Chapter 16: The Pretender

"The power of God...... Holy Messenger...... Kill you! Shadow said angrily in a voice that no one else could hear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After being knocked away by a punch, the masked figure twisted in an eerie arc in the air, landing on the ground as light as a cat. After landing, his body underwent a strange change, and a pair of sharp horns grew from his head.

"Half-human?" There was an exclamation from the audience, but their worship of the masked figure was gone. In this world, humans, beasts, and elves usually do not have love, but there are special circumstances that lead to offspring between them, and offspring between different races are called half-humans.

Half-humans are mule-like creatures, infertile and unstable, with some absorbing the strengths of both parents and becoming geniuses, while others are a complete collection of shortcomings. The appearance of a half-human is composed of two races and half of each of the parents, and it is difficult for those who don't understand it to distinguish the difference between humanoid monsters such as Harpy and half-human. But there is no doubt that half-humans are dark creatures that should not appear in this world, and their birth is sinful.

But then, the Shadow's mask was removed, revealing its sharp fangs.

"Orcs!" The people exclaimed again, this time with disgust in their tones. Orcs and humans have an interracial hatred, and basically meeting is a fight, so when people decide that Xia Ying is an orc, some strong people are going to kill him.

However, before they could do it, the Shadow broke his clothes, and now, his identity was finally completely exposed to people. It was crumpled like new skin after being burned, and there were rows of spikes on the skin, no orc of any race would have such a disgusting appearance.

At this moment, everyone was choked by fear, and the memories and stories passed down by their ancestors flowed in their veins, making people want to flee for a moment, even though many were stronger than Xia Ying.

"It's the pretender! Close the Colosseum! With an order, a hemispherical protective field instantly rose in the dueling arena, which was impossible for even a seventh-level professional to break. But even though the protective field was raised, everyone's uneasiness still did not subside.

The catastrophe brought about by the abyss demon invasion 10,000 years ago was continuous, and the savior gods did not completely eliminate the influence left by the demon when they drove the demon out of the Divine Grace Continent. When the army of abyssal demons was just driven out, some demons were still left in the Divine Grace Continent, living in the shadows. They knew that their existence would be discovered and killed sooner or later, so they kept sending curses outside.

Humans, orcs, elves, and sea tribes who fall under the curse will be infected by demons. After being cursed, although they are no different from normal on the outside, their hearts have been taken over by demons. These guys are called pretenders, and when attacked by pretenders, they will also become pretenders, and each of them has a common purpose, which is to disrupt the order of the continent and take the opportunity to open the door to the abyss again.

Because the impostor could not be distinguished by appearance alone, people began to be suspicious of each other, no longer trusted, and even seriously framed each other. In the process, countless tragedies have been caused, and the mainland has been plunged into a whirlpool of confusion and suspicion.

In such chaotic times, the Holy See, the only Holy See on the continent at that time, found a way to identify the impostor. Since God is in charge of order and is the natural enemy of chaotic demons, the power of God can make the impostor appear ugly.

After the Holy See discovered this, all the clergy who could borrow divine power immediately participated in the cleansing of the pretenders, and those who participated in this holy war were called the priests, and the holy envoys at that time shone in the holy war, so the holy envoys were called the chosen ones.

In the end, the priests fought against the demons that remained on the continent and the pretenders they created, and finally, after a great sacrifice, the demons on the continent were all destroyed, and most of the pretenders were eradicated, and everyone thought that the pretenders no longer existed.

However, in the underground gladiatorial arena of Wanli City, the pretender who once plunged the world into panic reappeared in front of the world. What special abilities he has, what he relies on to infect others, none of this is known, if he is infected, he will be ruthlessly purged from the Holy See! So no one dares to take risks, and no strong man dares to go up and touch him, so it's best to lock him up...... Even if there was an innocent high-ranking martial artist trapped with him.

"Teleport." Luo Rin activated the ability of the ring, and suddenly Luo Rin disappeared from the spot, and then appeared on the inner wall of the protective shield.

This shield can be used to trap a level 7 professional, naturally it will not leave any flaws, and ordinary space jumps cannot pass through. In other words, Luo Rin couldn't hide at all, maybe he should discuss with the pretender to get along safely, and help him escape when the people from the Holy See came.

But regardless of whether this will become the target of public criticism, the pretender obviously has no intention of getting along with Luo Rin safely, even if he fights for his life, he will drag Luo Rin to die together. Because Luo Rin broke his disguise with a random punch, there was only one kind of person who could do this, and that was the Holy Messenger!

Even if other clergy could use the power of the gods, they were limited and could not be used on people they met for the first time in the gladiatorial arena. Only the Holy Envoy, after reaching the high level and receiving the gift of God, the attributes of the source power on his body are converted into the attributes of his god, which means that their source power is equivalent to divine power to the pretender.

Therefore, the Holy Envoy is definitely the pretender's biggest enemy, and the Holy Envoy can grow into a tricky powerhouse at the Holy Domain level, so when you find a Holy Envoy who has not fully grown, you must kill it at all costs! The shield opened by the people who were greedy for life and afraid of death was just right for him, because he was not afraid of death at all, and if he could kill the Holy Messenger, he would always be remembered by his companions and demons.

The pretender in the gladiatorial arena dropped his dagger and looked like his corroded nails were growing wildly, emitting a foul smell, and soon, his nails were longer than daggers.

Luo Rin felt that the pretender he encountered was like a zombie in Resident Evil, disgusting and infectious, but the pretender was not comparable to ordinary zombies, he was stronger than Luo Rin!

However, Luo Rin did not feel that he could give up resistance, because Michelle had told Luo Rin the story of the Pretender, and also told him how the Clergy had dealt with the Pretender. If Luo Rin's guess was correct, it would be difficult for the Pretender to touch him until his stamina ran out. And if Xiaoxiao observes carefully enough in the VIP room, and has a tacit understanding with Luo Rin enough to help Luo Rin cheat at the most appropriate time, victory is not impossible.

However, if Xiaoxiao didn't strike at the most opportune time, then Luo Rin would have no chance of killing the pretender. After all, the owner of the gladiatorial arena will not look for it and will not let people go to find the Holy See for help before he is well prepared, because that is equivalent to making the underground gladiatorial arena public, so the gladiatorial arena will not need to be done. And the baby turtle Clay is still asleep after the last time he summoned Krezer.

Luo Rin's chances of survival are one in a hundredth, a rather desperate number.

Luo Rin tried his best to calm himself down, everything about the outside world disappeared from his mind, and now his world was only filled with enemies who wanted to take his own life.

Suddenly, the pretender moves, the first step to despair...... It's too fast.
