Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 449 The beginning of a bloody battle (6k4, asking for monthly tickets~)

Although it felt familiar, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice did not delve into this memory for the time being.

He actually knew the "dilemma" that Fafnir City was currently facing - the expeditionary force from the Empire's Songyuan Territory had arrived at the city the day before. This was the real scene he saw through his external "eyes".

If possible, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice did not want to have any fierce battle with the two notorious expeditionary forces at this time.

He originally wanted to quickly complete the "blood sacrifice" ceremony so that he could move to the bottom of the blood cave in Fafnir City to avoid encountering the saints of the empire.

The bottom of the entire blood cave is very large, almost covering half of the area of ​​Fafnir City - in this way, even if Fafnir City is lost, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice can still roam in the blood cave and deal with the saints of the expeditionary force.

And those saints of the empire couldn't find him for a while.

But if he really encounters those imperial saints who dare to go deep into the blood cave, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice is also confident - he is fully capable of killing those lone saints and turning their souls and flesh into new sacrifices for the "blood sacrifice".

Once the "Chief Executioner" - the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir Rochester learned the news of the fall of Fafnir City, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch the fall of Fafnir City.

Fafnir will surely make a comeback at the right time, and a saint who is close to the peak of the "Sixth Fate" will have a devastating suppressive power on the saints of the "Fiveth Fate" of the Empire.

Fafnir City will definitely be recaptured by Fafnir himself, after all, it is his lair - and by then, having "guarded" Fafnir City for a long time and perhaps even killed a few imperial saints, he can still gain some benefits from Fafnir.

"..."

In the heart of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, this is what he thought -

Two deep grooves appeared on his turbid and terrifying face, and his "eyes" blinked in them. While thinking about these things, he observed the bishop who broke into the bottom of the blood cave.

At the same time, he slightly shrank the deformed flesh and blood that had been expanding outward, making them harder and firmer.

While the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was doing all this, he suddenly saw a smile on the face of the young bishop opposite him, and he actually greeted him first.

"Long time no see, 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice'."

"..."

haven't seen you for a long time?
Confusion once again arose in the heart of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

That strange feeling of familiarity came over me again, and it was not an illusion.

They must have met somewhere...

"..."

In the cradle of flesh and blood, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice shrank his neck.

He tried hard to recall, but still couldn't remember what kind of intersection he had with the "bishop" opposite him.

But although he didn't know his specific identity yet, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice could still clearly sense that a terrifying and surging spiritual surge was emanating from the bishop in front of him.

That far exceeded the spiritual surge of ordinary "Fivefold Destiny" saints.

If we must make an analogy, it is equivalent to having three, no, at least four saints of this level standing there at the same time, releasing spiritual energy outwards without reservation.

That terrifying surge of spiritual power would never be inferior to mine...

That was a spiritual surge that was infinitely close to, or even had reached, the level of "Sixth Level Destiny"!
"..."

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice felt and analyzed these subconsciously.

An obvious fear was already emerging in his heart. His hands hidden beneath his flesh and blood began to move slightly, and he began to fully mobilize the spiritual power stored in the entire blood pool.

He was also closely observing the other party, and saw that the bishop raised his right hand at the same time, and the dark red scepter in his hand pointed in the direction of the "Executioner" Koros.
But it was not an attack on Koros, but a series of teleportation magic circles were deployed on the surface of the rock where he was deeply embedded. In just a moment, Koros was sent away from the bottom of the blood cave and transported to another place.

The first thing the bishop did was to "send away" an executioner!

"..."

To be honest, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice didn't understand why he did this.

And the spell he used to teleport Koros away was not the holy spell of "Glory"!

That was an unprecedented spell, which should have come from the "ancient heritage"... The Lord of Blood Sacrifice thought about this. He observed that after the bishop opposite him finished doing these things, he turned to face him again, with that weird and somewhat creepy smile still on his face.

"Who are you?"

Beneath the layers of flesh and blood, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice made a turbid, sharp, dry and thin inquiry.

But the bishop did not answer him. He just gently rubbed the bracelet on his right wrist with his left hand and took out something from it.

It was a sculptured doll.

It has two faces, one crying and the other smiling.

It was a "sacred object". The Lord of Blood Sacrifice could clearly feel that the moment the bishop took out the "puppet", a very deep and ancient breath emanated from it.

But the Lord of Blood Sacrifice's focus is obviously not on how old it is.
The moment he saw the bishop take out the puppet, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice suddenly felt his brain go blank. He suddenly understood, comprehended, and realized everything -

The "sacred object" that the bishop took out... was a "two-faced doll"!
——It was the "two-faced doll" that was stolen by Thornblood nearly a year ago!
No one is more familiar with the "two-faced puppet" than the Lord of Blood Sacrifice!
——That should have been his!
"..."

