Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

"——Convert to the Holy Abyss, serve me as your master..."

"..."

In the mind of "Flame Burner" Byrne, strange whispers began to repeat.

At this time, Byrne's consciousness had been invaded by Fenrir. Although he still retained his perception of the outside world, the intense fear and pain, like a nightmare coming true, began to surge in his mind.

"Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir, the nightmare situation he constantly wove, was frantically eroding Byrne's soul. This caused Byrne's spiritual surge to be strongly disordered, and the light of the magic flame phantom blade condensed in his hand also became much dimmer.

"Get out of here..." Byrne roared, and he suddenly raised the phantom blade in his right hand and stabbed it towards his right chest.

——Sizzle! The bright red blood gushed out of the wound, wrapped around the magic flame phantom blade, and began to burn.

The intense pain and the destructive power forcibly stimulated by the "burning blood" temporarily stopped the erosion of the "nightmare".

…

The golden deep light that was constantly flowing in Luo Xiu’s pupils gradually extinguished with Byrne’s “burning blood and killing himself”.

The first attempt to use “Crazy Piety” on “Flame Burner” Byrne, who was still in full condition, was not successful.

However, Luo Xiu stopped chanting this “holy art” in the pre-tune preparation stage of “Crazy Piety”, which made “Crazy Piety” enter the penalty cooling for only half an hour.

But this was expected for Luo Xiu.

“Flame Burner” Byrne, like Luo Xiu, is a transcendent of “Triple Destiny”. Even if “Nightmare Wolf” constantly weaves nightmares in Byrne’s mind, Byrne did not fall into a state of “severe injury” or even “near death”, and still had considerable resistance to “Crazy Piety”.

Using “Crazy Piety” on a full-blooded “Triple Destiny” transcendent was just an attempt, and Luo Xiu quickly got feedback.

As Byrne committed suicide, the spiritual energy that escaped from his body suddenly surged a lot, and the scarlet flames that splashed out from the scars on his body became more intense and hot.

The next second, Byrne's sight was locked on Luo Xiu again.

"Flame Burner" Byrne swung the magic flame phantom blade in his hand, and at the same time, his left hand gathered a burning flame fireball with powerful destructive energy and rushed towards Luo Xiu!

——Ding Ding Ding! Luo Xiu waved his sickle and blocked Byrne's swift and continuous slashes. Two balls of scarlet reflected in the air, and with the sound of each slash, a piece of scattered sparks would splash out.

With the strength attribute set to "20", and the attribute correction of "Ghost Face Scales" and "Moon Cutting Scythe", Luo Xiu's "Physical Attack" value has exceeded the fifty mark!

With many damage enhancement effects added, Luo Xiu's melee damage at this time is enough to be compared with the "Warrior" profession of the same fate level.

——Ding Ding Ding! The magic flame phantom blade in Byrne's hand continuously launched lightning-fast slashes at Luo Xiu, but it was unable to break Luo Xiu's defense and it was difficult to cause significant damage.

At the same time, Luo Xiu also used the skill "Destroying Demon Flame" from the "Ancient Heritage", the "Moon-cutting Scythe" enchanted by "Calamity Fire", and the scarlet flame on the sickle suddenly rose high, which was much hotter than the magic flame phantom blade in Byrne's hand!

——Ding Ding Ding! The two scarlet shadows kept colliding, making a violent explosion sound, and the blades of both sides kept hitting each other, causing a considerable degree of vibration in the surrounding air!

With a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air, Luo Xiu waved the sickle in the form of "Red Moon" in his hand, and swung out an impenetrable scarlet light and shadow in front of him.

——Boom boom boom! At the same time, "Flame Burner" Byrne condensed a fireball of destruction in his left hand and fired it towards Luo Xiu's position!

Luo Xiu held the "White Oak Staff" tightly in his left hand, on which he also condensed a golden light ball of "Sacred Attack", and threw the sacred art of "Annihilation" back at the attacking scarlet fireball. The fireball and the light ball collided in mid-air, canceling out most of each other's power with loud noises!

