Volume 1 The First Things to Do When Entering the Adventurer's Guild Chapter 11 The Angry Saintess

Although it has deviated from the original direction, everyone has not much choice but to continue to move forward. But then again, there's no right direction in this foggy barrier, so it doesn't really matter where you go. The wolves followed them closely, neither attacking nor leaving. That's probably what the so-called desperate situation is.

Depp and Yass Langley are always on the lookout for the wolf behind them, and Hopler is responsible for dealing with the danger in the fog ahead. The road may be a street leading from the town market to somewhere in the surrounding area, but no one knows where it will lead.

"Is that a street sign?" in the fog, Lott overheard a sign standing across the street in the distance, and he immediately pointed to the sign to alert everyone.

The sign was too far away to be read, Depp asked the ghost to go over and check, and quickly got a response: "It's indeed a street sign, I know where this road leads." ”

"Where?" asked Lott curiously

Depp looked at the saint on the side, "Yass Langley, I think you'll like the next place." ”

"What?" the saint turned to look at him.

"The road leads to the church in the town. Depp pointed forward, "And it's close." ”

"Church!" everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard this word, although they were in a desperate predicament and surrounded by ruined scenes, just hearing the word church still gave people a surge of hope in their hearts.

"Church!" Although the saint also understands that the church does not represent anything in this case, this is the so-called spiritual comfort, "Hopler, hurry up, I want to confirm the situation of the church as soon as possible." ”

In fact, there is no need for her to say, everyone has unconsciously quickened their pace, no matter at any time, the church is a place worth resting against, although the two teenagers have some unpleasant experiences in the church, but in the current situation, no matter how unpleasant the place, as long as it can remind them of the memories of the ordinary time, it is a great comfort.

It didn't take long for them to see the church's iconic spire, "The roof of the church wasn't destroyed?" and Yass Langley couldn't hide her joy

"Will there be survivors?" Rhodes said, pointing to the church, "maybe there's even a rebellion there, with water and food?"

It was only after being reminded by Rhodes that everyone realized that they hadn't eaten for a long time, and the foggy barrier blurred the concept of time, and they didn't know how much time had passed, but it was true that they had hunger. But the three adults weren't optimistic enough to think that there were survivors in the church, but they quickened their pace and rushed to the church.

The church is located in the west of the town, the area is very large, the low fence will be around, there is a large green space in front of the church, there is a garden next to it, it seems that it has received a lot of financial assistance to build, compared to the general town church is much more magnificent, the whole church from the outside about the church has three parts: the church, the dormitory, and the courtyard, it is conceivable that many townspeople should have come here on weekends to seek the guidance of the Father.

Approaching the church, everyone observed that there was indeed no major damage here.

"Could it be that the one behind the scenes is a person who believes in the Church of the Word?" Depp looked at the church in front of him, there was hardly any damage here, and even the garden was neat and tidy, without a trace of dilapidation.

"Fallen clerics?" Yass Langley frowned, "How could there be a priesthood with such terrifying power?"

"An old elven cleric who has lived for thousands of years?" Depp joked.

Yass Langli ignored him, she carefully stepped into the sanctuary, and a familiar feeling immediately surrounded her, not only did she retain her appearance, this power... Yass Langli laughed happily, "Great, the guardian barrier of the church has not been destroyed yet, you guys come in quickly!"

Everyone hurriedly walked in when they heard this, and Yass Langley held up the holy weapon and chanted loudly, "In the name of God the Father, in this holy place, we will be omnipotent!" The holy artifact emitted light, and then the entire land of the church began to glow, and the fog in the church began to gradually dissipate.

"There is no need for my protective word here. The barrier of the Holy Land dispelled the fog in the church area, so you can rest assured. Yass Langli breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't expect the church to be so well preserved.

"Holy Land?" Rod scratched his head, "Is it safe?"

"The Holy Land Barrier is the barrier that every church has to protect the church, in the Holy Land Barrier all the dark and evil forces will be expelled, and the holy power of the clergy will be restored, which is a tradition left after the War of the Dead. The saint explained to Rhodes in detail.

"Are we safe then?" said Rod excitedly as he went inside.

"No!" Lott hurriedly grabbed him, "Don't take it lightly, the safer the place, the more dangerous it may be." ”

"yes," Depp stretched, "I'm not comfortable staying here." ”

"The magic of the necromancer is exclusive to this place," Yass Langli nodded in understanding, "You may be a little uncomfortable with the Holy Land Barrier I activated, but it shouldn't cause actual damage." ”

"I understand, I understand, Hopler, I'm still a little uncomfortable that you're coming to open the door. Depp called Hopler, although he understood these truths, but the unhappiness in Depp's heart always lingered.

