Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 532 [God's Unforgiveness] and [Dark Holy Light]

After Luo Xiu finished his conversation with "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild.

Davild then arranged for two other "Shining Knights" - Elias and Pasiot, to go to Fafnir City to investigate whether there was also the "Demon Cocoon" of the Ancestral Demon under the city.

Several high-ranking figures from the [Supreme] - "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart, Lord Gawain, Lansas, and "Clerk General" Lucien all came over soon after. They also heard the huge noise before, and rushed to the restricted area of ​​"Scar" to check the situation.

Albert, who had been at the scene, explained the situation to them.

Luo Xiu also showed up and exchanged greetings with them, only telling them that he had conducted a routine investigation on the "scars" and discovered some "not too big or too small" troubles, but the priests of [Glory] were able to solve them.

Similar situations actually happened several times during the entire expedition. Lord Gawain and Stuart did not ask any more questions. Luo Xiu then said goodbye to them and returned to the direction of Rochester Manor.

……

The next day.

The outer station of the [Advent Legion] in the Val Fortress.

Since the expeditionary force captured the Val Fortress, the players of the [Advent Legion] were arranged to camp outside the fortress.

The front and back of the entire fortress are completely guarded by the players of the [Legion of Adventers], forming a solid barrier like an iron barrel. This is the most solid defense force for the Val Fortress that was built in a short time.

But Thomas actually knew - the main reason for arranging them [The Advent Legion] to be stationed outside the fortress was that the interior of the Val Fortress could not accommodate so many expeditionary forces.

In the previous siege battles, whether it was the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx or the terrifying tide of abyss beasts pouring into the Val Fortress, they caused irreparable damage to the Val Fortress.

Thomas learned through the network he had established with other clergy that the expeditionary force was planning to completely abandon the Val Fortress.

Perhaps a new fortress will be built elsewhere in the Vaal Rift Valley to serve as a barrier and a gateway connecting the two ends. But that will be a matter for the future. The Vaal Fortress will be abandoned. This is a unanimous decision made by the expeditionary forces.

The main force of the expeditionary army is only temporarily stationed here. Two days later, when the main force goes to the Dark Metropolis, the puppet group specializing in construction of the "Tower of Sages" will completely raze the Val Fortress to the ground.

This is the news Thomas received.

However, although Thomas felt it was a pity, he didn't care about it - he didn't have a property here anyway. No matter what, even if the Val Fortress was razed to the ground, it would not affect him.

It seems that this place will be used as some kind of testing ground in the future - because of those "scars".

From the mouth of the throne knights Thomas knew, it seemed that the "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild had reached some kind of agreement with Lord Gawain and Stuart on behalf of the Holy See. After the end of the Judgment War, the jurisdiction and disposal rights of the Val Fortress and the "Scars" within it would be handed over to the Holy See.

At that time, the Holy See will arrange for clergy to conduct regular purges and in-depth research on the "deep beasts" and "demons" under the scars.

This is actually more beneficial to "Saint Guardians" like Thomas -

Because this means that they, the "Saint Guardians", can receive more commissions from the several major sanctuaries of the church. If nothing unexpected happens, they, the "Saint Guardians", will also serve as the main force for dangerous tasks such as crusades and purges, and the Holy See will also allocate more resources to them.

Thomas is looking forward to it.

In addition, at this critical time point when the Val Fortress was just captured, Thomas, who was stationed outside the city, was able to receive far more commissions for pursuit, guarding, exploration and reconnaissance than usual from the clergy at the church station.

Thomas had been very busy in the two days since he occupied the Val Fortress, and he had received a particularly generous reward for it.

Thomas now has the triple destiny of [Glory] and has upgraded his profession "Purifier" to the maximum level lv.30.

Not only that, he has also upgraded all of his upgradeable skills and abilities to the maximum level.

He now has more than 100,000 experience points in his experience slot, but Thomas's number of deaths is obviously much higher than other players. Due to the "death penalty", he always finds it difficult to accumulate a high amount of experience points.

Therefore, Thomas would often use up the experience points he gained right on the spot.

