Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

——Blood of Thorns!

This was the first target that Luo Xiu decided to attack when he established the "Holy Abyss"!

Because, when Luo Xiu was officially promoted to the "Great Judge of Sin", he was ready to try to complete a long-standing hidden task.

——[Hidden Task: Dusk and Night]!

This hidden task has been lying in the task list since the time of crossing. At that time, the recommended level of the task was lv.30+, and the recommended number of fates was also "triple fates and above".

Completing this task can gain at least 72,000 experience points, and at the same time, obtain a random skill, skill and expertise from the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice"!

Even now, the rewards of these experience, skills, skills and expertise are quite generous!

Luo Xiu has been coveting its task rewards for a long time, and now he has finally waited for the opportunity to complete this task.

The "War of Judgment" is approaching, and then the "Blood of Thorns" will officially surface. And at the last critical moment when this group of cultists are dormant, it is the best time to strike them!

Luo Xiu now has the bottom-line strength required for this mission.

The endless combat power that can be transformed by "Crazy Piety" is also the confidence and guarantee for Luo Xiu to dare to fight with Thorn Blood at this stage!

Luo Xiu then opened the task panel and clicked on the details page of [Hidden Task: Dusk and Night].

[Hidden Task: Dusk and Night (Hell Difficulty)], the requirement for task settlement is that the destruction of "Thorn Blood" reaches more than 30%.

Earlier, Luo Xiu single-handedly cleared the base of "Destroyer" Samu, and at the same time instigated the generalist "Lockland" of the Alchemy Academy to lead the warlocks to destroy another base. This brought the destruction of "Thorn Blood" to 1.1%.

In other words, the number of complete "Thorn Blood" bases should be at the level of nearly 200 "medium-sized bases". And according to Luo Xiu's memory, they have more than ten bases in "Sina City".

So, according to Luo Xiu's plan.

To complete the hidden mission [Dusk and Night], we must first start by eradicating all the "Blood of Thorns" strongholds in "Sina City"!

...

When "Shura" issued this first order to the "Shadows", the "Shadows" looked at each other.

The "Shadows" were not unfamiliar with the name of this organization, and were even quite familiar with it.

The "Blood of Thorns" that believed in [Red Lotus] was an extremely large secret society. Even other organizations defined as "heretics" in the Nolan Empire did not have a harmonious relationship with them.

——These cultists who often held "blood sacrifice" rituals or transformed normal humans into "blood followers" or "destroyers" were notorious even to other "heretics".

"My Lord." The Undertaker was the first to say, "I will use my blade to cut their throats."

The Undertaker's eyes were full of fanaticism, and so were the other "shadows". This was their first battle as "Apostles of the Holy Abyss", and everyone was excited and eager to try.

Even the "Dream Thief" Pior, who had just been punished by Luo Xiu with "Nightmare", had a red glow on his face. Pior nodded slightly to "Shura" and said:

"Please witness, Lord..."

"I will let them all get lost in the illusion, this is my atonement."

...

Sina City, Triumph Square.

Late at night, the people living in this most prosperous square block have already fallen into a peaceful deep sleep. The street lights on both sides emit a dim yellow light, illuminating the quiet road for the few night walkers.

Several vague figures are silently moving forward from both sides of the street.

The "shadows" dispersed and gathered towards a hidden stronghold of "Blood of Thorns" according to the direction provided by "Faceless" Intis.

Before the "shadows" officially set off, Luo Xiu distributed a "puppet mask" to each of them.

These "puppet masks" were customized by the dwarf Mir and have the effect of blocking detection. The color and pattern of each "shadow" mask are different, and each one is easy to distinguish.

...

When Luo Xiu and all the "shadows" rushed into a deep dark alley and arrived at the entrance of an abandoned factory, everyone stopped.

In front of them was a large-scale smelting factory. Just from the dilapidated surface of the building, it can be seen that it has been abandoned for many years.

That was the result of a "smelting furnace explosion" incident earlier.

In the eyes of the officials of the City Lord's Mansion of Sina City, the cost of dealing with the factory ruins is higher than the benefits it can bring. And the location of this factory is in the desolate section of the industrial zone of Sina City. Therefore, the officials no longer pay attention to it, but let it continue to fall into ruin.

So, this place has become a hotbed for various gangs and hidden organizations.

The "shadows" sneaked into the factory silently, passed the gang's occupation, and soon came to the core of the factory ruins.

Here, there is a large base of "Blood of Thorns"!

The enemy configuration is three "Destroyers" of the triple fate of [Red Lotus], as well as several blood followers and blood slaves. Since this place is adjacent to the local gang organization, "Blood of Thorns" can easily obtain a large amount of blood and flesh materials for "sacrifice" from the surrounding area.

……

——Boom!!!

A beam of fire passed through the dark and quiet ruins and hit a rusty metal door.

A fireball of destruction was rubbed by the hand of "Flame Burner" Byrne and hit the main gate of the "Blood of Thorns" stronghold directly, opening a huge gap in the gate.

