Chapter 166 Prisoner
No matter how he fights, Duanmu Huai's creed is to be fast, accurate and ruthless. His physique does not allow Duanmu Huai to choose actions such as sneak attacks during the battle, so the best way is to rush over directly, intimidate the opponent, and directly destroy the opponent before he can react.
As for other things... we'll talk about it after the smashing is done! !
Facts have proved that Duanmu Huai's trick really works. The guys who were performing the ceremony never expected that the thick stone door would be knocked open so violently, and they were shocked at the moment. Before they could recover, they saw Duanmuhuai jumping up with the help of a jetpack and hitting the ceremony venue like a boulder thrown by a trebuchet. Then he held the war hammer tightly in his hand and swung it hard. In an instant, several believers who were performing the ceremony were swept away, wailing and hitting the wall without moving.
At this time, several men in black robes standing nearby also reacted. They flashed and rushed towards Duanmu Huai with weapons in hand. However, although these people moved very quickly, their weapons were completely ineffective. With the sound of "clang, clang, clang", all the swords and axes swung were blocked by the thick power armor, and did not even leave any traces on it. The next slightest trace.
Duanmu Huai took this opportunity to grab the war hammer with both hands again and directly smashed away all the other enemies beside him.
At the same time, with roars, several black vicious dogs swooped over from all directions, but before they had time to show their ferocity, they were directly trampled to pieces by Duanmu Huai.
As all the believers at the ceremony were swept away by Duanmu Huai, the ongoing ceremony was obviously destroyed. The blood flowing around them began to boil and roll, and the blood-red crystal suspended in the middle also began to boil. Gradually dimmed and fell to the ground.
"You damn bastard!!"
Seeing this scene, the man in black robe standing on the high platform roared angrily, then he raised his hands, his eyes radiating a dazzling light. Following the movements of the man in black robes, the surrounding tombs suddenly exploded one by one, and then dozens of pale monsters emerged from them. They looked like a fusion of humans and bats, and their bodies were all dry. Dead skin, you can even see thick blue blood vessels inside that are squirming without a trace of blood.
The faces of these monsters also look like a fusion of humans and bats. Although they still retain human facial features, their teeth, ears, and mouths are all like bats.
"That's Carl!!"
When he saw one of the monsters, Old Bente screamed immediately. He grabbed Gu Leiya with one hand and pointed forward with the other. His face was pale and his whole body was shaking.
Although I had already guessed that these missing villagers would end badly, I didn't expect that they would actually transform into such monsters!
Along with the appearance of these monsters, countless undead soldiers also appeared. The white bones scattered on the ground seemed to be attracted by some powerful force at this moment, and they quickly condensed to form skeletons. Soldier. Surrounded by Duanmu Sophora japonica.
Seeing this scene, the man in black robe showed a cold and cruel smile.
"Damn mortal, you dare to mess with my ritual, then let you feel what the real Zetsu is..."
But before the man in black robe finished speaking, Duanmu Huai glanced at the undead army and monsters surrounding him and sneered. Then I saw him lift his right foot and step forward hard! !
[Soul Flame]!
With Duanmu Huai as the center, pure white flames with sacred power burst out instantly. In the blink of an eye, they almost filled the entire hall. Under the impact of the soul flames, the surrounding undead spirits and monsters fell to the ground almost instantly, and The dazzling brilliance made the man in black robe who was caught off guard instinctively raised his hand to block in front of him.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The man in black robe was burned by the flames of his soul and fell to his knees, groaning in pain. Then his body was suddenly covered by the thick black fog. The clothes on the man in black robe completely dissolved and disappeared at this moment, replaced by , a monster with a tall black body, a goat-like head and bat wings appeared from it. It raised its head and opened its mouth, revealing the extremely sharp fangs inside.
"You, how dare you...!!!"
However, the anger of the man in black robe ended there.
Because at this moment, Duanmu Huai, who rushed in front of the man in black robe, had already raised his war hammer and smashed it hard against his mutated dog-like and goat-like head.
"Pfft!!"
The black-robed monster's head cracked like a watermelon, while its body trembled and completely turned into a pool of blood.
"Very good, done."
