Chapter 144 The hunted prey and the hunted hunter (5k1)
"Shadow of Slaughter" Thetis has already brought his body destroyers and blood followers to ambush on the path that "Great Enlightenment" Lockland must pass.
In that conspiratorial gathering, Thetis served as the attendant of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, and he knew the entire content of the plan.
"In the afternoon, Lockland, the 'Great Master' of the Alchemy Academy, will appear on this road. You... wait for him to walk onto the plank road, then go up together and force him to a dead end!"
Thetis ordered to his men. A somewhat human-like "body destroyer" next to him nodded slightly and said: "I will obey your will, Lord Sethis..."
…
——Click, click.
The sound of horse hooves came one after another, coming from a place not far away. The blurry figures of "Great Knowledgeer" Lockland and Lockland's warlocks wearing blue striped cloaks were gradually becoming clear.
When Lockland and the alchemist warlocks walked onto the plank road in front of Sethis' ambush.
——Rustling! Suddenly, countless figures suddenly emerged from the long grass in front and behind Rockland's team. Dozens of blood disciples rushed towards Rockland with ominous scarlet blades in their hands!
"Shadow of Slaughter" Sethis was standing on the highest mountain nearby, watching his blood disciples blocking Lockland's path forward and backward.
On the outer layer, there are still six "three-fold destiny" body destroyers waiting around, eyeing Lockland.
At this time, Sethis has already completed the chanting of the prelude of the forbidden technique [Killing Corpses], and is only waiting for the first wave of extraordinary corpses to appear, so that he can quickly summon the "Killing Corpses" from the flesh and blood of those extraordinary beings. ", suppressing Lockland.
This time, Sethis was prepared.
At this time, Thetis was always on guard against "Great Enlightenment" Lockland, wary of him taking out the "Crazy +" level demon "Broken Star Ring" from before. However, according to the intelligence collected by Sethis recently, it seems that the golem with terrifying destructive power can only attack once in a short period of time.
So, this time, Sethis also saved a hand. He had prepared a considerable amount of extraordinary flesh and blood in advance, in a place where the destructive shockwaves of the "Broken Star Ring" could not reach, so that his forbidden skill of [Killing Creatures] could be fully utilized.
Thetis looked down. At this time, the "blood disciples" and "body destroyers" had surrounded Lockland and his warlock team from inside and outside. The absolute overwhelming number of extraordinary people gave "Blood of Thorns" an absolute advantage from the beginning.
Even though Rockland has the highest combat power in the Alchemy Institute, he is a "fourth level" great alchemist, but the alchemist profession is weak and needs to rely on golems to fight most of the time. He has to face six [Red Lotus] at the same time. 】The body-destroying person with the third destiny will also be in a very disadvantageous situation.
"Come on... Lockland, use your 'Broken Star Ring'..."
"In this way, I can kill you without any scruples..."
"Shadow of Killing" Sethis muttered, the corners of his mouth raised in a subtle arc, and his eyes stared at Lockland's figure feverishly.
He had no idea how he could lose.
…
other side.
"Great Enlightenment" Lockland, he looked around, and many [Red Lotus] Body Destroyers and Blood Disciples suddenly appeared, now surrounding his team.
Lockland could recognize them at a glance. Those were the enemies from the "Blood of Thorns".
In recent times, numerous conflicts have broken out between Lockland and this group of cultists. Even Lockland himself had personally led a team to annihilate no less than four "Blood of Thorns" strongholds, so he was very familiar with their clothing and spiritual characteristics.
Lockland looked at the surrounding terrain again.
This is a narrow area with towering cliffs on both sides. Only the front and back directions are accessible, and these directions have been occupied by the cultists of the "Blood of Thorns".
The cultists of the "Blood of Thorns" have completely blocked the way for Rockland's team to move forward or retreat. In the eyes of this group of cultists, the warlocks they surrounded have become turtles in a jar.
"……snort."
Lockland snorted coldly. He raised his head and looked at the "Shadow of Murder" Thetis, who was overlooking them from a high place on the other side.
"It is indeed you." Lockland said in a deep voice, "You don't think that the 'Shadow of Murder' of the Blood of Thorns can kill me in this way, do you?"
"Haha." Sethis suddenly said with a ferocious smile, "Of course this is worth trying."
Then, Sethis waved his hand, and the blood disciples and exterminators who surrounded Lockland rushed towards Lockland!
For a time, countless violent spiritual surges filled the narrow passage. The blood followers waved the scarlet blood knives in their hands and swarmed towards Lockland, as if they would tear him apart and engulf him in the next moment!
At this time, Thetis was watching from the high ground. He was ready to appreciate how Rockland dealt with the first wave of blood followers.
For this operation, the blood disciples ambushing the surroundings were far more than the first wave of cannon fodder. There are more blood disciples dormant in the dark, waiting for Thetis to give orders.
As long as Rockland uses his trump card "Shattered Star Ring", or these cannon fodder blood disciples can use the human sea tactics to demolish at least two of his "Crazy" level golems, then there will be no loss!
…
However, "Shadow of Murder" Thetis, he could not see the picture he expected.
