Chapter 62 Blocking the Door
When Duanmuhuai and his party left the temple in a hurry, everything in front of them had completely changed. Shortly after they left the temple, the entire temple was suddenly surrounded by a powerful, dark, and crimson force. And its shape has not returned to its original appearance. On both sides of the twin towers, illuminated by blazing red flames, are huge human faces twisted in pain, and above the church, countless pitch-black crows emit piercing shrieks. The screams kept flying.
Not only that, looking around, the lake that originally surrounded the church was now frozen like sharp ice. And those lush trees and grasslands have turned into withered branches.
"How could..."
Seeing this scene, Lorena's expression changed drastically.
"To make a long story short, what's going on now?"
Duanmuhuai glanced at the temple behind him, lowered his voice and asked, while Lorena answered tremblingly.
"They...they opened the door to hell! They want to connect this place to hell and summon the King of Ice Hell!!"
"So now have they succeeded? Or have they failed?"
"I don't know, but at least it didn't fail. I can feel the breath of hell is spreading... This matter must be reported to the Archbishop immediately!"
"But we didn't see anything similar in the underground temple just now?"
Duanmu Huai was very sure that if he had seen something like this in the underground temple, he would have smashed it to pieces with a hammer.
"I don't know, but maybe the underground temple itself is just a trap, and the core should be in a more secret place..."
"It's so annoying..."
Duanmuhuai scratched his head, and then looked at the system in front of him again. At this moment, the mission in front of him had changed.
[Special mission "Chasing the Murderer" completed]
[You have found the mastermind hidden behind all this, but this is just the beginning. Defeat the conspiracy of the mastermind and completely seal its ambition and evil! 】
[Special mission "Day of Extinction" activated]
[Mission goal: Find a way to close the portal and protect the safety of the Holy City]
"Hey, there's nothing we can do!"
Looking at the system prompts in front of him, Duanmu Huai grabbed the war hammer again and turned towards the temple.
"Lord Knight? What are you going to do?"
"Go and close the portal! It has just been opened now! Close it as soon as possible before a more difficult situation arises!"
Could it really be like the CG animation in the game, with everyone watching helplessly as the BOSS opens the door, jumps out, and starts a fight? If I could just hold the door down and close it again before opening the door, wouldn't there be so much trouble?
Duanmuhuai is now certain that the reason why this holy city was destroyed was because Ivel opened the portal to hell and then summoned the King of Ice Prison, thus destroying the city. But he should have been fully prepared at that time, and now Ivel himself has burped. Judging from his appearance, the ceremony must not have been particularly successful. Even if the nun started the ceremony, it would probably be flawed.
If we don't take this opportunity to find the portal and smash it, do we have to have a group of people standing outside waiting to fight the BOSS?
The BOSS in Soul Fragments doesn’t give experience either!
"Ogis, let's go!!"
Duanmuhuai greeted Ogis, then turned around and rushed into the temple again, while Lorena looked at their figures, gritted her teeth, and then turned to look at Meludi next to her.
"Miss Meludi, please go and inform the archbishop and the others. I'm very worried about the knight. I want to go with you!"
After saying this, Lorena followed Duanmuhuai and Ojis and returned to the temple again.
At this moment, the temple has completely changed into a different look. Evil is everywhere on the walls, and statues and patterns full of blasphemy seem to be mocking the world. The ground is littered with the corpses of those believers. If you look closely, you can even find that these believers have withered limbs and bones, as if all the flesh and blood in their bodies has been drained.
"Lord Knight, how do you plan to find it?"
After rushing into the temple and seeing this scene, Lorena also took a breath, and then asked hurriedly. After hearing her question, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.
"Do you have any suggestions?"
“Woo…………Woo………………”
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Lorena also frowned and racked her brains to think hard.
"Sorry, I, I really don't know much about this..."
"Then just blow up this temple!"
There was no good way for Lorena, so Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision. Lorena was shocked when she heard what he said.
"Exploded? Exploded?"
"That's right... Since I can't find it, I just blew it up and I'll see what trouble it can cause."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai took out a few grenades from the belt of his power armor - as a judge specializing in close combat, he did not have many explosives at his disposal. These grenades were originally included. Originally, Duanmu Huai could produce firearms and other things by building the [Void Air Force Camp], but he was not very interested in this aspect, so he kept it on hold.
However, even a few grenades, as long as they are placed in the right place, are powerful enough to blow up the temple - otherwise, why hasn't Duanmu Huai used them for so long?
It's a pity that there is no way to bring Nightcrow Black Star, otherwise wouldn't it be more reliable to directly bombard him with justice from the sky?
After tying up the grenade, Duanmuhuai quickly aimed at a load-bearing pillar in the center of the temple. However, just when he was about to walk over and smack a pit to put the grenade in, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I can't let you do this, this Iron Knight."
Hearing these words, Duanmu Huai and others hurriedly raised their heads and saw that the devil nun was currently holding a staff inlaid with bright rubies, floating in the air with a smile.
"This is the place where the great Ice Hell King is about to come. I don't want that lord to look disgraced when he comes here."
"It seems you can't help it!"
Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai raised his left hand, and soon, fire broke out. The nun turned her body lightly to avoid the fireworks blooming from the sky. "Ogis!"
At the same time, Ogis had jumped up and rushed towards the nun. She opened her hands, and invisible threads intertwined and flew forward. A large net was quickly woven from all directions, wrapping the nun like a fish trapped in a fishing net. Then Ogis pulled hard, and the next moment the threads crisscrossed across her - but they were not able to cause even the slightest harm to the nun.
