Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

The army of Red Maple City is constantly heading to the front line. In the sight of the front-line soldiers, they can already see a vague black line formed by the army formation of the pitch-black army.

Long before Red Maple City made the decision to leave the city for a decisive battle, the leader of the pitch-black vanguard army, the ‘executioner’ Afatak, had already made preparations.

Until he saw the army of Red Maple City finally appear at the end of his vision, Afatak's face showed a gloomy expression, and he murmured:

"... finally here."

Beside him, "Guillotine" Bagri, "Curse Binder" Haziz, and "Beast Tamer" Klauer all began to rub their hands and were eager to try.

And with these "leaders" and "fang heads" of the pitch-black army as the origin, the tens of thousands of pitch-black soldiers of the entire pitch-black vanguard army also began to sharpen their blades, and looked at the dark and gradually approaching enemies on the opposite side with blood-thirsty eyes.

"According to the original plan, Bagri, Lord Haziz, you go ahead. I will leave the Berserker Corps and the Spellcaster Corps to you."

Afatak said, "I will stay here to dispatch and command. I look forward to your good news."

Bagri did not speak, but just nodded, and turned to walk towards the army formation on the side.

His figure quickly disappeared in the army formation, and the army formation he was in was in a commotion. About 300 "Orc Berserkers" emerged from the soldiers. They were wearing beast armor, their eyes were scarlet, and their faces were fanatical. They rushed towards the direction of the Red Maple City army.

That was the killer weapon hidden by the vanguard army led by Afatak. The "Berserker Corps" composed entirely of orcs and all of them were "Orc Berserkers" with the double destiny of [Red Lotus] was the capital of Afatak's firm defense.

On the other side, "Curse Binder" Haziz also nodded and said:

"...I will lock the enemy outside my curse curtain."

After saying that, he also walked towards the army formation in front of him and took away the "Curser Corps" that exuded a strange and ominous atmosphere.

It was composed of more than 200 believers wearing "dark purple cloaks", all of whom were "Curser Corps" of the "Lost" double destiny "Curser". They all followed behind "Curse Binder" Haziz silently and walked to the front of the army formation.

When Bagli and Haziz led the Extraordinary Corps to the front, Afatak immediately turned his eyes and looked at the "Beast Tamer" Klauer beside him and said:

"Klauer, my friend."

"You should also prepare, it's time to release those "mad dogs."

"...Yeah." Klauer nodded, then turned and left, his figure quickly disappeared in a dense jungle behind the army formation.

…

When the Red Maple City army marched to half a mile in front of the pitch-black defenders, Lord Nelson raised his whip, and the flag bearer beside him began to wave the flag.

The army stopped marching, the shield spearmen in the front row set up their shields, and the archers in the middle row drew their arrows and put them on their bows, ready to shoot in turns.

After that, Lord Nelson stopped issuing orders, and the "Great Inquisitor" Baines took over the command.

Bains then drew out his scarlet long sword, pointed it in the direction of the pitch-black army formation, and loudly "commanded":

"——My 'conquest' knight!"

"——[I strengthen your blood and flesh, and you pierce the enemy with blades and edges]!"

At the same time as the "command", the scarlet of the long sword in Baines's hand was pulled out of the sword body, splitting into hundreds of deep red light traces, falling on the hundreds of armored knights riding vigorous war horses in the army formation behind him.

——They are all extraordinary people with the second destiny of [Supreme], and they are the "war knights" secretly cultivated by the "Border Court"!

These deep red light traces quickly injected into the bodies of the armored knights, and their aura suddenly became different.

—— Clang, clang clang clang clang! The armor of these hundreds of armored knights kept making metal collision sounds, and the outlines of their bodies were already flashing with scarlet luster, and two scarlet spots suddenly burst out under the face-covering helmets.

The war horses under them also gradually burst out with amazing power. When the horses' hooves trampled on the ground, they actually dug out one pit after another full of cracks.

The next moment, these armored knights waved their weapons and charged in the direction of the dark army.

The decisive battle officially broke out from this moment. The war knights surrounded the enemy from both sides, piercing the enemy's heart like a sharp sword.

At the same time, the Red Maple City army in the rear also advanced towards the enemy. The archers had already drawn their bows to the sky, shooting round after round of arrows at the enemy's army.

Soon, the front rows of the two sides' army rushed together like a torrent, and the soldiers of both sides had started a fierce fight. The smell of blood began to spread across the entire battlefield along with the surging yellow sand.