--boom! Several rays of golden lightning fell from the sky, instantly chopping the blood disciples at the front into flying ash! Then, right behind Lockland, the "alchemists" suddenly raised their arms and threw bunches of golden thunder guns in the direction of the other blood disciples!
"——Uh-huh ahhhhh!!!"
Piercing screams gushed out from the sea of blood disciples. The blood disciples who were pierced by the "Thunder Gun" had a huge, deep and horrifying hole in their bodies. Not a trace of blood flowed out of the inner wall of the wound, but was burned to coke on the spot by the scorching lightning.
Golden fragments of lightning continued to overflow on the remains of the blood disciples. This terrifying blow would not kill these blood disciples immediately, but it would make them seriously injured and on the verge of death, and at the same time, they would continue to suffer huge wounds from the penetrating trauma. Painful torture.
"...What is that!" Sethis' eyes widened.
That is absolutely, absolutely impossible, it will be a method that the alchemist can master!
The next moment, Sethis saw the most incredible scene.
Sethis only saw that behind Lockland, the "Great Master" of the Alchemy Academy, the "alchemists" suddenly took off their blue-striped cloaks, revealing their Their true faces.
They were all wearing the clerical attire of the Holy Court Church and wearing the emblem on their chests that symbolized the identity of the Holy Judge.
They are not "alchemists"!
——They are all "Holy Judges"!
Thetis, when he saw this scene, was stunned for a moment.
How could the Holy Judge appear here!
Sethis' eyes suddenly burst open, and he looked down at the greetings between Rockland and the "Holy Judges" with a dull expression.
"I didn't expect that they would actually ambush here."
Lockland smiled at a "Holy Inquisitor" beside him and said, "Thank you for your timely assistance."
"No need to thank me, this is just our duty."
Next to Lockland, a middle-aged "Holy Inquisitor" smiled lightly and said, "It was Priest Leonard of the church who suddenly recalled us. We were able to get here in time."
"But, having said that, wearing the cloak of the 'Alchemy Institute', we can actually hide it from the eyes of these cultists."
"It doesn't look like the 'Blood of Thorns' is that good!"
"..."
The moment the "Holy Inquisitor"'s words fell to the ground, the "alchemists" behind Lockland all took off their blue cloaks.
Except for the "Great Knowledgeer" Lockland, who is the great alchemist of [Intellect], all the other "alchemists" are all disguised by the Holy Judge of [Glory]! And these Holy Judges are even more carefully selected, the elite among the elites. Among them are eight "Holy Judges" who have reached the third level of destiny, and the remaining half are also the best among the "Holy Judges" who.
The Holy Judges immediately fought back against the blood disciples, and countless golden thunderbolts fell from the sky, instantly chopping a large number of blood disciples into ashes.
One after another, the lives of the "blood disciples" were harvested in an instant. When the remaining blood disciples finally realized that something was wrong, they immediately launched a stubborn resistance.
"——Roar!!!" A violent roar came from behind the blood disciples. Two "body destroyers" as strong as hills suddenly exuded extremely strong and manic spiritual surges from their bodies.
The color of their eyes gradually deepened into scarlet, and they rushed towards the direction of several "Holy Judges" who were harvesting blood disciples.
The next moment, the two Holy Inquisitors noticed something strange here, so they casually threw their golden thunder guns, blasting the blood disciples in front of them into powder, and then ran towards the position of the "Destroyer" on the outer edge.
At the same time, when the surrounding "Holy Judges" had identified their targets, Lockland took out a few pendants and injected his own spirituality into the crystal stones inlaid on the pendants.
After a burst of light and shadow floated around Lockland, two bottles of third-order demon dolls were summoned from the sealed spiritual crystal.
One of the bottles is the "Battle Ram", and the other bottle is Rockland's newly made golem, which is named "Stone Fire".
"Besieging Ram" and "Stone Fire" are both "Crazy" level alchemy golems.
The "Battery Ram" then rushed in the direction of a "Body Destroyer". During the sprint, it had already raised its round metal arm, and its huge iron fist began to rotate rapidly to accumulate power for the punch.
As for the other third-level demon doll, "Stone Fire", a pitch-black hole appeared in front of it. This hole is constantly accumulating terrifying energy, and something may spurt out of the hole at any time.
--boom! ! !
After completing the short-term energy storage, the dark hole in front of "Stone Fire" suddenly spewed out a violent stream of scarlet light from the center!
The coverage area of this flow of light is huge, and all the "Blood of Thorns" blood disciples on the path were instantly blasted into powder by this scarlet flow of light!
…
"Lochlan! What kind of golem is that?!"
Sethis, who was watching from a high place, suddenly looked frightened and exclaimed.
Of course he didn't know that Lockland's newly made demon doll "Stone Fire" used the technologies of "Black Devouring Runes" and "Rotten Bone Alchemy" on its body!
Although the "Saed's Notes" is a incomplete version, Lockland, as the "Great Knowledgeer" of the Alchemy Institute, naturally has his own means to reproduce part of the incomplete forbidden knowledge.
Although the performance of the created creation is still far inferior to the original version, it is still much more powerful than ordinary alchemical creations!
