Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 268 Fierce fighting and turning point!

"Executioner" Koros stood there, staring at the three people opposite him with a snake-like cold gaze.

Luo Xiu, Baines and Frosa were facing off against Koros, and no one could easily break this dangerous balance.

Baines and Frosa on the side also took this opportunity to catch their breath and relieve the fatigue brought to their bodies by the continuous fighting.

Luo Xiu's arrival really made them feel relieved.

Just as Luo Xiu was detecting them through the panel.

"Grand Inquisitor" Baines, his health is only half left, and he is full of negative status.

The situation on Frosa's side was similar to that of Baines. The inside of his heavy knight armor was filled with blood. With every step he took, sticky blood overflowed from the gaps in the armor.

Luo Xiu completed his own treatment first, then he took out a magic crystal from the bracelet and threw it behind Baines.

That is the magic crystal that contains the magic puppet "Oak Healer"!

The doctor's oak body quickly appeared behind Baines. A pale white light condensed in its hands, and then spread out to the surroundings.

Baines, Frosa and Rossu all felt a warm feeling, and the wounds they suffered healed quickly, and their lost vitality slowly returned.

While receiving treatment from the "Oak Healer", Baines also took action.

The scarlet sword in his hand glowed with a deep light, which trembled rapidly and soon left the sword and flew towards the body of "Throne Knight" Frosa.

At the same time, Baines loudly issued an order:

"——[I will govern, I will grant, I will read]."

"——【I will grant you an indestructible body】."

"——【I grant you the Immortal Blade】."

"——【I grant you a fearless soul】."

"..."

Visible to the naked eye, a faint layer of scarlet appeared on the outline of Frosa's body.

His various attribute values ​​began to soar wildly, almost doubling the level before being strengthened. Luo Xiu clearly felt that Frosa's aura had become different from before, like a lion that had just awakened from a dream, and his hunger made his desire to prey unprecedentedly strong.

Luo Xiu knew very well that this was the "authority" held by Baines!
It is an auxiliary Level I authority that can enable another transcendent being with a [Supreme] destiny to obtain ultimate enhancement.

However, this kind of powerful auxiliary authority also comes with a flaw - Baines's state will completely bind him to Frosa in a short period of time. If either Frosa or Baines is killed first, the other will also suffer heavy damage from the backlash!

Luo Xiu witnessed all of this, and at the same time that Baines exerted his "authority", "Executioner" Koros also took action!

Koros raised the snake-shaped cone blade in his hand, and his body began to shake violently under the gaze of everyone.

The next moment, Kolos disappeared from everyone's sight, and not even a trace of his breath could be detected.

Suddenly! Right behind Luo Xiu, he felt a sharp chill.

The sharp snake-shaped cone blade had quickly caught up with him from an unimaginable angle and was about to pierce through his waist and ribs!
But this time, Luo Xiu was prepared, and his figure quickly disappeared from the spot. Koros's snake-shaped cone blade pierced forward fiercely, but only a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

The next moment, Luo Xiu appeared not far away from the battlefield. He raised the staff in his right hand and cast the "Thunder of Judgment" towards his previous position!
——Boom! A bolt of lightning wrapped in golden light fell from the sky and struck the ground heavily, but it did not actually hit Koros's body.

As Luo Xiu watched, the snake-shaped cone blade nearly pierced through his body, and what was holding him was only a shadow of Koros!
The afterimage quickly faded and disappeared, and another afterimage emerged.

This time, Luo Xiu was not the target of Koros, his target was "Grand Inquisitor" Baines!

——Dang! The heavy sound of something piercing through heavy objects, mixed with the sharp sound of something breaking through the air, echoed in the air.

Frosa swung his giant axe in time, and the axe blade blocked the conical blade of the afterimage.

The double-edged axe, which was originally indestructible, had a hole as thick as a wrist pierced through the axe blade by the afterimage of Koros! Even though it had been strengthened by the power of "authority" by Baines, Frosa's arm was still numb from the shock.

He had not yet realized that the "Koros" in front of him was actually an afterimage. A surge of air suddenly erupted from his body and he slashed heavily at "Koros".

The axe blade pierced through Koros' body, but only the feeling of cutting the air was transmitted back.

Just like when he attacked Luo Xiu before, Koros's afterimage disappeared again, and any trace of him disappeared from the air again.

The fear caused by the threat hidden in the dark is hanging over everyone's heart.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Luo Xiu's heart.

Through the "spiritual vision", Luo Xiu vaguely realized that the spirit in the air was becoming more and more restless.

