After observing for a minute, Lin Sheng realized that the monster did not have any new tricks up its sleeves, so he raised his hand and threw his axe at its head.
* Whoosh! *
The axe whistled through the air and turned into a circle, striking the monster's head.
* Bam! *
Its body stiffened, and white Saint Power exploded from its body, followed by thick black smoke.
* Roar! *
The monster howled in pain, roaring as it charged forward again, slashing at Lin Sheng with its sword.
Its eyes were bloodshot, and the veins all over its body swelled slightly, appearing on the surface of its skin, looking like little green earthworms.
This time, Lin Sheng did not retreat or dodge.
He raised his axe, blocking the double-edged sword with a bang, and at the same time, he kicked with his right leg.
After a loud sound, the monster flew to the side and fell to the ground, its waist twisted at an awkward angle. It seemed like its spine was broken.
"Defense Level 1, Strength Level 4, Speed Level 3. Combat Awareness Level 3. Overall evaluation: Level 3. If it had a good defense, it might be able to reach Level 4. "
Lin Sheng looked at the armor the monster was wearing. The armor seemed to be embedded with some fine purple crystals, but they did not have any effect during the fight.
It was probably too long ago, and had lost its effectiveness.
"Perhaps it used some kind of supernatural defense, but it lost its effectiveness due to the passage of time. That's why it's deformed now. "
He slowly walked towards the howling monster on the ground.
He swung the axe in his hand at the monster's head.
* Puff. *
The skull and the axe broke at the same time.
The monster's screams stopped, its head tilted to the side, and it went completely silent.
There was a large gash in the middle of its forehead, and a large amount of yellow and white stuff flowed out like paste. It was extremely disgusting.
Lin Sheng waited for a while, but there were no black lines forming, which surprised him.
It did not matter. He bent down and picked up the flaming double-edged sword from the monster's hand.
After the double-edged sword left its hand, the flames on the blade quickly shrunk and dimmed.
Lin Sheng held it in his hand like holding a long torch. Even though the flames had shrunk, the flames were still about the width of a finger. If he got any closer, his hair would be burned.
The strange thing was that he didn't feel the handle burning in his hands.
This burning double-edged sword was like an inferior product casually forged by a trashy blacksmith. It was simple and crude in design. The blade was thick and heavy, and there were even small nicks on the edge.
The hilt of the sword was simply wrapped with some brown cloth, while the guard was made of a red metal that looked like two sharp horns.
There were no patterns on the entire flaming double-edged sword. It looked like a shoddy, inferior product.
"What about that shield?" Lin Sheng looked at the semi-transparent shield that the monster had used earlier.
To his surprise, the shield was nowhere to be seen, as if it had disappeared a long time ago.
"Seems like the shield is this monster's ability," he guessed as he casually waved the burning double-edged sword in his hand.
A surge of Saint Power flowed from his body into the sword.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, the flames on the blade of the sword flared up, and the flames grew to a height of more than half a meter. It looked as though Lin Sheng was holding a huge torch.
The flames even burned him. However, Lin Sheng had dragonized skin to begin with, making him extremely resistant to fire, so he did not mind at all.
He lightly slashed the double-edged sword on the wall.
In less than two seconds, the sword's tip touched the wall, and a scorch mark was left on the wall.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Lin Sheng squatted down in satisfaction, and searched the monster's body again. He did not find anything else. He then took the sword and began to wander around the room.
This room seemed to have been specially built for this monster. There was no furniture, no signs of life. There was not even the slightest bit of combustible material.
Lin Sheng checked the room and retreated to the second room on the left.
He gently twisted the handle of the door. Before the door could be pulled open, a huge force burst out from inside, slamming the door open and slamming into Lin Sheng.
Bam!
A humanoid monster with four horns on its head and a flaming sword in its hand charged out again. Without a word, it slashed at Lin Sheng's head.
Clang!
The two flaming swords clashed violently. Lin Sheng freed one of his hands and punched the monster's face at lightning speed.
The force of the punch exploded, and in an instant, the monster's face caved in.
In less than two seconds, the monster fell to the ground, dead. The battle was over.
Lin Sheng retracted his hand in satisfaction.
With his Level 5 Saint Power, his overall strength was at Level 6. Dealing with a Level 3 four-horned monster was a piece of cake.
Hiss …
This time, a black line formed on the four-horned monster's body, and with a whoosh, it flew out and sank into Lin Sheng's chest.
He closed his eyes and digested it.
Images of darkness, slumbering, and eating flooded his mind.
There were two scenes that left the deepest impression. One was the four-horned monster holding the flaming sword and eating with many other four-horned monsters in the hall.
The second was the four-horned monster holding the flaming sword, and it was defeated by a young man in blood armor, falling to the ground without any resistance.
Lin Sheng saw that the face of the young man in blood armor was very similar to the deputy in the Steel Lord's memory. This monster must have been defeated by a master from the Warrior's Guild, and it had always remembered it.
He felt that his soul had grown a little, but it was very weak.
"After reaching Level 5 Saint Power, the total number of Saint power groups has also increased a lot. If I want to level up again, I'll need at least a few hundred of these soul fragments … Looks like I'll have to find powerful monsters to satisfy my needs, or else I'll never reach Level 6 if I just rely on killing small monsters. "
He sighed to himself, and bent down to snatch the flaming sword from the four-horned monster's hand, one in each hand. Perfect for dual use.
Kicking the corpse away, Lin Sheng walked into the second room.
There were some metal discs of different sizes placed in the room.
These discs were dark yellow in color, and there were rows of fine words engraved on their surface, as if they were making some kind of special book.
Lin Sheng walked closer and took out one of the discs. The words engraved on it were Gourenne, and other than some weird grammar, he could recognize everything.
These discs were neatly placed in the grooves on the wall, and there was a short special text on each disc.
Lin Sheng looked at the disc in his hand. It was the size of a human head, and there were hundreds and thousands of tiny words engraved on it. He would not have been able to read it without looking carefully.
At the top of the disc, there was a title.
"Conjecture on building the Holy Sanctum City's defense system"
Below it was a large number of words.
"The Holy Sanctum City's defense system? Could it be … "Lin Sheng suddenly remembered the ritual circle that appeared in the Steel Lord's memory.
As long as the Steel Lord was alive, all non-humans in Blackfeather City would not be able to escape the city.
If it was a ritual of that scale …
His interest was suddenly piqued.
He took the disc and read it carefully.
The content of the disc was all about the design of the city's defense system, and there was not a single detailed operation.
Lin Sheng quickly scanned through it, but there was nothing except the design concept.
He put the disc back, and then glanced at all the discs to read all the titles.
"Understanding of the Defense System's Runes."
"Discussion on the special difficulties that energy nodes may encounter."
"Calculation of the Babylon Effect."
"The Transformation Relationship between Energy Field and Magnetic Field."
"Holy Sanctum Fountainhead: Construction and Maintenance of Saint power Pool (Part I)."
Lin Sheng's eyes suddenly stopped, and he took down the disc about the Holy Sanctum and read it carefully.
"Saint power Pool. The construction of any Holy Sanctum is inseparable from the Saint power Pool as a foundation.
As a large-scale facility to store and convert Saint power, the Saint power Pool must have characteristics that the mages' energy pools do not have.

When a large amount of Saint power is gathered, it will naturally produce an extraordinary force field that can cure the weak negative state of living beings. The range fluctuates according to the Saint power reserve.)

There must be a sealed structure that can store Saint power for a long period of time without being eroded.
