Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

The gray mist snakes quickly jumped onto the bodies of the "Saint Protectors" next to them. Their pale fangs quickly bit into them, and their bodies quickly dissipated, condensing into the bodies of the "Saint Protectors". Thin gray fog.

In Zaskka's eyes, he saw the "Saint Protectors" who had been drilled into their bodies by the [Soul-Eating Snake], and they suddenly became stiff——

Unlike the previous dwarves of the "Dark Demon's Favored", Zaskka's purpose is not to collect souls, but only to control them.

Although each body is actually a "container" for the players' consciousness and does not have a real soul,

But as long as Zaskka doesn't really try to pull out the souls from the bodies of those "Saint Guardians", his "soul-stealing" ability on the players is equivalent to temporarily expelling their will. and took over control of their bodies.

Therefore, "Deep Soul Seizing" is a hard-controlled status abnormality that can take effect on players.

Zaska didn't know this, but his "Grey Snakes" did succeed——

The expressions of those "Saint Protectors" quickly became dull. They gradually put down their weapons, and their lightless pupils, under the control of Zaska, all looked at their "Bishop". Looking towards Luo Xiu Carlos.

And when the more than forty "Saint Guardians" nearby were all "soul-robbed" in a very short period of time, the players' [Chat Channel] suddenly exploded——

[Dangerous Building Listening to the Rain]: Damn it! I suddenly couldn't move!

[Dangerous Building Listening to Rain]: No... NMD is deeply soul-stealing, lasting one hour? ah?

[Why is your head so flat]: When you encounter [Nothingness], it is as strong as a monster. You can’t defeat it with all your strength... I forgot about it later.

[Then let me ask you]: Not with all my strength

[Then you ask me]: It’s not, it’s not

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Me, I’m a little better than Tingyu, but I was also charged for twenty-three minutes

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Damn it, I understand. Guess why his profession is "Soul Reaver"?

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Whether there is a priest, throw a purification, save

[Alicia]: Huh? Do I fight the executioner? true or false

【Alicia】: Can’t purify at all.jpg

[Why is your head so flat?]: Uh-huh, why is my body moving on its own?

【……】：……

More than 40 players who were controlled by the abnormal state of "Deep Soul Seizing" were discussing in full swing in the [Player Forum].

However, players who were soul-stealing by a "Soul Sealer" with a fifth-level destiny of [Void], and whose highest level was only at the "third-level destiny" level, were forcibly controlled for an even longer time——

At the very least, the "Sin-Purifying Priest" with three destiny paths like Thomas was also controlled for 23 minutes, while other players with lower levels or lower "Resistance" attributes were mostly controlled. Controlled for more than an hour.

Just when the field of vision separated from the body and was in a state similar to the "God's perspective", the players suddenly saw that the body they modeled started to move on its own!

"Soul-stealer" Zaska had a crazy smile on his face. He raised his arms and continuously released gray mist, turning into small soul-stealing snakes, biting the "Saint Guardians" next to him. body.

He already felt that he had indeed controlled the bodies of those "Saint Protectors".

Although the feel of his "soul-stealing" hand always felt a bit strange, Zaskka no longer cared about it——

"Come to me...come to me!"

He screamed, and the gray mist released from his arms and even the outline of his complete body became increasingly dense.

The guardians who had been "soul-robbed" seemed to have been attracted by some kind of fatal attraction, and began to slowly and somewhat staggeringly gather in front of Zaska.

In Zaska's eyes——

He saw that the "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos, not far across the way, still had an indifferent face, as if he didn't care that he would "seize the souls" of the saint protectors.

He didn't even take action to stop himself, he just raised the dark red ancient dragon scepter in his hand. The bright golden light bursting out of it had turned bright red, as if something was brewing.

Zaska actually didn't understand why the "bishop" in front of him, Rossiu Carlos, didn't stop him immediately.

But that's okay - the crazy smile on Zaska's face became more and more apparent.

"—lost children."

"Soul-stealing Messenger" Zaska, he immediately issued an order to the guardians of the "soul-stealing" saints:

"——Kill! Kill the [Glorious] Bishop!"

"..."

The moment Zaskka gave the order.

All the Saint Guardians whose souls were "seized" by him turned around at the same time, and condensed their own sacred arts that contained the spirit of annihilation from their hands!