A deep and rich spiritual surge has locked onto him from an unknown direction; something extremely dangerous is about to occur.

Luo Xiu raised his eyebrows, then raised his arms and began his preparatory prayer in advance.

And just as he finished his prayer, a dark bell curtain suddenly descended from mid-air and enveloped him, Baines and Frosa!
Not far outside the bell curtain, the "Executioner" Koros finally revealed his true form. He had a strange smile on his face and looked at the three people who were blocked by the bell curtain in a playful manner.

He still held the snake-shaped cone blade in one hand, and his other hand was suspended in front of the blade with his fingers bent.

"...die."

Koros said softly.

His bent fingers flicked out lightly, and the nails collided with the blade, making a crisp sound.

The dark surface of the clock curtain also rose and fell like the surface of water, emitting a strange wriggling sound.

At this moment, Luo Xiu raised his right hand, and the dragon claw mark on the back of his hand appeared, emitting a deep red light.

——Isor, the Lock of Time!

Just as the mark flashed a scarlet light, ripples suddenly appeared in the air around Luo Xiu and Baines and Frosa behind him.

The invisible lock of time has quietly descended, and within the clock curtain, everyone's movements have been frozen at a certain moment.

And at the moment when the "Time Lock" really took effect, the surface of the clock curtain turned completely black!
On the barrier woven by phantoms, one, two, and countless sharp cone shadows began to emerge.

Countless spikes protruded from the bell curtain and stabbed at the bodies of Luo Xiu, Baines and Frosa at the same time!
However, something happened that Koros did not expect.

The scene he had imagined, where the spikes would pierce through the bodies of the enemies in front of him, did not happen.

Quite the contrary - when those spikes were about to pierce through their bodies, it was as if the spikes hit an extremely indestructible surface, making it difficult to break through even a tiny bit!

——Snap! A crisp breaking sound came from the bell curtain.

Koros looked at the scene in disbelief—the spikes protruding from the surface of the bell curtain actually broke! They couldn't pierce the bodies of the people inside the bell curtain, and they broke so fragilely! This was the first time Koros had encountered such a situation. This bell curtain was the authority of [Ku Tu] that he held. Even if the opponent trapped inside was also a "saint", it shouldn't have broken like this.

As the first spike shattered, dozens and hundreds of spikes also broke because they were unable to penetrate the target in the center of the bell curtain!

Five seconds seemed particularly long to Koros. When all the protruding spikes in this round broke because they could not penetrate the target, a layer of dark shadow covered his face.

If his bell curtain wanted to perform a second round of piercing, it would also take a certain amount of time to wait. The originally dark color on the surface of the bell curtain had now become dim and shallow, which was a sign that the spirituality in it had become thinner.

Koros raised the dagger. He consumed part of his own spiritual energy and poured it into the snake-shaped cone blade in his hand, speeding up the next round of power accumulation of the bell curtain.

Then, just before he raised his other hand again and placed it over the conical blade, he was about to bend his fingers and shoot out.

——Boom! The dazzling flames instantly engulfed him, and dozens of golden flying stars fell from the sky at the same time!
Fenrir, the "Holy Flame Wolf King", roared and blasted several huge burning fireballs at Koros. The fireballs exploded not far from Koros, and the resulting flames bit Koros' body like a fire snake!

In the sea of ​​​​burning fire, the "Burning Feather Raven" Wu Ye was also looking for an opportunity to launch an intensive attack on Koros. And the "Golden Pegasus" galloping in the air had already completed the condensation of flying stars, and took this opportunity to shoot at Koros.

Koros was injured - according to the panel detection that Luo Xiu maintained on him, his health of nearly 50,000 was suddenly reduced by at least one-eighth!

As a "saint", Koros's various attribute values ​​originally had a crushing advantage over Luo Xiu, Baines and Frosa, who were only at the fourth level of destiny.

But even so, as a "Shadow Strategist", a high-level profession in the [Ku Tu] assassin series, he still couldn't withstand too intensive attacks.

That is also the most fatal weakness of all "assassins".

At this time, the effect time of the "Time Lock" released by Luo Xiu has expired. After withstanding the first round of piercing by Koros's bell curtain, it is now their turn to fight back.

With the help of Pegasus, Fenrir and Wuye who were not blocked by the bell curtain, Koros' plan to carry out another round of piercing was interrupted. The bell curtain that lost its spiritual conduction suddenly flashed pale, and the originally indestructible surface seemed to become a little fragile.

"Throne Knight" Frosa, the surging air waves around him burst out again, holding the double-edged axe tightly in both hands, and rushed to the edge of the bell curtain.

