Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

It was not until he confirmed that the Ancestral Bishop was truly dead that Luo Xiu felt the tearing pain coming from his body.

Before, when the Ancestral Bishop attacked Luo Xiu for the last time, although Luo Xiu survived from the Ancestral Bishop with the "Sealed Coffin", he still suffered extremely serious injuries.

"Sealed Coffin" is not immune to damage, but only locks blood; and the damage from the Ancestral Bishop's dying counterattack was enough to kill Luo Xiu on the spot!

After receiving a fatal blow from the Ancestral Bishop, the "Sealed Coffin" allowed Luo Xiu to recover half of his health. However, the loss of the other half of his health, the pain contained in it, required Luo Xiu to bear it firmly.

"——hiss..."

The fierce pain bit towards Luo Xiu like a tide. Luo Xiu's expression gradually became ferocious. He quickly completed the "Healing Spell" prayer and applied treatment to himself.

After completing two consecutive treatments, Luo Xiu felt a little better, and he thought about his current situation.

Now the main problem has been eliminated, and he has successfully obtained the last knife of "Ancestor Bishop" Sandos according to the previous plan. Everything is going smoothly according to the established plan.

However, [Hidden Mission: Heretic Disaster (Nightmare Difficulty)], this mission has not yet popped up the completion prompt - the other lost believers of the "Original Sect" are still resisting, but it is only a matter of time to completely eliminate these pagans.

"By the way..." Luo Xiu suddenly remembered another thing.

Although "Ancestor Bishop" Sandos is dead, the "God" he summoned - "King of the Ancestral Spirit" is still fighting with Fabian's "Double-winged Angel" Herag.

As the "King of the Ancestral Spirit" of the "God", His power source is not the Ancestral Bishop. Although there is a contractual relationship between Him and the contractor, He still prefers to be an independent individual.

Luo Xiu looked around, looking for the figure of Bishop Fabian.

As he expected, Bishop Fabian did not come to check on him immediately, but went straight to another battlefield close to the barrier of the "Lightless Cage".

Bishop Fabian was going to assist his "Double-winged Angel" Herag to complete the final kill of the "King of Ancestral Spirits".

At this moment, Fabian had already reached halfway.

"..."

Luo Xiu thought about it, but still shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​cooperating with Bishop Fabian.

He had basically used up all his life-saving trump cards. If one of the three accidentally fired a gun, he would most likely die there.

Although, Luo Xiu was indeed very greedy and received another "King of Ancestral Spirits".

...But after thinking about it, Luo Xiu still suppressed such thoughts and turned his attention to other places on the battlefield.

At this time, people on both sides of the "Original Sect" and the "Church" suffered casualties. The tense battle continued, and Luo Xiu soon found his next target.

—— "Spirit Priest" Frosa who was fighting fiercely with Priest Leonard!

That was the disciple of the Bishop of the Ancestral Spirits, and Luo Xiu had a relatively deep impression of him.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Xiu ran towards the direction of Priest Leonard. The long sickle in his hand also emitted an increasingly deep scarlet light.

This was the final end of this invasion war.

…

…

Night.

Sina City, Holy See Church.

Inner courtyard of the Glorious Church.

When the last pagan who believed in [Lost] fell, the invasion of the "Original Sect" ended with a tragic defeat.

Bishop Fabion, he had cooperated with his "two-winged angel" Herag to kill the "King of the Ancestral Spirits" Malves.

But after that, Fabion and his angels completely lost their ability to fight.

From Fabion's perspective, he even felt that the "King of the Ancestral Spirits" Malves was a much more difficult enemy to deal with than the Bishop of the Ancestral Spirits.

As "gods", they have many abilities close to "laws", and their various attributes have also been greatly enhanced.

Fortunately, the ancestral bishop, who was the "contractor", has died. Otherwise, even if the "king of ancestral spirits" could be killed, he could be summoned and resurrected again with the spirituality of the ancestral bishop.

On Luo Xiu's side, he killed a "priest" and three "favored ones" of the "original sect" in the subsequent purge.

In Luo Xiu's mailbox panel, the killing rewards from these enemies have turned into red dots that keep flashing, indicating his fruitful harvest this time.

"..."

"Ah..."