…

As the "commander", Lord Nelson had retreated to the rear of the army and climbed up the observation tower built on the high slope.

Also in the rear were the clergy of the "church" and the sorcerers of the "Fangbeiyuan".

At this time, next to the observation tower where Lord Nelson was, Luo Xiu rode the "Golden Pegasus" and observed the battle situation from a high position on the high slope.

The Red Maple City army had a crushing number on the Black Vanguard Army. The dark mass of troops almost completely engulfed the enemy's army, and the large, fluttering flags among them further demonstrated the significant advantage of the Red Maple City army in the early stages of the battle.

But the "superhuman" troops of the Black Vanguard Army were even more ferocious. Hundreds of orc berserkers rushed left and right in the Red Maple City army formation, and they were completely bloodthirsty.

This group of [Red Lotus] orcs were the subordinates of "bloodthirsty werewolf" Buzer. Their "bloodthirsty" ability also made their vitality extremely tenacious. Even if they were deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, they had not lost any personnel.

And the "violent swordsman" Bagri was the leader of this orc army. When Luo Xiu did not give him new instructions, Bagri was allowed to follow the orders of the Black Army as the "fang head" to avoid exposing his true identity as the "Sacred Abyss Apostle".

At this time, Bagri was wandering on the edge of the battle group. He neither helped the "orc berserkers" nor fought with the Red Maple City army, but he did not backstab those "berserkers" and was mainly neutral.

This was in line with the position of "Sacred Abyss"... Luo Xiu nodded, satisfied with Bagri's performance.

While he was watching the battle and thinking about these things, Lord Nelson had already walked down the watchtower and walked to Luo Xiu's side.

"Lord Luo Xiu, the 'High Priest', new troubles have emerged." Lord Nelson said to Luo Xiu:

"Now, the enemy's extraordinary troops have appeared, and their 'Berserker Legion' will be dealt with by the knights of the border court, but, look over there..."

As he said this, Lord Nelson pointed to the center of the battlefield, behind a strange colored curtain emitting a strange aura.

A group of [Lost] believers wearing dark purple cloaks were constantly infusing spirituality into the curtain. And the curtain was also extending and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, enveloping the camp behind the dark army in a circular shape.

"Lord Baines once told me that it was another secret enemy unit, the 'Spellcaster Corps'."

"They can spread plague and curses on the battlefield, and use their unique 'curse binding' method to enhance the strength of their army and weaken our army."

Lord Nelson said: "For such an enemy, it is difficult for the knights of the 'Border Court' to deal with them effectively, and the warlocks of the 'Fangbei Court' need to beware of the enemy's last resort. So, I beg for your help."

Lord Nelson spoke earnestly, and after he expressed his request, he looked at Luo Xiu with hope.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu nodded and said:

"I understand, Lord Nelson."

"The 'Spellcaster Corps' can be handed over to us. Before we purify the curse spread by these pagans, try not to let other people get close."

After that, Luo Xiu said no more, but ordered the clergy behind him to follow, and then rode the "Golden Pegasus" into the sky, and his back quickly disappeared from Nelson's sight.

The clergy of other "churches" also followed and went down the high slope of the lookout and joined the battlefield.

Looking at the departing figures of the church's "high priest" and the clergy, Lord Nelson's face showed a solemn expression.

"That's the 'thorny trouble', Lord Baines... I did exactly what you said."

Nelson City Lord murmured, and at the same time he looked in the direction where Luo Xiu's back disappeared, and whispered a sincere wish:

"Then, I wish you good luck in martial arts, Lord Luo Xiu."

...

"'Spellcaster Corps'?"

Luo Xiu murmured softly, and at the same time he looked at the strange curtain in the distance that emitted ominous and interwoven with different colors of light.

He was riding the "Golden Pegasus" across the battlefield at this time, guiding the clergy of his church in the right direction in the sky.

During this period, they did not encounter any thorny enemies. Most of the ordinary black army soldiers were smashed into a bloody mess by the "priests". This group of extraordinary people who believed in [Glory] would also become killing gods at some point, leaving a terrifying impression engraved in the enemy's bones.

Until they crossed a large area of ​​the battlefield and were about to reach the curtain emitting strange light.

On the surface of the ominous wall, illusory arms of various colors began to extend, looking like dense, wriggling maggots from a distance.

The palms of those arms began to quickly condense cursed light balls, and the terrifying, creepy breath was rising rapidly.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu drove Pegasus to the ground, and he turned over and got off the horse at the same time, chanting the prayer of the domain quickly.