As a "Great Blessing of Judgement", Luo Xiu dared to fight "Flame Burner" Byrne in close combat because of his confidence in his own strength.

After being promoted to "Great Blessing of Judgement", Luo Xiu could see all the panel information of Byrne, who was also "Triple Destiny", and had clear preventive measures for the dangers he might encounter.

This was also the first time that Luo Xiu had fought an enemy of the same level since he was promoted to "Great Blessing of Judgement" of Triple Destiny. He needed to roughly confirm the upper limit of his own strength through "Flame Burner" Byrne.

At the same time, the "Mist Hidden Raven" Wu Ye had also spread a deep and thick black fog around Byrne, and countless "fog shadows" shot towards Byrne.

"Flame Burner" Byrne's health was constantly reduced, but through the characteristics of the fate of [Red Lotus], Byrne could slowly recover from his injuries, and under Luo Xiu's intentional control, Byrne's health was always stabilized at about half of his health.

...

"Flame Burner" Byrne, he watched the other party fighting with him in close combat, while constantly releasing more powerful holy arts to offset his destructive fireballs, and Byrne's face gradually turned livid.

"Flame Burner" Byrne, he felt insulted.

Having fought with the other party for a long time, Byrne, as a [Red Lotus] triple fate transcendent, could already sense the fate of the "uninvited guest" on the opposite side.

From the many golden "holy arts" used by the other party, it is not difficult to see that the other party should be a [Glorious] priest.

"Is it the Holy Judge..." Byrne pondered. His first reaction was that the profession that could fight so long in close combat with himself as a "Flame Burner" should be a "priest" or a "paladin"...

But soon, Byrne's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rejected this idea.

Because the weapon used by the "holy official" on the opposite side was not a "war hammer" or a "great sword", but a "staff"!

--That huge sickle that flashed with scarlet deep light could actually be a staff!

Byrne watched several times, and from the sickle that kept fighting with him, one after another of the powerful holy arts was inspired. That was something that only a "staff" could do!

That was a weapon that only the "priest" profession of priests would often use!

There were even a few times when "Flame Burner" Byrne broke through the opponent's defense and successfully injured the opponent, the opponent easily pinched a "healing spell" with his hand and healed the injury with ease!

--That was a holy art that only the "priest" profession could master!

"Flame Burner" Byrne's blood suddenly surged.

As a "Flame Burner" who received the power of "destruction", he was actually fighting a [Glorious] priest in close combat, and the fight was even more intense!

The strong sense of oppression when the other party swung the sickle was even stronger than his. After these rounds of knife fighting, in comparison, he seemed to be better than the other party only in the level of "flexibility"...

However, the battle between the "priest" on the opposite side and himself did not require any twists and turns. Every time his magic flame phantom blade really hit the other party, the other party's injuries would always recover quickly. On the contrary, every time he really hurt the other party, he would feel a needle-like pain!

That feeling was like a punch on a cactus.

Byrne found it unacceptable, and the other party even seemed not to want to end the battle prematurely with "holy art".

"What the hell are you, what the hell..." The flame blade in Byrne's hand suddenly flashed red, leaving a burning mark in the air, forcibly stopping the fierce battle, and took a big step back.

"——Who are you!"

Byrne stared at the "priest" opposite and roared.

At this time, after a long battle, Byrne's combat power, which was forcibly improved by "burning blood and killing oneself", has gradually begun to backfire.

On the body of "Flame Burner" Byrne, the flames flowing from the deep scars began to burn out more and more hideous deep scars. The crackling sound of his skin and flesh being burned began to explode slightly in the air.

The great pain brought by the "backlash" made Byrne frown tightly.

In the mind of "Flame Burner" Byrne, "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir was still constantly creating nightmares, breeding new fears from Byrne's soul.

This made Byrne's consciousness more and more blurred, and the growing "fear" also made his fighting spirit more and more depressed.

Suddenly, the "priest" on the opposite side seemed to make a teasing voice under the "black pattern puppet mask" on his face.

