Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 520: Alziaz, the "Lord of Illusionary Spirits"
--boom!!!!!

As the roar of destruction descended from the sky, the tiny figure of Fafnir, the Dragon of Destruction, was swallowed up on the spot, and from the surging fiery mist, waves of Fafnir's tearing voice rang out:
“——Ughhhhhhh!!!”

“Quesanx…Quesanx!!”

Fafnir, the "Dragon of Destruction", was enduring the pain of destruction, struggling and roaring, while Luo Xiu was watching this scene.

The "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir finally showed up, and with him also appeared the "Lord of Illusion" Alziaz, which marked that the siege of the Val Fortress had entered the next stage.

At the same time, the main force of the expeditionary force appeared from the edge of the battlefield.

The first one is the "Knight of Heaven's Proclamation" Stuart.

Riding a giant dragon vulture, he led the [Supreme] Dragon Vulture Knights and finally appeared from the edge of the battlefield.

As soon as the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir appeared, Stuart and his Dragon Eagle Knights completely surrounded Fafnir, who was suffering from the torrent of destruction.

As well as several other generals of the [Supreme] - "Thunder General" Albert, "Winter General" Lansas, and several [Supreme] fifth-level saints, have also emerged from the edge of the battlefield leading their respective legions.

Lansas of "Winter" worked with the Templar Knights in the valley in front of the Val Fortress to build a cold ice wall there. That blocked the counterattack of a considerable number of Abyss Beasts, and allowed more Abyss Beasts to rush into the Val Fortress through the cracks and holes in the walls of the Val Fortress.

As for Albert and several other Supreme Saints - they had also broken in from various edges of the battlefield, wiped out the scattered dark army forces they encountered, and then they followed the path opened up by the Knights Templar and the war puppets that the expeditionary force had already deployed to the front battlefield, and attacked the Val Fortress.

Along with the saints and legions of the [Supreme], there also appeared the "Secret Sage" Dukeler of the [Wisdom] Sage's Tower and the warlocks under his command.

The place where they appeared was above the large rifts on both sides of the Val Fortress. Dukeler and his group of warlocks went around the rift from the flank and quickly cleared out some of the dark guards stationed in front of the rift. They then joined up with the Knights Templar and the Advent Legion that had been stationed at the edge of the rift.

Afterwards, the warlocks under Dukeler set up nearly a thousand rune cannons at the edge of the rift, and launched a fierce bombardment on the walls of the Val Fortress when the defensive barrier of the Val Fortress had already been broken!

——BOOM! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
The fortress wall, which was already riddled with holes, became even more dilapidated under the bombardment of thousands of rune cannons.

Under the extremely strong firepower covering a wide range, the city wall basically no longer has any defensive capabilities. The intensity of the siege has reached the current level, and the city wall has become a complete decoration.

……

High in the sky, Luo Xiu, riding on the back of the "Golden Pegasus", was watching these instantaneous changes on the battlefield.

Perhaps Fafnir, the "Dragon of Destruction", was originally quite confident in the defense of the Val Fortress.

But from the moment the tens of thousands of abyss beasts he buried in front of the fortress were "released" and rushed into the Val Fortress in the opposite direction, all his defense plans were disrupted.

This was the biggest reason for Fafnir's defeat - however, Fafnir still had dozens of executioners with terrifying combat power under his command.

The executioners have now all come out -

Half of them are still trapped in the heart of the Vaal Fortress, trying to calm down the chaos caused by the release of countless Abyss Beasts;

The other half had finally appeared on the streets of the battlefield outside the Val Fortress.

As for the three executioners of the "rebel ninjas" - "Shadow Strategist" Koros, "Alienated Demon" Bakad and "Nightmare Witch" Samanthaya, they successfully evacuated from the Val Fortress after completing the tasks assigned by their "Lord" Luo Xiu.

The current situation inside and outside the Val Fortress is a mess.

The expeditionary force's most elite battle regiments have also been deployed. The more than 200 Templar Knights of the "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild and hundreds of "Adventurers" of the "Advent Legion" have already entered the inner city.

