Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 404: Fierce Battle Underground (6k2, please give me a monthly ticket~)

"..."

Monur, the "Lord of the Evil Beasts", his pupils dilated rapidly due to intense shock.

He looked across at the "Bishop" Ross Carlos who suddenly appeared in front of him, and a feeling of doubt and confusion kept emerging in his heart.

The "bishop" of the church...why is he here?
No, no...

Why did he know I was here?
Many complex and difficult problems emerged in Monur's mind one after another.

But obviously, now is not the time to think about this -

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Monur cursed as he looked at the "bishop" Luo Xiu opposite him. Bloodshot eyes were visible in his pupils, and he made a roaring expression like a wild beast.

"--Roar!!!"

"..."

"You could be a little friendlier, Monur-sama."

Opposite Monuel, the "Bishop" Ross Carlos still maintained a smiling expression. He had taken out the dark red magic sword and scepter and began to pray the "holy art".

In Luo Xiu's eyes.

While he was praying, he saw that the "Lord of the Evil Beasts" Monur had raised his hands above his head and summoned two "Mad +" monsters in front of him.

One is a silver-white frost wolf, whose mane seems to be frozen, constantly releasing wisps of cold frost mist;
At this moment, it opened its bloody mouth, and its deep, bloodthirsty red eyes were fixed directly on Luo Xiu's body.

"--Roar!!"

That was the Frostmane Wolf King, roaring and ready to attack.

On the other side of the Frostwolf, in the air in front of Monur, a colorless creature was emitting a heart-pounding breath.

Luo Xiu felt a piercing, hostile gaze, but the source of that gaze was nothing. It was the second "Mad +" monster summoned by Monnur.

"Hiss..."

There was a rustling sound in the air. It was the [Phantom Lizard], which had the ability to hide itself.

As the "Lord of Evil Beasts", Monul Madrid has the ability to command powerful monsters.

These two "Mad Evil +" monsters were contracted beasts that he had prepared long ago and could be summoned at any time when faced with a crisis.

At this time, the Frost Wolf and the Phantom Lizard were guarding in front of Monur, casting greedy, prey-like glances in the direction of "Bishop" Luo Xiu.

After completing the summoning of the two "magic beasts", Monur, the "Lord of Evil Beasts", did not stop his actions.

He then began to beat his chest violently, while at the same time making rhythmic and wild roars like a wild beast.

"Ho ho ho!!"

"Hum hum!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Along with the roar, dark yellow, rough and dry hair began to grow on Monur's shiny bald head.

Grooves began to form on his face, and boar-like fangs protruded from both sides of his lips, constantly growing and curving outward.

He had begun to transform into a beast - and this progressed very quickly. Before Luo Xiu finished praying several sacred arts, he had already completed the process of transforming into a beast!

And the moment after the "beast transformation" was completed.

Monur immediately grabbed the ground with both hands and charged like a real "beast".

And in the next moment.

--boom! ! !

Monur's figure disappeared on the spot.
He had already rushed towards the position of "Bishop" Rossu Carlos and crashed into his body in an instant!
--boom! ! !

The huge impact force caused the entire underground to shake violently. The shattered rock stirred up gravel and dust, covering the surrounding area with a thick layer of haze.

But in the swirling gray haze, several beams of brilliant golden light burst out at the same time.

The light exuded a very hot and sacred aura, which soon completely washed away the haze and dissipated it. The figure of the "bishop" once again appeared in the open field of vision.

On the outline of Luo Xiu's body,
The golden light enveloped him, and a layer of faint golden glow covered his body. The "Lord of the Evil Beasts" Monur, who attacked him, was blocked by another huge figure shrouded in gray mist holding a round shield.

"amber!"

The "god" who obeyed the call uttered a low tremor from the amber stone hidden in the gray mist.
Then, he raised his other arm, and the huge hammer emitting golden light in his hand suddenly smashed down on Monur's head!
--boom! ! !

Gray fog rolled and blood splattered.

Monur's sturdy body rolled backwards and hit the rock wall not far away heavily.

The rock was cracked, and the frost wolves and magic lizards summoned by Monul earlier flew over from both sides at the same time, blocking the path of the "False Guardian" in pursuit of Monul, and launched an attack on the god that suddenly appeared!
The Frost Wolf was even faster. Ice spikes quickly condensed around it, and then dozens of ice spikes quickly shot towards the gray god opposite!

"amber!"

A low tremor came from the amber stone, and the illusory shield in his hand blocked the path of the ice spikes. The ice spikes then hit the shield, making crisp breaking sounds of "crackling, crackling".

