Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Under Thomas' distant gaze, the body of the "Scorching Sky Dragon" began to crack and turn into ashes inch by inch.

"What's going on..." Thomas murmured in confusion, "That dragon-hunting knight...is a mole?"

"He is a 'demon' summoned by Babron, but he is one of our own?"

"...He had a fight with the officiant Luo Xiu Carlos. Was it staged for Babylon to see?"

"ah?"

"..."

…

Not only Thomas was confused, but Barberon, who was watching the battle from a distance, also had a constipated expression on his face as if he had been hit hard when the "Dragon Hunter Knight" chopped off the head of the Burning Sky Dragon.

"The Sky-Burning Dragon" - that was originally one of Babelun's "natural disaster" trump cards. This puppet made from the remains of an ancient dragon is extremely difficult to kill. No matter how injured it is, as long as it Any head still on the neck can recover from injuries at a terrifying regeneration rate.

There is only one way to kill it - cut off both of its heads at the same time!

This is the secret of the "Scorching Sky Dragon", and it is also the confidence that Babylon relies on to fight against Luo Xiu Carlos.

Originally he was very confident that it would be difficult for Luo Xiu to find an opportunity to cut off the two heads of the "Scorching Dragon" at the same time. However, under the attack of the "Dragon Hunter Knight", Luo Xiu would either escape from the battlefield or be killed by the giant dragon. Or the knight-killing endgame.

The result - "Dragon Hunter" betrayed! At that moment...she betrayed him in front of him!

When he saw this scene, Babelun's brain suddenly shut down. Before he could understand what was happening, he saw the "Dragon Hunter Knight" had climbed onto the chest of the Burning Sky Dragon's body.

Right where the dragon hunting knight landed, another huge, red heart was revealed in the dragon's gradually collapsing golem body.

Without any hesitation, the dragon-hunting knight clenched the long knife with both hands and stabbed down toward the heart!

--puff! A dull sound came out, and as the scarlet air waves dispersed one after another, the dragon hunting knight's aura suddenly increased!

He is a "Dragon Hunting Knight" - his power can be greatly improved by "Dragon Hunting", and the golems made from the remains of ancient dragons picked up by Barberun are naturally hunted by the "Dragon Hunting Knight" within the category.

Suddenly, Babelun suddenly felt his brain twitching. It felt like his nerves were broken. He realized that his spiritual connection with the "Scorching Sky Dragon" and the "Dragon Hunting Knight" was gone in an instant. trace.

——He can no longer sense the breath of the two "natural disaster demon dolls" he just summoned!

The "Dragon Hunter Knight" completely killed the dragon, and with his newly acquired surging power, he completely cut off the connection with Babylon!

In a panic, Barberon took out the magic crystal that originally sealed the "Dragon Hunter" and poured spirituality into it, but did not get any resonance from it.

This made Babylon finally accept the reality in despair——

"Dragon Hunter", he is completely out of Babylon's control! After piercing the dragon's heart with the dragon-hunting sword, he fled the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, and his figure immediately disappeared from Babelun's sight!

Barberun looked at the scene in front of him with angina, and he suddenly felt a heat rushing to his head. Along with the severe pain that seemed to crack his skull, his eyes quickly became bloodshot.

I had a cerebral hemorrhage...

This time it was really a cerebral hemorrhage...

In just a few minutes, he lost two bottles of "natural disaster" golems... This was a very heavy loss for Babelun, and he didn't even understand the reason behind all this!

Just as Babylon was staring at the direction in which the "Dragon Hunter" was escaping with a ferocious expression, he suddenly felt that another unkind gaze was looking at him.

That was the gaze from the other side of the battlefield, and the source of that gaze was Luo Xiu Carlos!

He has already mounted the "Golden Pegasus", waving his sickle with golden light and galloping towards the sky, rushing towards Babelun's position!

"..." Feeling that the threat was approaching, Babelun had no time to think about the losses. He looked around and saw that the battle situation had fallen into irreversible decline.

"Executioner" Koros had been seriously injured by Hubert and retreated first. After Koros retreated, the "Executioner" who originally led the army was also killed under the siege of the Red Maple City Extraordinary. The Dark Army's Failure is a foregone conclusion.

And Koros, who had escaped from Hubert's war hammer, had also issued an order for the entire army to retreat from the rear——

Looking at the increasingly clear figure of Rossiu Carlos, the expression on Barberon's face changed for a while, and finally he took out a corroded whistle and blew it.

Beep--an illusory fog door appeared next to Babelun, and a mixture of black and white light flowed in the center of the fog door.

