Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 240 Wall of the Cursed

"……Um?"

Behind the "Cursed Curtain", a strange look appeared on the face of "The Cursed One" Haziz.

As a fellow extraordinary person of the magic system and a believer of the Lost who has a feud with the Glory, Haziz has recognized the holy magic used by the "High Priest" of the Red Maple City Church to offset the "Cursed Light Surge".

——"The divine punishment of the light wings"!
——That is a special skill that can only be mastered by the rare profession of the quadruple destiny of [Glory], the "Holy Judge"!
When he thought of this, Haziz began to feel a little fearful.

He knew that the church's "High Priest" was very powerful, but it was not until now that he felt that he had truly seen through the other party.

At this moment, Haziz recalled the report on the death of "The Announcer of Death" Green, which had long been lost among the numerous intelligence reports.

At that time, the hidden "Black Fang" who was dormant in Red Maple City and had not yet been cleared out by the Border Court and the Church had left a record of the death of "The Announcer of Death" Grion.

In that record, it was stated that the "Announcer of Death" was killed by the "High Priest" of the church, but as to how he was killed, there was only a vague record that "'Announcer of Death' Grion was shot down from the sky by the High Priest of the Church."

And the "Cursed One" Haziz, when he was collecting information about the "High Priest" of the church later, happened to see the record left by the "Black Fang".

But this did not attract his attention - because there are many possibilities for killing by "shooting down from the sky", terrain, traps or other sacred arts are all possible.

When the "scouts" reported the deaths of 'Shadow Warrior' Bode and 'Alessa' a few days ago, the scouts also mentioned the 'Golden Pegasus'. In Haziz's opinion, this is more likely to be the real reason for the death of the "Death Reporter".

Until now, when the "High Priest" of the church actually used the "Light Wings of Heavenly Punishment", Haziz finally connected all that he knew.

"'Holy Judge'... hehe..."

"...I didn't expect that the church's 'high priest'... would actually be the 'Holy Judge'!"

A deep light flashed in Haziz's eyes, and a sharp and strange laugh suddenly came out of his mouth. The eroded scars behind the bandages on his face began to bleed again due to the constant twitching of his muscles.

"You... I know you... I know that your 'Holy Judge'... 'Light Wing's Heavenly Punishment' is your... biggest trump card!"

"...Now! You have played this trump card!"

Haziz laughed wildly, and the scarlet staff in his hand once again emitted a dark and deep light, mixed with wisps of black light that surged and entangled on the head of the staff. The new "curse" had been condensed.

The "sorcerers" around him also infused spirituality into the "cursed curtain" in front of them, allowing the arms that were wriggling like maggots on it to stand upright again, and new balls of light condensed in their palms again.

This time, the curse energy surging on the wall had reached its peak, and was about to launch a third round of attacks at the clergy.

But at the same time, the "clergy" of the church completed the "holy art" prayers even faster!

The priests had already prepared the holy art of "annihilation" at this time. Before the arm on the wall could condense the cursed light ball into shape, it took the lead in shooting the "annihilation" light ball at the enemy!

This time, it was the turn of the light curtain woven by golden light traces to extend in the air. The sky was already obscured by the dazzling golden light, and all the remaining curses on the path were completely annihilated.

One after another, the annihilation light balls with pure golden light hit the arms on the wall, interrupting the process of condensing the curse at the critical moment. The spiritual power containing the power of the curse then backfired, and immediately caused blood to flow from the corners of the mouths of several sorcerers behind the curtain.

But the "Cursed Curse" did not collapse because of this, and "The Curse-Binder" Haziz had completed the preparations for his spell.

He swung the staff in his hand forward, and a surge of light was injected into the curse curtain.

Just as the golden light containing the spiritual power of "annihilation" was constantly spreading on the wall and destroying the spiritual power of "curse", a deep light suddenly appeared in the center, and all the arms were twisted together like a pretzel, forming a huge hand with a strange black light.

The Curse Binder, Haziz, gathered all the curses within the range of a curtain. He wanted to use this strongest attack to kill me in one second... Luo Xiu thought to himself. At the same time, he took a deep breath and said to the clergy behind him without looking back:

"No need to defend anymore. Everyone, prepare your prayers for the Holy Art of Annihilation."

