Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 119: The Favored

After putting on the armor, Sister Vespe stretched her body, then took out the spiked hammer and multi-barreled musket from the coffin, put the heavy sarcophagus on her back, and wrapped the chain that fixed the coffin around the protrusions of the shoulder armor.

After Sister Vesper carried the sarcophagus, many dry arms suddenly stretched out from the ground below the coffin, trying to grab Sister Vesper's feet. However, when they touched her boots, those arms retreated respectfully.

Vespe is now no weaker than any saint in other churches in Backlund Diocese, and her strength can even be ranked in the forefront. This is also the reason why the Church of Mother Earth has not stationed any demigods in Backlund except for the vampires who originally lived in Backlund - in terms of strength and status, Sister Vespe is equivalent to the archbishop of the Church of the Night or the senior deacon of the Night Watchers.

Vesper slowly adjusted her breathing. So far, the armor on her body was in a temporary dormant state, no different from ordinary armor, just stronger and lighter than ordinary armor. Only when it was activated would this equipment really exert its power.

When she threatened Agaritu, she was at sea and was not in the best fighting environment. Moreover, she had not yet become the Earth Mother's favored one, and her spirituality could not support her to fight at the highest intensity for long. In fact, that was far from her limit.

Vespe felt his breathing become heavier, and he could faintly hear the sound of his heart pumping blood through his blood vessels.

This time, there was a high chance that he would encounter a high-sequence demon, most likely a Sequence 4... No, perhaps a tricky Sequence 3.

Sister Vespe exhaled a breath of foul air, which condensed into white mist in the damp and cold underground.

Although it's not polite to think this way towards the poor little girl, I can feel myself looking forward to and eager for the upcoming battle...

Sister Vespe picked up the weapon in her hand and examined it carefully, killing time while waiting for Altaïr to arrive. In addition to the flail and armor given by the god of war, all of the more than 20 magical items Sister Vespe carried were made from the extraordinary properties of the pirates or enemies she killed.

The bronze multi-barreled musket was named "Gospel" and came from the captain of the Iron Blood Pirates, "Reaper" Mornan, who had a reward of 9000 pounds. Vespe cut off the mast of his flagship and stabbed the broken mast into his abdomen. His name was engraved on the mahogany handle of the musket by Vespe.

The multi-barreled musket made of his extraordinary characteristics can fire six shotgun shells at the same time. Each flying bullet has been enhanced by the "reaper" ability. Even if it is hit by a bullet, a bowl-sized piece of flesh will be gouged out. If an enemy of normal size is hit by a bullet from the front, it may even be gouged out directly into a skeleton.

The hammer with a spike on the head is called "Saint", which comes from Samwell, the "Chaos Mentor", the third mate of "King of the Five Seas" Nast, who offered a reward of 8000 pounds. In the official encirclement and suppression of Nast, the ship he was operating was unfortunately chosen as a target by Sister Vespe, and the ship and the people were torn apart by the fanatical nuns. His name is engraved on the flat surface on the top of the hammer.

Every time the "Saint" is swung, it will interfere with the enemy's judgment, making it easier for the enemy to make mistakes in defense. The parry will always be a few inches off or the force used is wrong, and it will not be able to resist at all. In addition, every time the "Saint" hits the target, it will randomly construct a rule in a certain area, but the probability of a rule restricting the holder is small.

In addition to these, there are also the iron lantern "Beacon" that can pull people into dreams and command spirits, the iron scripture "Oracle" with sharp iron corners that can record other people's extraordinary abilities and use it, the two-meter-long axe gun "Judgment" with a crossed double sword pattern that can summon holy light, and dozens of other magical items of various sizes. Sister Vespe carefully engraved the name of the original owner on each of them.

This is an equipment configuration that ordinary extraordinary people dare not even think about. Even the pope of the church will not carry so many magical items - although they do not need to carry too many. It is conceivable how terrifying it would be for someone who can freely use so many magical items to fight.

Originally, Sister Vesper could not use this many magical items due to her own spiritual limitations. However, she was now also a favored member of the Earth Mother Goddess, and could use the two Level 1 Sealing Items, the Divine Blood Bandage and the Holy Sarcophagus, at the same time.

The Holy Sarcophagus can absorb spiritual energy from the ground, and as long as the user is still standing on the ground, her spiritual energy is almost endless. However, its negative effect is that if it is used for too long, the user's body will grow uncontrollably and produce various terrible deformations.

The purpose of the God's Blood Bandage is to quickly desolate the objects it is wrapped around, and Sister Vespe uses it to restrain the dusk power that has been contaminated on her. Its negative effect is that the user will also be eroded by desolation, which just happens to achieve a delicate balance with the side effects of the sarcophagus and the dusk power on Sister Vespe.

Similarly, when Sister Vespe uses magical items, some parts must be used together to extend the use time as much as possible, because only in this way can the negative effects of the magical items be achieved in her body. A delicate balance.

Only the most alert warriors can detect this balance, and to make initial use of this balance requires at least Sequence 7 "Weapon Master". Sister Vesper's current state cannot be replicated even by the best craftsmen. This is a set she collected based on her own tolerance, and only she knows the balance relationship.

This also determines that this technique is extremely dangerous. Once the spiritual transmission is not in place at a certain time, or the negative characteristics of the two items are not triggered at the same time, all balances will be disrupted, and the negative effects will be superimposed on the user in an unpredictable way, which is enough to be fatal in battle.

It's like dancing on the edge of a knife...

Sister Vespe sighed, not a sigh of regret, but a sigh of contentment.

Although as a favored one of the earth, worshiping the Mother Goddess all day long did calm her soul, but since she came to the sea as a missionary of the God of War at the age of seventeen, she had been deeply influenced by the brave and aggressive temperament of the Church of the God of War, even more seriously than Father Utravsky.

Maybe I wasn't born for this, but that doesn't stop me from knowing what I should do at similar times.

Sister Vespe bowed her head devoutly and prayed, first to the Mother Goddess and then to the God of War.

She thanked the Mother Goddess for her guidance and prayed to the God of War for her protection.
