Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 153: The End of the Ancestral Bishop (6k4)

"...'Ancestor Bishop'...Sandos..."

"…Him, what happened to him?"

Fabien, who was always on guard against the Ancestral Bishop at a distance, had a surprised expression on his face.

At this time, the half spiritualized body of the Ancestral Bishop was shaking wildly and restlessly like a shadowy dark green flame, appearing extremely disordered and unstable.

Bishop Zuling was holding his head tightly. The corners of his eyes were broken, and his eyes were bulging out in an extremely exaggerated way; a dark purple flame was emerging from the corners of Bishop Zuling's eyes; his eyeballs were already covered with tiny, deep red and black bloodshot, which looked quite weird and terrifying.

From the current state of the Ancestral Bishop, Fabien quickly recognized that it was a sign of imminent loss of control.

Bishop Zuling, for some unknown reason, was unable to control the powerful spirituality contained in his body and those wandering spirits. In other words, those resentful wandering spirits would soon retaliate!

"Backlash... It turned out to be a backlash..."

Fabian murmured as he looked around, searching for the possible figure that had caused the current situation.

Just by seeing the "holy beast" with the appearance of a wolf and burning with golden holy flames suddenly appear, Fabian was able to roughly confirm who that figure was.

——Rosius Carlos! Fabian had originally thought of letting Leonard bring him to see him first, but he didn't expect that their first encounter would be in this way...

Unlike the Ancestral Bishop, Fabion was still able to discern his surroundings, so he temporarily withdrew his spiritual detection of the Ancestral Bishop, and then re-radiated his perception to the surroundings.

Sure enough, behind the wall of a bell tower not far from him, Fabien sensed the breath coming from another extraordinary being with the "Triple Destiny".

His spirituality was of the same origin as his own, and both were endowed with the power of [Glory]. Fabion then withdrew his perception and refocused his attention on the ancestral bishop opposite him.

……

Behind the wall of the church bell tower, Luo Xiu devoted himself to allowing the "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir to wreak as much destruction as possible in the depths of the soul of the ancestral bishop.

Through the contract connection, Luo Xiu transmitted the surging spirituality to Fenrir. This greatly increased Fenrir's strength, so that he could cause significant spiritual trauma to the weakened Ancestral Bishop.

Before, Luo Xiu had chosen an extremely tricky time to have Fenrir launch a soul invasion on the Ancestral Bishop - it was exactly when the Ancestral Bishop had used a large-scale erosion shock and he himself was in a state of spiritual blockade for about five seconds.

Although the Ancestral Bishop's apparent condition remained the same as usual, his spiritual barrier had temporarily lost its spiritual support and had therefore temporarily lost its effectiveness.

It was also in this state that Fenrir, the "Nightmare Wolf" who had been greatly enhanced by Luo Xiu, was able to penetrate the spiritual defenses of the Ancestral Bishop and invade deep into his soul.

However, this is not a solution that can be sustained in the long run.

As the "Ancestral Bishop" of the [Lost] Fifth Fate, his mental barriers lost their effectiveness, which could only be temporary.

Fenrir cannot stay in his sea of ​​soul forever, and will soon be actively cleared out by the Ancestral Bishop.

At that time, Fenrir, the "Nightmare Wolf", would have to quickly dive back into the abyss, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would have been wasted.

Luo Xiu was not sure whether there would be such an opportunity in subsequent battles.

Bishop Fabion could no longer fight on. In Luo Xiu's opinion, there was only one way to completely kill Bishop Zuling -

Let him lose control! Completely lose control!

As long as the Ancestral Spirit Bishop cannot control his own body, it won’t take too long for those wandering spirits to take over the control of his body before they will make the Ancestral Spirit Bishop “explode on his own”!
"It's just that this...does require some 'extra measures'."

As Luo Xiu was thinking about this, he felt a tingling sensation on his skin, as if a tiny electric current was passing through it.

That is the real feeling of being watched and being watched.

"Bishop Fabion...he finally noticed this place?" Luo Xiu thought.

