Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

The golden light flashes and the light overflows.

The next moment, "Hyena"'s eyes turned white, and the strong light once again deprived him of his vision.

--boom! ! !

Lightning thunder fell from the sky again, hitting the hyena's body accurately.

In its blur of consciousness, the hyena can no longer feel its own pain.

He could only vaguely see the sacred, golden tribulation thunder, like a giant spear, nailing him to the ground.

The right side of the hyena's chest was completely penetrated. This time the lightning strike avoided the heart, causing the hyena to be on the verge of death, but it did not die immediately.

His consciousness continued to sink and dissipate, and "Hyena" felt that his eyelids seemed to be heavier than ever before, and they were falling downwards like heavy gates.

In a daze, the hyena heard the sound of footsteps - tap, tap, coming from in front of him unhurriedly, with a steady rhythm like a war drum.

He raised his head, and the dazzling golden light made him unconsciously raise his hands to cover his eyes.

"...Ha, the black-toothed hyena."

A contemptuous voice came from in front of the hyena.

The hyena then moved away the hand covering his eyes, and he saw clearly the figure of the person in front of him.

He wore an all-black open robe and a pitch-black mask, and his true appearance could not be seen through.

However, he was holding a miniature thunder gun with golden light flowing out in his hand, and the tiny lightning crackled and exploded, making the hyena feel intense heart palpitations.

Suddenly, the hyena felt that his heart was as hot as fire. That was where the "Silver Dial Compass" was stored.

The hyena looked surprised. In the unequal confrontation, he took out the "Silver Dial Compass". The mercury needle in the compass suddenly began to tremble crazily and no longer had a clear direction.

A bad premonition quickly appeared in the hyena's mind.

The hyenas know that the "silver dial compass" has lost its direction, which just means that it is infinitely close to the "target", and their spirituality has tended to coincide.

Fear spread quickly, the hyena's pupils shrank suddenly, and the cold fact appeared in his mind——

The man in front of him, a black-faced man wearing a mask whose true appearance could not be seen clearly, turned out to be the target of their "Black Fang" mission!

"The fourth level of destiny... you actually... are the fourth level of destiny!"

This was far beyond the intelligence the hyenas had gotten.

Originally, according to what the "fallen prophet" saw from the revelation of the Mother Goddess, the priest wearing priest robes and riding towards the main city of Songyuan could only have a "three-fold destiny" at most!

He can never be the 'priest' of the church. The information of all clergymen above the fourth level of destiny in the 'Holy Court' church should be under their control!

"...This is impossible, this, this is impossible!"

The hyena roared hysterically, and he finally realized that even if the "Blood Owl" had not been attacked by the powerful old man before, he and the Blood Owl, two "third-level destiny" extraordinary beings, would never be two "fourth-level destiny" The opponent of "Destiny"!

"We must tell the 'Executioner'... we must send out the 'Hunter'!"

The hyena's teeth chattered, and the strong sense of danger of approaching death actually made him endure the pain caused by cutting off his left leg, and stood up tremblingly.

The dagger he held in his right hand quickly emitted an extremely dense black mist, which quickly condensed into a slender shape.

It was the hound's long knife lingering in the black mist. The hyena slammed the long knife to the ground, replaced the broken left leg, and quickly fled away from the man, running very fast.

As the "hyena", he lay down at the same time, grabbing the ground with his free left hand to control the direction of the sprint.

Although "Hyena" is a warrior of [Ku Tu], his special talent and beast-like training also give him an extremely terrifying sprint speed.

His figure quickly shrank in the black-faced man's field of vision and almost disappeared.

However, the black-faced man did not pursue him. Instead, he nodded and recited a prayer silently, and then assumed a posture ready to "throw".

He drew up his waist and took a lunge, switching the miniature thunder gun in his left hand to his right hand, and poured his own spirituality into it.

The thunder gun expanded rapidly, accompanied by the sound of sizzling and exploding electricity, and at the same time emitting a scorching light.

The next moment, he suddenly threw his right hand forward, and the thunder gun came out instantly, flashing with dazzling light in the air, and flew towards the hyena's back.

