Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 234: Fierce Battle in the Deep Night

The dark green dagger held by the gray figure quickly pierced Luo Xiu's heart and was about to penetrate him.

However, just as the dagger was about to pierce Luo Xiu's body and penetrate his heart, circles of light golden mist radiated outward from the puncture point.

The gray figure suddenly felt a violent recoil, and her body was then shaken away by an inexplicable repulsive force.

The dagger in her hand was also bounced away by the shock, leaving only the thick poisonous fog still spreading and diffusing.

"...'Poison Hunter' Alessa?" Luo Xiu quickly completed the panel detection of the enemy. At the same time, he walked through the poisonous fog without hesitation and walked towards Alessa's position.

He knows my code name and my name? "Poison Hunter" Alessa was shocked. After she missed her attack, her figure disappeared from Luo Xiu's sight.

Luo Xiu's eyes once again returned to a deep darkness without a single object or boundary. However, the spiritual energy around him had become very strong, and the enemy no longer hid itself.

Luo Xiu performed several holy prayers at the same time, and in his hand he had already prepared the Thunder of Judgment that was shining with golden light.

Immediately afterwards, a faint green light flashed at the end of his vision, and an extremely deep spiritual surge quickly emanated from there, rapidly approaching Luo Xiu's position.

——Swish! Three dark green lights shot out, making sharp explosions as they cut through the air, and instantly hit Luo Xiu's current location.

Facing the three surges of light, Luo Xiu did not dodge at all, but threw the golden lightning spear that had already condensed in his hand towards the origin of the surge of light.

——Boom! In the distance, where the "Poison Hunter" Alessa was hiding, a flashing golden lightning suddenly fell from the sky. Another lightning spear also shot quickly from a distance, bursting a series of golden lights and flames at the end of the trail.

At the same time, three dark green light beams shot out from Alessa also hit Luo Xiu's body.

The dark green light suddenly bloomed, and turned into a stream of ghost-like light that scattered in all directions. The fierce poison continued to corrode all the living things in it, and the area around Luo Xiu had become a life-forbidden zone.

[You are immune to "poison" damage]

However, the attack by Alessa did not cause any substantial damage to Luo Xiu. The prompt of "Immune to Damage" kept refreshing on his panel, and the accompanying "physical" attack was also offset by Luo Xiu's own shield, which was several points thicker than his health bar.

In front of Luo Xiu, the dim and dark vision became clear the next moment, and he could see the surroundings and the familiar church courtyard again.

That might be some kind of "field" cast by the enemy, whose purpose is to deprive me of most of my vision for a period of time... But now, that field has reached its limit and can no longer blind me... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and his eyes fell on the distance, where his lightning spear had landed before.

It was a small square pavilion in an inner courtyard, half of which had been destroyed and the other half was also shaky and could collapse at any time.

The gray figure before, "Poison Hunter" Alessa, was half hidden behind the uncollapsed pavilion. She was covered in blood and had obviously suffered serious injuries. She was looking in the direction of Luo Xiu with a look of half confusion and half horror.

She saw with her own eyes that their target, the church's "High Priest" Luo Xiu, took three consecutive poisonous explosion shots from her body and was completely unharmed!
"Could it be... that my poison has no effect on him?" Alyssa thought with some fear, "What kind of purification field is that? But this shouldn't... shouldn't..."

While the "Poison Hunter" Alessa was thinking about these things, the figure of the "High Priest" opposite her suddenly disappeared, which made Alessa suddenly feel a strong sense of danger in her heart.

She endured the severe pain in her body, redirected her own spirituality, and infused it into the weapon in her hand.

The snake-biting bow in Alessa's hand, which was emitting a dark green glow, began to change shape. The bow arms at both ends turned into two coiled small snakes, which bit a wound on her wrist that emitted a dark mist and drilled into her body.

"Poison Hunter" Alessa, her pupils gradually shrank into a vertical line, and the temperature of her body gradually became cold.

She is squeezing and shrinking her own spirituality, transforming it into sharper insights, which makes the world she can "see" fundamentally different.

In the black and white vision, she saw a ball of golden light moving towards her at a high speed. The light seemed to be lurking in the shadows, and its tracks were completely wiped out on the ground.

"What is that!" Alessa almost exclaimed. He had never heard that the priests of [Glory] possessed such "holy arts".

The shadow of the "High Priest" moved at an extremely fast speed, so the "Poison Hunter" Alessa made a prompt decision. She drew out the poisoned green dagger again and infused it with spirituality, making the blade of the dagger emit a dark and deep light.

A golden light flashed at the end of her vision, and the "high priest" reappeared, with a ball of light for the next sacred art already condensed in his right hand.

