Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 425 (6k6) The decisive battle breaks out! Hell Mission [Tyrant of Latama]!
"Do you have this [True Name Conquer] buff as well?"

Thomas asked Alicia, Crocodile and others.

Even in front of Thomas, the big crocodile "The Great Knight of Fire" and the "Great Blessing of Qihui" Alicia both nodded.

The crocodile took off his silver-white paladin helmet, opened a panel in his mind, and said:
"Yes, brother. Yes."

"We both have them, but the attributes we got don't seem to be that many. I got 12 points in total, while Xiao Ai got 10 points."

"You're 12 o'clock? That's the same as me."

Thomas nodded and said:
"We have already put it into practice. Forty 'Triple Fate' players chanted the True Name together, and it is indeed possible to withstand the backlash brought by the True Name. Then, next - we can tell the other players this news."

"After that, all the players of Triple Fate - there are more than 10 of them now. Assuming that everyone can equally take away points of the True Ancestor Demon's attributes, that means - the attributes of the Gluttonous Tyrant Brigantis will be reduced by about points?"

"..."

"Indeed." Alicia, Da Yu and Huang Dou all nodded thoughtfully.

"If you think about it this way, that 'True Ancestor Demon' - 'Greedy Tyrant' Brigantis is really quite terrifying... He has a base attribute value of over 5,000, but I think it should be more than that, probably over 10,000, um..."

"This is the value of the 'True Ancestor Demon'! But what kind of boss must he be? It must be more than just 'Natural Disaster'. I have never seen a boss with a higher difficulty level."

"..."

Thomas muttered these as he pondered.

While he was lost in thought, other “Saint Protector” players around the city wall had witnessed their successful defense against the backlash of their true names.

Now, most of the "Saint Guardian" players of the Triple Fate know the true name of "True Ancestor Demon" and "Greedy Tyrant" Brigantis, and they also know that it cannot be recited in its entirety alone.

Just now, when Thomas and the others were conducting the experiment, the other players were observing their changes and reactions.

After Thomas, Crocodile, and Alicia succeeded, the other players with three destinies were able to boldly start chanting the real name of the "Greedy Tyrant" Brigantis in groups.

It is on the continuous city wall.

The "Triple Fate" players, in groups of 20, 30, or 40, began to "pray" in the direction of Latama City.

"【Greedy Tyrant, Brigantis, Bottomless Pit Jaeger, Voracious Mouth】!"

"【Greedy Tyrant, Brigantis, Bottomless Pit Jaeger, Voracious Mouth】!"

"【Greedy Tyrant, Brigantis, Bottomless Pit Jaeger, Voracious Mouth】!"

"..."

"..."

……

hum! ! !
"——Hohohohohoho!!!"

"--roar!!!!!"

“——Ss ...

Then, from the direction of Latama City, the horrifying roars pierced out like sharp cones, shaking everyone's eardrums.

It was a shrill, painful scream and wail, and at the same time, the wall where the Guardian players were located was also shaken violently.

All the players who chanted the real name of "Greedy Tyrant" Brigantis had dark flames burning on their bodies, but with the cooperation of the auxiliary players, the players who had reached the "Triple Destiny" level basically survived the backlash without any danger.

All players who have survived the "True Name Backlash" have also gained the benefit of [True Name Conquer], gaining at least 4 points and at most 14 points of attribute value increase.

As for the specific values ​​of the attributes that can be divided, there should be some rules -

Thomas discovered that the fewer players a team had, the more attribute values ​​they could withstand the backlash of their true names, and vice versa.

Because of this mechanism, many players want to set a lower limit on the number of players -

However, when the number of players was too small, there were indeed cases where players lost their lives after reciting the full real name of "Greedy Tyrant" Brigantis, unable to withstand the backlash of the real name.

Thomas saw that the moment the health of those players who failed to withstand the backlash returned to zero, the flames floating on the outlines of their bodies quickly penetrated and burned inside. Corrosion lines that moved and spread like small snakes soon appeared on the surface of their bodies, and the backlash of the fire quickly turned them into ashes.

When they were resurrected, their attribute values ​​had been greatly reduced - about 20% less than before.

There was an additional negative status item "True Name Backlash" on their panels, which detailed "due to failure to successfully resist the backlash of their true name, part of their power was taken away by the 'Gluttonous Tyrant' Brigantis."