However, Luo Xiu did not shy away from letting Fabian know of his presence. Luo Xiu's primary goal now was to further break down the spiritual defenses of the Ancestral Bishop, so that he could launch his next move.

Luo Xiu then recited several sacred prayers once again. At the same time, he raised his arms and multiple balls of light appeared in his palms.

The ball of light flew towards the direction of the Ancestral Bishop, passed through the golden eyes on top of his head, and poured into his body.

……

"..."

The Ancestral Bishop was forcibly gathering his surging spirituality into one place, trying to expel the "nightmare" that had suddenly penetrated deep into his soul.

At the same time, he saw a ball of light flying towards him.

It did not come from Fabien's direction, but from the other side of the battlefield - it was the foot of a church bell tower, and the person who cast the holy spell was just a priest with a "triple destiny"!

Without Bishop Fabion's holy light-washing offensive to cover them, these four holy light balls would undoubtedly quickly expose the caster's current position.

"A mere priest..." Bishop Zuling had a look of disdain on his face. In his mind, even though he was weak now and was only a priest of the triple destiny of [Glory], he was not enough to cause any substantial harm to him.

If it was a "Paladin" or a "Priest", the Ancestral Bishop might consider backing off.

He was just a priest who performed the "Great Judgment" and he did not use the "Thunder of Judgment" or similar sacred arts, which made the Ancestral Bishop feel no threat.

Even when those balls of light flew closer, Bishop Zuling had already recognized that they were just balls of light carrying low-level holy arts such as [Holy Blessing], [Holy Prayer], [Purification] and [Healing].

"This little trick..." Bishop Zuling laughed secretly in his heart, shook his head slightly, and no longer paid attention to this side.

He decided to take on those rays of holy magic so as not to disrupt his progress in expelling the "nightmare" -

The sooner we return to normal, the sooner we can make our only opponent, the Fire Bishop Fabion, lose his ability to fight. Then this invasion of the Church of Sina City will be a complete victory for the original sect!
However, some doubts arose in Bishop Zuling's heart.

For example, why would these "support" and "assistance" sacred arts be used on oneself...

"..."

Bishop Zuling, he didn't have time to think of the correct answer.

Those balls of light that carried the sacred arts had transformed into surges of light, pouring into the body of the Ancestral Bishop.

"..."

“—Ugh…Aaaaaaaaah!”

When the classic four-combination reversal technique was directly used on the Ancestral Bishop, the Ancestral Bishop let out bursts of sharp wails.

--wrong!
——This doesn’t feel right!

Bishop Zuling's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he suddenly realized that the holy magic cast on him did not bring him any benefits at all. On the contrary, he was once again greatly weakened!
This feeling was exactly the same as when Fabion projected the Holy Flame Curtain at him before - at that time, the Ancestral Bishop also felt a sense of fatigue, but not as strong as it is now!

And those four sacred arts accurately passed through the golden "eye" above his head. Tears of pure gold immediately dripped from the eye sockets, covering the body of the Ancestral Bishop with a layer of dark golden film.

"——What did you do!" Bishop Zuling began to roar angrily.

Just a few seconds ago, Bishop Zuling thought that there was a traitor in the Sina City Church.

Now Bishop Zuling realized that he had thought too much - the culprit who made him suddenly feel so uncomfortable was actually the priest who had been lurking nearby!
“——Uh uh uh…”

As the Ancestral Bishop gradually understood everything, the erosion on his body caused by the reversal of the "healing technique", the strange lines emitting pure golden light, had spread to a large area of ​​his body.

The erosion lines that flow with pure golden light are revealing an incomparable weird visual effect.

And deep in the soul of the ancestral bishop, the "nightmare" demon wolf also began to create horrific nightmares.

The Ancestral Bishop, in his mind, began to inexplicably recall the heart-piercing pain he felt when he was given the power of the "Original Mother".

In the nightmare, the body of the Ancestral Bishop was torn into pieces, and then sewn back together with the supreme power that the Ancestral Bishop could not understand.

Originally, this process would be "planting seeds". When the seeds gradually sprouted, it was the process of the power bestowed by the "Original Mother" gradually maturing.

