Chapter 144: The Girl Got the MVP

Su Nian seized the moment and threw the Magic Potion at the bastard Demon Horn.

“Keep it up!” she shouted.

Chu Tian was locked in a fierce battle with the Terrifying Knight.

Hearing Su Nian’s voice, he instinctively glanced back.

He saw the potion flying toward him and felt a stir in his heart.

Su Nian actually still cared about him?

Could it be that she really liked him?

A strange emotion flickered through Chu Tian’s mind.

But now was not the time to think about this.

He caught the potion in one hand and tilted his head back to drink it.

Even if it was poison… he still downed it!

The moment the potion touched his lips, a wave of coolness spread instantly throughout his body.

He could feel his magic rapidly recovering.

“Little wildcat, looks like you do care about your master after all,” Chu Tian said.

A rare gentleness tinged his voice.

“Hmph, don’t flatter yourself!”  Su Nian snorted coldly and turned her head away.

‘I just don’t want you to die too quickly, otherwise I’ll get hacked down by the Terrifying Knight.’

“I care about you my ass!” Su Nian snapped back with no patience, her sky-blue eyes glaring fiercely at Chu Tian.

She couldn’t be bothered with this perverted narcissist’s nonsense.

If it weren’t for the upcoming plan, she wouldn’t have wasted the Magic Potion on this bastard.

Anyway, he was going to die soon.

Might as well put this to good use and send him off early…

Su Nian thought viciously in her heart, but the corner of her mouth involuntarily curved into a proud smile.

She could already see that arrogant bastard Demon Horn, trampled beneath her feet in utter disgrace.

Chu Tian had no idea what Su Nian was scheming in her mind.

At this moment, he was immersed in a complicated mixture of emotions.

There was the touched feeling from Su Nian “caring” about him, the anticipation of the coming victory, and of course, above all, the excitement toward this tough opponent.

Yes, excitement.

Since coming to this world, aside from Su Nian, he had never faced such a powerful foe.

This Terrifying Knight was like a grindstone made just for him.

It allowed him to fully enjoy the thrill of battle and gain deeper insights.

The Terrifying Knight’s physical strength and instinctive combat experience were formidable, but its soul was extremely weak, almost like a fragile thread.

It was completely controlled by the hidden Necromancer.

However, Chu Tian had no intention of ending it quickly.

He wanted to make full use of this opportunity to hone his combat skills and improve his strength.

After all, he still had the Bell of Requiem up his sleeve.

As long as he wished, he could suppress the Terrifying Knight’s soul anytime and end the fight.

As for the potion Su Nian had thrown him…

Chu Tian knew exactly what it was.

He recognized it immediately as a potion that temporarily boosts magic recovery speed.

With his current power, he wouldn’t lose even without the potion.

But since it came from Su Nian, it was a different matter.

So he drank it without hesitation.

The rapid surge of magic recovery made him feel refreshed.

He moved his body, feeling the power surging inside him, a confident smile creeping onto his lips.

“Again!”

Chu Tian shouted loudly and charged at the Terrifying Knight.

He brandished his longsword and engaged in an even fiercer fight.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The clash of metal rang continuously throughout the church, deafening and thunderous.

Sparks flew, illuminating their grimacing faces.

Chu Tian fought more courageously with each passing moment; his swordsmanship became more ruthless, his speed faster, and his strength greater.

With every strike, he grew stronger through battle experience while consuming his Annoyance Value to power up!

“Ding dong, consumed Annoyance Value, purchased S-Class Combat Movement.”

Though the Terrifying Knight possessed immense strength, after getting used to its opponent’s fighting style, combined with Thunder Magic to increase speed and the boost from S-Class Combat Movement, even the Terrifying Knight’s terrifying speed was slightly outpaced by him.

Another sword strike was unleashed.

A blow powered by sheer physical strength, slicing out pure sword energy wrapped with gusts and overwhelming momentum.

But such a fierce attack was easily dodged by Chu Tian.

Without looking back, he heard the explosion of sword energy breaking through the church’s outer wall.

“That’s about enough…”

Chu Tian calculated silently.

He had already mastered how to deal with such a physically powerful creature—it was time to end this battle.

Before eliminating the Terrifying Knight, he had to deal with the Necromancer hiding in the shadows.

Otherwise, even if he killed the Terrifying Knight, the Necromancer could summon more undead creatures again.

As for the Terrifying Knight itself…

Perhaps he could use the Bell of Requiem and Soul Prism to take it under his control?

He could sense that the Terrifying Knight, treated like a puppet by the Necromancer, had no true “loyalty” to its master—only blind manipulation.

Chu Tian fought while scanning the surroundings, searching for the magical energy controlling the Terrifying Knight.

His gaze swept rapidly across the church, seeking the Necromancer’s trace while dodging the Knight’s attacks.

Soon, he found a weakness.

During a change in moves, he sensed a faint ripple of magic!

The Necromancer was hiding behind the Divine Statue, among a pile of coffins.

He concealed himself among many ordinary undead creatures, secretly controlling the Terrifying Knight.

If it weren’t for his heightened perception after demon transformation, he probably wouldn’t have found him.

“Found you!”

A cold smile tugged at Chu Tian’s lips.

He had already formulated a plan.

Next, he just needed to seize the right moment to strike the Necromancer with a surprise attack.

With his strength, he was confident of a one-hit kill!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tian concentrated the power of Thunder Magic and Dark Magic onto his longsword.

He intended to use his strongest strike to send the Terrifying Knight flying, then rush to the Divine Statue and finish off the Necromancer.

“Haah!”

Chu Tian shouted and swung his sword fiercely.

This slash carried the force of thunder, with an unstoppable momentum, cutting toward the Terrifying Knight.

“Clang!”

The Terrifying Knight raised its greatsword to block.

Two mighty forces collided, producing a deafening roar.

The Terrifying Knight could no longer withstand the blow and was blasted away by the impact.

“Boom!”

The Terrifying Knight crashed heavily into the Divine Statue, causing a loud crash.

The statue collapsed instantly, stones flying and dust billowing.

At the same time, Chu Tian’s body was propelled by the recoil toward the Necromancer’s hiding place—this was his plan before the strike.

Using the Terrifying Knight’s attack as acceleration, he would close the distance and kill the Necromancer before he could react!

“Now’s the time.”

A glint flashed in Chu Tian’s eyes as he flickered toward the Divine Statue.

He was determined to finish off the Necromancer.

However, just as Chu Tian was about to reach the statue,

A dazzling white light suddenly flared up from behind him.

“Holy Light Punishment!”

A clear, familiar voice rang out, carrying the girl’s unmistakable authority.

Chu Tian was momentarily stunned.

‘What was Su Nian doing? Was her target… the hidden Necromancer?’

He hadn’t expected her to possess such power.

This light-type energy had reached Holy-level!

Light Magic… was indeed a great counter to Necromancers.

It seemed the final blow and MVP title would have to go to Su Nian this time…

Various thoughts flashed quickly through Chu Tian’s mind.

He made a decision: to play dead first—he wanted to see what his “little wildcat” was planning next.