And the warrior came back to his senses, "Ah, sorry, this feeling is suddenly a little slack." He grasped the axe with his right hand and carefully opened the door to the temple with his left.

Rows of chairs lined the church, with a pulpit standing in the innermost part, and a man kneeling on the ground in front of the pulpit, as if in a posture of prayer.

When they saw someone, everyone was visibly nervous. Could it really be a survivor? Yass Langli thought about it and denied it, the effect of the Holy Land was triggered by her, and it was still full of fog before, and the person in front of her could never be a normal person. However, in the Holy Land, she could use the Holy Power freely without worrying about protecting the Holy Word, so the Holy Maiden didn't have too many worries in her heart, and she walked directly into the door and approached the man. Delicate armor, pure white clothing, and the sword and shield at hand engraved with the white rose coat of arms of the church, Yass Langley understood that this was a knight. The others saw her walk in and followed her.

"Act in the name of the gods and listen to me. The saint proclaimed in a loud voice

"Don't do anything harmful. The man replied, and the two of them continued one by one.

"Don't look at the image of filth. ”

"Don't listen to the devil. ”

"Do not go near the forces of darkness. Yass Langley is getting closer and closer

"God loves our people and preaches the gospel. The man still didn't get up, he kept his knees and let Yass Langley get so close to him.

"Whoever disobeys the oracle will be punished by God. At this point, Yass Langli had already walked directly behind the knight, she held her left hand high, and the holy spear appeared in her hand, and as soon as she finished speaking, she stabbed at him, and the man did not look back, he also stretched out his left hand and grabbed the holy spear that was stabbing at him.

"The Holy Spear of the Gods...", the man turned his head to look at Yass Langley, "you can't use it casually." ”

Yass Langli suddenly had a sharp pain in her stomach, she looked down and saw that a small holy spear that was only one-third the size of the holy spear was inserted into it, this was the third time that the same part was injured in a short period of time, and the severe pain made the saint fall to her knees, her wound had never really healed, but it had just healed the surface with holy power in a hurry, and this time the wound was even more serious.

Hopler hurried up and lifted her back, Depp put on a vigilant posture, the knight was not in a hurry, he picked up his sword and shield, slowly stood up, and then turned to look at everyone.

"Do you remember who you are?" Depp asked him cautiously

"Necromancer, it's so hard for you to stay in this 'holy place', I'm a Templar. The man danced his sword and pointed his sword at the crowd, "I forgive you for your sins in stepping into this holy land, and if you leave now, I will not embarrass you." ”

The wound in her stomach healed again, and Yass Langli stood up, "Do you know I have a stomach injury?" Unlike the previous times, this time Yass Langli not only recovered quickly, but also looked a lot more relaxed.

"We are the source of the fog and can understand each other's states and cognitions through the fog communication, although we are different individuals, but the fog connects us. The knight explained, "Holy Maiden, if your stomach is wounded again, the Holy Force may not be able to heal her completely. ”

"Sure enough," Yass Langley laughed

"Let's leave. I just want to protect this holy place now, I don't want to fight you, and you'll end up with me anyway. ”

But Yass Langley shook her head, "It's you who should leave." ”

"The body of 'False Chanting' told me the name of your Holy Energy," the knight pointed at Yasz Langli with his sword, "Holy Maiden, now that I have an immortal body, I can also use forbidden arts at will, and your forbidden arts can't kill me, you don't even know what my holy energy is, you have no chance of winning." ”

This sentence seemed to touch something, Yass Langli's face froze suddenly, at first it was a puzzled expression, then she smiled, and finally the expression on Yass Langli's face disappeared. This appearance is very similar to when she interrogated Rod and Lot, she originally thought that the holy, beautiful, gentle and pious saint would never put on this face again, but now she really made people feel that cold aura, and Yass Langli did not have any expression on her face. The holy woman's body began to glow, and the holy weapon in her right hand became brighter and brighter, "It seems that I have been underestimated by you since I entered this enchantment, but I can't blame you, I really can't play it well." Yass Langley's voice was as cold as ice, "I'm not good at protecting the Word, but, Knight, do you really understand what 'false chanting' means? The saint turned sideways to confirm the position of her companions.

Hopler and Depp hurriedly pulled the boy out of the temple while Yass Langley was talking.