"..."

The moment the bishop took out the "two-faced doll", the Lord of Blood Sacrifice suddenly remembered.

He finally remembered - almost a year ago, a few days after the "Two-Faced Doll" was stolen by a traitor, a "priest" appeared in the field of vision of the "Blood of Thorns" blood disciple he was linked to.

At that time, his subordinates, the "Thorns", were hunting down the traitors and heading to a small town called Dawn.

It was also there that the priest appeared and killed the two "Thorns", and the traitor named Index has disappeared since then!
At that time, I even thought that the traitor named "Intis Fugne" was killed by the priest of the Holy See, and I have been tracking the whereabouts of that priest ever since, just to take back the "divine object" two-faced doll that can alleviate the pain of flesh and blood backlash.

To this end, he even cooperated with the "Executioner" Koros, with whom he had an old grudge. Koros lied that he had retrieved what he wanted, but in the end it turned out that he was not a "two-faced puppet" at all, and what Koros brought back were all useless garbage!

Soon after, the Blood of Thorns was almost completely destroyed within the empire.
Since then, I have completely lost any trace of that "priest"!

"..."

"..."

When the Lord of Blood Sacrifice looked at the "bishop" opposite him again, he felt that his figure was gradually overlapping with the "priest" in his memory.

"It's you……"

"It's you!!!"

"It's you! It's you!!!"

——Boom! ! !

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice roared furiously. He had never felt so, so angry!
Scarlet spirituality radiated outward from his layers of flesh and blood in waves. The entire surface of the blood pool suddenly began to boil, emitting a terrifying, scorching air wave.

The six giant hands entangled with flesh and blood stretched out from the blood pool. They began to tremble at the same time, bursting out with bursts of dense screams, and then blasted towards the direction of the bishop!
--boom!!!!!

The scarlet light suddenly exploded and spread, and the "eyes" of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice hidden under his flesh and blood stared at the two-sided puppet held in the bishop's left hand. He did not say anything more to the bishop, but launched an attack in that direction the moment he finished accumulating strength!
In the mind of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, he could no longer think of anything else—

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice is now only thinking about one thing, which is to take the "two-faced puppet" back from the hands of the bishop, and then kill him completely here - at the bottom of this blood cave!

……

——BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Scarlet light burst out in waves, and just before the six giant hands entangled with flesh and blood launched an attack on the "Bishop", Luo Xiu had already put the "two-faced puppet" back into his bracelet, and several golden discs appeared around him at the same time!
——"Return of divine glory"!
Before going down to the deepest part of the blood cave, Luo Xiu had already prepared several holy arts of [Glory] for himself, and the "Return of Divine Glory" with a permanent effect was the main holy art that Luo Xiu used on himself.

From the blood pool where the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was, six giant hands of flesh and blood exploded towards Luo Xiu's body, and the terrifying energy that accompanied the blast was all absorbed by the "Return of Divine Light" disc in the next moment. The color of the dozens of discs instantly changed from bright gold to scarlet!

And in the next moment,
——BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

A terrifying spiritual surge instantly erupted from the disc of "Return of Divine Light", and condensed into a beam of scarlet light that immediately poured out and rushed outwards, all of which bombarded back towards the Lord of Blood Sacrifice!
The entire bottom of the blood cave erupted with a violent shock, and the scarlet light mist dispersed and spread layer by layer. A deep and huge hole was visibly blasted open on the huge body of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice covered with flesh and blood!

Gray blood flowed out from it, flowing along the cracks in the flesh and blood into the blood pool.

The six giant hands that attacked Luo Xiu were also shaken away by a violent surge at the same time, and fell back into the blood pool, trembling, stirring up a blood flower with a strong fishy smell.

The "Return of Divine Glory" that was prepared early was just in anticipation of this awesome counterattack!

Luo Xiu already knew that taking out the "two-faced puppet" and showing it to the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" would surely anger him on the spot and make him recall his memories of "Dawn Town" and the "Priest".

This would allow the Lord of Blood Sacrifice to form a preconceived understanding, and allow him to directly judge the strength of the "priest" he had seen a year ago. The furious Lord of Blood Sacrifice would most likely give up the temptation and directly launch the most violent attack on him! That was the tactic that Luo Xiu had planned long ago against the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice".

This counterattack directly destroyed more than 20,000 points of the Blood Sacrifice Lord's health. According to Luo Xiu's continuous panel detection of the Blood Sacrifice Lord, his current upper limit of health in the enhanced state of "Blood and Flesh Entanglement" is more than 400,000 points. "Return of Divine Glory" destroyed one twentieth of his health.

