Chapter 19: The Great River of Foul Odor

It's a river, a big river, and there's no edge in sight.

And unlike the clarity of ordinary rivers, the water of this large river in front of you glows with a dark green brilliance.

There was no sign of life in the river, and a rich, pungent stench swirled over the river, making people dizzy.

Water is the source of life, but the water in the river in front of you is the public enemy of all life, highly toxic, super corrosive, comparable to the stench of chemical weapons, for normal people, this river is not to be touched, not even smelled!

Smelling it means death!

Edward had already experienced the power of the great river, which could be seen from Edward's half-rotten priest's robes.

The sooner the altar flame was taken, the better, and Edward and Ra had arrived at the river in front of them five minutes earlier.

As soon as he reached the Great River, Edward plunged headlong into the river without the slightest hesitation, and then ...... Then Edward, who was supposed to be a swimmer, drowned.

"Grunt" bubbling in the water.

If he hadn't pulled his eyes and quickly stretched out his claws to fish Edward up, Edward would probably have been in a coma for too long, and triggered the auxiliary officer's compulsory protection mechanism to repatriate and throw him back to Nonorila, if that was the case, Edward would be embarrassed.

And Edward wasn't sure if he would show up in his church with the river in the water. If that is the case, it will be a serious problem, after all, Edward is invincible, but don't forget that there are still a few children in Edward's church, and they can't resist the poison of this foul-smelling river.

"It's too corrosive." Edward looked at this great river with a faint green glow in distress, even if it corroded fibers and metals, Edward's holy power could actually corrode this river!

Edward's body has a holy shield, which is the shield that Edward held up when he first came to the planet Saduon, and it was corroded just now.

Chased by the ember lord-level stone giant, he scurried all over the ground, hammering a big fist and not breaking the body surface holy shield, but it was actually corroded by a river!

This is the root cause of why Edward drowned.

The water of the great river corroded Edward's holy shield covering his body to pieces, and then Edward, who faced the river, was instantly stunned by the foul-smelling river.

That's right, Edward was drowning in a swoon.

How can it stink so much!

It took a while for Edward, who had been pulled up, to come back to his senses, and then he vomited as soon as he could.

It took a while for Edward to recover.

Two bottles of dark green river water were taken from a special glass bottle, and Edward, who had left a heavy psychological shadow, pinched his nose and walked away from the river quickly.

Running to the stone pier on the bank of the river where they were, and feeling the strong wind blowing behind him, Edward immediately took a long breath.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be able to smell your shield of light." Pulling back and looking at Edward with some curiosity, a golden light visible to the naked eye flowed on the surface of Edward's body, and the light of the Holy Shield Technique illuminated Edward's whole body with gold.

"I can't smell it, but as soon as I get close to this river, I feel like I smell it again, I have a psychological shadow, this river is too terrifying." Edward sighed helplessly, now he really wished that he could skyrocket to the sixth order in an instant, or maybe he wished that he was a magician who could change his physical condition.

Not to mention the profession of magician with various magical abilities. Edward, who became a priest, was not qualified to play magic from the beginning.

As for why I say the Sixth Order, it is because the Sixth Order powerhouse means complete control of the physical body, and at this stage, the five senses of hearing, taste, smell, touch, and vision will also be completely controlled by the Sixth Order powerhouse.

Strengthening and sealing the five senses is something that comes easily. If Edward had the ability to close off his sense of smell, then Edward wouldn't have to worry about the lethal stench.

"It smells, does it really stink, I really want to try it." For Edward's helplessness, Ra, as a spirit being, is a little curious, and they have no basis for "smelling" in the beginning of the essence of their souls.

"Trust me, if you smell it, you won't think like that, you'll just want to smoke yourself to death before you said it." Edward rolled his eyes.

"Your Majesty Edward, how are you going to go down to the river? You have to see the altar fire with your own eyes and get close to a certain range to collect it, right? ”

"That's right." Edward nodded slightly, looking at the dark green river water in the glass bottle in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.

According to the clues provided by the King of Sweepers, there is a large Sweeper Altar at the bottom of the great river in front of you.

The altar was in sight, and if he could, Edward would certainly like to be able to take the underwater altar's fire immediately.

But the problem is that Edward is helpless now, and if he doesn't solve the stench problem, Edward can only look at the river and be anxious.

