Chapter 24: The Demonic Monastery III
The invisible arcane barrier was lifted by Lilith the moment Finn swung his sword and jumped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dazzling glare of the flash technique unexpectedly took away the cultists' vision for a moment, and the moonlight sword in Finn's hand took advantage of this moment to land and swept away, the streamer's sword blade drew a wide arc forward, and the terrifying screams suddenly stacked up, and several middle-level believers of the Demon Husbandry Sect stood in a row in a formation, causing them to suddenly be like a scythe sweeping straw, except for one person, almost all of them were cut down by Finn's sword at the same time.
The cultist wizard who had been the first to recognize Lilith's arcane barrier was fortunate to be witty, and when the bright light from the flash stinged his eyes, he threw his head back and fell down, and the moonlight sword in Finn's hand slashed all his companions around him for a moment, and the trajectory of the blade swept past his eyes as he leaned back, and although the wind from the blade made his hair stand on end, he lay on the ground with the short wooden staff in his hand and survived.
"Damn Templar!" The surviving cultist wizard raised his gaze, the elbow of his left arm propped up on the floor of the corridor, and his hateful gaze fell on the young paladin standing in front of him, "Die, die, to hell with your god of justice!" ”
Cursing viciously in his heart, he immediately fell to the ground and raised the wooden short staff in his right hand to Finn, wanting to take advantage of Finn's empty spell casting sneak attack that was not thorough enough to collect a sword just after swinging a sword, and said in his heart that destruction is above, although he is not as good as the four patriarchs and those high-level believers such as the poppy priestess, but casting a spell at such a close distance can't kill an ill-prepared holy warrior, right?
Then don't scruple too much.
Choice of spells...... Death Entanglement, just use the Death Entanglement of the Three Rings!
Prepare to cast now!
Through the knowledge in his mind, he recalled the structure of this spell, communicated the law authority formulated by the god of magic, Majik, for the mortal world, and began to chant as quickly as possible...... Wait, what's the deal with that white shadow?
Something seems to be flying over?
The fallen cultist wizard was stunned, and the white-feathered owl demon pet Pol shot Lilith in the face like an off-string arrow, the sharp raptor's claws leaving a deep blood mark on each of his two wide eyes, and then flapped its wings and flew high into the ceiling of the basement corridor, and the episode took less than a second.
"Ahh
The next moment, the evil Shepherd wizard let out a scream, his bulging left hand clenched his blind eyes in pain, and the short staff held in his right hand pointed blindly forward, only to be struck by a wall on the side of the corridor because his body trembled.
He then felt the sole of a boot stomp mercilessly on his face, the spiral-shaped tip of the sword piercing through his chest with a hot temperature, and the scorching flames poured down the hard blade into his heart, burning his last breath in his dying throes.
"Well done, Pol." Finn applauded the fat owl for what he had just done, then hunched over and pulled out the sword of fire that had been stabbed into the chest of the cultist wizard, and looked around to make sure that all the enemies in the corridor had been cleaned up by himself and Lilith.
The straight hallway was now stained red with the blood of the cultists, and the floor of an area beneath Finn and Lilith's feet was neatly lined up at each short distance on either side of the walls where the cultists rested and a cage used to hold Cerberus, at the end of both directions was a stone staircase connecting the surface world, and on the other side was a closed iron door, the back of which led to the underground hall where the Magimers had lurked during this period.
If he remembered correctly, he was sure that the shepherd priestess known as "Poppy" was hiding in the underground auditorium behind the iron door.
……
The status of the Demon Shepherds in the sect is divided into the lowest, lower, middle, high, and four patriarchs of equal rank.
In the eyes of the Patriarch and the upper believers, the lower and lower members of the sect were regarded as defective products who were not qualified to prove their worth to the Dragon of Destruction, and this type of people were assigned to the command and management of the middle level believers within the organization, and through the tongues of the middle level believers, a message was conveyed to them, that is, only by carrying out the orders of the organization without fear of death, the eyes of the Dragon of Destruction could see the piety of the bottom and lower believers, and the bottom and lower believers would have the most basic qualifications to advance to the middle level of believers. By completing the trials bestowed by the Patriarch and the High Believers, express your passion to the Dragon of Destruction, Nasarian.
That's why every shepherd is not afraid of death - not that they are not afraid of death, but that their fear of death is suppressed by a high degree of religious fanaticism.
Above the bottom and lower level believers, the middle level believers are a backbone force that cannot be ignored in the Demon Pastor Sect, and the number of this type of sect is about 30% of the total number of bottom and lower level believers, and it is more than several times the number of high-level believers.
The middle-level believers are responsible for managing and directing the low-level and lower-level believers to participate in various tasks and actions within the church, and at the same time are under the direct leadership of the high-level believers or the four patriarchs, some of whom are still just high-level cannon fodder who survive from the lower-level believers, and some of them stand out from among their companions, and are promoted to high-level believers by one of the high-ranking believers or patriarchs who are responsible for leading them in the religious actions that the shepherds call trials, and have since forgotten their past names. A nickname given by the Patriarch was used as a new name for service to destruction.
"Poppy" is the nickname given to a high-ranking female believer by the poisonous vine, one of the four patriarchs of the Demon Pastoral.
The high-ranking followers of the Demon Pasture Sect are undoubtedly the elite class within the organization, and the number is always maintained at about a hundred, and every twenty or so people are divided into a relatively independent group to follow one of the patriarchs of the Demon Pastor Sect who is worshipped by them.
Poppy, who served as a priestess under the command of the poisonous vines, had been sent to lurk in the woods outside Perades a few months earlier with a group of lower-middle-class believers.
She had been told by the poison vine that the Demon Shepherds would soon hold a feast of unprecedented proportions, and that she and the believers who had come with her would play an extremely important role in the arrival of that feast, so she was indeed hiding in the underground hall behind the iron gate with several mid-level believers who had gathered around her, as Finn had expected, and had obviously never expected that Finn and Lilith would find this place so unexpectedly tonight, and attack it like a devastating one.