"'Burner' Byrne, you are not bad..."

"...Accept my baptism, you have obtained the qualification to serve the 'Holy Abyss'."

As the voice under the black pattern puppet mask of the "priest" on the opposite side fell to the ground, a strange purple mist began to emanate from the palm of his left hand.

Byrne, whose consciousness was gradually blurred, relied on his intuition and perception of danger, and he had already noticed the huge danger and terror contained in the purple mist in the palm of the "priest" on the opposite side.

But Byrne had no time to escape. At the same time as the "priest" exuded an ominous surge, the "fog shadows" surrounding Byrne enveloped Byrne's figure in a moment!

The corrosion of "Dark Corrosion" quickly spread to every inch of Byrne's flesh and skin, and his vitality was extracted from his body like a cocoon being peeled off.

The flames on the body of this "Flame Burner" gradually dimmed, and Byrne felt that he was becoming weaker and weaker.

In Luo Xiu's panel, "Flame Burner" Byrne's health had been reduced to only two digits, and he was already on the verge of "dying".

Luo Xiu then stopped the corrosion of "Mist Hidden Raven" Wu Ye, and at the same time raised the purple mist in his palm to the sky.

——The Holy Abyss is coming!

This time, the "Holy Abyss is coming" is used to reduce the highest "divine" attribute of "Flame Burner" Byrne. So that his "divine" attribute value can be as much as possible greater than the sum of Byrne's "divine" and "resistance" attribute values.

In this way, the prerequisite for the successful brainwashing of "Crazy Piety" can be met.

After the previous fierce battle, the half-hour cooldown of "Crazy Piety" has passed, and Luo Xiu has also completed the chanting of "Blessing", allowing the blessed light column to pass through the "Eye of Corrosion" and pour into Byrne's body.

Byrne, who was shrouded in black light, had his "divinity" attribute value plummet on the spot. Byrne only felt that most of the spirituality contained in his body disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, Byrne, who had been tortured to the point of almost unconsciousness due to the double trauma of the mind and body, seemed to chant something in his vision and then walked towards him.

"You...what are you going to do..."

Byrne, who had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, struggled to the end from his throat.

However, the "priest" ignored Byrne's struggle. His pupils once again circulated golden light patterns, and at the same time, a layer of golden hazy light spread out from his left hand, gently pressing Byrne's forehead.

"——This is the mercy of the 'Holy Abyss', this is the pity of 'Ashura'..."

"——You are the sin of the lost, I am the guiding light..."

"——Abandon destruction and follow me..."

"——Take refuge in the 'Holy Abyss' and serve me as your Lord..."

"..."

As Luo Xiu chanted in a low voice, the eyes of the "Burner" Baien gradually dimmed.

This is a "crazy and pious" prayer, and the chanted blessing was modified by Luo Xiu with a "holy prayer", distorting the directionality.

Originally, "This is the mercy of the 'Holy Abyss', this is the pity of 'Ashura'\

,"and "Take refuge in the 'Holy Abyss' and serve me as your Lord" all have original texts.

The original text is——

"This is the mercy of the 'Holy Light', this is the pity of 'A Moment'";

"Take refuge in the 'Holy Light' and serve Him as your Lord"!

That is to say, although the recipient will become Luo Xiu's "crazy believer", the ultimate source of faith is still in "Casting Sun Xu Yu", and Luo Xiu is only their "indirect faith".

Here, "Holy Abyss" replaces Holy Light, and Luo Xiu also replaces Xu Yu, becoming the "direct faith" of the "crazy believers"!

This means that Luo Xiu will be able to completely "restrain" and "dominate" these "crazy believers"!

However, this is limited.

The "crazy piety" that determines the attributes based on Luo Xiu's "divinity" is determined by Luo Xiu's own "divinity".

If the number of "crazy believers" who have "direct faith" at the same time exceeds the limit, the brainwashing effect of "crazy piety" will loosen, which may lead to large-scale riots of "awakened people".