Just as a pale light flashed across the wall of the clock curtain, the giant axe in Frosa's hand smashed out with a bang!
--boom! ! !

There was a loud bang, and a violent vibration occurred inside the bell curtain. A clear crack appeared on the surface wall that was hit hard by Frosa's axe, and the crack became larger and more obvious.

Then, just like the dome inlaid with black glass, when the crack expanded beyond its bearing capacity, the semicircular dome shattered.

The sunlight mixed with the firelight shone in, and Luo Xiu's vision finally regained its proper brightness.

But he did not remain in stagnation for too long because of regaining his "freedom". He knew clearly that Pegasus, Fenrir and Wuye alone could not delay Koros for too long.

As a "saint", Koros's strength was overwhelming that of everyone present. Even if Koros was temporarily frustrated, it would not change this, so Luo Xiu never relaxed at all.

In his right hand, he had now grasped the "Poisonous Bite" again. While running towards Koros, he re-cast several auxiliary sacred arts including the "Triple Holy Guard" on himself.

When Koros, who was wrapped in flames, entered his attack range, Luo Xiu immediately raised his staff, which was wrapped with strands of deep scarlet light.

Taking Koros as the origin, the first scarlet dragon lightning struck heavily on his head!

Afterwards, the second and third dragon thunders followed, leaving large scorching scars on Koros' body.

While Luo Xiu was counterattacking Koros, "Grand Inquisitor" Baines and "Throne Knight" Froza also launched fierce counterattacks at Koros from two other directions.

Scarlet mists rose and fell, and Baines brandished his scarlet sword, slashing at Koros with waves of swords, blocking his way to escape.

At this time, Frosa had already rushed into the sea of ​​fire holding a double-edged axe, and chased after Koros and chopped him fiercely!
Under siege from all sides, Koros seemed a little uneasy, and his dodging movements were gradually becoming slower.

But the expression on his face became more and more ferocious. Under the light of the fire, Luo Xiu could clearly see the obvious protruding blue veins on Kolos' neck.

Suddenly.

Just as the firepower besieging Koros became increasingly fierce.

With Koros as the origin, a powerful, surging spiritual surge suddenly swept outward, shaking Frosa, Fenrir and the misty shadow of Wu Ye back more than ten meters away!
The burning fire died down in an instant, and it was visible to the naked eye that the expression on the face of the "executioner" Koros in the center had become extremely hideous and distorted.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the snake-shaped cone blade in his hand was already on the wrist of his other hand.

Then he pulled his hand violently, and blood spurted out from his wrist.

The blood did not fall to the ground. Instead, it circled around the body and then wrapped around the conical blade again, gradually dispersing into a thick blood mist.

They continued to expand and darken, eventually covering the sky above the battlefield.

- Om!

After a sound, Luo Xiu's vision fell into complete darkness.

Even though Koros was right in front of him a second ago, he could no longer sense any trace of him!

He seemed to have completely merged with the darkness. The sense of omnipresent danger filled the air, but he had no idea when the danger would strike.

There is no doubt that Koros also holds a second "authority"!
Luo Xiu frowned and tried to sense the location of Baines and Frosa, but found nothing.

In this critical situation, Luo Xiu was ready to summon the "False Guardian" to save his life.

Even though this might expose himself and lead to a series of foreseeable troubles later, Luo Xiu couldn't care less now.

While he was spreading his senses and being alert to the dangers that might come at any time, he was praying silently, ready to summon the "False Guardian" Amber.

But just when he was so alert.

Suddenly, a patch of light appeared in his vision, which had been completely occupied by darkness.

--boom! ! !

From outside the pitch-black sky, an extremely strong shock suddenly erupted, and the light became extremely dazzling in the next instant.

Luo Xiu saw a huge golden war hammer coming down from the darkness. The golden light that burst out dispelled the darkness and shattered the fog that was like a black sky!
The dark sky gradually dissipated, and the light of the sun returned to Luo Xiu's sight.

At this moment, on this already chaotic battlefield, there was another "intruder".

——That is the "Holy Deacon of Purification" Hubert!
At this time, Hubert was holding a war hammer emitting golden light, standing in the center of the battlefield between Luo Xiu and "Executioner" Koros.

Ignoring the extremely strange and surprised look on Koros's face, Hubert turned around, his bright golden eyes looked at Luo Xiu with approval, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"You did a great job, Ross Carlos."

Hubert said to Luo Xiu calmly in a gentle voice:
"Leave the rest to me. Now, you can rest."
