Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

When "Death Teller" Grayn fell to the ground, the glowing wings behind Luo Xiu gradually dissipated and converged, and then slowly landed towards the position where Grayn fell.

A huge deep pit was suddenly struck on the ground, and in the center of the pit was Geran's withered body that was riddled with holes.

At this time, half of his body, which contained the power of death, was completely broken; the horrific wounds on the other half of his body had leaked out the smashed internal organs. The blood gushes out uncontrollably and gathers into a pool of blood in the deep pit that emits a fishy odor.

Grean was already dead, and Luo Xiu had already determined the death of the enemy in front of him from the extra red dots of the kill reward in the mailbox on the panel.

Luo Xiu immediately landed on the ground, cleared several sacred realms, recalled the ravens and wolves that had been left in the ritual place, and walked towards the direction of Gerien's body.

Relying on the blocking power of the "Seal of Broken Rings", Luo Xiu directly interrupted Grean's last trump card. This [Lost] priest who feeds on death died in Luo Xiu's hands with almost no resistance. in hand.

Of all Luo Xiu's battles with the "fourth level of destiny" enemies, this battle is the easiest... Luo Xiu thought to himself.

The glorious authority he possessed just perfectly restrained the ability of "Death Teller" Gray, so that even before Gray could really launch a counterattack, he followed the real death.

He then walked up to Greg, quickly extracted his soul with the "Soul Manipulator", and then cast a holy spell of annihilation on Gray's corpse, erasing the "darkness" left by the Soul Manipulator. Eclipse” spiritual traces.

Then, Luo Xiu turned his back and looked at the corner of Alley No. 6.

"It should be almost there..." Luo Xiu murmured in a low voice.

All the Holy Inquisitors who were arranged to block Alley No. 6 should have seen the scene where he grabbed the "Death Teller" Gray and rushed into the air before.

If nothing else goes wrong, they are all rushing here at this time, and they will arrive soon.

…

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, Luo Xiu heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from the corners at both ends of the deep alley.

Palmier led the Holy Judges to arrive, and they all saw the scene in mid-air before.

Until this time, they once again saw the broken body of "Death Teller" Gray in the pit, and all the Holy Inquisitors couldn't help showing shocked expressions on their faces.

Their young Lord Daiji, at the beginning, just asked them to station themselves around Lane No. 6 and blockade them, while Lord Daiji went deep into the stronghold alone - he was the only one who killed through the entire [Lost] Large base! He even killed the enemy's leader "The Teller of Death" on the spot at high altitude!

Powerful...The "Grand Ceremony" of their wartime church was unexpectedly powerful... Such a consensus emerged in the hearts of all the Holy Inquisitors. When they looked at Luo Xiu, their expressions unconsciously added to their reverence.

Pamier, wearing the heavy armor of a paladin, walked up to Luo Xiu. She took off her heavy helmet, and looked at Luo Xiu with her golden-green eyes, and then at the body of Grain in the pit next to her. The expression on her face became a little complicated.

"You... Luo Xiu, I understand. It turns out that the 'fourth level of destiny' is so powerful..."

Pamier murmured in half astonishment and half yearning. She then asked Luo Xiu, "Is that the 'Death Teller' Grayn? The [Lost] Transcendent who is at the same level as the priests..."

"Well, he is the 'Death Teller' Gray."

Luo Xiu nodded and said:

"He is suspected to be a transcendent of the 'Hidden Eye'. Before I entered the stronghold, he was performing some kind of promotion ceremony with dozens of heretics."

"I interrupted their ceremony, judged all the heretics, and finally shot down Gerion here. The biggest threat has been killed... Pamier. After that, it is your mission."

"Pamiai, you come and assign the Holy Judges to clean up this battlefield of judgment. In addition, there should be a lot of recyclable materials in the secret warehouse of their stronghold. Send people to sort and organize them and bring them back. ”

"Then, this neighborhood remains under martial law, Palmier. Don't let civilians get involved, and if [Supreme] and [Intellect] send people to ask, you can truthfully share the situation here with them."