Thomas observed these and had almost understood the specific mechanism of the True Ancestor Demon's so-called "true true name" backlash.

And while thinking about these.

In the city of Latama, which Thomas, Crocodile and others were overlooking from a high place - the roar from the True Ancestor Demon was becoming more violent and shrill. Thomas could clearly feel that the air around him seemed to become heavy and hot.

And at a certain moment.

——Boom! ! !

A huge rumble like thunder came from the ground of Latama City.

A huge, terrifying deep purple light surged into the sky from the center of Latama City!

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and even dozens of surging purple light beams rushed out from the city of Latama!
They penetrated the sky, completely covering the deep night sky which was tinged with light blue and dark gray, and turned it into a deep purple that was full of depth and ominousness!
Thomas clearly felt his heart beating heavily three times, "bang, bang, bang".

An intense feeling of palpitations surged uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart. Cold sweat began to seep out of the back of his neck and forehead, and his palms even began to tremble slightly.

This was the reaction from this body, and in his panel——【Deep Fear】! This negative state had also appeared.

He could probably guess that this was because the "True Ancestor Demon" was in a negative state because of the "Gluttonous Tyrant" Brigantis.

He must have been really angry after so many people recited his full true name at the same time and took away his power!

Before the expeditionary force was about to officially launch the decisive siege on the city of Latama, He had already shown signs of wanting to counterattack!
"..."

Just as Thomas was thinking this.

In the city of Latama that he was overlooking, countless black spots were madly pouring out of the city of Latama along with dozens of deep purple lights that had already broken through the city walls and pierced into the sky!

——Those are all “Abyss Beasts”!
All kinds of twisted, grotesque, bloody "deep beasts" seemed to be driven by something terrifying or attracted by some fatal temptation, and they rolled forward ferociously like a tsunami!
In addition to the densely packed abyss beasts,
There are also the Dark Army, and the hundreds of Black Fangs and Fang Heads who lead the Dark Army of Latama City.

No, those are not the real Black Fangs and Fangs, they are all "demons"!
From 'inferior demons' to 'lower-level demons', and then to 'middle-level demons'!
Thomas maintained panel detection of the tide of monsters erupting in Latama City. He had detected that those "Black Fangs" and "Fang Heads" were no longer NPC panels, but monster panels!

And behind the "race" in the monster panel - it is clearly revealed that they are "demons".

They used the bodies of the "Black Fangs" and "Fang Heads" as containers, perhaps having devoured their souls and thus occupied their bodies.

Thomas' eyes widened. This was the first time he had seen such a scene since he started playing "God's Destiny" and came to Red Maple City in Fanor Continent a month ago.

He looked at the dense and terrifying "black spots" pouring out of the city of Latama, which had gradually gathered into a dark and murderous tide.

The monsters pouring out of the city of Latama, some of them were rushing towards the Acropolis, while the others were rushing towards the black sand plain next to it.

Thomas knew when he saw this scene.

Regardless of the date originally scheduled for the decisive battle between General Albert, General Lansas and Bishop Rosius,
From this moment on, the expeditionary force's "decisive battle" against the city of Latama has truly broken out.

……

Around four o'clock in the morning on March 768, 3 in the Tianqi calendar.

Before dawn, the two military formations of the Red Maple City Expeditionary Force and the Snowd Expeditionary Force had already deployed in front of the Acropolis and on the plains outside the city of Latama.

"Bishop" Carlos Ross, "General Thunder" Albert Perez, and "General Winter" Lansas Thorn, the three leaders of the expeditionary force rode on their majestic war horses and looked at the solid walls of the city of Latama from afar in front of the army.

Compared to the originally scheduled date of the decisive battle after nightfall on the 25th, Albert, Luo Xiu and Lansas finally decided to advance the time of the decisive battle to the early morning.

Because there is no longer any blind spot in the city of Latama - the people stationed there are no longer "Executioners", and the threat posed by Him can no longer be measured from the true strategic perspective of the Dark Army.

Moreover, according to the latest information brought by "Bishop" Luo Xiu, that is the god obsessed with "gluttony", and He is in the weakest state now.

Based on these advantageous conditions, Albert intentionally brought forward the timing of the decisive battle - the three "sainted" leaders of the expeditionary force led their most elite extraordinary people, left the Acropolis, and approached the city of Latama.

