Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 492: The Fall of the Hidden Sage
Under the gaze of the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman, he saw that the "bishop" was quite close to him!

Hoffman, who was standing below the battlefield, also had a clear view of the sudden change that had occurred in the air.

He clearly witnessed the entire process of the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir, from summoning the ancient dragon to losing the ancient dragon and then escaping in disgrace. A ferocious and unbelievable expression appeared on his face.

If Hoffman wasn't still locked in a fierce battle with the "Golden Sword Saint" Klein Fesela, he would have wanted to yell at the top of his lungs right there.

Damn Fafnir!
***'s stupid teammate! ****, *****!

It's probably this kind of dirty words -

In Hoffman's eyes, Fafnir's escape was too determined and decisive anyway.

He did not leave any signal at all. After he broke his arm and used a Level III power of [Red Lotus] to escape, the battle situation could be said to have completely collapsed.

Having lost the most important backbone, "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir, the dark army abandoned by him on the battlefield eventually died in battle instead of being captured and tortured to death, which can be considered a good result.

Hoffman certainly knew that the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir had escaped, and the battle to retake Fafnir City, led by Fafnir, had fallen into an irreversible defeat.

Now, what I should do is very simple...

--run!

While the losses on the side of the "Hidden Omniscient" have not yet increased, run as far as you can!

Hoffman thought about this and tried his best to mobilize all his spiritual energy. His right hand crushed a magic crystal that had been pinched at his fingertips. Then, a phantom of a magic puppet condensed in front of him.

It was a slender, centaur-like puppet.
But before it was truly freed from the sealing stone and condensed into a complete puppet, another extremely turbulent sword light emitting brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from not far away!
--boom!!!!!

The sword pierced through the other puppet that Hoffman had summoned. The aftermath of the "Golden Strike" that Klein stabbed with the golden sword actually dispersed the azure spirituality lingering around, and it hit Hoffman's thin body violently like a sledgehammer!

"puff!"

The Hidden Sage Hoffman was hit hard and was thrown into the air uncontrollably. He kept flipping and fell towards the gravel on the side.

He was distracted just now, attracted by the "Bishop" who flew down from the sky, but suddenly ignored the most pressing crisis in front of him - "Golden Sword Saint" Klein was staring at him all the time. Even if Hoffman was distracted for only a moment, Klein would catch the flaw!
……

--Chance!
While riding on the "Golden Pegasus" and pursuing the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman, Luo Xiu had completed several prayers of holy arts. At the same time, he saw the "Golden Sword Saint" Klein deliver a fierce blow to Hoffman!
In an instant, Hoffman was knocked over by the terrifying impact force and rolled uncontrollably in the air, while Klein raised his sword and rushed towards Hoffman!
At the same time, Luo Xiu raised his magic sword and scepter towards Hoffman who was flying backwards in the air. After briefly charging, he blasted out two waves of crimson light.

boom! ! ! ! !
"Ancient Dragon's Evil Breath" and "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash"!
Now, although the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx has chased Fafnir away, the influence of the remaining ancient dragon resonance is still there. The number of layers of "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" superimposed in the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] is the full nine layers.

Almost at the same time, the deep red light raised by the murderous aura and the devouring slash engulfed Hoffman's thin figure, and a pale blue light seemed to appear above the outline of his body for a moment. He once again crushed a few magic crystals, as if he had temporarily opened a close-fitting protective barrier.

At the same time as the pale blue barrier was opened, amidst the continuous explosions of fierce breath and devouring slashes, Hoffman almost shouted at the top of his lungs -

"Save me! Dierzak!"

He shouted out a name, and then a knight-shaped puppet covered in heavy armor strode towards Hoffman's position not far away!

That is a giant puppet of the "Disaster" level!

And it seems to have a name and intelligence - no, that's not right.

When Hoffman called out the name "Dilzak", Luo Xiu simultaneously detected the panel of the puppet that responded -

That is a "hidden elder"!
Just like Baberon, who he had dealt with before and is now a prisoner in the Tower of Sages, "Dilzak" is also a hidden elder of the "Hidden Omniscient", and he is the core of the puppet, deeply controlling it with the complete fusion of his body and the puppet!

He should be the saint under Hoffman. At the same time as "Dilzak" appeared, the earth began to shake violently, and bursts of "boom, boom, boom" sounds broke out!

