Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Setis was a little confused.

From the beginning, Setis chased the "two-faced puppet" to the Alchemy Institute. After suspecting that the theft of the sacred object of his lord, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", was related to the Alchemy Institute, Setis chose to retreat.

Setis also suspected that this might be a trap. The "two-faced puppet" might just be a hook to attract him, but compared to blindly looking for a needle in a haystack, this is indeed the only clue.

Setis originally thought that it didn't matter even if it was a trap. Because as the "Shadow of Killing", even if he was really surrounded and intercepted because of exposing his whereabouts, he would have a way to evacuate easily and calmly.

As one of the highest combat forces of "Blood of Thorns" in Sina City and a transcendent with the fourth destiny of [Red Lotus], "Shadow of Killing" Setis has sufficient confidence in his own strength.

...It should have been like this.

But what Setis didn't expect was that he had only kidnapped two scholars of the [Intellectual] Destiny who were not even "superhumans", but he would actually attract the attention of the "Great Universalist"!

The reaction of the [Intellectual] Alchemy Institute was too intense, which was beyond Setis's expectations.

According to Setis's original prediction, the "Alchemy Institute" would at most send a "senior warlock" of the [Intellectual] Triple Destiny. If it was just to rescue the two scholars, this combat power would already be the top configuration.

As a result, the "Great Universalist" of the Alchemy Institute actually went out in person. Why?

Setis could only think of one answer in his mind.

——"Two-faced puppet"!

This group of warlocks of the Alchemy Institute must not know the correct way to use the "two-faced puppet", so the "Great Universalist" would go out in person to get the correct way to use the "two-faced puppet" from the "hooked" people!

The more Setis thought about it, the more right it was, and he became more and more certain of his guess.

"How could they know that the two-faced puppet is a divine object used to resist the backlash of flesh and blood..."

While speculating, "Shadow of Slaughter" Setis has completed the pre-sacrifice of the skill [Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood·Slaughter of Living Corpses].

In the deepest part of the stronghold, in front of Setis, there are two "blood disciples" who have just died. They were cut by Setis neatly, and blood flowed out of the wounds and gathered into the small jar in front of Setis.

Sacrificing the souls and blood of extraordinary people with "double fate" or above, obtaining "resonance" with the corpses in the entire stronghold, using the flesh and blood of the corpses as containers, and infusing the gray haze spirituality of "Shadow of Slaughter", dozens of killing corpses with terrifying combat power can be created in an instant!

This is why Setis was not in a hurry to retreat even though he knew that the Alchemy Academy had dispatched the "Great Generalist".

In a sense, the death of "The Destroyer" Voit, as well as those "Blood Followers" and "Blood Slaves" is insignificant in the eyes of Setis.

Even if they die, their corpses and flesh can be used by "Shadow of Slaughter" Setis. This is the cruel truth inside "Blood of Thorns".

Unless the "Brand of Thorns" of these "Blood of Thorns" cultists who have been engraved with the "Brand of Thorns" break by themselves like Intis, they will always be slaves who can be killed or taken at will.

…

——Sizzle! Snap!

"Great Alchemist" Rockland summoned the "Mad +" level puppet, the Star Shattering Ring!

Luo Xiu looked up and saw that just above the fortress where the "Forge of City Puppet" unfolded, a huge metal ring-shaped puppet was floating up and down in the air.

The "Mad +" level puppet - "Star Shattering Ring", its surface flickered red like a flame, Luo Xiu could clearly feel the surrounding temperature gradually rising; its inner and outer ring surfaces had countless sharp spikes, and the spikes were emitting dazzling sparks like electric welding.

Luo Xiu was shocked, he knew the reputation of "Star Shattering Ring" in his previous life.

Almost at the same time when "Star Shattering Ring" was summoned, Luo Xiu raised his hands and plugged his ears with his fingers.

——Sizzle! Boom!!!