The Sacred Art of Annihilation that was about to finish charging was pointed in the direction of their "bishop", Luo Xiu Carlos!

And the true consciousness of these guardians who were "soul-seized" was frightened on the spot——

[Crocodile stewed in iron pot]: What the fuck? ah?

[Big crocodile stewed in iron pot]: Should I fight the bishop? ah?

[Alicia]: Fortunately, I only have auxiliary skills in my skill slot...

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: No, it can’t stop, it can’t stop at all.

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Gonna cum!

【……】：……

Then, in the hands of "Thomas the Tank Engine" who was the first to accumulate the power of the Holy Art of Annihilation, the light spear emitting bright golden light had condensed, and at the next moment, under the control of "Soul Reaver" Zaska, it Shoot it in the direction of "Bishop" Luo Xiu!

--boom! ! !

Attacks from the other Saint Protectors followed one after another, and the light clusters condensed by the holy spells of annihilation flew quickly in the direction of their "bishop", and then exploded with a bang!

The golden light suddenly surged out and covered Luo Xiu's lower body.

And on the outline of his body, patches of crystal white light also flashed, like a gem-like mirror under the light.

At the same time, in the [Chat Channel]——

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Oh my god... "You caused 0 points of 'Holy Light' attribute damage to 'Bishop of Red Maple City' Luo Xiu Carlos"?

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Huh?

[Garden Baby]: Hahahahaha, vegetables

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: No, this is even more outrageous than being soul-robbed by that "soul-taker" Zaska!

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: I was really hurt - and no one told me that our bishop is so fleshy?

[Stewing crocodile in iron pot]: It’s okay, me too 0

[Crocodile stewed in iron pot]: I wonder, our bishop is really strong!

[Crocodile stewed in iron pot]: I secretly slashed the executioner with my sword just now, and it caused a whopping 8 points of damage!

[Twitching and Elephant]: The executioner tried his best and couldn't defeat it.

[If you die, you will die]: It’s too scary, I’m 0 too

[If you die, you will die]: The unsolved mystery - how strong is the bishop?

[If you die, you will die]: I feel like there are not only five levels of destiny, but I guess there are six or even seven levels!

[Dangerous Building Listening to the Rain]: Me too 0

[Then let me ask you]: What a coincidence, I am also 0

【Alicia】: All 0, ecstasy

【Thomas the Tank Engine】:?

【Thomas the Tank Engine】: Climb

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Oh, I really want to see the fight between the Bishop and the "Lord of the Holy Abyss"...

【……】：……

The surrounding Saint Guardians who were "soul-robbed" all attacked their "Bishop" Luo Xiu, all of which only had 0 points of damage!

Not only the players, but also Zaska, who controlled the "Soul Seizer", was confused by what he saw in front of him——

That was not damage blocked by the "shield".

Instead, he was directly immune to the attacks made by those "Saint Protectors" towards Luo Xiu!

That was actually the effect of Luo Xiu’s specialty “Gift of the Storm” he had previously received from another [Ku Tu] executioner, “Storm Lord” Musset, but of course the players and Zaska didn’t Know this.

While Zaska was stunned and the "Saint Protectors" were still discussing enthusiastically in the [Chat Channel].

Luo Xiu has also completed the charging of [Dragon Breath Scepter]——

"--roar!!!"

In Zaska's ears, he suddenly heard a deafening dragon roar.

Opposite Zaska, the "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos, the color of the scepter in his hand has completely changed from dark red to deep red——

And behind Luo Xiu, a huge phantom suddenly appeared. It was the phantom of a "giant dragon" with teeth and claws, dozens or even hundreds of times larger than him!

Then, the crimson light on the dragon pearl stone of the [Dragon Breath Scepter] he held in his right hand suddenly shone brightly!

——[Dragon Breath Scepter] unique skill, "Old Dragon's Breath"!

——Boom! ! ! ! !

When the crimson, blazing light surge accumulated to a certain level, it suddenly exploded in the direction of Zaska!

In just a blink of an eye, the entire area between Luo Xiu and Zaska was filled with purgatory-like crimson.

The flames burned and burned everything. Zaskka's vision was completely occupied by the sky's crimson, and above the outline of his body——

His already tattered clothes were completely burned to ashes in an instant; and his body was also on fire, and the bone-eroding flames soon covered Zaska's body with scorch marks one after another.