"I understand." Palmier nodded. She then put on her helmet again and turned to the other Holy Judges to issue new orders.

While Pamier was leading the Holy Judges in their respective duties, Luo Xiu also left this street and walked towards the more hidden deep alleys.

…

Pender Street, Lane 33.

Luo Xiu came here alone. After confirming that no one was prying and almost no one would break into this place, the dragon claw mark on the back of his hand lit up with red light patterns, and the surrounding scene became illusory.

He activated the key to the "Forgotten Royal Court", and when the illusory scene in front of him settled back into reality, he had arrived at the throne of his own "Forgotten Royal Court".

This was his temporary arrival at the Forsaken Royal Court without notifying the other apostles in advance. They were busy recruiting new "Holy Abyss" believers and presiding over the construction work of the abandoned royal court, so no apostles appeared in the main hall to greet them.

And Luo Xiu had no time to inspect his royal court at this time. He immediately stood up from the throne and notified Intis alone with the "family crest" to see him.

After a short wait, in front of Luo Xiu, in a place in the hall that belonged to Intis, a teleportation magic circle light pattern appeared on the ground.

Intis's figure soon appeared on the magic circle, and gradually became clear and real from vague and illusory.

"My Lord." The moment she saw Luo Xiu, Intis knelt on one knee and saluted Luo Xiu as a servant, "I obey your call."

"Intis, I need your bell."

As Luo Xiu spoke to Intis, he rubbed the mithril ring on his finger. A dark purple luster emerged from the ring surface, and a black soul light ball filled with chaos and death emerged from the ring and gradually changed into the appearance of "The Announcer of Death" Grion.

——That was the soul of "The Announcer of Death" Grion! Luo Xiu released it from the ring now, just to borrow the Intis bell to torture Grion with some questions.

"You...you..." Grien's soul seemed to recognize the young priest who killed him before. The outline of his soul light ball began to tremble unnaturally, emitting a breath of fear.

Before Grien's soul was controlled by Intis's "bell", Luo Xiu did not intend to ask him any questions. And Intis, who was standing by, immediately understood the Lord's intention, took out the "Cat Soul Bell" from her arms, and shook it gently at Grien.

——Dingling, Dingling... After a series of crisp bells rang, the outline of Grien's soul "stabilized", and its facial features reappeared in life, and then a confused, spiritless, and stupid expression emerged.

At this point, Luo Xiu took out two letters from the ring-one was a threatening letter to Lord Nelson, and the other was a secret letter between Grien and "Death Priest" Asvis.

"I'm asking you, 'The Announcer of Death' Grien Bruiser. Did you write both of these letters yourself?"

"..." Grien stared blankly at the letter in Luo Xiu's hand for a few seconds before answering in a hoarse voice:

"...Yes..."

"Heh...So, 'The Spirit' Starro, is he your disciple?"

"...Yes..."

Luo Xiu nodded. He could at least confirm that the content of the letter was true and not fabricated by a third party.

However, he still had some doubts, such as why Grien chose to send a cursed letter to Lord Nelson while being promoted, which would only increase his risk of exposure.

So he asked Grien this question, but Grien answered:

"...For a perfect death from the inside out."

"Death from the inside out?"

Luo Xiu thought to himself with some doubts, but he probably understood the meaning of Grien's words, that is, in addition to those believers who were willing to martyr themselves, Grien also needed "external death" to ensure the success of the ceremony.

This conjecture was soon confirmed. Luo Xiu heard Green continue to say: "I need more...more death...death turned into power...this is perfection..."

"Curse...the curse on the city lord is a gift...it not only facilitates my revenge for my disciples, breeds fear, but also makes death perfect..."

"Besides him...besides that city lord Nelson...I have planted more and more seeds of 'death'..."

"What a pity, what a pity..."