Duanmuhuai put away his war hammer and nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, there is no living enemy in the hall. The mutated monsters and undead soldiers were burned to charcoal by the soul flames, and the man in black robe who was the instigator also had his head smashed by Duanmu Huai's hammer... ...Well, although I don’t know what this guy is doing, at least for now, he has been prevented from further actions.
"Are you okay, Mr. Knight?"
At this time, Gu Leiya and Old Bente also cautiously entered the ceremony hall. Looking at the scene around them, they couldn't help but gasp. After all, from the current point of view, it is not an exaggeration to describe the place as littered with corpses, and it is even more incredible to think that Duanmu Huai did it all by himself.
"I'm fine. This little trick doesn't trouble me."
Duanmu Huai shook his head. For him, the enemies on this continent were basically not challenging. Well... If he wanted to seek a challenge, then Duanmu Huai would probably have to go to the Annihilation Realm to fight the Demon God.
"But then again, what do these guys want to do with such a big battle?"
Duanmuhuai looked at the headless monster in front of him curiously. Just when he was about to look for clues nearby to see if he could figure out what these people were doing, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"If you want to know, I can help you, the mighty Iron Warrior."
"Oh?"
Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked up, only to find that a man wearing a dark blue robe was being held in a cell in the corner of the meeting hall. At this moment, his face was thin and he looked exhausted. .
"Praise to Standal, now it seems that my life is really not deserved."
"Who are you?" Duanmu Huai walked to the cage and looked at the other person curiously.
"I am Standal's vigilant, Gulei Pastor."
"Standal's vigilantes, oh..."
After hearing the other party's answer, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, and then nodded as if he suddenly understood.
Among the empires on this continent, there are nine officially designated gods, also known as the Nine Holy Spirits.
They are:
Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time.
Akai, the god of reincarnation.
DiBella, the goddess of beauty.
Julianoth, the god of wisdom.
Genaleth, God of Air.
Mara, the loving God.
Standal, the god of justice.
Zenitha, the god of wealth.
And...the unlucky Mortal and God of War, Talos, who was banned by the elves.
Of course, in addition to these nine officially designated Holy Spirits, there are also sixteen Demon Gods, but there is nothing to say about this for the time being.
Standal's vigilantes are followers of Standal, the Hand of Justice. They are mainly responsible for hunting monsters, including vampires, undead, werewolves and other creatures...well, they are half of the Inquisitor's peers.
Gu Lei also told Duanmu Huai about his experience - like all vigilantes, Gu Lei had been tracking and killing vampires, but when he was on his way, he was suddenly besieged by a group of vampires. His companions were killed, and he was caught here. According to Gu Lei, these vampires seem to need the heart of a devout believer in the gods to complete their blasphemous and evil rituals, but now it seems... This ceremony probably has no sequel.
"Do you know what they plan to do?"
"I don't know that, but I know what that thing is."
As he spoke, Gu Lei looked at the mysterious prop that fell in the center of the ceremony venue. It was a stone sculpture that looked like a sun. At this moment, the crystal part in the middle of the sculpture shows a dull red light.
"That is the Star of Azula, an artifact belonging to the demon god Azula. It can be used to load and imprison souls."
"So, are those vampires planning to imprison human souls?"
"It's not that simple."
Gulei shook his head.
"According to my observations, these vampires seem to be planning to transform the Star of Azura into some kind of special container... This ritual is also prepared for this. As for what they want to do... I'm afraid there is no People know.”
"What now?"
Duanmu Huai stepped forward and built the Azura Star that fell on the ground. At this moment, the strange thing was still surrounded by bright red light, which looked like flowing blood.
"I suggest that you return it to Azula and let her purify this Azula Star. No matter what those vampires want to do with this thing, Azula can stop them."
"Are you sure? Isn't Azula a demon?"
If Duanmu Huai remembers correctly, Azula seems to be one of the sixteen demon gods...
"Although Azula is a demon, she is not an evil god. No matter what these vampires want to do, at least Azula will never allow them to succeed."
"That's it..."
After listening to Gu Lei's words, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then let's go meet the devil."
It's okay to have a fight if you really can't.
