Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Are the "Guardian Knight Colossus" and "Yujin Barrier Altar" ready? This is faster than expected...

This is good news, especially at a time when crises are lurking, and it can greatly enhance the security of the church.

"Well, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded slightly and said to Mayyev, "I will go there soon."

He originally planned to go to the Holy Inquisition and ask Anthony to tell him about the task of investigating "Bishop of the Undead" Passaro. However, after Mayev told him this new news, the investigation of Passaro could be temporarily postponed. Set up.

The top priority is to rebuild the church's defense system as soon as possible. For this, the "Guardian Knight Colossus" and the "Golden Barrier Altar" are indispensable.

"Okay." Mayev nodded, and he immediately carried the files into the Holy Office and placed them all on the table "between the bishops" in the Holy Office.

But Luo Xiu was not in a hurry to deal with these files. He then returned to the mission with Maiyev, preparing to infuse the colossus and altar with the [Glory] spirituality.

…

The glorious church, the place of preaching.

The originally empty courtyard of this sanctuary was now filled with the remaining materials for building the "Knight Colossus" and "Boundary Altar".

And in the middle of the courtyard - the prototypes of three bottles of 'Guardian Knight Colossus' stood quietly there.

Those were knights wearing silver-white heavy armor. Ancient and mysterious patterns are intricately and exquisitely engraved on their armor.

The warm sunlight intersects with the lines of the statues, casting a faint glow over their outlines. Even though they have not yet been imbued with spirituality, they already give people a sacred and majestic feeling.

The hands of the knight's colossus hold heavy weapons such as swords and axes, and the gilt patterns on the blades are shining brightly.

In the center of their breastplates is a piece of extremely high-quality spiritual crystal, which will be the core of the statue's operation.

In the center of the three-cup knight statue, there are two unfinished "Yujin Barrier Altar".

It is a triple ring-shaped altar structure that can be disassembled ring by ring and moved to a designated location before being fixed.

The column at the core of the altar is also inlaid with a very high-quality spiritual crystal. Like the guardian knight colossi, it has not yet been infused with the spirituality of [Glory].

"They are all here, Lord Luo Xiu." Mayev said from the side.

Luo Xiu nodded slightly. He checked that there were no problems with the statue and the altar, and then said to Maiyev:

"Well, no problem. Then, one of the 'Glory Golden Barrier Altar' will be placed here, and the other will be placed in the Holy Inquisition. The 'Great Sun Golden Barrier' will be in charge of you and Anthony respectively."

In Luo Xiu's plan, "Missionary" Mayev and "Holy Inquisition" Anthony will be in charge of the inner and outer two layers of "Great Sun Golden Barrier" - he cannot stay in the church all the time. Delegation of authority is necessary.

Anthony and Mayev, like himself, all came from the Sina City Church. After getting along for a long time, they can indeed trust... Luo Xiu considered this in his heart.

"Okay." Mayev nodded, and he immediately called to the clergy of the mission house and began to dismantle and move the altar to the designated location. This took nearly half the morning.

While the priests were moving the altar, Luo Xiu walked up to each bottle of guardian knight colossus one by one, infusing their spiritual crystal cores with the spirituality of [Glory].

Under the gaze of Maiyev and other holy men, Luo Xiu raised his arm, and a faint light group slowly condensed in his palm.

Threads of pale gold separated and separated from the light group, and slowly lingered on the surface of the light group, emitting a soft light that was not dazzling.

This is the process of [brilliance] spiritual infusion. As the infusion progressed, Luo Xiu's mana was slowly declining.

When about a quarter of the mana was consumed, Luo Xiu gently raised his hand upwards, and the light group emitting light golden light flew towards the spiritual crystal on the chest of a bottle of knight colossus.

The light group touched the surface of the crystal, and then melted and merged into it, and the spiritual crystal also burst out with dazzling light.

The next moment, the engraved lines connected to the spiritual crystal also shone brightly. This glow quickly filled and spread on the armor of the knight's colossus, and the sacred and pure spiritual surge burst out from the knight's body like a tidal wave.

Click, click, a subtle friction sound sounded from the Knight Colossus. The arm of the Knight Colossus, which had completed the [Glory] spiritual infusion, suddenly moved and made a slightly sharp sound.

——Buzz! The sharp sound quickly disappeared, replaced by a long and thin buzzing sound like the tail tone of a bell.

The spiritual surge like a tide suddenly became more violent. Visible to the naked eye, the knight colossus suddenly took a big step.

It moves! The movements were relatively sluggish at first, but soon became much smoother.

At the same time, Luo Xiu's panel monitoring of the "Guardian Knight Colossus" suddenly had new news.

[List of skills and characteristics]

[Holy Colossus (Colossus Characteristics): A colossus imbued with the spirituality of "Glory", it has "Holy Light" attribute affinity and resistance to all attribute damage.

