Chapter 329 The End of the Codex
After "Glory Knight" Krul left with Adele and Evans, Luo Xiu followed Krul's words and went to the "Condemnation Bishop" Raymond's location.
That was located at the entrance of the original "Black Crystal Factory", where Raymond and the other two Radiant Knights suppressed Babylon at the beginning.
The entire factory was destroyed by the huge explosion, but the entrance was not seriously affected due to the long narrow corridor and cast door blocking it. Luo Xiu found his way up from the ruins, and he soon saw the figure belonging to the "Judgment Bishop" Raymond.
It was a middle-aged bishop with an unshaven beard. He was standing in the open space in front of the entrance. In front of him was a "giant cocoon" that was like a golden thread.
——[Holy Binding], it is a sacred technique mastered exclusively by the "Condemnation Bishop", and it is a superior variant of the "Evil Prison Temple".
In that "giant cocoon" is the "Hidden Elder" Babelun... Luo Xiu has felt the surging spiritual surge from it, but his breath is dying due to suppression. So he walked towards Raymond's position.
Aware that someone was approaching, Raymond turned his head and looked over.
When he saw clearly that it was the new bishop of Red Maple City, "Rossiu Carlos", a look of surprise appeared on his face accordingly.
“It’s me, Bishop Raymond.” Luo Xiu smiled at him, looked at the “giant cocoon” beside him and asked, “Is Babylon in it?”
< br>
"Yes." Raymond nodded.
"Where are Olivia and Krul?"
"They escorted Bishop Richchester, Columbator and Evans back to the main church first."< br>
Luo Xiu replied to Raymond, "Rachester, Granbaatar and the others , were all seriously injured and had to go back as soon as possible. But I was in good condition, so Mr. Krul asked me to come to you and escort Bablon back with you."
"This way. ." Raymond nodded, "I understand."
"'Hidden Elder' Babelun, did he show any abnormality?"
"Abnormal..." Raymond looked thoughtful, and replied after a while, "There is nothing special about it. It's just that. Babylon didn't resist much throughout the whole process. He only summoned the 'Sky Giant' to resist the attack. After we destroyed the golem, Babylon even withdrew. He broke his shield and seemed to hope that we would kill him..."
"But of course we didn't do that - as you said before, because there is a 'Dragon Hunter-Loss' The case exists. If it is not necessary, we will try our best to capture Babelan alive instead of killing him."
"That's good." Luo Xiu nodded.
He didn't specifically tell Raymond and the others that they wanted to capture Babylon alive. He just asked them to act according to the opportunity. Now is the best result.
According to what Raymond said, the "Hidden Elder" Babelun has indeed mastered the same forbidden technology as Lockland - a forbidden technology belonging to [Black Devouring Life Core].
It's just a coincidence that Lockland can be resurrected by the golem, and Babron may have done it intentionally... But no matter what, as long as his body cannot die, he cannot resurrect himself.
Then, Luo Xiu showed the back of his hand toward the "giant cocoon" that restrained Babelun, and faint light patterns of the Holy Seal floated on it.
——[Lightless Cage]!
The dark curtain quickly enveloped the surroundings, cutting off any possibility of Bablon's escape. Luo Xiu then looked at Raymond and said:
"Temporarily lift the [Sacred Binding]. We must first confirm his condition before we can escort him."
Looking at the darkness surrounding him, a surprised look appeared on Raymond's face again.
But the surprise did not last long. Raymond nodded. He also raised his arm and turned his palm up, and a bright light gathered in his palm.
In front of Luo Xiu and Raymond, the golden threads on the surface of the "giant cocoon" that imprisoned Babel began to fade and peel off, gradually revealing the figure of the person imprisoned inside. ——
That is an old, thin human form, and it is indeed the "Hidden Elder" Babron!
——Wow!
Suddenly, inside the giant cocoon that was half untied, Babylon began to struggle violently.
The imprisoned Babylon was only physically restrained, but his spirit remained awake. He finally found an opportunity - Raymond unexpectedly unlocked the [Sacred Binding], which gave Babylon Room to operate!
As soon as he was freed from the restraints, Barberon saw Bishop Raymond for the first time. The other two "Glory Knights" seemed not to be there, and there seemed to be someone else standing next to Raymond. Barberon No time to see clearly.