Babylon looked at Luo Xiu and said in a voice that only he could hear:

"...I admit, Luo Xiu Carlos of Red Maple City, this is your perfect victory."

"I would never have imagined that you could be promoted to a 'saint' in such a short period of time. I don't even know what means you used to get my demon out of my control..."

"Shame, this will definitely be a lifelong shame and a lifelong stain..."

"However, this is not the end, Luo Xiu Carlos..."

"I will definitely come back...when the time comes, I will personally take...your life..."

"..."

Babylon's last voice became illusory and ethereal. When Luo Xiu was riding the Golden Pegasus and was only a hundred meters away from Babylon, Babylon had stepped into the fog gate and disappeared without a trace.

The fog door quickly closed, and when Luo Xiu chased him here, only the remains of the demon doll were left.

…

"call……"

Luo Xiu stood in front of where the Bablon Fog Gate disappeared and let out a long sigh of relief.

He was still a step late, but this was what he expected.

Now, "Executioner" Kross was seriously injured by Hubert and fled, and Babylon also chose to retreat when the situation turned bad. At this time, the Dark Army has become completely leaderless.

After the leaders of the two enemy armies were defeated, the morale of the Red Maple City army suddenly increased sharply, and they split the gradually disintegrating Dark Army into several broken battle groups.

Except for the commanders of the Dark Army who were close to the rear of the battlefield, they received Koros's final order in time and were able to lead the army to retreat safely. Almost half of the Dark Army was deeply surrounded by the Red Maple City army, and they had lost their will to fight. , only a few people were still resisting, but they were quickly annihilated.

Luo Xiu then went to meet Hubert, and together with Hubert, they defeated several "Fourth Fate" leaders or commanders who were still resisting. The knights in the side court took advantage of the situation to push the battle line to the edge, completing the The final round of encirclement.

After that, it was a one-sided dumpling-style massacre - in addition to the more than 30,000 dark troops who successfully evacuated, the more than 70,000 dark troops trapped in the battlefield were gradually eaten away.

Half of them became prisoners, while the other half were killed because of their stubborn resistance. The corpses have been piled up into hills on the battlefield, and the blood has accumulated into rivers, rolling along the cracks.

…

This large-scale war lasted until sunset.

It wasn't until there were no more stubborn enemies left on the battlefield that Lord Nelson, the commander-in-chief, ordered the troops to withdraw and count the results and losses.

The knights of the side court have led the logistics troops to clean up the battlefield, the clergy of the church have begun to treat the wounded, and the warlocks of the Monument Court have gone to recover the loot. Before they calculated the final result of this war, Luo Xiu and Hubert had returned to the city wall.

Looking at the messy battlefield below, Hubert said with some regret:

"...It's a pity that Koros escaped."

"If I keep fighting, I will definitely kill him, but he still escapes... I have no way to restrict his escape, and I actually gave him a chance to recover."

"It's okay, Lord Hubert." Luo Xiu shook his head and comforted him.

"Koros has been seriously injured. He will not and will not dare to make new moves for at least some time. And two-thirds of his army has been annihilated by us. He has temporarily lost the threat to us."

"As for their other 'holy' - 'Hidden Elder' Babelun, he lost two bottles of 'natural disaster' golems in this war, and lost such a powerful weapon. , his threat to us is even lower than the seriously injured Koros."

"We can rest and recuperate for the time being, Lord Hubert. In fact, in my opinion, it is best for us to pursue the victory immediately and annihilate the remaining troops of the Dark Army in one fell swoop, but this depends on the decision of the [Supreme]."

"..."

"...Yeah. You're right, Luo Xiu." Hubert nodded, his frown relaxing a little.

"No matter what, this is a great victory. Let's wait until Lord Nelson and Judge Baines finish counting the results and losses and then see what the next step is."

"I'll go find Baines and talk to him about what's going to happen next. Luo Xiu, just stay here for now. I'll feel more at ease as long as you pay attention to the abnormalities on the battlefield."

After saying that, Hubert turned around and left, walking down the stone stairs of the city wall.

Luo Xiu stood between the battlements of the city wall and gazed out, while spreading out his senses to catch any fish that might have slipped through the net of high-ranking extraordinary beings.

While performing his duties, Luo Xiu was also thinking about other things in his heart.

——This is indeed an undisputed victory. Although it failed to kill Koros and Babylon, from another perspective, keeping them has other uses.

Koros, who was seriously injured, could not run far. In fact, Luo Xiu had already let the fog shadow of "Shadow Raven" possess him, and he knew Koros's real-time location.

As long as Koros does not exceed a certain range, chasing him is very simple, and Luo Xiu is quite patient about this.

And apart from that, it’s another thing that everyone is happy with——
