At the end of the old sewer passage, there was a ladder leading upwards, from which a strange incense scent and a consecrated aura emanated.
[Instruction: Enter the Bishop's hideout (warehouse 2nd floor). Do not use the ladder; instead, jump at a 72.5° angle, then climb using the crack in the left wall (coordinates 60.12, 95.80).]
Following the instructions, he twisted his body.
Thanks to the regeneration of the torn muscles in his right leg, his body exhibited superhuman athletic abilities.
Instead of using the ladder, he stepped on the damp, moldy wall and instantly reached the second floor of the warehouse.
It was a space filled with old wooden boxes and canvas cloths.
In the center was an altar, and the faint light of candles filled the space.
Behind the altar, a figure in a white robe was kneeling.
Lawrence of the Bloody Tears.
He was the bishop, the follower of the evil god who was orchestrating the corruption of this city.
When Jay landed, Lawrence, without turning his head, spoke in a low voice.
"So you've finally come this far, heretic."
Red liquid was flowing from the corners of his eyes.
[Warning: Target (Lawrence of the Bloody Tears) divine power rapidly increasing. Survival probability less than 0.002% in a direct confrontation.]
[Instruction: Engage in dialogue. (Gain time)]
Talk? Jay was bewildered.
His life for the past three years had been a series of inefficient battles following the system's instructions, but this was the first time he'd been instructed to talk with someone.
