Chapter Eighty-Five: Infiltration
Nearly a kilometer away from the ranger's hut was a tall black fir, and in its dense dark green canopy, there seemed to be a hazy and vague figure.
After the "Larnaca Gorge" had set up a message, Lucien arrived, quietly and cautiously waiting for the collision of the church and the silver horn.
With Lucien's own strength, he didn't dare to approach the ranger's hut at all, for fear of being directly discovered by the cult.
At this time, Lucien was wearing a black robe, the hood covered his entire face in the darkness, his hands were covered with a layer of frosty moonlight, propped up on the branches, so that his body swayed with the shaking of the leaves, and the eyes in the shadow of the hood were focused on the direction of the ranger's hut.
"Ninety meters northwest of the ranger's cabin. ”
As the light was intercepted, the Black Forest a kilometer away began to light up with various lights from time to time, dominated by pure holy light, scorching flames, black shadows, cold white lights, etc.
Lucien kept his concentration and calm, looking at these "fireworks" expressionlessly, and when they became more and more concentrated, he nodded lightly and said, "It's starting to converge, and the surroundings leave me room to dive into." ”
While judging, Lucien looked in the other direction: "She should have discovered such a movement, after all, the distance is not too far, and there is no mountain peak in the middle." ”
The "Holy Codex" in the hands of the "Book Holder" kept turning, and the "Flame Strike Technique", "Killing Technique", "Serious Injury Technique", "Level 5 Angel Summoning Technique" and so on emerged in an endless stream, almost leveling the Black Forest within a radius of five hundred meters, and several dark knights died under his magic without any resistance, and all the reconnaissance arrays and traps arranged in this range were also destroyed by force, so that the high priest in the "underground palace" could no longer control the nearby situation.
The fifth-level bishop, close to the high-level spellcaster, fully demonstrated his terrifying destructive power, and what is even more frightening is that in the "Holy Codex" turning, when the canon holder directly casts the spell, often a holy light lights up, and a night watchman who has just been seriously injured immediately recovers and kills his enemy.
A priest who has mastered the art of healing is a blessing for all his companions, and a nightmare for all opponents, after all, when he finally killed the enemy quickly, he suddenly got rid of his injuries and regained his full combat strength in full blood, then whoever he is will definitely become more and more weak, and among the eighteen remaining night watchmen, six are priests!
Therefore, when the number of more than twenty dark knights and strange creatures is small, they can successfully kill nearly ten night watchmen by sneak attack and assassination, and when the other party reacts and starts to gather, they can only kill three, and their own losses are two or three times that of the other party, and the situation is quickly reversed.
But then, darkness enveloped it, and there was a creepy creaking sound inside, like countless tiny bugs hidden.
These were really bugs, densely packed with black swarms like a dark cloud, and after being wiped out by a few magic techniques, they enveloped the eighteen night watchmen.
Several priests wanted to continue to cast the magic but their whole bodies were itching, and they couldn't maintain their concentration on casting spells, and the magic suddenly failed.
Their Holy Light shield was directly gnawed and penetrated by these insects, and one by one, black, tiny insects crawled and bit on their bodies.
The priests and several other night watchmen began to weaken and their foreheads became hot, and only Minsk, who was quite restrained by the defense and physique of the black insect swarm, was barely able to do anything.
Even so, Minsk was a little overwhelmed: "The bite of these insects is equivalent to magic weapons, magic weapons!"
This is a fifth-order evil art (god-like magic) "Blight Pest Swarm" jointly performed by five cult priests.
More than 20 cult priests, led by the priests, climbed up from the exit of the underground palace in time and surrounded the night watchmen near the cabin.
Various evil spells, such as "Freezing Tentacles", "Curse of Despair", and "Shadow of Extreme Cold", were cast either directly or with assistance, and the advantages that the Night's Watch had won so hard were once again suppressed.
The "Codex Bearer" relied on the "Holy Codex" and his own ability to constantly use magic techniques such as "Restoration" and "Healing Disease", combined with the anti-magic power of the "Black Glove" to restore the combat effectiveness of the priests, while several night watchmen in silver armor tacitly stood in the forefront.
As the priests gradually recovered, auxiliary magic and aura magic such as "Divine Grace", "Divine Power", "Morale Like a Rainbow" and "Prayer Technique" were blessed on the four Silver Armored Night Watch one after another, so that their strength, physique, agility, and will were greatly improved, and the rest of the Night Watch such as the Clown and Minsk worked hard to block the attacks of the cult priests, priests, and dark knights for them.
In the divine blessing, the four night watchmen raised their two-handed giant swords at the same time, shouted loudly, and attacked forward in a neat manner.
Their black gloves lit up with a dark light, and their bodies were indescribably calm and deep, and although the greatsword they swung out looked very ordinary, it was dyed with a faint black light by themselves and the black gloves.
