Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Main Street of Red Maple City, Lane 36.

The entrance to the stronghold of "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond was originally guarded by "Priest" Howard of the Church's Holy Office and two "Triple Destiny" Holy Inquisitors for a long time.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Howard looked back.

Then, he gently leaned the long-handled warhammer on the ground, bowed slightly in the direction in front of him, and greeted:

"bishop."

"..."

"I felt some unusual movements, Howard. You stay and work with the other 'Holy Judges' to clean up the aftermath here."

Luo Xiu looked at Howard, looked at him and said:

"I have burned the body of 'Bishop of Ring Flame' Drummond, and there is no remaining spirit. As for the materials, scrolls and equipment that can be recycled in this stronghold, I will leave it to you to deal with."

"Don't worry, Bishop." Howard responded, "I will make appropriate arrangements."

Luo Xiu nodded, then turned and left, riding the back of the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus, and soon disappeared from Howard's eyes.

…

On the way to the battlefield outside Red Maple City.

While riding the golden Pegasus quickly, Luo Xiu also paid close attention to the movements in the [Player Forum] to grasp first-hand battlefield intelligence.

His newly triggered [Dark Sky Haze (Hell Difficulty)] mission confirmed that the information previously given to him by "Thunder General" Albert was accurate.

Judging from the real-time discussions among the players, the Dark Army on the opposite side has indeed erected three flags belonging to the "Executioners", but only two of them actually appeared in their formation.

‘Silver-Blooded Dragonborn’ Quilton and ‘Storm Lord’ Musset appeared in front of the battle formation—the former was a dragon hybrid of the [Red Lotus] destiny, and the latter was a giant warrior of the [Kutu] destiny.

They led a group of flying dragon riders and a group of giants respectively, and were about to approach the gates of Red Maple City.

The "Side Court" side is also fully prepared. Under the control of "Thunder General" Albert, 40,000 elite infantry, 1,000 [Supreme] campaign knights, and guard knights have formed in front of the city wall.

There are also the crossbow and warlock regiments on the battlements, the main infantry and cutting-edge cavalry regiments lurking in the city ready to attack at any time. The defenders of Red Maple City are waiting for the arrival of the enemy with the same hatred.

Luo Xiu felt quite relieved after knowing the information before the battle through the [Player Forum].

With the strong walls and defensive advantages of Red Maple City, if the two armies confront each other, I will definitely have the advantage. The only thing Luo Xiu is worried about now is whether "Thunder General" Albert can withstand the combined efforts of the three executioners. storm.

Although there is no discussion about this general in the [Player Forum] yet - he should not have appeared yet. He will not give the enemy a thunderous blow until at least two executioners on the opposite side are approaching the city.

In Luo Xiu's expectation for Albert - he should not fall easily.

But Luo Xiu also knew another thing deeply. If he wanted to win the decisive battle as quickly as possible and with as little loss as possible, he had to rush to the front line of the battlefield as soon as possible. In Albert, he was fought to the limit by three "executors". Before the end, join this fierce battle!

"..."

Just thinking about this.

Luo Xiu kept paying attention to the trends in the [Player Forum] and [Chat Channel], and at the same time opened another panel - the "Mailbox" panel.

There, lying quietly, was the previous kill reward of "Bishop of Flame" Drummond.

When he was in the stronghold, Luo Xiu didn't want to settle him immediately - he hadn't done the necessary 'metaphysics' yet, and a settlement without some sense of ritual would be incomplete!

But now I can’t control much of it.

Facing the threat of the three "executors", even he needed to respond at his best - at a certain moment, Luo Xiu made some determination in his heart and gave the "settlement" instruction.

[Kill "Bishop of Flame" Drummond (lv.51) and gain 13423 basic experience points]

[The level difference between "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond (lv.51) and you is 1 level]

[Leap level kill! Get 10% extra experience points...]

["Scorching Soul" takes effect, gain 20% additional experience points]

["Soul of Corruption" takes effect, gaining 30% additional experience points]

["Evil Soul" takes effect, gaining 50% additional experience points]

["Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond's highest attribute is "Divinity"]

[You gain: "Divinity" attribute +10]

["Noble Holy Judgment" takes effect, gaining 16 free attribute points]

[Reward settlement, actually gained 28188 experience points! 】

【……】

["Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond is a natural disaster-level boss]

[Rewards for killing natural disaster-level bosses are being generated...]

