Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Red Maple City, Rust Street.

In the large base of the "Death Prayers", the "Death Priest" Asvis had just returned from the border and returned to the base room belonging to his "Priest".

At this time, he was frowning tightly, and the fingers of a dry and thin hand were repeatedly picking the empty eye socket of his left eye. The other hand was soaked in a jar filled with thick black liquid. On the surface of the scaly skin, several fine black silk threads kept wriggling like silkworms.

"Death Priest" Asvis, he is the actual controller of this "Death Prayer" base. The "Holy Tower Theocracy" that pursues [Lost] sent them "Death Prayers" to sneak into the empire, and Asvis was the first advance.

However, for Asvis, he is more loyal to [Lost] than the Theocracy, so he is not actually interested in the disputes between forces.

He pursued the true meaning of "death" - the death of the body, the death of the soul; the death of others, the death of himself... He believed that he would eventually transcend the boundaries of "death", and eventually surpass "death", becoming the master who controls another essence of life.

That is why, for "Death Priest" Asvis, before he truly obtains the power to "control" and "surpass" death, the first and only thing he has to do is to "live".

Only by living for a long time can we get close to the essence of "death". For this reason, Asvis did not hesitate to give up his identity. For him, "Holy Tower Theocracy" is just a springboard, and he can't choose only this springboard.

Surrendering to "Bianting" was the first decision Asvis made after arriving in Hongfeng City. And he sold out "Death Talker" Green, who was originally a comrade, and indeed gained some trust from Baines, the "Grand Inquisitor" of the Border Court.

"The Announcer of Death" Green was killed shortly after Asvis handed over the letter to Bian Ting. Bian Ting also publicized the incident, which caused a great shock among the "Lost" believers who infiltrated Red Maple City.

In the following week, the frequency of activities of the "Lost" believers in Red Maple City was greatly reduced. Everyone huddled up like a turtle, waiting for the storm to pass, and then looking for an opportunity to launch a secret operation.

At this time, "Death Priest" Asvis hid his identity again, hiding in the base like his real comrades.

However, Asvis could not hide safely. Although the betrayal of "The Announcer of Death" Green was not exposed to other comrades, he also received a new task from "Bian Ting" - "Bian Ting" required Asvis to sort out and map out the distribution of all the "Death Secret Prayers" in Red Maple City during his hiding period.

If Asvis can complete this task, he will be able to obtain three months of asylum from the "Border Court". If he fails to do so, the "Border Court" will reduce this asylum to one month, and after the asylum ends, Asvis will also be regarded as a "hunting" target.

"..." Asvis had a headache about this. But he still decided to follow the requirements of the "Border Court" and was ready to sell out his comrades again in exchange for more chances of survival.

The black lines on his right hand, which was soaked in the black liquid, gradually stopped wriggling. Asvis immediately stood up and walked to a side wall of the room in his base.

He raised his arm that had just been soaked in black water, and his dry and pale palm fit the wall completely. The next moment, the originally gray wall suddenly began to tremble, and fine cracks cracked from the wall and spread to the surroundings. Strands of dark black mist emerged from the cracks and wrapped around each finger of Asvis's palm.

"——The soul of sin that died by swallowing gold, open your secrets to me again."

Asvis murmured in a low voice, and the dark mist wrapped around his fingers also faded, and turned to swirl and embed into the wall, outlining several rectangular frame patterns.

The next moment, the wall in front of Asvis gradually "melted" like ice melting water. A square box that was originally hidden behind the wall was revealed.

It was a square box with an ancient shape, about half the height of Asvis. Its five sides were pure black, only the front was gray, and the position connecting the two doors in the middle was bound by a chain wrapped in black mist, and a small black-scaled snake was clinging to the chain.

Asvis then pressed his palm on the top of the square box, and black mist immediately spread out from one of his empty eye sockets, and a large amount of dark mist was evaporated from the six sides of the square box. The small snake on the chain then quickly drilled into the box from the gap, and the chain wrapped around it also slipped off.

——The door of the box opened with a click. Three scrolls were sealed inside, and the scrolls contained the base distribution map that Asvis had not yet completely drawn.

Asvis then reached into the box and took out the scroll, and his eyes became gloomy and deep at the same time.

"That's it, that's enough. Soon, soon I will..."

Asvis murmured, but before he finished his words, a huge explosion suddenly came to his ears.

——Boom! Just outside the room where Asvis was, in the base of the "Death Secret Prayer", a very violent explosion suddenly occurred. The wave generated by the explosion even penetrated the wall, causing Asvis to feel a knife-like pain in his back.

Asvis looked back in astonishment, and then he saw that the door of his room had been blasted into a deep dent by an unknown force. If the same explosion happened again, the door of the room would be completely scrapped.

"What happened..." Asvis thought in his heart. He could probably guess that the base of the "Death Secret Prayer" was invaded by foreign enemies, but except for the "Bianting", he did not reveal his hiding place to any enemy...

"Bianting" had no reason to kill the donkey at this time, they still needed him to provide new information... Asvis thought. In addition, there were only a few chief priests who were [Lost] in Red Maple City, and each knew the whereabouts of the other. The only one who knew his hiding place was "Death Talker" Gren, but he was already dead...

Just as Asvis was still thinking about this, a violent explosion soon came from the outside base again.

——Boom!!! This time, the power of the external explosion directly penetrated the room and blasted a huge hole in the door.

The aftermath of the dark purple light penetrated the door and then hit Asvis's thin body, causing his body to fly backwards and hit the wall heavily, creating a deep pit.

"Cough! Cough cough..." Asvis coughed twice, coughing up two balls of black sputum and blood, and his face turned pale.

