Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 261 The End of the Giant

"Damn it!"

"Storm Warrior" Afatak uttered a word from his throat, and the expression on his face became ferocious and fierce. He stared at the lifeless mountain giant puppet in front of him.

He had been fighting with the puppet in front of him for too long. He had to be ready to deal with the mountain giant's trampling and punches that could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack, and he also had to pay enough attention to deal with the occasional attacks from the church's clergy. He was a little overwhelmed for a while.

And now the worst thing is that their original primary target, the "High Priest" of the church, did not finally appear until all of them were in a constrained state. The identities of hunter and prey have been completely reversed!

What the "Curser" leader said before was right. If things continue like this, I will indeed miss the opportunity to atone for my sins...

Afatak's expression became even more ferocious. He recalled the death sentence that the "executioner" Koros had given him before, and his hand holding the nail-embedded hammer clenched even tighter.

——Boom! Just as Afatak's thoughts were racing, the mountain giant in front of him raised his fist and struck Afatak with a heavy blow!
Afatak subconsciously raised the club to block, and the surging air waves mixed with the whistling sound of the wind swept around wildly.

Suddenly, the flow of those storms was strangled and they rolled back in the opposite direction!
——Boom! A deafening sound like rolling thunder spread in the storm.

A thick wall of wind gathered in front of the "Storm Warrior" Afatak, separating him from the mountain giant.

——Boom! The mountain giant punched out again, but when its fist made of solid rock hit the wind wall, its huge body suddenly tilted to one side, and was staggered by the overwhelming force.

The mountain giant's punch missed the target, and as it was swept by the storm, it suddenly lost its center of gravity.

——Boom! The moment its huge body fell to the ground, it made a loud noise that was enough to make people's ears ring, and the ground shook violently again.

Afatak then strode forward, wielding his thick hammer with nails embedded in it, and reached the mountain giant's knees.

The "storm" he controlled was sweeping around him, causing the mountain giant to try to stand up several times, but all ended in failure.

In an instant, Afatak had stepped onto the mountain giant's chest.

He had already seen the core of the mountain giant puppet - an ochre-colored magic core, embedded in the top of the giant's head, and it was now quite close to Afatak.

"Hah!" Afatak roared, and his body suddenly burst out with an unprecedented surge of energy. He raised his hammer high and ran towards the location of the magic core.

The dark yellow light on the magic core that exuded a faint spiritual aura was flickering. Mayev, who was controlling the mountain giant puppet, looked anxious. He tried several times to make the mountain giant stand up again, but was suppressed by Afatak.

At this time, Afatak had already rushed to the neck of the mountain giant, and its magic core crystal had entered Afatak's attack range.

The air waves around Afatak suddenly swirled more violently, and the howling of the strong wind lashed the surrounding air like thunder. The wind and sand also rolled up from the ground, covering all the scenery within a dozen meters around.

He concentrated all his strength in his hands, and the thick nail-embedded hammer suddenly burst out with a terrifying noise from within.

Until Afatak lowered his hands and smashed the magic core of the mountain giant puppet with the hammer!

--boom! ! !

A huge explosion sounded from the end point where Afatak's hammer hit him, but Afatak did not feel any shattering of the crystal.

The dust in front of him rolled, and a golden light mixed with the dust appeared in Afatak's vision for a moment.

And from the blinding smoke and dust, and the turbid golden light, Afatak saw a vague figure.

Suddenly, a scarlet, mottled, deep light began to flicker before Afatak's eyes.

The blade of a sickle suddenly broke through the smoke and slashed towards Afatak's neck!
Surprise attack! Afatak was startled and took a big step back, dragging his mallet.

——Swish! The scarlet slash arrived in an instant, and Afatak barely dodged it. The scarlet sickle chased him and slashed at him like a saber!
On the sickle blade, the scarlet flames were still jumping, and the scorching temperature burned Afatak's cheeks, causing him to feel a slight sting.

——Dang! The sickle quickly caught up with Afatak and struck his vital parts again.

