That's right, the boss was originally a stone statue of a giant snake. However, Li Huailin's attack shattered the stone statue just like that. Li Huailin did not think that he had defeated the boss because the boss still had 9% of its HP left, which meant that there were still changes to be made.
Sure enough, as soon as the stone statue shattered, a green light flew out from the boss' body and turned into the image of a snake-headed Dicymas in the air. However, Dicymas was not in a good state at this time. He looked very tired as if he had suffered some serious injury. There were no wounds on the surface of his body, but his expression was extremely pained.
"Despicable human, you actually managed to hurt me, a god. You have angered me. You must die!" Dicymas pointed at Li Huailin and shouted, "Do you think you're very powerful just because you defeated my giant statue? If I wasn't worried that using divine power would attract the attention of other gods, I would have killed you long ago. Now, I can't care so much … Human, die …"
After saying that, Dicymas suddenly raised his hands high. A green ball of light appeared above his head. It felt a little like a Primordial Bomb, and judging from its momentum, the attack power of this ball of light was not ordinary.
"Sigh …" Li Huailin did not know whether this ball of light could kill him or not. He did not know how to react. Suddenly, a loud roar came from the sky. "Dicymas! What are you doing! "
A beam of golden light suddenly pierced through the roof of the divine temple, and then directly struck Dychymas's back. Dychymas's body trembled violently, and then he fell from the sky to the ground. The ball of light in his hand naturally disappeared immediately.
The golden light in the sky shone into the temple through the hole in the ceiling. Accompanied by the holy light, an NPC slowly descended from the sky. This was a male NPC who looked very young, about 20 years old. He had a head of long blonde hair and looked a little too handsome. It was impossible for anyone to look like this in reality. He wore a bright golden-orange armor covered with gorgeous patterns. He looked like a guy with high combat power. The NPC's name was written above his head, Saint Ilofrey.
"Temple Administrator, Ilofrey …" Dicymas' eyes twitched as he looked at Saint Ilofrey in the air with some surprise. There was even a hint of fear in his eyes, as if he was very afraid of Saint Ilofrey.
"Dike Ymas … …" Saint Lofrey's voice came slowly, sounding a little holy. "Have you forgotten the rules of the temple? He's actually using his divine power in the Lower Realm, and he's even preparing to attack a human. "
"Great deity, this human killed all my followers!" Saint Ilofrey immediately pointed at Li Huailin.
"Is that your reason? You can only attack when your followers summon you and need your divine power to protect you. However, you're taking the initiative to use your divine power to retaliate. You've violated the rules of the temple, "Saint Ilofrey immediately said.
"I …" Naturally, Dicymas knew that it was illegal for him to do so. If his believers summoned their divine powers to help him, then it wouldn't be a problem to kill these people. It would be a violation of the law for him to do it himself. However, he had already borrowed the divine powers of these believers. The problem was that these believers weren't strong enough. They only made a move because they couldn't beat him.
"Dicymas, you've violated the rules of the temple. Come back with me for your trial," Saint Ilofrey said to Dicymas in an unquestionable voice. Then, he turned to Li Huailin and said to Li Huailin, "Human, I'm very sorry. What Dicymas has done has caused you a lot of trouble. As an apology, you can take the treasures in this temple as compensation, Dicymas!"
"Yes …" Dicymas nodded, then pointed to a door behind him and said, "My treasures are behind this door. You can take them."
Li Huailin finally understood. This was how the game was designed. The statue of the giant snake was the final boss, but it wasn't actually the Serpent God Dicymas. Dicymas couldn't be killed at the end of the dungeon. The plot would arrange for a god to capture him, and then the dungeon would end. The final reward would be in the form of treasures, not looted from the corpse.
However, although he understood, Li Huailin couldn't accept it. Although he was here to obtain equipment, his main mission was still to sharpen his God-Devouring Sword. Simply put, he was here to kill Dicymas. How could he let him go?
Thinking of this, Li Huailin turned his attention to Dicymas. This guy wasn't in a good state. He had just been hit by Saint Ilofrey and was probably seriously injured. He was still lying on the ground and couldn't get up. Seeing this situation, Li Huailin gripped the God-Devouring Sword in his hand and decided to see if there was a chance to kill him directly.