Even so, his remaining health was still quite high. As a saint of Red Lotus, and a saint who had gradually transitioned from "human" to "non-human", he had the blood of countless terrifying beasts flowing in his body, and his body had long been fused with various foreign monsters. Although he looked quite "withered", none of the saints of Red Lotus were fragile.

"..."

Luo Xiu observed the panel and thought about this.

When the fierce attack launched by the Lord of Blood Sacrifice finally took effect on him due to the "Return of Divine Brilliance", a smile appeared on Luo Xiu's face and he only said one sentence:
"It's really me."

Then, while the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" was temporarily unable to launch the next round of attacks, Luo Xiu quickly performed several Sanskrit prayers for his skills.

The first is the prayer of “calling.”

The three "gods" and three "contracted beasts" had already been summoned through pre-prayer before Luo Xiu went down to the deepest part of the blood cave.

The "Four-winged Angel" Tatia and the "Mourning Lord" Sasseer have appeared in front of Luo Xiu like two door gods, while the "Illusion Guardian" Amber has directly attached itself to Luo Xiu's body and condensed into his armor;
"Golden Pegasus", "Eternal Night Wolf" Fenrir, and "Eye of the Lunar Eclipse" Misty Night were also summoned to the edge of the blood pool at the same time, completely locking the Lord of Blood Sacrifice who was wrapped in flesh and blood.

This is the first step.

At this moment, the huge and terrifying holes on the body of the 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice', who was pierced by the counterattack of "Return of Divine Glory", were healing themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye - as a top saint in the fifth level of the [Red Lotus] destiny, his self-healing ability was also outstanding.

Soon, the pit, which was almost half a meter in diameter, was restored to a gap of only a dozen centimeters. The gray blood that was constantly seeping down was being "pulled out" from the blood pool like a silver snake, and condensed into a round ball of mercury in the hands of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

His entire body was shaking violently, and the horrifying surge of spiritual energy was radiating outwards without any concealment. A muddy, sharp, and withered voice came out of his split mouth:

"——'Blood Sacrifice'!"

——Buzz!!!

The air was trembling, and the breath of fear filled the entire space. The mercury ball formed by gray blood in his palm began to spin rapidly!

And in the next moment, the "eyes" of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice swept towards Luo Xiu, and his palm filled with floating gray blood grabbed towards Luo Xiu!

--hiss!!!

The ball of mercury broke, making a "hiss, hiss" burning sound in mid-air. The broken blood drops pierced the air like needles and flew rapidly towards Luo Xiu!

At the same time, Luo Xiu clearly felt that when the "eyes" of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice looked at him, all his movements were "stagnant" -

At the same time, a thin layer of red mist appeared above the outline of his body, and he also felt a strange feeling, as if countless small hands were grabbing him tightly, and thorny brambles were wrapped around his body in circles. Those thorns "pierced" deeply into his flesh, making Luo Xiu feel a distinct tingling sensation.

This sudden change made Luo Xiu feel that his spirituality was "cut off" at some point - the prayer of a sacred art he had just performed was interrupted, and the "gray blood" thrown by the Lord of Blood Sacrifice splashed all over him the next moment!
——“Squeak!”
A burning sound was heard, and the gray blood obviously had a very strong corrosive effect. The first thing it began to "erode" was the virtual armor condensed by the amber of the "False Guardian".

Silver flames suddenly appeared in the polluted areas, dark smoke rose up, and Amber's shield value also dropped at an exaggerated speed!

This is the tricky part about the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" - the "grey blood" flowing in his body is cursed and poisonous, and if you get a little bit of it on you, it will corrode you endlessly.

While Luo Xiu was monitoring the status of the "False Guardian" Amber and himself, in just the past five seconds or so, the erosion caused by the "gray blood" had caused Amber's shield to drop by more than 10,000 bars.

This erosion effect caused damage of the "fire" and "corrosion" attributes - the "corrosion" attribute was a rather rare attribute damage, and Luo Xiu did not have the expertise to gain relevant resistance.

The erosion damage of the gray blood also comes with a considerable amount of real damage of "original trauma". While Amber's shield deducted more than 10,000, Amber's blood volume also dropped by more than 1,000, and Luo Xiu himself also dropped by nearly 1,000.

In the previous life, as the final boss of the 1.0 "Judgment War" version, players were often killed instantly by the jumping dot damage of "Gray Blood" - before they could react, the one or two drops of Gray Blood splashed on their bodies had already completely burned them, leaving no ash at all.

This is one of the terrifying things about the Lord of Blood Sacrifice—

As Luo Xiu recalled all this, he felt that his limbs, which had suddenly become stiff, had regained their vitality. He then began to run around the edge of the blood pool, observing the next move of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice while continuing to perform several sacred prayers.

