Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 499 Pampas: Among Us...

And just after the "Lion Heart" Pampas breathed a sigh of relief.

He had already thought that General Atton, the second seat of the "Round Table", would also come to Fafnir City. At that time, he could join forces with Atton and launch another accusation against "Bishop" Ross.

From now on, his expeditionary army will stay in Fafnir for another three days. During these three days, he still has plenty of time to test the details of the "bishop" from many angles.

"..."

Pampas was thinking about this.

Although the previous test of the "bishop" failed, Pampas was obviously not discouraged. He had thought of several plans to test the "bishop" in the future, and then he opened his mouth and called out to the throne knights in front of him:

"Adrian, and Lehman."

"..."

To Pampas's surprise, he called out the names of the two "Knights of the Throne", but no one responded to him.

"Adrian? Lehman?"

Pampas, who hadn't realized what was happening, thought that his Knights of the Throne didn't hear him clearly, so he called out again.

This time, the two "Throne Knights" closest to him in his tent turned around at the same time!

Pampas suddenly felt that a very rich and profound aura was emanating from them at the same time!

At the same time, they raised their arms slightly, and dark marks appeared faintly on the nails on the back of their hands!

It was the mark of the overlapping sword blade and dragon claw, a pattern that Pampas had never seen before.

A low and hoarse voice rang out from under the visors of the throne knights named "Adrian" and "Lehman":

"Please forgive us, Master Pampas."

Before this sentence was uttered, Pampas suddenly saw that the strange marks on the back of their hands suddenly emitted light!
The two crimson circles then spread out rapidly, encompassing Pampas and the other two throne knights!
"you--"

Pampas was caught off guard. He had no idea what his throne knights had done. Before he could even react to stop them, everything in front of him was plunged into darkness.

……

And in the big tent that originally belonged to General "Lionheart".

"Lionheart General" Pampas and the four throne knights who were his personal guards, all of them disappeared into the big tent the moment the two crimson circles closed.

They “disappeared”—literally disappeared.

The curtain that Pampas had drawn beforehand blocked the view from inside and outside, so no one outside knew what was happening in the tent.

Then, it was in the corner of the tent.

Hundreds of fog shadows that had been placed here long ago began to spread.

Thick black fog enveloped everything in the tent.

Then, they began to gather and change until they solidified into the image of "Lionheart" Pampas and the four throne knights who had been in the tent with him before.

It was as if nothing had happened in the tent and everything was as usual.

……

Wait until the vision becomes bright again.

Pampas saw that the two "Throne Knights" who had dragged him into the different space - "Adrian" and "Lehman" were still in front of him, and he seemed to be in an ancient and magnificent palace.

Pampas didn't know where he was teleported to, but he could clearly see that not far away from him, there were extraordinary people with four or even five destinies!

They were wearing cloaks, which cast sinister and hostile gazes. Dozens of hostile spirits had locked onto them.

And in the farther field of vision - that should be the deepest and highest point of the ancient hall where he was, on the huge golden throne, there was another dark figure sitting.

The spiritual surge emanating from that figure was particularly terrifying—it far surpassed everyone present, including Pampas himself!

Observing everything that suddenly happened around him, Pampas's brain almost came to a standstill.

His other two throne knights had already drawn their swords at the same time, pointing them in the direction of Adrian and Lehman:

"What did you do!"

The two throne knights questioned them harshly, but Adrian and Lehman seemed oblivious.

They simply retreated, and soon several extraordinary beings wearing dark cloaks flashed up to fill their positions.

The blades of the swords held by the two throne knights burst into deep red at the same time, as if they were about to stab the enemies who were about to surround them, but the next moment, they were blown away by an even more terrifying spiritual surge!
--boom! ! ! !
A giant beast suddenly appeared in front of Pampas. The stomping of its huge feet swept away the storm, and the terrifying force immediately surged to the surroundings!
On the back of the beast was a ferocious dragonborn. Even Pampas recognized him.

That is the "alien demon" Bakad!