He rushed out directly in the opposite direction of Raymond!
——Boom!
Then, he hit hard against something dark and extremely hard——
Baberun raised his head in confusion and saw a large black curtain in front of him that swallowed up the light. , froze in place for two seconds.
Then, alarm bells rang in his heart, and the pressure from behind suddenly surged!
Baberun turned around suddenly, only to find that the man he had not seen clearly before had rushed towards him, and a bright light emitted from his right surgical staff at the same time!
A light gun emitting bright gold penetrated from the soles of Babelun's feet at the same time, and penetrated Babelun from his back to his chest!
——[Evil Prison Temple]!
In order to block Babelun's actions, Luo Xiu retracted his magic staff and raised his fist——
Under Babelun's unavoidable gaze, Luo Xiu's first punch had already arrived, and it went straight to Babelun's face!
——Boom! ! !
——"Mercy Punch"!
The huge impact hit Bablon's face, and a large swell suddenly appeared in the middle of his nose, and blood spurted out from his nostrils and mouth instantly.
Baberun's head was buzzing, and he seemed to be hearing some overlapping voices in his ears, and he could really see clearly who the person who suddenly attacked him was...
——Roseux Carlos! That is the Bishop of Red Maple City Church, Luo Xiu Carlos!
Baberun was shocked inside, but the swelling and injuries on his face were no longer enough to make him show a corresponding expression.
That Luo Xiu Carlos, how could he appear here!
Before I had time to think about it, Luo Xiu’s second punch had arrived again!
——Boom! ! !
This punch was still a direct blow to the face. Barberon never expected that his old face could make a sound like a drum.
This is the gold content of 5000+ physical attack!
Barberon's nose bone was completely broken, and his jaw seemed to be dislocated. Even if he wanted to say something or shout something, he could not make any clear sound except "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [[s]".
Immediately afterwards, he received the third and fourth punches from Luo Xiu...
By the time the ninth punch was finished, Babelun's face was already bloody and bloody, and he was not tall at all. His blood volume was also reduced to the bottom, and he completely lost consciousness.
During panel detection, "Hidden Elder" Babelun was completely in a state of near-death.
If it were just to capture him alive, this trick taught by Priest Leonard would be really useful... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and then he turned back and glanced at Bishop Raymond with a calm expression.
Raymond: "..."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Luo Xiu felt that Bishop Raymond was petrified, and he stared at him in a daze.
"..." He just...beat a "hidden elder" alive until he was on the verge of death?
...Is he really a "bishop"?
Thinking about this, Raymond heard Luo Xiu say to him:
"I want to search him, Bishop Raymond. We should make sure that when we escort him back to the main church, he poses no threat."
"Please also prepare a new Use the Holy Technique of Confinement. After I search him, you can control him again."
"Okay." Raymond nodded heavily.
Then, Luo Xiu squatted down and stretched out his hand towards Babelun, who was already exhausted on the ground.
He first opened Babelun's fingers, took off all six storage rings on them, and quickly retrieved the contents inside with the panel.
They were mostly materials and the magic crystal pendant of the devil, but the quality was not high, at most it was only "crazy".
Luo Xiu then put them all aside, and then put his hand into Babelun's broken robe and groped around.
Soon, Luo Xiu touched something like a note in the inner pocket of Bablon's right chest.
His face remained calm as he slowly took out the book.
It was indeed a notebook, carefully wrapped in white strips of cloth. Luo Xiu then unwrapped the wrapping strips one by one.
Then he saw the cover of the notebook clearly.
——"Said's Notes"!
After holding the handbook for about five seconds, Luo Xiu's panel suddenly jumped.
[Completed the chain mission: The Dirty Wail (Nightmare Difficulty)]
[You finally retrieved "Said's Notes", bringing an end to this long forbidden journey. ]
[The task is being settled...]
[Get the basic completion reward: basic experience +23000, free attribute points +10]
[Get the additional completion reward: basic Experience +56000, free attribute points +30]
[Final reward for chain missions: limited epic feat "Shadow of Destruction"*1]!
[The Shadow of Destruction (Epic, Limited): You have seen through the overlapping shadows, and the fire of the forbidden curse has finally turned into cold embers. 】
【Your "wisdom" attribute is increased by 24 points, and your "perception" attribute is increased by 18 points. Your "Spell Attack" attribute increases the "Wisdom" attribute value by an additional 2 points.
