The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

The towering flames licked the night sky, dyeing layers upon layers of clouds in stacks of blood-red hues, while billowing black smoke settled over the wasteland's edge like a flock of crows. Below those flames, countless monsters gnashed their teeth and sucked blood; such was the scenery at the end of Accumulation;

Closer to An Su, the tower and church buildings known as 'Dawn Cathedral' were littered with the corpses of Holy Knights. The glazed tiles scattered the distant bright red sky, the cathedral teetered on the brink of collapse, as if it might topple before dawn.

[Dawn may never come, Dawn is coming... perhaps only the last night remains]

[Mission Introduction One: Hold out until dawn arrives]

[Full score: Five points, Current progress (0)]

[Dawn deadline: Three hours]

[Mission Introduction Two: Stitched Life will devour Dawn Saintess, whose ceremony is currently taking place in the main hall of the Dawn Cathedral. Please protect the Dawn Saintess until the ceremony is completed]

[Full Score: Five points, Current progress (0)]

[End time of Dawn Ceremony: Six hours]

[Mission Introduction Three: Followers of Life are located on one side of the wasteland, endlessly creating Stitched Life with Life Magic. As the number of human bodies transported increases, their assault will become more intense. Please try to kill as many Stitched Lives as possible]

[Number killed: 0]

[Full score: Ten points, Current progress (0)]

[Note 1: Dawn Cathedral is protected by Holy Barrier Magic; Stitched Life can currently only attack from the shattered eastern side of the tower, but more breaches will appear in the barrier over time]

[Note 2: The blessed statues in the cathedral will restore the saints' lost magic power, recovering five magic points per minute, but the recovered magic power can only be used for Holy Light Magic. Holy Saints, please use Sacred Light to dispel all darkness]

[Note 3: This room's evaluation, having been deemed too easy, is therefore a two-person room]

[If a saint dies, the examination will end immediately, and they will exit the room]

[All Holy Light Magic of the saint has been unlocked, and the original rank of the saint has been restored]

Protect the Dawn Saintess, huh... An Su revealed a contemplative expression.

At the end of the Third Era, the Radiant Holy Saintess, also known as Dawn Saintess, named 'Maria Yasi' was a notably famous figure among the lineage of Holy Light Saintesses. Once her ceremony was completed, she could purify all dark beings with the dawn.

An Su wiped at his neck, erasing the trickling blood from his skin. Pale magic surged from his hands, healing the wound caused by the stitched monster;

He furrowed his brow slightly. This room had three missions, and the points were double those of other rooms. Hence, the difficulty must have risen exponentially.

The missions might look complex but could be brutally simplified—Mission one: save one's own life, Mission two: save the Holy Saintess's life, Mission Three: kill... An Su thought that as long as there was Mission Three, killing all enemies would naturally complete the first two tasks.

What genuinely troubled An Su was that, although the examination had restored his original rank, it only unlocked Holy Light Magic.

This was clearly the malice of the designer, Old Thief Merlin, cutting An Su down to half-capacity with a single strike!

As a Light and Dark Priest, looking back at his entire magic arsenal, the Holy Light Magic suitable for direct combat was quite scarce, mostly used in conjunction with other magic.

And An Su's mightiest Holy Magic, "Holy Light Judgment"—these stitched monsters had neither hair nor a Sense of God, only craving to devour the Radiant Holy Saintess, making it completely useless.

As for transforming into Radiant Light Ultraman... The radiation from the Radiant Light warrior would affect the entire field indiscriminately, allies and enemies alike, which would directly interfere with the Dawn Saintess's prayer ceremony.

It's all targeting me...

An Su did not wallow in self-pity; rather, he curved his lips into a calm smile, his pale blue eyes twinkling with light. To a cunning player, the more targeted by the designer, the more they could discover the true fun of the game in exploiting the rules—he was such a person.

Using all available materials, every possible means to find a way to pass the level.

And the most suspicious part was note three.

What does it mean... because this room's difficulty is too low, so a teammate was set?

This statement is contradictory, all pecked with holes!

This was what most troubled An Su.

Now there's no time to dwell on these issues... An Su focused on the stitched monster before him. This was the first one he had to kill.

The Stitched Life had fully sprawled its form, a dozen stitched palms crawling on the floor, and another dozen arms lifted high, wielding various weapons made from human bones, rushing toward An Su like a massive mountain!

[First attack]

[Please defeat Esoteric Sect Vanguard: Stitched Life, Human Centipede]

Many viewers with weaker psyches involuntarily closed their eyes, thinking An Su wouldn't even be able to kill the first monster.

After all, it was a Fourth Tier Stitched Life, and at such close range!

The magician simply didn't have time to chant the magic.

And the name of the monster sounded so perverse, who knows which pervert designed it...

An Su stepped back twice, his remaining half of the Blood Redemption Dagger engaging the bone spurs, igniting a series of flowing sparks amid the collision of blood and bone, emitting a sharp screeching sound—

Since magic was momentarily unusable, he'd use physical techniques first.

Blood spread, bones shattered, and like a resilient pine, An Su stood unyielding. The Mother Goddess's blessing endowed him with tremendous spiritual power. To An Su's eyes, the movements of the Stitched Life seemed slow, as if entering slow motion.
