Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 522: Victory and Destruction

That is the chant of [Red Lotus] Level III authority, [Shaping of Destruction]!

Luo Xiu had already figured out all of this almost the moment he heard Fafnir's chanting.

At the same time, the golden light of the Holy Seal flashed on the back of his hand—and simultaneously, the authority of [Glory] that Fafnir had prepared was also released!

——【Glory】Level II authority, “Holy Seal of Glory”!
Two golden rings appeared behind Luo Xiu, and then, before the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir finished chanting [Shaping of Destruction] - the rings of [Glory Seal] had already quickly scattered towards him and soon hit him!

"Ugh!!"

"Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir let out an extremely shrill and painful wail.

The scarlet spirituality that had just gushed out and emanated from Fafnir's body was interrupted and disappeared in an instant.

Luo Xiu didn't know yet, what Fafnir had sacrificed to the "Throne of Destruction" during this [Shaping of Destruction].

Luo Xiu only saw a very thick blood mist emanating from Fafnir's body, and along with it, an extremely strong smell of blood -

Fafnir's first use of [Shape of Destruction], the action of [Red Lotus] level III authority, was interrupted.

Then, from the three directions of "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx, "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart, and "Paladin of the Sky Ring" Dawild, terrifying spiritual surges also gathered.

The giant lance held by "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart had a crimson spiral on its blade. He infused it with the most intense and blazing spirituality, and strengthened it with his authority as "Heaven's Word", before hurling it in the direction of Fafnir;
The holy sword in the hand of the "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild was also emitting brilliant light. Pure, blazing [Glorious] spirituality was bursting out from the blade of the holy sword. Blessed by his own "Sky Ring", as well as Luo Xiu's "Holy Wing Incarnation" and the strengthening of several unfolded sacred domains, the spirituality emanating from Davild was also quite high.
The "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx, his dragon eyes filled with anger were staring at the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir in the surging red fog. He kept roaring that shook the earth and sky, and from beginning to end, he never stopped blasting Fafnir.

Stuart and Davild, together with Quesanx the "Dragon of Justice" hovering in the sky, clamped down on Fafnir the "Dragon of Destruction" and launched the most violent attack on him within a dozen seconds after Fafnir's first [Shape of Destruction] was interrupted!

——BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

The torrent that was powerful enough to crush and annihilate everything was centered at Fafnir, and it rushed and converged from three directions.

The roar caused by the surging terrifying shock quickly drowned out Fafnir's faint roar.

Luo Xiu stayed in mid-air, suspended on the edge of the surging light mist with the "Golden Pegasus", watching and paying attention to the scene in front of them.

From the panel monitoring that Luo Xiu had been maintaining on "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir, his health was almost at the bottom.

Fafnir was now on the verge of being seriously injured. And Luo Xiu was always on guard against him, wary of him being "upgraded" to a demon.

Just as seen in the "Divine Oracle" - "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir, according to the oracle of the moment, he will become the new "Original Devil".

But there are still no related signs, and even... apart from feeling the strong "Dark Erosion" spirituality emanating from the two "True Ancestor Demons" - "Wild Hunt Demon" Gabriel, and "Illusionary Spirit Lord" Alziaz, Luo Xiu did not sense the same spirituality from Fafnir.

I always feel that something is not right. This is not what Luo Xiu expected, that the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir would become the "Original Demon" on the battlefield.

At least from the perspective of spiritual perception and even detection on the panel, the current "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir is just a peak saint of the sixth level of the [Red Lotus] destiny. If he had not indeed demonstrated his control over the "Wild Hunt Demon" Gabriel and the "Lord of Illusion" Alziaz, it would be difficult to feel that Fafnir has any connection with the [Abyss].

This feeling was inexplicably similar to his current self... Luo Xiu couldn't help but think of himself, and at the same time, he suddenly saw a rich, manic scarlet burst out from the surging light mist in front of him!
That was the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir, who once again attempted to perform [Shape of Destruction]!
"In the bloody flames... my everlasting Lord!"

"I offer you my origin... Ugh!!!"

His attempt to activate [Destruction Refinement] was also interrupted. With Luo Xiu's previous successful experience, "Sky Ring Holy Knight" Davild also released the "Glory Holy Seal" to Fafnir at a critical moment!
Bang!Bang bang!