Before he could launch the holy spell, Alessa rushed towards him first. Along the path of the dagger in her hand, thick poisonous fog continued to disperse and spread outward, obscuring her attacking figure and blocking the direction of the enemy's pursuit.

The figure of "Poison Hunter" Alessa disappeared immediately, and suddenly appeared in front of Luo Xiu the next moment.

"Die by the curse!" A low and cold voice came out of Alyssa's mouth. The ominous green dagger in her hand instantly pierced through Luo Xiu's body.

Although he saw the dagger pierce the heart of the "high priest" all the way to the hilt, the other party did not seem to be seriously injured. He just frowned slightly and did not have any other reaction.

The "poison curse" that Alessa had infused with all her spiritual energy did not show any signs of taking effect on Luo Xiu! This showed that the enemy she faced was indeed completely immune to "poison" attacks, and the wound she had caused was only a piercing wound from the dagger!

Seeing this, Alessa was horrified. The outline of her body began to fade rapidly, and she was about to escape from the center of the fierce battle.

But it was too late. In an instant, Luo Xiu's hand had already grasped one of Alessa's wrists, and he used her wrist to pull out the dagger that pierced his chest.

The injured part of his chest suddenly flashed with fine streaks of light. The attack of "Poison Hunter" Alessa did shatter his shield, but the "poison" attribute attack was ineffective, and the incidental physical damage only caused muscle tears.

This minor injury healed quickly, and as Alyssa watched in horror, Luo Xiu's other hand had already clamped his neck.

The next moment, huge wings shining with glowing light appeared behind Luo Xiu. He rushed directly into the air holding Alessa. The countless brilliant feathers of "Light Wings of Sky Punishment" that condensed the power of annihilation suddenly shot out, weaving into a series of circular light curtains in the air, and heavily bombarded the "Poison Hunter" Alessa!
——Boom! Boom boom boom boom! Alessa was caught off guard and was severely injured by the flying Huiyu. Her body was immediately riddled with holes and in tatters.

But as a transcendent assassin of the [Ku Tu] profession, she quickly aroused the reason and desire to survive from the severe pain. Under the bombardment of Guang Yu, she bit her tongue hard, and blood spurted out of her mouth, turning into a closing, sticky thin curtain.

That was enough to block a lot of "Brilliant Feather"'s attacks, and then Alyssa retracted her neck and forcibly broke free from Luo Xiu's grip, and her body fell heavily downwards.

The moment she fell to the ground, Alyssa dragged her broken body and flew towards the bushes nearby.

Although she was seriously injured at this time, she was not yet in a "dying" state. Driven by an unprecedented desire to survive, she ignored the burden brought by her injuries and burst out at a speed far beyond her previous speed.

But she was stopped halfway. In the next moment, a bunch of golden silk threads appeared under Alyssa, binding her whole body and preventing her from moving forward.

Then, a golden holy spear that was shining with golden light pierced through her from bottom to top, completely nailing her to the spot.

"Poison Hunter" Alessa was horrified, and at the same time, a feeling of despair arose in her heart.

As a transcendent of the [Ku Tu] assassination profession, being restricted by the enemy is equivalent to handing his life over to the enemy. In a flash, Luo Xiu, who had just released the sacred art "Light Wings Heavenly Punishment", appeared behind Alessa.

He had already taken out the "Poison Bite" in his right hand and disabled the skill effect of poison damage conversion in "Poison Source". The surging annihilation spirit was gushing out from the Crazy Evil Magic Crystal, and the "Sacred Annihilation Sword" was ready.

——Boom! The next moment, the huge shining sword flashed with dazzling light and slashed towards the waist and abdomen of "Poison Hunter" Alessa!
The dazzling golden light burned Alessa's bleeding wound, and a painful expression soon appeared on her face. The sharp blade condensed by the "holy light" was about to split her body in two.

Just when the blade of light was about to cut off her body, the deep, all-consuming black light once again enveloped her, and Alyssa's figure disappeared.

Luo Xiu's "Sword of Holy Annihilation" also lost its target. He slashed down with the sword to the end of his swing, and then he heard the sound of several trees falling to the ground.

"...It's really troublesome."

Along with the sound of trees falling, Luo Xiu heard the vague, joking voice from before.

Something passed in front of him and kidnapped the "Poison Hunter" Alessa at the last moment, saving her from being beheaded.

But Luo Xiu's slash did not completely miss the target. He had already smelled a strong smell of blood, and before the pitch-black scene really enveloped him, he had already seen Alessa's severed arm rolling and falling to the ground.

