Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 93: The Spiritual Descendant

Anthony's expression revealed an unprecedented level of vigilance.

He held the warhammer tightly in his right hand, and continuously charged the "Holy Flame" with his left hand. The golden flame in his palm became brighter and purer.

Luo Xiu took out a bottle of mana potion, unscrewed the cap and took a gulp, then added the "consecration" buff to his teammates again.

Pamier wielded two greatswords, silently passed Anthony's position and stood at the front of the team.

"Everyone is ready..."

Anthony then gave the order in a deep voice:

"——break open this door for me."

……

On the other side of the door.

A chair woven from dried vines was placed in the center of the room.

An old man with a haggard face was sitting upright on a rattan chair.

The old man's upper body was almost completely wrapped in bandages, and deep red blood was constantly oozing out from underneath the bandages.

But this is not a wound caused by "trauma".

——This is the forbidden ritual of "Serving the Spirit with Blood"!

Right beneath those “wounds”, the blood that was flowing out did not flow downwards, but was transported into the air in invisible threads.

At the end of those "silk threads" are countless wandering spirits like "ghost lights". They are greedily sucking the blood from the old man's body, just like the needle beaks of mosquitoes and flies, robbing the old man of his "vitality".

"Eat...eat...children."

The old man opened his mouth slightly and uttered a kind murmur: "The delicious food is right in front of you..."

"...My Lord."

Next to the old man, a middle-aged man with long black hair bowed slightly to the old man and said, "Those uninvited guests are approaching."

"The Cursebringer Slothep and Helton have both been martyred. You..."

"I'll stay here."

The old man who was called 'the Lord of Favors' had a peaceful smile on his face.

"Alonso, you have followed me for thirteen years. You know that the 'Mother Goddess' always favors me and allows me to turn danger into safety in various life-threatening situations."

"But..." Alonso shook his head, "The enemy this time is different. Those 'sacrifices' have come to our door. They may have discovered what happened to Rodif."

"Lodifu..." The spirit-descending follower suddenly smiled.

"Alonso, you have to understand. Rodif is just a temporary stop in our pursuit of the Origin. He is not our real compatriot."

"So, don't pay too much attention to him or have too high expectations."

"Now, what you should do is to protect me so that I can get through this final time of 'serving the spirit with blood' as soon as possible."

"...I understand, sir."

Alonso bowed and stepped back, and the slender staff in his right hand drew a smooth arc in the air.

Just above the path of the "arc", countless tiny sparks emerged in the air. They hovered in the air and merged with each other to form larger and hotter flames.

...at a certain moment.

--boom! ! !

The only door was violently broken open, and Alonso saw five figures of [Glory] believers outside the door.

His expression froze, and he pointed the slender staff in his hand forward. Countless huge fireballs that had merged together flew forward in the direction of the staff!

……

Pamier leaned on his greatsword and once again built a golden wall in front of him.

——Boom boom boom boom! Countless huge fireballs, with unstoppable force, slammed into the golden wall.

This time, although the attack was carried out by only one enemy, it was more powerful than the previous attack by the "Spellcasters" and "Holy Servants" together!
At the same time, in the semi-open room, the "wandering spirits" floating in the air, like jackals smelling blood and flesh, rushed towards Pamier's position at the same time!

Anthony's eyes became serious. The moment he broke open the door, he had already keenly noticed that something was wrong with those "wandering spirits".

He then quickly passed Pamier, took on the continuous fireballs created by Alonso, and threw the "Holy Flame" in his hand at those "wandering spirits".

——Boom! The golden flames dissipated and collided with the crimson flames. Pamier suddenly felt that the pressure of maintaining the shield wall was suddenly reduced a lot.

Seeing that the attack of the "elemental mage" Alonso on the opposite side was offset by Anthony, Pamier also removed the wall of "Holy Light Protection", swung his greatsword and rushed deep into the depths.

Connor and another Holy Light priest from the Red Maple City Church, Colen, also rushed into the room following Pamier.

Colen gathered the spear of light in his left hand, and drew out a light spike from his waist with his right hand. The hammer in Connor's right hand beside him flashed with golden patterns, and they attacked the old man in the middle of the room at the same time.

At this moment, anyone could see that this old man was the strongest person in the [Lost] world, the "Spirit Descender" Staro with three destinies!

Colen's spear of light reached Starro's body earlier than Connor's hammer, and was about to pierce through the body of Starro, the "Spirit Adventist".

However, in the next moment, with Staro as the origin, a terrifying spiritual surge began to spread rapidly around, shaking Colen's spear of light before disappearing without a trace!

"Necromancy!" Anthony shouted to Connor and the other man in front of him, "Get away quickly! You don't—"

But he hadn't finished his words, or rather, Colen and Connor hadn't finished listening to Anthony's words before they were swept up in the violent spiritual tide.

Luo Xiu then drew out the "White Oak Staff", quickly completed the chanting of "Group Healing", and stretched the staff in the direction of Colen and Connor, locking the target of delayed treatment.

The next moment, countless scarlet blood flowers suddenly exploded on the bodies of Colen and Connor. Blood spurted out from the wounds caused by the implosion, and the vitality of the two was quickly reduced.

The "group healing" light ball was also accurately applied to the two people before they were about to enter the "seriously injured" state.

Blood no longer gushed out of their wounds, and the wounds continued to heal under the effect of "healing".

After Connor and Colen regained their freedom of movement, they quickly retreated away from the "Spirit Adventist", with expressions of lingering fear on their faces.

Anthony was fighting with countless "wandering spirits" that were attracted by the scent, while at the same time distracting himself and observing the battle situation on the front lines between Connor and Colen.

After judging that they had temporarily retreated to a safe position, Anthony shouted a warning:
"Starro, the 'Spirit Blesser', not only has the ability to make 'wandering spirits' descend upon him, he also has the means to make 'wandering spirits' descend upon other people!"

"Open your senses and pay attention to the hidden—"

Connor still couldn't hear the whole sentence Anthony shouted.

He and Colen were once again possessed by the spirit of Starro, the "Spirit Adventer".

Connor and Colen once again inexplicably felt that something was trying to get into their bodies, just like before.

They were completely unable to resist and could only try to slow down the speed at which the "spirit" came to them. It seemed that this inexplicable "invader" was truly omnipresent.
