This hero is a devil!

【can】

Upon receiving the system's affirmative reply, Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

Just as he was about to ask something else, the priest's voice suddenly interrupted: "Well, hero, have you made your choice? I suggest..."

"Got it."

Lin Mo's voice was eerily calm as he walked toward the tray in front of him.

A hint of disdain flashed in Father Linde's eyes, as if he had expected this outcome.

He thought to himself, "These heroes are all the same. Just a moment ago they looked so bitter and resentful, but the moment they hear about money and beautiful women, they become completely different people."

However, the thought of receiving a subsidy of two thousand gold coins immediately for introducing Lin Mo to the city lord made Lin De's smile even more sincere.

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Mo had already chosen the longsword.

Lin De moved closer to Lin Mo again: "You chose a longsword, huh? It will help you become an excellent swordsman, even a sword saint, you..."

The next second, a flash of sword light appeared!

There was no warning, no foreshadowing.

Lin Mo channeled all his strength and despair into this single stab.

puff--

The sword pierced the priest's chest with pinpoint accuracy.

The priest's arrogance and obsequiousness froze instantly, turning into utter astonishment and bewilderment.

He made a futile "hoarse" sound as warm blood gushed out from the blade.

"Why...why..."

Lin Mo glared angrily, his expression ferocious: "For your mother!"

As Linde fell to the ground, a voice echoed in Lin Mo's mind: "Congratulations on killing a level 10 priest (life profession)."

[Gain Experience Points]

[Level increased to level 2, all attributes increased by 10]

As the voice faded, a void panel suddenly appeared before Lin Mo's eyes:

Name: Lin Mo

[Level: 2]

【Body: 20】

[Agility: 20]

【Spirit: 20】

Free attribute points: 10

[Skills: None]

Before I could even savor the faint warmth brought by the upgrade, my ears were filled with terrified screams and shouts.

"Murder...murder!!"

"He killed Father Lind!!"

"A demon! This hero is a demon!!"

"Quickly...quickly go and inform the city lord!"

……

The once solemn and dignified church was now in chaos, and the joy and fervor on the faces of the pastors were replaced by boundless fear.

Some people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, while others turned around and tried to run away.

There were also a few slightly younger, stronger men with expressions of shock and anger on their faces.

They grabbed nearby candlesticks or ceremonial scepters and tried to surround them.

However, the summoning ritual that lasted for half a month had already exhausted their physical strength.

In addition, since it is a profession that requires a livelihood, leveling up will not improve attributes.

They are now like mayflies trying to shake a tree when facing Lin Mo, who has just been upgraded.

Lin Mo turned his head and looked at the group of people who had just been advising him to forget the past and that his mother would be pleased.

Their fears and accusations were like noise, burning away the last trace of hesitation and confusion in Lin Mo's heart.

Can not go back?

No, the system said I can go back!

It's these people, it's this damned call.

Anger and the sense of power brought by the upgrade mingled together, driving his body.

"You forced me to do this!"

Lin Mo let out a low growl, his voice hoarse yet carrying a chilling determination.

He stopped thinking about it and stopped hesitating.

There was only one thought in my mind—complete the system's task, activate the system, and then go home!

He took a sudden step forward, the longsword in his hand whistling through the air.

Without hesitation, he struck the nearest priest who was holding a candlestick and trembling all over.

puff!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was exceptionally clear and jarring in the empty church.

The priest didn't even have time to block before he collapsed with an incredulous expression.

Kill a level 10 priest (life profession)

[Gain Experience Points]

The notification tone was cold and indifferent, but Lin Mo ignored it.

He charged through the crowd like a tiger among sheep, relying on his suddenly enhanced physique and agility, as well as a ruthless, all-or-nothing spirit.

Most of these priests were engaged in livelihood professions, had low ranks, and were weak in combat.

Their holy prayers seemed pale and powerless in the face of absolute speed and slaughter.

The longsword was brandished, sending up sprays of warm blood.

Screams, pleas for mercy, and curses rose and fell, then quickly faded away.

Lin Mo's eyes were cold, and his movements were mechanical and efficient.

He didn't know any swordsmanship; he just relied on instinct to slash, chop, and thrust.

He regarded every movement as an obstacle preventing him from returning home and eliminated them one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, the world fell silent after the last priest who tried to climb toward the gate was stabbed in the back by him.

All that remained were his heavy breathing and the dripping sound of blood falling from the tip of the sword to the ground.

What was once a church has now been transformed into a battlefield.

The corpses lay scattered on the ground, and the heavy stench of blood was almost nauseating.

Lin Mo stood alone in the middle of the pool of blood, his entire body covered in blood.

The longsword in his hand, named the Holy Armor of Light, also had several tiny nicks from the killing.

Exhausted, he threw the longsword to the ground.

Looking around, they confirmed that there were no more survivors.

At this point, his level had also increased to level 4.

His current total attributes have reached 40 points, a fourfold increase from when he first arrived, and that doesn't even include the free attribute points.

But he doesn't care about these things now.

He anxiously asked himself, "Mission accomplished! What's next?"

However, this time, what echoed in my mind was no longer that cold, mechanical voice.

[Pfft—]

A girl's laughter, tinged with obvious mockery and languor, rang out, replacing the original system's voice.

I didn't expect you to actually do it, and you were quite efficient at it!

Lin Mo was suddenly stunned, a strong sense of unease instantly gripping him: "You're not the system? You lied to me?!"

【hey-hey,】

The voice was smug.

[I only sensed your anger and, incidentally, read through your memories, so I impersonated the system to fool you for a bit.]

Just then, the blood flowing from Father Linde's chest, who was lying on the ground, seemed to come alive and began to float upwards and gather against gravity.

They rapidly condensed in the air into a continuously rotating, expanding dark red blood sphere, emanating a strong ominous aura.

The surface of the blood cells undulates, then unfolds and dissipates like flower petals.

A petite figure appeared in mid-air.

She was only the size of a palm, wearing a tight black leather outfit that accentuated her slender figure.

A pair of small, black demon wings fluttered gently behind her, keeping her suspended in mid-air.

Her long, fiery red hair cascaded down, framing a delicate face with a wicked smile.

She stretched lazily, as if she had just had a good nap, and let out a satisfied sigh: "Ah—finally someone committed murder in the church! I've been suffocating! This demon king is finally resurrected!"

Lin Mo frowned deeply: "Where's the system? How do I get back?!"

The little girl who called herself the Demon King stood with her hands on her hips, hovering in the air, looking down at Lin Mo.

With an extremely arrogant expression on her face, she announced in a clear yet arrogance-filled voice:

"I already told you, I was just kidding! Listen carefully—"

She deliberately dragged out the tone.

"I am the Demon King Yin Xue, who once made the entire continent tremble and was invincible! Hehehehe~"