"Is it okay to leave Lord Yass Langley there like this?" Rod was a little worried

"You should be worried about the Mist Knight. Depp kept smiling and looked inside the sanctuary, "Didn't that face remind you of any unpleasant memories?"

When Depp said this, Rod couldn't help but shudder, that feeling he never wanted to experience again in his life.

Outside the temple, Hoppler put his axe on the ground, "Little ghosts, she's ranked 'sixth' in the church, and this is not something that can be obtained casually. ”

"She used a powerful healing word when she was injured just now, and it seems that the wound has healed completely. It seems that on this holy land, she can really use her full strength. Depp looked at all this and couldn't help but shake his head, "Angry Yass Langley is not something that can be seen every day, I actually saw it twice in such a short period of time." ”

After confirming that her friends were gone, the saint stretched out her hand and put down her hood, her blonde hair was neatly combed, her hair was not long, and she did not have too many headdresses, only a very simple blue clip, and then she raised the holy weapon in her right hand, and her left hand stretched forward, and the holy instrument began to emit a strong light.

The knight didn't mean to stop her, he just stood still, waiting for her to be ready.

"God of the Father," Yass Langley began to chant, "Please allow me to borrow the power of 'Shining Amdal', and I will seek heresy in your name!" After saying that, an air flow formed in front of the holy woman, and the white robe was blown by the air current, and the blue hairpin on her head was also blown away, and her hair was somewhat draped down. A huge golden light appeared on her left hand, and then a long handle gradually appeared in the light, as the handle became longer, the surface began to appear ornamented, and then the spear head also appeared, and many inscriptions were carved on the tip of the spear, as the various details of the spear tip gradually emerged, the saint held it in her left hand, and the light that was still floating instantly solidified, and a spear shining with golden light was held in her hand. Then the holy weapon in his right hand also turned into a ray of light and injected into the body of the spear, and Yass Langli stood in front of the knight with the spear in both hands.

"This thing looks so powerful," Rhodes, who was lying on the door outside the temple, was stunned

"This is the essence of the holy spear, and the holy woman chanted its true name. Depp seemed willing to explain the battle, "Before, she and the knight summoned nothing more than a small clone of the holy spear. ”

"Do you want me to wait for you?" the knight looked at the saint disapprovingly

"I'm singing especially for you," the saint said, with no expression on her face, "I prefer a sense of ritual." ”

"Come on, I want to see how you can fight without knowing what my holy energy is!" The knight waved his right hand, and the sword began to glow with golden light.

"Why is this knight still able to use holy power even after he has become bad?" Lott saw the light emitted by the knight and was very puzzled

Depp saw Lott ask this question and nodded, "Yes, Lot, that's a good question." The necromancer said and pointed to the Misty Knight, "Betrayal of faith is not just words, but to deny faith from the heart, and to say it clearly in the heart is the depths of the soul. Everyone has a soul, and the soul controls our body. If he denies it in the depths of his soul, then the power given by faith will definitely not be able to be used except for basic swordsmanship skills" Depp first affirmed Lot's idea, but he looked like a teacher and said very verbosely, "Since he can continue to use holy power, it means that his soul has not been defiled, and the soul that originally belonged to this knight still believes in God the Father, and it is the control of his body that has been seized, so this body can still use holy power." ”

Depp said so much, but the teenager on the side didn't pay attention at all, "Got it, got it," Lott casually agreed.

The sanctuary continues

"Power" Yass Langli shouted, and a red light suddenly appeared on her body, and "speed" followed by a green light

The "power" knight also shouted "tenacity" after the holy woman, the difference is that the knight, the second light is blue

"They are really idle," Depp laughed, "moving so slowly, are you afraid we can't see clearly?"

"What are they doing?" Rod asked, too

"Blessing of the Word, a high-level Word that strengthens your body's strength, speed, tenacity, and has the same effect as the Mad Blood, but the effect is less so, but fortunately there are no side effects. Each person can only receive two blessings at the same time, but the blessings can last for a long time, as long as the releaser has enough power to sustain the blessings. Depp answered the teenager's question again, and this time it seemed to be deliberately streamlined.

The two men in the sanctuary finally began to fight, the saint raised the holy spear and stabbed forward, the knight raised his shield to block the spear, and he stabbed the saint with his long sword with his backhand. Yass Langli turned slightly sideways to avoid the stabbing blow, and then she turned around and threw the gun at the knight from the other direction, and the knight raised his shield to block again, but this time it was different, the saint's strength was much greater all of a sudden, the knight's center of gravity was unstable and retreated a few steps, the saint took advantage of the victory to pursue, she kept stabbing the knight with her spear, but the shield blocked her attack.

