Chapter 280 Fierce Battle (5k)
The heir of the dead god? Just from his name, Thomas felt a strong sense of shock and uneasiness.
In his eyes, the huge, black baby's head was still struggling, constantly running upwards in the direction of the black light beam, as if trying to break through some kind of restraint.
And the golden light that kept shooting at Him from below knocked Him down again and again. He kept making shrill, sharp explosions, and the terrifying fluctuations from the center became deeper and more violent. .
--boom! boom! Huge sounds kept coming from the center of Gusta Street. Suddenly, in Thomas' field of vision, the black light pillar suddenly shattered, and fragments of black airballs sputtered out quickly towards the surroundings!
And at the corner of the street where Thomas was, thick, foul-smelling black liquid also poured in like a tide. They were like tangled and twisted black maggots, approaching Thomas' feet quickly.
"Hiss...hiss..." A heart-stopping roar emerged from the strange ripples that continued to appear on the surface of the black water. Huge blisters began to expand and burst, and bones and flesh separated from them stretched out. hand.
The thing quickly crawled out, and one, ten, or hundreds of "dead souls" were born from the black water. They were twisted and stooped like zombies, and their "eyes" that oozed pus and stinked and looked around randomly. around.
After that, they all looked at "Holy Judge" Connor and the "Adventors" behind him.
What is this, so disgusting... Thomas looked at the scene in front of him, his hands consciously clenching the sword.
The moment those monsters appeared, Thomas conducted panel detection on them.
[Aberrant Undead (lv.7)]
[Race: Undead/Unintelligent Undead]
[Threat Level: Dangerous]
[Health: 153/153, Mana: 15/15]
[Physical attack: 32, spell attack: 2, defense reduction: 10]
[Attributes: Strength 16, Constitution 15, Agility 12, Wisdom 1, Divinity 3, Perception 6, Resistance 10, Luck 1]
【……】
——Deformed undead! The sum of their attributes is double that of the players, and they have up to 32 points of physical attack. Thomas calculated that even if his own resistance damage reduction and defense reduction are added, he will die on the spot if he is hit by the aberrant undead three times!
However, even so, Thomas still felt excited, unprecedented excitement.
This is the first monster he has encountered since he came to this game as an "adventurer"!
Compared with the serious "patrol patrol", it is more interesting to see the blood flowing like a river!
When he thought this way, most of the players around him also had the same idea as him.
And just before Thomas was about to make a move, waiting for "Holy Judge" Connor and other priests to attack first, he would then find a "Deformed Undead" to slash.
The light and shadow were floating in front of his eyes, as if he had received a brand new mission.
[Trigger limited time mission: Death’s Catastrophe (?? Difficulty)]
[Recommended level: lv.10, second life path and above]
[Task type: limited time task (countdown 2h59min56s)]
[Task description: The "Death God's Heir" has arrived. He swallowed the remnants of death and gave birth to countless deformed undead spirits, which are roaming the streets of the city. It is your duty as a "church patrol" to purify them and prevent them from spreading. 】
[Main mission goal: purify as many "distorted undead" as possible (currently 0/2378, the number of "distorted undead" you have purified: 0)]
[Challenge Mission Objective: Purify the "Death God's Heir"]
[Completion reward: Basic experience + 2000; purify "Aberrant Undead" to gain additional basic experience of 500*number of kills; purify 3 "Aberrant Undead" or above and obtain the "rare" quality expertise "Destroyer"! 】
[Reward for completing the challenge: Basic experience + 200,000, "Legendary" quality expertise "Hunting God's Heir"! 】
【……】
Task! And it’s a “limited time mission”! Thomas focused his attention and browsed through it quickly, and his already excited spirit became even higher.
For this task, as long as everyone solves the current crisis situation created by the "Death God", they can get a basic 2,000 experience points, and as long as they kill a "distorted undead" in front of them, they will gain 2,000 experience points. I can add another five hundred... fragrant! So delicious! The speed of gaining experience in this way is countless times faster than that of [New Home]!
Moreover, as long as three "Deformed Undead" are killed, one can obtain a "rare" quality specialty... The corner of Thomas's mouth has turned up in a subtle arc.
In addition, this mission also has a "challenge goal" - the rewards that can be obtained by purifying the "Death God's Heir", which in the eyes of Thomas at this time are astronomical!
Regardless of the "legendary" quality expertise that can be obtained by purifying the "Death God's Heir", Thomas doesn't know how to spend the 200,000 experience rewards if he can really get it...
However, Thomas still had a good idea of what his current strength was - "Shall I beat the God's Heir?" This thought was killed as soon as it emerged in his mind. He decided to focus on the present first and focus on purifying these "abnormal deaths". Spirits".
If this was a stand-alone game with an "archive" function, Thomas would have to die a little bit to taste the taste of "Death God's Heir". But this is an online game. If you lag behind other players and lose this crucial early reward, it will be a waste.
