The Era of Tower Defense: I Have Super Enhancement Novel - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Offered Another Sacrifice

After Arya showed off her new ability, Thomas knew what to do.

He brought Arya and Emma out of the camp.

After seeing Arya resurrected, the Elven Archers were also very happy, and they all sent their blessings to Arya.

Thomas clapped his hands and said to everyone, “Alright, now is not the time to celebrate. The dark creatures may come at any time. We need to be ready to deal with the new dark creatures at any time.”

“O’Neill, you are in charge of collecting magic cores. You must clean up all the magic cores and tidy them up. Don’t miss a single one.”

“Yes, Sir Thomas. I will definitely bring back all the magic cores.” O’Neill patted his chest and promised.

“Arya, you and I will go and destroy the carriage outside the camp.”

Thomas still remembered that there was a carriage of the Skeleton Prince parked outside the camp.

“Yes, Sir Thomas,” Arya replied immediately.

“Arnold, you are in charge of patrolling the city to see if there is anything that needs help. Help to remove all the dark aura.”

“Your will is my command,” Arnold bowed and replied.

“What about me?” Emma asked from the side.

“You go to the lighthouse and monitor the situation around. If you find anything wrong, report immediately,” Thomas said.

“Yes, Sir Thomas.” Emma ran to the lighthouse.

After arranging everyone, Thomas led everyone to the carriage outside the camp.

At this time, the Skeleton Prince’s carriage was still parked there, and the two Skeleton Warhorses were standing in place anxiously.

Thomas opened the wooden door of the carriage and was surprised to find that the interior was decorated very luxuriously.

Gold and silver were inlaid, and various silks decorated the carriage. It was extremely luxurious.

In the corner of the carriage, Thomas even saw a royal insignia.

Thomas guessed that this might be a royal carriage, and subsequently, it was obtained by the Skeleton Prince.

However, since it had fallen into Thomas’ hands, it belonged to Thomas.

Thomas brought Arya and drove the carriage back to the camp.

As for the two Skeleton Warhorses, they were killed after losing their value.

Thomas had not thought about how to deal with the royal carriage, so it was temporarily parked in the empty space.

He walked to the front of the Holy Light Cage that held the Crystal Skeleton.

He was still very interested in this Crystal Skeleton.

Whether it was from the aura on its body or from the words of Skeleton Mage Anthony, it seemed that it came from that legendary place — Hell.

While Thomas was studying in the main city, he only learned about dark creatures. His knowledge of Hell was only limited to religious books and fairy tales.

Now, it seemed that this place really existed.

Thomas really wanted to know the true information of this place.

And the Crystal Skeleton was a good candidate.

Thomas looked at the Crystal Skeleton in the Holy Light Cage.

When the Crystal Skeleton saw Thomas, it immediately rushed to the edge of the cage and roared at Thomas.

“You have quite a temper.” Thomas said as he took out the silver scepter and shot a Chain Lightning at the Crystal Skeleton.

Crack!

The Chain Lightning created a small crack on the Crystal Skeleton’s bones.

The Crystal Skeleton became even angrier. It opened its big mouth at Thomas, as if it wanted to eat Thomas.

However, just as it slammed into the railing of the Holy Light Cage, it was scorched by the holy light. It howled and retreated.

“You have quite a temper.” Thomas saw this and pulled out the Holy Light Longsword. He stabbed at the Crystal Skeleton.

Slash!

The Holy Light Longsword pierced a hole in the skull of the Crystal Skeleton.

The Crystal Skeleton howled in pain and spun around like it had gone mad.

Seeing the Crystal Skeleton like this, Thomas tried to communicate with it.

“Can you understand what I’m saying? If you can, we can talk. If you refuse, I’ll use this sword to kill you,” Thomas said as he waved the long sword in his hand.

However, the Crystal Skeleton still spun around crazily and refused to communicate with Thomas.

“This is going to be difficult.” Seeing this situation, Thomas frowned.

Originally, he wanted to obtain some information about Hell from the Crystal Skeleton.

However, since the other party couldn’t understand, there was nothing he could do.

If he couldn’t communicate, how was he going to obtain information?

“Should I just kill it? It seems to be a waste.”

In order to capture the Crystal Skeleton, Thomas had wasted a lot of energy. It was a pity to kill it just like that.

However, if he didn’t kill it, how should he deal with it?

Thomas was in a dilemma.

Suddenly, his gaze landed on the altar in the corner of the camp.

Thomas immediately slapped his thigh.

Since he couldn’t deal with it, he might as well give it to the Goddess of Life as a trophy.

He believed that the Goddess of Life would definitely be very interested in this guy from Hell.

Moreover, whatever the Goddess casually put on the altar was much better than simply killing it for the magic core.

Having made up his mind, Thomas pushed the Holy Light Cage that contained the Crystal Skeleton onto the altar.

Then, he put the egg that the Dark Knight had exploded into on the altar.

He had not figured out the use of this thing, so he decided to give it to the Goddess of Life.

“Dear Goddess of Life, your loyal followers offer you a sacrifice. Together with the sacrifice, there is the glory of victory. May your glory forever shine on the earth.”

Hum–

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the light and shadow of the Goddess of Life appeared on the altar.

“It’s you again, little guy. I was very satisfied with the last sacrifice. What did you offer this time?” The Goddess of Life saw that it was Thomas, and a good impression rose in her heart.

The sacrifice last time made her very satisfied.

“Great Goddess of life, I once again repelled the invasion of the dark creatures and killed a Prince of the Skeleton race. I am willing to offer the glory of this great victory to you. In addition, these dark creatures summoned a monster from Hell. I captured it as a sacrifice to you first. And this strange egg was obtained from a level 5 Dark Knight. I hope you will like it,” Thomas said respectfully.

“Oh, a creature from Hell?” The Goddess of Life’s interest was piqued. She flicked her finger, and the Holy Light Cage flew into the air.

When the Crystal Skeleton saw the Goddess of Life, it was as if it had seen its natural enemy. It huddled in a corner and shivered.

“There’s a smell of sulfur. As expected, it’s a reptile from Hell.” The Goddess of Life chuckled.

“I’m very satisfied with your gift. I think your scepter is a little too weak. How about this? I’ll help you strengthen it.”

The Goddess of Life pointed with her finger.

The silver scepter in Thomas’s hand instantly turned golden.

It was also emitting a five-colored light.

“I’ve increased its power. Ordinary level 6 dark creatures can be killed,” the Goddess of Life said.

“Thank you for your grace, Goddess.” Thomas was overjoyed. He had always felt that the power of the silver scepter was too weak. It was fine if he encountered an ordinary dark creature, but it would be useless if he encountered a high-level dark creature.

Now that he had increased his attack power, he would be able to kill the Skeleton Prince, Skeleton Mage, and the Dark Knight in the future without Arnold’s help.

“As for this egg,” the Goddess of Life pointed at the eggshell.

“This was originally a tool for the resurrection of the Dark Knight, but I’ve modified it. Let it help you guard the door.”

As the Goddess of Life spoke, the color of the eggshell changed from black to gold.
