Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

"Cough...cough..."

Inside the pit, Bishop Zuling's robe was riddled with holes, revealing horrific scars that were gushing out blood.

Bishop Zuling was already scarred, his face was pale, and he coughed several times. He felt as if his internal organs had been broken, and severe pain was constantly rising in his mind.

"What...is going on..."

Bishop Zuling struggled to stand up, still holding the ancient staff tightly in his hand, and wisps of green light were emitting from the staff.

Before, if the ancestral spirit bishop had not taken back the wandering spirits in time and allowed them to withstand most of the impact, he would have been on the verge of death now.

But even so, Bishop Zuling was severely hit and was much weaker than when he first attacked the church in Sina City.

At this moment, the biggest doubt in Bishop Zuling's mind lingered in his mind for a long time and could not be dissipated -

"Fabiang! What on earth did he do!"

The strange golden eyes opened on the top of his head, the two giant statues of the guardian knights exuding terrifying spiritual surges, and Fabion's last and last steps, several consecutive holy flames of light that were fired at him...

Bishop Zuling only felt that the intensity of the attack he received from the "Holy Light" far exceeded his expectations!

——Boom, boom, boom...

When Bishop Zuling was still thinking hard and meditating on the answer to this question.

The two giant statues of guardian knights awakened by Fabian, exuding terrifying spiritual surges, were taking extremely heavy steps to surround the Ancestral Spirit Bishop.

These two giant statues of guardian knights are also the unexpected products of the Ancestral Spirit Bishop.

During the "Holy War" just a hundred years ago, Bishop Zuling still clearly remembered that the Church in Sina City did not have such a war weapon!

Seeing the two giant statues of knights quickly approaching his position, Bishop Zuling struggled to stand up, wiped the blood on the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and then raised his staff high and performed a new round of chanting:

"——That spirit that was born without destiny, I will give you a hotbed, and I will be your swaddling clothes!"

"..."

Next to Bishop Zuling, countless illusory figures soon emerged from the air. The newly born "spirits" roared happily and flew around Bishop Zuling.

In the ignorant intuition of these wandering spirits, the "ancestral spirit bishop" is equivalent to their "father".

At the same time that the Ancestral Spirit Bishop summoned the new wandering spirits, the two giant knight statues had also rushed very close to him.

--boom! The heavy ax fell again. But this time, the figure of Bishop Zuling did not appear in the pit that was smashed.

On the other side not far away, the air suddenly began to vibrate unnaturally. The folds were piled up one after another, and Bishop Zuling slowly appeared.

However, Bishop Zuling at this time was very different from before.

The left half of the Ancestral Spirit Bishop's body has turned into a translucent spiritual body, and the wandering spirits he summoned before were absorbed into the Ancestral Spirit Bishop's body and became part of that half of the spiritual body.

——The incarnation of a god! This is Bishop Zuling’s biggest trump card!

The Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit is a saint who knows the secret of "spirit". When a [Lost] believer like him reaches the current state of his "Fifth Life Path", he no longer has much distinction between species. Grievance.

The current ancestral spirit bishop is a special existence between "human" and "god"!

"Fabiang...I didn't expect..."

Bishop Zuling's eyes became more profound, and the expression on his face changed from the original joking one to one with a hint of cruelty.

"I didn't expect that you could actually let me do this..."

Half of the spirit-incarnated body of the Ancestral Spirit Bishop suddenly ignited with a dark green flame. He waved the dark green staff in his right hand, and countless resentful souls instantly appeared in the air. They roared towards Fabi. Rushing in the right direction!

…

Behind the bunker, Luo Xiu witnessed the entire process of the spiritualization of the ancestral spirit bishop.

"He did use this trick..." Luo Xiu murmured.

In Luo Xiu's memory of his previous life, he knew deeply how terrifying the "incarnation of the spirit" was.

The current Ancestral Spirit Bishop is equivalent to an immortal old monster.

The Ancestral Spirit Bishop will gain a large amount of physical and attribute damage resistance, and ordinary physical or magical means can no longer really kill him. Only the two special attributes of "holy light" and "eclipse" can cause effective damage to him.

In addition, the Ancestral Spirit Bishop will also receive nearly unlimited mana, which allows him to cast ordinary spells or summon wandering spirits almost without any scruples, without having to consider the issue of spiritual exhaustion.

However, the reason why Bishop Zuling has not revealed this trump card for so long is because he has scruples.

——Because the ritual of "god incarnation" is actually incomplete!

At this time, Bishop Zuling had more than just his soul in his body. The Ancestral Spirit Bishop shares this body with countless "wraith ghosts"!

The Ancestral Spirit Bishop cannot suppress these wandering spirits based on blood like the "King of Ancestral Spirits". All he can do is to keep these wandering spirits in his special cage like pets. inside.