The Templar Knights and the Guardian players, who had received instructions from Archbishop Luo Xiu and Heavenly Ring Paladin Darwild in advance, first besieged and killed the "Fang Head" and "Black Fang" stationed in the Val Fortress.
Even those released abyss beasts were not the primary targets of the Templar and Guardian players, they were just driven away.

The balance of victory was now tilting towards the expeditionary force.

The most basic advantage in the battle situation was firmly in the hands of the expeditionary army. This was how Luo Xiu judged the current situation. Then, he set his eyes on the silhouette of Fafnir, the "Dragon of Destruction", who was still immersed in the roar of destruction not far away.

That was the culprit—

Kill him once and for all - in the "Divine Revelation", before Fafnir, the "Dragon of Destruction", finally "falls" or "ascends" into the original devil, perhaps some troubles or even... disasters can be avoided in advance.

Luo Xiu thought about it, and he quickly put it into action.

Riding on the "Golden Pegasus", he quickly performed several holy prayers while rapidly approaching Fafnir's position.

Until Fafnir had truly entered his attack range, Luo Xiu raised the magic sword and scepter in his hands at the same time. The tip of the staff and the blade burst into crimson at the same time, and the hot spirituality began to surge. The next moment, the Devouring Slash and the Fierce Breath blasted towards Fafnir at the same time!

——BOOM BOOM!!!!!!
When the destruction wave launched by the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx on Fafnir had not yet dissipated, the crimson light wave blasted towards Fafnir from Luo Xiu's side had swallowed him up again. In the surging crimson light mist, Luo Xiu vaguely saw Fafnir, who was in such a fierce burning state, and he was still struggling violently.

"——Uhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The painful roar seemed to tear the eardrums, and it echoed in the sky along with the roar of the shock.

At the same time, Luo Xiu was monitoring the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir through the panel. He had already had his upper limit of health reduced due to the use of the authority [Shape of Destruction], and was falling rapidly under the repeated bombardment from the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx and himself.

As for Fafnir, the Dragon of Destruction, Luo Xiu had actually decided from the beginning that the tactic he had in mind was to kill him the moment he showed his head. Fafnir's original health points of over 1.5 million had quickly dropped to 1 million under such a terrifying bombardment.

At a certain moment, Luo Xiu suddenly heard the tearing scream of Fafnir, the Dragon of Destruction, erupting in the terrifying roar.

“Ugh… [Alziaz]!!!”

"The one who is with me... [Alziaz]!!!"

That is another "True Ancestor Demon" and "Lord of Illusionary Spirit" Alziaz!

——Buzz!!!

As the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir let out such a tearing scream, there were bursts of bell-like sounds in the air. At the same time, Luo Xiu felt that the air around him gradually became damp, cold and heavy, as if it was frozen.

The damp, cold and heavy feeling quickly turned into extreme cold, and the deep red light that Luo Xiu and Quesanx blasted at the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir gradually stagnated.

In Luo Xiu's senses which were obviously becoming sluggish and slow, he had already seen the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir trapped in the deep red surge, with black and gray smoke emanating from his body.

The "Illusionary Spirit Lord" Alziaz, who appeared with him before, was like a fog or ghost. He was the black or gray smoke that gradually condensed and merged into a new "body" from Fafnir's body.

It was a body that looked like a giant eyeball.

A gigantic "eyeball" - the edges are covered with dark lines and scarlet blood, and the outer edge is a bunch of entangled devil horns like octopus tentacles. This is the true form of the "Lord of Illusion".

His "eyeballs" were spinning, and the deep lines and scarlet blood on the edges were trembling, emitting a sharp sound that was definitely not that of a living thing, but more like countless rough iron pieces scraping against each other.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!”

——Bang! !
After the "Illusionary Spirit Lord" Alziaz made such a disturbing sound, the smoke overflowing from Fafnir's body suddenly bloomed, and the gray light went in the opposite direction of the surge of destruction, the slashing, and the surge of murderous breath to resist and devour it. In just a blink of an eye, a virtual wall that was almost a "vacuum" appeared around Fafnir.

