A silver light descended from the sky and threw Lucian to the ground.
A painful howl came from Lucian's mouth. That silver light was actually a person, a woman, a woman with butterfly wings.
She held a light gun in her hand and stabbed it into Lucian's chest. Her legs broke Lucian's arms, and this wasn't the end. She was still breathing deeply, and with every breath, the light element in Lucian's body was forcibly sucked into her body.
Only then did Beta realize that the woman who had pounced down from the sky was actually the butterfly lady.
With every breath, the golden wings on Lucian's back became fainter and fainter, while the butterfly lady's wings became brighter and brighter.
Anyone with a little common sense could tell that the butterfly lady was absorbing the other party's power of light.
Lucian felt the light element in his body rapidly vanish. He was extremely shocked and struggled with all his might, but unfortunately, his arms were already broken and his body was being controlled by an inexplicable power. Furthermore, his power was constantly decreasing, so his strength to struggle naturally decreased.
With every breath, Lucian was weakening, but the butterfly lady was becoming stronger and stronger. Soon, the wings on Lucian's back turned from gold to white, and then gradually dimmed before completely disappearing.
Lucian had already lost all his power of light … and the butterfly lady's wings were constantly expanding. Originally, they were only 1.5 meters long when spread out, but now they were at least two meters long. Furthermore, the light from the butterfly wings was much brighter than before. When she flapped, there were even specks of light falling down. It was very beautiful.
The butterfly lady snapped Lucian's neck with one foot. Then, she turned her head and glanced at Beta. Then, she flapped her wings and slowly flew into the sky.
"Wait a minute!" Betta suddenly called out.
The butterfly lady's body paused. She stopped in midair and turned back to look at Beta.
After not seeing her for some time, Beta realized that she seemed to have become more beautiful. Of course, this could also be a misconception. After all, the butterfly lady had absorbed a large amount of power of light just now. Now, her entire body was shining with silver light, as if she had activated beauty effect of a photo.
She just waited without say anything.
Beta, on the other hand, took a deep breath and shouted, "Come down, I have something to say to you."
The butterfly lady looked at Beta, then at Shirley, who was beside him. After that, she didn't move and just quietly floated in the air.
"I promise I won't hurt you."
It seemed like Beta's guarantee worked. After hesitating for a while, the butterfly lady floated down. However, she was a little far from Beta, as though she was afraid that Beta would hurt her.
In fact, Beta's system was currently informing him that the butterfly lady in front of him was very dangerous and had already reached level 13.
Originally, the butterfly lady was only level 11, but after absorbing Lucian's light power, she had leveled up by two levels, and her strength had increased tremendously. If it was in the past, Beta would have had the confidence to defeat the butterfly lady. But now, Beta felt that he didn't have much of a chance. Moreover, the butterfly lady could fly. It wasn't like Beta's technique of using spatial bubbles to fly in a straight line, but true flight.
Generally speaking, it was more difficult for a ground professional who couldn't fly and didn't have any guidance magic techniques to deal with a professional who had the advantage in the air.
Beta looked at the butterfly lady, at this woman who had skin contact with him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said, "What's your name?"
The butterfly lady looked at Beta with a subtle expression. After a while, she slowly said, "I originally had a name, but I borrowed it from someone else. I can't use it anymore … You can help me think of one."
"Judy." Beta knew that she was a humanoid magical beast, so he didn't find it strange that he would help the butterfly lady come up with a name.
The butterfly lady lowered her eyelids and murmured her name in her heart. Then, she soared into the air again and quickly disappeared into the night sky, leaving only a trail of stardust.
Beta called out twice, but he couldn't stop the butterfly lady this time.
Shirley sighed and said, "Master, I always feel that your taste is very abnormal. A hybrid succubus, and now a humanoid magical beast. Such a good, clean, and noble woman like me is available for you to pick, but you don't have any of them. Could it be that the saying in Hollevin is true? That all men like beautiful, bad women? "
Ignoring Shirley, Beta sighed and walked out of the temple. Very soon, he ran into Katie, who was standing guard outside the temple.
The moment Katie saw Beta, she rushed to him and said anxiously, "We just saw a strange silver creature flying in the sky. What happened?"
Behind Beta, Shirley pursed her lips and said unhappily, "That's Beta's little lover. Don't worry about it!"
