Chapter 116 The First Quickshooter

Inside a messy little church.

The two second-level extraordinary beings, whose bodies were covered in blood and in a state of disarray, looked at the figure that was flying towards them with doubt and uncertainty:
"Who are you? You actually killed Charlotte?!"

Byron had no interest in chatting with the dead. As long as he killed the last two second-level ones, all the information in their minds would be his.

The only response to the two of them was a low shout:
"Winter is coming!"

The rare long sword [White Frost] was unsheathed with a clang.

He started from the rooftop with his sword raised high above his head, and slashed at the [Famine Hunter] who was standing closer to the front with a lightning-fast slash.

And what was different from the past was that this time, the sword didn't even touch his body.

The cold sword wind from the frosty white sword blade had already cut off a strand of messy hair on his forehead.

The famine hunter holding a long-handled sickle's face changed drastically and he didn't dare to take it head-on.

While falling to the side, he quickly recited the judgment inscription of his own magic weapon:
"The autumn harvest is busy!"

The long-handled sickle flew out of his hand, as if it was grasped by an invisible ghost, and jumped up by itself to block in front of him.

He imitated the movements of a farmer harvesting barley, without any defense, and attacked with a sweep towards Byron.

Even if you have to take the sword head-on, you must leave a cut on your opponent's body.

[Strange Items·Automatic Harvesting]:
"A sickle that can automatically harvest crops, used for both farming and fighting, is undoubtedly a magical tool in every farmer's mind."

Of course, Byron would not exchange injuries for a mere sickle.

In an instant, he seemed to have broken the physical rule that "inertia is only related to mass", and there was no hysteresis at all from extreme movement to extreme stillness.

Not only did he stop the sword move that was halfway through, but his entire body, including the equipment on his body, also flew up in the wind like a piece of light paper.

He dodged the sickle's slash easily, and the moment he landed again, he touched the ground with his toes, his body turned into an afterimage, and a flash of cold light instantly pierced forward.

Fast! It’s almost as fast as it can be!
A set of combos happened in a flash, and even the strange sickle could not change the fate of its owner.

Seeing the famine hunter's face turn horrible, he was about to be stabbed by Byron.

The support from the old priest in the rear finally arrived.

This [Coronation Priest] also demonstrated the dominant position of the Temple Sequence in the entire Silver Law System.

He held a mithril cross in his hand and chanted a prayer loudly:

“Those who hate me will be judged, but those who love me will be blessed by my Father!”

The holy emblem emitted an extremely brilliant silver light, instantly filling the entire chapel.

Then it condensed into an illusory cross above the heads of Byron and the Famine Hunter.

The latter had a silvery upright cross on his head, while the former had a bloody inverted cross symbolizing punishment!
Byron was suppressed by the power of the reverse cross, as if his hands and feet were wearing shackles, and his speed as fast as the wind suddenly slowed down.

However, the Famine Hunter was blessed by the Right Cross, and endless power poured out from his body.

He rolled over like a lazy donkey and dodged the fierce attack with difficulty.

This is the core ability of the second-level priest [Holy Prayer].

As long as you recite the verses in the Gospel of Creation, you can receive the corresponding blessings of holy light.

The more devout your faith, the higher the level of the holy emblem, and the more powerful the power you gain.

Among the most representative core professions in the Temple system, whether it is the Glorious Priest, the Coronation Priest or the Twilight Deacon, their abilities at the second level are the same, but they focus on different chapters.

They respectively symbolize the three different states of the Trinity [Creator].

"Die, give birth! Hunt for famine!"

The famine hunter, who had escaped death several times, was completely enraged and humiliated. He took out a handful of seeds from the deerskin pocket at his waist and threw them at Byron.

crackling
The seed shells exploded one after another, and all kinds of strange and bizarre demonic plants grew rapidly like an explosion.

The second-level core ability of the Fortress Sequence Farmer [Hunting Famine].

In fact, it can stimulate the growth of various seeds or seedlings in a short period of time.

Moreover, the plants scattered here are all magical plants born in the unique ecosystem of Bantaan:
Poisonous castor, strychnos nux vomica, caltrop, datura.
Some are highly toxic, some are hallucinogenic, and some can slow down movement. Not to mention that the opponent is just one person, even an elite Marine Corps can be easily wiped out by this move.

But he was obviously so blinded by anger at this moment that he didn't realize that his ability didn't seem to be impeccable.

It was the brief period when the seeds were still taking root and sprouting rapidly in the air, before falling to the ground.

Byron, who already knew the opponent's profession in advance and was well prepared, stretched out his hand, and a strong wind swept in from his palm, instantly condensing into a storm axe.

Treat it as a demonic weapon and swing it forcefully in front of you.

Boom!

A violent storm arose. Although it did not have much killing power, it blew all the demonized plants in the air back to the Famine Hunter himself.

Even if you are lucky enough not to encounter the most poisonous one among them, the deadly one.

Just a bunch of poisonous castor beans caused his head and face to be covered with blisters that looked like burns, which looked extremely scary and bumpy.

"Ow—!"

Severe pain attacked every nerve of his, causing a second-level transcendent to kneel down and wail.

The next moment, a flying axe made a circle in the air and shot out, splitting his head in half as easily as chopping a watermelon.

Byron can slightly control the flight trajectory of the battle axe within a range of fifty meters, and he can hit the target every time he throws it.