The "Shadows" entered one after another, and on both sides of their feet, there was a body that had been burned beyond recognition.

The two "Blood Disciples" on guard were burned to charcoal on the spot. When the gate of the stronghold was blasted open, several figures inside the gate were frightened by the sudden explosion and fled to the depths in panic.

Luo Xiu, who followed behind the "Shadows", saw the "Hunting Blade" Undertaker, and his figure suddenly turned into a black smoke.

This black smoke was like a running fog snake, quickly catching up with the fleeing cultists of "Blood of Thorns".

Then, the undertaker showed up, and the shadow of his right hand holding the knife had already climbed up to the neck of a cultist.

——Shua! Blood splattered!

The first cultist fell to the ground before he could wail. And at the same time when this blood cultist was beheaded, the undertaker's figure had disappeared again.

The undertaker's figure was like a ghost, and he quickly appeared behind another cultist again.

——Puff! A dull cracking sound was heard, and the black dagger stabbed into the cultist's back and stabbed out from his heart. The poison emitted from the dagger quickly spread out from the wound at the same time.

——Shua! The dagger was pulled out, and the cultist fell to the ground immediately. His body curled up and twitched for a while, and then there was no movement.

In just a moment, the "Hunting Blade" undertaker killed two "blood cultists" in succession. In the dim and lightless environment, the undertaker was like a wandering ghost, continuing to drift to the next prey.

——Shua! Swish! Swish! Although visibility was extremely low in the dim environment, when one smelled the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air, it was not difficult to know the fate of those blood followers.

…

Luo Xiu, who was in the state of "spiritual vision", could clearly see the spiritual changes of everyone present.

The spiritual color of the "Hunting Blade" was dark black, but it was faintly wrapped in a layer of pale white at the edge, which allowed Luo Xiu to see his actions clearly from the perspective of "spirituality".

The spiritual colors of the "blood followers" who were fleeing in front were scarlet with a strange atmosphere. After they suffered a fatal blow from the "Hunting Blade", their spiritual colors suddenly became dim and gradually disappeared into colorlessness.

The "Hunting Blade" undertaker quickly dealt with the six blood followers who were fleeing in front.

The other "shadows" then continued to go deeper. The "bloodthirsty werewolf" Buzer leaned over and carried several bodies of "blood followers".

The remaining blood in these bodies can be used as blood packs for the "bloodthirsty werewolves" to fight. After Buzer carried these bodies, he strode towards other "shadows".

The cultists outside the "Blood of Thorns" were quickly wiped out. The "shadows" stepped onto the corridor of the base, and the "hunting blade" led the way, killing several lone blood followers in an instant.

...

From the moment the "shadows" entered the base, the "blood spider silk" that was broken conveyed the message of "invaders" to the deepest blood pool forbidden area.

The faces of the three "destroyers" of [Red Lotus] sank at the same time, and the gloomy aura in their eyes suddenly rose.

In the base, the "blood spider silk" created by the "spider woman" Gofina was spread all over the corners of the base. Gofina could sense all the movements in the stronghold clearly.

As the invaders gradually went deeper into the hinterland, Gofina's face became more and more ugly.

Gofina could feel that the spiritual surge of the "invaders" this time was quite terrifying, which made Gofina a little afraid. But as a transcendent of the "triple destiny", she did not feel a higher level of pressure from those "invaders".

This shows that the "invaders", like their "destroyers", are all transcendents of the "triple destiny", but the difference is in number.

Out of the instinct for survival, Gofina was the first to think of escaping. She looked at the "snake-haired" Shaha and the "limb-joining" Sadman in front of her.

The three "destroyers" of the triple destiny of [Red Lotus] are the combat power configuration guarding the large stronghold of "Blood of Thorns". Gofina struggled in her mind for a while, and finally, a fierce expression replaced the hesitation.

Three twisted "body destroyers" led a group of blood slaves and blood followers to converge in the direction of the invaders.

…

——Shh!

"Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Buzer, holding a saw blade long knife in his right hand, cut a blood follower who was resisting stubbornly in half.

After killing the blood follower, Buzer immediately leaned down and began to suck the blood flowing from the blood follower.

As he sucked the blood, Buzer's mithril armor gradually disappeared into his muscles, and large patches of scarlet, blood-colored hair quickly grew on the surface of his naked body.

"——Roar!!!"

Buzer has transformed into the form of "Red Moon Werewolf".

But Buzer did not completely lose his sanity. The nightmare woven by "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir before allowed Luo Xiu to find a way to keep his sanity while turning Buzer into the "Red Moon Werewolf" form.

That is to let the "Nightmare Wolf" weave a mild nightmare deep in Boozer's mind in advance. This prevents Boozer's will from being completely shrouded in murderous intent, but retains a sense of fear.

And this "fear" is the source of Buzzer's sanity.

...

"Blood of Thorns" stronghold corridor.

On both sides of the wall, there is a deep lamp trough at intervals. Each lamp trough is equipped with a crystal lamp, which emits a dark yellow light.