The "Hidden Elder" Dilzak controlled the giant puppet of destruction and rushed towards Hoffman's position. During this time, the giant puppet's arm swelled like a stone pier, and the flesh and blood that drilled out from the inside out clung to the surface, as if wanting to use both the puppet and its body to withstand the bombardment that he would release next!

Luo Xiu stared at it, and the magic sword and scepter in his hands were pointed at it at the same time -

The rapidly rising spiritual surge was already aimed at the core area on the giant puppet's chest, which was flashing with azure light.

"Dilzak", he came at the right time - because a special reward of [The Disaster of Quesanx] required the killing of a saint with the "Fivefold Destiny", and in order to save time, Luo Xiu did not turn halfway.

Dilzak, the "Hidden Elder", came to us on his own initiative!

Then, the next moment——

boom! ! ! ! !
The scorching dragon breath burst out!

The terrifying crimson light was like a torrent, completely covering and engulfing the giant puppet and the figure of the "hidden elder" Dilzak inside it!
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying Devouring Slash came with a bang, and it hit the puppet's giant fist heavily, and the aftermath of the blow penetrated and exploded violently on the core crystal!

--boom!!!!!

Pah-la-la! Pah-la-la!
The crisp sound of shattering mixed with the shocking sound of explosion came out in a dense and continuous stream!

It was visible to the naked eye that the "core" embedded in the puppet's chest had quickly started to crack, and under the repeated explosions of the murderous breath and the devouring slash, the azure crystal stone in the core could not even last for two seconds, and it suddenly "popped" and shattered completely!
Then, the puppet fused and controlled by the "Hidden Elder" Dilzak became completely paralyzed.

A chaotic light flowed across its surface, and at the same time, a slight surge of electricity rose up. Many movable joints trembled as if twitching, and dark red blood gushed out from the cracks.

Luo Xiu watched this scene, and the magic sword in his hand pointed at it again.

After accumulating for a short time, the terrifying devouring light gushed out and pierced through the cracks caused by the previous bombardment, piercing through the puppet and the body of the "hidden elder" Dilzak inside it!
--boom!!!!!

A huge bang sounded, and then the deep red light mist surged up again.

A strong smell of blood filled the air, and a new message appeared on Luo Xiu's panel:

[You have killed the "Hidden Elder" Dierzak Schlotat (lv.56)]

——Kill!

After killing Dilzak, Luo Xiu did not hesitate or stop for a moment. He picked up the magic sword and scepter, and the next target he aimed at was the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman who had just landed and stood firm behind the fallen giant puppet!

……

From the appearance of the "Hidden Elder" Dilzak to his death, it was actually just a few blinks of an eye.

The speed was so fast that even the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman had no time to react. The puppet he gave to Dilzac was even a fortress-type puppet, but he couldn't even unfold the fortress and enter the real defensive form!
"Dilzak——"

Hoffman watched the scene in front of him with bloodshot eyes, until Dierzak died in front of him, Hoffman finally felt great panic.

Dierzak, the "Hidden Elder", was Hoffman's important assistant. He died. To Hoffman, Dierzak's death was completely worthless, because he did not buy him any time to operate! Hoffman looked in front of him angrily, looking at the "bishop" who had just killed Dierzak. The barrier covering his body glowed with a deep blue light, and he hurriedly completed the spiritual mobilization.

He had to really start facing the "bishop" - Hoffman's spirit had drilled into the surroundings like a blue snake, and seven or eight alien puppets made strange rotation sounds at the same time and turned towards Luo Xiu.

Then, Hoffman turned to the other side - in front of him was an open space, where something like a tombstone suddenly stood up, with dark blue lines flowing on its surface. Suddenly, it emitted a strong light like a signpost!
The air above the "beacon" began to become turbulent, and a vortex-like ring emerged. It was a "door" that could be used to teleport to a certain predetermined location nearby.

That was Hoffman's long-awaited preparation for retreat!
Then, the blue barrier that enveloped and protected his entire body suddenly began to expand - the spirituality contained in it had turned into substance, turning into a "thorn" that could block and reject everything, and at the same time, a halo extended from Hoffman's boots, carrying Hoffman to sprint at high speed!

From now on, he will go to that "signpost" regardless of everything - as long as he enters the ring gate that is like a whirlpool, he will be able to successfully escape!

Behind him, the "Golden Sword Saint" Klein had already sensed his intention and rushed towards him the moment he mobilized his spiritual power, but he was still some distance away from him.