The terrifying thunder gun pierced the air, dragging its slender light tail, and flew down in the direction of the hyena.

--boom! ! !

Before the hyena completely escaped, the thunder gun caught up with him and penetrated his abdomen.

Then, taking the location where the thunder gun hit as the origin, a violent spiritual shock exploded instantly, completely swallowing up the hyena's body and completely annihilating it.

There was no bloodshed, and there was no horrific scene of broken flesh flying everywhere. The final explosion wiped out the surrounding area, leaving nothing behind except cracks, deep pits and dust on the ground.

"..."

When he witnessed the moment when the "hyena" was killed, the black-faced man finally took off his mask, and the young voice let out a heartfelt sigh.

…

"...So strong."

Luo Xiu raised his right hand and looked at it for a long time, murmuring.

It's the same as using "Thunder of Judgment", but the feel is completely different from the three-fold destiny!

The control of spirituality and the power of performing holy magic have been greatly improved compared to before. It is a complete qualitative transformation, and it is truly an absolute crushing at the "transcendent" level!

This is the first time he has really taken action since he was promoted to the "Fourth Destiny".

Luo Xiu could actually kill the hyena faster, but this was more of an experiment than a "battle".

He did not use any extra holy arts, only the standard three-combo of "Thunder of Judgment" left the Black Fang's "Hyena" no room to struggle.

This was an absolute crushing blow. When he was at the "Triple Fate", he could kill those "Black Fangs" alone, but it would never be as easy as it is now.

Feeling the reality of becoming stronger, joy quietly burst out in Luo Xiu's heart.

So he put on the mask again, walked quickly to the position before the hyena, and checked if there was anything left.

The "hyena" was gone, and the killing reward jumping in the mailbox had truly confirmed his death.

However, he was carrying something else, something extra, and Luo Xiu was interested in it.

Suddenly, at the edge of his vision, a faint blue light flowed, and Luo Xiu turned his head to look.

It was a compass, which slipped from the "hyena" as it ran away and rolled to the side of the road.

The blue moonlight shone on the crystal arc wall on its surface, and the reflected light was just keenly noticed by Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu walked over and leaned over to pick up the compass.

Inside the compass, the mercury attached to the spirit was jumping irregularly, appearing quite chaotic and manic.

"Well, this should be something made by the enemy's "fortune teller" that can lock my approximate position."

Luo Xiu made a quick judgment, but did not destroy the thing in a hurry, but put it into the storage bracelet.

This was the first time that "Black Fang" tried to assassinate, and Luo Xiu survived the first round without any danger.

At least within one day, the enemy will not take action again, which makes Luo Xiu relatively relieved.

He began to plan some plans for the future in his mind.

While thinking, Luo Xiu patted the dust on his clothes and walked back to the Wolf Hunting Tavern.

...

Wolf Hunting Tavern

When Luo Xiu returned here, he saw the owner of the tavern, the former "Knight of the Throne" Isaac Neves of the Supreme, sitting on a bench.

He crossed his hands across his chest, his face cold and serious.

When he saw the guest who had just stayed in the hotel the day before come back, Isaac's wolf-like eyes quickly anchored on him.

"You came back at the right time."

Isaac said in a low voice, "Hmph, I smell it. It's on you, there is the smell of new blood."

"Really?" Luo Xiu spread his hands, put on a helpless expression on his face, and said, "This may be because a mouse broke into my room, and I had to get up and drive it away."

"..."

"Actually, this is nothing, little guest."

"I should thank you for cleaning up those filthy things for my tavern."

Isaac said in a flat voice, but soon, he changed the subject and asked:

"...Are you a 'priest'?"

"..."

"I am." Luo Xiu nodded and smiled.

The owner of the tavern, Isaac Neves, was a [Supreme] Throne Knight of the same rank as himself. Luo Xiu knew that once some extraordinary things were revealed, it would be difficult to hide them from his eyes.

Luo Xiu was not prepared to hide his fate. He was a [Glorious] priest. Letting Isaac discover it himself was more "real and credible" than telling him from his own mouth.

