Destroy the magic circle

Approximately five minutes, after the trampling of war five times, the bodies of the Holy See guards began to increase dramatically.

"Why hasn't the Lord Bishop arrived yet?"

"Damn it, how is this person on the blue strange horse so powerful!"

The remaining Holy See guards were anxious. They had been completely brainwashed by the Holy See, turning into tools unafraid of death. However, they were worried about the disruption of the ritual to summon the gods, which seemed absurd.

After clearing all the Holy See guards, Jiang Han hurried to the side of the teleportation array. Watching Fayge, who was swinging a large axe trying to destroy the array, he asked, "Can't break it?"

"Mm!"

Fayge heavily struck the semi-transparent barrier on the edge of the array with his axe. Ripples appeared on the barrier, but it remained intact, showing no signs of damage.

"Let me try."

Riding the Blue Scale Beast, Jiang Han launched a war stomp against the array barrier.

"Boom!"

The two front hooves of the Blue Scale Beast slammed into the barrier, but the array continued to rotate calmly. Instead, the Blue Scale Beast suffered from the recoil, turning into blue light and dissipating. Jiang Han, somewhat embarrassed, fell to the ground.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Your Blue Scale Beast has died, unable to summon again within three hours.

Fortunately, creatures that became mounts wouldn't permanently die due to this. Jiang Han stood up, placed his hand on the barrier, his expression solemn as he contemplated a strategy.

There are no unsolvable tasks!

There must be a way to rescue Fayge's sister!

"Sister!"

Among the hundreds of children, an eight-year-old girl with a blue bracelet on her hand came to Fayge. Through the barrier, with teary eyes, she said, "Thank you for coming to save me. Please leave quickly. The Bishop is coming, and the Holy See's Bishop is very powerful..."

"I won't!"

Fayge, with bloodshot eyes, crazily chopped at the array barrier. Due to the recoil, his tiger's mouth was torn, blood flowing, "Shatter, damn it!"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the entire array rotated faster. In the center, a strong light gathered, forming a dazzling white crystal. The crystal floated in mid-air, releasing a sacred and inviolable aura.

Undoubtedly, the progress of the array operation had accelerated.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a surging pressure swept from the distant secret passage, like a giant stone, pressing on Jiang Han's chest, hindering his breathing.

A strong individual was rapidly approaching, and the danger was escalating!

How to crack this? The mission cannot be a dead end...

Jiang Han's brain worked frantically, searching for a solution.

"Bang!"

The axe, thrown off due to the recoil, fell. Fayge's hands, shaking violently, blood flowing, he laughed maniacally, eyes bloodshot, completely in despair.

The Bishop of the Holy See, at least a celestial-level strength. It was impossible for him and Jiang Han to contend. 

Oh, right, Yi Jianghanshui!

He looked towards Jiang Han, and in a somewhat numb manner, took out an amber necklace and a teleportation scroll, handing them to Jiang Han urgently, "Brother, thank you for coming to save my sister. You shouldn't die here. After you go back, take care of everyone in Tianhai Town for me. Consider it a favor from Fayge..."

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Do you choose to complete the mission [Rescue] (Current difficulty: A)?

"..."

Jiang Han fell silent for a moment.

So, this is considered completing the mission?

Clearly, without saving anyone, you can still claim the reward and escape safely?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Han pushed away the necklace and the teleportation array, and in Fayge's bewildered expression, said, "I don't like sentimental stories. Give me the bracelet, and I'll get your sister out!"

Bond Bracelet!

This was the key to solving the mission!

According to Fayge, the two people wearing the bracelet could exchange positions within ten meters. Since Fayge's sister didn't want her brother to suffer, and the brother didn't want to leave his sister, sacrificing himself as an outsider was the best ending.

Of course, Jiang Han did not think there was anything wrong with Fayge's sister's thinking.

Joining the dark camp requires completing tasks. She definitely doesn't have that ability, and being part of the light camp, her own strength is insufficient. Wherever she runs, she will be caught and brought back. Escaping would at best grant her temporary reprieve.