It can be in a magic weapon state, always maintaining the shape of an axe; or it can be in explosion mode, with a power comparable to that of a small grenade.

Of course, this ability is convenient, but it does not mean unlimited ammunition. Byron raised his hand to catch the Storm Axe that flew back, and threw it to the long-handled sickle behind him that was still automatically harvesting and chasing him.

Blow it away.

“Unlike the three passive abilities at the first stage, the consumption is very light, and you can keep using them as long as you have the energy.

The second-order core ability will consume a large amount of one's own spirituality when activated.

Throwing a [Storm Axe] with all my strength will consume almost 1 point of my spiritual power each time.

In order to retain sufficient resilience and maintain the effect of counteracting gravity, I can only throw three flying axes in a day at most."

When the familiar dog barking sounded again.

A figure on the corpse was automatically pulled into Byron's shadow.

A second-level undead servant joined the [Wild Hunt Legion], which made him even stronger and almost offset the suppression of the reverse cross.

Byron did not stop, he immediately swung the sword in his hand and turned into a shadow.

Using the [Iron Gate Sword Style] with the sword held upside down, he rushed towards the last second-level old man.

The next move is the extremely brutal "Wheel Slash", which can cut an unarmored enemy into pieces from the hips to the head with one sword.

The psychological quality of the Corona Priest is much stronger than that of the Famine Hunter.

Even after witnessing the tragic death of his last companion, he continued to cast spells calmly.

Perhaps it was precisely by sacrificing the lives of his companions that he could buy time to chant a prayer and deliver a fatal blow to the powerful enemy.

While retreating, he held high the Mithril Cross Holy Emblem and chanted the last two sentences quickly with an extremely pious heart:
"The Holy Father encourages us to preach the gospel of peace, to bear the fruit of peace, to be bonded with peace, and to put an end to unjust wars!"

“I will destroy evil beasts from your land, and no sword will pass through your land.”

He began preparing for this prayer as soon as the previous one ended, and it was completed just as Byron launched the charge.

In an instant, Byron's heart was filled with endless "pacifism", and he felt extremely disgusted with the sword in his hand.

Even though he was only three steps away from rushing to the old man and taking his head, he couldn't help but throw [White Frost] to the ground at the first moment.

He had actually been forcibly converted by the priest!

This chapter of the Gospel of Genesis is to teach people to lay down their swords and pursue peace, whether with their enemies or with themselves.

Since it was not a compulsory [law] from the legal system, Byron could not be exempted.

And there is also a hidden effect that most non-Temple Sequence Extraordinary people are unaware of.

——Melee weapons such as swords are not available, but ranged weapons are available.

When the opponent's heart is filled with pacifism, he will not think of switching to another weapon to attack in a short period of time.

This gives the caster himself an opportunity!
The well-prepared [Corona Priest] finished his prayer and immediately took out a crossbow from his belt at the back of his waist that could easily penetrate the knight's armor!
Even today when muskets are popular, it is still a powerful weapon on the battlefield.

The steel crossbow made of spring steel has completely gotten rid of the weaknesses of wood and animal tendons, and its power will be sharply reduced when it rains.

This makes it an all-weather portable weapon.

It is also one of the favorite long-range weapons of various magical supernatural beings.

Especially worth mentioning.

Two hundred years ago, it was the powerful crossbow that had just been invented that broke into the battlefield between Hastings and the Iris Kingdom.

This led to the continued expansion of the scale of the war and incurred high costs for mercenaries.

Byron's eighth ancestor, John, the Landless King, changed his demand for his nobles from service to providing heavy taxes to the country.

This change caused the nobles to join hands and force him to sign the Magna Carta, which was under the king's law.

The most important goal was to reduce the king's power to levy taxes.

It can even be said that without the crossbow, there would be no current political structure in Hastings.

"With God's blessing, I win again!"

The older the ginger, the wiser it gets. At this moment, the old man had already revealed a smile of victory on his face, and his fingers exerted force instantly.

boom!
However, the first sound was not the sound of a bowstring, but a gunshot.

In the state of [Son of the Storm], the speed of Byron's legs, feet, torso, arms, and whole body is enhanced, so this Iai Slash is naturally as fast as lightning.

It should be said that the skill that best matches the ability of [Son of the Storm] is not [Storm Sword Skills] but Gun Drawing Skills.

The current record holder for the fastest mortal gun-drawing technique is 0.0175 seconds, but his current gun-drawing speed is only half of that time!
One day, it wouldn't be a dream to compete for the title of the world's fastest gunman. No, the fastest swordsman.

Byron blew away the smoke from the flintlock pistol, put it back on his waist, looked at the priest who had fallen to the ground, and shook his head:

“Naive, although apart from the Silver Cross Sword Technique, my knowledge of the Temple Sequence is average.

But after the job rank was promoted to the second level, the ability and range of the logbook spying also improved synchronously.

As long as it is of low sequence and within a distance of six meters, the opponent's secrets can be directly read without spending any spiritual power.

Not to mention the abilities within the sequence, even the dark magic that I have never seen before can be seen clearly when the battle is about to begin.

The only regret I have is that I wish Violet hadn’t returned the [Rare Item Shotgun: Black and White Key] that she lent me.

Just now, when you walked into the passage, I shot you all dead with a shotgun.

So, if I use the revolver design concept to invite this Taiwanese princess to come to the Taiman Islands for development, is it feasible?"