The Guardian Knight Colossus can only be activated within the scope of a church that has built an "Altar of the God of Xuyu" and has been granted the favor of Xuyu. After activation, it will continue to consume mana. After the colossus' mana is exhausted, the colossus will return to the "silent" state and must be infused with "radiance" spirituality again before it can be activated again. 】

[Holy Halberd·Brilliant Annihilation (Intrinsic Skill): Guardian Knight Colossus·Holy Halberd masters the power of "annihilation" and can use all "annihilation" holy spells from the first to fourth levels of "radiance". At the same time, he masters the special "annihilation" holy spell— - "Hui Anniu Circle Formation".

Radiant Annihilation Circle: The guardian knight's colossus pierces the giant halberd into the earth. Using the colossus as the origin, a large-scale "ring of annihilation" bursts out to the periphery several times, each time causing 300% of the magic attack's "holy light" attribute damage, and a large amount of damage. There is a probability of applying a "holy light" resistance penetration to all targets within the range, and adding a stun state.

When the "Ring of Annihilation" erupts for the last time, a large-scale beam of annihilation light will erupt from bottom to top, causing "holy light" attribute damage of 600% physical attack + 600% magic attack to all targets within the range, and knocking all targets into the air. 】

【……】

If functionality is not discussed, the combat effectiveness of "Guardian Knight Colossus" is even stronger than "Void Guardian" Amber.

Luo Xiu browsed the panel of the colossus while thinking about other things.

It's a pity that the Guardian Knight Colossus has special restrictions - it cannot be taken outside the church, otherwise it will shock Koros, Babelun and Passaro with the full [Glory]!

The colossus of the guardian knight had just activated its spirituality. Under Luo Xiu's thinking and focused gaze, he held the gilded giant halberd in both hands and strode outside the courtyard of the mission house.

…

Mayev, the chief officer of the "Missionary House", looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of shock in his heart.

Even when he was in the Sina City Church, Maiyev had already seen the "Guardian Knight Colossus", but this was the first time he witnessed such a huge "dead thing" become a "living thing".

Then, he watched Luo Xiu, who was "hosting the grand ceremony", repeat the previous process, and once again condensed a ball of light in the palm of his hand. After pouring a sufficient amount of [brilliance] spirituality into it, he delivered the ball of light to the chest of another bottle knight colossus. Among the spiritual crystals.

The second bottle of Guardian Knight Colossus was soon "activated". Under the control of Luo Xiu, it took heavy steps and walked outside the courtyard of the mission.

The activation process of the third bottle of Guardian Knight Colossus was also the same, but Luo Xiu did not control it to leave the mission this time, but left it in place.

"It's here to stay."

Luo Xiu turned around and said to Maiyev: "There are two other giant statues of knights, one of which is guarded at the Holy Inquisition and the other is guarded at the Secret Fortress. Maiyev, you need to send someone to inspect and maintain them regularly."

"Okay." Mayev nodded and quickly wrote down the requirements of the 'big sacrifice'.

After that, after the priests of the missionary station fixed the "Golden Altar" in the missionary, Luo Xiu walked to the altar and poured spirituality into the core of the altar just like he did when he poured spirituality into the "Guardian Knight Colossus".

Starting from the spiritual crystal in the center of the altar, the light gradually changes from pale gold to bright. The surging spirituality spread out layer by layer from the inside out, from top to bottom, and the power of the "Great Sun Golden Barrier" has been condensed and formed in it.

After completing the infusion, Luo Xiu immediately opened the "Great Sun Golden Barrier".

The core spiritual crystal of the Yaojin Altar suddenly shot upwards with a beam of light flowing with golden light.

Subsequently, a brighter, purer, and more dazzling golden light beam burst out from the "Altar of the Immortal Statue" at the core of the entire church.

A curtain of light flowing with golden light slowly descended and spread in a semicircle from the sky. The veil of enchantment finally enveloped the entire church, completely separating the church from the inside and the outside.

Everything was normal when the "Great Sun Golden Barrier" was activated. Luo Xiu immediately removed the barrier and said to Mayyev:

"Okay, the spiritual infusion of the colossus and the altar has been completed. I will give you the authority to open it. In critical moments, don't hesitate to open it."

Then, Luo Xiu opened his palm, and a vague golden seal appeared on his palm.

A faint golden light was pulled out from the engraving and penetrated into Mayev's body like a hair.

It contained the authority to activate a "Golden Barrier Altar", and Mayev accepted it solemnly.

"I understand." Mayev nodded.

After completing all this, Luo Xiu left the mission and went to the Holy Inquisition as planned.

…

The Church of Glory, the place of judgment.

After the priests of the mission moved another "Brilliant Gold Altar" here, Luo Xiu first went to the courtyard of the Holy Inquisition, filled the altar with the spirit of "Glory", and activated it.

Afterwards, he went to Anthony and gave him the authority to activate the Yaojin Barrier.

At this time, Anthony had just finished his night patrol and returned to the "Holy Judgment Place". Before he could rest, "Grand Priest" Luo Xiu came to the door.

Anthony, who was a little troubled, steeled himself and went to the sacrament room.