Afatak raised the mallet to block, and the heavy sound of impact continued to be heard, and strings of deep red sparks also flew one after another.

Even though he blocked the opponent's continuous attacks, Afatak still had several wounds of varying depths on his body.

The enemy's attack is not a purely physical attack - it has the ability to penetrate the block and directly damage the body of the extraordinary person's "origin".

Although his strength was not great and could not be compared with that of a behemoth like the "Mountain Giant", Afatak, who continued to suffer damage during the blocking process, still felt a considerable degree of surprise and shock in his heart.

He then controlled the wind wall to gather towards the middle from both sides, and at the same time, he smashed out with all his might with a stick, forcing back the enemy in front of him.

Just as Afatak had expected, the enemy, who was not known for his strength, did not take Afatak's counterattack head-on, but instead dodged backwards nimbly.

This gave Afatak a chance to catch his breath. At this point, he had already seen the true appearance of the attacker.

He was a young man with an almost pale face and eyes that sparkled with gold.

That was the church's "High Priest", Carlos Rossio!
He had descended from mid-air, but the sacred beast he rode, the "Golden Pegasus", had returned to the sky, suppressing the two leaders of the "Spellcaster" and the "Alchemist" with firepower.

And the "Chief Priest" chose to truly join the battlefield at this point, and the battle situation was completely formed, completely suppressing Afatak and the "獠首"!
The Golden Pegasus, the Holy Flame Wolf King, the magic puppet "Mountain Giant" and a group of clergymen of the church have put enough pressure on Afatak and the two fang heads in the center of the battlefield who were not blocked in the "Golden Barrier".

Now with the addition of the "Master of the High Priest", Afatak can already foresee the decline.

But he had no intention of retreating - just as the "Curser"'s leader had said before, this was his only chance to atone for his sins.

And the descendants of the "giants" on the battlefield will not retreat easily.

He had just recently suffered a shameful defeat at the hands of the "Great Priest" in front of him, and now he wanted to take back the honor of the winner.

"Luo Xiu!" Afatak roared, his upper body clothes had been torn to pieces by the storm, and his exposed muscles began to bulge and tangle like tree roots.

——Boom! The air wave around Afatak erupted again, this time with a particularly fierce intensity, and his eyes also burst into blood-red light. The power of the "storm" cannot be used at will, and it cannot be maintained for such a long time with such an overload. For the "Storm Warrior" Afatak, every time he maintains the "storm", he needs to spend a lot of mental energy, and he will fall into fatigue that is difficult to relieve after the "storm" ends.

But Afatak no longer cared about all that. He raised the thick hammer in his hand and poured almost all his strength into it, smashing it hard at Luo Xiu's thin body!
Facing Afatak's attack, Luo Xiu remained calm. He put away the Moon-Cutting Scythe, and the staff "Poisonous Bite" in his right hand emitted a pale golden light.

Several balls of holy magic light then floated around him and were fired towards Afatak one by one!
——Boom! Boom! Boom! Three huge meteors with golden tails fell from the sky, one after another, landing in the path of Afatak's charge.

Afatak swung his stick and smashed two of them, but the last golden meteor hit him hard, leaving a horrible burn mark on the right side of his chest.

But Afatak, who had thick skin and flesh, did not suffer any serious injuries. His pace only slowed down for a moment, and then he continued to rush towards Luo Xiu's position.

A powerful feeling of oppression came over him, and the clergy of the church kept casting the holy spell of annihilation at Afatak, but it only left one burning scar after another on his body.

And Afatak seemed oblivious to the attacks from all around him. The storm sweeping and permeating around him became even more violent, crushing everything around him unstoppably!
——Bang! In the blink of an eye, Afatak had already rushed to Luo Xiu, and the hammer in his hand immediately smashed heavily on Luo Xiu's head!

Just where Afatak dropped the hammer, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out.

A sound like breaking glass was heard, and a golden light curtain appeared in front of Afatak. Deeper and finer cracks quickly spread on it, and then shattered in the next moment.

Then, another intact light curtain appeared in Afatak's field of vision again.