When he said this, Green stopped talking. He fell into silence again, waiting for Luo Xiu's next question.

And Luo Xiu quickly understood the situation behind it.

Unknowingly, the threatening letter with the death curse received by City Lord Nelson was actually a part of Green's promotion...but he did not expect that his hiding traces had been exposed long ago, and he would die in the hands of a church priest just before completing the promotion.

These information were unknown to the [Supreme] people who were suspected of revealing the hiding place of the "Death Announcer" to him. If he had not come to Red Maple City and served as the "High Priest" of the church, it would not be so easy to wipe out such an enemy.

Even the "Death Announcer" Green himself said that in addition to Lord Nelson, he also planted the seeds of death in other places in Red Maple City - those may be nobles in the city, or perhaps civilians. If the confrontation with [Lost] Green was delayed for a few more days, when the seeds of "death" all bloomed, Red Maple City would suffer even greater losses.

As Luo Xiu thought about this, his eyes looking at Green's soul gradually became deeper.

At this time, Green's soul light ball, the rich black color was gradually fading, and there was not much time left to maintain his complete consciousness.

Luo Xiu judged that he could probably ask Green two more questions.

After thinking about it, Luo Xiu quickly made a decision. He first asked Grien about the location of the other "death" seeds he had planted, and soon got the answer to the question.

Most of them were residents concentrated in the main street and Mawei Street, with a total number of about a hundred people.

They were cursed with death in advance by Grien in various ways. About two days later, when Grien's original "promotion ceremony" was completed, the residents who were planted with death would die collectively, thus "offering" external death to Grien.

After Luo Xiu wrote these down, he immediately asked Grien the last question:

"Where is Asvis, the 'Priest of Death', hiding?"

“…”

“‘Death Priest’ Asvis… He is in the largest base of ‘Death Mysterious Prayers’ on Rust Street…”

After answering Luo Xiu’s last question, the color of Grien’s soul completely disappeared, and his illusory body also dissipated, turning back into a soul light ball without intelligence, just a collection of pure spirituality.

Luo Xiu then took Grien’s soul back into the ring, and after praising Intis verbally, he activated the key to the secret realm again, left the “Lost Royal Court”, and returned to the real world on Pender Street.

After walking out of the shadows of the hidden alley, the first thing Luo Xiu had to do was to return to the church and inform the clergy of the church’s “Preaching Place” of the location of the “seed of death” that Grien had planted.

Although Grien was dead, the curse he had imposed on the civilians had not expired. As long as two days passed, the curse of death would immediately take effect and take the lives of those civilians.

But Luo Xiu no longer needed to “save” those civilians in person. As soon as he returned to the church, he went to find Mayev, who he had just appointed as the chief of the preaching place, and gave him the task of dispatching the clergy to the scene of the incident to inform the residents of the main street and Mawei Street like this-

"If there are any symptoms of fainting, intermittent fever, coldness or even convulsions, it may be a sign of being cursed. All residents with one of the above signs should come to the church within one day, and the clergy of the church will exorcise the filth for you."

Mayev wrote this down, then went to the preaching place, organized the clergy and left the church to carry out the tasks assigned to them by Luo Xiu.

After that, he just waited for the residents who might be cursed to come to the church, and he would use the holy art of "pure glow" to remove the curse for them... Although this method does not guarantee that all curses can be removed, it is enough to remove most of them.

And this can also improve the church's credibility among civilians, and it is also very beneficial to the integration of faith... Luo Xiu thought.

After sending Mayyev to perform the task of notifying the civilians, Luo Xiu finally finished all the tasks temporarily, and then went to his high priest residence to take a temporary rest.

After that, he only needed to wait for Anthony, Pamier and Mayyev to return after completing their tasks, and then make plans for the future.

While thinking about this, Luo Xiu had already come to his bedroom and lay on the bed.

He then opened the panel and the interface of his mailbox, and after the routine single sacrifice of justice, he clicked on the reward settlement option of "Death Announcer" Grion.
