Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

After leaving the Logins Mansion, Luo Xiu quickly sneaked into the deep alleys around him, chasing away the official extraordinary beings such as the Holy Judge, the Knights of the Guards, etc. who came here after hearing the noise. open.

During the process, he kept detecting the "blasphemy demon" Tatia. When he sensed that the spirit that threatened him was approaching rapidly, he completed the recall of Tatia——

He also regained the spiritual connection with Tatya at the same time. From her mouth, he learned that the "saint" had successfully escaped, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, in a secluded deep alley near the Logins mansion, Luo Xiu quickly changed out of the clothes belonging to "Shura" and put on the priestly clothes belonging to "Luo Xiu", as a church bishop. , and instead joined the ranks of the priests who controlled the scene——

The suspect becomes a police officer! .jpg

After meeting with several radiant knights and church bishops who came after hearing the news, Luo Xiu led a group of clergymen to block an entrance and exit on the street where Logins' mansion was located.

He and the clergy with higher positions in the church turned the main street of Fengling upside down overnight, and also took away several pagan strongholds hidden in it along the way.

It wasn't until the officials sent by the Law Department branch to which Logins Mansion belonged and the [Supreme] Guard Knights almost completely controlled the area that Luo Xiu and the church's priests gradually left the Wind Chime Main Street. Withdraw and return to the church or their respective mansions in Songyuan Castle.

…

Wolfhound Tavern.

After finishing the patrol of the priests, Luo Xiu went straight back to the tavern. At this time, Isaac and Blueyere of the "Knights of the Throne" had not returned yet.

Luo Xiu then went directly to the third floor and returned to his room in the tavern. After entering, he turned around and closed and locked the door.

Intis is not here - according to Luo Xiu's previous instructions to her, after she withdraws from Logins Mansion, she will go directly to the quiet alley where no one can notice, and teleport directly back to "The Forgotten King" court".

And this is also the order Luo Xiu gave directly to all the other apostles who participated in this incident. Most of them cannot escape from such rounds of roundups, so they might as well not escape at all and return directly to the "Holy Abyss"—— After that, when the blockade is relaxed, they can then teleport back to the real world in batches and evacuate in small quantities. This is the safest way to evacuate.

After checking for the last time that no one was prying, Luo Xiu walked to the window sill, closed the curtains, lit the candlestick, and sat on the edge of the bed.

He summoned "Shadow Raven" Wu Ye and asked Wu Ye to create his "real phantom", then raised his arm and activated the teleported mark on the back of his hand.

A crimson magic circle appeared under his feet, and the figure belonging to his true body quickly faded and disappeared.

What appeared in front of him the next second was the scene of the "Forgotten Royal Court".

…

Holy abyss.

Isol was left behind in the royal court.

When Luo Xiu opened his eyes on his huge golden throne, he saw the apostles already kneeling in front of the hall.

The one crawling at the head of the apostles is the "Faceless One" Intis who has safely evacuated.

"Lord."

Intis bowed devoutly to Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu nodded slightly and looked behind her——

The people crawling behind Intis were the "apostles" who participated in this operation.

They were somewhat injured, but their faces showed a look of enthusiasm and excitement.

Luo Xiu nodded slightly, and he immediately launched the holy technique of group healing to treat the injuries of the apostles in the hall, and then activated the "Spirituality Fountain" and gave them the "spirituality" rewards they deserved.

The Apostles of the Holy Abyss, who had gained new "power", once again saluted and thanked Luo Xiu devoutly and enthusiastically, and then retreated from the hall at Luo Xiu's signal, leaving Intis and Luo Xiu in the hall. .

"Get up, Intis."

Luo Xiu motioned for Intis to stand up, and then asked her expectantly:

"How's the situation?"

"……Condition."

After organizing some words, Intis reported to Luo Xiuhui in a clear and clear voice:

"After you entered the villa, the other Holy Abyss Apostles and I went deep into the mansion according to the established plan and started a fierce battle with the guards there..."

"As you can see, we should have completely killed them all, without leaving any 'Sequlayer' behind. However, we also paid a price for this."

"We have probably killed four 'fourth-level destiny' enemies and more than twenty 'third-level destiny' enemies. As for the 'two-level destiny'... please forgive me, Lord, I didn't have time to make very detailed statistics."

"And our people - one 'fourth-fold destiny', six 'three-fold destiny', and eleven 'two-fold destiny' apostles died, giving their lives without regrets for the great cause of the Holy Abyss. "

"..."

The battle loss ratio is one to four... Luo Xiu thought to himself.

This value was quite acceptable to him.

After all, the opponent they are fighting is the [Supreme] - even the "Order Killers", they are clearly on the lawful side. They have received professional and cruel training from the Round Table, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary.

It's just that the loss of "Holy Abyss" needs to be replaced... We have to find time to build a few pagan strongholds and "recruit" some new troops.

"I understand, Intis." Luo Xiu nodded, and then asked:

"So, what about other situations?"