——Triple Holy Guard! Afatak hammered down on the barrier formed by the holy arts, and this golden barrier completely offset his fierce attack.

Afatak's face was ferocious, and he recalled that when he was about to smash the crystal core of the "Mountain Giant" puppet, the holy magic used by the "High Priest" on the opposite side to block his attack was also the golden barrier in front of him!

"——Hmph!" Afatak roared, and at the same time he raised his arm holding the hammer, and was about to smash it on Luo Xiu's head again!
The golden barrier of the "Triple Holy Guard" in front of him was only this last one. The "high priest" of the church was hiding behind this barrier. As long as he broke the barrier, he could smash the head of the "high priest" in front of him.

When he thought of this, Afatak suddenly felt that the blood in his body seemed to start flowing faster.

However, his action of hitting again stopped the next moment.

A beam of light flashing with golden light pierced through the soles of his feet and went straight through his back!

Afatak did not feel his body being torn apart by the actual gun blade, but his feet seemed to be locked in solid shackles, unable to take another step.

Then, the figure of the "Great Priest" in front of him suddenly disappeared and completely disappeared from his sight.

What followed was a series of scarlet dragon thunders falling from the sky!
——Boom! Boom! Boom! The scorching dragon lightning struck Afatak's body one after another, and the burning flames spread all over his body, leaving Afatak's already broken body with new burn scars.

Although the warriors of [Ku Tu] could block most of the pain, Afatak still felt the pain that corroded his bones. Under the strikes of dragon lightning, his pupils began to dilate and his mind gradually became dazed.

What he didn't notice was that an eye dripping with golden tears had appeared on top of his head without him noticing.

The mysterious and ancient golden palace appeared in the air above the battlefield at the same time, marking all intruders with the mark of "erosion".

Then, a loud rumbling sound was heard in Afatak's ears.

But that was not the bombardment of the dragon thunder that never stopped, because it was accompanied by the tremors of the earth. It was an even more massive existence that was rapidly approaching his position.

Just when all the scarlet dragon thunders had fallen, Afatak had just escaped from the "Imprisonment Temple of Evil" and the paralyzed state.

——Boom! A gray-brown afterimage appeared in front of Afatak, and then he was smashed deeply into the pit on the ground!

The puppet "Mountain Giant" has resumed its movement, and at a moment when Afatak is completely unable to defend himself, it punches him hard!
——Boom! Boom! Boom! The mountain giant punched Afatak's body again and again. As Luo Xiu monitored his interface, with each heavy punch from the mountain giant, Afatak's health points would be reduced by hundreds or thousands!

His health of nearly 30,000 gradually dropped below four digits under the mountain giant's punch after punch.

"Wait... I'm still..."

Blood was oozing from the corners of Afatak's mouth, and the ferocious look on his face did not ease at all. He muttered as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the mountain giant's heavy punches every time.

And in the interval between each punch from the "Mountain Giant", Afatak had no time to make any block.

He could only watch his injuries getting worse and worse, and could only endure the mountain-shaking bombardment from the giant puppet made of solid stone in front of him again and again.

It was not until an obvious gap appeared in the Mountain Giant's attack one after another - the moment when the spiritual power connected to it by its controller, the Paladin Maiev, was about to be exhausted, that Afatak found an opportunity. He endured the severe pain in his body like tearing his heart and lungs, and tried to pull himself out of the deep pit.

But he failed in the end and he was unable to get back to the ground.

The next moment, in Afatak's field of vision, he saw the figure of the "high priest" again.

In his right hand, he held high a dark green staff, on which was inlaid a dark green magic crystal, which was emitting a deep light.

——Boom! The deep light suddenly burst out, and at the same time, deep bloody marks were cut across Afatak's body.

Blood gushed out from his body full of holes, splashing out like a fountain.

At the last moment, Luo Xiu detonated all the "poisonous" marks on Afatak's body at the same time.

Afatak's health had already fallen below Luo Xiu's killing line.

Afatak's consciousness began to fade away irretrievably as his vitality gradually dried up.

He finally rushed towards the irreversible end called death.