When Alessa was rescued, everything was still within Luo Xiu's expectations.

Rather, he was just waiting for the second enemy of the "Quadruple Fate" to show up!

Luo Xiu then retracted the "Poisonous Bite" and at the same time completed the prayer for the next "Holy Art", summoning Fenrir in the "Glory" holy flame form.

Fenrir's huge figure soon gathered beside him. As his [Abyss] form sublimated into the "Cinder Wolf King", Fenrir's [Glorious] form also advanced to the "Holy Flame Wolf King".

Fenrir, the "Holy Flame Wolf King", smelled the bloody scent the moment he was summoned.

"Go ahead, Fenrir."

Luo Xiu then gave it an order:
"Go find, go hunt for your food."

"Awoo!" The golden flames around Fenrir's body trembled for a moment, and his figure rushed into the distance like a fireball, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Luo Xiu stared at the direction of Fenrir's pursuit, and at the same time completed the prayer to summon the next "holy beast".

The "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus soon showed up. Luo Xiu grasped its glowing but not scorching flaming mane with one hand, turned over and rode on the horse's back, then followed the traces left by Fenrir.

……

"Shadow Warrior" Bode summoned the dark realm again and rescued "Poison Hunter" Alessa from the "High Priest".

While the effect of the domain had not yet disappeared, Bode was holding Alessa's waist and running away from the battlefield in front of them.

"That 'high priest' of the church... he is indeed extraordinary..."

Bode thought to himself that he had been hiding in the dark and witnessed the whole process of Alessa being defeated. He felt that it was a completely one-sided crushing.

Now he could finally understand why the giant "Executioner" said that the "High Priest" of this church would be the most difficult enemy.

Attacks with the "poison" attribute cannot have any effect on him, and even other damage will be completely offset by his ridiculously thick shield!

"Monster..." Bode, who had watched the whole process, couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Since the "Poison Hunter" couldn't break through his defense, Bode was not confident that as an "assassin" with the same destiny as [Ku Tu], he could do more than the "Poison Hunter".

It was for this reason that the Shadow Warrior Bode chose to flee. For him, he already knew what the "High Priest" of the church was like, so there was no need to delay for too long.

That was one of the "experiences" that allowed Bode to survive as the "Leopard" until now. Although he had boasted to the "Executioner" Afatak before, there were still many opportunities to truly "solve" the "Master of the Priest", and Bode was not in a hurry at all.

As Bode was thinking this, he heard the painful groan of "Poison Hunter" Alessa in his ears, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

However, even though he had personally confirmed the enemy's strength, "Shadow Warrior" Bode did not feel any fear in his heart.

On the contrary, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a strange arc.

Fierce, joyful, and excited expressions appeared on the face of "Shadow Warrior" Bode, as if he was extremely excited about the upcoming "danger" or "challenge".

"I wonder... what other cards the 'High Priest' has..." Bode thought to himself as he rushed quickly towards the breakthrough he had quietly opened outside the church's inner courtyard, and was about to escape from the church area.

But suddenly, the alarm bells in the heart of "Shadow Warrior" Bode rang, and he instinctively sensed the huge danger behind him.

An extremely deep and terrifying spirituality has caught up with him, and along with it, there is a powerful sense of divine pressure.

From the corner of his eye, Bode caught a glimpse of a bright, golden flame. The flames came to him in an instant, and the claws wrapped in flames were pressing on his back.

——Hiss! There was a sound of flesh being burned, and Bordet felt a sharp pain in his back, and his running steps became disordered.

Bode stumbled and lost his balance, and rolled on the ground with the "Poison Hunter" Alessa.

This fatal mistake caused Bode to be completely caught up by the "flame". When Bode turned around, he also saw the shape of the "flame" clearly.

It was a giant wolf covered in golden flames! It was now bending its front paws and making an attacking gesture towards the Shadow Warrior Bode!
What is that?! Bode was once again filled with doubt. Although his first reaction was a "holy beast", Bode had never heard of anyone in the "Glory" Church summoning and contracting such a holy beast!

Just as he was wondering, the "Holy Flame Wolf King" Fenrir had already launched an attack on him. With a leap of his huge body, he was already above Bode's head.

——Boom! Then, just like a meteorite falling from the sky, Fenrir crashed down to the spot where Bode had been. Rings of scorching fire spread outward, and the terrifying power of annihilation had turned all the fragile things around it into dust.

The figure of the "Shadow Warrior" Bode was engulfed by flames in an instant and disappeared from Fenrir's sight.

Only the rising golden flames remained, reflecting the swirling smoke, the church's inner courtyard, and the originally quiet deep night sky.
