Chapter 8: The Bishop of Wrath
"Time stops!
Before his brain could pause, the idea suddenly came to the "Hunter", but it was too late, and he didn't even have time to do anything before he turned into a "mosquito in amber", frozen in mid-air.
The colors of the entire world were stripped away, and the ashes fluttered like an old picture scroll, and then, the vividness in the hunter's sight was restored, gold, black, green, red, etc. were re-rendered, and his body also moved.
"Move?"
He didn't think soberly, how could he see himself moving?
In fact, before encountering "Time Stop", he was still lucky, thinking that he had several extraordinary items on his body that were triggered by stress, which should be able to block three or four rounds of attacks within the effect of "Time Stop", and he should be sure to survive.
However, why did he see his body rise into the air, and then fall heavily, and the blue and black light on his body kept flashing, but he was powerless to prevent "him" from falling to the carpet and making a dull sound?
How so?
The "Hunter" looked back in amazement, and found himself translucent, firmly held in the hands of the tall magician.
Your own soul has been pulled out?
Nine Rings Spell?
The "Hunter", who is experienced in fighting magicians, probably understood what was going on, although he didn't quite know what the nine-ring magic was, but after hearing its effect, he knew that it could extract the soul from the body of the recipient!
And all your transcendent items can't stop this weird spell!
Finished!
He knew that he no longer had any ability to resist.
Douglas was not merciful, did not hesitate. The pale flames in his hands lit up, burning the "hunters" screaming in pain, as if they had been pierced into their bodies by countless fine needles, stirring back and forth!
At the same time, he saw the Holy Light of the "Substitute" on the opposite side, canceling out a spell effect, but the diminutive magician also got rid of the "Time Stop" and raised his hand to turn him into a gray stone statue before the "Substitute" could react!
Fernando himself is also affected by the "Time Stop" effect. But he was prepared. So it's much faster than the "agent" to react.
According to the plan formulated by the two, Douglas mainly dealt with the eighth-level "Hunter" within the time-stop effect, and used his spare strength to consume a life-saving item of the "Substitute" and weaken his magic resistance. And after Fernando recovered. Regardless of the others. Attack only the "Agent".
In a situation where knights and clergy are not as rich and weird as magicians in life-saving methods, Fernando is fully sure that he can take out the "surrogate" who is caught off guard and cannot escape between two or three spells!
The biggest difficulty in this plan is that Douglas and Fernando need to trust each other, not only trust each other without malicious intent. And trust each other's strength, believe that the other party can effectively complete the task, and now it seems that the cooperation is good, so Fernando's heart suddenly rose to Douglas is still very good and worth believing.
Bang Bang Bang!
Five silver-black magic missiles flew out of Fernando's hand and hit the "Substitute" who had been transformed by petrification, and the "stone carving" made a crisp cracking sound, and cracks spread from the outside to the inside, and then, it quickly collapsed and shattered, stirring up flying dust.
Only two or three seconds had passed since the door opened, but two high-level powerhouses had already been killed, one had lost his soul and had an empty body, and the other had turned into countless rubble.
A prepared magician is always terrifying!
At this time, Benson had not yet figured out what was going on, but only watched in amazement at the change of light and shadow in front of him, while the night watchman captains "Lion" and "Gatekeeper" were stunned, not yet free from Douglas's control.
A faint and deep light shot out from Douglas's fingertips and struck Benson, and in an instant, all his spell effects were gone, and all magic could not be cast.
"Anti-magic ray"!
"Benson!" Fernando turned his head and roared loudly, he turned back to his original form, like the fiercest storm on the sea.
Benson looked at Fernando in disbelief, frightened, frightened and dazed, his ears buzzed, as if he had been thundered, and his mouth kept murmuring: "I, I don't want to ......"
At this time, how could Fernando waste time, and silver-white lightning bolts drilled out of the void and entangled Benson into a thunderball.
The electric spark disappeared, and Benson fell to the ground blackened, only his face was still intact under Fernando's deliberate control, his face full of stunned fear, and his frozen gaze was terrifying.
At this time, the nearby watchman and the night watchman who monitored the entire Inquisition discovered the brief battle through the Divine Array.
"Enemy attack!"
"Lord Agent, enemy attack!"
"Hurry up and inform the Acting Agent, and fully open the Divine Defense Array!"
"It's the Acting Person-sama who has been attacked!"
All of a sudden, the night watchmen, interrogators, and executioners were all running around in a panic, they had never encountered a situation where the headquarters was raided, and they didn't know what Lu Dao should do at all, just according to their normal combat experience, they hid, hidden, and looked for an opportunity to counterattack, while the few sober people could not notify the "surrogate" who had the authority to fully open the magic array, and could only communicate with each other in a daze.