But this is a later issue. Luo Xiu conservatively estimated that with the divine attribute bonus of "Great Judgment of Sin" of "Triple Destiny", it should not be a problem to maintain about ten "crazy believers" of the same level at the same time.

...

"Flame Burner" Byrne, his mind was flooded with extremely clear and strange whispers.

"Holy Abyss", "Shura"... All kinds of unheard-of strange words, like a brand, engraved on his soul.

Byrne wanted to stop it, wanted to struggle to resist, but deep in his consciousness, there was also a nightmare wolf lurking at the same time, it kept creating horrible nightmares, eroding and dissolving Byrne's remaining will, making him gradually sink into the bottomless abyss.

Byrne felt that his soul seemed to be flooded with something strange.

But this feeling did not disgust him, and even made Byrne feel inexplicably comfortable.

In Byrne's mind, a vague image of the "Destruction Seat" began to emerge inexplicably. That was the purest and most original fire of destruction enshrined on the Red Lotus Throne. However, this blurred statue of the Pillar God began to shatter, peel off, and fall one by one in front of Byrne's "eyes" like a glass frame painting.

At the same time, a dark "eye" suddenly opened from Byrne's mind. In that "eye", golden and purple light kept flowing, exuding a sacred, great, and awe-inspiring breath that Byrne felt.

Byrne felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this breath. At the same time, he had the urge to "want to follow", "want to serve", and "want to kneel" from the bottom of his heart.

In addition, as the "eye" kept peeping in Byrne's mind, Byrne only felt that he seemed to be gradually forgetting something very important.

"Flame Burner" Byrne, his consciousness gradually fell into a daze.

...

The first formal attempt at "crazy piety" was successful.

Luo Xiu looked at the prompt of "Divinity Test" passed on the panel, and then looked at "Flame Burner" Byrne, who was lying on the ground, dying and covered in blood.

The belief in "Holy Abyss" and "Shura" has been successfully implanted into Byrne's mind through "Crazy Piety".

Byrne, who had just been beaten up by Luo Xiu's righteous group and tortured both physically and mentally, has now fallen into a coma and will need a long time to wake up.

At this time, in the panel feedback of Luo Xiu's detection of "Flame Burner" Byrne, there was an additional item in his status bar.

——"Crazy Pious (Stable, Permanent)"!

"This is considered a success..." Luo Xiu murmured.

"Flame Burner" Byrne is the most important first step in his cultivation of a secret force outside the "Holy Court".

Among the "Triple Fate" extraordinary people, Byrne's strength can only be considered average, and he cannot be compared with "The Destroyer" Samuel and "The Spirit Descender" Starro, whom Luo Xiu had fought before.

However, although Byrne's combat power is average, he is at least a genuine "Triple Fate" extraordinary person.

And the successful completion of the subjugation of "Flame Burner" Byrne is an important step with milestone significance.

While thinking, Luo Xiu has recalled Fenrir hidden in Byrne's consciousness, and at the same time let Wu Ye differentiate "Mist Shadow" to monitor the surrounding environment.

After ensuring that there is no one around and the pagans in the entire "Torch Party" base have been killed, Luo Xiu took back the "Holy Abyss" domain and began to chant "Healing".

Luo Xiu took out the "White Oak Staff" and condensed a golden mist of light at the head of the staff. The ball of light from the "healing spell" flew to the side of "Flame Burner" Byrne and transformed into vitality that flowed into Byrne's body.

The deep wounds on "Flame Burner" Byrne began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Later, Luo Xiu activated the inherent skill "White Oak Blessing" of the "White Oak Staff" to treat Byrne again.

Under the influence of two treatments, Byrne's injuries began to heal quickly, from "near death" to "seriously injured", and then back to "slandered".

"Flame Burner" Byrne gradually regained consciousness, but there was an imperceptible golden light in his eyes.

"I am...'Burning Fire' Byrne..."

Byrne, who had just woken up, his voice was a little stiff. He looked at the "priest" opposite, and there was no longer any hostility deep in his heart.

"You are 'Shura'..." Byrne murmured.

"Well, I'm 'Shura'."