"Wait for me to launch the first attack, then cast it in the direction of my attack."

After saying this, Luo Xiu asked the "Paladins" to remove the protective barrier. At the same time, he began to chant a certain prayer in a low voice, and his fingers gently covered and rubbed the back of his right hand, and a faint red light emanated from the back of his hand.

Seeing this, "The Cursed One" Haziz felt a little surprised.

In Haziz's expectation, the group of priests on the other side of the curtain should give up the attack and switch to complete defense.

But now those priests withdrew their defenses and did not launch an attack immediately. They just chanted prayers of unknown sacred arts.

Haziz didn't understand what their purpose was.

But he no longer cared about these.

The expression on Haziz's face turned cold, and the darkness in his eyes deepened. The cursed spirituality that was infused from the staff into the curtain also became more intense.

He then chanted:

"—I offer the blood of the curse."

"——It makes life and death fail."

"——Let the evil of flesh and blood die!"

——Buzz! As Haziz was praying, the giant hand on the curse curtain suddenly moved.

The fingers of the giant hand were stretched back to their limits, and the ball of cursed light condensed in the palm had turned completely black, with the surging power of the curse almost accumulating to the extreme.

Just as the horrifying curse light was about to erupt, Luo Xiu suddenly raised his right hand, and the dragon claw mark on the back of his hand lit up scarlet red.

——That is Level I authority, "Isor Lock of Time"!
Luo Xiu activated this power skill.

As the mark flashed a scarlet light, ripples suddenly appeared in the air around him and the clergy behind him.

The invisible lock of time has quietly descended, and the movements of Luo Xiu and the clergy behind him have been frozen in an instant.

All the light balls that had been condensed after the prayers were "hovering" in the palms of the priests, and the increasingly chaotic annihilation spirits in them also stopped flowing in an instant. The next moment, the terrifying curse light surge came crashing down.

——Boom! Boom boom boom boom! Above the curse curtain, the black light ball in the palm of the giant hand ejected a terrifying curse light surge, which heavily slammed into the ground where the clergy were.

However, just like water washing over pebbles, when the cursed light surged onto the heads of the church clergy, it was blocked and split apart by an invisible force, crushed into a layer of dark light curtain that splashed onto the surrounding ground.

“——hiss, hiss…” A wisp of foul-smelling smoke rose from the ground splashed by the black light, and traces of evil erosion quickly spread around, but still failed to invade the gravel ground where the priests were.

The bombardment continued, and the cursed light surged like a torrent, but it was still unable to break through the strange barrier surrounding the priests. It only made the surrounding ground become increasingly charred, and the thick fog of the curse continued to spread from the erosion lines.

"What..." "The Cursed One" Haziz showed confusion. He was unable to sense the spiritual touch of a real entity from the bombardment of the cursed light.

In his "spiritual" perspective, he only saw a rock-like object "standing" in the center of his cursed torrent.

But no matter how his light surge hit it, it could not destroy it.

Haziz wanted to infuse his spirituality and continue bombarding the "solid rock", but his spirituality was almost exhausted at this time.

The torrent of curses just now had consumed too much of his spiritual energy, and he was already feeling a little overwhelmed.

The momentum of the curse torrent was rapidly weakening, and in the past five seconds or so, the existence of the "solid rock" that Haziz sensed suddenly disappeared at some point.

The maintenance time of "Isol Time Lock" ended, and Luo Xiu, who was at the front of the blockade range, waved his staff at the moment the time lock ended, and several balls of holy magic light floated and lingered around him.

Some of the holy light balls of "Holy Light Annihilation" canceled out the tail waves of light emitting from the cursed curtain, while the rest of the light balls quickly flew towards the curtain and exploded above it!

Behind Luo Xiu, other clergymen who had already finished their prayers and condensed holy magic light balls also quickly flew towards the direction of the curtain.

The final aftermath of the torrent of curses was also offset and annihilated. Almost all the light balls summoned by the priests bombarded the curse curtain, the twisted, entangled black giant hand!
——Boom! Boom boom boom boom!