The next moment, Amber's figure disappeared from the spot, and appeared in front of the Frostwolf in the blink of an eye -

The Hammer of Illusion fell again without mercy, hitting the Frostwolf's back!

--boom! ! !

A mist of light surged up, and the Frost Wolf's spine was broken and smashed into pieces. It had become a bloody mess under this horrific blow, and it seemed to howl once, and then there was no more movement.

After killing the first "Mad +" monster, the demon lizard hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared.

It was a giant lizard covered with colorful scales, now clinging to the amber's stone body, with thick, dark green liquid oozing from its skin beneath the scales.

The dark green liquid has spread to the "shoulder" of the amber, and the area covered by it, the orange-yellow amber has become faintly dark in color, as if there are signs of inward erosion.

"…amber?"

The spirit lingering in the gray fog made a somewhat puzzled sound.

For a god with the status of "ancient spirit", the poisonous fog released by the magic lizard may be useful, but definitely not much.

Under the effect of the inherent skill of "Virtual Dissociation", the "poison" of the demon lizard was quickly revealed, and the "poison" damage that Amber continued to suffer was already negligible.

And behind Him——"Bishop" Luo Xiu had completed the prayer for the subsequent summons.

A giant wolf covered in golden flames appeared behind Amber.

The "Holy Flame Wolf King" Fenrir has rushed into the air and shot out burning holy flames towards the location of the "Phantom Demon Lizard"!

--boom! ! !

With the location of the giant lizard as the origin, rings of burning golden flames suddenly exploded, burning everything in the range.

“—hissssssss!!”

The giant lizard seemed to feel severe pain, and it kept making trembling hisses. At the same time, it quickly flew towards the rock wall not far away, trying to escape from the area covered by the fire ring.

But it was all in vain - the "Guardian of Illusion" Amber raised the Hammer of Illusion again and smashed it down heavily once again!
--boom! ! !

The Phantom Lizard was hammered into the ground, its scales were smashed to pieces and pierced into its flesh, while its six eyes bulged out completely at the same time and rolled to the side like glass balls.

……

The second "Mad Evil +" monster was also smashed into meat paste in an instant.

On a cracked rock wall not far away, Monur, the "Lord of Evil Beasts", looked at the scene that had just happened in a daze.

The two "Mad +" level monsters he had just summoned to assist in the battle were turned into two pools of meat paste after just two encounters. This was far beyond Monur's expectations.

And the "bishop" - he hasn't even taken action himself!
This made Monur quite shocked and stunned.

But more importantly - the intense emotion that surged in Monur's heart was an increasingly intense anger.

As a destined saint of [Red Lotus] who specialized in "summoning", Monnur was severely suppressed in his own field of expertise by a saint who was not proficient in summoning. Monnur had never experienced such a thing before!

And, what's even more strange is that -

The "bishop" on the opposite side... Monur knew that, generally speaking, a [Glorious] bishop could only contract with one "holy beast" and one "angel" at most!
Monur certainly knew that the "bishop" of the Red Maple City Church had many special features - for example, he had contracted three "holy beasts" and an "angel".

The giant wolf that the bishop just summoned should be one of the holy beasts mentioned in the intelligence, the "Holy Flame Wolf King". He still has two more "holy beasts" that have not been summoned.

As for the "angel" he contracted...

It is obvious that the "god" with an amber body shrouded in gray fog is definitely not an angel of light!

"What the hell is that..."

Monur subconsciously guessed,

But he soon couldn't think any further.

The battle continued. Monur was not trapped by the temporary defeat for too long. He had dug himself out of the crack of the rock wall.
But his vision was soon occupied by a rich golden light——

The "bishop" opposite him, the "Roshu Carlos", had completed several prayers of the holy art of annihilation in the interval between the killing of two "Mad +" monsters!

Several rings of sacred domains quickly opened up with the center between Monur and Luo Xiu as the origin. A terrifying shock came from the air, and a crack that released golden light had already appeared above Monur's head.

Dozens of golden lights surged and fell unstoppably towards where Monur was, and hit him heavily after a moment, exploding with pieces of surging golden mist!

——Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!
Huge roars continued to be heard, but the Bishop Luo Xiu's strong attack had not stopped. The Brilliant Swords that burst out with brilliant golden light had formed a formation, and they circled and slashed down towards the light fog, towards the position where Monnur was! ——Boom boom boom! !
Dozens of shining holy swords slashed Monur's body, and the blood light mixed with fishy smell suddenly dispersed, dyeing the still surging and diffuse golden light mist with patches of dazzling scarlet.

The attack did not stop. A moment after a dozen "Holy Swords of Annihilation" were slashed, the Holy Cross, shining with dazzling light, descended.

