Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 555: On the bloody and sacred battlefield——

The extremely shining light burst out from the body of the "Devouring Dragon" Fafnir Ramshanks one after another!

The rich crimson holy light, with its extremely blazing annihilation spirit, continued to burn the Devouring Dragon's body. In the surging flames, He roared and howled, and His body was irreversibly spurting out thick and fishy blood.

[Glory] Level III Authority [Stigma of Purification] - The third level of the unfolded and engraved stigma "Stigma of Light·Strike" once again inflicted most of the damage that the Devouring Dragon had previously endured on Him!
"--roar!!!!!"

In the surging, furnace-like heat waves of light, the roar of the Devouring Dragon continued to pierce out.

Luo Xiu was still staring at Him, unwilling to miss any of His states.

Even though he couldn't see the real-time health of the "Devouring Dragon" Fafnir Ramshanks, Luo Xiu could clearly know that he must have suffered quite serious injuries.

Then six dark dragon wings spread out from behind Him, two of which were broken off at the root, revealing broken bones.

Judging from its appearance alone, the "Devouring Dragon" has suffered at least moderate injuries and is close to being seriously injured!

——Bang Bang Bang!!!
The dull sound of heavy metal and iron objects colliding with each other continued to be heard.

Those were the holy shackles that bound Him - the Devouring Dragon was still struggling, trying to break the shackles that bound Him, and hundreds of the holy shackles that were overflowing with golden light had already broken!

He is indeed about to be freed from bondage!

Luo Xiu knew that although the Level IV authority used by Franya, the triple manifestation of [Unforgiven Holy Manifestation] could bind him again, Franya would also need to perform holy prayers and spiritual maintenance again. At least now, the Devouring Dragon could break free from the restraints and move freely for a period of time.

Even if he were to regain his freedom for a moment, it would be extremely dangerous... Luo Xiu thought.

The Dragon Breath Scepter in his hand then pointed at Him. The bright light of the Holy Seal appeared on the back of his hand, and the tip of the scepter also burst into brilliant light.

All the prayers of authority that he had completed before were now directed to the Devouring Dragon!
——【Seal of Punishment】, 【Seal of Severing Vows】 and 【Serpent of Division】!
The first two Level I authorities of [Glory] have raised their skill levels to lv.5 through Luo Xiu's daily attempts to engrave the authority.

Even though its authority is only at level I, it can still have an effect on the "Devouring Dragon"!

"--roar!!!!!"

The moment two golden holy seals and a ball of dark grey light hit the Devouring Dragon, bright light suddenly burst out from its two gigantic dragon heads, and the darkness within them seemed to be sucked back into its gigantic and deep eye sockets.

One, two, and finally hundreds of cracks appeared and split on His two dragon heads. His blood flowed out uncontrollably and turned into spiritual energy that dissipated in steaming smoke.

……

All the [Glorious] saints surrounding the Devouring Dragon have realized that He has once again fallen into a brief period of stagnation!

"The Devouring Dragon", his power comes from the never-ending "devouring".

Therefore, a large part of his spirituality is of a different origin, and is suppressed by the Level I authority [Seal of Severing Vows];

And He and the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir are symbiotic.

Their souls and consciousness have not yet been completely integrated into one, and therefore they can also be targeted by the Level I authority of the Void, the Split Serpent.

--boom!!!!!

——BOOM! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!!!!

As soon as the saints realized that the Devouring Dragon was in an abnormal state, they all launched continuous and fierce attacks on Him.

This was especially true for the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine. Her entire body of Paladin armor was already burning with the most blazing flames, and the divinely forged holy sword in her hands was also emitting an extremely blazing red glow. She was already praying -

"Give me the sun of the sun—"

"Let them return to the purest state of nirvana under the shining light of the sun!"

--boom!!!!!!!

Just like a huge red sun falling into the sky, the deep red sunlight shot out straight, and in an instant, it pierced through the body of the "Devouring Dragon" from front to end!
That was the terrifying power that Monine unleashed when she used another [Glory] Level IV authority that she possessed - [The Blazing Sun of Nirvana]!
……

As Luo Xiu was looking at Monine and the "Devouring Dragon".

He had already seen that a huge hole had suddenly appeared in the middle of the body of the "Devouring Dragon".

It was dozens of meters in diameter, and its edges were covered with charred, melted flesh and blood.

As a result, His aura had fallen to the bottom, reaching freezing point—

"The Devouring Dragon", His current condition is already "seriously injured", or infinitely close to "seriously injured"!

However, it was also a moment after Monine completely poured damage to the "Devourer Dragon".