Even if it is a "deleted test", it is good to be in the first echelon of player strength and explore the way for the official public beta. At least you can know more than most players and avoid many detours.
Thomas thought to himself that most of the players had the same idea as Thomas, and it was not ruled out that there were a few players who were stubborn and insisted on trying the "Death God's Heir".
However, since it was a "deletion test" anyway, Thomas didn't stop them, he just silently opened the chat channel and waited to watch the show.
While Thomas was browsing the panel and communicating with other players in the chat channel, "Holy Judge" Connor had taken a step forward.
"These are very dangerous enemies, but you, the swords you hold are enough to purify them." Connor only said this, and the war hammer he held drew a golden circle in the air.
The other priests of the "First Life Path" stood behind Connor and began to pray and summon simple and simple holy magic light groups.
"——Roar!" The dozen undead souls in the front row seemed to have noticed the movement here, and they all twisted their bodies and rushed towards Connor.
There was no special reaction on Connor's face. He just swung the war hammer forward, and the bright golden ring flew out in the direction of the undead.
Then, there was an explosion of "——Boom!", and the bright golden ring exploded at the center of the gathering of undead. The light mist of broken gold suddenly filled the air, covering up the rich death emitted by the monsters. The anger caused the three undead spirits that were still howling to instantly disappear into ashes!
So strong! Seeing "Holy Judge" Connor perform this holy technique, Thomas couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Connor opened the first gap, and the other "first-order destiny" priests also threw holy light groups at the undead group. Although they could not cause obvious and considerable damage like Connor, but in the Under the concentrated fire of multiple holy magic light groups, two dead souls were still annihilated in the golden light.
The undead's first wave of momentum was blocked, and the players immediately launched a counterattack against the monsters. They charged forward fearlessly and soon started a fierce battle with the undead monsters.
"Wait a minute..." Connor looked at the scene in front of him in shock. He originally planned to stabilize the situation with the church clergy, and then let the newly recruited "church patrols" join the battle, so as to ensure as much security as possible. their safety.
Connor knew that a battle like this was no child's play, but what he didn't expect was...this generation of "church patrols" would be so unafraid of life and death. Their faces were filled with the light of eagerness to fight. It’s as if they were born to fight on the battlefield!
This made Connor's originally prepared tactics immediately ineffective. He temporarily switched to praying and picked up his warhammer to join the close combat battlefield.
…
After Luo Xiu assisted "Holy Deacon" Hubert to blast open the ground in the center of Gusta Street, first a strong light pillar containing a large amount of death spirituality rose into the sky, and then, the "Death God's Heir" emerged from the crack. A huge head was drilled out of it, trying to break out of the blockade preset by Hubert and Luo Xiu.
But He failed. Just when He was about to climb out of the black light, the golden war hammer thrown upwards from below with terrifying force accurately hit His body, knocking Him down from the sky!
"So... hungry..." "Death God Heir" was still murmuring like a baby, but there was a trembling tone in his voice, as if he was covering up some kind of intense pain. The golden war hammer thrown by Hubert quickly returned to Hubert's hands. He looked at the pieces of rotten flesh lying in front of him with cold eyes, sewn and spliced together, and finally being used with some kind of method. The taboo means were infused with "true divinity", and the form of the divine heir of the [Lost] Original Mother was born.
The huge head like a baby is almost the entirety of his body. Two arms that were stubby and short compared to his head hung on both sides of his head, looking twisted and weird.
Behind His neck, there is a slender and ugly hind body like a centipede. The incompletely developed body looks very deformed. Wisps of deep and ominous black mist envelope Him, and the spirit of death is still flowing. The earth radiates outward from it.
That was the "Death God's Heir"... Looking at such an ugly and twisted creature in front of him, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart.
The moment He was forced out of the ground by Hubert and Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu had already completed the panel detection on Him.
[Incomplete Son of the Dead God], it is a level 52 monster, belonging to the "god", and the threat level is at the natural disaster level, and it is the same as the "Three Demonic Cows" Ebi who was previously trapped in a seal in the forest outside the city. Same as Ross.
All of his attributes are ridiculously high, among which "Physique", "Divinity" and "Perception" are the highest. These three attributes have exceeded thousands.
Fortunately, He was not allowed to complete the complete birth, otherwise Hubert and I would not be able to solve the complete form of "Death God's Heir"... Luo Xiu thought with some luck.
Based on the current situation, the intensity of the "Death God's Heir" in front of him is not too outrageous, and it is still within the range that Luo Xiu can control.
Hubert was confronting the "Death God's Heir", while Luo Xiu was observing the battle situation and preparing a prayer about using the holy spell. At the same time, new content popped up on his panel.
That was when I accepted a new limited-time mission, [Death Catastrophe]. The mission difficulty was an unknown indication of "?", but the reward was quite generous.
By purifying the "deformed undead" that were born from the "Death God's Heir", you can get a lot of experience points as rewards, and you can also get a "rare" quality specialty "Disaster Breaker". In addition, after completing the purification of the "Death God's Heir", you can also get 200,000 experience points and the legendary expertise "Hunting God's Heir", which made Luo Xiu's eyes flash with a deep light.
