I, the Goblin King: Rise to Dominate the Other World-Chapter 60 – Church support, Holy Cross Guardians!
Taking advantage of the Sword Saintess's momentary pause, Lin Tian raised his dagger, aiming for the wound on her abdomen. Unexpectedly, she managed to flip in mid-air, kicking Lin Tian away. Fortunately, Lin Tian blocked with his dagger, only sliding back a short distance.
"This is really tough. Her strength has clearly dropped to around 2500, yet she's still so formidable. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse."
Lin Tian quickly closed the distance again. When he was close enough, he unleashed the skill 'Residual Howl'! The nearby soldiers were instantly killed. The Sword Saintess was momentarily dazed, then activated her skill, "Holy Sword Intent!" Sword Qi swirled around her body, dissipating abruptly and pulling her consciousness back. She hurriedly blocked Lin Tian's surprise attack and even countered with a slash, injuring Lin Tian.
Touching the wound on his head, Lin Tian realized that continuing like this could lead to mutual destruction, or even defeat. After all, the Sword Saintess belonged to the holy faction, capable of suppressing him. His magical creature skills had minimal effect on her.
At this moment, Alice Nia's eyes burned with fury, "Today, we must end this!" Lin Tian sneered coldly, "Do you enjoy the taste of failure, hmm?"
"Shut up!" Alice Nia swung her sword at him. Lin Tian calmly evaded, moving next to a soldier. The powerful and icy long sword stopped at the soldier's neck, causing him to collapse to his knees, trembling in fear.
"If you have the guts, stop dodging and stand still!" Alice Nia frantically chased after him with her sword. Lin Tian continued to dodge, his speed surpassing hers, so he wasn't worried. His goal was to make Alice Nia's resolve collapse again, allowing him to use Decaying Blood on her. Otherwise, she would block it.
An hour passed. Lin Tian didn't attack, just played around, hiding behind soldiers. Each time Alice Nia was about to strike him, she had to stop, or she would kill the soldiers too. Many of them were rendered useless by Lin Tian, unable to escape, becoming his human shields.
"Kill me, Sword Saintess! Kill me!" "Yes, avenge us, strike me down!" The soldiers cried out in despair. Under their voices, Alice Nia froze, hesitating. She had truly considered killing them along with herself.
The soldier Lin Tian had grabbed pleaded, "Sword Saintess, just take care of my wife and daughter, kill me!" "This is pointless, let's just end it here today. After all, this battle ends in your miserable defeat again," Lin Tian said, feigning boredom.
Seeing him about to escape, Alice Nia couldn't hold back any longer. She closed her eyes and slashed down! The soldier was instantly cut in half! But Lin Tian had already dodged, a cold smile on his lips, his plan succeeding!
If this continued, she would go completely mad. In just a few seconds, Alice Nia had slain several soldiers. Her vision was blurred by blood, the world turning crimson, her mind consumed by a single word: kill! Kill them all!
In a few minutes, all the soldiers lay dead by her sword, the holy sword that guarded the kingdom. Lin Tian laughed triumphantly, "Well done, Sword Saintess, your methods of killing people are even more impressive than slaying magical creatures."
"Thud!" Alice Nia snapped back to her senses, stunned by the bloody scene before her. She couldn't believe she had done it. But looking down, the blood on her holy sword was still warm, her body covered in it.
"I... I killed so many... so many I was supposed to protect..." Alice Nia's eyes trembled, questioning herself. This was the moment! Lin Tian wiped the blood from his head wound onto his dagger and launched a sneak attack! Piercing through her armor, stabbing into her shoulder.
Alice Nia pushed Lin Tian away with all her strength, screaming, "I will kill you! Why did you do this? Why kill them?" For a moment, it was unclear if she was talking to herself or someone else.
Just as she prepared to attack again, a sharp pain shot through her shoulder. Despite the adrenaline, the pain was excruciating, bringing her to her knees. Her strength was rapidly fading, and she could feel her holy power slipping away.
"Deity, please don't do this to me, it's not my fault, I will protect everyone, I..." Alice Nia reached out to the sky, pleading. She believed the deity was punishing her for slaughtering her own, stripping her of her power. With the sky covered in dark clouds, she thought even the deity didn't want to look at her.
