Indeed, it’s different from last time, not forcing oneself to kill all the Oath Takers to complete the mission.
The scene shifted, and the ruins, along with the three of them, quickly vanished from sight, Fu Qian mused in his heart.

Hope these few can escape to safety!
This place called Angel Dungeon will likely collapse at an extremely rapid pace, completely disappearing into that blood-soaked marsh.
But given the strength of at least two of the non-humans, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
However, it’s not certain since all of them are clearly in a worrying state.
One nearly out of control, one mentally fragmented, and one with the intelligence of an unborn child.
The trio couldn’t make up a single normal person, so it wouldn’t be strange for any problems to arise in their communication.
[Mission Evaluation: Extinguish Oath Gunman]
[It is said that in the purest eyes of an angel, one can see the corruption accumulated on each person.
And only by purifying them can the latter obtain salvation.
Regrettably, for the most part, the angels’ way of purification is physical destruction.
This is not important to the angels; they believe the latter have received salvation.
The sad and anxious Lorin found an ancient relic amid the bloodbath.
She should have been more cautious, but her negative emotions rendered her less so.
And the oddities of the Supernatural World have no mercy on anyone.]
[Kills: Azim, Winged Insect*2]
[Reward: SAN Points +25; Inspiration +5]
[Special Reward: Mercy]
[Current SAN Points: 219, Current Inspiration: 91]
[Would you like to play the event recap?]
It was indeed her!
After listening to the mission summary, Fu Qian’s previous deductions were undoubtedly confirmed.
Compared with others, this Ms. Lorin seems to be the most innocent one, yet her fate is the most tragic.
If it weren’t for my interference, she might still be wandering down there for a long time.
Then there’s Ailina, who’s also in a precarious state, even Cross as well.
The Angel Dungeon seems to help him stabilize his condition and suppress his loss of control.
If a group of people really manage to escape to safety, Ailina, who has become an angel, is highly likely to act as a mobile lighthouse.
As long as Cross stays around her, he can maintain normalcy.
This combination is starting to resemble the Saintess and her hammer more and more.
Now, their fortune or misfortune is up to them.
Speaking of which, the wasteland seems to have many such Oath-bound objects.
Sinners, angels; so far, I’ve encountered two of them.
And then there are the piles of ancient ruins.
As the most famous Forbidden Area, this place really isn’t simple, it would be worth taking a look if there’s a chance.
Fu Qian made up his mind quietly.
The only problem is that the risk is a bit high; all these messy beliefs sound grand but in reality, they are very wicked.
And from the summation of previous missions, I have confirmed that this is indeed a deviant path, making it all the more unnecessary to touch.
But the key problem is the unpredictable ways Oath Takers are established, making it impossible to avoid, especially this time with the angel belief.
That must be why the mission didn’t set a requirement to kill all the existing angels.
Because even they probably have no clear idea how the Oaths are established.
With the collapse of the Angel Dungeon, it’s unlikely that it will be replicated afterward.
In the midst of reviewing, Fu Qian found his special reward; the next moment his hand became heavier.
[Name: Mercy]
[Type: Weapon]
[Introduction: A specially made revolver, exquisite and deadly, the very existence of it is the best interpretation of the concept of mercy]
[Effect One: Suffocate, the fall of the sinners is certain amidst utter silence.
Once activated, your next bullet will enter a concealed state, significantly reducing its chances of being detected]
[Effect Two: Graceful Release, all hidden transgressions are laid bare before our eyes, and we mercifully grant release.
Any target hit by Mercy has a chance that your subsequent attacks will be effective threefold]
[Note: We condemn, we purify, we transcend]
A weapon? This reward really is a rare find for me.
But this introduction, no matter how I read it, seems somewhat ironic.
Muttering complaints, Fu Qian lowered his head to examine his newly acquired second weapon, if the Tyrant’s Fist counted as one.
Elegance!
It was the first time Fu Qian had used this word to describe a gun.
Delicate and sleek, most of the gun barrel was made of an unknown silver-white metal, intricately etched with complex patterns.
While the patterns didn’t depict anything specific, they evoked a sense of sanctity to anyone who laid eyes on them.
At a glance, this piece felt more suitable to be hung in a study than to be wielded in combat—it would be an utter waste.
Yet contrary to its appearance, the effects of this gun could only be described as potent and shameless.
Let’s not even talk about Effect One, Suffocate. Considering it’s a ranged weapon, it couldn’t be more perfect for a sneak attack.
I could even use Air Bullets as a cover to further minimize the risk of detection.
Fu Qian instantly thought of even more shameless application techniques.
And then there was Effect Two, Graceful Release, a certain chance for attacks to be effective three times, and it refers to the subsequent attacks with no limitations to this particular gun itself.
If it’s not a description issue… Even with just a probability of taking effect, it’s ferociously upsetting.
Fu Qian effortlessly envisioned a scenario of someone scooping out three organs with a single swipe.
I was slightly regretful earlier that I couldn’t take the revolver I got used to during the mission back with me, only to be directly rewarded with an even more brutal one.
It truly wasn’t a wasted trip.
Of course, it’s genuinely cool, but I definitely can’t take it home.
The last bell already made Young Master Qin and the others suspect that I had switched to becoming a fortune-teller, they would still be able to tell the authenticity of this. It might scare them to death if they found out.
The world of a bookstore owner is just more accommodating. Everyone has seen all kinds of odd and bizarre things.
Moreover…
Fu Qian thought of something, spun the gun in his hand, and cocked the Turning Wheel to the side.
Sure enough, not a single bullet inside.
It looks like I’ll have to figure out how to get some ammunition once I get back.
But that’s not really an issue. Although strictly regulated, with my relationship with Yuan Shan, this little matter is nothing.
I might not even need her, Miss Wen Li can probably find a bunch quickly.
With that in mind, Fu Qian tucked the gun into his clothes and put on the Emissary’s Mask.
…
[Mr. Fang, I will be temporarily leaving Shangjing due to family matters. If there’s anything that requires my assistance, you can leave a message with the butler here, and I will try to provide help as soon as possible]
What surprised Fu Qian was that just as he came down from the second floor of the bookstore, he found a letter on the ground.
As expected, it was a note left by Wen Li.
The lady seems to have left in quite a hurry. Could it be that her old father has some urgent business?
Fu Qian wondered as he read the letter.
In any case, a Fifth Phase Transcendent returning home pretty much looks like the scenario where the three-year period has ended, and the Dragon King has returned.
Best wishes to Miss Wen in her military success.