It is precisely for this reason that in order to integrate all these "wandering spirits" into his own body and become a brand new force, the ancestral spirit bishop must devote a considerable amount of energy to suppress these people who are ready to move and want to occupy them all the time. The wandering spirit of body initiative!

"..."

When he thought of this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but smile calmly.

This is a secret known only to Luo Xiu and the Zuling Bishop himself. Before the "players" come, no third person knows this weakness of the Zuling Bishop!

Zuling Bishop, he insisted that Fabian could not attack him on the spiritual level - because he really did not have the corresponding means, so he dared to use the "God's Incarnation" blatantly!

But Luo Xiu is different, he is the most proficient expert in this.

Or, it is his Er Gouzi who is best at torturing on the "spiritual" level!

...

On the other side of the battlefield.

When Bishop Fabian witnessed the changes in the Zuling Bishop, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"What is that..." Fabian murmured, "It looks like a spirit, but it is purer and closer to the origin..."

While thinking, Fabian did not forget to command the Guardian Knight Colossus to continue to suppress the Zuling Bishop.

The "Guardian Knight Colossus" had succeeded in its stealth attack. No matter how the Ancestral Bishop changed his form, he had already suffered a serious injury. This was an indisputable fact.

Then, as long as the Ancestral Bishop was busy dealing with the two Guardian Knight Colossi and Fabian's own pursuit and interception of him, the balance of victory would sooner or later tilt towards the church.

Fabian thought so. He saw the Ancestral Bishop summoning wandering spirits to attack him again, so he also raised his scepter and quickly completed the prayer of the holy art of counterattack.

Countless holy flame light balls emerged from the air and shot in the direction of the group of wandering spirits.

——Boom! ——Boom! ——Boom!

In the center of Fabian and the Ancestral Bishop, dark green and golden light continued to bloom, forming clusters of light mist that emitted terrifying spiritual shocks.

However, the moment those "wandering souls" were burned by the holy flames, they did not dissipate silently like before, but would expand violently in the moment before dissipating, and then produce a secondary explosion!

The dark green light balls exploded again and again, and this strange deep light even carried a certain corrosive power, which made the holy flame balls and the sacred and dazzling golden flames that were touched suddenly dim.

A moment later, hundreds of resentful souls completely dispersed the first wave of holy flames cast by Fabian, and continued to rush towards Fabian with a roar.

"Bishop of the Ancestral Spirits... Sandos strengthened the wandering spirits?"

Fabian quickly analyzed in his mind, and then he raised his left hand, and the sacred mark on the back of his hand glowed.

In the distance, the "double-winged angel" Herag, who was fighting fiercely with the "King of the Ancestral Spirits", disappeared again, leaving only the "King of the Ancestral Spirits" standing there in a daze.

The figure of the angel Herag appeared in front of Fabian the next moment, and he raised the golden sword in his hand, and the sacred golden light gushed out from the blade, and the sword immediately fell heavily!

——Shua! The golden sword wave, which was emitting a terrifying spiritual surge, completely wiped out the wandering spirits that were whistling, and Fabian's vision returned to peace again.

The next moment, Fabian heard a roar of an angry beast.

"——Roar!!!"

"The King of Ancestral Spirits" Malves, roared and rushed over, entangled with "Double-winged Angel" Herag again, and wanted to pull him to continue fighting on the edge of the "Lightless Cage".

When the two "gods" fought farther and farther, Fabian turned around and saw the disdainful expression on the face of the "Ancestral Spirit Bishop".

"——Fabian, I said it. That was a battle between gods."

"Even if you can keep recalling your angels, how long can you hold on?"

"..."

Fabian was silent, and he replaced his answer with a new round of holy flame light curtain.

The dazzling golden light flashed, and rows of holy flames flew towards the direction of the ancestral bishop, and the two guardian knights also raised their giant swords and axes and ran towards the ancestral bishop.

The green flames burning on the outline of the spiritual body on the left side of the ancestral bishop suddenly rose a little higher.

His translucent left hand, which was flowing with dark green light, quickly condensed a small ball emitting green mist in the palm.

The green ball continued to expand, and the terrifying spiritual surge escaped from it, and soon reached a certain critical point.

——Boom!!!

The ancestral bishop continued to infuse spirituality into the small ball, and the small ball suddenly exploded in the next moment, sweeping away the countless holy flames that attacked him and the two guardian knights that were already approaching.

The dark green spirituality with terrifying energy visible to the naked eye continued to dissipate and overflow in the air, forming a light layer like thick fog.

This is an indiscriminate attack by the "Spirit of Erosion"! The Ancestral Bishop regarded all energy bodies within a certain range, including himself, as his attack targets!

However, the Ancestral Bishop, who had undergone "divine incarnation", was naturally immune to this power. However, those holy flame light groups were completely swallowed up, and the annihilation power contained in them disappeared in an instant.