Right in Luo Xiu's eyes.

He saw "Executioner" Zaska opposite, bathing in the sea of ​​fire. His face was constantly filled with twisted expressions of pain, as ferocious as ravines and rifts.

This blow just now directly wiped out most of Zaska's life - he had fallen into a "seriously injured" state.

In this sea of ​​​​fire shrouded in blazing scarlet, Zaska's face showed several sinister and ruthless expressions, and he seemed to want to take action.

But the purpose of getting Zaskka to cooperate and shock the players has been achieved, Luo Xiu will not give him any chance again——

In Luo Xiu's left hand, the other [Dragon Flame Demonic Sword] he held, its spiral three-edged blade, also burst out with traces of crimson light!

He immediately put down the crimson scepter in his right hand and raised his left hand. The surging spirituality contained in the [Dragon Flame Demonic Sword] turned into even hotter flames and spurted out!

It was in Zaska's frightened, panicked and desperate eyes.

He saw the phantom of the terrifying ancient dragon appearing behind the "bishop" in front of him, the "Roseux Carlos".

"--roar!!!"

It had opened its terrifying bloody mouth and let out waves of deafening horrifying roars, which almost pierced Zaska's eardrums!

"No, no..."

Zaska murmured, the expression of fear and despair on his face intensified.

But he could not stop what was about to happen - he could only watch helplessly as the "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos, holding the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] in his left hand, slashed down heavily!

——[Dragon Flame Demon Sword] inherent skill, "Ancient Dragon Devouring Slash"!

——Boom! ! ! ! !

The scorching flames have turned into scarlet, dense light, and violently gushed outward with the fall of the slash!

Zaska, the executioner of [Nothingness] and the "Soul Taker", was instantly submerged in the scarlet flames.

Along with the ruins of the building behind him and Zaska's body, they were completely reduced to ashes under the last wave of surging and terrifying devouring slashes.

There was not even a scream.

And in Luo Xiu's panel detection, the health value of Zaska, the "Soul Taker", also returned to zero at the moment of the last slash.

Please...collect 6...books...!

The panel popped up the killing reward of "Soul Reaper" Zaska, which means that the executioner is completely dead.

And the soul-stealing effect he applied to the surrounding "Saints" also lost its effect the moment Zaska died.

The players who were still accumulating the spiritual power of "annihilation" and uncontrollably blasted the annihilation light ball at "Bishop" Luo Xiu, stopped the accumulation of annihilation holy art the moment the "soul-stealing" control was released.

Especially Thomas -

He always had an ominous premonition that he would be expelled from the church if he continued to fight, so he stopped very quickly.

And the players were extremely shocked by the two devastating attacks just now by their "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos!

It was the two waves of attacks with the dark red scepter and the dark red spiral sword. The "Executioner" - the "Soul Reaper" Zaska of the fifth level of [Nothingness], was left with nothing but ashes!

He was probably dead -

The strong sense of oppression emanating from the "Executioner" had dissipated without a trace at this time, and the panel detection that the players were maintaining on the "Executioner" Zaska also disappeared at a certain moment just now.

- All this happened after the "Bishop" Luo Xiu launched two terrifying attacks!

In the [Chat Channel], the discussion of the players instantly exploded -

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: My Bishop!

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: I will launch one, no, two awesome attacks! .jpg

[Listening to the Rain in the Dangerous Building]: I melted, what about you

[Sweating Soybean]: No, what were those two just now

[Sweating Soybean]: That's the glory? ? ?

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: As we all know, red is also a rare branch of Holy Light

[Then you ask me]: Reasonable

[Sweating Soybean]: Coach, I want to learn this!

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Loyalty! Sincerity!

[Iron Pot Stewed Crocodile]: What's the point of saying it was a second

[Non-dog player]: What's the point of saying it was a second

[Alicia]: What's the point of saying it was a second

[High-quality Human Repeater]: What's the point of saying it was a second

[……]: …

The players were discussing enthusiastically in the [Chat Channel]. At the same time, after they had released the "Soul Reaper" control state, they watched their "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos take back the two magic swords and scepters.

The surroundings that had just been burned by the scarlet burning fire gradually cooled down after Luo Xiu took back the two "Ancient Dragon Weapons".

