Chapter 117 How about you guys fight again? (5k)
Sethis was a little confused.
From the very beginning, Sethis chased the "Two-faced Doll" to the Alchemy Institute. After suspecting that the theft of the artifact of his Lord, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", was related to the Alchemy Institute, Thetis chose to retreat.
Sethis also had a vague suspicion that this might be a trap. The "double-sided doll" may just be a hook to attract him, but compared to blindly looking for a needle in a haystack, it is indeed the only clue.
Sethis originally thought that it didn't matter even if it was a trap. Because as the "Shadow of Murder", even if he is really chased and intercepted because his whereabouts are exposed, he can still evacuate easily and calmly.
As one of the "Blood of Thorns" with the highest combat power in Sina City and a transcendent of the fourth level of [Red Lotus], "Shadow of Slaughter" Thetis has full confidence in his own strength.
...This is how it should have been.
But what Sethis didn't expect was that he only kidnapped two [intellectual] destiny scholars who were not even "extraordinary people", but he would actually attract the attention of the "Great Knowledge One"!
[Intellect] The reaction of the Alchemy Institute was too violent, which was somewhat beyond Sethis' expectations.
According to Sethis's original prediction, the "Alchemy Academy" would at most send a "senior warlock" with the third level of [intellect]. If it was just to rescue the two scholars, this combat power would be sufficient.
As a result, the "Great Master" of the Alchemy Institute actually went out in person. What was this for?
Setis could only think of one answer in his mind.
——"Double-Sided Doll"!
This group of warlocks from the Alchemy Academy must not know the correct way to use the "double-faced doll", so the "Great Knowledge" personally went out to get information about it from the people who "took the bait". The correct way to use "Double-Sided Doll"!
The more Sethis thought about it, the more he was right, and his suspicion became more and more certain in his heart.
"How could they know that the double-faced doll is a divine object used to resist the backlash of flesh and blood..."
While speculating, "Shadow of Slaughter" Thetis has completed the preparatory sacrifice of the [Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood·Slaughter of Living Remains] skill.
In the deepest part of the stronghold, in front of Sethis, were two "blood disciples" who had just died. Their throats were cut cleanly by Sethis. The blood flowed out from the wounds and pooled into the blood in front of Sethis. In a small tank.
Sacrifice the souls and blood of extraordinary people with "second life path" or above to obtain "resonance" with the corpses in the entire stronghold, use the flesh and blood of the corpses as containers, and infuse the haze spirituality of the "Shadow of Killing" to instantly create Dozens of killing corpses with terrifying combat power!
This is the reason why Sethis was not in a hurry to retreat even though he knew that the Alchemy Institute had dispatched the "Great Master".
In a sense, the deaths of Voight, the "Destroyer", and those "blood disciples" and "blood slaves" were of no importance in Sethis' eyes.
Even if they die, their corpses and flesh can still be used by "Shadow of Slaughter" Thetis. This is the cruel truth inside "Blood of Thorns".
These "Blood of Thorns" cultists who have been engraved by the "Brand of Thorns" will always be slaves who can be killed and robbed at will unless the "Brand of Thorns" inscriptions break on their own like Intis did.
…
——Bah! Click, click, click!
"Great Alchemist" Lockland summoned the "Crazy Era+" level demon puppet, the Star-Shattered Ring!
Luo Xiu looked up and saw that just above the fortress where the "City Casting Golem" was deployed, a huge metal ring-shaped golem was floating up and down in mid-air.
The "Crazy Era+" level demon doll - "Broken Star Ring", its surface flashes red like flames, Luo Xiu can clearly feel that the surrounding temperature is gradually increasing; its inner and outer rings have countless Sharp spikes, with dazzling sparks like electric welding coming out from the spikes.
Luo Xiu was shocked. He knew the reputation of the "Broken Star Ring" in his previous life.
Almost at the same time that the "Broken Star Circle" was summoned, Luo Xiu raised his hands and stuffed his ears with his fingers.
——Bah! boom! ! !