And the two "Guardian Knight Colossi" were also hit hard.

On their bodies, the Paladin's armor, which was originally shining with golden light patterns, was now stained with a touch of dark green, and the dark green kept jumping in the golden patterns, and soon spread to half of the body of the Knight Colossus.

It was visible to the naked eye that the half of the body of the Knight Colossus that was invaded by the "dark green" seemed to have become much more difficult to move. The spiritual conduction that originally supported their huge bodies had been blocked by the strange things.

When the Ancestral Bishop used this attack, the dark green light flowing in the left half of his body suddenly became much dimmer, and the number of wandering spirits sealed in it was also reduced by half at once.

This move consumed a lot of energy from the Ancestral Bishop, which made his face pale.

…

"…You are almost at your limit, Sandos."

When the battle reached this point, Fabian finally took the initiative to speak the first sentence.

However, although the Ancestral Bishop was already on the verge of his limit, Fabian was also shaky at this time. He was fighting overloaded and could fall at any time.

Fabian looked at the Ancestral Bishop and the golden eye that opened above his head.

"I don't know who that is..." Fabian shook his head.

Although Bishop Fabian did not know what it was. But from the moment the ancient phantom hall and the golden eye appeared, the Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit seemed to have been weakened by some kind of existence.

This gave Fabian some breathing space, and he was able to crush the Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit to such a situation with special advantages such as the Knight Colossus.

But... Fabian also understood that not only the Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit was on the verge of the limit, but Fabian himself was also about to run out of energy.

"Maybe... maybe I can still use my power for the last time and cast the last two five-fold holy spells..."

Fabian thought in his heart, and he raised his scepter at the same time, ready to fight the Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit for the last time.

However, just as Fabian raised his scepter.

He suddenly saw a golden flame suddenly burst out from the diagonal angle and headed straight for the direction of the Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit!

"What is that...?" Fabian was surprised, and his attention was immediately attracted by the flame.

Fabian quickly saw that it was a wolf-shaped quadruped beast burning with holy flames. It moved extremely fast and soon ran to the side of the ancestral bishop.

It exuded a familiar aura, allowing Fabian to quickly identify its affiliation.

——Holy beast!

——That is a holy beast!

——And it is a holy beast of the "Spiritual Glory" rank!

"What's going on...who is that..." Fabian fell into thought.

Suddenly, Fabian's mind emerged with something that Priest Leonard had told him before.

It was about a newly promoted Holy Judge, a genius priest who advanced to the "Triple Destiny" and was promoted to "Holy Judge" in just one month.

The priest named "Roshu Carlos" seemed to be the "Son of Glory".

And the "holy beast" that favored him and established a sacred contract with him seemed to be in the form of a wolf!

"Could it be... Could it be him...?" Fabian's thoughts raced, and his sight followed the actions of the wolf-shaped sacred beast.

All this happened in an instant. At this time, Fabian had not yet completed the chanting of a new round of sacred arts, and the Ancestral Bishop urgently needed to recover and did not summon a new wandering spirit.

This was when the Ancestral Bishop was at his weakest, and the appearance of the Holy Flame Wolf completely disrupted his pace.

"Holy Flame Wolf" Fenrir, he quickly rushed to the front of the Ancestral Bishop. While the Ancestral Bishop had no time to respond, in the blind spot of his vision that Fabian could not see, the golden holy flame burning on his body suddenly dissipated, replaced by a dark purple flame that exuded a strange and ominous aura.

"... What is this!" The Ancestral Bishop was horrified, and the staff in his hand emitted a deep light, trying to stop the intruding demon wolf.

However, Fenrir had already pounced on the face of the Ancestral Bishop, and the next moment, it turned into a nightmare and invaded the depths of the Ancestral Bishop's soul.

"Ugh uh ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The Zuling Bishop suddenly had a splitting headache. He covered his head with his hands, his expression became extremely hideous, and he let out a painful roar.

The "nightmare" hit him unexpectedly, causing the Zuling Bishop's spirit to have an extremely violent shock. The left half of his spiritual body was suddenly filled with ominous black mist, and the spiritual half of his body also had a tendency to erode towards the right half.

The Zuling Bishop never thought that he would face such a crisis.

That was not the holy art that "Bishop of Fire" Fabian could use...

That was definitely not even the holy art of [Glorious]!

"Is it that the 'Holy Court' has mastered new power? Or are those old parties of the 'Worldly Faction' resurrected, and the remnants of Alfonso have made new attempts...?"

The Zuling Bishop, who was experiencing it firsthand, kept guessing the possible answers in his mind.

But he couldn't tell anyone, so he could only silently endure the pain.

Otherwise, the wandering spirits sealed in his body would attack him in an instant and take away his control over his body.

And if he lost control of his body, he would become a monster, a complete monster.

"..."

In a trance, the ancestral bishop seemed to have glimpsed his own premature end.
