Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 244 The increasingly chaotic battlefield

"'Holy Abyss'...?"

Froza muttered to himself in a doubtful tone.

He had never heard of a secret organization with this name in Hongfeng City or even in the entire Songyuan Territory.

This organization has at least five "quadruple-fate" and dozens of "triple-fate" extraordinary people. Its threat level is no less than those dark armies outside the city... and according to the werewolf in front of him, there is a "Lord" behind their "Holy Abyss"!
The true strength of the "Lord" who can control so many high-ranking extraordinary people, just thinking about his strength makes Frosa feel a chill.

"What are you daydreaming about?" The red werewolf in front of Frosa urged unhappily:

"I'm asking you what the current situation is. You should know that every minute you waste will reduce your chances of returning alive."

"Answer my question now, you damn idiot. My patience is limited."

"..."

"I cannot trust you, a werewolf who worships the way of the Red Lotus."

Froza shook his head.

Hearing this, the red werewolf in front of him had a fierce gleam in his eyes and revealed his blood-red fangs.

But recalling the Lord's "ban", the werewolf turned his head viciously, and was about to abandon Frosa and go to find another knight from the "Border Court" to ask about the situation.

But before he actually started, he heard Frosa's voice coming from behind him, and then he said:

"…But if your target is those monsters, we can still cooperate."

The werewolf stopped turning around, and then he turned back to look at Frosa again, only to see the wounded knight raising his arm tremblingly.

Frosa stretched out his finger and pointed tremblingly at the figure of the "tamer" Klauer in the blood corpse hyena group, and said:

"Kill him... Kill the beast trainer of Red Lotus. He is the source of the trouble..."

“Haha, I’m afraid you can’t bring yourself to kill him. As a heretic who also worships the Red Lotus, you…”

Before Frosa could finish his words, the red werewolf opposite him turned around and left, rushing towards the "tamer" Klauer.

Froza was left where he was. Without finishing a word, he stared in astonishment at the werewolf's departing figure. A complex expression gradually emerged on his face beneath the helmet.

This was the first time he felt "looked down upon".

"...Cough cough." After the werewolf left, Florosa couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed violently twice, spitting out two thick blood clots from his mouth.

At this time, the "hyenas" that originally appeared around Florosa had been killed by the "Holy Abyss" apostles who suddenly appeared.

The area within a few dozen meters around him was temporarily safe, so Frosa took this opportunity to stagger to a solitary tree to rest for a while, and simply treated his own wounds.

After his injuries were almost healed and he had gotten a minimum amount of rest, Frosa, feeling that he had recovered some strength, stood up again, holding a kite-shaped shield and a double-edged axe, and rushed towards the location of the "blood hyena" cluster in his sight.

……

As soon as the clergy of the church invaded the hinterland of the dark vanguard, they saw their "high priest" change direction halfway and rush towards the rising sea of ​​fire.

The violent explosion before had indeed shocked all the clergy. Everyone had realized that a terrible disaster might have occurred in that coniferous forest, so serious that the "high priest" had to temporarily give up beheading the "executioner" and prioritize solving the disaster!
Anthony, who was temporarily in charge of all the clergy, made a new decision immediately.

They also followed the actions of the "Great Festival" and turned to rush to the forest, hoping to reach the front line against the disaster before the situation became irreversible.

But someone seemed unwilling to let them go.

Just as Anthony was commanding the clergy to retreat, bursts of thunderous noises suddenly came from the camp behind the Dark Army.

Anthony could feel that there were large "monsters" moving quickly.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet also began to tremble, and those "giants" were rapidly approaching the position of the priest.

It was not until dozens of tall figures appeared in Anthony's field of vision that he finally saw what those "giants" were.

——They were all "giants" over three meters tall with ferocious faces!
Those giants were wearing specially made steel armor, holding equally tall and heavy clubs in their hands, and rushing towards the clergy!
Their strides were incredibly long, and the distance between them and the clergy was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Anthony's brows were tightly furrowed. He had remembered where those "giants" came from.

According to the information shared by the Border Court with the Church, those "giants" belong to the strongest legion of the Dark Vanguard Army - the "Giant Legion"! They are directly commanded by the enemy's leader, the "Executioner" Afatak, and are one of the enemy's trump cards.

And they dispatched the "Giant Legion" at this critical moment in order to prevent the clergy of the "Church" from going to the edge of the battlefield!
Seeing that they were about to be caught up by those "giants", Anthony gritted his teeth and was about to order the clergy to stop and form a battle array to fight back.

Suddenly, another deafening roar came from the east side of their battlefield.