The spikes of the "Broken Star Ring" quickly turned red, and terrifying energy gathered toward the center of the ring through the sparks emitted by the spikes. The dense annihilation energy group expanded rapidly and exploded when the energy reached its peak. !
Everyone felt their vision turn pale, and the loud sound exceeded the hearing limit of most people, causing them to fall into a brief tinnitus. The ground began to shake violently, and all the blood mist and gray haze that filled the air disappeared under this cleansing attack.
One after another "killing corpses" were annihilated into ashes by the Broken Star Ring. Except for Luo Xiu and the alchemy academy warlocks who were protected by the "Casting City" and "Strong Shield", all objects in this space that were not hard enough were destroyed. Exploded into powder.
Lockland's face was tense. The "Broken Star Ring" annihilation attack could only be launched once.
After this, the "Broken Star Ring" will fall into a "broken" state, and it will take a week to recover.
This is Rockland's life-saving trump card.
In order to prevent the annihilation attack of the "Shattered Star Circle" and avoid accidentally injuring the scholars kidnapped by the enemy, Lockland waited for all the "Slaughter Skeletons" in sight to enter the attack range, and controlled the "Shattered Star Circle" "attack range.
Lockland waited for the annihilation attack of the "Shattered Star Ring" to dissipate the escaping light and smoke.
…
After a short wait.
When the dust settled, there was no longer any enemy in Luo Xiu's field of vision.
Lockland opened his senses, and he did not detect any spiritual fluctuations from the [Red Lotus] pagans.
All the "slaughter skeletons" have been annihilated by the Broken Star Ring, and the corpses of the "Red Lotus" pagans on the ground have also been annihilated by this time. Not even a scrap is left.
Luo Xiu was relieved for the time being. Although he knew that the "Shadow of Murder" would not be killed because of this annihilation, he at least, for the time being, had no possibility of giving birth to a new "Skeleton of Murder" from the corpse.
Lockland then released the defensive forms of the "Castle" and "Shield" golems, and led the alchemy academy warlocks deeper into the area.
They were all cleared by the "Broken Star Ring" in the middle, and no enemy survived. However, a dazzling light suddenly poured in from the side of the wall. Luo Xiu looked toward the light source, and a huge hole was suddenly opened in the wall.
"Shadow of Murder" and some surviving "blood disciples" should have chosen to break through the wall to escape when they sensed the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the "Shattered Star Circle"...
Luo Xiu thought secretly, but he didn't care about this now.
He mingled with the team of alchemical sorcerers and kept going deeper into the stronghold, looking for the room where the two scholars might be imprisoned.
At this time, the [Promotion Mission: Praise to End Disaster] judgment time has passed, and Luo Xiu is ready to complete the mission at any time and truly be promoted to become a transcendent of the "Triple Destiny".
While following the alchemy academy warlocks to search the rooms one by one, Luo Xiu was secretly thinking about something else.
This time, following "General Knowledge" Lockland out to destroy the pagan stronghold, it can be said to be Luo Xiu's most confusing battle since time travel.
He didn't take any action at all. "Generalist" Rockland's output should have accounted for more than 90% of the entire battle. Luo Xiu was just relying on his face and following Rockland to gain popularity.
By the way, Luo Xiu also spent a lot of assist experience points in vain. Although it was only 20% of the basic experience and there was no leapfrog reward calculation, he killed a large number of enemies and the experience gained was quite rich.
"..." Luo Xiu suddenly realized something. He suddenly understood the benefits of following the thigh.
While Luo Xiu was savoring the joy of fishing.
"Found it!" A warlock from the Alchemy Academy shouted in front, and Luo Xiu looked in the direction of the sound.
In front, several warlocks were surrounding a huge birdcage.
In the birdcage, two "scholars" were shivering with their heads covered with black cloth.
They had some scratches on their bodies, but no serious wounds. Apart from being a little frightened, there was nothing serious.
Before the "Shadow of Killing" was about to torture them, he was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the Alchemy Institute. In the end, the "Shadow of Killing" escaped in a hurry and had no time to take care of these two scholars.