Pretending that nothing had happened, Li Huailin slowly walked into Dike Emus. He didn't know if it was because the cutscene had ended, but Dike Emus and Saint Lofrey were waiting for Li Huailin to take the treasure. Both of them stood in place without moving, not reacting to Li Huailin's actions. Seeing that they didn't react, Li Huailin took out his God-Devouring Sword and was about to slash at Dicymas on the ground when a red system notification popped up.
System Warning: Your mind is attacking a god. Your actions will cause the wrath of the Gods, and there will be very serious consequences. Please reconsider if you really want to do this.
"Warning my ass. I'm going to slash you." Li Huailin completely ignored the system warning and plunged his sword into Dicymas' chest.
System Notification: Because you ignored their advice and attacked a god, the Favorability of the Gods has increased by 10 points.
Everything happened so suddenly that both Dike Emmas and Saint Lofrey were taken aback. Dike Emmas was already very weak to begin with, so when he was stabbed in the chest and dealt a critical hit of 25000 +, his body swayed violently, but he didn't die.
"What … What are you doing?" Dicymas was still hostile toward Li Huailin. His Favorability didn't seem to have increased at all. He pointed at Li Huailin angrily.
"Human, you … you … you actually attacked a god?" Saint Ilofrey suddenly exclaimed in surprise. "Good! Good job!"
"Eh?" Dicymas was stunned. Although he had violated the rules of the Temple of Light, he was still a god. Why would Saint Ilofrey speak up for this human? This didn't make sense at all.
"Lord Exalted God, what … what are you talking about?" Dicymas asked with a strange expression. "He … he's attacking me!"
"Of course I know he's attacking you. Isn't that a good thing?" Saint Ilofrey was puzzled. This human attacking a God was clearly a disgraceful and heinous act. Such an act was definitely worthy of praise. So why was Dicymas so angry about it?
"This …" Dicymas still didn't understand what was going on. Li Huailin didn't care about him either. Since he didn't die from a single slash, Li Huailin continued to attack. He unsheathed God Devourer and slashed again.
This time, Dicymas couldn't care less. He didn't know what was wrong with Saint Ilofrey's brain. He actually watched the human attack him and even cheered. He was the one being slashed, so he had to defend himself and counterattack. Thus, Dicymas, who was lying on the ground, raised his right hand. His body flashed with a green light, and he aimed it at Li Huailin. It seemed like he was about to unleash a skill.
"What are you doing!?" Saint Lofrey suddenly let out a loud roar, then waved his hand, and a golden light struck Dikemas, who was lying on the ground, once again interrupting his skill.
"Ugh … Exalted God, why …" Dicymas's expression became even more pained. He couldn't understand why Saint Ilofrey was helping this human.
"You actually want to use divine power to attack this human? Have you forgotten the rules of the Temple of Light?" Saint Ilofrey said sternly.
"Huh?" Dicymas couldn't understand at all. What kind of logic was this? Why did you cheer when this guy attacked me, but attacking him is against the rules of the Temple of Light? What do you want me to do? Am I supposed to just watch this guy beat me to death?
"That's right. It's your good fortune that I'm attacking you. How can you not know what's good for you and counterattack?" Li Huailin said.
"Good fortune my ass, human, I'm going to …" Dicymas was really going crazy. He raised his hand to attack again, but just as he raised it, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Saint Ilofrey.
"Dicymas, what are you doing!? I already told you not to use divine power to attack humans. It's against the rules of the Temple of Light, "Saint Ilofrey reminded again.
Just like that, it entered an endless loop. When Li Huailin beat up Dike Emas, Saint Lofrey would praise him crazily. When Dike Emas wanted to retaliate, Saint Lofrey would immediately interrupt him. Dike Emas really wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Just what was going on with the ruler of the Temple? Why would he become a servant of the humans and help the humans deal with the Celestial race? But he really had no choice. Saint Ilofrey's divine power was much stronger than his. A mere Rank 9 God like him couldn't stop him at all.
Just like that, under Saint Ilofrey's all-out "protection", Li Huailin slashed at Dicymas again and again. It still felt like he was hitting a wooden dummy. This guy really had a lot of HP, but it was a pity that he couldn't take this kind of slash. Finally, after the last slash, a green light flashed. Dicymas was finally dead.