Opposite Byrne, under the black-striped face of the "priest", a deep voice came out.

"I am the Lord of the 'Holy Abyss'. And you, thank you."

"Answer me, your name and identity."

"..."

"Flame Burner" Byrne looked a little dull when he was questioned by Luo Xiu.

When Byrne heard the word "Holy Abyss", his eyes gradually became brighter.

"I am a servant of the 'Holy Abyss'..."

Byrne raised his head and looked at the "priest" wearing a black-striped mask in front of him, with a fanatical look on his face.

——Wow, Byrne lifted the hem of his scarlet robe and knelt down in front of Luo Xiu.

"——I am your loyal servant, Lord."

Byrne's expression was pious and his tone was firm.

"It was you who made me wake up, Lord..."

"From now on, my life belongs only to the Holy Abyss, and my power can only be driven by you..."

"Very good." Luo Xiu nodded imperceptibly.

"Then, Byrne. From now on, you will be my 'shadow'."

Luo Xiu said in a low voice: "Now, I will give you the first task..."

"Please give me your orders, Lord." Byrne said humbly, still kneeling on the ground.

Luo Xiu looked around and looked at the corpses of heretics scattered around.

"Byrne, I command you."

"This place was originally the stronghold of the Torch Party. Now, it's up to you to clean it up."

Luo Xiu gave the first order.

Byrne raised his head and looked at the corpses of his former compatriots around him, his face no longer showing any touched expression.

"As ordered." Byrne said humbly:

"...I will obey your will."

…

Late afternoon.

After completing the clearing of a medium-sized stronghold of the "Torch Party" and successfully conquering "The Burner" Byrne, as his first "Crazy Believer", Luo Xiu witnessed a "Bonfire Feast" with his own eyes .

At that time, "Burner" Byrne, after receiving Luo Xiu's first "order", spared no effort to move the bodies of all "Torch Party" members to one place.

At the same time, "Burner" Byrne released the "Destruction Fire" contained in his body, burning the pile of corpses.

The flames soared into the sky, and the smell of burning smell filled the air. Luo Xiu stood at the far end, calmly watching the stronghold burn to ashes.

In order to prevent the corpses of "extraordinary beings" from degeneration and distortion, the best way is to burn them. And now Luo Xiu has no interest in waiting for these corpses to turn into undead and kill them again.

Merely being a dead spirit transformed from the corpse of a "second life path" transcendent has no attraction for Luo Xiu.

In Sina City, there are more experience packs that are worth getting.

After confirming that the scene had been burned clean, Luo Xiu asked "Burner" Byrne to return to the "Torch Party".

Byrne was not fit to be followed openly. Luo Xiu knew that even if he was about to form a "shadow army", he was still far from being strong enough as he was still a "three-fold destiny".

Luo Xiu didn't want to attract too much attention.

As for the "shadows" like Byrne, who are "crazy believers", their biggest role at present is to become themselves and drive into the "nails" of various pagan organizations.

This is beneficial to myself, as I can control the intelligence about these pagan organizations at any time, and at critical moments, carry out righteous backstabs on the leaders of these pagan organizations!

Luo Xiu immediately dismissed "Flame Burner" Bai En. But before he left, Luo Xiu quietly formed a "fog shadow" to Byrne for short-distance monitoring and instruction transmission.

After completing all this, Luo Xiu did not return to Sina City immediately.

Luo Xiu immediately set off and headed to the next "pagan" stronghold.

While his hands are hot, he is ready to conquer the second "crazy believer"!

As for the goal of conquering this time, Luo Xiu already had a candidate in mind.

His eyes then fell on a river valley further away.

——"Whisting Valley"!

There is a secret medium-sized stronghold of a pagan organization known as the "Ancestors of the Beast" and the self-proclaimed "Cult of the Beast".

A "bloodthirsty werewolf" guards this stronghold.

It was a powerful extraordinary person with half the blood of "wolf" in his body and two "template specialties".

It is also the target that Luo Xiu is about to hunt.

A little late for a private Marseille! Code dizzy orz