The ground shook even more violently, and Anthony looked towards the source of the disturbance, only to see another wave of "giants".

But this other wave of "giants" did not emit the spiritual aura of "living things". The outlines of their bodies were reflecting a dazzling metallic luster, and the buzzing sound of turning axles continued to come from their bodies.

Their bodies are also twice as strong as those of the real "giants" and they are rushing in the opposite direction of those real "giants".

——Puppet! That is the "War Puppet" that the alchemists of the Fangbei Academy spent a huge amount of resources to secretly create!
When Anthony recognized those puppets, his frown finally relaxed and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

His gaze then turned to the controllers behind those "puppets".

The warlocks of "Fangbeiyuan" finally joined the battlefield. The war weapons they built to guard against the "Giant Legion" finally came in handy at this moment.

Anthony saw that two of Fangbeiyuan's "generalists", the "Great Alchemist" Irfan and the "Great Rune Master" Eureka, waved in his direction.

The two masters seemed to be conveying some message to him, and Anthony soon understood it. He then led the clergy to turn around again and speed up their pace towards the edge of the battlefield.

……

The battlefield is half empty.

Riding on the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus, Luo Xiu rushed to the edge of the battlefield while looking down at the battle situation.

The apostles of the "Holy Abyss" have already appeared. Except for the "High Priest of Death" Asvis who is under the surveillance of the "Border Court", all the apostles of the third and fourth destinies have been teleported to the battlefield.

And a large number of "followers" gathered by his apostles also followed their leader to the battlefield.

Hundreds of "Holy Abyss" extraordinary people suddenly broke the original stalemate between the two sides on the battlefield. The "blood hyenas" that invaded the main battlefield were quickly wiped out, and the front line actually showed a trend of retreat.

Seeing that the battle situation was developing steadily in the direction he expected, Luo Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was glad that he had made these preparations long ago - before this decisive battle officially started, he had all the apostles of "Holy Abyss" conceal their breath, sneak into this selected battlefield, and quietly teleport back to the "Lost Royal Court" from here.

This arrangement was carried out in batches, with only five apostles sneaking in and teleporting back each time, so as not to alert the Dark Vanguard.

Until all the "apostles" had completed the "teleportation" here, Luo Xiu had completely buried his biggest killer move - if the battle situation was not as smooth as he expected, he would let all his "Holy Abyss" apostles teleport to the battlefield like divine soldiers from heaven, causing a devastating blow to the enemy.

And now, this trump card that was buried in advance happened to be the most effective blow to destroy the enemy's conspiracy! Although this was not Luo Xiu's original purpose, it was more valuable than "severely damaging" the enemy!
Luo Xiu thought about these things with deep eyes. He looked at the scarlet sea of ​​beasts below, and a dark purple flashed in his pupils for a moment.

While thinking, Luo Xiu raised his arm and pointed his finger at the location where a group of blood hyenas were gathered.

He began to chant two prayers of the Abyss in a low voice, and dark purple mist appeared on his palms.

As he finished chanting, Fenrir, the "Abyss Wolf King", and Misty Night, the "Shadow Raven", responded to the summons and appeared in the hyena group he pointed at. "Go, go... This hunting ground is tailor-made for you."

Luo Xiu's eyes were deep and he murmured.

"This is a rare opportunity, a chance to seize the power of your 'Abyss'."

"Have a good grasp of it, Fenrir, and Misty Night."

"Treasure it, it is a far purer food than 'soul'."

……

--boom!

Just on the edge of the battlefield, on a flat ground where a group of "blood hyenas" gathered, a very violent explosion suddenly occurred.

Dozens of bloody hyena carcasses were blown into pieces on the spot, and an unknown mixture of blood and flesh splashed out, leaving a large disgusting "beach" on the ground.

One of the apostles of the Holy Abyss's fourfold destiny, the "Great Alchemist" Frank was controlling the puppet with an expressionless face.

The source of the huge explosion just now was the self-detonation of a "lava puppet".

And right around the site where the "self-explosion" occurred, there are dozens of such puppets.

After the appearance of these "Holy Abyss" apostles, the situation of the battle was reversed in an instant.

Frosa, who had recovered somewhat and rejoined the battlefield, felt this firsthand.

The pressure exerted on the Border Knights by the bloody hyenas that kept surging like a tide was suddenly alleviated a lot as the apostles of "Holy Abyss" joined the battlefield.

The remaining knights of war and royal guards regrouped, and after emergency treatment for their injuries and sufficient rest, they returned to the battle.