Waves of horrifying explosions erupted from the inside out of Fafnir's body. The blood had already turned into flying needles as thick as mist, splashing around and corroding the spirits of those it encountered, making "hiss, hiss" sounds.

After interrupting Fafnir's [Shaping of Destruction] for the second time, Ross, Quesanx, Stuart and Davild bombarded Fafnir even more fiercely.

Fafnir's health has actually fallen below the "severely injured" blood line, and is even about to fall to "near death".

As if a bottoming reaction was triggered, his health began to recover rapidly. That should be the effect of one or several of Fafnir's life-saving specialties.

And in the dense explosions and terrifying surges, when the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir was finally able to resume his movements, Luo Xiu once again vaguely heard his chanting voice -

"In the bloody flames... my everlasting Lord!"

"I offer you my original flesh and blood, please have mercy on me!"

"——Give me the temper of destruction!"

Although his voice was weak, it still penetrated the surging light mist, and this time, there was no authority of the "Glory Seal" that could interrupt him -

At the same time, Luo Xiu saw that when the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir tried to use [Shape of Destruction] for the third time, the dragon claw of his left hand had already pierced deeply into his right eye socket, and blood gushed out of it. His right eye had also been dug out from the socket and held on the tip of the claw.

The edge of the dragon pupil had begun to burn with scarlet flames. It was the offering that Fafnir had made to the "Throne of Destruction" -

This time, an unprecedentedly surging and violent spiritual surge finally erupted from the body of the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir!
He used the power of [Shaping of Destruction] and finally succeeded after two failures. The surging light from the explosions launched against him by Ross, Quesanx, Stuart and Davild burned Fafnir's body like a real scarlet fire, and most of it was shaken away!

……

Luo Xiu kept an eye on the changes in Fafnir at all times.

In the panel, Fafnir's various attribute values ​​have now increased significantly, and he has gained a very high damage bonus and injury reduction.

At this moment, Fafnir is no longer under any control - even "authority". Unless it is something like the "Seal of Glory" that interrupts the authority before it is fully activated, almost all weakened Level I and Level II authorities have lost their effect on Fafnir now.

Although Fafnir's maximum health has been reduced to only over 700,000 due to repeated attempts to activate [Shape of Destruction], it is much more difficult to kill Fafnir now than Fafnir in normal state.

Luo Xiu was thinking these things as he looked at Fafnir, the "Dragon of Destruction" who had gone completely berserk and whose aura had expanded to its peak.

However, despite this, the situation was still within Luo Xiu's control.

When in the state of "Incarnation of Holy Wings", Luo Xiu's overall attributes are almost the same as Fafnir in the state of "Shaping of Destruction".

Moreover, the "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild and the "Sky Telling Knight" Stuart also have trump cards, and they are also waiting for the opportunity to act.

The moment Fafnir shook away all the light surges that were blasting towards him -

Luo Xiu only saw the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir, whose whole body was constantly emitting scarlet and black mist, and his only remaining left eye had turned completely crimson.

It was as if it was overflowing with blood, and a twisted, sharp blood cone quickly condensed on his left hand.

He showed no desire to attack, but just stared at Luo Xiu, Stuart, and Davild with his scarlet eye, as if he wanted to remember something.

This feeling made Luo Xiu feel uncomfortable, as if he was haunted by some deep malice.

however.

Next.

"The Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir clenched his left hand suddenly, and the sharp edge of the blood cone pierced deeply into his palm. The blood gushing out of the wound burned with flames and soaked into the blood cone. Then, as Fafnir raised his left hand, the blood cone pierced deeply into his heart and penetrated it!

——Puff!
The heavy piercing sound was so harsh that Luo Xiu's pupils shrank slightly. He really didn't expect Fafnir to do this -

suicide!

All signs indicate that Fafnir wants to "commit suicide"!
When the blood cone in his hand pierced into and pierced through his heart, his already surging and violent spiritual power suddenly became even more intense!
It was as if Fafnir had completely given up "controlling" his own power, causing them to begin to fiercely fight, destroy, and expand each other, eventually bursting his body and burying everything around him!
Buzz—the air became heavy and stagnant at the same time, and bursts of buzzing sounds like death knells occurred.

On the other two sides, "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild and "Sky Teller Knight" Stuart had expressions of shock and fear on their faces.

"He's crazy!"

