More than a dozen giant octopuses popped up together, and the scene was quite amazing. The waves were lifted, and the countless tentacles were like a gloomy jungle, and the sky seemed to be dark. If it weren't for the fact that the Church fleet was protected by the Holy Light Barrier, it would have been overturned in an instant.

However, even if they weren't defeated in the first place, they weren't in much better shape.

More than a dozen ships, and the formation that had just been lined up was suddenly disrupted. With the exception of the flying priest, the rest of the ship lost their balance and clung to everything they could hold on to it so that they wouldn't be thrown against the barrier and their entrails smashed out.

However, as the only armor that protected them, the barrier of holy light also trembled slightly under the lapping of the waves and tentacles, flickering and disappearing. From a distance, the entire fleet looks like a string of ill-touched light bulbs floating in the sea, ready to go out at any moment.

"This ...... It can't be!"

On board, the bishop in charge of the command looked incredulous, turned his head, and looked with some anger at the sailors and sailors who claimed to be experienced. However, he found that the nautical "experts" hired by the church at a great deal of money were now even more frightened than priests.

He immediately flew into the cabin, grabbed the captain who was clutching the door frame, and asked anxiously, "Why is this happening? Didn't you say that there could be no big hordes of monsters in this sea?"

"I ...... I do not know. ”

Suddenly, the bishop was so angry that he threw all the clerical training behind him, revealing a hideous expression: "You don't know?"

The captain was shocked and frightened, and his whole red face was huddled together: "I really don't know...... We have been at sea for so many years, passing by and passing by here so many times, and we have really never encountered such a situation...... Spare me, Your Excellency, Master......"

"A bunch of trash!"

The bishop let go of his hand, shook the captain aside, and flew out of the cabin at once.

Outside the cabin, the priests gather in an attempt to launch a counterattack against the newly emerged giant octopus. The Bishop hurriedly stopped them, and used the amplification magic to send a command, so that everyone could gather strength to protect the barrier.

"Hold the barrier! No matter what, they must not be allowed to break the barrier!"

The Bishop knew very well that the tentacles were swinging far faster than they could fly. In the event that the barrier is breached, the entire fleet does not know how many people will escape from the attack of the giant octopus and ascend to the sky.

Only by holding the barrier is their only hope at this moment.

From their vantage point, they couldn't see how many octopuses there were around them, only the dense tentacles dancing like crazy. At the bishop's orders, all the priests came to their senses and poured light into the barrier, finally holding their fleet to a halt.

The ship didn't shake so much, and the crew gradually got up, albeit still looking terrified, but they had begun to regain their balance. As if pulling back from the brink of death, they suddenly found that a dozen octopus behemoths together could not break through the barrier on the ship.

"That's ...... Can this be kept?" someone exclaimed

However, whether it is a priest or a bishop, there is still not a trace of joy on their faces.

They don't see any turnaround.

"Your Excellency, you can only take out the holy relics that Your Majesty has given us. A priest persuaded with an anxious look, "If this continues, everyone's spiritual power will be exhausted!"

The bishop shook his head.

"No, the relics are for dealing with the infidels. ”

"But...... If we continue like this, we will not even be able to find the island where the infidels are, and we will already die here!"

The bishop frowned, looking at the overwhelming tentacles outside the barrier, and couldn't help but show some hesitation. Around him, more and more priests cast their eyes on him for help, which eventually converged into an invisible pressure that made the bishop change his mind.

Suddenly, he reached into the pocket of the lining of his robe, as if to take something out of it.

However, it is this moment.

"Roaring ——!"

An extremely loud roar suddenly came out of the body of the octopus giant beast, and everyone in the fleet was stunned. Then, they suddenly found that all the tentacles had stopped, like puppets that had suddenly lost their control, frozen in place, motionless.

The surging waves also subsided.

"It's ......"

The priests were shocked, and the bishop withdrew his right hand, which had reached into his pocket. However, before they could even react, the dozen or so octopuses suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea, and in a short time, they completely disappeared from their sight.

Everyone in the fleet was really stunned at this moment.

