Leonard Churchill didn’t follow the straight path from Thunderbolt Fortress to Beacon Tower number sixteen, he instead circled around it.

He quickly noticed that the number of Red-eyed Bats had noticeably decreased.

That is to say, on certain routes, there were more bats.

Leonard immediately arrived at a plausible conclusion: “Is someone inside the Thunderbolt Fortress leaking information to the Demons?”

An inside job plotline?

Leonard was not at all surprised.

Real wars are not simply about soldiers from two armies clashing, it also involves covert operations, spying, and internal conflicts.

He guessed that if he continued digging along this line, he might trigger a more difficult hidden plotline.

But for a moment, he couldn’t think of where to start.

Unwilling to think too much about it, he chose to head to the beacon tower.

About two hours later, Leonard successfully arrived at the previously marked Beacon Tower number sixteen on the map.

In the dense forest, Leonard looked at the stone building in the distance filled with magic runes.

Previously, when he was looking at the layout of the beacon towers on the map, he noticed that these sixteen towers seemed to be the cornerstones of a massive magic array.

It was said that once lit, it could dispel the Dark Power in Sawtooth Forest, preventing Demons from approaching the Fortress.

Clearly, the Demons also understood the importance of these beacon towers.

A small troop from the Demon Corps was stationed here.

But they seemed too afraid to get close to that pyramid-like rune covered beacon tower.

They lay outside, huddled up lazily in threes and fives, chattering away.

A large iron pot was on the fire, making bubbling sounds with unknown human or demon beast meat stew.

Leonard observed from the shadows for a moment, then counted: “One D-class Giant Demon, and less than a hundred other Demons.”

They’re killable!

The Demon Corps are more like a rabble than the hunters, with absolutely no military discipline to speak of.

Even the Giant Demon leader at this moment threw his club to the side and was fast asleep.

In Leonard’s eyes, these Demons were all contribution points.

The beacon tower wasn’t going anywhere, so he didn’t plan to light the fire first.

As soon as Shadow Stealth was activated, he blended into the darkness.

Leonard didn’t bother with the smaller Demons.

He went straight up to the snoring Giant Demon.

Until he was standing right beside the creature’s head, it still had no idea.

After killing one before, he knew how incredible these Demons’ defenses were.

With an open palm, a scalpel appeared in his hand.

Once he had the relic in his hand, Leonard didn’t hesitate to attack.

He stabbed the scalpel in without hesitation, plunging the entire handle into its head.

But the Giant Demon’s head was huge, with the scalpel completely inserted, it still only reached less than a third the diameter of the skull.

The attack wasn’t enough to take out the creature with a sneak attack.

It roared in pain, waking up abruptly.

Obviously, this guy wasn’t too smart.

It attempted to swat at the ‘mosquito’ that was irritating its eye, dealing itself a heavy slap.

With a “smack”, it struck its eye socket, causing the scalpel to penetrate deeper.

The Giant Demon roared in even more pain.

Leonard took this chance to withdraw rapidly.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Demons and smaller ones were just waking up, each grabbing their weapons and charging at him.

Now that he was on his own, Leonard had nothing to worry about.

His magic power flowed into his limbs, causing his body to swell and transform into his werewolf form!

Leonard’s werewolf form agility attribute completely overwhelmed the underlings, and he had a field day in the midst of the monsters.

‘Killed the ‘Little Demon’, Merit Points +1′

‘Killed the ‘Greater Demon’, Merit Points +9′

Enlightenment kept flashing.

Leonard Churchill tried it too, and his wolf claw effortlessly broke through the defense of the Giant Demon that was like a rhinoceros skin.

But the wound was too shallow, causing very little impact on this large beast.

He did not continue to waste his strength either.

As he continually reaped the small monsters, he was also moving around the Giant Demon.

This was because as long as he was close enough, he could control the flying knife with mental power.

Before, in the “Greedy Mining Well”, he killed an A-rank Catastrophe and for the first time used Mental Power to control the flying knife to kill monsters.

Then, as though suddenly comprehending the trick, he inexplicably mastered the technique of controlling the knife with telekinesis.

Although it was still limited by his Mental Power, the controllable distance of the flying knife was very limited.

But as long as he was close enough, this wasn’t a problem at all.

Within a meter, controlling the knife with telekinesis was like pinching a knife between two fingers.

The force was not strong enough, but it was enough to scramble brains.

The scalpel under the control of telekinesis was crazily drilling in the monster’s brain core.

The Giant Demon was in excruciating pain, swinging its stone club around wildly.

However, Leonard Churchill had been able to dodge the wolf tooth club even in his human form before, now in his werewolf form, it was even easier.

Not only did this monster not injure Leonard Churchill with its wild swings, it even killed quite a few of its own minions.

Leonard Churchill was also astonished to discover that there were some Contribution Points for these indirectly killed monsters.

Suddenly, it seemed like the scalpel had stabbed deep into the brain core. The Giant Demon was standing still as if struck by lightning, clearly having lost all signs of life.

With a “thud”, the body raised dust from the ground when it fell.

“Killed the D-class Catastrophe, the Giant Demon, Contribution points +100.”

Seeing their leader die, the minions scattered and disappeared into the forest.

Leonard Churchill didn’t bother about the minion monsters.

He took his scalpel out of the monster’s head, then adeptly cut off the third Demon’s Horn.

He collected the items and the corpse.

Only then did Leonard Churchill walk towards the Beacon Tower.

Stepping up the stairs engraved with countless runes, Leonard Churchill lit the oil basin at the top of the pyramid.

In an instant, the runes on the entire Beacon Tower lit up, and a blue magical glow diffused rapidly, vastly differing from the dark power surrounding it.

It was as if a lighthouse had lit up in the darkness, and a large portion of the nearby forest was illuminated by the blue light.

The monsters hidden in the forest appeared like mice seeing the light, scared and running away in all directions.

Blue light enveloped Leonard Churchill, and a halo state appeared on his panel: War Field, Magic recovery +10%, physical strength recovery +5%, morale +5%, Dark Resistance +5%.

At this time, Enlightenment also appeared: “You have completed the D-class mission, lit the Beacon Tower, Contribution points +800.”

Two hundred less because two people were still alive in his team before.

But it was not bad, it doubled all at once.

Looking at his Contribution Points soaring to “1533”, Leonard Churchill suddenly felt that the rewards exchanged for hundreds of thousands of Contribution Points were not that unreachable.

Lighting a Beacon Tower received a thousand points.

Wouldn’t sixteen of them amount to sixteen thousand?

Leonard Churchill seemed to see the high-grade materials listed in the Military Supplies Catalog waving at him.

Considering his strength now, apart from the team of the Lionheart Family, other teams were hardly likely to be able to light the Beacon Tower.

Clearly, he could light up a few more.

Having had this thought, Leonard Churchill instantly made up his mind: “The Beacon Towers are only tens of kilometers apart… I can totally do it!”

Thinking of that, he no longer cared about fighting the demons. He wanted to accumulate Contribution Points by lighting the Beacon Towers.

And if the Beacon Towers were guarded by a monster corps, it would be possible to take the opportunity to harvest additional Contribution Points and Demon’s Horns.

Now it’s the D-level difficulty, there shouldn’t appear any particularly difficult Catastrophe theoretically.

He quickly recalled the nearest Beacon Tower.

Leonard Churchill figured out the direction, put on his cloak, and disappeared into the darkness again..