Suddenly, Lin Tian appeared before her, delivering a punch that sent her flying! Her sword fell to the ground. Alice Nia didn't resist, overwhelmed with regret, but repentance was futile. Her comrades died before her eyes, her people by her hand!
The pressure overwhelmed her mind. As the rain began to fall, in endless pain and guilt, the severely injured Alice Nia finally fainted. Lin Tian looked at her perfect body with sympathy, "Such a powerful woman, yet with a fatal weakness."
Under the suppression of Decaying Blood, she wouldn't wake up anytime soon. Previously, Lin Tian would have killed her and devoured her. He might have even wanted to make her his plaything, but that was too difficult. She would rather die than let that happen.
But now, perhaps it was possible. Under the corruption of Decaying Blood, the Sword Saintess would lose her holy powers. If she believed she was abandoned by the deity and chose to fall into corruption, he would have a chance.
"This is far from enough, so let me plant a seed of corruption in you..." Lin Tian grinned, chillingly. He tore off the platinum armor symbolizing purity. As the armor fell away, her snow-white skin, accompanied by a fragrance, came into view. Every inch seemed like a masterpiece, unmatched in the world.
In the silent environment, under the rainy weather, the rain grew heavier. As her fair skin was stained with muddy water, a once pure and noble soul crumbled with the pollution of the flesh. This feeling was unlike anything he had experienced before.
Compared to the Sword Saintess, others seemed to lack something. Immersed in the moment, Lin Tian's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain! A sense of extreme danger approached quietly.
In the distance, Brutal, who had fled, returned, face full of fear, almost in tears. He shouted to Lin Tian, "The Church! The Church is here! Run!" Lin Tian asked in surprise, "The Church?"
"Yes, it's the Holy Church! A bishop is here!" Brutal didn't even care that Lin Tian had obtained the Sword Saintess. He ran past him! Under the gray sky, Lin Tian saw a group approaching, about a dozen people, but the rain made it hard to see clearly.
Then, a thunderclap boomed! In the flash of lightning, Lin Tian saw them clearly. Tall figures, clad in heavy armor, wielding great swords, advancing step by step. The emblem on their armor was striking, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure!
A large cross-shaped emblem indicated they were the Church's Cross Guards! Lin Tian completed his final act, then distanced himself, ready to confront them, not daring to act rashly.
The bishop of the Cross Guards looked at the Sword Saintess on the ground and sighed, "I didn't expect even she would fall, to a mere Goblin..." "A harmless appearance hiding terrifying power and visage, a typical demon," the bishop said slowly, placing his great sword on the ground with a thud.
Finally, he ordered, "Cross Guards, in the name of the Deity, offer your strength for peace in this world, expel the demon! Hallelujah!" Suddenly, ten Cross Guards charged at Lin Tian! Despite their heavy appearance, their speed was incredibly fast!

They clashed. Each strike was difficult for Lin Tian to block. Realizing the situation was dire, these guys were far stronger than expected. A quick glance at their stats revealed they all had 3000 strength! Terrified, he turned to flee, slashing his palm to spill Decaying Blood.
The Cross Guards sensed something wrong with the blood, "A forbidden item, don't chase, that Goblin is truly a demon..." Lin Tian fled in the opposite direction, then took a detour. "Damn, is this the Church's power? Even a grunt has 3000 combat strength, looks like the plan needs a major overhaul!"
Lin Tian ran without looking back, as far as he could. In the ruins of Bright Town, the bishop calmly approached the Sword Saintess. He draped his red cloak over her, picked her up, "Let's head back, this child needs the cleansing and guidance of a priest, or she might fall into corruption."
"Bishop, shouldn't we deal with the Goblin threat? And the Ox Ghost's body, and... Deity's servant Ifreya..." a Cross Guard asked. The bishop looked around, sighed, "We're too late, just bury the bodies. As for Ifreya, the archbishop already said the Deity has chosen a new servant, no need to search further."
With that, the Cross Guards understood. It was a pity, Ifreya's talent was the best among the servants of the Deity, potentially becoming a Holy Mother. They then took the Sword Saintess back to the capital.
A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
Originally, Pheromone had requested their help against the Goblins, but the Church was short-handed, and they had come from far away.