However, the nightmare woven by Fenrir merely reproduced the painful torture of the Ancestral Bishop being cut into pieces.

“Ahhh…Ahhhh!!!”

The Ancestral Bishop howled, his mouth continuously emitting heart-wrenching roars. His half-spiritual body and the already restless dark green flames became even more agitated and restless, already on the verge of being completely out of control.

I can’t… I can’t go on like this…

Bishop Zuling tried hard to stay conscious, and his gaze was directed towards the priest opposite him.

Kill that priest...must kill that priest!
Such a thought suddenly emerged in the mind of the Zuling Bishop. His eyes became more sinister, and the half of his spiritual body and arms had transformed into sharp blades!
He simply postponed solving the nightmare that had invaded the depths of his soul, and drew out some of his spiritual power to carry out some kind of arming.

A deep and dark light was constantly flowing on the phantom blade. It was a phantom blade endowed with extremely strong poison!
This is one of the [Lost] secret arts mastered by the Ancestral Bishop. The "Ancestral Phantom Blade" can transform into a phantom blade with a certain attribute damage effect. This is different from the ordinary tempered or enchanted blade. The "Phantom Blade" will cause complete attribute damage and impose a deep status abnormality!
The "Ancestral Spirit Phantom Blade" conjured up by the Ancestral Spirit Bishop at this moment contained a deadly poison that was enough to kill a triple-destiny extraordinary person on the spot. For the Ancestral Spirit Bishop, this was the most convenient and quickest way to clear away the impurities.

The next moment, the figure of the Ancestral Bishop suddenly disappeared, and in an instant he was teleported in front of the "priest"!

——Space transfer! When facing Fabion, the Zuling Bishop did not dare to use this trick easily, but when facing a priest with a triple destiny, the Zuling Bishop was fearless.

The Zuling Bishop then raised the phantom blade and slashed heavily at the "priest's" neck!

……

"not good……!"

Fabien, who was cultivating his mind and taking a break, was caught off guard by the sudden action of the Ancestral Bishop.

Fabion had never seen the Ancestral Bishop use the secret art of "space transfer". He quickly turned his spiritual focus and raised a ball of holy flame in his hand, which was filled with surging power and had been prayed for in advance, but he did not throw it out for a long time.

At this moment, Fabian is facing a big problem.

Luo Xiu Carlos, he is also within his attack range!

And once the "Holy Cross of Purifying Flame" that he hastily prayed for was fired, not only the Ancestral Bishop, but also Luo Xiu would be burned to ashes by the scorching holy flame!

However, at the moment he hesitated, the sharp blade of the Ancestral Bishop had already heavily slashed Luo Xiu's body!

——Boom!!! The dark green light suddenly splashed outward, forming a mist curtain that emitted a strange fluorescent light, covering the figures of the Zuling Bishop and Luo Xiu.

This made the anxious Fabien unable to know the outcome behind the fog curtain in the first place.

However, after a moment, the dense fog dissipated.

But Fabien saw a scene that he could never have imagined in his dreams!
……

The sharp blade created by the Zuling Bishop's arm suddenly turned pale when it pierced through Luo Xiu's body - it cut into pieces the priest robe that Luo Xiu was wearing, but when it passed through Luo Xiu's body, it was as soft and powerless as white paper.

At the same time, Luo Xiu's right hand used the sharp blade of a sickle emitting a deep scarlet light to heavily cut into the arm of the Ancestral Bishop!

Yin Hong's blood continued to flow out from the wound on Bishop Zuling's shoulder. Bishop Zuling's face showed an extremely unbelievable expression. He did not understand what was happening before his eyes.

“Why is it useless…why is it useless!”

The Ancestral Bishop screamed hysterically, then he leaped backwards, broke free from the sickle on his shoulder, and the "Ancestral Phantom Blade" created by his arm also changed color.

What Bishop Zuling certainly didn't know was.

Previously, the protective gear "Ghost Face Scale Armor" that Luo Xiu specially customized from the dwarf Mil had the effect of being immune to damage by the "poison" attribute.