They will be the first swords to penetrate the city of Latama, and together with the heavy firepower corps already deployed in the Acropolis, they will penetrate the solid wall of Latama facing the Acropolis!

It was at this time.

Albert, Luo Xiu and Lansas were leading the elite legions behind them, moving towards the city of Latama in the moonlight and night.

The place where they are now is a narrow plain outside the city of Latama - the Black Sand Plain.

This is an open area between the Acropolis and the city of Latama, and the legion is leaning against the Acropolis built on the high ground. The long-range firepower that has been deployed in the Acropolis can completely cover this area, making it the most suitable battlefield for a decisive battle.

"..."

"I can feel it... Luo Xiu. The 'Greedy Tyrant' Brigantis you told us about is now emitting a very tyrannical aura."

On a black warhorse covered in armor, General Thunder Albert tightened the reins and said:
"Even though we are so far away, I can still hear it. It seems that it is wailing... because we have taken something away from its 'true name'."

It was the day before, when "Bishop" Luo Xiu finished instructing his players about the precautions regarding the "Gluttonous Tyrant" Brigantes, he went directly to General Albert's tent.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu also told Albert and Lansas the full real name of the "Gluttonous Tyrant" Brigantis.

The three "saints" then covered each other and recited the full real name of "Greedy Tyrant" Brigantis. They all heard the screams coming from the direction of Latama City and felt their own power increase significantly. But Luo Xiu still did not tell them about the "True Ancestor Demon" - he just let Albert and Lansas preconceived that "Greedy Tyrant" Brigantis was a high-ranking god.

The "True Ancestor Demon" was first mentioned by the players, so this does not violate the holy oath made at that time.

"Indeed... I have also smelled the stench emanating from the 'Gluttonous Tyrant' Brigantes."

Right next to the black armored warhorse ridden by "Thunder General" Albert, on the back of another white armored warhorse, "Winter General" Lansas was squinting his eyes.

He was feeling something, and from time to time a look of disgust appeared on his face, and he said:

"It's time to move on, Albert, and Your Excellency. We shouldn't stay here too long."

"You are right, Lord Lansas."

"Bishop," Luo Xiu replied with a gentle smile on his face.

But he was actually a little nervous in his heart - this was the first time he was truly facing an enemy with strength above the average of the "Sixth Fate".

Even though he had made sufficient preparations for this, he still felt that something was missing... However, Luo Xiu believed that even if he really fell into a very dangerous situation, he should still be able to protect himself.

He had already deduced various possible crises in his mind and had thought of ways to deal with them in advance.

It was the first time that he treated a battle so seriously.

And Luo Xiu has already hidden his biggest trump card——

That was a trump card that even Albert and Lansas were still unaware of - the "Golden Sword Saint" of the "Fesera Family" of the Golden Country, Klein Fesera. He and the "Golden Army" he brought with him had secretly met with the "Bishop" Luo Xiu, and were now hiding around the city of Latama, ready to act at any time.

This is equivalent to having a bodyguard with a "true six-fold destiny" who can escort him at any time.

In addition to these, Luo Xiu was also equipped with a lot of high-level recovery items, and before the final battle, he had stacked up all the auxiliary sacred arts that could be stacked, filled himself with enhancement buffs, and maxed out all the accumulated free attribute points with the "divinity" attribute.

At this point, his "divinity" attribute officially broke through the 2000-point mark - Luo Xiu is now in his prime.

All his "authority" and "skills" have expired and he can now engage in battle at any time.

He really felt that he was incredibly strong now!
But there was still a subtle sense of uneasiness and...excitement in his heart.

Luo Xiu felt the thoughts emerging in his heart and calmed them down at the same time, allowing his mind to gradually return to his usual calm state when facing the enemy.

While he was still talking smoothly with Albert and Lansas, he silently opened the panel in his mind and made a final check on his own condition.

After confirming once more that there was no problem, he showed a serious expression on his face and said to Albert and Lansas:

"Okay, my 'Guardians' should be ready."

"…Um."

Albert nodded. He had already drawn out the huge crimson sword from the wide scabbard behind him, pointed it in the direction of Latama City, and said:

"When the 'gluttonous tyrant' Brigantis lets out his next wail, or when his intense anger causes any abnormal changes in Latama City - that will be the time for us to launch a general attack on Latama City."

"..."

