Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 36 The End of the Situation
(It’s a pity that I can only end it so hastily. It’s really not my intention to collide with reality... Let’s wait for the new volume tomorrow.)
"It doesn't seem like holy light anymore..."
But that's how it is.
Looking at the players' bodies gradually turning into light and disappearing in the ruins, Li Lin had no expression on his face.
He didn't need to worry about the aftermath, and the leaders of this planet were not stupid. They would not cause trouble to a temporary worker of Holy Light. They knew what was going on. Although Li Lin was not very satisfied with the spoils of war, he was still very happy with the result.
Justice once again triumphed over evil, and the warriors who manipulated the Holy Light nipped the demons' conspiracy in the bud. No matter how you look at it, it was a happy ending. Although the Holy Light controlled the surrounding insect swarms and some, uh, inhumane technical and magical means, and the demons were affectionate, righteous, full of tactics and enthusiasm, but no matter what, Li Lin, as a non-staff member of the Holy Light, would once again and forever win.
"But this time, there is a high possibility that many originally neutral demons will join the Pale Crusade. We may need to pay attention to this."
"But we are civilian workers here. I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place, mentor."
"It won't be long before you become combat professionals. You studied combat professions, so it's understandable that you want to relax here, but you must not forget your original identity."
Furthermore, the information extracted from the soul is also quite interesting.
Li Lin thought about the message revealed above and nodded to his students. After returning to the Holy Light Chapel and communicating with George, and confirming that the last bit of remnant had been completely eradicated, this mission was completed with a whimper.
There were no surprises, no special images, and no terrifying boss that suddenly appeared and asked you to change maps. In normal scenarios, the incarnation of the great devil was already the most terrifying enemy encountered in this situation. The incarnation of the gods could not even defeat the power aggregate of the great devil, which was already the limit of normal combat.
However, the next battle, the terrifying and resolute Pale Crusade, was not a normal problem. And those players did not realize this.
Their insights are not sufficient to determine the limits of conventional and unconventional combat.
"Well, this mission is over."
Don’t say that I searched your soul, or I’ll make you pay.
After writing down the last point on paper, Li Lin patted George on the shoulder and gave him a kind smile.
However, George obviously didn't take it seriously. There were all kinds of Holy Light Pioneers, some with more indescribable magic than Li Lin's, so George just shrugged his shoulders and didn't care about Li Lin's fuss.
"But speaking of it, these players can summon the incarnation of the Great Demon... um... it's a bit difficult to deal with. In this case, the destructive and terrifying characteristics will become more serious, right? Really, how can players get the Great Demon incarnation at such an early stage? If they don't like a city, can't they just sneak in and kill it? Isn't your Great Demon a little too cheap?"
“…”
George, who was writing a report with a gloomy face, looked at Li Lin with an indescribable look, then recalled a certain loli teaching assistant and wisely shut his mouth.
So the lack of an audience did not affect Li Lin's pretense at all, he was still thinking about his own problems. The damage caused by summoning the Great Demon Avatar to devour is permanent, Li Lin believes that these people also know this, otherwise they would not show such a confident expression. I don't know how many NPCs have been tricked by this trick, the player may be the only one here, because if there are more victims, the forum would have exploded long ago.
The demons are a group of free creatures who don't care about the logic and ethics of reality. They just act according to their own ideas and wishes. People who want the demons to act according to their own ideas often die miserably. So Li Lin gave these players a free education lesson, slowly extracting their souls, and then gradually crushing and squeezing them in the insect swarm formed by magic power, putting all the last bit of surplus value into internal evolution. The news he got made him feel particularly funny.
The entire demon has no direct relationship with the Pale Expedition. The demon is convinced that there is a secret treasure handed down from ancient times that can drive the demon crazy and is sealed on this planet. In the distant ancient times, this place was one of the tentacles of the Holy Light system. The expeditionary forces used spells and some incomprehensible means to seal those terrors in nothingness, so that they could no longer show their terror and sins. This coincides with the truth that Li Lin came here to seek - he actually came to do the Holy Light Pioneer mission, this must not be forgotten. Li Lin also has some thoughts on this.
But no matter what, the existence of the players is to pave the way for the big demon. Even the death and exposure of the players are within their plan. But obviously, their plan does not include the existence of a Holy Light Vanguard on vacation and another big demon joining forces.
"...Well, in other words, I want others to believe that all the messy situations and unexpected conditions that are happening now are because a great demon has set its sights on this place? In that case, I need to quote a few allusions."
This sounds really convincing. I remember there was actually someone who set his sights on the saint.
George, who had received all the information, was not very surprised. He dipped his pen in ink and wrote on the paper smoothly that Lecturer Li Lin was likely to have fallen into a demonic barrier. Then, Li Lin pushed back with a dark face, and George honestly wrote a superficial article praising his own mentor. However, he had not written for long when some strange situations were reported around him.
The light bulbs became unusually bright, and the surrounding musical instruments began to play without anyone playing. From time to time, I could hear the voices of some men singing, which sounded unusually steady and full of a tenacious mystery.
Faced with these strange phenomena, George, who was threatened by Li Lin to write a report, was as surprised as a horse being led.
"It's the Archbishop. It must be the Archbishop who has returned!"
"What? You judge whether a person will come back mainly by whether the room is haunted or not?"
"That's not the case, because only the Archbishop can make the instruments on the planet feel happy and joyful. So once this happens, it must be the Archbishop's return."
"Then your archbishop is really a-- never mind."
Just pretend I didn't say anything.
Li Lin originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but after remembering his own identity and abilities, he wisely shut his mouth.
However, the archbishop who had already arrived obviously did not choose to miss the opportunity to contact the Divine Light Vanguard Officer. A few minutes later, an arranged meeting took place in a small conference room.