When the dust settled, Luo Xiu's face finally showed a satisfied smile.

He couldn't wait to wait until the events here were over, and then quickly calculate the rich harvest of this battle and open the box with passion.

...

At the same time, Luo Xiu noticed a rustling sound of footsteps coming from behind him.

Luo Xiu turned around and saw the two figures he expected.

That was Priest Leonard, and Bishop Fabion was beside him.

However, Priest Leonard supported Bishop Fabion with one hand, and the two old men seemed to be trembling at this time.

"Priest, and... Bishop."

Luo Xiu bowed slightly to them, and put his hands in front of his chest in a right triangle "praying" gesture, "Holy Light Eternal Bath..."

"...Luo Xiu."

Leonard's face was covered with black lines, and he seemed to be quite unhappy with Luo Xiu's previous actions.

"I have clearly warned you not to approach the 'Ancestral Spirit Bishop' rashly!"

As he spoke, Leonard's expression gradually softened.

"But, as long as you're okay. Well, as long as you're okay..."

Priest Leonard, the sullenness on his face gradually faded away, and turned to gloomy sadness.

Only then did Luo Xiu realize that Leonard was covered in blood at this time, and the originally neat priest's robe was in tatters, revealing the reflection of the half-damaged knight's armor he was wearing next to his body, as well as a shockingly deep and deep wound. A wound.

It was only at this moment that Luo Xiu once again truly felt the cruelty of the invasion by the conspiracy organization that he had experienced before.

Leonard is still alive, but in the inner courtyard, there are more "priests" who have turned into cold corpses.

Although the heretics of the "original sect" were completely defeated, the church also suffered heavy casualties.

When the statistics were compiled later, Luo Xiu could already guess that he would hear a heartbreaking number.

…

"..."

"It turns out that you are Luo Xiu..."

Another voice came from Leonard's side.

Fabian forced a smile on his face and said to Luo Xiu:

"You and Anthony have come to see me before."

"...I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you before."

"..."

A bishop would actually apologize to himself?

Luo Xiu was surprised. He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I haven't introduced myself to you..."

Fabian smiled, shook his head, and stopped extending the topic.

"It was all thanks to you before, kid."

Bishop Fabian smiled and said with approval, "If you hadn't taken action in time, I wouldn't even be standing here now."

"So, Leonard... don't be too harsh on this kid..."

"..."

Luo Xiu inexplicably formed a perception of Bishop Fabian like an old father.

He couldn't help but have such thoughts.

In the previous life, although the players who were "Adventors" knew the identity and name of Bishop Fabian, at that time, they did not have the qualifications to come into contact with this bishop.

After that, the bishop suddenly died suddenly. In the past, players had only met Bishop Fabian a few times at large celebrations or holy gatherings, but actually didn't know him very well.

As for the many past events about this Bishop Fabian, this is also a blank that no one knows when the plot party players are sorting out the plot about the "Holy Court".

Luo Xiu recalled, with an expression of panic on his face at the same time, and said in a somewhat jerky tone: "No, you are too generous... I just did what I thought I should do."

Upon hearing this, Bishop Fabian was stunned, and then a look of approval appeared on his face.

"Haha, good boy..."

Fabian nodded and said, "Child, actually. At this time, there is no need to be so modest..."

"That's right, Leonard."

"I'm here, Bishop." Leonard replied, and he heard Bishop Fabion say to him:

"Leonard. You will preside over the aftermath of this [Lost] pagan invasion. After sorting out the losses we have suffered, report them to me..."

"I understand, Bishop." Leonard nodded.

Then, Fabian's eyes fell back on Luo Xiu.

"So...Luo Xiu. Can you lend me some time?"

Fabian said with a kind face:

"I want to talk to you."

…

…

Sina City Church, inner courtyard of the church.

The Holy See of Bishops.

Luo Xiu supported Bishop Fabian and returned with him to Bishop Fabian's residence on the third floor of the Holy See.

The moment he returned to the bedroom, Fabian's face turned pale. He doubled over suddenly, coughing violently.

"...cough cough!...cough cough cough..."

"..."

Gray, thick blood clots spit out from Fabian's mouth.

He was eroded by the "Grey Blood Curse" of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, and it had reached an extremely serious level.