Several dark knights blocked in front of them, with the bloodline of "Black Dragon", the bloodline of "Rock Giant", and the bloodline of "Gray Elf", but under the heavy blow of the giant sword that seemed to be a landslide, the black dragon's breath was split, the layer of earth halo on the rock giant's body was split, and the weak aura of the "Gray Elf" was split, and they themselves were involuntarily repulsed.
The four silver knights, dressed in full-body armor, continued to take a step forward, slashing towards the priests and priests.
The "Evil Shield" disappeared under the Greatsword, the "Wall of Darkness" disappeared under the Greatsword, the "Wall of Divine Fire" disappeared under the Greatsword, the demonic defenses around the four priests and one priest all disappeared, and they themselves were cut in half by the Greatsword.
"Their bloodline power is actually 'Elimination,!'" The High Priest with countless strange symbols on his head in the underground palace was slightly surprised, "Where did Aalto's church find four knights with 'Elimination, bloodline, and one of them is a fifth-level grand knight!"
"Eliminate" the bloodline, so that all supernatural powers that do not belong to the true god disappear.
Of course, whether it can be eliminated or not is also related to the difference in strength between the two sides, and this true god can be designated by himself.
This bloodline is the purest and most orthodox bloodline of the original "witchers" such as devil hunters and magic hunters.
The other High Priest, whose whole body was shrouded in silver robes, said to the bald High Priest, "Angra, you go and help them, although they alone can still defeat the Night's Watch, but the losses will be great. The great Lord of Silver and White has just had hope for the kingdom of God on earth, and every strength must be cherished and not squandered.
High Priest Angela smiled, and the whole old man was on the verge of death: "The tribulation is a test for the gods, and it seems that this coincidence is also the same, this group of night watchmen actually entered the vicinity of this ruin in order to hunt down a magician. ”
After so much waiting for no anomaly to happen, High Priest Angra judged that it must be a bitter coincidence, both on his side and on the night watchman.
"But I still can't let my guard down, I'll keep an eye on the area around the temple. The silver-robed high priest replied that the magic circles and traps arranged outside had been destroyed by fierce battles, and he could only rely on evil magic to monitor them, the focus of which was naturally near the temple with the altar.
After becoming an official priest or cult priest, the growth of spiritual power becomes something of faith, and it no longer has the ability to initially probe the surroundings like the spiritual power of a magician.
Relying on the charge of the four "Bloodline" paladins and the cooperation of the "Codex Bearer", "Joker", Minsk and others, the night watchmen broke through the siege of the cultists.
Just as they were about to separate and flee into the Black Forest, each activating the rescue signal so that the cultists could not stop it, black shadows rushed down from the ground, from the trees, and from the sky, and a dense shadow of terror surrounded the night watch.
Seventh-level evil art "Hungry and Thirsty Shadow".
Under the huge gap in strength, a paladin who eliminated the bloodline was drilled into his body by several black shadows, and he couldn't help but scream loudly, but soon, his eyes turned red, and he slashed at his companion with a giant sword.
After being consumed by the "Hungry Shadow", it will also be controlled by it for a short time.
Nearly a kilometer away, Lucien, after seeing the overwhelming black shadow appear and burrow into the forest, after feeling that terrifying evil aura, the whole person immediately bounced up from the branches, his body blurred, glowing with a silvery white glow, and then merged into the moonlight, and ran at high speed around the black forest outside the ranger's hut towards the location he had just calculated.
At a distance of one kilometer, Lucian only took a short time, due to the existence of the fifth-level grand knight and the fifth-level bishop of the "Eliminate the Bloodline", the light and shadow that flickered from time to time showed that the high priest had not completely eliminated them, after all, they would have some powerful magic items on them more or less!
However, the high priest who was floating in the air was completely in control of the battle, and the bishop, who could have been able to fly, was entangled and did not dare to fly at all.
Approaching from the other side, Lucien, who had already seen the entrance to the hiding place of the "Silver Horn", slowed down, completely melted into the moonlight, and quietly walked on the charred black earth that had just been destroyed by divine magic, and approached the cave with steps and slanted down.
"Will it be discovered?"
"The nearby forest was completely destroyed, except for the moonlight, there was nothing to obstruct. ”
"Will the High Priest sense me?"
Lucien pressed these nervous thoughts into his heart, and if he waited any longer, by the time the battle found a change, the danger of Joel's family would increase exponentially.
"Although there are some changes, the general process is still within my plan, as long as you are careful, there is a good chance of success. ”
In the moonlight, a faint, completely unrecognizable remnant of a human figure crept from behind the high priest and behind the battlefield to the front of the cave, and after a brief pause to observe, it quietly dived in.