He looked at the place where the Soul Reaper Zaska had just been. There was nothing left there, and the ruins of the surrounding buildings had all turned into charcoal and powder.

At the same time, a huge, terrifying crack appeared on the ground, which was the remaining crack left by the "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" just now.

When the scorching flames dissipated and the players saw the terrifying crack in the ground, their faces showed shock and yearning.

Luo Xiu saw it all - he then walked towards Thomas.

...

Seeing the bishop walking towards him, Thomas couldn't help but feel panic in his heart.

Before, he just heard the unrest coming from this side, and happened to die after using [Martyr's Skull] to blow up the city wall and resurrected nearby, so he thought of coming over to join in the fun.

But he didn't expect to see his own "bishop" and "executioner" fighting together!

Just now, when the Soul Taker Zaska took the souls of the players, it was Thomas and several other Guardian players who were controlled by the Soul Taker who used the Holy Art of Annihilation to hit the Bishop the hardest.

Although the damage caused was 0, when the Bishop Ross Carlos walked towards Thomas and other Guardian players, it was visible to the naked eye that Thomas and several other Guardian players nearby had different degrees of guilty and worried expressions on their faces.

His worry was not without reason -

In many other RPG games, no matter whether the reason for "attacking" was active or passive, many NPCs would turn against the players and become hostile if they were accidentally scratched by the players.

Thomas was not sure whether his own "Bishop" would also be hostile to him because of this.

——Don't do that!

If he is expelled from the church by the "bishop" for this, he will have to live a relatively unsuccessful gaming life!

Thomas thought about this in a complicated way.

As he watched Luo Xiu walk towards him step by step, Thomas became more and more panicked and uneasy.

Before the bishop really came to him, Thomas mustered up the courage and spoke to the bishop first:

"Bishop!"

"Just now, just now, we..."

"..."

He had already prepared a sliding kneeling quotation, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly got stuck and didn't know how to continue.

At the same time, Thomas also saw that his "bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos had a gentle expression on his face.

"It's not your fault, my fellows."

He only heard his "bishop" say to them:

"I know that you were 'soul-stealing' just now and couldn't control yourself. So, the attack on me was really a last resort, and I won't blame you."

Then, Luo Xiu's face showed a faint smile again, and he said:

"Besides, I'm not injured by this, you don't need to take it to heart."

"..."

How did it become the bishop to comfort us...

While listening to Luo Xiu say this, Thomas thought at the same time.

He always felt that when the bishop said "I was not injured by this", it was a bit hurtful, but the bishop did not blame them or be hostile to them, which finally made Thomas feel relieved.

"Okay, it's okay."

Thomas then listened to his "bishop" continue to say:

"In the Kaveri Fortress, the enemy's 'Executioner' Zanska has been sentenced. You should not gather here for a long time. You should have other tasks."

"'Thomas the Train', you lead the other 'Saint Guardians' to the cracks in the city wall to meet other clergy and the knights of the 'Border Court'."

"Then, judge all the 'Black Fangs' and 'Flange Heads' who are still resisting in this fortress."

"Before dawn, we must completely control this fortress, and then open the city gates to welcome the main force of our expeditionary force into the city."

"..."

"Understood, Bishop."

Thomas nodded solemnly.

After that, Thomas watched his "bishop" Luo Xiu turn around and leave, riding on the "Golden Pegasus", then rising into the sky and galloping towards the depths of the Kaveri Fortress.

He was going to what seemed to be the former residence of the "Executioner" Zanska.

The bishop was going to the mansion, so he must have a plan...

Thomas, who wanted to join in the fun, finally suppressed his curiosity and followed the bishop's instructions to rush towards the broken city wall with other players.

In Thomas's vision, in the huge crack under the city wall -

More and more clergymen of the "Red Maple City" church and knights of the border court had poured into the fortress from the huge crack in the wall.

There were still many "Black Fangs" and "Fang Heads" roaming around. After Thomas and other players met with their fellow church members and knights of the border court, they turned around and joined the fight with the "Black Fangs" and "Fang Heads".

The smell of blood in the air in the entire fortress has become more and more intense.

Just before the sky was really about to dawn -

The carnival of killing was still going on, covering up other painful and wailing sounds.

This was destined to be a sleepless night, or... a night of long sleep.

...