Luo Xiu secretly thought that starting from this incident, "Alchemy Institute" and "Blood of Thorns" were at loggerheads.
"Shadow of Murder" Sethis will become more and more certain that the "Two-Faced Doll" is in the hands of the Alchemy Institute, and the Alchemy Institute will also officially become enemies with the "Blood of Thorns" because of this incident.
For the Alchemy Institute, although no casualties were caused, this intention threatened the terrorist power of the "Fangbei". Even though the Alchemy Institute was almost entirely focused on research, it did not mean that they would allow such terrorist actions to occur. .
And Lockland, the "generalist" himself, will also be sure that the incomplete pages of "Saed's Codex" are in the hands of the cultists of "Blood of Thorns", and Lockland will never give up easily.
After that, the "Shadow of Killing" will definitely cause trouble in the Alchemy Institute, and Luo Xiu no longer needs any more guidance.
…
While thinking about it, the alchemy warlocks in front had already rescued the two scholars from the cage.
The two scholars were greatly frightened. Even if they saw their former colleagues, they could not quickly get rid of their fear.
Several warlocks then supported the scholar and walked outside the stronghold. Lockland searched around the stronghold and found nothing related to the remaining pages of "Sed's Codex". He was slightly disappointed, but his disappointed expression was quickly hidden by him.
"We have rescued our colleagues." Lockland walked up to the gathered warlocks and said, "Let's go, let us leave this place of right and wrong."
…
Lockland, Luo Xiu and other alchemy academy warlocks left the "Blood of Thorns" stronghold with the rescued scholars.
The group of people returned directly to the obelisk of the Alchemy Academy. The warlocks comforted the two frightened scholars, while Luo Xiu followed Lockland to the "Between True Knowledge".
In the room of "General Knowledgeer" Lockland, Lockland sat in the main seat, and Luo Xiu sat opposite him.
This time, it was Lockland who took the initiative to invite Luo Xiu to be a "guest" in his research room.
"... Luo Xiu." Lockland sighed, "This is really a farce."
"Yes." Luo Xiu agreed, "The cultists of [Red Lotus], they are indeed... unpredictable."
The two chatted for a while, and Lockland didn't care about Luo Xiu who was fishing in the battle. It would be better to say that in the eyes of this "general person", Luo Xiu, who was only a second-level destiny priest, could not be of much help. normal.
And long before they entered the stronghold, Luo Xiu had applied a "sacred blessing" to everyone. In Lockland's understanding, this was all the help Luo Xiu could provide.
But what Lockland didn't know was that Luo Xiu could avoid revealing his identity as a priest in front of the "Blood of Thorns" by not using the Holy Technique of [Glory] in battle. This was the real source of trouble. .
"... Luo Xiu."
Lockland frowned and suddenly asked the priest opposite, "You are the Holy Judge of the church. You should be more familiar with some secret organizations of heretics than I am. You know, in the territory of 'Sina City' Here, who are the pagans who follow [Red Lotus]?"
This time, Rockland did not unfold the "spiritual network". This was not a temptation, but a sincere request from Rockland.
Luo Xiu then showed a thoughtful expression. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Lord Lockland, if you are asking about the [Red Lotus] secret organizations with greater influence, I can probably think of four. indivual."
"The most powerful one in Sina City should be the [Beast Ancestors Association], but... you know, they are an organization of that nature, which is completely different from what we saw this time when we went deep into the stronghold;"
"The second is the [Torch Party]. They are a group of extremist pagans who are accustomed to causing large-scale terrorist attacks. Most of the believers of the [Torch Party] hold cursed torches as weapons, and they are our key targets for judgment;"
"Again, it's the [Blood of Thorns]. They are the true believers of the 'Destruction Seat' and master many blood secrets and evil rituals of flesh and blood sacrifice;"
"Finally, there are the [Nirvana Exalted Ones]. They are the most low-key followers of the [Red Lotus]. They are focused on studying how to 'die' and then be 'reborn'. They have not done anything particularly big, so the 'Holy Judgment' People generally don’t go out of their way to cause trouble for them.”