A new item called "Blank Scroll" has been launched in the "Holy Abyss Mall". Now Thomas, who uses most of his experience, creates his own skills with the "Blank Scroll".

Even though the success rate of Thomas's self-created skills is still quite touching, he can indeed create a lot of skills that are useful to the [Glory] destiny, and many of them are difficult to collect through normal means. Thomas has been quite obsessed with this recently.

"…a little train."

At the Guardian's Station of the Mirror of Glow, Thomas was looking at the "blank scroll" in front of him, thinking about how to arrange and combine skills to create his own skills, when Alicia's voice came from beside him -

Thomas turned to look.

Seeing the three-nothing girl holding a staff taller than her, looking at him with a look of expectation and contempt——

"What the hell have you come up with, little train?"

Alicia asked Thomas half-jokingly.

She still remembers.

Just the day before, Thomas created his own skill [Dark Holy Light]——

It is a sacred art that can inflict the "Darkness" mark on the target, rendering the buff effect of the sacred art [Glory] completely ineffective.

And every time you receive a buff from the [Glory] holy spell, your health will instantly explode according to your upper limit and the mana consumed by the corresponding [Glory] holy spell.

Alicia's eyes lit up when she saw this skill, because when she settled the task [Embark on the Sacred Journey] a few days ago, she obtained a "legendary" quality expertise -

[The Unforgiveness of God's Proclamation (Legend): The Great Sun has declared in a moment that he is an unforgiveable sinner, and he will either be forgiven by the glory or be judged by the scorching sun! ]

[Your "divinity" attribute increases by 36 points, "wisdom" attribute increases by 24 points, and "perception" attribute increases by 24 points. Your "mana" value increases by an additional 20%. ]

[The auxiliary skill [Glory] cast by you adds the "Unforgiven Light" effect to it - all the buff states received by the target designated by this [Glory] skill are regarded as the buff states of [Glory] destiny, and the buff effect is increased by an additional 50%.

At the same time, for each additional layer of "Unforgiven Light" state, the "Holy Light" attribute damage received by the corresponding target increases by 10%, with a maximum of 50%. (There can be only one target affected by the "Unforgiven Light" effect at the same time)]

【…】

Alicia originally thought that this was a useless... or rather, a "legendary" quality specialty that was not very useful -

Although the additional enhancement effect is good, there is still a debuff of 10%~50% "Holy Light" attribute vulnerability.

She is not a poisonous healer after all - but if it is combined with Thomas's new item [Dark Holy Light], the nature will be different!

Then it will become - after releasing the auxiliary holy art of [Glorious] on the enemy target, whether Alicia releases the holy art of [Glorious] on it or the target is buffed by other destiny, it will be converted into the buff of [Glorious] holy art and then return to zero.
At the same time, every time you obtain an additional [Glory] buff, your health will explode once, and 10% of the "Holy Light" attribute vulnerability will be added!
This makes the specialty [Unforgiveness of God's Word] go from being a phantom god in civil war to a true super cup of offense and defense - even Alicia can use it to let the enemy hang "Unforgiveness of Light" first, and then she can normally assist teammates, so that teammates will not suffer from the dubeff that makes them vulnerable to the "Holy Light" attribute.

Thomas felt a little upset when he first made [Dark Holy Light].

Because the skill effect of [Dark Holy Light] is actually not suitable for him.

But when Alicia saw this skill for the first time, she snatched it from Thomas. As it turned out, it was just as Alicia predicted.

As a nurse, she no longer needs Thomas, Crocodile and other front-line teammates to take the damage. Just by relying on the cooperation between [Dark Holy Light] and [Unforgiveness of God's Word], she can directly control the enemies with triple destinies throughout the whole process until they are completely killed.

This real increase in strength, especially the increase in strength that broke through the barriers of auxiliary professions, made Alicia feel as if she had awakened something strange. She was now very much looking forward to what other strange things Thomas could come up with.

"...Nothing."

Thomas shook his head.

The skill scroll of [Dark Holy Light] that had just been made the day before was still warm when it was instantly snatched away by Alicia.

Now Alicia was standing by and looking at him with a very strange and expectant look, which always made Thomas feel a little uneasy.