The spikes of "Star Shattering Ring" quickly turned red, and the terrifying energy gathered to the center of the ring through the sparks emitted by the spikes. The high-density annihilation energy group expanded rapidly and exploded when the energy reached its peak!

Everyone only felt that their vision became pale, and the huge sound exceeded the hearing limit of most people, causing them to fall into a brief tinnitus. The ground began to shake violently, and the blood mist and haze in the air were all wiped out by this attack that seemed to purify the world.

One after another, the "Slaughter Corpses" were annihilated into ashes by the Star Shattering Ring. Except for Luo Xiu and the alchemists who were protected by the "Casting City" and "Solid Shield", all the objects in this space that were not hard enough were blasted into dust.

Rockland's face was tense. The annihilation attack of the "Star Shattering Ring" could only be launched once.

After that, the "Star Shattering Ring" would fall into a "broken" state and it would take a week to recover its function.

This was Rockland's life-saving trump card.

In order to prevent the annihilation attack of the "Star Shattering Ring" from accidentally injuring the scholars abducted by the enemy, Rockland deliberately waited for all the "Slaughter Corpses" in his sight to enter the attack range and controlled the attack range of the "Star Shattering Ring".

Rockland waited for the light and smoke to dissipate due to the annihilation attack of the "Star Shattering Ring".

...

After a short wait.

The dust settled, and in Luo Xiu's field of vision, there was no trace of any enemy.

Lockland opened his senses, but he did not detect any spiritual fluctuations from the [Red Lotus] heretics.

All the "Slaughter Corpses" had been completely annihilated by the Star Shattering Ring, and the corpses of the "Red Lotus" heretics on the ground were also blasted to pieces by this annihilation.

Luo Xiu was temporarily relieved. Although he knew that the "Shadow of Slaughter" would not be killed by this annihilation, at least for the time being, there was no possibility of giving birth to a new "Slaughter Corpse" with the corpse.

Lockland then lifted the defensive form of the "Forge City" and "Solid Shield" puppets, and led the alchemists to the depths.

The middle was cleared by the "Star Shattering Ring", and no enemies survived, but a dazzling light suddenly poured into the side of the wall. Luo Xiu looked at the light source and saw a huge hole in the wall.

"Shadow of Slaughter" and some surviving "Blood Disciples" should have chosen to break through the wall and escape when they sensed the terrifying fluctuations emitted by the "Star Shattering Ring"...

Luo Xiu thought secretly, but he didn't care about these things now.

He mixed in the team of the Alchemists, constantly going deeper into the base, looking for the room where the two scholars might be imprisoned.

At this time, the judgment time of [Promotion Mission: Praise of the End of Disaster] has passed, and Luo Xiu is ready to complete the mission at any time and truly be promoted to a transcendent of "Triple Destiny".

While following the Alchemists to search the rooms one by one, Luo Xiu was secretly thinking about something else.

This time, following the "Generalist" Rocklan to wipe out the pagan base can be said to be the most chaotic battle for Luo Xiu since he crossed over.

He didn't make any moves at all, and the output of "Generalist" Rocklan should have reached more than 90% of the entire battle. Luo Xiu relied on his face and followed Rocklan to enjoy the good life.

By the way, Luo Xiu also got a lot of assist experience points for free. Although it was only 20% of the basic experience and there was no cross-level reward, the experience points obtained by killing a large number of enemies were quite generous.

"..." Luo Xiu suddenly realized something in a trance, and he suddenly understood the benefits of following the right thigh.

Just as Luo Xiu was savoring the joy of slacking off.

"Found it!" A warlock from the Alchemy Academy shouted in front, and Luo Xiu looked in the direction of the voice.

In front, several warlocks were surrounding a huge birdcage.

In the birdcage, two "scholars" were covered with black cloth and shivering.

They had some scratches on their bodies, but no serious wounds. Except for being frightened, there was nothing serious.

Before "Shadow of Killing" was about to torture them, he was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the Alchemy Academy, and finally "Shadow of Killing" fled in a hurry and had no time to care about the two scholars.