The attacks you perform will have a mandatory "peeling off" effect - every 10 attacks you make, you will "peel off" a common buff status from the attacked target. If there is no "stripped" buff status, the target will be randomly given the "vulnerable" or "weak" debuff status, which will increase the damage received by the target by 10%, or reduce the target's physical and magic attack power by 10%. It can be triggered every 0.5 seconds, lasts for 5 seconds, and can be stacked up to 5 times. 】
[…]
When the task completion item popped up on the panel, Luo Xiu gave the settlement instructions.
This task has been postponed until now in order to ensure that "Saed's Codex" can only be passed on to the hands of Koros and Babelun, without being discovered by detection methods such as divination.
And now, after officially "recovering" the Codex from Babron, a series of serial tasks related to the Codex have finally been completed.
The final link reward is a "limited" epic feat. The improvement it gives is also considerable, mainly because of the additional abilities. Among a series of "epic" quality feats, it is also quite rare. One.
It can forcibly remove the target's "gain" status and apply "vulnerable" and "weak" status debuffs to the target. This is of great help to Luo Xiu in long-term battles, and facing that kind of , when relying on stacking a bunch of buffs to increase the temporary combat power of enemies, this specialty can also form an absolute restraint on them!
Huh... Luo Xiu suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally. He then placed "Said's Notes" on the pile of magic doll pendants and stood up slowly.
In his panel, the kill rewards for the other two "Hidden Elders" Aelius and Gattuso have not been settled, but Luo Xiu is not in a hurry - he is going to wait until he has some time to be alone, and then he will be pious. "Sacrifice" to resolve them.
During the entire search of Babylon, Raymond was watching Luo Xiu from the sidelines.
He just watched Luo Xiu carefully caressing and examining the "trophies" found from Bablon one by one. He just regarded it as a normal inspection process and didn't think too much about it.
When Luo Xiu stood up, took a step back, turned to look at Raymond, and signaled him with his eyes, Raymond nodded.
Later, Raymond took out the scepter, pointed the tip of the scepter in the direction of Babylon on the ground, and prayed:
"——I swear as a 'criminal' to imprison this person in the holy shackles!"
Bang! Barberon's neck, wrists and ankles soon formed golden chains with flowing golden light, tightly binding him in place.
Then, three more rings of shackles slowly rotated in the air, eventually forming three perfect rings, locking Babylon tightly.
After the shackles were locked on the neck, wrists and ankles, as well as the chest, waist and abdomen, pale golden chains extended from the surface of these shackles, just like a cage net. Babel is completely bound up in it.
Through the perspective of "spiritual vision", Luo Xiu has felt that the spirituality belonging to "Hidden Elder" Babelun has been completely suppressed, and he can no longer mobilize even the slightest bit of spirituality in it. Even if Babelun wakes up at this moment, he can only blow his beard and stare, but cannot break free of Raymond's shackles.
Luo Xiu then leaned over and picked him up. With a wave of his left hand, he removed the barrier of the "Lightless Cage" and returned with Raymond to the direction of the main church.
......
When Luo Xiu and Raymond returned to Songyuan City, the "Holy Judges" of the General Church stationed near the black crystal factory then took over the ruins of the factory and started Clean up this messy battlefield.
They quickly recovered all the materials, weapons and equipment that could be recovered, and for those scrolls that recorded forbidden knowledge, or the creations that were taboo in themselves, the Holy Inquisitors concentrated on melting them down.
They then specially processed the corpses of the "Hidden Elders" Aelius and Gattuso, using special means to erode and burn them on the spot without leaving any further consequences.
As for the dwarves of the "Gravel" tribe and a very small number of surviving "slave workers", they were also pulled out of the ruins by the Holy Judges who arrived later and "escorted" them back to the headquarters in waves. The church is temporarily imprisoned in the prison of the main church.
After completing all the aftermath work, the "Black Crystal Factory" was finally burned to the ground -
...
until dawn came.
When the first carriage finally passed by on the nearby road leading to the city, all the people passing by saw was a deep pit filled with ashes——
No one knows what happened in that deep pit.
There is only scorched earth left there - the "Black Crystal Factory" has completely erased its traces, as if it had never existed.
Never.