However, despite this, Thomas's face remained focused, holding the ritual seal knife that had been "engraved with glory" in his hand, while steadily infusing the spirituality of "glory" into it.

Thomas suddenly had an idea and figured out what combination of skills to use. He then started to carve the blank scroll in front of him with the seal knife in his hand.

Alicia looked on with anticipation as the patterns on the surface of the blank scroll in front of Thomas began to change.

Until the spiritual patterns on it suddenly became disordered and exploded, and the temperature began to rise abnormally -

The expressions on Thomas and Alicia's faces suddenly changed.

Almost as a subconscious reaction, they all ran out of the camp at the same time.

next moment.

--boom!!!!!

Until the golden light on the scroll reached its peak, the spirituality that was constantly flowing, changing, and rising in it had reached a level that the blank scroll could not bear, and suddenly an extremely violent explosion broke out!

The spirit that was already filled with the aura of annihilation tore the blank scroll into pieces in an instant, and then scattered the fragments of the scroll like a rain of fire, which spread into the air and fell down burning.

The whole camp erupted in a strong shock at the same time. Thomas and Alicia, who had already run to the edge of the camp, saw at the same time that at the place where Thomas had engraved the scroll before, a charred, deep hole had been left on the ground.

The skill creation failed.

The power of the explosive scroll is not small...

"……puff."

Alicia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You have to think about it, little engine." She then looked at Thomas and said:

"When Tieguodun and Huangdou come online, how should we tell them that the campsite has been blown up..."

"..."

"The camp is still there, still there!"

Thomas said stubbornly, glancing at the iron pot that was blown away and hung on the top of the tent.

That was the iron pot for "stewing crocodile in iron pot", which was originally hung over the campfire and could be used to stew some animal meat while camping.

"……puff."

This time, it was Thomas who couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

Alicia actually didn't understand what Thomas's joke was about this time. She just looked at him with some confusion.

While Thomas couldn't help laughing, he was still thinking whether he should go offline first to send a message to Dagua, Huangdou and others, and by the way, think about whether he should compensate Dagua for the iron pot.

That's just two copper coins.

And when Thomas thought about this.

At the same time, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder gently.

He turned his head suddenly and saw a paladin dressed in heavy silver armor appearing behind him.

The heavy armor of the Paladin was covered with intricate golden holy patterns, and its outline was faintly emitting a light golden glow, giving people the feeling that it was a walking human-shaped sun.

——A "Shining Knight"... No, it's a "Sun Knight"!
When Thomas saw the high-level paladin behind him for the first time, he recognized him as a "Sun Knight" with the sixth level of [Glory] destiny!
He was a "Sun Knight" of the same level as "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild... Moreover, the spiritual aura emanating from him was even hotter and more intense than that of Davild!
"I ask you."

As Thomas' thoughts raced through his mind, he heard a low, inquiring voice from beneath the Sun Knight's visor in front of him.

"This is the 'Val Fortress'. Is that right?"

……

Vaal Fortress.

Rochester Manor, in the room where the "Archbishop" is recuperating, on the bed.

Luo Xiu closed the panel at the same time and sat up from the bed.

A few minutes ago, the "Guardians" of the Val Fortress had already blown up the [Player Forum] and [Chat Channel].

All the players seemed to start discussing the hottest topic at the same time -

The "Saint" of the Holy Court, Franya, has arrived at the Val Fortress!

The first person to announce this news in the [Chat Channel] was Thomas, the honorary president of the "Mirror of Glow" Guild.

He encountered the Sun Knight under the command of the "Saint" Frenya, the 'Sunfire Paladin' Prender, who was the Saint's personal guard paladin.

The "Saint" Franya had also arrived at the valley in front of the Val Fortress.

On Luo Xiu's side, there was a rather hurried knock on the door of his room.

It goes without saying that it was the "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild. He had also received the news of the Saint's arrival and came to find me to prepare for the meeting.

"It's time to go meet that saint..."

Luo Xiu murmured as he stood up from the bed, casually took off the holy robe from the clothes support, and put it on.

Then, he walked out of the room.