Luo Xiu secretly thought that from this incident, the "Alchemy Institute" and "Blood of Thorns" had a conflict.

"Shadow of Killing" Setis would be more certain that the "Two-Faced Doll" was in the hands of the Alchemy Institute, and the Alchemy Institute would officially become enemies with "Blood of Thorns" because of this incident.

For the Alchemy Institute, although there were no casualties, this intention threatened the terrorist forces of the "Square Monument". Even if the Alchemy Institute was almost focused on research, it did not mean that they would allow such terrorist actions to happen.

And "Generalist" Rockland himself would be certain that the incomplete pages of "Said's Notes" were in the hands of the cultists of "Blood of Thorns", and Rockland would never give up easily.

After that, "Shadow of Killing" would definitely cause trouble for the Alchemy Institute, and Luo Xiu no longer needed to do anything to guide it.

...

While thinking, the Alchemists in front had already rescued the two scholars from the cage.

The two scholars were greatly frightened. Even if they saw their former colleagues, they could not quickly get rid of their fear.

Several warlocks then supported the scholars and walked out of the base.

Lockland searched the base and did not find anything related to the fragments of "Said's Notes". He was a little disappointed, but he quickly hid his disappointment.

"We have rescued our colleagues." Lockland walked in front of the gathered warlocks and said, "Let's go, let's leave this place of trouble."

...

Lockland, Luo Xiu and other alchemists, with the rescued scholars, left the base of "Blood of Thorns".

The group went directly back to the square monument of the alchemy institute, and the warlocks comforted the two frightened scholars, while Luo Xiu followed Lockland to "The Real Knowledge".

In the room of "Generalist" Lockland, Lockland sat in the main seat, and Luo Xiu sat opposite him.

This time, it was Lockland who took the initiative to invite Luo Xiu to "visit" his research room.

"... Luo Xiu." Rockland sighed, "This is really a farce."

"Yes." Rockland agreed, "The cultists of [Red Lotus], they are indeed... unpredictable."

The two chatted for a while, and Rockland didn't care about Luo Xiu who was slacking off in the battle. It was normal for this "generalist" to be unable to help as Luo Xiu was only a second-level priest of destiny.

Before they entered the base, Rockland had already given everyone a "holy blessing". In Rockland's opinion, this was all the help that Rockland could provide.

But what Lockland didn't know was that Luo Xiu could avoid revealing his identity as a priest in front of the "Blood of Thorns" by not using the Holy Technique of [Glory] in battle. This was the real source of trouble. .

"... Luo Xiu."

Lockland frowned and suddenly asked the priest opposite, "You are the Holy Judge of the church. You should be more familiar with some secret organizations of heretics than I am. You know, in the territory of 'Sina City' Here, who are the pagans who follow [Red Lotus]?"

This time, Rockland did not unfold the "spiritual network". This was not a temptation, but a sincere request from Rockland.

Luo Xiu then showed a thoughtful expression. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "Lord Lockland, if you are asking about the several [Red Lotus] secret organizations with greater influence, I can probably think of four. indivual."

"The most powerful one in Sina City should be the [Beast Ancestors Association], but... you know, they are an organization of that nature, which is completely different from what we saw this time when we went deep into the stronghold;"

"The second is the [Torch Party]. They are a group of extremist pagans who are accustomed to causing large-scale terrorist attacks. Most of the believers of the [Torch Party] hold cursed torches as weapons, and they are our key targets for judgment;"

"Again, it's the [Blood of Thorns]. They are the true believers of the 'Destruction Seat' and master many blood secrets and evil rituals of flesh and blood sacrifice;"

"Finally, there are the [Nirvana Exalted Ones]. They are the most low-key [Red Lotus] believers. They are all focused on studying how to 'die' and then be 'reborn'. They have not done anything particularly big, so the 'Holy Judgment' People generally don’t go out of their way to trouble them.”