"Other... situations?"

Intis tilted her head in confusion.

Seeing that she didn't seem to understand what he meant, Luo Xiu simply spoke more bluntly and said:

"I mean, does the [door] you saw earlier become clearer because of this?"

"Door..." Intis murmured, and she closed her eyes at the same time.

Luo Xiu watched her calmly, feeling that she was focusing her attention on her inner being, to detect and capture the existence of that [door].

After a while, Intis raised his head and opened his eyes again.

"I saw it...I did see it..."

Intis murmured, a dreamy expression appearing on her face:

"The crimson [door], the [door] that is constantly burning with flames...it appears in front of me very clearly..."

"..."

Listening to Intis's explanation, Luo Xiu nodded secretly.

He already understood that this was how Intis completed her [promotion mission]——

The previous whispers from the "Destruction Seat" caused her to be trapped in the dance of killing. In the previous actions at the Logins Mansion, Intis did follow his guidance, which also allowed her to finally find the way to be promoted. Opportunity.

Luo Xiu then stood up, walked to Intis, stretched out his hand to gently stroke her silky silver-gray hair, and said:

"Okay, Intis, you did a good job -"

"You have obtained the qualification to be promoted to the 'Fourth Destiny' and become the 'Shadow of Killing'."

As early as before, Intis had obtained and mastered the two key skills "Flesh Sacrifice" and "Flesh Suture" to advance to the "Shadow of Killing", and had ten times when the health volume was less than 1%. Survive the situation and meet the prerequisites for promotion to "Shadow of Killing".

Her occupation during the "Triple Destiny" was "Body Destroyer" - promotion to "Shadow of Killing" was her only way to a higher level.

What she has to do now is to "dive deeply" into the spiritual sea in a safe place and open the door that belongs to her.

"I... the shadow of killing..."

Intis was still a little dazed. She had been delayed in the third level of [Red Lotus] for a long time, and now she finally got the news from the "Lord" that she could continue to be promoted. She couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Luo Xiu just continued to stroke her long silver-gray hair, feeling the slightly cold and soft touch coming from her hair.

His other hand also reached into his arms and took out a slender box.

"You need this, Intis."

Luo Xiu handed the box to her, and Intis reached out to take it. She glanced at her "Lord" and opened it carefully after Luo Xiu nodded.

A bright golden light flashed out of it, and it was a "golden" key!

Intis picked up the key in a daze, looked at her "Lord" with a confirming look, and received a positive reply from Luo Xiu:

"Go, Intis—"

"Go and open that [door] and touch the 'Golden Pillar' that belongs only to you. You will gain new power from it and gain the power of the 'Shadow of Killing'."

"..."

"I understand...Lord."

Intis nodded and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the "Golden Key" tightly with both hands and placing it gently on his chest.

Then she closed her eyes again, lowered her head and entered meditation.

…

About three minutes passed.

As Luo Xiu looked at Intis, he saw the "key" in her hand slowly disappearing, and the aura of her whole body also converged to the thinnest level.

She has completely "dive" into the spiritual sea. Luo Xiu then added several auxiliary skills to her, improving some of her attributes and improving her promotion success rate.

Then, under Luo Xiu's silent observation, about five minutes later, Luo Xiu suddenly saw a ball of fire rising from the outline of Intis's body!

The flames burned her, spreading from the edges of her clothes, to her lining, to her skin and flesh.

Luo Xiu felt a hint of heat, and the expression on Intis's face twitched, showing a somewhat painful expression——

The outside is a certain manifestation of the inside state. Luo Xiu knew that Intis, who was in the process of being promoted to the path of [Red Lotus], must be suffering from some kind of huge pain that was like burning fire.

The flames that ignited on her silhouette instantly burned up her clothes, making her completely naked in front of Luo Xiu.

It was a fair, almost perfect body—except for some barren parts and a pale complexion that always seemed like malnutrition.

But the flames were still spreading, continuing to burn her body. Patches of her skin began to turn burnt red, and tattoo-like bright red lines gradually appeared on her body, like snakes crawling over her body.

Luo Xiu just watched her quietly, feeling the subtle spiritual changes in her body.

Until a certain moment——

Buzz! At the moment when the flames burning on Intis's body were the most intense, her violent and profound spiritual reaction suddenly "returned" and surged crazily towards a certain high point!

In the panel detection that Luo Xiu kept on her, Intis had successfully promoted to the fourth level of [Red Lotus], and had truly been promoted to the hidden profession "Shadow of Killing"!

In her skill column, there is already a special skill of [Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood·Slaughter of Living Remains]. In addition, her skill column also has many detailed skills that match it, all of which are marked With this - At this time, Intis has successfully entered a new realm!

And the flame that was burning Intis was gradually extinguished.

Her skin that had been burnt red by the flames was recovering visibly to the naked eye, and the lines that crawled all over her body like red snakes were gradually fading away, and finally, what looked like a [Red Lotus] remained on the lower part of her chest. imprint.