"Do you like to attack so much?" the knight sneered, and at this time, several small holy spears appeared in front of Yass Langli's stomach, and they stabbed into Yass Langli's stomach, seeing that the sneak attack was successful, the knight smiled proudly, "This is..." But before he could finish speaking, he had to continue to raise his shield to block.

Yass Langli didn't care about his sneak attack at all, even if he was injured in the stomach, the momentum of the attack was still unabated

"Is this your limit?" said Yass Langley looked at the knight with contempt, "Sangen?"

"You!" the knight was enraged by her words, and dozens of small holy spears appeared in the air, all of which stabbed at the holy woman,

However, the Holy Maiden had no intention of dodging, except for avoiding the vital accident, she allowed the Holy Lance to attack, while she continued to attack the knight's shield.

"Yass Langli, it's too messy..."Rhodes was very worried when he saw that the saint was pierced all over her body

"Don't worry, Yass Langli herself must be releasing the advanced healing word now, which is completely different from before in the fog, this is her usual style, attacking and recovering, completely giving up defense. "Depp seems to know the saint very well and knows how she fights.

Depp was right, no matter how the holy spear released by the knight hurt the saintess, the saint's speed was not affected in any way, but he was suppressed and had no chance to fight back, so he could only raise his shield to block.

"Is this your limit, seventy-two?" the saint was still expressionless, and with a stab she struck, the knight was knocked back a few more steps, only to fall to the ground this time with an unsteady center of gravity as he retreated.

"What's going on?" the knight tried to prop himself up, but then he found that his arms couldn't move, and his legs couldn't move, he barely looked up, and a small holy spear was inserted into his joints, "What!" so precise and fast that the knight lost his ability to move in an instant.

"You don't have as many holy spears as I do. Yass Langley lifted a kick and kicked the knight towards the podium behind her.

In the process of kicking away, the holy spear that restricted the movement disappeared, and the knight set up a shield in the air, barely ensuring the landing, but then dozens of small holy spears appeared in the air and pierced the knight together, the knight's shield could not protect the whole body, and the places that were not protected by the shield were pierced, he could only remain motionless to maintain his defense, and the knight roared at this time, and a holy force erupted from the body, scattering the holy spear that was pierced into the body, and then he put down the shield "This is useless to me!"

"Really?" Yass Langley appeared in front of him at some point, she stabbed forward with her gun in one hand, the knight was still able to block it with his shield this time, but the sheer force knocked him into the wall in front of him along with the podium.

"The same blessing of strength, it seems that God has given me significantly more. Yass Langley slowly walked up to the knight, and with a flick of her gun, she knocked the knight back to the side of the wall.

"Hmph, if you rashly attack without knowing my holy energy, it will be your failure" The knight got up from the recess in the wall, he picked up the sword, the sword suddenly soared by two meters, he raised the sword and pointed forward, "Burst." ”。

"I never cared what your divine power was. Yass Langli looked at her feet, this should have been arranged by the knight before she was knocked away, a burst of bright light flashed, Yass Langli didn't move, just waiting for the burst after the chanting, and after a burst of impact, the saint was still standing there unscathed.

"How is this possible?!" the knight looked at the holy woman in disbelief.

"Just because I'm not good at protecting the Word doesn't mean I can't. Yass Langli knocked the holy spear to the ground, like a broken mirror, and the protective holy words around Yass Langli decomposed by itself, "Your holy power should be 'holy word burst'" Yass Langli shook her head, "It looks like a powerful burst, but it can't even break my protective holy word, what's the use?"

"You are a priest who used the 'Thirteen Builds' of a magician, what is there to be proud of!" the knight was not convinced, and he questioned Yass Langley loudly, thinking that she had cheated

"I don't use magic, the 'Thirteen Builds' are just tricks. Yass Langli pointed at him with a spear, and countless small holy spears shot at the knight, who could only raise his shield to block.

"What is the 'Thirteen Builds'?" Rhodes turned his head to look at Depp, who felt that Depp knew everything

"'Thirteen Constructions' is a technique used by magicians, combining thirteen layers of protective enchantments into one layer, the effect is the most solid, much better than blindly stacking enchantments. Although mages and clerics are not allowed to use each other's spells, the 'Thirteen Builds' is indeed just a technique, and it was discovered by the mages first. Depp said and snorted lightly: "This knight is a bit embarrassing." ”

Yass Langli looked at the knight's embarrassed appearance and decided to end all this, she put on an offensive posture, "It's over, your shield can't stop me from this move." With that, she rushed to the knight.