Isaac said expressionlessly:

"From the moment you stepped into the tavern, I knew you were a 'superhuman', but I didn't know what your destiny was."

"...Now, I finally know, but I still can't see through you."

Isaac's sharp eyes then stared straight at Luo Xiu and asked:

"So, 'Holy Clerk' who came from afar, what is the purpose of your coming to Songyuan City?"

Feeling a strong sense of vigilance, Luo Xiu shrugged his shoulders helplessly and replied:

"Knight of the [Supreme], you should understand that I am only acting as the 'Holy Judge'."

"..."

"The duties of the 'Holy Judge'..." Isaac chewed on these words.

Suddenly, Isaac's old voice smiled and said in a lazy tone:

"Haha, forget it...this is not my business."

"You go back and rest. If anyone comes to ask what happened, I will tell them that I crushed those insects to death."

"--In the name of the [Supreme]." Isaac added.

"..."

"...Thank you."

Luo Xiu nodded, thanking Isaac for his understanding, and then passed by him and returned to the Wolf Hunting Tavern.

...

The lights in the tavern were very dim. The few oil lamps only provided a few local illuminations, and the corners were still dark.

Luo Xiu's fingertips shone with light, replacing the illumination of the oil lamps, and he walked lightly up to the second floor.

The doors of other rooms were closed, and long but heavy snoring sounds came from them from time to time. Luo Xiu quickly found his room, took out the key, and unlocked the door.

"Meow~"

A cat's meow, which meant welcome, came from the window.

Intis had returned first and was waiting in the room.

Before, when "Throne Knight" Isaac and "Lord" were fighting with the assassins of Black Fang at the same time, Intis, who had transformed into a spirit cat, quietly stood on the treetops high up, and had a panoramic view of the battlefields on both sides.

Intis, who witnessed the two crushing battles, was filled with shock in her mind - those two "Black Fang" assassins, they and herself, were extraordinary people at the same extraordinary level!

They could be wiped out so easily, which is the most true portrayal of the power above the power!

The previous scene deepened Intis's desire for power and her loyalty to the "Lord".

"You saw it, Intis."

As Luo Xiu said, he closed the door and locked it.

"This is why I chose to stay here."

With the former [Supreme] Throne Knight as a bodyguard, this place is a reliable "safe zone" for Luo Xiu.

Players in the previous life regarded this place as a "holy land" - in order to escape the pursuit of the hostile guild, "Throne Knight" Isaac often acted as their shield.

In addition, there is also the celebrity effect that Isaac personally has.

Even though Isaac is a retired knight, he has considerable influence among the current [Supreme] people.

Those who can become "Throne Knights" are definitely not ordinary people. They not only need talent, but also need to have a noble background and absolute loyalty to the empire.

In addition, they need to maintain hellish training and experience decades of life-threatening trials on the battlefield.

Only after they have certain military merits and a certain prestige and status in the Knights of the Nation, they are qualified to become "Throne Knights".

These are the true "nobles" who combine "talent", "perseverance" and "background", all three of which are indispensable.

And every [Supreme] worshiper who becomes a "Throne Knight" still enjoys many rights in the empire even if they retire.

Isaac, the former "Throne Knight", of course also enjoys these rights.

Even with his prestige, if someone dared to attack his tavern in groups without regard for their lives, he could raise his arm and call a group of active or retired [Supreme] people on the spot to wipe out all the enemies.

Therefore, in a sense, for Luo Xiu, Isaac's "Wolf Hunting Tavern" is basically equivalent to "absolute safety".

And the reason why this retired knight wants to run a tavern here is simply because of interest.

——"Being able to drink wine happily" is exactly what the knights in the Knights' Order want to do but cannot do, and Isaac took action for it.

…

While recalling these memories of his previous life, Luo Xiu had already sat on the edge of the bed and took out the compass he had picked up before from his bracelet.

That was the compass that Black Fang "Hyena" dropped.

The panel quickly gave the identification result-"Silver Sundial Compass", a prop with special spirituality attached, has the function of locking the position of a special target, and comes from the hands of [Lost] believers.