I don't know if it's an illusion - Luo Xiu always felt that after being burned by such flames, Intis's skin seemed to become smoother and whiter, and her blood-pulsing desire appeared even more inexplicably - —

Until Intis finished her deep dive from the "Spiritual Sea", her consciousness returned to this body with her soul.

She slowly opened her eyes.

"Lord..."

She murmured, a passionate and obsessed expression flashed across her face:

"I...succeeded..."

Her consciousness was still confused at first, until she gradually regained consciousness and found that she was naked.

Before she had time to feel the new power she had just gained, Intis's cheeks were stained crimson as if being burned by flames again.

Luo Xiu still stared at her without hesitation, casually took off the robe he was wearing, and threw it to her.

Intis took the open robe and put it on her body somewhat awkwardly.

"How do you feel?" Her "lord" asked her.

"Feel……"

After gathering his thoughts, Intis began to concentrate on feeling the changes in power.

All she felt was that the spiritual surge in her [Red Lotus] had increased several times compared to before. At the same time, the desire for destruction in her heart had become stronger than ever before.

That was the inevitable impact upon embarking on the fateful path of [Red Lotus]... Intis suppressed it with her tenacity, raised her head, and looked at her "Lord" with enthusiasm and excitement:

"I feel good!"

"I feel... this is unprecedented... wonderful..."

She murmured, raising her arms and opening her palms.

A ball of scarlet fire filled with destructive spirituality appeared in her palm. Through the beating flame, Luo Xiu seemed to be able to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

That is the prototype of the [Corpse Mountain and Sea of ​​Blood·Slaughter of Living Remains] technique... Like the earliest enemy Luo Xiu faced, "Shadow of Slaughter" Thetis, Intis has learned how to transform corpse flesh into blood skeletons skills.

But there is still some distance to go before she truly masters this skill. Luo Xiu was not in a hurry - he had plenty of time to wait, and Intis had successfully broken through the "fourth level of destiny", which was enough to satisfy him.

"You did a good job, Intis." Luo Xiu nodded with approval.

He then opened the "Spring of Spirituality" panel again, extracted 300,000 experience points from it, and "infused" spirituality into Indis' body.

Just in Intis's panel, her level quickly rose by 3 levels, and her attributes also jumped up a lot again.

Intis was stunned at first, but quickly reacted and paid Luo Xiu the most devout servant salute.

"Thank you, Lord..." She thanked the Lord with a trembling voice, "Thank you for your generous gift..."

"Go and rest, Intis." Luo Xiu nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice:

"You are very tired, Intis, especially after achieving your 'promotion'."

"Go and have a rest. I will come see you again when you have recovered a little and reached the peak of your 'fourth destiny'."

"...Yes, Lord." Intis bowed again and said with a pious expression:

"Your will be obeyed."

…

After that, Intis stayed in the "Holy Abyss" royal court temporarily, while Luo Xiu activated the mark, teleported back to the real world, and returned to the Wolfhound Tavern.

Through the perspective of the real phantom created by "Shadow Raven" Wuye, during his brief trip to the Forsaken Royal Court, there were still only him and a few other guests in the tavern, including Isaac, Bu Luyere has not returned yet.

Even if they go to the "Round Table" for a meeting, it won't last so long... Luo Xiu's blind guess is that they were probably temporarily called up by Marquis Bakar to investigate "Villa Luo" in the Logins Mansion. "Jins" the murder of the Grand Inquisitor.

If that's the case, then they probably won't be able to come back all night... Even retired "Knights of the Throne" will probably not be able to escape the fate of being forced to work overtime...

While guessing with some sympathy, Luo Xiu had recalled the "Shadow Raven", and at the same time went to the bathroom and took a shower, completely washing away the remaining bloody smell on his body.

He then changed into his nightgown and went to bed, covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.

Only when you have enough energy can you cope with the stormy waves that may come the next day.

He thought so before falling asleep deeply.

…

The next day.

Before dawn, Luo Xiu was gently awakened by a tight and fierce knock on the door.

Luo Xiu, who was still sleepy, rubbed his eyes. He quickly escaped from the dizziness of being forced to turn on the phone, walked to the door still wearing his nightgown, and turned the door handle.

The moment he opened the door, he saw two clergymen from the General Church, who bowed devoutly to him.

They were wearing blue and white "deacon" priesthood attire, and their fates were all in the fourth level of [Glorious]. Luo Xiu knew that they were the priests responsible for delivering orders between the archbishop and the church's "saints". who.

The leading deacon even held a gold token engraved with a sun pattern in his hand. This was a symbol representing the archbishop and the highest authority of the general church——

"Sorry to disturb your rest, Bishop Rossio Carlos."

The leading deacon said respectfully:

“The archbishop urgently summons all the ‘consecrated’ clergymen, and we will inform you and invite you to come to the church to see him.”

"Please change your clothes as soon as possible. We have prepared a chariot for you."