The other two "saints" who surrounded them were also "executioners" - a "shadow strategist" Koros, and a "nightmare witch" Samanthaya!
"..."

Is this Fafnir's lair? !
Pampas couldn't help thinking like this -

Knowing that he was in deep danger, Pampas rushed towards the exit of the hall without hesitation!
He knew that fighting head-on was definitely not a way to survive - as long as he could escape alive and find a way or a path to leave this alien space, he could tell Lord Gawain and the "Knight of Heaven's Proclamation" Stuart about the enemy's lair, and then he could lead the expeditionary force to re-enter and destroy this place...

Pampas thought so, but he only took the first step towards escape, and the road ahead was blocked by thick black fog.

In front of Pampas, he saw a dry and slender figure appear.

It was a bottle of "divine spirit", and the spiritual aura it exuded was quite terrifying - Pampas, who was using his perception to judge the other party, knew at the first moment that he was encountering a bottle of "chaos spirit"!
In Pampas's eyes, the Chaos Spirit's entire body was a deep black color, covered with dense dark lines, with deep light flowing through it like ripples;
He floated there like a ghost, exuding a dark, thick breath of death. On his oval face, six eyes were opened, and the pupils with strange patterns were staring at Pampas, making Pampas feel a strong sense of foreboding and palpitations.

That was none other than the “Mourning the Dead Lord” Sather!

His body was shrouded in overlapping veils, and the six arms extending from his thin torso were in a ritual posture. Then, the six hands that were originally clasped together slowly separated, and three of them pointed at Pampas. His slender mouth hummed, making a sharp and long sound -

"You are...food."

"The bread of death, the bread of sacrifice to me, the bread that fills my emptiness."

"..."

"——Get away!"

A ferocious expression appeared on Pampas' face. He took out the sword from his waist and chopped it heavily at the strange god!

Before being teleported to this strange space, the double-edged giant axe that Pampas usually used was still left in the tent - but the high-ranking people of the [Supreme] usually never leave their swords, and that is also a very sharp "epic" quality heavy sword.

But when Pampas swung the sword at the god, the sword spread out like it hit the surface of water when it touched the dark outline of the god. Pampas did not feel the sensation of hitting a real object - the chaotic spirit opposite was a god like a "spiritual body".

Pampas had realized this, but before he could withdraw his heavy sword, he saw the dark god's slender lips humming and uttering a long whisper -

"Let it decline and perish." - Woo!!!

"The Lord of Mourning" Sather pointed three skinny fingers at Pampas, and three thick black mists burst out from his fingertips.

The outline of the black fog was shaking violently, and shrill wails continued to emanate from it, quickly wrapping around Pampas' body!
In just a moment, dark lines of corrosion appeared on Pampas' body - he had been cursed with death by the "Mourning Lord" Sather.

——Bang!

The spreading erosion lines suddenly burst open the next moment, transforming into more tiny lines, eroding deeper into Pampas' body and soul!

The feeling of weightlessness came over him - Pampas realized that he had become extremely weak.

His originally steady steps became frivolous and he stumbled. His movement was instantly halted. He could feel his vitality rapidly draining away and fading away, turning into food for the dark spirit opposite him.

"Let it decline!"

Without waiting for Pampas to make any other moves, "The Mourning Lord" Sather had once again condensed the spiritual power of the death curse at his fingertips and released it all in the direction of Pampas!

Thick black fog once again enveloped the Pampas.

The overflowing death has swallowed him up - under the control of the "Mourner of the Dead", Pampas has no chance of breaking free.

Bang!

There was a sound of metal falling to the ground, followed by a "thump".

Pampas could no longer hold the sword in his hand, and his consciousness gradually dissipated as the death curse eroded him more and more, and he finally fell into a coma uncontrollably.

……

The Holy Abyss Royal Court, on the golden throne.

Luo Xiu, as the "Lord of the Holy Abyss", was watching the scene in front of him.

Ever since he left the auditorium and returned to the church, he had already begun to plan against Pampas.

