The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

The audience had barely come to their senses, unsure of what An Su was about to do— Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire

The next second, sharp, cold and gleaming ground spikes burst from the earth, piercing straight through the footpads of all the Toe Worms.

They were impaled so violently that they jumped three feet into the air, blood gushing freely from their wounds, their toes twisting in pain, convulsing continuously.

[Saintess's Massage Mat]

[Rank: Common Second Tier]

[Effect: Cultivated from the Thorn Demon Species with the blood of the Saintess, extensively warped by Radiant Light; its body is equipped with holy spikes, possessing the amazing ability to activate blood flow, disperse clotting, and clear meridians]

This is a hellish massage parlor!

More like a killing floor!

And for Stitched Life, it's a killing floor smeared with chili water!

Is this what the Dawn Saintess normally uses for her massages...?

Druids looking at those spikes as thick as bowls, shimmering with cold light, felt that An Su's naming showed no respect to the Dawn Saintess at all—although the Dawn Saintess herself had no objection.

The Toe Worms tried to attack the massage mats, but these things were rooted deep underground, bristling with spikes. The harder they attacked, the more painful the stings they received, and even if they used ring magic to blast away the spikes, as long as the main body was undamaged, the spikes would regrow in seconds.

All the Toe Worms were being pierced by the massage mat until they bled profusely. Normally, if they were stabbed by ground spikes, they would just run away, but rows of Saintess Fruits stood in their way, blocking the breach in the Magic Barrier. The worms wanted to advance, but they had to stay and eat all the Saintess Fruits...

But the more they ate, the weaker their bodies became, the greater the damage from the foot massage mat, and the longer they suffered.

Thankfully, Merlin hadn't given them pairs of eyes, otherwise, these monsters would have all cried out—They had transgressed the natural order and were now enduring such cruel torture at birth. Always used to bullying and tormenting others, they never expected to be completely tortured themselves!

Unable to defy the commands of the Life Esoteric Church, they could only swallow their broken teeth and grit their teeth to consume all the Saintess Fruits in front of them. Once they finished, they could be free... At this moment, freedom was their only hope, their only dawn, never give up, never abandon...

All in!

The leading Toe Monster let out a cry for life.

No matter how much blood spilled, no matter how many tears, for the mission, for the great revival of life, to defeat the evil Radiant Holy See, for everyone in the Esoteric Sect, even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they would resist to the end!

Even an ugly Toe Monster has its own dawn!

Watching the Toe Monsters fall one after another in their relentless assault, covered in bloody wounds yet never giving up, with comrades stepping over the corpses of the fallen to advance, even the onlooking citizens of Farol couldn't help but be moved by the spirit of the Toe Monsters,

Some of the younger folks even stood up, waving flags and cheering,

"Go for it! Attack! Stitched Life!"

"Don't give up! Toe Monster!"

"Down with the wicked An Su!"

They had their eyes dazzled by An Su just recently, but now united by common enmity, their slogans became louder and louder, their voices more impassioned; the synchronized cheers even reached outside the venue, causing curious passersby to inquire about the Saint with the Crown Title 'Proud and Unyielding,' wondering which Church's promising youth was so revered...

"You are our last hope!"

Finally, through the relentless efforts of the Toe Monsters and the audience, a large hole had been gnawed into the two rings of Saintess Fruits. Just a few more bites, and they could burrow through.

Just as victory seemed within reach, An Su smiled again from afar, his third batch of Demon Seeds having also been radiated to completion.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the Dawn Giant took the Demon Seed and, as if playing hoopla, began to encircle the Saintess Fruits—

Come forth, Saintess Pumpkin Head!