And the moment Albert finished saying this—

“Roar! Roar! Roar!!”

“Aa ...

A terrifying scream came from the city of Latama. It was the scream of the "Gluttonous Tyrant" - from Brigantes!
Then, terrifying purple lights surged from the city of Latama and pierced up into the sky. Dense black spots also howled and rushed out from the huge city gate. The monsters entrenched in the city had come out in full force!

"--expedition!"

Albert raised his sword and shouted an impassioned command:

"Now is the time to charge for the Supreme!"

……

Acropolis, on top of the city wall.

When Thomas, Alicia and others saw dozens of deep purple lights rushing out from the city of Latama.

They were equipped with "Rune Flying Wings" and were ready to glide from the walls of the Acropolis into the city of Latama at any time.

This is the final battle they have longed for!
It is today - less than two minutes after "04:00", the resurrection cooldown time of all players will be refreshed. This is the time for the decisive battle of the Chosen One!

Although the "death penalty" has just been implemented in version 1.1, the first few deaths only deduct experience points. It has no practical warning effect on players who are basically at level 30 and have little experience points in stock. Now they just look towards the city of Latama with green eyes, looking at the group of monsters that are constantly howling.

Those are all walking experience points!
They are all walking "expertise"!
Thomas, Crocodile and others had already climbed to the top of the highest wall of the Acropolis.

In the corner of their vision, they saw the warlocks of the "Fangbei Courtyard" who stayed behind in the Acropolis, and they also climbed up the city wall dragging rune cannons at the first moment when the changes occurred in the city of Latama.

The warlocks quickly placed the rune cannons on the battlements and secured them securely.

Then, the warlocks stuffed the gun with rune ammunition and placed their palms on the rune knots on the cold barrel, infusing it with the spirituality of [Wisdom]—

boom! ! !
Boom boom boom boom! ! !
Dense dark blue lines instantly flowed across the surface of the rune barrel, and the rune ammunition loaded inside was instantly transformed into a high-energy surge of destructive light, interweaving into a curtain in the air between the Acropolis and the city of Latama, heading straight for the monsters that were howling and rushing towards the Acropolis!
The moment the rune light surged onto those "Abyss Beasts", it instantly blasted their bloody bodies into pieces!

In the first round of bombardment alone, dozens of Abyss Beasts were blasted into blood foam. The warlocks of Fangbei Academy quickly loaded the rune cannon with the next round of ammunition, and after the barrel cooled down, they poured enough spirituality into it again.

——Boom! Boom boom boom boom!

The sound of artillery fire was incessant, interweaving with the sound of monsters running and their howling to form a harsh sea of ​​sound.

The smell of blood was quickly aroused, and in an instant, hundreds of Abyss Beasts, as well as the bodies of "Black Fang" and "Fang Head" were blown to pieces, but more monsters howled, stepped over the corpses of their "compatriots" with bloodshot eyes, and then rushed towards the Acropolis!
"Awesome!"

Thomas shouted excitedly:

"This is the fun of fighting! This is the decisive battle!"

As he shouted this, his hands had already climbed onto the battlements of the Acropolis wall. The rune wings behind him had fully spread out to both sides, and he was about to glide towards the city of Latama.

But before that, his panel suddenly jumped, showing that a new task had been triggered -

[Trigger limited-time mission: Tyrant of Latama (Hell difficulty)]

【…】

"Fuck me!!"

When Thomas saw a new task appear on the panel again, his eyes lit up with an unprecedented excitement and brightness!

This is a "Hell" difficulty mission!

Thomas thought to himself that he remembered that the last time he accepted a "hell difficulty" mission was during the Red Maple City Defense War, that limited-time mission "Dark Sky Haze".

And this time, the reward for [Tyrant of Latama] seems to be even better than that for [Dark Sky Haze]!
Oh my god... finally killing that "gluttonous tyrant" Brigantis can actually give 500,000 experience points!
There are also up to fifty free attribute points and a limited "legendary" quality specialty!
I don’t know how to spend this! .jpg
Thomas felt his heart surge and his blood boil more and more!

He can't wait to join the battle!
I can't help it!

He immediately closed the panel, then opened his arms, fully unfolded his equipped rune wings, and glided quickly towards the city of Latama.

Just like a giant bird gliding across the sky, Thomas shouted:
"——Quack! I want to see a river of blood!"

……