Davild almost hoarsely shouted without caring about his image:

"Fafnir—there's something wrong with him!"

"He wants to drag us down with him!"

He screamed and warned Luo Xiu and Stuart, while at the same time he drove the Sky Ring, turned around and fled to the edge at his fastest speed.

The same is true for the "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart. He has also clearly felt that the spiritual power of the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir is showing signs of exceeding the threshold and eventually exploding.

The self-destruction of a sixth-level saint is far more terrifying than the power he can normally control. Stuart knows this very well, so he also rides on the giant dragon vulture and rushes to the edge.

……

Only Luo Xiu was left.

The only one within the explosion range of the spiritual self-destruction of "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir was Luo Xiu.

A flash of fear appeared on his face. It was a subconscious reaction. However, he still knew that even if the worst happened, he would not die.

Because of the immunity from death provided by the "Holy Wing Incarnation" status buff, as well as the damage immunity and shields provided by various specialties and the sacred domain, it is impossible for Fafnir to truly perish together with himself by self-destruction.

This was Luo Xiu's confidence, so he did not retreat or escape from here, but remained at a very close distance, staring closely at any move of Fafnir.

Even if Favr wants to die together with you, you can still get the reward for the kill by completing the final kill on him and then causing him to self-destruct.

However, this is a secondary goal. Reducing Fafnir's health as much as possible can reduce the power of his final annihilation range to a certain extent. Also, Luo Xiu is still very concerned about the "Original Demon" that has not appeared until now.

Even though that would be a lot of pain that I didn't want to endure.

For a short while, Luo Xiu was thinking about these things.

At the same time, he also replenished his own status and shield, and used spiritual conduction to tell the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx in the sky what he was going to do, asking Him to continue bombarding Fafnir with him.

During this period, Luo Xiu released almost all of his remaining power, and blasted Fafnir with "Ancient Dragon's Breath of Evil" and "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" no less than a dozen times.

That, together with the blood loss caused by Fafnir's self-destruction, quickly brought him to the brink of normal "death".

However, Fafnir showed no signs of actually being on the verge of death. Hundreds of deep and terrifying bloody wounds appeared on his body, and his body was rapidly expanding, twisting to the extreme, and soon reached a critical point.

And in the next moment——

boom! ! ! ! ! !

——BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Fafnir's body completely "collapsed" from the inside out.

A long-accumulated dark scarlet color like lava was released from it. This was the last moment Luo Xiu saw him.

The last "Ancient Dragon's Bite" did successfully reduce Fafnir's health to zero.

However, that also eventually opened the valve of destruction -

--boom!!!!!!
Scarlet, the scarlet everywhere was so rich that it was almost black.

The air soon became extremely hot, and Luo Xiu also felt the intense pain as if it was being torn apart.

Luo Xiu’s consciousness was almost about to pass out because of this.

And just before being shaken by the horrifying spiritual power and finally losing consciousness.

Luo Xiu had raised his right hand, and a bright golden light appeared on the back of his hand.

That is the last ray of [Glorious] authority.

That is the authority of the "Lightless Cage"!

……

The moment before the annihilation explosion caused by the "Self-Immolation" of "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir actually spreads.

"The cage without light" - it is like a deep black sun, hanging high in the sky.

The fierce fire that would have swept across half of the sky and even reduced a section of the river valley below to scorched earth was completely blocked.

Only within the space within it, the oscillating, twisted, and disordered spirituality rushed towards the surroundings like a torrent bursting through a dam, engulfing and destroying everything around it.

The horrific explosion lasted for several minutes.

The barrier that swallowed the light finally began to crack.

Until the "lightless cage" that was as black as the sun was finally broken by the terrifying bombardment, and the "Archbishop" who was deeply trapped in it - that is, Ross Carlos, fell straight down from it.

"--Roar!!!"

"The Dragon of Justice" Quesanx flew down from the sky, and with his dragon body that covered the sky and the sun, he finally caught Luo Xiu steadily.

"……Roar."

Then, the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx let out a soothing growl.

At the same time, He slowed down His flying speed, gradually bringing Luo Xiu down to the ground, to a safe place.

He was relieved.

His contractor, the "Archbishop" Ross Durant, Quesanx could feel that he was still alive.

Fortunately, I am still alive.

He just fell into a coma and lost consciousness.
