"Ho ho ha......"

The strange laughter was suddenly low and then sharp, falling from the sky and pouring out of the ground.

Lin Chen had goosebumps, his scalp was numb, and he was uncomfortable, like countless reptiles wriggling on him.

The little girl was even more unbearable, curled up on the ground with her ears covered, her body trembling.

"It's him ......"

She let out a frightened voice: "That devil ......"

Lin Chen had no good way but to carefully protect the little girl's side and wait for the unknown enemy to appear.

After waiting for a minute or two, Lin Chen finally met his enemy.

The man slowly appeared in the shadows, with an unfaultable and graceful step, dressed in a fine aristocratic evening gown, holding a scepter studded with blue crystals, and wearing a white mask.

On his mask, no face is painted—no eyes, no nose, only a strangely cracked mouth.

Lin Chen threw an insight technique at the other party, and the information obtained was very limited, but it was already very amazing-

Void Bloom Crero (Epic Boss)

Grade:???

Health: ???

Magic Attack: ???

Physical Defense: ???

Magical Defence: ???

Ability: Unknown

Description: Priest from the Church of False Masks, other unknown.

it, epic boss?!

him, uncle!

Lin Chen scolded in his heart, he inexplicably provoked an epic boss who couldn't see the level, and it was especially on the streets of Redwood Town, in a safe area.

Don't?

He chuckled in his heart, and vaguely had a guess that the appearance of this boss might be related to the mission he received - escorting Elaine.

Lin Chen didn't want to believe this kind of speculation in his heart, after all, it was only a C-level difficulty task. Even if he is asked to fight a bronze-level boss, it should have a B-level difficulty, and now where is the C-level difficulty. With his current level and equipment, it would not be too much to say that it was a nightmare-level quadratic difficulty.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down. In the face of a terrifying existence like Clero, he will definitely not be able to fight, and he will definitely not be able to escape. He could only keep an eye on Crero's movements, while hinting to himself over and over again in his mind that this was just a C-level mission, so that he would not lose the intention of resisting, and try to think of a way to break the game.

Crero cast his gaze on Lin Chen, putting great pressure on Lin Chen, and his previous use of insight was known to Krillo in the first place.

However, Krero quickly skipped Lin Chen and shifted all his attention to Elaine beside Lin Chen. And Crero's subsequent behavior just confirmed Lin Chen's guess that he was here for Elaine.

"I didn't expect it......"

He suddenly opened his arms, leaned back, and shouted a little frantically: "I didn't expect it! ”

"Originally, I wanted to create a strange demon, but I selected seven children with bloodline powers, one became the carrier of the demon, one incompetent person died in a nightmare, and the remaining five people will be turned into food."

"I didn't expect that!" He pointed the scepter in his hand at Elaine and laughed wildly, "It is the power of the Holy Radiance, the power of the Nightmare Night, and you are the remnant of the Holy Chant." ”

Lin Chen was silent, quietly watching the other party's crazy performance, and paying attention to every piece of information revealed by the other party.

"Struggling in fear, assimilating ...... in despair"

"Metamorphosis in falsehood, sublimation in absurdity......"

"We will tear the ugly, crush the filth, and bloom in the darkness the fragrance of insatiable beauty, the petals of infinite emptiness, will carry the birth of Elysium, let life be one, and there will never be sorrow and sorrow......"

"Sincerely, beautiful as you wish......"

He suddenly folded his hands in front of his chest: "In the name of the Lord of the Ethereal Spirits, I am willing to give everything I have. ”

"I am the apostle of my lord, the changemaker of the world." Continuing his madness, he pointed his scepter at Elaine and laughed maniacally, "Remnant of the Chant, you will be my soul treasure, the thing that turns the world upside down. ”

Crero was silent, and took a formal step towards Elaine's location.

Don't let Elaine fall into the hands of this madman!

Lin Chen quickly calculated in his heart, the goal of the mission was to escort Elaine back, since the system marked it as a C-level difficulty task, under normal circumstances, it should be very simple to complete.

What went wrong?

Because he didn't complete this task in the first place?

Because he took a detour to meet Lady Polly, and the delay caused them to run into Clero?

Or is it because of this detour that he missed a key to completing the task easily?

In any case, since he has accepted this task, he must do his best, and he must not give up until the last moment.

Even if it's just from Captain Carlo, it's just from an NPC's entrustment and trust.

"I'll protect you." Lin Chen spoke softly at Elaine.

Lin Chen made up his mind that he would never let Clero touch Elaine until he was killed by the boss.

"No kidding!" Lin Chen shouted: "She's not a device, I will never allow you to hurt her!" ”

"Hohaha......" Crillo began to laugh again.

"What do I see? Always a weak and interesting ant? Well? I remember you......" He suddenly restrained his laughter, looked at Lin Chen and said seriously: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank you, it wasn't you who took this little girl away, I haven't found out that she is so special." Her existence alone is more valuable than the other six children. ”

"Ignorant young man, I suddenly appreciate you a little, I can give you a chance, a chance to join our False Mask Church."

"Please give me a moment to think about it."

Lin Chen has never had a good impression of all kinds of church forces, whether they are good or evil camps. However, the situation is stronger than people, and if he refuses directly, he must be looking for death, and he has not yet found a way to break the game, so he can only delay time indefinitely.

However, although his idea is good, the system is unwilling to cooperate.

"Ding!"

"System prompt: Do you want to join the faction [Void Mask]?"

This choice is time-limited, only a countdown of ten seconds, fortunately, the default option of the system is "refuse", and Lin Chen is too lazy to take the initiative to make a choice.

Ten seconds later, Crero's voice became angry.

"You want to stall?"

it!

Lin Chen didn't care, and shouted at Kerero: "I haven't heard of any Broken Mask Church. ”

"You're looking for death!"

Completely enraged, Clero pointed his scepter at Lin Chen.

The blue crystal on the scepter suddenly became dim, and then a dark purple energy ball with electric light was born in front of the crystal and grew rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, seeing that Krillo shook his scepter slightly, the energy ball that was already half the size of Kerero's body suddenly turned into a thunder snake, with the power of tearing everything, and attacked towards Lin Chen's body.

Lin Chen's pupils dilated, and his hair exploded.

There is no way to avoid it!
