Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

In this space, the only thing that can be seen is the gray that overflows to the end of the vision; and the only thing that can be heard is Luo Xiu's own heartbeat.

Luo Xiu just stood there, letting the thick gray fog gradually wrap him up. If he hadn't been counting his heartbeats silently, he would hardly be able to perceive the passage of time.

Luo Xiu held his breath and walked forward.

Suddenly, a hazy golden light flashed across the corner of his eyes, corresponding to the faint light stream in the gray fog not far away.

There! Luo Xiu's eyes condensed.

At the same time, he suddenly felt that from the direction of the light, a surge of spirituality was sweeping towards him.

It was not full of hostility, but rather like some kind of invitation.

And this is the beginning of the "test" of the gods.

When he sensed the other party's breath, Luo Xiu quickly completed his prayer and dropped the first "Thunder of Judgment" at the origin of the flashing light!

Luo Xiu, who knew the test process of the "False Guardian", attacked Him without hesitation.

——Boom! The thunder struck down, dispersing the thick gray fog, revealing the body with glittering light.

The golden light suddenly bloomed, unfolding into a thick golden round shield, resisting and dissolving the thunder that fell from the sky from the front.

The light escaped from the shield, illuminating the surroundings even brighter.

From it, Luo Xiu was able to see the complete figure of the god he summoned - "False Guardian".

It was a body condensed by gray light, and His body was shrouded in thick gray mist, and many details on His body could not be seen clearly.

From His vaguely human-shaped torso, two slender arms stretched out from the "gray fog" lingering around. The left arm is a completely virtual gray shadow, and its end is flashing a deep and rich gray-white light. The right arm is a substantial arm shaped like "amber", and the big hand at the end is flashing a golden chaotic light.

And the huge round shield in the hand surrounded by "golden" is transformed by the power of "illusion". That is one of the manifestations of the ability of the "illusion guardian" - transforming "illusion" into "guardian". He is the "illusion" god born for this purpose.

From the perspective of the gods, he is the guardian of the high-level gods of the "illusion" series, and is their most solid and reliable armor and shield.

And in the palm of his right hand, the golden spiritual color is also the embodiment of his spiritual belonging from his summoner, Luo Xiu, a [Glorious] priest.

Looking at the illusory "illusion guardian" in front of him, which exudes terrifying spiritual fluctuations, Luo Xiu couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"This time, the summoning of the 'God'... is the right one..." Luo Xiu murmured, while his eyes were fixed on the "Void Guardian", waiting for His next move.

After a brief confrontation, the "Void Guardian" finally made the first sound:

"——Amber, Amber, Amber..."

"..."

"——Amber!"

Swish! The God who kept repeating "Amber" and the terrifying spirituality emanating from Him rose again. The golden round shield transformed by His right hand had returned to a golden chaotic light surge and quickly condensed into a new thing.

The current "Void Guardian" has not yet regarded Luo Xiu as an object that can be "contracted". All extraordinary people who want to establish a contract with the "God" need to go through this step unless they have a good relationship from the beginning.

Luo Xiu's thoughts were flying in his mind. He saw the changes in the right hand of the "Void Guardian" and began to take the next step.

He then took out the "Poison Bite" and quickly summoned the "Nightmare Wolf" to this gray space, and then completed the chanting of a new skill.

After completing the chanting, Luo Xiu raised the "Poison Bite" high, and part of his spirituality immediately pulled out a thread and hooked it to the "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir who had just summoned.

——"Devil Incarnation"!

This is a big trump card that Luo Xiu has hidden for a long time, and it has only been used for the first time today.

Fenrir, who was connected by spirituality, immediately turned into a spirit body, and after a surge of purple light, it merged into Luo Xiu's body.

The next moment, a very strong spiritual surge suddenly emanated from Luo Xiu's body. It was visible to the naked eye that all the golden light surges representing the "holy light" spirituality were rapidly turning into the deep purple of the abyss "dark erosion".

Luo Xiu's pupils also began to change from gold to dark purple, and at the same time, a curved and sharp "devil's horn" slowly emerged from his forehead.

The reason why he chose to use the "Demon Incarnation" in such a situation is that the "False Guardian" summoned by the [Glorious] spirituality has a very high resistance to the "Holy Light" attribute.

The "Demon Incarnation" can convert all the damage caused into "Dark Corrosion", which is exactly the weakness of the "False Guardian".