What Sethis didn’t know was that in the past month, “The Great Master” Lockland had also prepared more trump cards, no less than those of the “Broken Star Ring”, all of which came from Due to his in-depth study of the forbidden knowledge recorded in "Saed's Codex".
--boom! ! !
"Stone Fire" once again completed its charge, and a terrifying stream of scarlet light shot out from in front of it, blasting all the vampires on the other path into powder, and also blasted through the body of a "Body Destroyer" lower abdomen.
The body-killer howled miserably, and then fell straight down. When a "Holy Inquisitor" not far away saw this, he casually added a thunder gun to the body of the body-killer here, blasting the body of the body-killer into ashes, leaving nothing behind. A trace of flesh and blood remains.
At the same time, the "Battery Ram" had also rushed in front of a Body Destroyer. It had already completed the charge of its punch, and the powerful punch was blasted towards the Body Destroyer's body!
——Boom! An extremely violent wind suddenly blew around the "battery ram". The "Body Destroyer" who was bombarded by it from the front survived, but on the left scaled chest, there was a deep hole dripping with blood!
"Ho ho..." The body-killer who was bombarded, his throat rolled twice, making a difficult sound, and then he lost control of his body, and his huge body was like a crumbling high wall. fell down.
…
This was an almost one-sided massacre.
"Slaughter", this was indeed the scene that Sethis had envisioned. But he never imagined that the party being massacred would be the "blood disciples" and "body destroyers" he brought with him!
On the high ground, "Shadow of Slaughter" Sethis was stunned, and he suddenly felt dizzy.
"What the hell...what went wrong..." Sethis muttered in a daze.
At this moment, five of the seven "three-fold destiny" body destroyers he brought had been eliminated. Of the only two Destroyers left, one is by his side, and the other is still lingering on the battlefield below. It is only a matter of time before he is eliminated.
As for those "Holy Judges", the way they kill "Blood Apostles" and "Body Destroyers" completely uses the holy techniques of "Thunder of Judgment" or "Holy Flame"!
These holy spells completely destroyed the bodies of vampires and body-killers, leaving almost no flesh and blood left on the battlefield for Sethis to use [Killing Corpses]!
"..." Sethis looked at the battlefield below and felt his eyes bursting.
Suddenly, Thetis gritted his teeth.
He made up his mind and prepared to make a desperate move, sacrificing the extraordinary flesh and blood he had prepared in advance, and forcibly summoning the "Slaughter Skeleton"!
This is the only way to save the situation in Sethis' eyes.
He then raised his arms forward, preparing to connect his spirituality with the flesh and blood of the extraordinary beings he had prepared in advance.
However, suddenly, Sethis felt a sharp pain in his back.
He lowered his head and saw the tip of a dagger suddenly poked out of his heart, and blood was dripping from his wound!
Thetis turned around suddenly, and his right hand turned into an illusory fog knife, slashing at the enemy who launched a sneak attack at him.
--clang! The heart-wrenching sound of gold and iron hitting each other burst out from mid-air. A black shadow flew out due to Sethis's slash, and was dragged back for more than ten meters before it could stabilize itself.
That black shadow was the person who sneaked up on him... Sethis thought, and he guessed that he had never seen him.
After knocking away the black shadow, Sethis raised his spirituality and examined the severity of his injuries.
Although this blow pierced his heart, Thetis did not panic because he did not have only one heart. The opponent's attack on him did not make him feel spiritually threatened, which meant that the other party's extraordinary level should be lower than his own.
But Thetis was surprised that the other party could approach him silently.
"...Who are you?" Sethis asked the other party in a deep voice.
But the shadow didn't respond to Sethis' question. He just retreated suddenly, and his figure disappeared from Thetis' sight after a moment.
"Inexplicable enemy..." Sethis frowned.
He then opened up a layer of spiritual perception to prevent anyone from launching a sneak attack on him again. Afterwards, Sethis turned back and prepared to cast the forbidden skill of [Killing Living Corpses] again.
However, at the moment Thetis turned around.
Sethis's pupils suddenly shrank!
In Sethis' field of vision, he suddenly saw a wolf with deep purple flames burning all over his body. Like a ghost, he suddenly appeared in front of him.
In his haste, Sethis had no defense.
The demon wolf suddenly lunged towards Thetis' face, and Thetis subconsciously raised his arms to block it.
But the demonic wolf didn't seem to have any entity. It passed directly through Sethis' arm and got into Sethis' face!
The demon wolf disappeared in front of Sethis' eyes, and was replaced by waves of severe headaches, flooding Sethis' mind.
A strange neighing sound began to echo in Sethis's ears, as if he was in a sealed iron cage, and he heard the desperate cries of countless dying people.
"...This is...what's going on!"
Sethis's hands were firmly pressed on the sides of his head. There were more and more fine bloodshot eyes in his eyes.
What he didn't know was "Shadow of Murder" Thetis.
On another high ground not far away, a pair of eyes were watching him closely.
Thetis before was still watching the battlefield below.
But he didn’t know that he was obviously not the only one “waiting and watching”!
