Chapter 363 Huh? Dead?


Chapter 363...Huh? Dead?

The main street of Hongmaple City, within the deep alley of No. 36.

In a certain stronghold belonging to the "Primitive Sect", "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond is standing with his hands behind his back. In front of him are more than twenty corpses pierced by red-hot iron drill——

Among them, the vast majority are extraordinary beings with third or fourth level of destiny, and there are also a few corpses of "second-level destiny" extraordinary beings mixed in.

Most of them are extraordinary people with the fate of [Ku Tu] and [Red Lotus]. There are also a few corpses of [Glorious] priests and [Intellectual] scholars mixed in, which Drummond has already prepared. The "cursed substitute"——

"Bishop of Flame" Drummond's source of power is [Lost] destiny. The power of this destiny mostly comes from the divine gift from the Pillar God "Primary Mother" - and sometimes the divine gift is also a curse.

Just like Drummond.

His face was covered with erosion scars caused by the flames. In fact, it wasn't just his face - his body wrapped in a dark red cloak and heavy bandages was also full of such scars. That was the "ring flame" he was given. The curse that power must bear and the price that must be paid at the same time.

Although he is also full of piety and longing for the "Original Mother", the curse given by her also makes Drummond often miserable.

In order to alleviate the pain of such ring flames, Drummond also found his method——

It is a "ritual" - a ritual passed down from generation to generation.

What the ceremony requires are extraordinary people from different fates, and the higher the rank, the better.

It's like firewood - burning his own firewood instead of "Ring of Flame Bishop" Drummond.

And now, "Bishop of Flame" Drummond is about to hold his "third curse ceremony"——

"...Your Majesty the Bishop."

Just behind Drummond, a low and respectful voice came:

"Already ready. Chelfrid, he is willing to be 'martyrdom'."

"He finally agreed?"

Drummond turned his head and looked at a believer in a black linen cloak who was holding a candle behind him. His ferocious face trembled and he said:

"Very well, very well... Chelfrid, the Mother Goddess will remember his name."

After he said this, he turned back and looked at the corpses of extraordinary beings in front of him that were pierced with iron rods.

At the same time, he raised his arms flatly, folded his fists in front of his chest, and started "praying" with a slight nod and eyes:

"——I bear the thorn to atone for my sins..."

"——The burning, the thirsty, the red shackles."

"——I pray it burns."

"——I pray it breaks!"

After Drummond finished praying four sentences, he released both fists he held and spread them to both sides, returning to an embrace-like posture——

At the same time, the corpses of extraordinary beings in front of him, pierced by iron rods, began to burn from the edges. From the blood-stained clothes to the flesh, the air was filled with the smell of meat oil.

Drummond's body also burned with the "corpse" in front of him. He frowned slightly and felt the pain on his skin.

And in his ears, he could hear the light footsteps of his followers walking towards this ritual place.

Mixed in among them were some panicked footsteps - those should be the footsteps of "Voluntary Martyr" Chelfryd. He should be afraid, Drummond thought.

After all, we are facing death...

And Chelfrid is the last step to complete this ceremony.

Drummond waited, and the flames that burned him had burned into his skin. Drummond felt more and more pain, but he held on without making a sound, while the believers and "Chelfrid" "The footsteps are getting closer and closer.

……

Until those footsteps disappeared at the same time.

Drummond turned back, wanting to see the "martyr" and give him a death hug - that was both comfort and a necessary step in the ceremony.

But the moment he turned back, Drummond's eyes suddenly widened——

He did not see "Chelfrid"!

What he saw was the black-robed believer from before, and the dozens of church clergy who were holding him up!

——Priests of the Church!

How did they find this place!

Huge doubts have emerged from Drummond's heart.

What's even more terrifying is that although Drummond's own perception was greatly disturbed and weakened during the ceremony, he still failed to sense the breath of these priests, just like them It suddenly appeared here!

This gradually gave Drummond a bad premonition.

His gaze fell forward, finally locking on the person in the middle.

The surge of spirituality was so extraordinary that even Drummond felt an inexplicable sense of fear...

Until the corners of the "Priest's" mouth raised slightly, he raised his hands at the same time, lifted his pure white hood, and revealed his true face——

"Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and veins popped up on his forehead.

——That’s the “bishop” of the Red Maple City Church! Rossio Carlos!

——He actually came in person!

……

It is among the clergy of the church.

The black-robed believer who was supposed to be looking for "Chelfrid" and bringing him back was captured by the priests on the way there.