The knight was not reconciled, he swung his sword and slashed at Yass Langli, and a golden light of nearly three meters appeared at the top of the long sword, according to the speed, Yass Langli's spear would be cut before it stabbed the knight, but the saint suddenly accelerated on the way, the holy spear was much faster than the knight's sword, and the spear pierced the knight's shield directly, piercing his body, and Yass Langli nailed him to the wall

"Nail it, repent it!" "Yass Langli plunged half of the holy spear into it, she silently said, and her left hand punched the knight's right hand, and the knight's sword fell to the ground.

"How can you be so fast...", the knight tried to resist, but Yass Langley broke his right hand with another punch, and now he couldn't resist at all.

"Speed blessing, it's just that I played its effect just now, you don't think that the previous attack was my limit speed, right? Yass Langli said, and as soon as she raised her hand, this time the number of holy spears was twice as many as last time, and they all shot at the knight's lower body.

"Hmph, it's useless! Maybe you're strong, but you still can't kill me!" the knight yelled at Yass Langley

"And how about this move?" Yass Langley still had a blank expression, "Burst, Holy Spear." ”

As Yass Langli finished chanting, the holy spear pierced the knight's body began to burst out with a dazzling light, "How is this possible!?" After the strong light, the knight's lower body disappeared like this, there was no impact, and there was no sound, and the knight's lower body was just gone" The holy spear burst itself is part of this forbidden technique, you don't understand the forbidden technique at all. ”

The knight opened his mouth to say something, the mist gradually drained from his body, but there was no blood left, and after a while, the holy woman took the knight down, she sat on the chair next to her and took off the knight's helmet, stroking his hair, Yass Langli released a powerful healing word at the knight's half-body, waiting for the knight to regain consciousness.

"Thank you, Lord Yass Lanley. The knight's eyes finally regained their brightness after a while, "I should teach a good lesson to an unsuccessful fellow like me." ”

"I'm angry, which means that my practice is not enough. Yass Langley shook her head

"Don't say that, I'm much worse than you," the knight's expression was very lonely, and he looked at his mutilated body and suddenly laughed again, "However, it is not something to be sad about right now. ”

"What do you know, young knight?" Yass Langli looked at the broken body, although she had done all this, but now that her enemy had turned back into a young junior, she felt uncomfortable.

"Holy Maiden, I can't tell you what it is. The knight shook his head

"Don't you know, don't blame you...", Yass Langli smiled softly, at least in the end, hoping to give him some warmth.

"I know, but I can't say" The knight lowered his eyes, and Yass Langley saw a gray light condense on the knight's chest "Faith is broken!?" Yass Langli cried out in surprise

"Yes, as soon as I think of that being, I will be 'broken in faith', so I can't tell you, Holy Maiden, that I am afraid that you will have the same result as me. ”

"How could it be..."

"Once the 'faith is broken,' your Word will lose its effect, and there will be no hope of victory at all. The knight's shattered hand recovered under the healing, and he touched Yass Langley's face, "But I believe that you can defeat all the sources of the mist, uncover the face of that being, and leave the rest to your companions, you will surely win." ”

"Is that being really evil?" asked him, and the saint panicked, she had many terrible enemies in her mind, but this was the only thing she had never considered. Broken faith is the shaking of faith in the heart, and the power given by faith will be invalid because of the shaking of faith. It is very difficult to restore faith, it is not just words, it is necessary to re-establish faith in the heart, it takes time, and in severe cases, it may never be recovered, and this situation is fatal in this desperate place.

The knight did not deny the evil, he nodded, "There is no doubt that it is evil, but even if I know, my faith is still shaken, Lord Yass Langley, please do not use the holy word of interrogation, you must not know." The knight begged her, "Stop the treatment now, I have nothing more to tell you." ”

"Are you going to go?" Yass Langley frowned, as long as she used the Interrogation Word now, the knight would definitely not be able to resist, the knight and she both understood this, but... In the end, the saint gave up on the idea and kissed him on the cheek.

"Well, I think I can rest. The knight closed his eyes.

Yass Langley then stopped the treatment, and the knight stopped breathing without struggling or pain after the treatment stopped, and the saint put his helmet back on and carried his mangled body out of the sanctuary.