【……】

[Kill reward has been generated]

[Acquire the expertise "The Gift of the Blazing Ring (Epic)", free attribute points*10]!

[The Gift of the Blazing Ring (Epic): The Mother Goddess gives you the Blazing Ring - this is both a gift and a shackle. 】

[Your "divine" attribute is increased by 24 points, your "resistance" attribute is increased by 12 points, and the "fire" attribute damage received will be reduced by 20%.

When you use skills and consume mana, you will consume 20% of the health points of the consumed mana in the form of "fire" attribute damage, and the damage and effect of the skills you use will be increased by 30% (the fire damage caused by "Gift of the Fiery Ring" will not cause the owner of the expertise to fall into near-death. When the health of the owner of the expertise is less than 20% of the upper limit of the health, he will no longer be affected by the fire damage caused by "Gift of the Fiery Ring", and will no longer have the damage enhancement effect of the expertise). 】

【……】

"……Fuck?"

After giving the panel to settle the instructions of "Ring Flame Bishop" Drummond, Luo Xiu, who did not perform the ritual "sacrifice", thought that nothing good would come out.

But unexpectedly - this time it was a colorful explosion!

This is not because the expertise [Gift of the Fiery Ring] itself is so powerful, but simply because its effect is perfectly compatible with Luo Xiu - its negative effects can be perfectly avoided by Luo Xiu!

——Because the epic feat "Steel Destroyer" obtained through the quest [Night of Molten Iron and Burning Steel] has provided up to 80% "fire" damage reduction, plus the 20% fire damage immunity obtained this time through the feat [Gift of the Blazing Ring], Luo Xiu's "fire" damage resistance will reach 100%!

At the same fate level, Luo Xiu will be completely immune to damage from ordinary "fire" attributes - so that he can take the 30% skill damage and effect bonus provided by [Gift of the Blazing Ring] without damage!

Sweet!

After quickly browsing the refreshed content of the panel and thinking about it quickly in his mind, Luo Xiu has given the panel a "confirm" instruction to confirm the result of this settlement.

The panel interface floated with light and shadow, and the text content about this settlement slowly dissipated, and the new epic feat [Gift of the Blazing Ring] appeared in Luo Xiu's character panel at the same time - in the "Feats" column, turning into his new power.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu added all the accumulated free attribute points to the "divinity" attribute, making it achieve a big leap - truly making the attribute value of "divinity" break through the "1500" mark.

Feeling that his own divine spirit was also rising rapidly, every bit of flesh and blood, and even every cell in his body was greedily sucking the spirituality full of power, Luo Xiu closed the panel with satisfaction.

At this moment, the increasingly approaching Red Maple City wall had already outlined a clear outline in his eyes.

He could already hear bursts of rumbling coming from that section of the wall.

The fierce battle outside the city has begun.

...

Red Maple City Church.

After Thomas, Big Crocodile and other players returned to the church urgently, they received an urgent summons from their "Captain of the Holy Guard" Connor Rune.

At this time, more than 30 online "Saint Guardian" beta test players and more than 600 new players who have just joined the peripheral "Church Patrol" have gathered in the inner courtyard of the church, waiting to go out of the city to perform the task of blocking.

The "Bishop" of the church, Luo Xiu Carlos, was not there, and all the affairs in the church were fully handed over to the "Host Priest" Anthony to manage. He then counted the number of clergy who could fight, and led the players and clergy out of the church in a mighty manner, heading out of the Red Maple City.

Along the way, Thomas could not hide his excitement and was full of expectations for the next battle.

The other beta test players beside him were the same - when they just returned to the church to report to the "Captain of the Holy Guard" Connor Rune, Captain Connor also gave them a new task - let them each lead 20 new players of the "Church Patrol" to form a highly mobile assault team!

Because the players are almost "immortal", Captain Connor assigns them the most difficult tasks. They may engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy's most elite regiments, or they may divide into small groups to gradually erode the enemy's ordinary army formations with absolute numerical advantage, and these are tasks that Thomas likes to see.

Read the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar publishes this novel for the first time.

While waiting, Thomas and other players have arrived at the edge of the inner wall of Red Maple City with the clergy team.

The city gate was closed, and two side doors were opened on both sides. The guarding knights had seen the clergy of the church from afar, so they made way for them to pass.