Katie was baffled. In her eyes, Beta was a rare good man. Not only was he decent, but he also didn't touch the beautiful Shirley who came to him. It was the truest performance of an ascetic believer. This kind of person who could resist beauty and had enough political wisdom was the most suitable candidate for the Pope.
Ignoring Shirley's slight jealousy, Beta asked, "Katie, how's the defense outside?"
"Five people ran out. We killed three who refused to surrender, and tied up the other two."
Beta nodded. "Let the brothers clean up this temple. Starting from tomorrow, this will be our branch temple. Don't dismantle the statue of the Goddess of Light in a hurry. To some extent, the statue is equivalent to a clone of the goddess. If we dismantle it by force, it will attract her attention. Find a few people tomorrow and have them carve a statue of our goddess. Let me know when it's done. "
"Right, have two brothers cut off Bard's ears and send them to Joyce and the other victim's homes. One ear at a time. Tell them that Beta has fulfilled his promise. "
"Okay." Katie nodded excitedly.
It was the biggest thing she had done since she joined the Woking Temple. Although she only helped guard the exit and didn't contribute much, she was still happy and excited to see one of them conquer a temple.
Besides, she had learned a lot from this incident. She didn't think that she would be so confused in similar situations in the future.
After giving the orders, Beta and Shirley, who had done the most work, went back to rest.
The next day, when he opened the gate of the temple, he found a bunch of nobles waiting outside. They all came in carriages with chests of gold coins on them.
The two fireballs last night were so loud that nobody in the city was deaf. Not only could they hear it, but they could also see what happened.
The fall of the Temple of Light was completely out of their expectation. So, they came with the gold coins in the morning.
They planned to carry out the gold coin sacrifice. Firstly, they could strengthen themselves, and secondly, they could use it to express their attitude towards the Woking Temple.
Looking at the nobles who swarmed in, Beta smiled. At this moment, the faith of Bronze Drum City belonged to Woking. Although most of them were still shallow believers, they would become true believers as time went by. Beta was confident, because he wrote the doctrine.
In the next few days, the temple had digested another five thousand gold coins. All of this money flowed into Woking's Divine Kingdom. In addition to the six thousand gold coins from a few days ago, the Woking Temple had earned more than ten thousand gold coins from many nobles in less than a month. This number was enough to scare many small noble families to death.
At the same time, the school next to the temple was also built. Beta personally selected more than a hundred children with high faith from the slums as the first batch of students.
In addition, the new statue of Woking had been carved. After learning the news from Katie, Beta asked her to send someone to move the statue of Woking to the Temple of Light, together with the statue of the Goddess of Light.
Then, Beta walked to the statue of the Goddess of Woking and said, "Goddess, I have something to talk to you about tonight. Can you summon me to the paradise?"
The eyes of the statue of Woking flickered, and Beta knew that the Goddess heard him.
At night, Beta arrived at Woking's paradise in a trance.
Woking sat upright under the throne, wearing a pure white dress. Although the dress looked very plain, when she wore it, it gave off a special sense of beauty that was a mixture of purity and nobility.
"Goddess, long time no see. You have become even more beautiful."
Woking looked at Beta, and her delicate eyebrows trembled. She said slowly, "Why did you come to me this time?"
"I just have some questions. Please answer them, Goddess."
"Speak." Woking spat out one word without hesitation.
"Some time ago, we carried out many gold coin sacrifices in Bronze Drum City. Do you know about it, Goddess?"
"Of course I know. Their strength is transformed from my divine power. I know everyone who has carried out the gold coin sacrifice. "Woking's expression was a little strange." Why do you ask this question? "
"Since the Goddess knows about every gold coin sacrifice, I would like to ask where the gold coins go."
Woking's breathtakingly beautiful face was a little puzzled. "Naturally, they come to my paradise."
She pointed around and said, "When the gold coins that have been sacrificed come to my paradise, they become floating islands made of gold. Each floating island here can produce at least a million gold coins."
Beta looked around at the floating islands and couldn't help but shake his head. He said, "Goddess, although you are the God of Wealth, there will be more and more gold coins in the future. To put it bluntly, this is not good. If this continues, one day, the Temple of Woking will become the target of public criticism. "
There was a little smile on Woking's face: "Oh, what's wrong, tell me."