The cross-shaped slashing wave, shining with brilliant golden light, flew slowly and unstoppably, and finally passed through the golden mist and heavily bombarded the body of Monur, the Lord of the Evil Beasts.

--boom!!!!!

The air around him vibrated more violently than ever before, and the smell of blood emanating from Monnur became stronger.

……

There is no doubt that Monur also took this attack hard.

But as the Holy Cross slowly flew over, Monul seemed to have summoned something——

That thing blocked his way and took most of the damage from the "Holy Cross of Glorious Annihilation" for him.

As Luo Xiu peered through the golden mist, he saw a semicircular "monster" that seemed to appear in front of Monur, like a shield.

That was also a "Mad +" level monster.

In the detection panel maintained by Luo Xiu, the name is [Ghost Pattern Snapping Turtle]——

It seemed to be a magical beast that specialized in defense, but before Luo Xiu could see its complete body, its shell began to shatter piece by piece, and was finally penetrated by the terrifying annihilation light!

The damage that followed finally landed firmly on Monur, burning his left upper body red and leaving horrific scars like cracks.

This round of attack will not end until the cross slash of the "Holy Cross of Glorious Annihilation" completely dissipates.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Monur coughed violently several times, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.

He had never experienced such a violent "baptism" and felt like he had lost half his life.

But he was still standing strong - thanks to the strong body and terrifying recovery ability bestowed by the fate of [Red Lotus], the horrific scars on his body had begun to slowly heal on their own.

As for the "bishop" on the opposite side, he seemed to have no new moves to perform "holy magic".

He just slowly raised the scepter and magic sword in his hands, but Monur did not feel the flow of the spiritual power of [Glory].

The end…?
Monur thought to himself—

The next moment, his vision was once again occupied by the scarlet light.

--boom!!!!!

The "bishop" opposite, that Ross Carlos, was wielding the "magic sword" in his hand and slashing it fiercely in the direction of Monur!

——"Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash"!
Before being swallowed by the surging scarlet slashing wave, Monur seemed to see a huge afterimage that looked like an ancient dragon, and he heard waves of soul-shaking dragon roars in his ears, which made him feel an uncontrollable surge of intense fear in his heart, so he could not make any move to escape.

The scarlet light surged in the next moment.

Monur's skin was burned and his flesh was separated, but he did not feel any pain - in the terrifying scarlet light, it was as if his body no longer belonged to him.

……

Until the terrifying scarlet light gradually dissipated.

After using the "Dragon Flame Demon Sword" to slash the "Ancient Dragon's Bite" at the "Lord of Evil Beasts" Monur with the highest level of "Ancient Dragon's Bite", Luo Xiu simultaneously raised the "Dragon Breath Scepter" high, his eyes fixed on the figure that was about to appear in the gradually dissipating red mist.

As the red mist faded, the outline of the body of Monur, the "Lord of the Evil Beasts", gradually emerged in Luo Xiu's field of vision.

Almost half of his skin had been burned, and the other half of his body - although it was clearly flesh, was as red as steel being forged in a furnace, and emitting a "hiss, hiss" breath of heat.

According to the panel detection that Luo Xiu kept on Monnur, his health had been reduced to less than half.

The Red Lotus Saint is indeed a legendary king of endurance... Luo Xiu thought to himself that it seemed that none of the Red Lotus Saints he met who were at the same level were truly fragile.

And when the "Lord of Evil Beasts" Monur and his beast-like body finally broke away from the scarlet surging light mist.

The "Dragon Breath Scepter" held in Luo Xiu's right hand - the round bead grasped by the dragon claw was emitting waves of terrifying rhythms, pointing towards Monur's bloody body!

"--Roar!!!"

A surge of deep red, blazing light suddenly blasted out in the direction of Monur!
In just a moment, the ground between Luo Xiu and Monnur and the affected stone walls turned scarlet like purgatory.

The terrifying dragon breath seemed to ignite the air, and the raging flames were burning and burning everything!
And in that horrifying scarlet, the body of Monur, the "Lord of the Evil Beasts," was once again completely engulfed. Thousands of horrific wounds appeared on his body again. Almost all of his skin had been burned, exposing the golden or charred flesh inside.

"Breath of the Ancient Dragon" destroyed nearly 20% of Monur's maximum health.

Only 30% of his health was left - after suffering such a terrifying combo, he still had nearly 30% of his health left!
While the "Ancient Dragon's Fierce Breath" was fiercely burning his skin and flesh, Monur did not make any other moves to resist.

Under Luo Xiu's gaze - a moment after blasting the dragon's breath at him, a fanatical, hideous, chilling and weird smile even appeared on his face.

"Pain...suffering..."

