Path of light

Chapter 606 607. Isnes

Ever since Roy discovered that the Holy Light Tree could absorb unstable dark energy and transform it into holy light power when hunting dark creatures, Roy began to actively participate in hunting.

No matter which hunting team found dark monsters outside, Roy would follow the hunting team to the scene.

At the moment when the dark creatures completely dissipated, countless unstable dark energy became nutrients for the Holy Light Tree, which transformed it into extremely pure holy light power. The Holy Light Tree bloomed countless light flowers, which sprinkled pure holy light power under the tree.

Roy quickly replenished these holy light powers into his body...

As Roy joined the hunting team, the Holy Light Tree began to grow wildly.

Every time he hunted dark creatures, the Holy Light Tree in Roy's body would grow a little bigger, and the crown would become more luxuriant.

The holy light power that Roy possessed also became more and more powerful.

In a shallow pit on the north slope of a mountain in the Dark Land, Roy and Linglan Bronzebeard were almost lying down. They were covered with a layer of camouflage cloth, and their breath was blocked by the magic cloak. On the battlefield 30 meters away, three elf warriors were surrounding a black bull.

At this moment, the black bull was covered with several wounds, and a thick dark breath continued to emanate from the wounds...

The black bull charged at one of the Silver Moon Elf Warriors again.

The Silver Moon Elf Warrior held the sword in both hands, facing the black bull, first sideways to avoid the black mist sprayed by the black bull, and then inserted a sword into the bull's back. The series of actions were all done very gracefully.

Roy was amazed at how the elf sword dancer could show his graceful dancing in battle, and Linglan Bronzebeard, who was beside Roy, frowned and muttered:

"The sword dancer's sword-drawing action is very handsome. If his action was not so fancy, perhaps the black bull would have been cut into a pool of beef by now."

"I think it's okay!"

Roy expressed his different opinion, causing the dwarf uncle to roll his eyes.

Roy and Linglan Bronzebeard often go out together, so the two have become more and more familiar with each other, and occasionally they will joke with each other...

"Roy, look over there!"

The dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard said to Roy hurriedly.

As he spoke, he had already picked up the shield in his hand, and his body hiding in the sand pit also slightly arched.

When Roy looked over, he saw that the bull, which was filled with a dark aura, had a ball of black flames on its body, and a large number of black spots appeared on its body. The diffused dark aura swept across the entire battlefield.

Then two giant tornadoes more than ten meters high appeared beside the bull and rushed forward at the same time.

The black bull followed the giant tornado, trying to break through the encirclement with the momentum of the tornado.

...

It had reached a state of exhaustion...

The black bull began to run quickly and roared towards the dark red sky. The large amount of black fog that spread outside was quickly gathered together by the tornado, and the elf ranger guarding that direction was forced back by the tornado.

At this moment, a black figure rushed out from the narrow gap between the two tornadoes.

The black bull finally found a gap in the encirclement and rushed out with a roar through the gap between the two tornadoes.

The three Silver Moon elves immediately followed the black bull. They didn't want to let the black bull run away...

...

In the eyes of Roy and the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard, the scene was completely different.

Because the black bull actually rushed directly towards Roy's hiding place, and the speed was very fast...

"Roy, the black bull is running towards us, get ready for battle!" The dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard shouted, and then quickly stood up from the sand pit, holding the dwarf chain shield in his hand, with his legs in a bow stance, and rushed towards the black bull...

When the black bull was about to run in front of Roy, a very clear shadow of the dwarf ancestor appeared behind the dwarf.

The shadow of the dwarf ancestor held a dwarf chain shield, and almost kept the same action as Linglan Bronzebeard.

The black bull was like a huge steam train. When it ran in front of Roy, the hillside was shaking violently.

Roy even felt that if the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard was hit by the black bull, he might be knocked away for a long distance...

At this moment, Roy, who was blocked by Linglan Bronzebeard, quickly recited a prayer, and a small silver hammer flew out of Roy's hand.

The hammer hit the black bull's forehead directly.

‘Hammer of Punishment’

The moment the silver hammer touched the black bull's body, the black bull's soul was shaken, and then the black bull fell to the sand and turned into a ball of thick black gas.

Roy had no intention of stopping at this moment. He quickly condensed a holy light bullet in his hand and threw it at the black bull.

The holy light bullet exploded, and an extremely strong holy light aura spread out, which found the black bull that was about to turn into dark gas and escape.

The black bull's body was revealed, and it became extremely weak at this moment.

Roy recited a more complicated prayer, and Roy found a sacred pattern under his feet. The second silver hammer appeared in front of Roy and was thrown out by Roy.

This was the first time Roy threw the ‘Hammer of Wrath’ since his body was infused with the holy light of the Holy Light Tree.

When the Dark Bull was hit hard, Roy wanted to know what would happen if he threw this hammer of anger...

'boom'

With a deep muffled sound, the Black Bull was hit by a small silver hammer right in front of Roy and Linglan Bronzebeard, and even its soul was completely dissipated...

Roy stood in front of the sand pit and looked at the Black Bull that quickly dissipated. The powerful aura of the great priest was completely revealed at this moment.

He holds the sacred scepter in one hand and the Book of Judgment in the other.

His hands were wrapped in holy light, and the divine aura was constantly exuding from his translucent fingers.

Under the dark red sky, the aura of the holy light is particularly dazzling...

A large amount of unstable dark breath was involved in the magic vortex around Roy. The entire Holy Light Tree quickly absorbed the unstable dark breath, and then transformed it into the pure power of holy light, nourishing Roy's body.

…

It was already that night when the group of people met up with the main force.

Byron Thor, Linglan Bronzebeard, the great magician Dalakli and Roy sat around and chatted.

