Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 370 The End of the Battlefield

The bombardment of surging golden light lasted for a long time.

Only after releasing a round of annihilation holy art, the figure of the Red Maple City Bishop "Luo Xiu Carlos" slowly descended from mid-air. His eyes were still fixed on the surging light fog on the opposite side, and on the figure of the dragonborn who would appear after the bright golden light fog dissipated.

"Silver-blooded Dragonborn" Quilton - he no longer made that furious roar, all his spiritual reactions dissipated half a moment ago, and he could not sense any breath.

He is indeed dead.

Completely dead - even in Luo Xiu's panel, the health of "Silver Blood Dragonborn" Quilton had already returned to zero.

But Luo Xiu still maintained the bombardment of the holy magic against the "Silver Blood Dragonborn" Quilton - although Quilton was dead in the panel, as a saint of [Red Lotus], he was very dangerous even as a corpse.

That is a forbidden body that is constantly deforming and constantly sliding towards the end of true "destruction". Only by truly smashing it into pieces can the possibility of accidents be eliminated from the root.

……

Until the golden light mist dissipated.

Luo Xiu retracted his staff and put on the "Triple Holy Guard" again. His eyes were deeply fixed on the light mist, ready to deal with any unusual situation at any time.

But when the golden light mist completely dissipated, there was nothing left there.

The dragon body belonging to the "Silver-Blooded Dragonborn" Quilton had long disappeared, and the powder that had been blasted into his body had long since mixed with the raised dust.

On the gravel ground where he had been standing, a deep red, double-helix conical sword was inserted diagonally, and on the ground on the other side, a few bright silver scales were reflecting a slightly dazzling light. Those were all the remaining traces of the "Silver-Blooded Dragonborn" Quilton.

Luo Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the body of "Silver-Blooded Dragonborn" Quilton had been truly destroyed.

At this point, Luo Xiu personally killed two of the three executioners of the enemy who attacked the Dark Army.

In this invasion war, the Dark Army's disastrous defeat was inevitable.

Luo Xiu turned his gaze towards the "Thunder General" Albert beside him, and a dazed expression appeared on the face of this [Supreme] general.

……

"Mr. Albert."

"..."

"Mr. Albert?"

"……Um?"

After asking Albert twice in a row, Albert finally came to his senses and uttered a somewhat vague response.

He looked at Luo Xiu, then at the double helix sword stuck in the gravel ground not far away, and felt that the scene before him was a little unreal.

It was as if it was not something he had personally experienced or witnessed, but some kind of hideous and terrifying dream.

But Albert quickly pulled himself out of this meaningless fantasy, and his attention returned to the battlefield and to the bishop "Rosius Carlos" who was calling his name.

"Two of the enemy's three executioners have already been sentenced."

Albert heard the bishop beside him, "Rosius Carlos", speaking to him calmly:

"'Storm Lord' Muset and 'Silver Blood Dragonborn' Quilton have both been beheaded. Only 'Despair Crow' Astralis escaped with the power of Nothingness. Unfortunately, I was unable to pursue him."

"..."

"...No, Luo Xiu."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, Albert just shook his head and said:
"You did a great job, Luo Xiu."

"I must admit that you have made a great contribution to our current results, Luo Xiu."

"..."

Before Albert finished saying this, he seemed to hesitate, and there was some emotion in his eyes when he looked at Luo Xiu.

Albert continued, speaking in a low voice:

"You are different from most of the other [Glorious] bishops."

"You are indeed a very good ally. I may have misjudged you before, but now I recognize you."

"..."

"Really? Thank you, Sir Albert."

Luo Xiu still responded to Albert gently and calmly.

He then turned his gaze to one side, looking at the double helix sword stuck in the ground not far away, and a few scales that fell from the body of Silver Blood Dragonborn Quilton, and changed the subject, saying:

"First, let's collect the items dropped by Executioner Quilton and Muset. I'll go to Muset's place. This war should be over."

After saying that, he saw Albert nodded slightly, dragging the huge red sword with his remaining right arm, and walked towards the location of the double helix sword left by Quilton.

Luo Xiu then turned around and walked towards the body of "Storm Lord" Muset, which was still lying like a hill on the gravel ground.

He quickly came to the giant lord's body and jumped lightly onto its chest. He took out the golden scepter in his right hand and prayed in Sanskrit.

The tip of the scepter [Holy Grip] burst into golden light, and the blade of annihilation quickly condensed into shape.

——【Sword of Holy Annihilation】!
Luo Xiu prayed quickly for the holy art of annihilation, and when the power was fully accumulated, he slashed down at the neck of the giant below!

--boom! ! !

The golden fragments of light instantly dissipated with a huge roar, and a deep cut appeared on the giant's neck, with light red blood gushing out of it.