And the "Bishop" Luo Xiu - that was Hoffman's main target. At the same time, he was locked by eight "annihilation" puppets and could not directly break through the blockade to pursue Hoffman.

……

But Luo Xiu did not make any move to chase Hoffman.

While Hoffman was running away, he was just praying on the spot, and had summoned "Lulu" Fenrir and "Wings of the Burning World" Wu Ye to the battlefield.

The giant wolf burning with holy flames and the raven turning into a sea of ​​fire blocked the puppets summoned by Hoffman.

After completing the summoning prayer, Luo Xiu lightly raised his right hand.

On the back of his right hand, a golden holy seal shone. It was the pattern that symbolized "protection" -

"Come to my side."

Luo Xiu recited a prayer quickly, and at the same time, the air in front of him rippled gently like water.

At the same time, a golden glow sprinkled in the sky, holy sounds echoed in the air, and the sacred figure of the "Four-Winged Angel" Tatya appeared at the same time.

——"Sacred Seal of Protection"!
With this Level I authority of [Glory], Luo Xiu summoned the "four-winged angel" Tatya, with whom he had contracted, to his presence!
At this moment, He was holding the glowing Radiant Scepter in His hand. Tatia smiled, and He watched the fleeing back of the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman. He opened the field of the Holy Ritual and raised the scepter in the direction of Hoffman.

"To make them lost."

The "Four-Winged Angel" - Tatia, who is also the "Fallen Angel", made such a cold declaration.

——Buzz!!!

Within the holy ritual field that He unfolded, the figure of the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman suddenly froze, and a pale golden light emanated from the outline of his body. Then, a "Holy Door" with golden light flowing on the edges fell from the sky and swallowed Hoffman's figure!

That was the reversal of Tatia's new abilities after she was upgraded to a "Chaos Spirit" and became a "Four-Winged Angel"!
——The reversal of "The Holy Door of Audience"!

This was a method that Luo Xiu had already thought of to prevent Hoffman from escaping!
The previous "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir was not susceptible to control, so he couldn't use this method, but Hoffman could - the next moment, the same "Holy Door" that swallowed Hoffman's body appeared and opened in front of "Golden Sword Saint" Klein!
Obviously, Klein had a look of surprise on his face for a moment, and was obviously surprised at how the "bishop" could do such a thing.

But he didn't think more about it.

He was fully committed to the battle, holding the sword tightly with his golden prosthetic hand, and at the moment when the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman was spit out again by the door, he threw the tip of the sword at him!
"In the name of gold—"

--boom!!!!!

The terrifying golden light swept and exploded violently. This time, it hit Hoffman's body solidly and penetrated it!
Hoffman could never have imagined that he would encounter such a change.

At this moment, the distance between him and Klein was suffocating.

When the "Golden Sword Saint" Klein launched this last "Golden Blow" at him, almost all of the impact force was exploded on the blue barrier that protected him, without even a trace of it escaping!

Clap!

The "blue" barrier was broken.

The golden sword light then truly hit Hoffman's flesh and blood body. In just a moment, his face turned extremely pale, blood gushed out from the holes on his body, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

The direction he flew backwards was exactly the direction Luo Xiu had been waiting for.

Luo Xiu just looked at him coldly and regretfully, and at the same time, raised the scepter in his hand towards him.

--boom!!!!!

The next moment, a surging and violent crimson light burst out from the dragon stone of the scepter!

Hoffman's figure was swallowed up again, and at the same time, Luo Xiu, riding the "Golden Pegasus", also rushed into the scarlet sea of ​​fire.

……

Until the surging crimson gradually dissipated.

Among them, the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman, who was only breathing his last breath, was trampled to the ground by Pegasus's front hooves. His face was already bloody, but heavy breathing could still be heard.

"F...Ffnir..."

The "Hidden Sage" Hoffman, who was already on the verge of death, struggled and twisted his neck, trying to break free from Pegasus's hooves, but he was no longer able to do this simple task.

Luo Xiu was still looking at him, and at the same time, he raised the magic sword in his hand high.

The next moment, he swung his sword and chopped down——

boom! ! ! ! !
The light bursting out from the red sword blade completely obliterated Hoffman's crippled figure the moment the sword was swung down.

He didn't whine, nor did he struggle.

[You have killed the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman Lotfi (lv.69)]

【…】

Hoffman, the "Hidden Sage",

He has truly died.