Soon, the prayer of "Pure Glow" was ready to be completed. Luo Xiu immediately released this holy art, and all the turbid and ominous spiritual impurities within a few dozen meters around him were purified in an instant.

In the next moment, the "ominous wall" in front of him suddenly emitted a gloomy and deep light, and all the arms on the wall stretched out to Luo Xiu and the clergy behind him, and the cursed light balls in their palms burst out!

——Boom! Boom boom boom boom! Between the clergy and the "ominous wall", a barrage of light suddenly appeared in the air. Countless cursed light surges burst out in the air, and the strong curse began to erode everything around. The already pitiful shallow grass on the ground quickly turned black, withered, and died.

But the cursed light surges that fell into the range of Luo Xiu's "pure glow" were purified and dissipated in an instant. The attack carried out by a group of "double destiny" spellcasters with spiritual infusion failed to break through Luo Xiu's domain protection.

This is a blocking curtain. Its purpose is to block the battlefield and provide continuous fire support for its own side... Luo Xiu thought to himself as he stared at the huge curtain in front of him.

While thinking, he had also completed the next few prayers of holy arts.

He first added "consecration prayer", "consecration blessing" and "hand of judgment" for himself, and then he began to pray for holy arts with large-scale attack methods such as "light wing sky punishment", "golden meteor" and "thunder of judgment".

While Luo Xiu chanted the prayer, the clergy behind him had also completed their prayers.

Layer after layer of protective barriers opened outward, and the "holy knights" each stacked "holy light protection", piling up the shield to a terrifying value.

The "priests" buffed other clergymen, keeping their comrades' combat power at a high level; the "priests" were preparing long-range counterattacks, and they were ready to rush into the enemy's cursers at any time, using their warhammers to smash all the enemies they met.

While the clergymen were praying, the [Lost] cursers behind the curse curtain had once again completed the spiritual charging of the curse light surge.

On the wall, the arms that had been drooping had once again stretched forward. Countless weird, maggot-like hands once again condensed the curse light ball, and the next round of explosion was about to begin.

At this moment, behind the curtain, a man with a face wrapped in bandages and oozing creepy blood behind the bandages had come to the center of the "cursers".

The man raised his dry arm, and the tip of the red staff in his hand emitted a weird mist of light, and a power more terrifying than the curse on the wall was condensed on the staff.

The next moment, the red staff in his hand shot out a strong red light surge, which bloomed on the wall.

On the cursed curtain, the condensed cursed light balls in those terrifying and strange hands instantly spread an even more terrifying ominous aura, and the cursed light surges immediately shot out in the direction of the priests!

——Boom! Boom boom boom boom!

Countless cursed light surges entered Luo Xiu's "pure glow" field, but unlike the last time, this time the light surge was not immediately purified and dissipated, but heavily bombarded the barrier maintained by the paladins!

The huge impact force and penetrating power immediately caused cracks in the protective barrier. Several paladins stood unsteadily and almost stumbled to the ground.

And the two triple destiny "paladins" of the church, Mayyev and Pamier, their faces also suddenly turned pale. The damage to the barrier caused them to suffer a lot of "spiritual" backlash.

——Boom boom boom boom!

The bombardment of the cursed wall continued, and the cracks on the barrier were getting bigger and more obvious.

Just before the barrier was about to break, all the priests saw that a dazzling wing of light suddenly appeared behind their "Master Priest".

And the "Master Priest" immediately rose to the sky, and the brilliance feathers on the wing of light were also full of annihilation power.

In the next moment, all the priests saw that the brilliance feathers of the "Master Priest" Luo Xiu's wings of light shot out at the same time!

——Boom! Boom boom boom boom!

The brilliance feathers of annihilation collided, exploded, and offset the light surge of the curse, and colorful fireworks bloomed in the air.

Under the offset of the "brilliance feathers", the second round of volleys of the spellcasters failed to break the barrier maintained by the priests.

Until the arm on the cursed wall collapsed again, Luo Xiu landed back on the ground. His sight penetrated the curtain in front of him, passed through the group of cursers behind the curtain, and fell on the man with a bandage on his face.

That was undoubtedly the extraordinary person of the "Fourfold Fate".

——He was one of the "Fang Heads", the "Curse Binder" Haqizi!

Through the panel detection, Luo Xiu quickly learned the other party's attributes.

While quickly browsing the other party's attributes and abilities, Luo Xiu's expression also became a little complicated.

... He had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he was "fighting with others in the air".

...