After killing the "Colorful Royal Spider", Luo Xiu obtained another "epic" quality template expertise - [Colorful Royal Spider·Crazy Bloodline]!
This bloodline of madness also has the effect of immunity to "poison" attribute damage, and the superposition of two "poison" attribute immunities will form a more powerful "poison" attribute damage and abnormal status immunity!
This naturally includes the powerful poison added to the Ancestral Bishop's phantom blade.

However, the Ancestral Bishop, who did not know and had no time to think about these things, immediately revealed an even more sinister expression on his face.

“Hehe…hehe…hahahahaha!”

The resentful souls and wandering spirits in the body of the Ancestral Spirit Bishop have become more violent under the influence of the "nightmare" and have eroded part of the Ancestral Spirit Bishop's sanity.

When the Ancestral Spirit Bishop failed to kill Luo Xiu with one blow and became greatly confused, the wandering spirits who had long been dominated by bloodthirsty desires finally found a gap to break through the spiritual blockade of the Ancestral Spirit Bishop.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

The edges of Bishop Zuling's eyes were stained with deep scarlet.

However, Bishop Zuling, who had taken the initiative to take action, could no longer retreat at this time.

He knew that once he gave up on killing the priest on the opposite side, Fabion, who had already completed the holy prayer, would immediately cast a holy spell with extremely terrifying power on him. At that time, he would be in fatal danger!

The sickle that the "priest" had just slashed on his shoulder also made Bishop Zuling understand another thing - that was definitely not an attack that an ordinary "priest" could use. It was not an exaggeration to say that his power was no weaker than that of a "priest" or even a "paladin"!
Bishop Zuling knew that his only way to escape was to kill the "priest" first, or at least make him lose his fighting power. Fabian was afraid of the consequences, and he could not attack the "holy clergy" whose life and death were uncertain. Moreover, the strength shown by this "priest" showed that he was at least the successor to the bishop...

When Bishop Zuling thought of this, his figure disappeared again, and the next moment, he appeared behind Luo Xiu again!

This was a sneak attack without warning! Bishop Zuling no longer cared about his status and began to use this method without any limit!

The "Ancestral Spirit Phantom Blade" that appeared on his arm had now turned deep red in color and stabbed fiercely towards Luo Xiu's heart on his back!
The sharp blade had already touched Luo Xiu's back, and a strange, fanatical excitement gradually emerged on the face of the Zuling Bishop.

“——Die!!!”

The phantom blade on the Ancestral Bishop's arm, as he roared, was completely pierced into Luo Xiu's back and came out from his chest!

However, the scene that Bishop Zuling had expected, where the "priest" would immediately bleed like a fountain, did not occur. Instead, after the "phantom blade" pierced his back, the surface that was penetrated actually spread outward in circles of ripples like water waves.

Obviously, the "priest" was not hurt at all!

"Impossible...this is impossible!"

Bishop Zuling's eyes were wide open with anger, and the "priest" turned around at the same time, with the muzzle of the black lacquered musket aimed at Bishop Zuling's head.

--boom!

A dull gunshot was heard, and a large bloody hole suddenly appeared on Bishop Zuling's forehead.

……

After Luo Xiu was promoted to "Triple Destiny", he still did not forget to engrave the higher quality "Judgment" musket. This is a "green rare" quality Judgment musket, which also has a full damage limit of 300 points!
As an additional means of output that can be activated instantly, Luo Xiu has never given up using Judgment, but has instead kept it as his trump card.

After all, this thing still works well.

Before, when the Ancestral Bishop launched a sneak attack on Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu felt the "ghost face scale armor" close to his body getting hot.

——The "King Snake's Shedding" effect is triggered! When the one-time damage is greater than 50% of the upper limit of health, the damage will be immune!

This was the first time that Luo Xiu triggered this life-saving skill.

……

The ancestral bishop, who was shot in the head, suddenly fell into a state of intense confusion.

——What on earth am I fighting against?
The Ancestral Bishop, who had embarked on the [Lost] destiny and became a transcendent for more than a hundred years, had this feeling for the first time.