At this moment, he seemed to be shaking all over, fearful - intensely fearful of something.

"Lord...Mr. Bishop..."

The voice under the black robe trembled and made intermittent sounds:

"They...the church...they..."

--boom! ! !

"Priest of the Holy Inquisition" and "Patriarch of Purification" Howard, the long-handled war hammer in his hand has been raised high and smashed towards the head of the black-robed believer!

A huge sound suddenly came, and golden light flew up accompanied by blood. The black-robed believer was crushed like a pancake, his chin was smashed into the ground, and his skull was smashed into pieces.

He died on the spot, without even having time to let out a miserable howl - a cursed flame mage who [lost] the third level of destiny, was smashed to death by Howard, the "Sin-Purifying Patriarch"!

But watching this scene happen before his eyes, "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond did not move. On the contrary, except for the inevitable surprise when he first saw it, he had returned to calmness at this time.

"... are the guests of the church."

Drummond's eyes fell directly on the leader opposite, the "bishop" of the church, Rossiu Carlos.

"I shouldn't have offended you..." He looked at Luo Xiu and said in a low voice, "Go back, we don't need to fight to the death..."

"Really?"

The expression on Luo Xiu's face showed joking.

While talking to "Bishop of Flame" Drummond, Luo Xiu looked past him and looked at the body behind him——

"'Knight of Enlightenment' Saylan, 'Holy Priest' Rudall, 'Ordained Priest' Radil... they disappeared a few days ago, and they were originally here with you."

These three priests are all the holy judges of the church’s “holy place of judgment”.

The disappearance and sacrifice of the Holy Inquisitor are common occurrences for the church.

However, it is relatively rare that no body is found. In the eyes of all the priests after Luo Xiu's death, "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond's behavior is tantamount to the most serious blasphemy.

Angry feelings have arisen in the hearts of the clergy, especially Howard, who is the "priest" of the Holy Inquisition. His eyes when he looks at "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond are about to spit out fire.

"So, you——"

Luo Xiu's eyes were still filled with contempt. He looked at Drummond, whose expression was changing, and was about to continue speaking.

But the next moment, Drummond suddenly raised his hand to him!

--boom! ! ! ! ! Two scarlet pillars of fire spurted out from Drummond's cuffs!

They all rushed straight towards Luo Xiu, as the temperature in the sealed space rose sharply!

He didn't even wait for Luo Xiu to finish speaking!

When he heard Rossiu Carlos, the "bishop" of the church, say the names of the three missing priests, Drummond already knew that today would be a desperate situation!

He had been waiting before, waiting for the aftermath of the first wave of "curse" on himself to subside slightly. At the same time, he was also accumulating strength, which was the blow poured into him at this moment——

However, the moment Drummond inspired the Scarlet Pillar of Fire.

Drummond only saw.

The bishop of the church in front of him, the "Rossiu Carlos", had dozens of golden discs with a diameter of about one meter appearing around him at the same time. Those discs completely enveloped Luo Xiu's figure and completely absorbed it. Blast your own flames at him!

Then, the color of the dozens of gold disks suddenly changed - from gold to dark scarlet, and the strong spiritual surge made Drummond feel terrified.

--boom! ! ! ! !

In an instant, the scarlet light spurted out towards Drummond!

——"The divine glory is returned"!

The flames that shot at Drummond were the same flames that he shot at Luo Xiu before!

Drummond was instantly engulfed by his own flames, and in the scarlet burning, Luo Xiu could faintly hear the wails from the "ring-flame bishop".

I'm waiting for Qianyao, what are you waiting for...

Looking at the trembling and twisted figure in the flames, Luo Xiu raised his right arm at the same time. The scepter [Sacred Grip] in his hand emitted a bright golden light, and he had released several holy spells that had previously completed the Sanskrit prayer!

The bright light spread out around Luo Xiu as the center, and multiple sacred realms had arrived. When "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond was being burned, ethereal hymns were already echoing in the closed space. sound.

At the same time, Luo Xiu has also completed the summoning of the "Holy Beast"——

"Holy Flame Wolf King" Fenrir, "Burning Feather Raven" Wuye, and "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus arrived at the same time. They occupied Drummond's three weeks respectively, and Luo Xiu started from four The direction locked Drummond's retreat.

After Luo Xiu's death, "Purification Patriarch" Howard and other priests had received Luo Xiu's orders before entering this stronghold——

When "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond was suppressed, they immediately dispersed and entered various hidden passages around the stronghold to impose holy judgment on the [Lost] believers who tried to escape.