"The Surrogate Lord has been assassinated, go find the 'Hunter'!"
"The Hunter can't be found!"
"Who, who has the authority to make a natural transition after the death of the 'Surrogate' Adult?"
The chaos continued, and it was difficult for Chengping's century-old inquisition to react effectively after the dragons were leaderless, and it took a while for someone to think that he had the authority of the Divine Array—according to the setting of the Divine Array, if the "Substitute" died in battle, his assistant would naturally obtain the permission of the Divine Array.
But by this time, Douglas and Fernando had already left the courtroom, carrying the bodies of the "hunter" and Benson, floating over the court.
"Drop it at the entrance of the square. Fernando said in a calm tone, still roaring.
Two bodies hit the ground. With a flick of Fernando's finger, the hunter's blood flew out automatically, outlining blood-red words on the ground:
"Betrayer, die!"
"Hunter, die!"
At the same time, in the dark rain curtain, Douglas made a move, and four meteors fell from the sky with raging flames, smashing into the second-story building of the inquisition.
Bang!
A violent explosion occurred, and debris flew everywhere. Shockwaves swept around. The small building, along with most of the buildings underground, collapsed and shattered, and most of the night watchmen who had not yet recovered from the chaos were mutilated corpses, with only a few lucky ones surviving.
Since the Inquisition is located underground. There is also a divine array to cut it off. Plus torrential rain like a note. When lightning and thunder roared, and Douglas cast spells such as "Time Stop", the cardinal in the church did not notice it. It was only when the "Substitute" died that he suddenly had a bad premonition.
The cardinal was so frightened that he forgot what to do when the "meteor" fell, but he quickly came to his senses, and while preparing to open the city's defense array, he planned to inform the Glorious Cathedral of the Holm diocese headquarters.
The meteor dragged a long flame tail across the sky, and when it fell into the city, Roland, who was hiding in the air by the darkness and rain, seemed to see the signal to leave, and a ring on his hand jumped out of arc-shaped electric sparks, which had a subtle connection with the magic array arranged by Fernando below.
Then the lightning in the sky suddenly shrank into a beam, and the sky and the earth slashed down in a mighty way, and the silver-white light dispelled all darkness.
Syllable!
The unguided lightning struck the light layer that had just been opened aimlessly, and countless electric snakes scattered and flew in all directions, slowing down the operation of the magic array for a few seconds.
Roland didn't look at the effect he had caused, he turned around and flew into the distance as promised, so fast that he almost reached his own limit, and he flew lower and lower, slowly descending into the forest.
Douglas and Fernando had already disappeared when the meteor appeared.
The torrential rain is still there, and how many traces have been destroyed.
A minute later, another high-ranking powerhouse in the city, the Count of Heavenly Knight Pefors, rushed to the inquisition, and when he saw the ruins that had turned into a deep pit, his expression changed, and he was more surprised and disbelieving.
"Betrayer, death, hunter, death......," Count Pefors muttered to himself when he saw the blood-colored words left by Fernando, "It's crazy, these magicians are so bold that the church will surely be furious...... Hmph, you called me like a dog, I want to see what your expression is!"
He took a deep breath and restrained the smile on his face, as if he didn't think crazy was a bad thing.
The cardinal arrived, his expression stiff and his face pale, as if the Count of Pefors owed him hundreds of thousands of gold talers, and kept whispering angrily: "Damn it! Damn it! I'm going to burn you!"
Many nobles came, saw the scene, no one dared to speak, and kept an awkward silence.
"What are you looking at, don't go after those madmen!" the cardinal snarled.
The nobles hung their heads, hiding their expressions in the torrential rain and darkness.
After another two minutes, the holy light in the church soared into the sky, and the fluctuations of the teleportation array were clearly palpable.
A young man with black hair flew out of the church, he was tall, he was not wearing armor, he had jet-black half-long hair, his dark blue eyes seemed to be a river gushing, and he carried a long sword in his hand.
The cardinal's expression changed, and then he flew over, and said with a little awe, "Your Excellency Ketonia." ”
"I'll go after them. Ketonia looked up at the dark sky, and the rain seemed to slow down suddenly.
............
After meeting at the agreed place, Roland said a little excitedly: "The raid was really successful!"
"I didn't expect the Tribunal's guard to be so relaxed...... Douglas didn't seem to expect things to be so easy and easy.
Fernando kept a good mood and said with a smile: "The black-clawed dog and the idiots of the church must have a good look!"
After a pause, he restrained his smile and said to Douglas, "We'll take you to the union headquarters." ”
"I heard that the union has a ruined floating city?" asked Douglas, slightly curious. (To be continued......)