"Oh, it's really scary."
The nun floating in the void looked at this scene with a smile, showing an expression of artificial fear. Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai secretly took a sip. It was obvious that this nun was not an ordinary person. Although she did not know what race this guy was, it was obvious that a simple physical attack would not cause any harm to her.
However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai and his party only had physical attacks - even the priest Lorena used the method of physical flow. In this case, it was basically impossible to break the nun's trick.
But who wants to break your trick!
The more you don't want me to do something, if I still do something, I will blow up your ruined temple. If you can, bite me! !
It was late and then fast, in the blink of an eye, Duanmu Huai made an immediate decision, and then he leaped directly to the load-bearing column, picked up the war hammer and smashed it against the load-bearing column!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Under Duanmuhuai's attack, the load-bearing pillar in front of her was cracked with the naked eye. Seeing this scene, the nun floating in the sky no longer felt as leisurely as before. Her expression suddenly changed, and then she hurriedly raised the staff in her hand.
"You are not allowed to act recklessly here!"
As the nun spoke, the next moment, the dried corpses on the ground got up one by one. They were shriveled, and their empty eye sockets exuded a scarlet light. Then, these mummies opened their hands and roared towards Duanmu. Huai rushed over.
"Block them, Ogis, Lorena!"
Duanmuhuai didn't need to say much, Ogis and Lorena had already taken action at this moment. Ogis flicked her hands, and the invisible thread immediately turned into a blade and flashed past, directly cutting the dozens of corpses in front of her into pieces. On the other side, Lorena was also holding the holy scripture in her hand, and mercilessly smashed the undead spirits that rushed forward one by one into their foreheads, causing them to explode into human form.
"Boom!!!"
Duanmuhuai's war hammer hit the load-bearing pillar again, and its force was so powerful that even the ceiling of the temple shook. Then Duanmuhuai took out the bundled grenade and stuffed it directly into the gap. among.
"You bastard, you can't do this!!!"
Seeing this scene, the nun finally couldn't bear it any longer. She raised her staff and pointed it at Duanmu Huai. And at this time......
“Bang!!”
The glass suddenly shattered, and then, Qi Wei's eyes were red, and she rushed towards the nun with her teeth and claws.
"How dare you kill the master! How dare you kill the master!!!"
"How dare you, a useless puppet, come to cause trouble!!"
The nun didn't expect that Qianwei would come to cause trouble at this time, and she backed away angrily at this moment. At the same time, Duanmuhuai hugged Ogis and Lorena and pressed them under him, and then Duanmuhuai also leaned down.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of light suddenly erupted.
"————————Boom!!!"
A thunderous roar erupted instantly, directly breaking the huge load-bearing pillar in the center of the temple. The huge impact was unabated, and even the marble floor in the temple began to shake like waves under the huge impact. The tall floor-to-ceiling skylight exploded instantly, and glass fragments fell in large numbers, mixed with the Dust and gravel fell together on the ground.
Then the temple began to collapse.
The towering tower collapsed like a fragile biscuit, hitting the roof of the temple heavily, and then directly smashed a huge hole in it. The originally exquisite and luxurious building now looked like a model that had been roughly treated by naughty children, and began to become dilapidated. The exquisite decorations and outer walls collapsed, causing a chain reaction that brought the entire temple to the edge of collapse and shattering.
I don't know how long it took, as the shaking gradually stopped, a piece of ceiling rubble that was several meters thick was pushed away. Then, Duanmu Huai stood up, and under him was Oji, who was covered in dust. Silk and Lorena.
"Well, it looks much more comfortable this way."
Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked with satisfaction at the devastated temple ruins in front of him, as if they had been bombed by air raids. It's a pity that only the middle part collapsed, and the towers on both sides are still more or less intact. Even so, Duanmuhuai could also notice that what he did seemed to have some impact. At least the scarlet aura just now seemed much darker now.
"You...how dare you do such a thing..."
The nun's voice came again, but this time her voice was no longer the artificial clipped sound like before, but filled with anger and resentment, like the hissing of a poisonous snake. Duanmuhuai looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the nun was still floating in the air, but at this moment she looked miserable - it was obvious that even she could not escape the explosion just now.
"What? You can bite me if you can?"
Duanmuhuai gave the nun a middle finger and clenched the warhammer again. The nun's eyes were wide open at this moment, staring at Duanmu Huai angrily.
"Don't think that this can stop the King of Ice Prison! In that case, then I will use your blood to complete the ritual!!"
Along with the roar, the nun raised her staff high, but at this moment......
"——————!"
Suddenly, a flash of starlight pierced the sky and shattered the staff in the nun's hand.
This unexpected scene also surprised everyone. They hurriedly turned around and saw a petite angel with wings floating in the sky, staring at the battlefield in front of them.
"You winged bastard————!!!"
Seeing the angel in front of her, the nun's face suddenly became ferocious and twisted, and at the same time, her body began to change again. What originally looked like a graceful figure gradually became dry and slender. Huge black devil wings spread out behind her, her legs were covered with sharp bone spurs, and her hands turned into giant fists made of steel. appearance.
"Wow... finally transformed?"
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai also complained. However, facing the changes in the nun, the angel was completely unmoved.
"This is not the world you should be in. Leave here and never come back."
As she spoke, the angel slowly raised her hands and made an aiming gesture. Following her movements, several balls flew out from the side of the angel, forming a spinning circle in front of her. circle, locking the nun into it.
The next moment, countless light arrows fell from the sky, accompanied by the roaring torrent of light, completely swallowing the nun's figure.