"This..."

Fayge hesitated.

"I'm cursing your sister's death! In such a critical moment, stop being wishy-washy. I won't sacrifice myself. There must be a way to leave." Jiang Han cursed loudly.

"Alright!"

Scolded by Jiang Han, Fayge came to his senses, decisively took off the bracelet, and handed it to Jiang Han.

Wearing the bracelet without checking its attributes, Jiang Han, without delay, saw a new skill in the skill bar. Looking fiercely at Fayge's sister, Liss, he said, "Don't imitate your brother. Quickly teleport me!"

Liss: "..."

"Swoosh!"

The positions swapped, and Liss appeared outside the array, while Jiang Han was trapped inside.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Please note that, due to unknown reasons, you are in a "Confined" state and cannot use teleportation-type items!

As expected, being inside the array would undoubtedly have restrictions.

Jiang Han wasn't surprised. If teleportation items could be used inside it, there wouldn't be a need for the so-called rescue; Fayge's sister would have agreed to swap positions with her brother long ago.

"Hurry, go immediately!" Jiang Han commanded.

Fayge and his sister had to leave. With the bracelet on him, as long as his sister left, there would be a chance for him to use the bracelet to teleport to Fayge's sister and escape safely.

"Sizzle..."

The scroll was torn apart, and Fayge and Liss stood together. A teleportation array appeared under their feet. Within the array, Fayge knelt down, tears in his tiger eyes, "Brother, thank you for saving my sister. My life is yours from now on!"

"Trample, trample, trample..."

At the exit of the secret passage, hundreds of Holy See guards rushed over swiftly. The leader was an old man in red clothes. He glared fiercely, face full of murderous intent, charging towards Fayge, "Want to run? Dream on!"

Grip of the Undead!

As he rapidly approached, a hand formed from the purple-black energy blocked in front, gripping him for 0.25 seconds. It slowed his momentum, allowing him to watch as Fayge and Liss disappeared in the teleportation array a dozen meters away.

"You dare to stop me, you insect?" He angrily glared at Jiang Han, who was inside the array.

Jiang Han remained indifferent, "I've already stopped you, why bother asking if I dare?"

"You!"

The old man was furious, then laughed sinisterly, "Alright, alright. Today, I will chop you

 into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

Saying so, he reached out, pressed against the array barrier, chanting words to open a gap for himself to pass through.

"Buzz..."

The rotation speed of the array increased, and the white light on the ground became even brighter.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!..."

Children inside the array inexplicably appeared with wounds. Strands of blood flowed out, converging towards the center of the array. This caused the white crystal to gradually be tainted with a beautiful crimson color.

"It's over; we're going to die!"

"Sob sob sob, I don't want to die. I want my mom!"

"Mom, where are you? I promise I won't be naughty again..."

...

Those children cried weakly, and their last hope shattered.

Jiang Han never thought of himself as someone with an overflowing heart, and he understood he was playing a game. But witnessing this scene, he still felt a bit reluctant.

"Clang..."

He arrived in front of the crystal absorbing blood. Wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword, he swung it down. The crisp collision sound rang out, and the crystal remained undamaged.

Thinking about it, the barrier of the array was unbreakable, let alone the central crystal.

Can't save them?

Jiang Han frowned.

No!

They can be saved!

"Sizzle..."

His left hand tightly held the blade, slashing.

Ignoring the sharp pain, Jiang Han pressed his blood-drenched palm onto the crystal. Fingers clenched, he wished to crush it.

"You... you..."

The old man outside the array, now in a frenzy, roared, "Do you know what you're doing, you little beast?"

"I know very well!"

Jiang Han's gaze was clear.

The Sword God had said it; the Dark Swordsman was evil from head to toe. Body, blood, soul—all were evil!

If this crystal needed the blood of children with an affinity for light elements as an offering to summon the gods, then let me, Jiang Han, taint this purity with my pure evil!