"The presiding priest" Anthony nodded to the guards, and Thomas, who was following Captain Connor, felt that the guards on both sides of the road had swept his sharp eyes under their helmets.

They were all extraordinary people with the [Supreme] triple destiny... Being stared at by such a gaze, even as a player, Thomas couldn't help but shudder.

Soon, he passed through the side door, followed Connor across the shaky iron trestle, and arrived at the gravel plain, standing on the real battlefield.

He finally saw with his own eyes what kind of enemy the Red Maple City Fortress was facing this time-

He saw that the edge of his vision was already full of yellow sand, and even though it was still very far away, he could already see rows of figures like giant trees.

It was like a hill armed with steel. Thomas roughly estimated that each of them was at least five meters long. Hundreds of huge rock-like bodies were spread out in a straight line, which had a considerable sense of oppression visually, as if they were a wall that kept trampling and crushing everything forward!

——That was the [Giant Legion]!

And such a military force was not only on the ground, but also in the sky.

Then, from the sky, thunderous roars poured into Thomas' ears. He looked up and saw only patches of red like flames, circling and soaring in the sky!

——That's a dragon! A dragon with a fiery red body!

In the [Player Forum] and chat channel, Thomas had heard that the attacking black army this time had an elite "Dragon Rider" regiment. Although players have been discussing this quite enthusiastically, words and pictures are always not as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.

"Fuck..."

While looking up, Thomas subconsciously sighed.

The strength of the black army that invaded Red Maple City this time was indeed much higher than that during the internal test... How strong must the two "executioners" who led the two most elite regiments be...

Thomas sighed, and the thunderous sound continued to pour into his ears, accompanied by the violent tremors of the ground again and again.

The tremor became more and more obvious - the "Giant War Group" of the Dark Army was getting closer and closer.

The dragon riders who were roaming in the air had also lowered their hovering altitude.

Until a deafening roar resounded through the sky!

"——Roar!!!"

A ball of fire fell from the sky with this explosive roar!

It was the largest red dragon, its wings that spread over more than 20 meters were burning with bright red flames, and another silver-gray figure stood on the dragon's back!

The silver-gray figure drove the red dragon and swooped down to the battlements of Red Maple City. He seemed to be holding a double-helix giant sword in his hand, and the blade was bursting with scarlet dragon thunder!

He was approaching quickly, and Thomas could clearly feel that the temperature around him rose in an instant!

And Thomas had also "detected" the identity of the silver-gray figure through the panel at the first time.

——That was one of the executioners, "Silver Blood Dragonborn" Quilton!

A huge sense of oppression had enveloped the air before Quilton's attack. Even as Thomas was detecting him, the red dragon he was riding was about to fall onto the city wall!

—— Boom!!! !!!

Smoke and dust filled the air, red fog surged, and a huge roar came like a wave!

But the city wall was still intact, and another figure escaped from the gap in the city wall and blocked the attack of the "Silver Blood Dragonborn"!

—— Clang!!! !!! !!!

That was the figure holding up the red giant sword.

—— That was the current supreme ruler of "Bianting", "Thunder General" Albert!

"You finally showed up... the general of the 'chief of the round table'..."

In the rolling red mist, "Silver Blood Dragonborn" Quilton, his dragon head covered with silver scales, made an excited voice:

"I know... it was you who killed Quild! Albert!!!"

"I saw it... I saw his head! My brother's head..."

"He's dead... I'll take his place! I'll avenge him!!"

"I'm stronger than him!!!"

"Let's fight... let's bleed! Let's fight!"

"Albert!!!!"

-Dang! ! ! ! !

Thomas only heard the sound of the collision like a bell, which resounded in the suddenly surging red mist!

The sound of metal clashing was sharp and piercing again and again. The dragon thunder and the burning scarlet flames had spread rapidly to the surroundings, but were blocked and offset by the barriers summoned by the warlocks in time.

At the same time,

Right in front of Thomas, Connor, the "captain" of the Holy Guard, had taken down his warhammer from behind and pointed it at the opposite side - at the direction of the [Giant War Group], which was less than 300 meters away from the city wall.

"My comrades -"

His eyes and warhammer were burning with flames, and he issued the first and only order in a firm and cold voice:

"In the name of the Great Sun - the time of judgment has come!"

" - Charge!!!"