At the moment when the "Demon Incarnation" was really used, Luo Xiu felt that his originally clear will was hit hard at a certain moment.

The strange and gloomy whispers were circling around his ears, constantly tempting him to give up the "holy" will and fall into the abyss.

However, Luo Xiu, who currently has only two fates in the [Abyss], quickly suppressed the whispers that persuaded him to fall and returned to normal with the advantage of the four fates of [Glorious].

At this time, the "Demon Incarnation" has also fully taken effect, and Luo Xiu has completed the short transformation into a "demon".

Luo Xiu's vigilant eyes then glanced at the "False Guardian" in the field, and in his hands, new things have also condensed.

It was a giant hammer with golden light flowing, and the handle of the hammer was tightly grasped by fingers like amber carvings. Luo Xiu could feel the extremely terrifying power from it.

The next moment, the figure of the "False Guardian" jumped high, and the giant hammer in his hand slammed down to Luo Xiu's position at the same time!

——Bang! The giant hammer fell, shaking on the empty ground, making a deafening explosion.

The gray fog suddenly swirled up, quickly sweeping around the "False Guardian", but within the range of his vision, he did not find the figure of the "devil" before.

Luo Xiu had flashed more than ten meters away, and his left hand simultaneously grasped a thunder gun emitting deep purple lightning, and threw it in the direction of the "False Guardian".

——Bang! In the gap between the "False Guardian" dropping the hammer, the thunder gun accurately hit his body, dispersing most of the gray fog lingering on it.

The purple electric light flowed like a small snake, and at the same time, the true body of the "False Guardian" hidden behind the gray fog was exposed.

It was a huge amber, and inside the amber, a human body with its knees hugged was sealed.

It was a dry, thin human body, with its head buried between its legs and chest, and its true appearance could not be seen. Only its long gray hair like a waterfall could be seen, frozen in the elegance of the sealed moment;

At its neck and the joints of its limbs, each was imprisoned with a ring of misted shackles. The shackles that bound its neck connected its mind, and the shackles on its arms and legs connected its visible limbs, controlling their movements!

Luo Xiu knew that what was sealed in the big amber was the real body of the "False Guardian".

His body is extremely fragile, but the amber that seals or "protects" him is extremely hard, and the thick gray fog that shrouds his illusory limbs constitutes the complete power of the "illusion guardian".

After a "dark erosion" lightning spear was launched, Luo Xiu flew into the air, and a dark wing grew behind him at the same time.

——"Light Wings of Heavenly Punishment"! When Luo Xiu threw the dark erosion lightning spear, he had also completed the chanting of this holy art.

However, in the form of "demon incarnation", the wings that originally had a sacred glow have turned into a deep black, and the power of "holy light" contained in them has also become "dark erosion" symbolizing the abyss.

Swish! Countless feathers burning with black flames fell off from the dark wing and shot towards the direction of the "illusion guardian".

——Boom! Boom boom boom! A violent roar resounded, and the black feather touched the torso of the "False Guardian", and then exploded, leaving a series of dark erosion holes around his body.

"Amber! Amber!" The "False Guardian" was still making a low sound, and the golden hammer in his hand also dissipated and turned into a round shield at the beginning.

At the same time, his left arm, which was lingering in the gray mist, slowly changed color with the surrounding spirituality. The deep purple symbolizing "dark erosion" was gradually infiltrating the outline of the arm. He was intercepting and reproducing the power of "dark erosion" bit by bit.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The bombardment of "Light Wing Sky Punishment" continued. In Luo Xiu's battle panel, dozens of damage items were constantly jumping up.

But Luo Xiu knew that as a "god" of the "ancient spirit" status, the "false guardian" would never be killed so easily.

In fact, until now, the damage caused by Luo Xiu has only worn away his shield, but has not hurt his origin - the "true body" sealed in the big amber.

He is not immune to the trauma of the "origin", but he has a special characteristic - all damage to the "origin" will be borne by his "shield" first, which means that all external attacks on him must break his shield step by step before they can really kill him.

Until the bombardment of the "Light Wings Heavenly Punishment" finally fell silent, the surface of the golden shield in the right hand of the "False Guardian" had already appeared fine cracks.

"——Amber!"

Feeling the disappearance of the attack from the outside world, the golden round shield in the right hand of the "False Guardian" also began to dissolve rapidly, and was about to transform into the shape of other things.