This is when the curtain is at its most "fragile". All the spirituality accumulated in the curtain has already turned into curses and blasted out. At this time, the curtain no longer has any spirituality left that can offset, block or resist annihilation.

Under the bombardment of a round of holy magic, fine cracks quickly appeared on the curtain.

The originally scarlet color of the curtain faded, and part of the golden light had seeped through the curtain and blasted into the group of sorcerers behind the curtain.

This tactic was indeed effective. The "Isol Chain of Time" caught the enemy off guard. They had no time to make any adjustments and were forced to give up their defense against the "Cursed Curtain"... Luo Xiu thought.

While thinking, the staff in Luo Xiu's hand was flashing with golden light, and the "Thunder of Judgment" one after another chiseled towards the cracks on the curtain!
--boom! boom! boom!

——Sizzle!
The electric light wrapped in the light mist produced by annihilation flowed on every inch of the curtain.

The cracks above it gradually widened, and the cursed curtain showed signs of collapse.

Behind Luo Xiu, the priests' annihilation bombardment of the curtain continued, but the sorcerer behind the curtain gradually lost spiritual control over the curtain and could only watch it approaching collapse.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Luo Xiu raised his hand and released the last "holy technique".

——“Golden Meteor”!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three huge meteors wrapped in golden light descended from mid-air, whizzing towards the collapsing curtain wall and heavily hitting the surface with the densest cracks.

Fragments of golden and black light intertwined and overlapped, and began to splash out from the collision surface in large flakes, scattering a light mist like stardust.

And at the moment when the last golden meteor roared and hit the curse curtain, the black light on it suddenly surged out, turning into turbid spiritual strands floating and wandering in the air, and completely dissipated after a few seconds.

The curtain completely became a "dead wall". After the black surface faded, a grayish-white base color was revealed. As cracks emitting golden light became increasingly dense, the curtain gradually collapsed.

Until the curtain completely collapsed, the barrier between the clergy of the church and the "Sorcerer Corps" disappeared. Luo Xiu then summoned the "Golden Pegasus" again and rode on the "Golden Pegasus" to rush towards the opposite Sorcerer Corps.

——He has been longing for a real harvest for a long time! The first thing to do after breaking through the curtain is to "judge" these "lost" pagans!
In this way, he can complete the improvement of all attribute values ​​of "Glorious Judgment"!
Luo Xiu had pulled out the "Moon-Cutting Scythe" from his bracelet and activated its "beheading" state. At the same time, he used the "Demon-Destroying Flame" to ignite a scarlet flame on the scythe blade.

——Shua! The sickle lighted up, and blood splattered everywhere.

He was riding Pegasus just as he passed by a "sorcerer", and then he slashed down with his sickle, cutting off the sorcerer's head from the neck!

Blood swirled out from the broken neck. The corpse ran back a few steps with its remaining strength and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, the surrounding sorcerers all fled away from Luo Xiu, but they still couldn't get too far and were struck down from the sky by scarlet dragon thunder, which shattered parts of their bodies.

More than 200 sorcerers suddenly fell into chaos and could no longer maintain their original formation.

The "Paladin" and "Priests" also joined the fight the moment the wall was broken. Holding hammers and giant swords with burning golden light, they could instantly smash the heads of the sorcerers they were facing or cut their bodies in half!

Haziz, the "Cursed Binder" who was at the core of the cursers, had his eyes wide open as he watched his compatriots die tragically one after another at the hands of the church clergy.

At this point, he felt that his spirituality had recovered to a similar level, so he stopped staying or resting and walked towards the direction of the "High Priest" of the church who was riding on the "Golden Pegasus".

The bandage on his face began to bleed again, and this time the amount was particularly horrifying, almost completely overflowing the bandage and dripping down like a spring.

“Glorious…Glorious!” Haziz roared, and then chanted in a hoarse voice:
"——I offer my cursed body as a gift."

"—I will untie you."

"——I will turn the bad omen into reality!"

At the same time, he opened his arms and exposed his chest, and wisps of ominous red mist dissipated from the outline of his body.

He has completed the "sacrifice", dedicating himself to the "Original Mother Goddess".

The staff in his hand once again flashed a deep, creepy scarlet light.
