A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 192 The Mysterious Alessa

Ji Lin stared intently at the monsters that kept appearing before him, thinking to himself, "It seems that only by completely eliminating Alessa will these troublesome creatures disappear!"

With this thought in mind, he took out a light and shadow stone emitting blue light from the system space, and with a flick of his wrist, the light and shadow stone transformed into a stream of light and flew straight towards Huan'er who was standing to the side.

Huan'er reacted quickly and caught the light and shadow stone that Ji Lin threw to her.

In an instant, the light and shadow stone burst forth with a dazzling blue light, as if it had some kind of wonderful resonance with her. Then, an amazing scene unfolded.

The light and shadow stone, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, slowly disappeared into Huan'er's body.

As the light and shadow stones merged, Huan'er exuded a powerful aura, and a majestic wind eagle armor instantly covered her body.

This armor of light and shadow was a precious reward bestowed by the system, and Ji Lin possessed the ability to grant summoning authority to others at will. In addition, Huan'er herself already possessed considerable combat power, and now, with the blessing of the Wind Eagle Armor, she was even more powerful, her strength greatly increased.

At this moment, Huan'er was like a war goddess, charging into the monster horde and engaging in a fierce battle.

She was agile and swift, her weapon flying up and down, each attack creating a gust of wind that forced the monsters to retreat.

With Huan'er holding back the monsters summoned by Alessa, Ji Lin was able to break free and quickly ran away into the distance.

Before long, Ji Lin arrived at an ancient church. He reached out and gently pushed open the heavy door.

The scene inside the door startled him slightly; the spacious room was densely packed with many figures.

Ji Lin steadied himself and carefully sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from inside the church. His expression gradually became solemn. These seemingly ordinary figures were not living people, but a group of wandering souls.

These numerous souls were all imprisoned here by Aresa. Ji Lin stood still with a solemn expression, then mobilized all the powerful magic within his body and continuously gathered it into the long sword he held tightly in his hand.

In an instant, the sword flashed with dazzling light, as if it contained boundless power.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin swung his arm sharply, and with a deep roar, an extremely sharp sword aura roared out!

The sword energy sliced ​​through the air, rushing straight towards the evil spirits present with overwhelming force. A series of shrill screams rang out, and wherever the sword energy passed, the evil spirits were reduced to ashes and completely dissipated in this space.

However, at that moment, the entire church suddenly began to undergo drastic changes.

The once sturdy walls began to peel away in large sections, raising clouds of dust; the stone bricks on the ground seemed to have lost their support, falling continuously and making dull thuds.

In the blink of an eye, this solemn and sacred church was completely transformed into a terrifying octagonal cage, resembling hell.

At the bottom of the cage, churning lava was burning fiercely, the scorching flames licking the air above, emitting a suffocating heat and a pungent sulfur smell.

Outside the cage, Alessa floated in the air like a ghost, her grotesque and twisted face appearing even more sinister and terrifying in the firelight.

Suddenly, several thick, enormous tentacles shot out from behind her. These tentacles were covered with sharp barbs and sticky liquid. They bared their fangs and claws and pounced fiercely at Ji Lin, launching a brutal attack.

Faced with such a sudden attack, Ji Lin was not afraid at all. He flashed and quickly swung his sword to meet the tentacles.

With a few crisp clangs and sparks flying, Ji Lin successfully severed several tentacles with his superb swordsmanship.

At the same time, the cage was also damaged and teetering on the brink of collapse due to the fierce attacks from the tentacles, and it seemed that it would fall into the scalding lava below at any moment.

Seeing this, Ji Lin made a decisive move, pushed off with his feet, and leaped into the air like a bird, floating lightly in the air.

The instant he left the cage, the already dilapidated octagonal cage finally succumbed to the pull of gravity, collapsing with a crash and plunging straight into the surging lava. In an instant, waves of lava splashed several meters high, completely engulfing the entire octagonal cage.

With the sound of bubbles bursting, the cage that had once imprisoned countless lives vanished without a trace...

Ji Lin hovered in mid-air, light as a feather, his figure flashing swiftly like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, countless figures identical to Ji Lin suddenly appeared around Alessa. These figures were not real, but rather afterimages created by Ji Lin's lightning-fast movement.

In an instant, several afterimages launched a fierce attack on Alessa.

From a distance, it looked as if Ji Lin had used a magical clone technique to launch a fierce attack on Alessa. Faced with such a fierce attack, Alessa quickly circulated the powerful energy within her body and condensed it into a solid protective shield around her.

Ji Lin's repeated attacks landed on Alessa's protective shield, but she easily withstood them all.

After a violent impact, Alessa's protective shield remained sturdy, but fine cracks appeared on its surface.

At this moment, Ji Lin suddenly stopped in mid-air, a slight smile of contempt on his lips: "Haha, you've just put a turtle shell on yourself! Let's see if you can withstand my next attack."

After saying that, Ji Lin took a deep breath and gathered all his magical power into his body, which surged and flowed through his meridians like a raging torrent.

Immediately afterwards, he skillfully integrated the power of his own merits into this immense magical power.

After making ample preparations, Ji Lin gripped his longsword tightly with both hands, raised it high, and then unleashed several sharp and unparalleled sword energies at Alessa with overwhelming force.

With a series of sharp whooshing sounds, the first sword energy, like a dazzling bolt of lightning, struck Alessa's protective shield with earth-shattering power.

With a crisp, loud bang, Alessa's protective shield was instantly severely damaged. What were originally just tiny cracks quickly spread out, and the entire shield became shaky and on the verge of collapse.

Despite Alessa's best efforts to resist the subsequent onslaught of sharp sword energy, her seemingly indestructible shield eventually succumbed to the pressure and shattered completely with a crisp cracking sound.

Without protection, Alessa was instantly exposed to the sword energy, one of which shot straight toward her like lightning.

With a loud bang, Alessa was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the hard wall.

The immense impact caused the wall to cave in instantly, creating a deep crater.

Ji Lin, of course, would not let such a golden opportunity slip by. He flashed and moved in front of Alessa in an instant, like a ghost.

The sword in his hand gleamed coldly, and without hesitation, he swung it fiercely towards Alessa's neck. In an instant, Alessa's head fell to the ground.

However, just when Ji Lin thought he had successfully eliminated Alessa, strange things began to happen one after another.

He had imagined that the Silent Hill domain controlled by Alessa would dissipate with her death, but the opposite was true.

Instead of disappearing, thick black smoke continued to emerge from Alessa's headless corpse.

As if possessing a life of its own, the black mist rapidly coalesced, tightly enveloping Alessa's body. Then, an astonishing scene unfolded—Alessa's body began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, her body continued to grow larger and larger until it finally broke through the roof and soared into the clouds.

Ji Lin was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

Without a second thought, he decisively used teleportation and instantly arrived in mid-air outside the church.

At this moment, he gazed at the enormous creature before him, which resembled a small mountain, filled with doubt and shock.

His eyes widened, and he muttered incredulously, "What...what is this?"