"Sure enough..." Luo Xiu murmured.

The two Black Fang assassins, they can only lock their exact position and direction through this compass...

Luo Xiu understood, he immediately picked up a ball of essence from his memory and extracted the content contained in it.

That was the "ancient inheritance" given to him by the "Great Arbitrator" Landauer before - "The Prisoner of the Thinker"!

Luo Xiu has not really learned this inherited skill yet, but just saved it in his memory first.

The learning prompt appeared on the panel, Luo Xiu paid the experience and started to learn the reading bar.

The knowledge of "The Prisoner of the Thinker" was slowly imprinted in his mind. For Luo Xiu, this process was like unzipping a compressed package and classifying it into a special memory interval.

After waiting for a while, "The Prisoner of the Thinker" was officially learned, and its related content also appeared on the panel.

[The Prisoner of the Thinker (ancient inheritance, lv.1): Construct a counter-barrier deep in the soul, which can counter the detection, divination, prophecy and pre-induction from hostility. When the counterattack takes effect, the "divinity" is judged. If the "divinity" is higher than the opponent, the opponent will be impacted at the soul level...】

"...Good guy." Luo Xiu smiled and whispered softly.

With the "Prisoner of the Thinker", he no longer needs to worry about his whereabouts being passively exposed.

Luo Xiu then tried to build a soul barrier according to the guidance of the inherited knowledge.

Let the spirituality flow according to the guided circuit, Luo Xiu felt that a red wall seemed to be gradually built in his mind.

That is the barrier of counterattack... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and he picked up the "Silver Sundial Compass" at the same time to observe the changes on the dial.

The mercury that was originally beating non-stop, as if it had lost all its vitality in an instant when Luo Xiu's counterattack barrier was formed, there was no movement.

A pool of mercury was quietly deposited in the groove, just like all ordinary mercury.

"Well..." Luo Xiu nodded, and he immediately removed the counterattack barrier built in his mind.

As the barrier disappeared, the mercury became active again, jumping wildly in the compass.

Luo Xiu stared at the compass for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he realized something, so he put the compass back into his bracelet and stopped building a new barrier.

Luo Xiu had roughly understood the principle by which the enemy locked him, and had prepared a set of real uses for the counter-barrier.

For him, there was no rush now, and he immediately built a counter-barrier.

Letting the enemy continue to send out "Black Fang" while he continued to stay here and complete the hunt was the most profitable plan.

In the hidden mission [The Stained Wail], the progress of the mission "Kill Black Fang" has reached (1/10); and when the skill "Glorious Judgment" kills "Hyena", 3 free attribute points are also given.

Now the initiative has come to Luo Xiu, and he can control the guidance of the enemy, which is a huge advantage.

And those "Black Fang" assassins sent by the enemy are all experience packs delivered to his door, so why not eat them!

After quickly receiving the experience reward for killing "Hyena" and turning off the panel, Luo Xiu lay back on the bed contentedly, with a subtle arc at the corner of his mouth and a happy smile on his face.

…

A dark camp hidden outside Songyuan City.

"Executioner" Koros, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the long table in front of him.

Several hanging lamps made of black iron were placed on the table, and a ball of blue light and fire floated up and down in the hanging lamps.

Suddenly, the flame of a hanging lamp on the side began to dim and quickly went out.

A moment later, the flame of the hanging lamp on the other side also quickly went out, and a wisp of gray smoke came out of it and soon disappeared.

"'Blood Owl' and 'Hyena'... they are dead."

Koros frowned and tapped the table with his fingers, making a "thump, thump" sound.

"They died at the same time..."

"..."

"Is it a coincidence that they can be killed at the same time?"

Koros murmured, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.

"But this at least tells me one thing."

"The other party is a four-fold destiny, or is protected by a four-fold destiny extraordinary..."

Koros thought quickly in his mind, and at the same time, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"... just in time."

Koros turned his head slightly, glanced at the humble figure behind him, and said:

"Get ready, prophet, prepare your divination ceremony."

"I want you to do a new divination immediately."

...