He knew that this limited-time task could be triggered by all players who participated in the event. Through the sharing and discussion of players in the forum and channel, Luo Xiu had also confirmed this. Most of the players in the city were aware of this sudden incident. Events are gathering in the direction of Gusta Street, which is in line with Luo Xiu's purpose of guiding the players.
Afterwards, Luo Xiu hid the panel and began to focus on preparing for the battle with the "Death God's Heir" in front of him.
"——Roar!" Suddenly, the Death God Heir raised his huge head and let out a deafening roar.
The two stubby arms hanging around his neck immediately ignited with black flames, and the centipede-like half of his body behind him crawled quickly on the ground and pounced in the direction of Hubert.
He opened his arms at the same time, and the burning, taboo black flames suddenly formed two huge whirlpools of flames, roaring and sweeping in the direction of Hubert!
Click! Wherever the black flame whirlwind passed, the houses instantly cracked and collapsed like powder. The disintegrated and torn parts hovered at the edge of the whirlwind like sharp blades, and when they cut through the air, they emitted a sharp blade-like sound. Boom.
The air suddenly became stagnant, and the expression on Hubert's face became more serious than ever.
He looked warily at the Death God's heir who was rushing toward him crazily, and at the same time he said some kind of sacred, ancient prayer.
"——I declare by my oath to purify my sins."
"—I pray in the name of Hubert."
"——My body, my soul, everything I carry."
“—All is given to the lion of the heart.”
Just before the whirlwind of black flames arrived, Hubert grasped the handle of the war hammer with both hands and raised it flat above his chest.
A ring shield shining with golden light appeared in front of him, standing between him and the black flame whirlwind.
Behind Hubert, another illusory beast figure shining with golden light appeared faintly.
It was a pure white lion wearing armor.
It was lying on Hubert's shoulder, its burning golden eyes staring at the dead god heir opposite, and in its hairy paws, a dazzling, unstoppable weapon was slowly condensing. The giant sword of sight.
…
--boom!
Connor suddenly swung a hammer in front of him, and half of the body of a deformed undead was immediately shattered by the hammer, and the other half of the body was twisted and turned into nothingness.
As the best among the "two-fold destiny" extraordinary people, every swing of Connor's war hammer will completely "purify" a deformed undead, although the undead are still coming towards Connor in a steady stream. came, but could not pose much threat to him in a short period of time.
While hitting the warhammer accurately on the head of each "deformed undead", Connor was also paying attention to the fighting of the surrounding "church patrols".
The enchanted swords assigned by the church to these "guards" struck the undead bodies with their sharp blades again and again. The scorching golden light overflowed from the slash marks on the undead bodies, constantly burning them to death. The flesh and blood of birth.
"Hiss...his!" The dead souls let out painful, ear-piercing howls. Their deformed arms suddenly twisted into sharp claws dripping with black liquid, and they clawed at the surrounding "church patrols" crazily!
Connor witnessed this scene. Being entangled by more than a dozen undead souls, he was unable to go over to support them. He could only wait anxiously and pessimistically for the destined outcome.
As Connor watched, the "church patrols" who rushed forward were immediately surrounded by the surrounding undead monsters. They attacked the patrols like crazy and quickly tore their bodies into pieces.
Blood continued to flow from the broken limbs, gathering into a bloody and sticky pool of blood on the ground. More and more undead souls came up, and they "eat" the corpse of the newly killed patrol. It wasn't long before it was eaten up.
"..." Looking at the purgatory-like scene in front of him, even though Connor had seen similar horrific scenes, the corners of his eyes still twitched uncontrollably.
"May your souls go to the eternal kingdom of heaven..." Connor silently prayed for the victims in his heart.
However, as soon as he finished praying for the sacrificed guards, he saw, in the center of the gathering of dead souls, wisps of white silk thread suddenly floating out, and "weaving" a new thread in the open space not far away. , the same figure as the previously sacrificed guard.
Like puppets appearing out of thin air, their figures gradually changed from illusion to reality. The "patrol" who had just died actually "lived" again in front of Connor!
"...?" Seeing the strange changes happening in front of him, Connor's attention was completely shocked by such an incredible scene. He didn't even notice that his arm was scratched by the approaching undead and had a bloody scar.
The "reborn" patrolman shook his arm, a light of excitement appeared on his face, and he shouted:
"——I'm resurrected!!!"
Later, even though the sword in his hand had been lost in the undead tide, he rushed into the pile of monsters in front of him without fear. Under the cover of other patrols, he picked up the sword he had left behind and headed towards the nearest The undead body was slashed violently.
Just like when they first joined the battle, they were fanatical and fearless of death.
"..."
"Who are they?"
Connor muttered in a daze. He casually smashed the body of the approaching undead. At this time, he felt that his world view was rapidly collapsing.