First, they dragged Pampas's two most trusted throne knights, "Adrian" and "Lehman", into the Holy Abyss using the same method as that used to drag in "Executioner" Koros, and easily transformed them into Holy Abyss Apostles.

Then, let Adrian, Lehman and Pampas do the same to him after they return to the tent.

Pampas would never have imagined that his revenge on him would take this form - and the facts proved to be so.

During this period, countless fog shadows differentiated by the foggy night of the "Eye of the Lunar Eclipse" have poured into the Pampas' camp by the hundreds.

That was a complete surveillance of Pampas without blind spots - Luo Xiu saw clearly every move of Pampas after he entered the big tent, including the contact he made with another "Lionheart Knight".

Pampas's means of contacting him - he used a knife to draw blood and chanted the hymn of authority. In fact, he was the one who was truly tainted with [authority] - but this was not the key point. The key point was that Luo Xiu did see the figure of the "Order Killer" that he had seen in the magic crystal ball from the blood mist.

This has proved my previous conjecture.

Pampas was indeed instructed by another "Order Killer", so what to do next is very simple.

"..."

Luo Xiu was thinking about this.

At the same time, he was paying close attention to the situation on the side of "Lionheart" Pampas. The gap in strength between the "True Ancestor Demon" and "Mourning Lord" Sather and Pampas was almost overwhelming.

The strength of a "Chaos Spirit" can be equivalent to the most advanced fifth-level destiny, or the early sixth-level destiny saint, but Pampas is obviously not one of them.

It was in the thick black fog spread by the "Mourning Lord" Sasseer that Luo Xiu heard bursts of explosions coming from it.

——Bang! Bang! Bang!

That was the sound of Pampas the Lionheart and the death curse in his body finally starting to erupt one after another!

And in the panel detection that Luo Xiu maintained on him, the health of "Lionheart" Pampas began to drop rapidly, falling to 80%, to 50%, and finally to less than 30%.

At this point, Luo Xiu stood up from the golden throne, holding the staff of [Death's Lament] in his hand, and two wings emitting black light spread out behind him, flying towards the direction of "Lion Heart" Pampas.

The "Mourning Lord" Sather, who had received instructions from his contract master, did not actually kill Pampas.

After Pampas exploded with the "curse" and weakened him to the point of death, Sather's mission was completed. He then looked at the figure in front of him, the figure in the black fog of death who had lost all reaction, with a little pity and regret, and said with his lips humming:

"...What a pity. You cannot appreciate the beauty of death."

As he spoke, his voice gradually became blurred, and his figure gradually retreated, finally disappearing into the black fog.

And with the departure of "Mourning the Dead Lord" Sather.

The thick, surging black fog that He spread gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of "Lionheart" Pampas shrouded in the shadow of death.

He was lying on the ground without a single scratch on his body.

Even the "Lionheart" armor was not damaged at all, but his face had become extremely pale, and traces of deep, eroded lines could still be seen on it, and his pupils had turned white and cloudy.

This is indeed the effect that Luo Xiu wanted to achieve.

Compared to summoning the "Mourning Lord" Sather, there are actually more ways to put Pampas on the verge of death. However, the "Mourning Lord" who is proficient in death and curse can help Pampas avoid more skin injuries, and the subsequent treatment will be much simpler.

Then, Luo Xiu came to Pampas who was lying on the ground and raised his arm slightly.

He then stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on Pampas' forehead. His eyes flashed with a deep feeling, and a golden light floated on the back of his hand. He began to chant:

"——This is kindness, this is mercy..."

"——You are the sin of straying, and I am the guiding light..."

"——Abandon the Supreme Being and follow me..."

"——Convert to the Holy Abyss and serve me as your Lord..."

"..."

……

About three minutes passed.

In the panel detection that Luo Xiu maintained on Pampas, the entry "Crazy Believer (stable, permanent)" had appeared in the "Status" column of his panel.

The transformation into "mad piety" has been completed.

……