He first solemnly accepted the authority of Yaojin Barrier, and then reported to Luo Xiu the situation of the night patrol the previous day.

"We did find a few 'Black Fangs' hiding in the main street. When they saw us, they attacked us fiercely."

"And when they were discovered, they did seem to be planning some conspiracies... For example, some of them 'Black Fangs' wore the clothes of civilians, and even the clothes of the side courtyard, the obelisk courtyard and the clergy of our church. Prepare to start a riot and cause panic."

After a pause, Anthony continued: "But there is no need to worry - Pamier, I, and other Holy Inquisitors have eliminated them. Now the area around the church is relatively safe."

Relatively safe... Luo Xiu nodded, and then told Anthony about the investigation of "Dead Bishop" Passaro.

"You mean 'Bishop of the Dead'? There are actually saints from the Holy Tower Theocracy lurking in Red Maple City?"

When Luo Xiu mentioned the "Bishop of the Undead" Passaro Adoa, Anthony couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face.

His reaction gave Luo Xiu an inexplicable sense of déjà vu: "Huh? I'm beating the bishop?"

"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded again, "That was the information obtained from the interrogation of the enemy's 'Hardhead' Lias. The interrogation was carried out personally by the 'Grand Inquisitor' Baines. The source of the information should be reliable."

And the panel detection of Lias did not show that Lias had any traces of tampered memory... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and he continued:

"According to Lias's confession, the 'Bishop of the Undead' Passaro Adoa is hiding in Gusta Street. But we don't know where exactly."

"Anthony, I know that investigating the whereabouts of a 'saint' is a very dangerous task. There is no rush in this matter, and you don't have to go deep into the neighborhood. All you need to do is to do it without being noticed. Our people are planted at the entrances and exits of Gusta Street to monitor possible abnormalities in that neighborhood day and night. "

"Since he is the 'Bishop of the Undead' of the 'Primordial Monastery', the characteristics of the members of this hidden association are quite obvious. I think that since the 'Holy Tower Theocracy' has not openly intervened in the trial war, the 'Bishop of the Undead' Pa Salo won’t expose himself blatantly, so it’s relatively safe for us for the time being.”

"...I understand." Anthony nodded after pondering for a while.

"I will do what you say. Moreover, since the other party is the 'Bishop' of the 'Primordial Monastery', even if he has no plans to attack us for the time being, I will try my best to find out his details."

After Anthony took over Luo Xiu's task, the seriousness on Luo Xiu's face gradually faded, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, saying, "Well, I'm relieved."

After coming out of the Sina City Church, the original Captain Anthony has become much stronger.

Luo Xiu's "Don't worry" is not just a word of encouragement, but he sincerely thinks so - Anthony's level has reached lv.30, and the days of fighting have finally allowed him to break through his own shackles, and he will soon be promoted to the fourth level. It's fate.

Luo Xiu understood his status even better than Anthony.

Anthony, who had just completed his night patrol, had fatigue written all over his face. Luo Xiu stopped talking to him and after a few words of greeting, he stood up and left.

…

After leaving the Holy Inquisition, Luo Xiu prepared to return to the Holy Office to review the large pile of files that Mayev had brought before.

And just when he was about to reach the main entrance of the Holy Office.

--boom! ! !

The end of his field of vision was occupied by dazzling firelight, and black smoke spiraled into the sky, accompanied by a violent vibration on the ground.

That's the direction of the city wall! Alarm bells rang in Luo Xiu's heart.

He had already expected that "Executioner" Kross would not rest on the failure of the previous night and would definitely take some new actions.

But it came so quickly!

Without time to think too much, Luo Xiu summoned the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus, turned over and rode on the horse, casually pulled two "Great Sun Golden Barriers" to cover the church, and then took off towards the source of the explosion.

Looking down from mid-air, City Lord Nelson and a group of Red Maple City defenders stationed on the city wall were in chaos.

But outside the city wall - on the large gravel plain with a wide field of vision, there was no shadow of any dark military formation.

Only a thick layer of smoke was shrouded in the farthest distance, and there was a faint noise in the smoke.

Luo Xiu immediately landed on the top of the city, and City Lord Nelson came up to him as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and said anxiously:

"You are here! Master Luo Xiu of the Great Sacrifice! They... we..."

"Don't be nervous, Nelson." Luo Xiu frowned slightly, "What happened?"

"That is, that is the 'Hidden Omniscient One'..."

After calming down a little, Lord Nelson licked his tongue and said to Luo Xiu very quickly:

"That's the 'Hidden Elder' Babelun! He and his 'Anonymous' people set up something unknown outside the city, just in the fog..."

--boom! ! !

Nelson City Lord's words were interrupted by a thunderous roar in the distance.

At the end of the field of vision, a bright, dazzling light flashed, and more than a dozen streams of fire with orange-yellow flame tails rushed towards the direction of the city wall!

The fog covering the end of the field of vision seemed to be a little thinner for a moment.

Luo Xiu did see the figure of the "Hidden Elder" Baberon.

…