And they have indeed done so - Howard has led the Holy Judges to bypass the sea of ​​​​fire that is burning Drummond. More than a dozen "Triple Destiny" Holy Judges have been divided into two teams and headed towards two directions. Deep in the corridor.

"Uh uh...ahhhhhhh!!!"

In the scorching sea of ​​​​fire, Drummond's miserable groans continued to be heard.

He knew what the priests outside the fire wanted to do, but he was powerless to stop it.

His current state is not simply the backlash of his own scarlet fire, but another wave of attacks from the "curse" given by the "Original Mother". The abnormalities at both ends are mixed together at the same time, causing Drummond's Spirituality is on the verge of spiraling out of control.

……

Beyond the sea of ​​fire.

Luo Xiu, who had completed the expansion of several sacred realms and summoned all "holy beasts", looked through the flames and mist and saw Drummond's body peeling off layer by layer like charcoal.

It was a good time to find this moment to invade the stronghold and impose holy judgment on "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond.

Luo Xiu thought to himself as he continued to chant Sanskrit prayers in his mouth at the same time, and quickly completed the chanting of the next few sacred arts.

When the scarlet flame burning in front of him dissipated slightly.

"Bishop of Flame" Drummond finally reappeared after being bathed in fire——

His clothes were completely ruined, and his charred body could no longer tell whether it was flesh or cloth, but it didn't matter anymore.

His eyes had turned completely scarlet - flashing with a hint of madness, and the fire rings bound around his neck, waist, abdomen, wrists and ankles were now extremely bright in color - —

"Rosio Carlos!!!"

With only rational eyes left, Drummond looked at the "bishop" who was still clean in front of him, and let out a ferocious roar full of anger and despair!

But Luo Xiu didn't respond to him.

He just looked at Drummond roaring ferociously, and at the same time raised his dead arms that were still burning, as if he was performing some kind of prayer.

"Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond, he still wants to fight back!

As for the situation in front of him, Luo Xiu had already expected it.

Just when Drummond began to pray, and some kind of strange light seemed to burst out from his palms and eyes, a bright light suddenly flashed in Luo Xiu's golden eyes!

That line of sight penetrated the flames, penetrated Drummond's body, and directly peered into Drummond's "soul"!

——[The Soul-Captivating Holy Eyes]!

——Buzz! ! !

In the closed space, clearly identifiable sounds were heard at the same time in the ears of Luo Xiu and Drummond.

That is the effect of [Soul-Captivating Holy Eyes] on the soul.

At the same time, the determination of Luo Xiu and Drummond's three attributes of "divinity", "perception" and "resistance" is also proceeding rapidly amidst the exchange of voices——

Until the ringing in Luo Xiu's ears stopped completely, and the ringing in Drummond's ears quickly turned into a scream that almost penetrated the eardrums!

——"Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond, his "divinity", "perception" and "resistance", these three attributes are all lower than Luo Xiu!

Buzz! ! ! ! !

In an instant, the secret prayer that Drummond was about to perform was forcibly terminated by some irresistible force.

It was like a pair of big hands were squeezing his throat, but he was unable to resist.

Drummond didn't know what was going on.

He only saw "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos opposite, who had once again raised the scepter in his hand.

He heard the sound of a bell ringing above his head, and the edge of his vision was occupied by a golden light. The space had been torn apart, and the golden meteorite was falling amidst the roar——

boom! ! ! ! !

The next moment.

"Bishop of Flame" Drummond, his body and consciousness were annihilated by the endless sea of ​​holy light.

……

Red Maple City Church, the place of preaching.

In the Holy Treasure Hall, under the leadership of the cleric Videlian, Thomas and other "Church Patrol" players were selecting extraordinary weapons in the outer storage room.

The first moment I entered here.

Thomas's eyes were instantly attracted by the dazzling array of weapons, and he was having a hard time deciding what to choose.

His panel suddenly jumped, and new content appeared in the [Task Panel]——

That is a reminder that a certain task has been completed.

[Completed the commissioned task: Encountered the Ring Flame Bishop! (Normal difficulty)]

["Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond has been sanctioned, and the information you provided for your "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos is really useful.

【……】

"...Huh?"

"Bishop of Flame" Drummond is dead...

The [Lost] Bishop whose instant hit was almost six figures... just died like that?

Really...really dead?

"..."

Thomas looked at the panel in disbelief.

The expression on his face was as if frozen, and he was speechless for a long time.