Although the scarlet tide of those "hyenas" was still terrifying, with the "Holy Abyss" apostles blocking the front line, the casualty rate of the Border Knights was significantly reduced.

After killing all the surrounding blood hyenas, the "Throne Knight" walked towards the "Grand Inquisitor" Baines who was fighting on the other side, and met him soon after.

At this time, the Grand Inquisitor was also covered in blood, but his injuries were lighter than those of Frosa, and his face had a very complicated expression.

When he saw his right-hand man, "Throne Knight" Frosa, coming, he forced a smile on his face and said:

"Ah, it's you, Frosa. I'm glad to see that you have not been swallowed up by these terrible beasts."

"It's almost the same." Frosa responded in a low voice, "If those strange people hadn't appeared, I would have died at the hands of those monsters."

"You said 'strange people'..." The smile on Baines' face faded, "Indeed. They suddenly appeared. One of them, a Ku Tu quadruple fate assassin, walked up to me and told me my name."

"…'Holy Abyss'. The assassin told me this word. He said he was an apostle serving the 'Holy Abyss' and had no hostility towards us for the time being."

"Did someone come to see you? And tell you about the 'Holy Abyss'?"

Frosa said doubtfully, “Before, when that strange teleportation array appeared, a werewolf with the fourth level of Red Lotus also found me and said something similar to me.”

"'Holy Abyss'..." Baines murmured solemnly, his eyes had become sharp and deep, and he said, "After this decisive battle is over and we return to the border, we will send someone to investigate what this 'Holy Abyss' is..."

"But the premise is that we can return alive."

"..."

--boom!

Just as Baines and Frosa were talking, a huge explosion suddenly came from the battlefield not far from them.

The two Supremes immediately looked towards the source of the explosion, and saw only a thick fog.

However, in that thick fog, extremely surging spiritual energy surged outward from it in waves. It was equivalent to the spiritual reaction of the "Fourfold Destiny"!
As the thick fog gradually dissipated, Baines and Frosa saw in surprise the figure of a giant wolf!

Its body was burning with purple flames, and its pupils were flashing half gold and half scarlet light, looking around with greedy and bloodthirsty eyes.

When he saw the giant wolf, the expression on Baines' face suddenly became tense.

From the giant wolf, he felt the same dark and profound spiritual aura as those "bloody hyenas" on the battlefield!
However, the aura possessed by the giant wolf is much darker and deeper, and the terrifying concentration of its spirituality is a thousand times richer!
Baines has been able to confirm that the giant wolf is just like those "bloody hyenas", a forbidden monster.

At the same time, the giant wolf's gaze turned to him.

In an instant, an inexplicable feeling of fear surged from the bottom of Baines' heart. He could already foresee that the giant wolf would attack him like those "hyenas" and frantically.

But he did not see the scene he had expected.

The next moment, the giant wolf shifted its gaze and turned towards the direction of the enemy "tamer" Klauer.

"——Roar!!!" The giant wolf let out a deafening roar, and the flames all over its body suddenly burst into a strange light the next moment, spewing out a column of flame containing huge destructive power in the direction of Klauer.

——Boom! The flames burned everything in their path. Before a dozen bloody hyenas could dodge, they were engulfed by the raging flames and turned into ashes.

The "tamer" Klauer obviously did not expect this sudden attack. He suddenly jumped off the hyena he was riding and rolled on the ground to avoid the column of fire.

"What is that..." Frosa said to himself in confusion:
"Why... did that giant wolf attack the 'tamer'?"

The same doubts were lingering in Baines' mind.

But he did not linger in doubt for too long, but quickly realized that this was a rare opportunity.

With the appearance of the giant wolf, the monsters standing between them and the "tamer" Klauer were completely eliminated, while the monsters on both sides of the path did not have time to provide support to the middle.

——Except for the giant wolf, there is no other obstacle between them and the "tamer" Klauer!
Baines then raised his red sword, and the blade once again emitted a deep red light. He ordered the knights gathered around him:

"——Our turning point has come, and the 'Supreme Heaven' has blessed us!"

"——Follow me, charge! My knights!"

"——Now is the time to 'behead'!"

After giving three orders, he led the charge towards the "beast tamer" Klauer.

Frosa and other knights followed the direction of their "President's" sword and charged towards the "Beast Tamer" Klauer.

They all put their lives in Baines' hands and made an unprecedented gamble with him.

——They bet that the giant wolf would not intercept them halfway, and that it was in the "same" camp as them for the time being.

Until Baines rushed straight past the giant wolf, which was completely indifferent to them.

Baines knew that he had made the right bet.

The blade of the sword in his hand immediately lit up with a bright red light like blood.