And with this renewed confrontation, the extent to which his body was invaded, occupied, and backfired by the resentful spirits and wandering ghosts became even more serious.

A cruel and bloodthirsty expression of fanaticism emerged on his face, gradually releasing the crazy faces of the "wandering spirits", and the color of the blade on his arm also turned into the deepest black.

His figure disappeared again and he launched another round of attack on Luo Xiu.

However, the leaders of this attack were not the Ancestral Bishop, but those "wandering spirits".

That chaotic and violent aura could still be clearly sensed by Luo Xiu even though the "Ancestral Bishop" had restrained his spirituality during the space transfer.

This is the Ancestral Bishop, attacking for the last time.

As Luo Xiu thought this, he also used his last skill.

A skill from "ancient heritage".

——“The Sealed Coffin”!
Luo Xiu's movements froze in an instant, his body seemed to be frozen, and a hazy, translucent black coffin appeared around him.

Then, in the next moment.

The figure of the Ancestral Bishop appeared from an extremely tricky angle, and the blade that his arm transformed into, emitting an ominous dark aura, once again pierced heavily into Luo Xiu's body!
This time, Bishop Zuling finally felt the real touch of cutting flesh and blood transmitted back from the sharp blade.

“——Hahaha…die…die!”

A strange, fanatical, and excited smile gradually emerged on Bishop Zuling's face. He felt extremely happy that he had finally killed the "priest"!

However, in the next moment, the "priest" suddenly came out of his static state, and the horrific injuries on his body were instantly healed by more than half.

"How can it be……"

The expression on Bishop Zuling's face quickly changed from fanatical excitement to astonishment and confusion.

The next moment, Luo Xiu raised his arm and instantly activated several sacred arts that had already been completed in prayer!
A bolt of pure and incomparable lightning struck down on the spot, heavily hitting the body of the Ancestral Bishop.

At the same time, the "Golden Meteor" with a golden tail of light also fell down, giving the Ancestral Bishop round after round of sacred baptism.

However, these are not means that can cause effective harm to the Ancestral Bishop. Their main purpose is to make the spirituality in the Ancestral Bishop's body more disordered.

The Ancestral Bishop, the left half of his spiritual body was burning with a strange flame, which seemed to have penetrated a certain boundary at a certain moment and instantly infected the other half of his body.

A moment later, the complete body of the Ancestral Bishop was corroded by the strange deep flames.

He could no longer control himself, and the "wandering spirits" that he had sealed in his body, when the spiritual shackles imposed on them were removed, instantly burst into joyful howls.

Luo Xiu could sense that Bishop Zuling was falling towards an irreversible end.

"No...don't...don't..."

The Ancestral Bishop wailed as he watched his body constantly deformed and torn apart by the violent force from within.

Finally, when the last flame completely devoured the "soul" of the Ancestral Bishop, the "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir also promptly broke away from his dying body and returned to the abyss.

Under Luo Xiu's gaze.

The body of the Ancestral Bishop suddenly swelled up at a certain moment, and then exploded!
However, what the explosion produced was not broken flesh and blood, but the materialized wandering spirits that had usurped the flesh and blood of the Ancestral Spirit Bishop.

"——yraaaaaaaaaa!"

The wandering spirits roared with joy and kept hovering around the original position of the ancestral bishop, as if celebrating their own rebirth.

However, with the death of the "ancestral bishop" who was the source of their power, the spirituality that made up the bodies of these wandering spirits was soon exhausted by them unscrupulously.

"——yriiiiiiiiiiii!!!"

The wandering spirits that were originally roaring with joy suddenly turned into wails.

Then, pale flames wrapped around their bodies and burned them into nothingness, leaving no trace of their existence.

……

Quiet.

Eerie silence.

Luo Xiu stood there, watching everything happening in front of him.

It was not until the kill reward of "'Ancestor Bishop' Sandos" popped up on the panel that Luo Xiu finally confirmed that the "Ancestor Bishop" was really dead.

This was the end of a generation of bishops, the "ancestor bishop" Sandos.

He controls the "spirits" and ends up dying because of the "spirits".