"What I know is that these are the main secret organizations that follow [Red Lotus] in Sina City." Luo Xiu spread his hands, "Other organizations are either too small or have not made any extraordinary moves. , It’s not yet to the point where the ‘Holy Judge’ needs to be dispatched.”

"..."

After listening to Luo Xiu's narration, Lockland put his hands on his forehead and fell into deep thought.

"Blood of Thorns... Nirvana Exalted One..." Lockland murmured. In his opinion, these two hidden organizations were the biggest suspects.

"Then, Lord Lockland." Luo Xiu stood up at the right time, nodded to Lockland and said, "I have disturbed you too much, it's time for me to leave."

Luo Xiu has already completed all the guidance that needs to be done. After that, he only needs to wait for the seeds to sprout and grow abundant fruits.

Lockland was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said:

"Well, goodbye, Luo Xiu Carlos. This time, on behalf of the Alchemy Institute, I would like to thank you for your assistance, and I will also find time to report to your Holy Court Church that you helped us clear out this stronghold. "

"Sorry to trouble you, Lord Lockland." Luo Xiu responded politely, and then gently left Lockland's research room.

…

Sina City, slum.

In the "Blood of Thorns" stronghold.

Under a thick gray mist, there was the sound of some heavy breathing.

"Shadow of Murder" Thetis, when "The Enlightenment" Lockland summoned the ring golem that exuded terrifying fluctuations, he immediately chose to retreat.

Sethis made a prompt decision, blasted through the wall on one side, and took the opportunity to escape with half of the "blood disciples".

The other half of the "blood disciples" who couldn't react in time were blown away by the annihilation blow of the broken star ring, leaving nothing behind.

But Sethis didn't care about the life and death of those blood disciples who were just "second lives".

For the "Blood of Thorns", their method of cultivating extraordinary beings is not as step-by-step as other fates or organizations. They only need to find ordinary people who are suitable as "containers" and combine them with the selected monster bodies. Or the combination of crystal nuclei can produce "blood disciples" in batches.

Therefore, "Blood of Thorns" has no shortage of cannon fodder with "second destiny". Although the strength of most "blood disciples" is much lower than that of normal second destiny extraordinary beings, the number of blood disciples is often more powerful. Take advantage of the crushing power.

Sethis took half of the surviving blood disciples back to their stronghold in the "Slums", which is the area that is truly under his control.

At this time, Sethis had no time to worry about what the controller of the "Triumph Square" stronghold would think when he found out that Sethis had made a mess of his stronghold. Sethis just went to one of his strongholds with an indifferent expression. In a secret room, he wiped a crystal clear magic crystal ball on a dusty table.

Sethis poured his spirituality into it, and after a long time, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" appeared on the "Magic Crystal Ball".

"Lord..."

Thetis's attitude changed to humility and fear, and he respectfully said to the Lord of Blood Sacrifice:

"I found it. I found where the 'double-faced doll' is..."

"In Sina City, in the obelisk of the [Intellectual] Alchemy Academy..."

"..."

…

Sina City, Triumph Square.

White Antelope Inn.

Luo Xiu sat on the bed. In front of him was a task panel with floating light and shadow.

[Promotion Mission: Praise for Ending Disaster (Hard Difficulty)] has become a "completed" status.

Luo Xiu checked the "Silver Key" in his hand one last time, and after making sure it was safe, he clicked the "Complete" option.

Here he will officially carry out the promotion of [Glorious] "Triple Destiny"!

[Completed the promotion mission: Praise for Ending Disaster (Dangerous Difficulty)]

[You have successfully held out for more than five minutes under the fierce attack of the "Fourfold Fate" enemy, "Shadow of Slaughter" Setis. You have proved that you do have the potential to go further. ]

[Task settlement...]

[Completion rewards: Basic experience +10300, skill slots +3, skill slots +3, free attribute points +10]

[...]

As the reward settlement page popped up, the environment around Luo Xiu gradually fell into a dark void.

…

Luo Xiu Durant, he has once again come to the "Spiritual Sea" full of magnificence and mystery.