After all, it's not Edward's cleanliness, but Edward's really can't stand the smell, and Edward can't help it if he smells it.

It is no wonder that the King of Sweepers marked the altar of this place with the mark of "difficult to obtain", and the three old priests could only look at the river and sigh when they saw this altar.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Edward looked towards the center of the river.

In the middle of the river in the distance, huge splashes of water exploded on the river from time to time, and you could see crocodile-like embers rushing out of the spray and being blasted into the sky by powerful attacks.

Looking up at the dim sky, dark green flames fell like flowing arrows, sinking into the river one after another, and finally turned into terrifying lake monsters.

A terrible breath came from the river, and the black and dark green figures under the river continued to intersect, bringing up waves after waves.

In this foul-smelling river, nearly a thousand sweepers are battling tens of thousands of embers!

Battlefield, that's right, this big river in front of Edward's eyes is a battlefield!

A massive battlefield of sweepers and embers!

The embers erupted on a global scale, and the river in front of Edward's eyes was of course a major battleground.

Fortunately, Edward and they stood relatively far away, otherwise they would have been affected into the battlefield!

The power of the soul in the great river is constantly stirring, and the sweepers under the river are in a rather dangerous situation.

There are too few sweepers, and there are too many embers after the Plague of Embers!

The sweepers were retreating, and Ra and his companions were anxious in their eyes.

I want to join the battlefield to help my compatriots, but I want them to know better that Edward is the key to solving the current crisis, and it is more important to protect Edward than to join the battlefield!

Edward took a deep breath and stopped paying attention to the battle in the center of the river, his eyes resting on his hands.

Taking out a bottle of river water that he had just taken from the river, a golden shield light curtain quietly appeared in front of Edward.

Holy Shield!

Edward did not hesitate, and the dark green water in the bottle was poured by Edward on the newly appeared shield.

The next moment, only a piercing "whoosh" was heard, and Edward's Holy Power Shield was corroded rapidly, and almost in the blink of an eye, the Holy Shield shattered!

Edward silently counted the seconds in his heart until the holy shield dissipated, and his face became a little iron-blue, for a second, a holy shield could only last for a second!

Taking a deep breath and narrowing his eyes, Edward turned his head to look at Ra beside him, and made a decision in his heart.

"Pull, with my current ability, I can only last underwater for about 10 seconds, can you make me see the fire in less than 10 seconds?"

Edward was able to release a five-layer holy shield in front of him, and if he increased the output of holy power, he should be able to count him as one layer for a second, and with the last increase in strength of the auxiliary officer, wouldn't it be exactly ten seconds.

Ten seconds is Edward's full strength at the moment, and there is only one chance!

The dark green water has outrageous low visibility, and in such a situation, Edward had to get at least five meters away from the fire!

La was stunned for a moment, looked at the vast river, and shook his head directly: "10 seconds? Launching from here is definitely not good, ten seconds is not enough. ”

Ra looked at the center of the fierce battle in the distance, and gritted his teeth: "...... There is only one way to do what you want, to go down directly above the tinder, the speed must be fast, the water is very deep! ”

Going down directly above the tinder? Edward's expression was solemn.

Edward knew exactly what Ra meant, which meant that they had to cross over the battlefield, and it was no joke, at least Edward was sure that the embers hidden under the river could not easily fly over their heads.

Edward turned to look at Dahe, his eyes narrowed slightly: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there is only one way. Then prepare, there is nothing to hesitate, there is only one chance to pull us! By the way, pull, if I faint again later, you remember to fish me to shore. ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, dizzy is definitely going to dizzy, listening to the meaning of Ra's words, it would be good for him to be able to touch the fire in ten seconds, what to do when he returned to the city, he didn't have to think much about it, it was estimated that he was already dizzy at that time.

Edward thought so, and at that moment, Edward's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of such a text flashing on the orb of divine consciousness on his shoulder.

[Real-time: Beatrice gets the Sweeper Altar Flame No. 003!] 】

"Huh? The first one was Beatrice? ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Edward's eyes, as the lowest professional level and the youngest of the three people Edward summoned, Edward was actually not very optimistic about Beatrice.

Edward even had the idea that the most likely of the three of the old priests to ask Edward for help was Beatrice!