"...Are you okay, Bishop?"

Luo Xiu expressed concern in a timely manner, but saw that Fabian just shook his head lightly.

"...It doesn't matter, kid. It's just an old habit."

Fabian said this, and he immediately climbed up the wall, sat on the bishop's couch, and looked at Luo Xiu who was still standing in front of him.

"Sit down wherever you like, kid. You don't have to be so formal." Fabien said.

"OK."

Luo Xiu then sat down in front of a square chair in the room.

He raised his gaze at the same time and met Fabian's gaze, waiting for the old bishop to ask something first.

"..."

Fabian was silent for a while, and then said:

"Luo Xiu...Leonard, he has mentioned you to me many times."

"Well, although we have met before, this is the first time for us to have a slightly formal chat like this..."

"Yes, Bishop." Luo Xiu then replied with a smile, "This is my honor."

"Haha, good boy."

Fabion nodded and continued: "Leonard told me that you are the 'Son of Glory'... Well. That's true..."

"Before, when I faced off with the Ancestral Spirit Bishop, was it... the 'Holy Flame Wolf'?"

Fabian finally asked this question.

"...Yes." Luo Xiu nodded.

He began to be cautious in his heart, guarding against possible detection.

Before coming here, Luo Xiu had crushed five "Scarlet Magic Crystals".

However, he did not seem to feel any oppression from the spiritual level.

Bishop Fabian, he seemed to be really just asking himself some questions in a very normal tone.

"..."

"It turns out that's really the case..."

A look of sudden enlightenment appeared on Fabian's face.

"I can feel the sacred and fiery aura it exudes...and that seems to be what the 'Ancestral Spirit Bishop' is afraid of."

"Child...can I see it?" Fabian suddenly requested.

Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"certainly."

With that said, Luo Xiu began to pray, summoning Fenrir, the "Holy Flame Wolf".

After a burst of golden light, the figure of the "Holy Flame Wolf" appeared in front of Fabian.

That is indeed a very majestic, sacred and solemn holy beast.

Bishop Fabion, with his deep eyes, began to look at Fenrir's figure carefully.

After a while, Fabian's brows spread outwards, and he murmured to himself: "No wonder, no wonder... my child, it is also a 'spirit'-like holy beast..."

"A 'spirit'-like holy beast?" Luo Xiu was a little stunned.

This was the first time he heard such a statement.

"Yes... that is a life composed entirely of 'spirituality'."

Fabian slowly explained, "They have no fixed form, just like the wandering spirits summoned by the ancestral spirit bishop before... hmm."

"You saw it too, it was chaos and disorder."

Fabian pondered for a while before continuing:

"It's just, child. The holy beast that made a contract with you, the 'Holy Flame Wolf'...it seems a bit special."

"I can roughly recognize that it is also a 'spirit'. Therefore, it can invade the body of the ancestral spirit bishop unimpeded like before."

"It's just that it can take on the form of a 'wolf', and it does have concrete and realistic characteristics..."

"..."

When he said this, a look of confusion gradually appeared on Fabian's face, as if he didn't understand something.

"……child."

After thinking for a while, Fabian gently shook his head to eliminate many distracting thoughts from his mind, and then said to Luo Xiu:

"My child, cherish it. You should understand how rare it is to be able to establish a contract with a sacred beast at your current level of destiny."

"...Thank you for your teaching, Lord Bishop." Luo Xiu nodded in response.

Of course Bishop Fabian didn't know that Fenrir's original form was actually the "Nightmare Wolf"... It was impossible for Luo Xiu to confess the truth. However, from Fabian's words, he seemed to have found some inspiration.

A life composed entirely of "spirituality"... Luo Xiu pondered. At the same time, he heard Fabian ask a second question.

"By the way, kid...the golden palace from before..."

"Did you do that?" Fabian asked slowly.

What he was more concerned about was still this issue.

Previously, Fabian had seen Luo Xiu pass the light groups carrying the holy magic through the "golden eyes" that appeared along with the illusory hall.

So he had some guesses.

"...Yes. That is indeed the holy technique I use."