In a cramped and bright environment, the characteristics of the "Hunting Blade" are not suitable for continuing to open the way in front.

Therefore, the "bloodthirsty werewolf" Buzzer replaced the "Hunting Blade" and took over the position of opening the way.

After transforming into the "Red Moon Werewolf", Buzzer's huge body blocked the sight of the "shadows" behind him and looking forward.

However, after the "Hunting Blade" opened the way before, the way ahead was also unobstructed. The corpses of countless blood followers filled the corridor, and the bloody smell was constantly spreading.

...

Suddenly.

From the gap between the "werewolf" Buzzer and the wall, a strong light shone!

Something was rushing towards the "shadows" from the opposite side of Boozer!

——Hiss, hiss, hiss! A strange hissing sound resounded. Then, a beam of scarlet light surged, carrying the vibration of the air, and instantly washed over Boozer's huge body!

The deep red fragments of light spread around along the outline of Boozer's body. The smell of blood came from Boozer, and with it, there were also bursts of burnt smells.

Boozer's body seemed to shake for a while, but soon stabilized.

In Luo Xiu's panel detection of Boozer, Boozer suffered a considerable amount of damage in an instant, and was also accompanied by the negative effect of "petrification".

However, Boozer, who was transformed into the form of "Red Moon Werewolf", was only "slightly injured" because of his thick skin and flesh.

Boozer's health limit of more than 4,000 was therefore reduced to 3,000.

Behind Boozer, the "Life-loving" Elena gently raised her hand, condensed a light green fluorescent ball from her palm, and pushed the light ball towards Boozer.

The light green light ball flew in the air, and the moment it touched Boozer's back, it turned into countless crystal light green light spots, pouring into Boozer's body.

Boozer's lost blood volume instantly returned to a healthy range. And the negative effect of "petrification" in Boozer's status bar was also purified at the same time!

——Life healing, this is the area of ​​expertise of Elena as a "Life-loving". Elena's skill library is almost all "healing" or auxiliary skills related to "healing".

Elena was taken as a "shadow" because she is a pure nurse profession that is very rare in the entire Fanol continent.

As believers of [Lost], what abilities believers can master is sometimes not something they can decide for themselves. It depends on their luck and the mood of the [Lost] Pillar God, the "Original Mother" on that day.

After condensing a healing light ball, Elena immediately retracted her hand, clasped her hands in front of her chest, nodded and murmured a vague, ancient blessing.

As Elena chanted, a green ritual magic circle gradually appeared under the feet of "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer. The light emitted from the magic circle pattern immediately enveloped Boozer's figure.

"——Roar!!!"

The injured "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer suddenly roared angrily. After being enveloped by the magic circle light released by "Life-loving" Elena, Boozer dragged his long knife and rushed forward!

The healing magic circle released by Elena kept moving as Boozer charged. The life force that flowed out of the magic circle was also continuously healing Boozer's injuries.

——Boom! Boom! Boom! The attack from the front of Buzer became more and more fierce, hitting Buzer's body again and again. However, the healing array released by "Life Lover" Elena also allowed Buzer's injuries to heal in an instant!

The treatment from Elena made Buzer simply give up all defense. Buzer roared, bit the mithril dagger in his left hand in his mouth, and put the saw blade long knife behind his back, supported the ground with both hands, arched his back, and made a charge.

"——Roar!" Buzer roared, and his body suddenly rushed out like a sharp arrow!

...

The leader of the stronghold in front of Buzer, who had organized the "blood disciples" to jointly cast spells and attack, was the "body destroyer" Snake Hair Shaha.

Snake Hair Shaha, a look of horror flashed across his face!

"What is this!" Shaha shouted angrily, and the "thin snakes" on his head that replaced his hair opened their fangs again in the direction of Buzer, making a sharp hiss!

——Hiss hiss hiss! The thin snakes on Shaha's head emitted countless dense dark red scarlet lights from their eyes. The scarlet lights once again enveloped Buzer's figure, causing Buzer's charge to stagnate.

The snake pupils turned to stone! This is the "body destroyer" snake-haired Shaha, who uses it as the main means of fighting. Before being promoted to the "body destroyer", Shaha cut open his scalp and implanted the captured "petrified demon snakes" into his head layer one by one with the skill of "blood and flesh suturing", thus gaining the ability to petrify!

Snake-haired Shaha looked at the "werewolf" opposite him, watching his body turn gray and become as hard as rock, and a sinister smile began to appear on Shaha's face.

Suddenly, a green light burst out from behind the "werewolf", and the gray and hardened petrified skin began to peel off piece by piece, quickly returning to its normal state.

As the "petrification" was lifted, the spiritual arrogance of "Werewolf" Boozer suddenly soared, and his huge body was suddenly shrouded in darkness, blocking Shaha's sight!

"——Roar!!!"

"Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer let out a deafening roar. He took the two knives from his mouth and back with both hands, and the long and short blades came from both sides, slashing towards Shaha's head!