And in the direct perception of Luo Xiu, "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart, and "Paladin of Heaven's Ring" Davild, the three saints who besieged Fafnir, their vision fell into absolute darkness.

All this happened in just a moment.

What Luo Xiu knew was that this was the ability of the "Illusionary Spirit Lord" Alziaz - the ability to influence and delay perception, causing the spiritual beings around him to fall into heterogeneous chaos.

Compared to the "Wild Hunt Demon" Gabrio, the "Illusionary Spirit Lord" Alziaz is obviously not good at direct combat. But his strongest and most difficult point is the influence and weakening of the environment, through which he can achieve his purpose of guiding, distorting and even controlling.

In Luo Xiu's mind, his thoughts raced along with these -

However, Luo Xiu was well prepared for the possible impact and weakening caused by "Illusionary Spirit Lord" Alziaz. When he felt his senses slow down, Luo Xiu had already prayed for "authority" in advance.

And at the moment when his vision was completely plunged into darkness, he had already raised his right hand, with the back of his hand pressed against his forehead, and a warm, pale golden light emanated from his face.

“Baptize me.”

Luo Xiu prayed softly.

——That is the Level II authority of [Glory], the authority of the "Seal of God's Word"!

In the darkness that was like ignorance, the moment Luo Xiu completed the prayer of the authority of "God's Holy Seal", the sacred archangel descended from the holy door and appeared.

He looked at Luo Xiu with divine compassion, holding a bell and gently shaking it, making a light and distant "ding--" sound, and at the same time made a sacred declaration--

"You will be baptized."

Wow!

There was a sound like water rushing over a boulder, then grinding it into a thin film and dispersing it. The darkness in front of Luo Xiu's eyes quickly dissipated, and color returned to his eyes.

Then, he saw the other two saints with the sixth destiny - "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart, and "Knight of Heaven's Ring" Davild. They seemed to be frozen in time, standing there in a daze.

"Stupid" is not actually accurate - they just haven't regained their clear perception yet. Stuart and Dawild were obviously changing to a defensive posture, but their movements seemed quite sluggish, and in Luo Xiu's eyes, they were extremely slow.

It felt like they were immersed in water, but moving as if on land.

At the same time, Luo Xiu had opened his "spiritual vision" and he had seen that Stuart and David were entangled with complicated and invisible "threads", just like puppets on strings.

The source of those threads could not be seen, but it was obvious that they came from the "Illusionary Spirit Lord" Alziaz. However, this "True Ancestor Demon" and the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir were no longer in the sky, and their figures and breath had disappeared without a trace.

Luo Xiu was alert to his surroundings, and then began to pray for possible holy arts, skills, and authority to be released.

And at a certain moment, he suddenly felt his heart pumping violently.

An extremely strong sense of crisis surged into his heart, sounding the alarm, and behind Luo Xiu - from there suddenly came an extremely surging, violent and rich spiritual surge.

That is the breath of [Red Lotus], accompanied by a deep, dark and spiritual aura.

That is the spiritual surge of "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir and "Lord of Illusion" Alziaz!
The disappeared Fafnir reappeared, and the first thing he did after "hiding" was obviously to launch a sneak attack on himself!
--boom!!!!!

When Luo Xiu realized it, the blazing fire ignited by the terrifying spirit was approaching. Luo Xiu felt a huge, heavy impact, which hit his back violently.

Then, he felt a distinct burning sensation and smelled a strong smell of blood. Then, he felt a surge of intense pain. He was already injured.

The "Phantom Spirit Lord" obscured most of the perception, which was indeed dangerous and tricky in such a chaotic battlefield.

But when the sneak attack of "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir was successful and a sinister, hideous and twisted smile gradually appeared on his face, dozens of golden rings had already condensed around Luo Xiu.

——"Return of divine glory"!
When the roar caused by Fafnir appeared, the dozens of rings were completely absorbed and eliminated.

Then, the smile on Fafnir's face disappeared.

He had seen it: when the color of the rings quickly changed to deep red, a blazing surge of light blasted out from them in the opposite direction, and his field of vision was instantly occupied by a whole expanse of scarlet red.

--boom!!!!!

The loud bang was loud!