"Lord of the Evil Beasts" Monur hummed softly, his eyes were now wide open, and the bloodshot on his eyeballs were becoming more and more dense, as if red silk worms were wriggling.

And his eyes were fixed on the three corpses of the "Mad Evil+" monsters on the ground——

Suddenly, the three shapeless corpses of monsters all emitted a dark red light.

Three large hands - illusory beast claws covered with black, red and grey scales - suddenly stretched out from the cracks in the ground and slammed heavily on the corpses of the three "Mad +" monsters!
Then, the sound of chewing was heard in the air——

The three illusory claws seemed to be eating something, and the bloody corpses of the three "Mad Evil +" monsters were visibly reduced in size and were quickly devoured.

And what were "swallowed" were not only the corpses of the three "Mad +" monsters.

The three illusory claws regarded the "rabbit" that Monnur had smashed into pieces and the blood and flesh of Monnur that had been blasted to pieces as food.

After being covered with a layer of dark red light film, it floated towards the illusory claw like mist.

Then, the three illusory claws made a "gurgling, gurgling" sound as if satisfied.

Then, the three-colored scales opened up completely, and the three claws quickly expanded, from half-meter-long limbs to giant tumors of one meter, three meters, and even six or seven meters in size!
Luo Xiu watched the changing scene before him——

What he knew was that it was one of the trump cards held by Monur, the "Lord of the Evil Beasts".

As the "Lord of Evil Beasts" with the fifth level of destiny of [Red Lotus], it is impossible that he can only command three "Mad Evil +" monsters. However, to summon monsters with higher threat levels, some price must be paid.

And those three "Mad +" monsters were the price - or the "sacrifice". Their death was not meaningless, and it was even a necessary step for Monur.

Under Luo Xiu's gaze, the three huge tumors were still expanding, and at this time they were squeezing and merging together.

This "fusion" process is difficult to interrupt - the three giant tumors, including the three illusory claws from before, do have "health", but it is an astronomical amount of health.
It also has very high "damage reduction" and "regeneration" properties. To prevent a new summoning process, the amount of damage required is more than double that required to kill Monul.

Therefore, Luo Xiu had no intention of interrupting from the beginning.
He was just thinking about other things while starting a new round of prayers.

And when Luo Xiu finished praying——

"Roar!!!"

He suddenly heard a deafening roar, and the sounds seemed to overlap, penetrating the giant tumor and making a loud sound like the vibration of metal, making people's eardrums feel as if they were pierced by needles!

The three giant tumors have completely fused, and the monsters bred in them have begun to emit terrifying roars.

——Wow!

Soon, the giant tumor turned into pus and flowed down into the crack in the ground.

Among them, a newly born "monster" covered in blood has appeared in front of Luo Xiu.

It was a huge monster that could stretch over ten meters. Its majestic body was covered with dark dragon scales that emitted a dark metallic luster.
Two griffin heads proudly grew on both sides of its neck, with four eyes like gemstones flashing fiercely, and large pieces of hair like lion manes fluttering in the wind, revealing a king's majesty;
It was covered in long, silver-blade-like feathers, with blood dripping from the tips. Smelly saliva flowed from the edge of its sharp beak, which was slightly opened to reveal a mouthful of sharp fangs, as if it was ready to split the throat of anyone who approached at any time.

The moment it hatched and emerged from the giant tumor, a terrifying aura madly dissipated outwards without reservation!

——Boom, boom!

It has taken its first step, and the earth is shaking with a roar as loud as thunder.

Behind it, three huge tails swung like whips, covered with barbs and sharp scales, with scarlet light dotted at the tips like flames. Every swing brought about a whistling and surging wind, stirring up dust.

As Luo Xiu detected it through the panel.

A newly born monster——it is a monster of the "Jie Mie-" level!

——【Terrible beast·Two-headed dragon eagle】!
Luo Xiu frowned slightly.

The strength of the monster summoned by Monnur was somewhat beyond Luo Xiu's expectations.

Until now, Monur, the "Lord of Evil Beasts", has still not summoned the "Abyss Beasts" - he probably has not yet fully mastered the method of taming this unprecedented race of monsters.

In Luo Xiu's judgment, his original intuition was -

The "Lord of Evil Beasts" Monur sacrificed three "Madness+" monsters and summoned "Natural Disaster" and the highest "Natural Disaster+" level monsters, which was not difficult to solve.

But now he feels that he still underestimated the threat of the "Lord of Evil Beasts", a Red Lotus Saint.

But it doesn't matter——

The current crisis situation is still within control.

Luo Xiu thought to himself.

He had raised his arm slightly, and a biting mark appeared on the back of his hand, emitting a dim light.
