Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Ancient Covenant! 【First Update】
It's all for the soul. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, whether it is the gods on high, the demons of the bottomless abyss and the demons of Bato's hell, the last treasure is the soul.
For a long time, whether it is Bato's Hell or the Bottomless Abyss, the souls that can be obtained from the River Styx are extremely limited, and most of the high-quality souls have been divided among the gods, after all, the unbelievers are only a small part. And the rest of the souls are all crooked melons and cracked dates, even if they are used, they will not have much effect, so there will be a special existence like [Soul Stealer] in the lower plane. The Grim Reaper has been guarding against the Bato Hell and the Bottomless Abyss for generations, because the responsibility of the Death God System is to maintain the operation of the River Styx and maintain the fate of the soul after death, so the most common opponent of the Death Acolyte's is the [Soul Stealer] from the lower planes.
And now it seems that Naraku is in collusion with the devils.
The underworld has largely fallen into Naraku's grasp, and some undead monarchs have also reached into the underworld, and after the underworld lost control of Kranvo, there is no doubt that the devils have also taken a piece of the pie.
Naraku betrays the interests of the River Styx.
If you want the devil to make a move, you have to pay for them to see the benefits, and preferably in front of them, and now that the devil's army is escorting Naraku's advancement, then the gods can be sure that part of the Styx has been stolen by the devil.
This discovery made the gods a little angry!
Because all the gods follow a basic principle, that is, unless the soul of a particularly good believer, such as a soul close to the level of the Holy Spirit, is sent to the kingdom of the gods by a reaconite of death after passing through the River Styx.
Now!
Who can still trust Naraku's Death Squire? Who doesn't worry about their believers' souls being stolen and desecrated by the devil?
………………
Far East.
Just after the counterattack against the undead began in the south of the continent, many monasteries in the eastern countries also united to eliminate the mummies and the undead.
Some members of the Dragon Witch Cult fled to the Desert of Death, but they did not give up, because Naraku's power was still strong, and they took refuge in the Grim Reaper-Naraku, and captured many subspecies of Wyverns, recreating a group of low-level dragon lichs.
These are puppets controlled by the Dragon Witch Cult, and although their strength is a little worse, they obey orders.
At this time.
In the vicinity of a barren mountain range, one of the coalition forces from the Eastern Kingdom has approached this mountain range, and the undead in the depths of the desert are awakened by the evil power of Naraku, and the church of Naraku has been spreading near the desert for a long time.
Within these coalition forces from the Eastern Country, the figure of the Maiden Cicada is a little eye-catching, on the one hand, she is too young, standing in the ranks of a group of middle-aged legendary warrior monks, and on the other hand, it is also because she belongs to an emerging strength, this fist master has become famous in the battle to destroy ancient evil things, and is now the leader of the [Night Shadow] warrior monk group. The members of this Order of Warrior Monks are blessed by the Shadow Master, who can master and enhance the use of the special techniques of 'Shadow Hard' and 'Moon Yin Style', which allows them to stealth completely invisibly, and jump into the shadow space to a certain extent, making the Monk's movements more and more erratic.
This is a group of warrior monks blessed by Sauron.
Compared with the past, the cicada has matured rapidly after fighting again and again, especially after becoming the leader of a warrior monk group, and she also has a trace of the aura of a superior person.
The situation in the eastern countries has improved considerably.
After destroying the ancient evils, the remaining enemies are much easier to deal with, the Raksha Demon has been defeated and retreated, and some of the Yin Evil has been resealed, and the only thing that is more troublesome at present is the army of mummies, and the Grim Reaper-Naraku has awakened many ancient mummies, and some ancient pyramids even have mummies older than the Arcane Empire that are sealed.
This time the battle was crucial.
Underneath this place is the Great Temple of Naraku, a base camp for awakening and resurrecting the dead.
There are standards for the size of the shrines that serve the gods.
The lowest level is the altar, then the altar, the temple, the temple, then the great temple, and then the giant temple, and as for the pantheon, it has not yet appeared in the material plane.
The altar is simple.
It can be activated by setting up a blood sacrifice, and the altar is a little more cumbersome, at least you need to pray for a while. Then there is the temple, which is where the gods respond and prayers and sacrifices are made over and over the years. Temples of the gods of the gods usually only appear in towns and cities, and their construction takes years, and often lasts decades before they are covered with divine brilliance.
The temple is the official base of the church.
A temple is equivalent to half a wizard's tower, and most temples take decades or hundreds of years to build, so these temples tend to easily change locations.
Finally, there is the Great Temple, such a place must be shrouded by a trace of divine thoughts, just like the Great Temple of Sauron, what is happening inside can be easily perceived, and the Great Temple itself is equivalent to the core base camp, and the statues in it are all possessed by the gods themselves.
At the moment, even Sauron has only one Grand Temple, and it is only in the heart of the city of Mordor.
Other than that, the highest level in other places is the temple level.
The destruction of any large temple by the enemy is a serious blow to the gods, and even directly weakens the power of the gods and the church to some extent.
So, the defenses here are just as strong!
Naraku's collusion with the devil has caused too much hostility, and not only the Eastern Realm has launched a counteroffensive, but other places are also looking for and destroying Naraku's temple.
At this moment, at the top of the mountain range ahead, hundreds of dragon lichs hovered in the sky.
This place is guarded by the remaining members of the Dragon Witch Cult, and in addition to the believers of the Naraku Church, there are also some demons.
"We, the White Cloud Sect and the Shadow Sect, can be responsible for the raid."
A fist master with gray eyebrows sat on a chair and said to the other monasteries and forces present, "But those dragon lichs are very difficult, and it is difficult for them to deal with these enemies when they fly in the air. ”
Monks can take off and fly for short periods of time, but that requires learning the 'Ethereal Body', which most monks can't do.
The others also frowned when they heard this, all the forces gathered here were the forces of the Eastern Country, and among them, the monastery occupied the mainstream, and the warrior monks were strong on the ground, but it was difficult to say in the sky.
There was a short pause.
Then the fist master turned his gaze to the Dongfang Emperor Ji on the right, and said slowly: "I think that of all the people here, only Lord Emperor Ji has the means to deal with these dragon lichs. ”
The eyes of the elders of many monasteries lit up when they heard this.
Dongfang Emperor Ji fell silent, and only after a moment did he say, "Yes." I will summon ancient allies to deal with them. ”