Luo Xiu took a deep breath, and then replied to Bishop Fabian in a calm and slightly guilty tone:

"That was a new domain holy art that I unintentionally tried to create using the knowledge of the [Holy Domain] and the [Sainted One]..."

"I don't know all of its effects. However, it seems to have some kind of 'reversal' ability."

"The ability to 'reverse'?" Fabian was very interested and began to listen carefully.

"Your Majesty, this may be a bit overstepping, please forgive me... At that time, I just felt that the situation was already very dangerous..."

After completing the first layer of armor, Luo Xiu also observed Bishop Fabian's reaction.

Bishop Fabian, his attitude is still as kind as ever, and there is no big change.

Luo Xiu then gradually explained with confidence: "That 'eye' seems to be some kind of mark. And when some specific sacred arts with supporting and auxiliary effects, the light group carrying their power passes through that eye When , it will have the completely opposite effect..."

"..."

Luo Xiu patiently explained some of the functions of "Holy Abyss Descending" to Bishop Fabian.

"..."

"So that's it..."

Fabian's eyes gradually brightened, and he murmured, "In other words, when the holy spell of 'healing' passes through that eye, it will turn into 'corrosion'... and 'prayer' and 'blessing' ', it will increase the trauma suffered by the enemy..."

"……child."

Fabian's eyes once again stared at Luo Xiu's face.

The surrounding air seemed to be stagnant for an instant, and Fabion's sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce Luo Xiu's heart.

Luo Xiu suddenly felt a strong sense of tension in his heart, as if he was waiting for some kind of imminent judgment.

Bishop Fabion...his next words will determine whether I want to continue to stay in the church...

Luo Xiu began to make calculations in his heart.

If Fabian had severely reprimanded him and thought that his behavior was tantamount to blasphemy, Luo Xiu wouldn't mind and had even prepared a backdoor to escape from the church.

"..."

"You did great, kid."

Bishop Fabian finally showed an indifferent smile on his face and said to Luo Xiu:

"It's no exaggeration to say that this is an extremely creative feat."

"It's just, child. What I want to remind you is that you must remember that this unique holy art must never be revealed in front of the 'Purists'. This is my sincere advice..."

"..."

When he heard Bishop Fabian's answer, a big stone in Luo Xiu's heart finally fell to the ground.

Bishop Fabian, he is gratified and approves of his creation of the holy art of "Holy Abyss Descending"...

However, he did add a new and kind reminder in the end.

Purity faction... Luo Xiu pondered, a solemn expression appeared on his face at the same time, and he nodded heavily.

"I understand, Bishop."

"I will follow your teachings."

…

…

When Luo Xiu left Fabian's bishop's seat, Priest Leonard had just completed the reckoning of casualties.

Luo Xiu could see from a distance the expression on Leonard's face that was full of vicissitudes of life and sadness.

The number of casualties and the extent of damage may be far more serious than expected...

Luo Xiu thought about it, he did not dare to say hello to Leonard at this time, so he watched him from a distance, watching him go from another way to the Bishop's Holy See in Fabian.

After watching Leonard's back disappear, Luo Xiu continued to move towards the entrance of the inner courtyard of the church.

The "lightless cage" that shrouded the edge of the church gradually disappeared without a trace. Luo Xiu then left the church, changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance in the alley, and walked towards the Bailing Hotel.

…

When he came near the gate of Bailing Hotel, Luo Xiu confirmed that no one was following him, then walked into the hotel and returned to his room.

After this whole day's thrilling journey, Luo Xiu saw the soft white bed again, and suddenly felt extremely warm.

Luo Xiu then closed and locked all the doors and windows, then lay on the bed and opened his task and mailbox panels.

He's getting ready for a big, feel-good settlement!

This covers the rewards for completing a "Nightmare" difficulty hidden mission, the settlement of kill rewards for one "Five-fold Fate", one "Four-fold Fate", and three "Third-fold Fate" heretics!

Luo Xiu has never carried out such a wealthy settlement! He only felt that his heart seemed to be beating violently at this time, expressing the strong excitement without any concealment.

During special periods, Luo Xiu no longer calls for Intis, but instead performs metaphysical sacrifices to Connor and the new sacrifice Anthony as usual——

"I sacrifice Connor and Anthony's ten years of emotional life..."