——Bang!!!
All the sacred shackles that imprisoned Him were finally broken after His final struggle!
hum...

Buzz! ! ! ! !
In Luo Xiu's physical sensation.

He heard an extremely harsh and noisy buzzing sound in his ears, and the temperature around him became as cold as falling into an ice cave.

One after another, deep dark spirituality emanated and diffused. Under Luo Xiu's gaze, the "Devouring Dragon" disappeared.

Only His profound spirituality remained, extending and radiating infinitely, seeming to envelop the entire space.

"you……"

All the saints of the Light heard the low, angry, distorted whispers.

"Unforgivable ants..."

"I will crush your flesh and devour your soul...eat you up bit by bit..."

"I want to savor your pain and turn it into my healing! I want you all...all of you to pay the price!"

"Devourer Dragon," His voice is becoming increasingly high-pitched and sharp.

It was filled with deep evil thoughts and hatred, as well as the frenzy and rage that brought one into an extremely dangerous situation.

Luo Xiu suddenly felt that right below where he was in the sky - the tens of thousands of abyss beasts and demons that had emerged from the "scars" were all looking up at the sky with their scarlet evil eyes.

The malicious gaze completely "enclosed" Luo Xiu, Monine, Franya, and Davild. Then, they burst into extremely sharp, overlapping hisses.

"Roar!!!!!"

“Eeeeeeeee!!!!!”

“—waaaaagh!!!!!”

The sound of the explosion was like a terrifying wave of dark flames, which made people tremble all over. As Luo Xiu watched, he saw that some of the abyss beasts and demons had scarlet flames bursting out on their outlines, and they were gradually turning into blood amid the sharp explosion.

The burning blood was already flowing in the cracked gullies of the plain, rapidly accumulating some inexplicable and profound spirituality, emitting spots of dark purple mixed with scarlet.

whoosh-

The first column of blood wrapped in scarlet burst out from the flowing scarlet!

--boom! ! !

The first one to rush in was the direction of the "Sky Ring Paladin" Davild. Davild raised his giant sword to block the scarlet blood, but smoke suddenly came out from the blade of the holy sword in his hand!

The erosion of the dark erosion and the blasphemous blood quickly left a mottled mark on Davild's holy sword. Then, the second, third, and even hundreds of gushing erosion blood shot out towards all the surrounding [Glorious] saints!
——BOOM! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!!!!

It was like a blood rain pouring from the ground to the sky - the "Devouring Dragon" was controlling them, and with their burning original spirituality and life, they launched a counterattack against all the [Glorious] saints!

laugh--

Even the left claw of Quesanx, the "Dragon of Justice" under Luo Xiu's seat, was burned with mottled erosion marks by the corrosive blood surge that burned the origin and life of a "superior demon". He and Luo Xiu quickly opened their shields to resist the erosion of the next dozen blood surges.

"……Roar."

"The Dragon of Justice" Quesanx roared in a low voice. And in Luo Xiu's mind, his voice came next -

[…That is the original power of Fafnir, the Devouring Dragon, Luo Xiu.]

[I have understood that all these abyssal beasts and demons that emerged from the ‘scars’ are under the control of the Devouring Dragon, and their souls and consciousness have long been devoured by Him.]

[He is the one who gives and takes... Luo Xiu. This is the power given to him by the 'authority' he once belonged to. Even though he has fallen into disaster and chaos now, he still retains that power, and even... has distorted that power.]

【…】

"..."

"I am aware of what you said, Quesanx."

Luo Xiu responded to Him, and then asked Him:
"How are you doing now, Quesanx?"

"I want to do something... If I succeed, maybe I can kill or at least seal the current Devouring Dragon."

Luo Xiu asked this to the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx.

In fact, according to his panel detection of Quesanx, He still has more than half of His health and mana remaining, which is considered healthy for a blood-burning dragon like Him - however, He has now lost some of his target, and his overly large body makes it an easy target for the current "Devouring Dragon" to focus fire.

"……Roar."

[…I’m still okay.]

[Before the Devouring Dragon appears, I will use my dragon breath to clear away the chaotic things that continue to emerge from the scars.]

He responded:

[So, do what you think you should do, Luo Xiu.]

【…】

Luo Xiu nodded slightly.

He no longer communicated with Quesanx. His eyes were already looking towards the center that was filled with profound energy, and then he prayed a prayer of summons.

He summoned the contracted "holy beast" Golden Pegasus, and then mounted its back. Pegasus spread his golden wings on both sides and flew towards the center of the abyss.

……

The face of the "Saint" Franya turned pale at the same time when the "Devourer Dragon" Fafnir Ramshanks broke the holy shackles that bound him.

