced sideways when he heard the voice.

This thing knows me? He then realized the monster's severed hand.

"Oh, you are that...that..." Anti wanted to say the other person's name, but after holding it in for a long time, he only vaguely remembered hearing it from the mouths of the two branch bishops he had killed before, but in the end he still didn't have a deep impression of it.

"I...I...wait...what have I become?" The monster suddenly reacted, as if he was clearly aware of something.

It weakly moved its remaining arm and tried to move its gaze downward, only then did it catch a glimpse of its current body.

"Ah...ah! I, my animal nature has been awakened by the eternal night...I...I am in a dream...am I in a dream? No, I was in a dream before, but now...this is reality...ah...no...great Andnight...please let me sleep...don't let me sleep like this..."

It kept mumbling to itself, its pupils gradually dilated and blurred, and finally it lost its life completely before it could finish its words.

Anti looked at it for a while and found that inspiration was actually emerging from it.

There was nothing special about the description. It was similar to the description given by the priest in Gross Town, but without the element of the stalker it seemed very simple.

Anti fed the corpse to the Big Mouth.

After chewing for a long time, it used its tongue to take out a piece of Eternal Night Crystal from its mouth and handed it to Anti.

"Hungry..." Its teeth were hit by this thing.

Anti took it, grabbed one of the big mouth's tongues and wiped the blood off carefully before putting it away.

This is the fifth Eternal Night Crystal in Anti's hand. Although it is still early to reach the goal of sixteen, the progress is indeed accelerating little by little.

Although it’s not much, there is still a sense of accomplishment in it.

Just as Anti put away the Eternal Night Crystal, a bright light suddenly flashed in the distance.

Probably the light of a miracle of light.

But to perform a miracle of light in the eternal night would mean that one was somewhat disregarding the monsters here.

Even though the average mass of the monsters was not very high, their reaction speed and clustering strength could not be neglected at all.

But, miracles of light?

Even if the people of the Night Chaser Church can perform miracles, there is no point in using them here.

So, it was an outsider who came in later?

Anti knocked his small sickle on the wall next to him, started the alarm and hurried over.

……

In the lightless darkness, a bright light shone, briefly illuminating everything present.

The one who performed the miracle of light was the sanctuary supporter who rescued the advance team of Anti.

They naturally understood the danger of light in the darkness, but at this moment they did not have enough time to care about it. Rather, they needed the light to attract monsters and muddy the situation for them.

It was because right now, Livnis, with two branch bishops and a large number of Night Chasers around them, had forced them into a desperate situation.

After entering the eternal night, they moved forward cautiously, strengthening their senses and looking for any possible traces of Anti.

However, during the search, they were the first to discover traces of the Night Chaser Church.

Although Dinina and Nie Hong were not so concerned about these things, the sanctuary supporters still wanted to keep an eye on them and investigate and record the whereabouts of these equally noteworthy people.

Who would have thought that this record would be in jeopardy?

Because of the pitch-black environment, they made mistakes in controlling the distance and movement.

The exposure of their whereabouts attracted the attention of the Night Chaser Church.

Afterwards, they were directly blocked by Livnis and the entire army.

With such an advance team, not to mention Livnis, the two branch bishops who were close to Livnis were no match for them, and with so many subordinate believers, they were in a desperate situation in the blink of an eye.

So, they could only perform the miracle of light and fight to the death.

"Tsk, that's why I told you not to create unnecessary trouble!" With a tearing claw mark, Dinina repelled the branch bishop who was entangled with her, and then she focused her attention on looking for traces of Nie Hong.

She was a little worried about the little kid who insisted on coming with her at such a young age.

But who would have thought that a gloomy atmosphere flashed in the darkness.

Several Night Chasers were hit by the shaking dark red aura and fell to the ground with their bodies stiff.

Nie Hong took a few breaths and wiped the blood off his face. Like an air sensing radar, he felt that a large number of creatures around him were gathering towards this side because of the bright light.