"Bless me for shipment, bless me for shipment..."

"..."

Luo Xiu only had to replay the "Good Luck" from his previous life in his mind, so that it would be a complete metaphysical card drawing ceremony.

…

After waiting for a moment, Luo Xiu finally clicked on the first settlement.

[Kill "Natural Beloved" Goenya (lv.23) and gain 964 basic experience points]

[The level difference between "Nature's Blessed One" Goenya (lv.23) and you is 3 levels]

[Leap-level kill! Get 30% extra experience points...]

["Seering Soul" takes effect, gain 20% additional experience points]

[Reward settlement, actually gained 1446 experience points! 】

【……】

After the first settlement, no expertise reward was obtained.

However, this was within Luo Xiu's expectation.

Generally speaking, when defeating an enemy of the same level, the probability of obtaining expertise is generally very slim. Unless the opponent has a perverted template that can become a boss, the kill reward will be relatively low.

However, the first "Triple Fate" kill reward settlement was just an appetizer for Luo Xiu.

At the same time, Luo Xiu began to calculate the kill rewards for the second "Triple Destiny" transcendent.

The result was the same as last time, only a small amount of experience points were given.

However, when it was settled for the third time, in addition to experience points, a new expertise really emerged.

——[Gazing at the Ancient God (Rare)]!

[Those who stare at the ancient gods (rare): Your power comes from your long-term persistence in gazing at the remaining illusions of the ancient gods. You gain insights from it, and your affinity for spirituality and resistance to unknown existences have made a qualitative leap. 】

[Your "divine" attribute is +3, and your "resistance" attribute is +3. You have natural resistance and immunity to the malice of some unknown existences. 】

【……】

"..."

"……ah?"

Luo Xiu was stunned. He thought seriously about the background and significance of this expertise for three seconds.

"Divinity" and "Resistance" attributes +3, this is probably the only substantial improvement that Luo Xiu can see at present... Luo Xiu pondered for a while, and then put this new specialty aside for the time being.

He rubbed his hands, and then clicked on the reward settlement for killing the "Spirit Priest" from the "Fourfold Destiny" Extraordinary, [Lost]!

[Kill "Spirit Priest" Frosa (lv.38), get 3213 basic experience points! ]

["Spirit Priest" Frosa (lv.38) is 18 levels higher than you]

[Over-level kill! Get 180% extra experience points...]

["Scorching Soul" takes effect, get 20% extra experience points]

[Reward settlement, actually get 9639 experience points! ]

[...]

["Spirit Priest" Frosa is a mad evil level boss]

[Mad evil level boss killing reward is being generated...]

[...]

"...Here it comes!"

Luo Xiu's eyes were bright, and he began to rub his hands excitedly.

After all, he is the disciple of the "Ancestor Bishop", and it is only natural that good things will burst out from him!

[Kill rewards generated]

[……]

[Get the expertise "God's Patron (Epic)", free attribute points * 5]!

[God's Patron (Epic): You are loved and favored by the gods. A certain god thinks that you are an indispensable part of him. ]

[Get basic corrections of "divinity" attribute +4, "constitution" attribute +4, and "perception" attribute +4. At the same time, you will gain higher health and mana growth. The health and mana obtained through the "constitution" and "divinity" attributes will gain an additional 1:5 growth rate. ]

[You are more likely to attract the attention of unknown beings. ]

[……]

"Are all the followers of [Lost] so wild?"

Luo Xiu held his forehead. He was originally happily opening the box, but he inexplicably had an ominous premonition.

First, the warrior who "gazed at the ancient gods"... Then, the fierce man who was regarded as an indispensable part by the "gods"...

However, the improvement given by this newly acquired "epic" expertise was quite good, so Luo Xiu ignored some weird things for the time being.

After that, the only things waiting for Luo Xiu to settle were [Hidden Mission: Heretic Disaster] and the killing reward settlement of "Ancestor Bishop".

After a while of brewing, Luo Xiu first opened the task settlement interface of [Hidden Mission: Heretic Disaster (Nightmare Difficulty)].

"... Completed."

In his mind, Luo Xiu gave a clear instruction on the panel.

...

Thanks to the book friend 150123171305356 for feeding 500 points!