"As far as I know, these are the main secret organizations that follow [Red Lotus] in Sina City." Luo Xiu spread his hands, "Other organizations are either too small or have not made any extraordinary moves. , It’s not yet to the point where the ‘Holy Judge’ needs to be dispatched.”
"..."
After listening to Luo Xiu's narration, Lockland put his hands on his forehead and fell into deep thought.
"The Blood of Thorns...the Nirvana Exalted..." Lockland murmured. In his opinion, these two hidden organizations were the biggest suspects.
"Then, Lord Lockland." Luo Xiu stood up in time, nodded to Lockland and said, "I have disturbed you too much, it's time for me to leave."
Luo Xiu has already completed all the guidance that needs to be done. After that, he only needs to wait for the seeds to sprout and grow abundant fruits.
Lockland was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said:
"Well, goodbye, Luo Xiu Carlos. This time, on behalf of the Alchemy Institute, I would like to thank you for your assistance, and I will also find time to report to your Holy Court Church that you helped us clear out this stronghold. "
"Sorry to trouble you, Lord Lockland." Luo Xiu responded politely, and then gently left Lockland's research room.
…
Sina City, slum.
In the "Blood of Thorns" stronghold.
Under a thick gray mist, there was the sound of some heavy breathing.
"Shadow of Murder" Thetis, when "The Enlightenment" Lockland summoned the ring golem that exuded terrifying fluctuations, he immediately chose to retreat.
Sethis made a prompt decision, blasted through the wall on one side, and took the opportunity to escape with half of the "blood disciples".
The other half of the "blood disciples" who couldn't react in time were blown away by the annihilation blow of the broken star ring, leaving nothing behind.
But Sethis didn't care about the life and death of those blood disciples who were just "second lives".
For the "Blood of Thorns", their method of cultivating extraordinary beings is not as step-by-step as other fates or organizations. They only need to find ordinary people who are suitable as "containers" and combine them with the selected monster bodies. Or the combination of crystal nuclei can produce "blood disciples" in batches.
Therefore, "Blood of Thorns" has no shortage of cannon fodder with "second destiny". Although the strength of most "blood disciples" is much lower than that of normal second destiny extraordinary beings, the number of blood disciples is often more powerful. Take advantage of the crushing power.
Sethis took half of the surviving blood disciples back to their stronghold in the "Slums", which is the area that is truly under his control.
At this time, Sethis had no time to worry about what the controller of the "Triumph Square" stronghold would think when he found out that Sethis had made a mess of his stronghold. Sethis just went to one of his strongholds with an indifferent expression. In a secret room, he wiped a crystal clear magic crystal ball on a dusty table.
Sethis poured his spirituality into it, and after a long time, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" appeared on the "Magic Crystal Ball".
"Lord..."
Thetis's attitude changed to humility and fear, and he respectfully said to the Lord of Blood Sacrifice:
"I found it. I found where the 'double-faced doll' is..."
"In Sina City, in the obelisk of the [Intellectual] Alchemy Academy..."
"..."
…
Sina City, Triumph Square.
White Antelope Inn.
Luo Xiu sat on the bed. In front of him was a task panel with floating light and shadow.
[Promotion Mission: Praise for Ending Disaster (Hard Difficulty)] has become a "completed" status.
Luo Xiu checked the "Silver Key" in his hand one last time, and after making sure it was safe, he clicked the "Complete" option.
Here he will officially carry out the promotion of [Glorious] "Triple Destiny"!
[Completed the promotion mission: Praise for Ending Disaster (Dangerous Difficulty)]
[You managed to hold on for more than five minutes under the fierce offensive of the "Fourth Fate Path" powerful enemy, "Shadow of Murder" Thetis. You have proven that you do have the potential to go further. 】
[The task is being settled...]
[Get completion reward: basic experience +10300, skill slot +3, skill slot +3, free attribute point +10]
【……】
As the reward settlement page popped up, the environment around Luo Xiu gradually fell into an empty darkness.
…
Luo Xiu Durant, he has once again arrived at the "spiritual sea" full of magnificence and mystery.