The power of the explosion was completely beyond Asvis's imagination... It was definitely an attack that could only be released by a transcendent with at least "fourth-fold destiny"... Asvis's expression became solemn, he broke free from the crack in the wall, and casually picked up a death staff placed on the table.

The door of his room had been blown down, and the completely dark environment outside the stronghold made Asvis unable to see who the intruder was.

However, the terrifying spiritual surge coming from the outside allowed Asvis to roughly judge the spiritual level of the other party.

There were a total of six different spiritual surges. The strongest reaction was undoubtedly from a "four-fold destiny" transcendent. In addition, there were two spiritual reactions between the third and fourth levels, and three spiritual reactions were at the peak of the "three-fold destiny", which was the complete configuration of the attacking enemy.

After knowing the general configuration of the enemy, Asvis couldn't help but take a breath.

One four-fold destiny transcendent, five three-fold destiny transcendents... This configuration was something that only "Bianting" could come up with... Could it really be that group of [Supreme] people? Did they want to cross the river and destroy the bridge after they got the benefit from him?

In Asvis's only remaining eye, a layer of cruel deep light suddenly flashed. He quickly thought of a way out in his mind, and walked into the darkness of the stronghold with his staff.

...

At this time, Luo Xiu had broken through the last forbidden area of ​​the "Death Secret Prayer" stronghold on Rust Street.

Fenrir, the "Cinder Wolf King", opened his bloody mouth, and a purple light ball with ominous black flames in his mouth was rapidly condensing, about to launch the next attack in the opposite direction.

The two terrifying explosions before were the "Cinder Destroyer Shock Blast" released by Fenrir. It was a powerful attack that the "Cinder Wolf King" could use, and with the various auxiliary enhancements that Luo Xiu gave it, the power of its attack was no less than that of the real "Fourfold Destiny" extraordinary people.

On the other side, the "Shadow Raven" Misty Night was hovering in the air. Half of its mist shadow was left in the church and condensed into a "real phantom", and the other half was scattered in various corners of this stronghold, capturing any pagans who tried to escape.

Behind Luo Xiu were Intis, "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer, and "Hunting Blade" Undertaker. They all received orders from the "Lord", so they came to Rust Street at the agreed time and worked with the "Lord" to clear out the heretic's base.

At this time, most of the believers in the "Death Mystery Prayer" base had been killed. Without the "Death Priest" Asvis taking action, with the combat power of Luo Xiu, his Abyss Beast, and his apostles, it would be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables to kill all these heretics.

There were originally four "Triple Fate" and nearly fifty "Double Fate" believers here, but they were now broken into two or three pieces and fell at the feet of Luo Xiu and the apostles, turning into cold corpses.

And until Fenrir's last two explosions cleared the scene, waves of dark and deep spiritual shocks suddenly came from the room opposite the "Priest" Asvis.

Strange whispers spread outward, and slightly sluggish footsteps mixed in. The last person in the stronghold finally appeared. As Luo Xiu looked at the "spiritual vision" in the darkest place, "Priest of Death" Asvis took a staggering step, holding up the death staff, and chanted:

"——We are born to die, this is an unchanging constant..."

"——The body is a prison of death, and the soul is the way back to death..."

"——Return! Those who are lost in the world of life and death, return!"

"——Burn the soul and burn it into embers."

"——Burn the body and burn it into residual fire."

"——Offer me the final death!"

"..."

"Priest of Death" Asvis, the death staff in his hand immediately released one after another gloomy and deep death spirits, which immediately permeated the entire stronghold. The power of "death" has occupied every inch of the corner.

At the same time, the corpses on the ground began to move strangely. Strands of fine black lines turned into spiritual souls and drilled into the flesh and blood, which made those flesh and blood bodies that had long lost their vitality move again, twisting and searching for their respective halves.

Even those pieces of flesh that had been blasted to pieces had twisted limbs to varying degrees. They crawled towards other pieces of flesh and spliced ​​into new, twisted and terrifying flesh and blood monsters.

And the spirit of death also drilled into the aggregated pieces of flesh and blended into a twisted soul. The deep resentment before death that remained in the flesh and blood and soul made the newly born monster full of tyrannical killing desires. The murderous intent that surged from all directions had already heavily enveloped Luo Xiu, the Abyss Beast and the "Holy Abyss" apostles.

——"Revitalize the Dead"! That was the death spell cast by "Death Priest" Asvis the moment they met.

Asvis, the "Priest of Death", has returned the souls of the pagans who were hovering in the stronghold and have not yet dispersed to their original bodies. Unlike the ability of Grion, the "Teller of Death", Asvis's "death" power is to create undead spirits attached to the flesh. They are tougher and more violent than the undead spirits transformed from the soul.

In order to prevent situations like today, Asvis has already engraved the death mark on all the believers in the "Secret Prayers of Death" stronghold. This allows them to retain some traces even if they die and their bodies and souls are blown into pieces, and be "resurrected" by Asvis like this, becoming Asvis's trump card for self-protection.

It was not until Asves had released the spell and the "believers" in the stronghold were resurrected in a strange way that the "Death Priest" put down the Death Staff in his hand and slowly said to the invaders who came from nowhere in front of him:

"You... are strangers who came from nowhere and are not my comrades."

"I don't know why you came here, and I don't want to know more."

"But since you have come here and killed many of my comrades, you should understand how stupid you have committed. You will eventually be devoured by the flames of revenge."

"Now, you are surrounded by the resentful souls you killed with your own hands. You should know that you have no chance of defeating me."

After a pause, Asves leaned heavily on the staff in his hand, and the violent aura of the undead gathered around him was restrained. Asvis changed the subject and said:

"But now, I allow you to make a choice you will regret."

"Leave here, leave Rust Street. I won't stop you, I can pretend nothing happened."

"Thank you for my kindness, this is your last chance to survive."