She unfolded the Level IV authority [Holy Manifestation of Unforgiveness] that was connected to her spirituality. When the "Devourer Dragon" broke free from the holy shackles, it also shocked Franya.

She felt a surge of hot blood rushing up in her chest. Her [Glorious] spirituality also became disordered in an instant, and only stabilized itself again with the help of the several sacred domains she simultaneously deployed.

There was still some disbelief in her golden eyes - it was the first time that an enemy who had been subjected to the triple manifestation of [Unforgiven Holy Manifestation] broke free from the sacred restraints!

The red, seven-fold inverted sacred ring, when it lost its target, began to show signs of collapse on its outline.

Franya knew that she had to maintain the domain ring of [Unforgiven Holy Manifestation]—

Only in this way can the Devouring Dragon be truly imprisoned. Other fellow saints of [Glory] continue to launch fierce explosions against the Devouring Dragon, weakening its vitality to the point of near death.
Only after that will there be a chance for Archangel Azphiel to try to uncover His true name, or for Teacher Monine, the "Sword of the Most Holy", to use her Level V authority to truly and thoroughly seal the "Devouring Dragon"!

"..."

Franya was thinking about this.

And her burning golden gaze was fixed on the center of the darkness filled with black fog.

She once analyzed the blood and spirituality of the [Dead Dragon Cocoon] left behind by the "Devouring Dragon". Even though she could no longer capture specific traces of the "Devouring Dragon" from her gaze and spiritual vision, Franya could still sense through a faint resonance that the "Devouring Dragon" was in the direction of her gaze.

Then, she grasped the divinely-forged scepter [Holy Silver Grip] in her hand, and her fragile but sacred and inviolable body was already shrouded in a flawless glow.

“This is the eternal light… the destiny that never falls;”

"This is the eternal light... the blazing sun that never dies!"

Her lips slightly opened, and she began a new sacred prayer!
Every time she recited a sacred prayer, the glow on her body would become brighter. But at the same time, her face would become paler. She was already trying her best to summon the little spiritual energy she had left.

"Give me holiness, give me sublimity, give me divinity."

"I will rise from the darkness."

"All the power bestowed by God is in my hands—"

"I will carry out the divine condemnation and divine absolution!"

——Buzz!!!!!!!

When Franya once again completed the holy prayer of the "Third Manifestation", the signs of collapse on the seven-fold inverted circular outline of the [Manifestation of the Unforgiven] had also stopped!

The light on both ends of the holy axis began to shine again, and with the heavy sound of rotation, it gradually turned towards the deep and pervasive center!
……

"--roar!!!!!"

It is at the moment before the sacred circle of the Unforgiven Divine Manifestation is about to be "anchored" and "pierced" again.

From the deep center, erupted the explosive roar of the "Devouring Dragon"!
He seemed to sense the deadly danger again, or he had been harboring murderous intentions towards Franya for a long time.

Along with that huge roar, several streams of terrifying scarlet and deep chaotic light surged, whistling like tearing, and blasted towards Franya's position!

It was an attack no less than that of a Level IV authority. If it completely hit Franya and engulfed her, although Franya would not die under the blessing of three "God-cast" quality relics, she would at least be seriously injured on the spot!

Franya even felt that even though the light was like a scarlet tsunami sweeping towards her, there was only a buzzing in her ears and she could no longer hear any other sound.

It was as if she had faced death head-on, and even the pounding of her heart seemed so calm—but Fryanya still did not escape from where she was, and was still struggling to maintain and adjust the realm of [Manifestation of the Unforgiven]!

"Flan——"

Amid the buzzing sound that continued to echo in her ears, she seemed to hear the heart-wrenching cry from Teacher Monine—

The "Sword of the Most Holy" was already running towards him, but it was too late to catch up before the attack of the "Devourer Dragon" could really overwhelm him.

"..."

When Franya had made up her mind.

She closed her eyes, no longer feeling everything around her, and increasingly mobilized her own spirituality, allowing the Holy Axis of [Manifestation of the Unforgiven] to anchor and penetrate the "Devouring Dragon" before she lost consciousness.

--boom!!!!!

Until she finally heard a loud explosion.

But she only felt the burning sensation, without the tearing, annihilating pain.

"..."

Franya opened her eyes again.

She saw it - several scarlet waves of terror mixed with destruction and darkness, exploding heavily on the isolated, invisible curtain.

That period of time seemed to have stopped flowing, and in that isolating curtain was a figure that Franya was familiar with.

——That’s “Archbishop” Ross Carlos, his back!