He quickly performed the purification technique and cleansed the "gray blood erosion" on himself and "Amber" in the first place. At the same time, he gave orders to all the contracted gods and contracted beasts to attack the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

"--Roar!!!"

Fenrir, the "Eternal Night Wolf", first let out a deafening roar in the direction of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice. At the same time, his left front paw stomped on the ground, spreading a deep black curtain.

It has already opened up the realm of "eternal night"!

"Eternal Night" quickly engulfed the figure of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, shrouding him in a pitch-black darkness that blocked out all colors. The next moment, Fenrir's figure completely merged into the darkness and appeared behind the Lord of Blood Sacrifice in the realm of "Eternal Night"!

At the same time, it opened its huge bloody mouth and blasted a terrifying black flame towards the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

boom! ! ! ! !
The dark, dense flames instantly set the body of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice burning!

On the side of Fenrir, a deep black fog had spread in the foggy night, sweeping madly towards the direction of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice like a black sand storm!

The "Golden Pegasus" has also spread its wings and soared into the sky. Golden flying stars have condensed around it and are shooting towards the body of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice!
——BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

The golden light burst out in waves, and many deep scars appeared on the body of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice".

The "gray blood" splashed out one piece after another.

The two contracted spirits summoned by Luo Xiu - Tatia and Sather, both of whom were already "Chaos Spirits", were "blocked" at the edge of the blood pool of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, one after the other, and did not move for the time being.

Luo Xiu continued to pray in Sanskrit while watching this scene.

Fenrir and Wuye, who have achieved racial sublimation and advanced to the "annihilation" level, have indeed caused considerable damage to the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

After the heavy-damaging counterattack of "Return of Divine Glory", they bombarded the Blood Sacrifice Lord again and again, reducing his health by about 70,000 points.

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice let out a painful, turbid roar amidst the constantly surging golden, dark purple and pitch-black light. When the abyss beasts had just finished a round of bombardment and the Lord of Blood Sacrifice had just been able to take a short breath, Luo Xiu had already completed dozens of sacred prayers at the same time!

Luo Xiu held the [Dragon Breath Scepter] in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice. A burning golden light burst out from the tip of the staff.
A crack that emitted brilliant golden light had already appeared in the air above the location of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice. Falling stars with tails of light and the cross of annihilation followed one after the other and the Holy Sword of Annihilation also circled and slashed down. Countless terrifying surges of annihilation light had all bombarded the Lord of Blood Sacrifice!
——BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

The horrifying sound of explosions continued one after another, echoing throughout the bottom of the blood cave.

The figure of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was completely submerged by the surging dark erosion and holy light. From the panel detection that Luo Xiu maintained, his blood volume had dropped to less than half in real time!

But this is just the beginning—

"..."

"........."

Suddenly, all the sounds at the bottom of the blood cave "disappeared".

From the constantly surging fog that was a blend of dark erosion and holy light - from the deformed outline of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, a clear burst of scarlet suddenly spread out!

The entire blood pool where he was - the blood pool that was constantly boiling and emitting a burning and thick smell, began to splash and climb upwards from the edge at the moment the scarlet color appeared!
It formed a curtain - a thick, isolating blood curtain, which actually protected the complete body of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" and isolated Fenrir, Fog Night and Pegasus from the outside!
The six giant hands entangled with flesh and blood in the blood pool rose up at the same time, pulling something extremely huge up with them!

Rumbling--

Boom, boom, boom! ! !
The earth was shaking, and the "body" connected by the six entangled giant hands was gradually pulled out of the blood pool.
It was a huge monster, like countless "Giant Views" stitched together.

From the cracks in the tangled flesh and blood, "tentacles" glowing with scarlet light stretched out, and terrifying spirituality surged and gathered in them. It was a monster that was hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice".

The six giant flesh and blood hands that stretched out from the blood pool before now looked like its six "tails".

Surrounding the body of the huge flesh and blood monster, there are hundreds of such giant hands!

And the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" - the Lord of Blood Sacrifice who was sitting on the red lotus base like an inlay, had stood up from the red lotus seat at the same time. The tentacles extending from the monster's back entangled him and soon "swallowed" him into the monster's body!
——Buzz!!!!!!!

Only after witnessing this scene completely did the "disappeared" voice return.
Luo Xiu suddenly felt waves of obvious stinging pain in his ears.

The monster that emerged from the pool of blood opened its "eyes" -

In the place where the "eye socket" should be, the head that should belong to the Lord of Blood Sacrifice emerged.

Smaller cracks appeared on the head, and the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", who had merged with the monster, made a muddy, withered sound:

"I……"

"Give me back..."

"..."

"Give me back my 'two-faced doll'!!!"

……