The golden hammer from before has now reappeared in its prototype.

In the left hand of the "illusion guardian", the "dark erosion" power that had been internalized also seeped out like thick droplets, and gradually condensed into another deep purple spiritual round shield.

When the "dark erosion shield" was formed, it meant that all the "dark erosion" attribute damage caused to the "illusion guardian" would be greatly reduced! "Dark erosion" could no longer pose much threat to the "illusion guardian"!

Seeing this, Luo Xiu no longer maintained the form of "demon incarnation".

The "devil's horn" on his forehead quickly disappeared, and the purple light under his eyes condensed into gold again, returning to the sacredness that the "holy judge" should have.

At the same time, Luo Xiu once again raised the "poisonous bite".

In this "epic" staff, the deep green light began to flow rapidly on the surface of the "mad evil magic crystal" at its core.

Luo Xiu lifted the restrictions of the "poison source" and released the inherent skills of the "poisonous bite" at the same time.

——"Toxic Fang"!

Boom! On the body of the "False Guardian", the more than fifty "poison" marks superimposed by the previous intensive attacks all exploded in an instant!

The green light began to move rapidly on the surface of the "False Guardian" like a snake. He had resistance to "holy light" and "dark erosion", but the erosion of "poison" and the trauma of "origin" became the final force to shatter his shield!

In Luo Xiu's vision, when the "Poisoned Fang" erupted, the "False Guardian" stopped condensing the golden hammer in his right hand. The "golden round shield" that had not completely disappeared, the tiny cracks on its surface began to spread rapidly around, and the cracks became larger and deeper.

Finally, at a certain moment later, with a crisp sound like glass breaking, the golden round shield exploded, turning into golden fragments of light that splashed around, and then melted into the gray mist.

As the golden round shield shattered, the body of the "False Guardian" seemed to tremble, and one, two, and dozens of fine cracks appeared on the surface of the huge amber behind the gray fog surrounding him.

"——Amber, Amber..."

The "False Guardian" made a low voice, and the surging spirituality emanating from his body also calmed down at this moment.

He was expressing something to Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu seemed to understand what he meant.

"——Amber, Amber."

[You are my summoner, you broke my shield. ]

"——Amber, Amber Amber..."

[This is my trial, those who cannot break the shield in my hand are not worthy of my protection...]

"——Amber."

[And you passed the test. ]

"——Amber, Amber."

[Now, hold my hand, and the Guardian's Covenant will connect you and me. 】

“…”

After that, the “Void Guardian” stopped making any sound, but took heavy steps, and under the gray fog, he approached Luo Xiu’s position step by step.

Luo Xiu remained alert, waiting for the next move of the “Void Guardian”.

And just as He said, the “Void Guardian” then stretched out his right hand to Luo Xiu.

It was five slender ambers, embedded in the gray fog that formed a groove.

At this moment, Luo Xiu could no longer detect any aggressiveness from the “Void Guardian”. So he followed His words and also stretched out his right hand, tightly holding His amber hand.

At the moment when their palms were holding each other, Luo Xiu suddenly felt that he and the “Void Guardian” had formed a close connection, and the mark of the “contract” was also engraved in the depths of his soul.

The next moment, the “Void Guardian” disappeared, and then the gray space where Luo Xiu was located began to dim, and quickly stepped into the real “Void”.

All kinds of scenes in reality began to reappear in Luo Xiu's vision. He once again saw the bed he was sitting on, the quaint square table beside him, and the cat Intis curled up on the windowsill, staring at him intently.

"I'm back..."

"The contract was successful..."

"..."

When he realized that he had truly returned to reality, Luo Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Luo Xiu couldn't wait to open his character panel and began to carefully check the changes on it.

A "God" slot given by the legendary specialty "Lord of the Spirits" has been occupied by the name of the contracted god "Void Guardian Amber".

"It turns out... His name is 'Amber'..."

Luo Xiu thought to himself, and he opened the attribute panel of "Amber" at the same time.

"Hiss..."

Luo Xiu carefully examined the content of the "Illusion Guardian" panel, and his eyes gradually emitted a strange glow.

"——What a fucking meat!"

Almost subconsciously, Luo Xiu sighed in a voice that only he could hear.

...

Iron Meat! I coded a little late today while tasting the Magic Circle DLC...

Miyazaki Hidetaka, you deserve to die! Chao!