Then, Luo Xiu slashed the giant's corpse with the [Sword of Holy Annihilation] again, and the huge head was immediately broken off from the neck and smashed into the gravel on the side, like a huge rock rolling down the hillside.

Luo Xiu then jumped lightly from the corpse, walked to the falling head, and picked it up with one hand.

Then, Luo Xiu summoned the "Golden Pegasus" -

At this time, Pegasus was mowing the grass on the battlefield with Fenrir, Wuye, and the "two-winged angel" Tatya, and Luo Xiu's new "summoning" prayer teleported Pegasus directly back to Luo Xiu from the far end.

"howl!"

Pegasus let out a whistle, raised its four hooves, and quickly galloped in front of Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu grabbed Muset's head, turned over and straddled Pegasus's back, and its wings spread out on both sides like a burst of water, carrying Luo Xiu straight into the sky.

Galloping to the sky above the battlefield, near the center.

……

Outside Hongfeng City, in the center of the battlefield.

--boom! ! !

"Thomas the Tank Engine", he condensed a golden spear of light in his right hand and threw it at a red dragon that was roaring down from a distance, and the light exploded accurately in its abdomen!

The red dragon suddenly felt the pain, roared, and then flapped its wings to soar into the sky again.

Thomas thus avoided being caught in the air by the red dragon again and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After he was first grabbed by the red dragon and lifted high into the sky, and then dropped by the pine claws at a height of about three or four hundred meters and turned into a Thomas-like person, he experienced two more such death replays.

Including the time when he was killed instantly by "Ring Flame Bishop" Drummond, this was his fifth death in just one day!
Another time, I was not paying attention and was smashed into a Thomas-like state by a giant from the [Giant Squadron] with a club...

The first time he died, it took 30 seconds to revive. After that, it took 5 minutes, half an hour, and an hour... But Thomas only waited for the third death cooldown. The fourth and fifth times he died, he directly opened the [Apocalypse Mall] to buy instant resurrection scrolls. He was not willing to miss more opportunities to kill enemies and get rewards because of the death cooldown!

Because it was an "instant resurrection", the first thing he did after resurrection was to return to the battlefield and immediately recover his extraordinary weapon and his [Hammer of the Saint] of green rare quality.

Just when he had just stopped a red dragon from diving, he was feeling excited.

Suddenly, his panel jumped. He opened the panel in the lower left corner of his field of vision and saw that the status of an "extra mission objective" in the limited-time mission [Dark Sky Haze] had changed!

[Additional Mission Objective (Option 3): Assist in killing the enemy leader, Executioner 'Storm Lord' Muset - Completed]

——Completed?!
Thomas' eyes lit up, and the excitement in his heart became stronger.

No wonder he felt some commotion on the edge of the battlefield before. He thought the enemy had launched some heavyweight weapons. It turned out to be this reason!

Thinking this in his mind, he quickly browsed the reward content on the panel - in this way, he would get 5000 experience points and 5 free attribute points as a reward for completing an extra goal!
Thomas immediately closed the panel. While swinging his hammer to smash away all approaching enemies, he opened the [Chat Channel] to get in touch with nearby players.

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Comrades! My mission panel seems to have moved, showing that the executioner of the Dark Army, "Storm Lord" Muset, has been killed? What's going on!
[If you are a dragon]: Me too, it’s also shown here.

[Big Crocodile Stewed in an Iron Pot]: I am here on the edge of the battlefield - I am the bishop, and our Bishop Luo Xiu is almost suppressing them!

[The Crocodile Stewed in an Iron Pot]: I witnessed the whole process, my family, I was so handsome, my XP was moved, who understands?

【Shut up】:?

[Alicia]:?

【Sweating soybeans】: woc? Is this true or not?
[Iron Pot Stewed Crocodile]: Live broadcast. My family, the bishop has already rushed to the other side, which should be the direction of "Silver Blood Dragonborn" Quilton. I guess we will receive news that "Silver Blood Dragonborn" has been killed soon...

【Thomas the Tank Engine】：Loyalty! Sincerity!
【……】：……

Even on the battlefield, the [Chat Channel] was as lively as ever. Thomas chatted with other players for a while and then closed the panel.

His attention returned to the battlefield. To be honest, he was a little concerned about the last message from "The Crocodile in the Iron Pot". He felt that it would be just as the Crocodile said, and new information would pop up on the panel soon.

Swish!
Just as he was thinking about this, mottled light and shadows appeared on the panel, and new content appeared -

[Additional Mission Objective (Option 1): Assist in killing the enemy leader, Executioner 'Silver Blood Dragonborn' Quilton - Completed]

"..."

“…Fuck, really?”

Thomas opened his mouth slightly, and the shock in his heart dissipated. He opened the [Chat Channel] and quickly sent a message into it.