After listening to Linglan Bronzebeard’s exaggerated story, Byron Thor praised:

"Well done, Roy, are you going to take the route of a battle priest in the future?"

Roy replied: "Well, there is such a plan!"

Hearing what Roy said, Byron Thor and Linglan Bronzebeard looked at each other, and then Byron Thor said to Roy:

"If you want to go down the road of temple priest, we may not be able to help you much, but if you want to become a battle priest, I think among the three of us, Linglan Bronzebeard may Most importantly, the dwarves have unique fighting methods due to their natural power, especially Linglan. Bronzebeard’s ability to control shields can be said to be extremely outstanding among the second-level experts. ”

After saying that, Byron Thor picked up the thick book of judgment and explained to Roy:

"Roy, the surface of the prayer book in your hand is covered with a layer of copper, and the copper pages are inlaid with tenacity magic circles. Obviously, when I originally designed this prayer book, I had thought of using it. It is used as a heavy shield. You should ask Linglan Bronzebeard for advice on how to use the shield..."

After hearing what Byron Thor said, Roy looked at the dwarf uncle.

Linglan Bronzebeard stood up directly, raised the shield on his arm, and said loudly:

"Come on, Roy! Let me see how you usually use this book of prayers."

"..."

Unexpectedly, Linglan Bronzebeard would agree so readily, holding a shield habitually.

Roy quickly stood up. He smiled at Roy and indicated that Roy could pick up the book of prayers...

Raising the shield and assuming a defensive posture, these actions are done in one go.

Roy began to try to learn some shield-holding moves of the Shield Warrior during his journey.

He learned quickly, but he was holding a Book of Judgment that looked thicker than a dwarf chain shield, and he couldn't make a perfect block.

Roy's mental state gradually recovered, and many elves in the team saw it.

Just when everyone thought he might not be able to hold on any longer, Roy's condition continued to improve every day.

His positive, optimistic and tenacious attitude towards life has also won the respect of many elves in the team...

…

The adventure team finally successfully arrived at the Esnes Expeditionary Force camp after three weeks of walking.

During this period, the Tree of Holy Light in Roy's body grew more than ten meters tall, and was about to break through level 16.

If he hadn't felt that he had been promoted a little too fast recently and was struggling to suppress the power of the Holy Light in his body, he might have become a seventeenth-level high priest before arriving at the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp.

Sure enough, hunting dark creatures was of great help to his cultivation.

The two magical arts of Holy Light Bullet and Hammer of Wrath have also been fully mastered.

Before Roy entered the Esnes expeditionary camp, he found that the expeditionary camp was built in a valley, but the valley looked like a huge crater.

The camp is located at the bottom of a semicircular pit.

There were hundreds of old tents, large and small, and there were mountains of garbage around the camp.

The entire camp looks extremely messy and dilapidated, like a battlefield relic...

There are four broken statues around the camp, and there is a small square in the center of the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp. Byron Thor, standing next to Roy, couldn't help but say:

"When this place was most glorious, the Temple Legion once stationed hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops here. At that time, a large amount of supplies came in and out every day, and a large amount of supplies were stored here."

"I didn't expect that it has declined to what it is now. The size of the Esnes Expeditionary Army camp in front of the door may not be as large as a larger wild camp."

"It seems that the priests of the Temple of Liberty have really entered the depths of the dark place..."

"Then how do they get their supplies?"

After Byron Thor said this, he immediately fell into deep thought...

The great magician Dalakli took the opportunity and said to Roy:

"It is estimated that almost all the priests who stay here are unable to follow the expedition into the depths of the Dark Land and are forced to stay."

Sure enough, after Roy's investigation, the number of priests in the Isnes expeditionary camp was only more than forty.

There are some old priests in the camp, as well as some priests who are suffering from diseases.

Due to the worship of the Statue of Liberty, no priest wanted to return to the Elf Continent.

Roy entered the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp and began to ask around for news about High Priest Reed, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end.

…

"Have you heard about High Priest Reed?"

Byron Thor set up the adventure group's camp in a corner of the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp.

Roy came back from outside, and Byron Thor asked him.

Roy shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

He walked around the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp for a long time, and almost asked the priests when he saw them, but unfortunately the priests in the camp didn't know High Priest Reed.

Byron Thor also said: "The last time I saw him was not here, but in a camp deeper in the Dark Land. Do you want to follow us and try your luck?"

He made this invitation to Roy because he saw that Roy was very adaptable to life in the Dark Land and would not become weaker and weaker like other priests.

The adventure group wants to go deep into the dark land, and they need a priest with them.

Now it seems that Roy is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, according to the agreement between Great Swordsman Alvin and Legion Commander Gabreth, after Roy sends the adventure group to the Isnes Expeditionary Camp, he must find a way to return to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp.

Hearing Byron Thor's invitation, Roy hesitated a little. In fact, he also wanted to go inside.

But thinking that the 5,000 elf warriors of the mine guards were still waiting for him at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp, if Roy went into the depths of the dark land alone at this time, it would really be a bit too unreliable.

So Roy finally shook his head, and then said:

"If you have the opportunity to see High Priest Reed in the expeditionary camp inside, please be sure to tell him for me: If you want to return to the Elf Continent, come to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp to find me, or bring me a message."

Then Roy stood up, looked at the Great Swordsman Alvin who was learning the swordsmanship of several elven swordsmen outside the camp, and said to Byron Thor:

"Since everyone has arrived at Isnes, I have completed this mission. I will return to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp in two days."

Byron Thor stared at Roy with some concern and asked him: "Are you going to walk back alone?"

Roy then smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I never said I would go back alone! In fact, I have helpers."