[Thomas the Tank Engine]: Thank you, war correspondent!
[Sweating Soybeans]: Thank you, war correspondent!
[Human High-Quality Repeater]: Thank you, war correspondent!
[Then let me ask you]: The essence of human beings is...

【……】：……

After Thomas sent a message, many nearby players gave +1, but the "war correspondent" - Tieguodun Dayu was slow to respond.

And at the same time.

Thomas suddenly felt a huge shadow covering his face!

Those were giants from the Giant Regiment. Even though the entire regiment had been almost wiped out, there were still a few elite giant warriors roaming the battlefield.

What appeared in front of Thomas was a giant that was much taller than the other giant warriors!
That is the giant warrior with triple destiny [Ku Tu]!

He had already raised the huge stick and was about to smash it down on Thomas' head!

I am super... ?
--boom!!!!!

Without even a chance to dodge, Thomas was hit hard by the huge stick and hammered into the gravel. His brain and internal organs mixed and splattered all over the ground.

This is a very bloody scene, but as a "player", Thomas does not feel such real pain.

After death and when his consciousness left his body, Thomas' first reaction was to open the [Apocalypse Mall], grit his teeth, and spend money to buy the last "Instant Resurrection Scroll"!
At the origin of Thomas' "death", the mass of flesh and blood that had been mixed and pierced together turned into spirituality like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon, flowed to an open space not far away, and weaved into a new body.

The first moment after his "resurrection", Thomas rushed to the place where the [Hammer of the Saints] fell, picked up the hammer, and ran away from under the nose of the giant warrior [Bitter Tea] with a triple fate!
"--Roar!!!"

Seeing that the "human warrior" who had just been smashed to death by him seemed to have been resurrected strangely, the giant warrior tilted his head, but did not think about anything else. He just roared fiercely at Thomas who was trying to escape.

Thomas heard bursts of "boom" and "boom" sounds coming from behind him. The giant warrior with a triple destiny was striding towards him and would soon catch up with him!

I just bought the resurrection scroll...

Thomas wailed inwardly, looking back from time to time at the approaching giant warrior, and ran even harder.

Suddenly.

He suddenly saw a bright golden meteor flying rapidly across the sky above the battlefield where he was!
Thomas recognized what it was.

——That’s the “Golden Pegasus”!
——It is the mount of the church's "bishop" Ross Carlos, the "Golden Pegasus"!
The bishop was riding a golden Pegasus and galloping across the sky, holding an incredibly large object in his hand.

That looks like a head...

——It’s the head of the giant executioner, the “Storm Lord” Muset!
Thomas' eyes were shining. Although he was still running for his life, his attention had already been attracted by the strange sight in the sky.

He knew very well what the bishop, who was patrolling the sky with the head of "Storm Lord" Muset, wanted to do.

This is undoubtedly the best way to destroy the enemy's morale. Behind Thomas, the giant who was chasing Thomas also raised his head and stopped.

An intense sorrow emerged on his face. His stone-like legs suddenly knelt on the ground. He covered his face with his hands and wailed towards the head of "Storm Lord" Muset in the sky.

After wailing for a while, he stood up again, raised his giant stick high and pointed it at the "Bishop" galloping in the air, cursing something in a language that belonged to the giant, which Thomas could not understand (the panel could not translate it yet).

However, his leader did not respond to him. What responded to him was only the flying stars that shot out from the golden wings of the "Golden Pegasus" -

Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!!
Dozens of flying stars fell from the sky and hit the giant warrior's huge body accurately. A bright golden mist filled with the breath of annihilation surged up and instantly submerged the giant's body.

Thomas also stopped running, turned around and looked at the light mist in front of him that was a mixture of golden and bloody light.

The smell of blood was stirring and spreading from the fog. Thomas suddenly realized something and retracted his hammer. He began to pray, and in his left and right hands, spears of light that emitted golden light began to condense at the same time.

Until the light mist in front of him dissipated, revealing the giant warrior with holes all over his body and bloody flesh, he fell in a pool of blood, but was still breathing weakly, as if he still had a breath left.

boom! ! !
Thomas immediately swung out the spear of light and threw it fiercely in the direction of the giant, and the spear of light exploded in the giant's waist, abdomen and head!

[Kill "Giant Warrior" Naigu (lv.24)...]

Immediately, a new prompt appeared on Thomas's panel.

[Limited Time Mission: Dark Sky Haze (Hell Difficulty)]

Status Update

[Special reward requirements have been met]

[When completing the mission, you will receive an additional 10000 basic experience points, 5 free attribute points, and an additional 'rare' quality specialty*1 that matches your destiny]

【…】

"Fuck...it's really good!"

Looking at the content refreshed on the panel, Thomas' eyes suddenly became bright!