But in an instant, the sea was calm again. The sky was clear, the water was empty, and the bishop looked at it as if nothing had happened.

Apart from...... A few more figures suddenly appeared not far away.

The bishop's expression changed slightly at that moment.

If you look closely, it's three guys in fancy clothes. One of them was tall and two short, it seemed that a young man with two small children had stepped directly on the water, but then the bishop noticed that they were stepping on the back of a turtle-shaped monster and slowly drifting towards the fleet.

As if thinking of something, the bishop's eyes lit up, and then he showed some intriguing expressions.

"Who are you, and why do you set foot in the forbidden area at will?"

The three of them stepped on the back of the turtle and soon approached the church's fleet. The first young man shouted with oil paint on his face and a foreign aura all over his body.

Seeing this, the bishop hesitated for a moment, and suddenly let the people lift the barrier on the ship and fly straight towards the other party.

"Excuse me...... Are you the legendary goddess believers?"

His attitude looked extremely polite, and with a kind and reverent smile on his face, he nodded slightly to the three of them, and asked in a soft voice.

The three of them looked at each other, then nodded.

"I see, it's admirable. The bishop bowed deeply again, and said, "You saved us just now, right? If it weren't for your presence, all the people on our ship would have perished." ”

The one at the head nodded, looking a little wary, hesitated for a moment and then said, "You guys...... You're not going to be from the Church of Light, are you?"

When the bishop heard this, he suddenly looked pained.

"We ...... He was expelled from the Church of Light, and is even being hunted down by them. He let out a long sigh and said sadly, "If we can no longer gain a foothold on that continent, why would we take such a big risk to come to this sea?"

Hearing this explanation, the hostility of the other party seemed to have subsided quite a bit. The one at the head touched his chin and muttered, "That's the case......"

"Yes, the Church of Light never spares any traitor. The bishop bowed his head and looked sad, "We have always heard that there is a group of goddesses living overseas, so we went to sea to look for it, thinking that we might be able to find a way out. ”

The other party shook his head and said, "Outsiders are not welcome in our clan. You have strayed into the forbidden land and been besieged by our sea beasts, and it is already your luck that we have just helped you out of the siege. I advise you to leave quickly, or I will not save you again in any danger that will arise next. ”

"This ...... Is there really no way to be accommodating? Take us to your elder, I'm sure he'll understand. ”

"That's the rule, you better go. ”

When the bishop heard this, a subtle emotion flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Since it is your rule, we can't help it. However, you saved our lives, and we hope at least ...... At least we can thank you a little bit. ”

The other party frowned: "What are you going to do?"

"There are a lot of treasures on board, which we brought from the Church of Light. If you don't mind, we're willing to give you a third of it. ”

Hearing this, the three people who stepped on the turtle's back were a little surprised. They exchanged glances with each other, and finally, the one at the head showed a critical look and slowly spoke:

"The Goddess is very demanding, and she never accepts inferior things. ”

"Rest assured, every thing we have brought out from the Church of the Holy Light is extremely rare and incredibly valuable, and I believe that you will definitely find it difficult to find it overseas. ”

The other party nodded and hesitated, "Hmm...... In that case, let's take a look at it first. ”

The bishop smiled gratefully, stretched out his hand, and said slowly, "Then please come with me, I will not let you down." ”

He turned around and flew towards the boat, followed by the three men who were on the turtle's back, and soon came to the bottom of the boat. The men on the boat lowered the ladder, and the three of them climbed up the ladder.

And the moment they boarded the ship......

"Evil heretics, now, you can't use evil spells to manipulate demonic beasts!"

The bishop turned, putting away the harmlessness on his face, his eyes full of hatred. And around him, countless priests surrounded him, each with a strange cross in his hand and a word in his mouth.

At that moment, an invisible film of light appeared beside the three of them, enveloping them in them, and instantly isolating all spiritual power.

The faces of the three changed drastically.

"You...... You liar!"

Their hands began to gew, as if they were about to cast some strange spell. But no matter how they compared, the flow of spiritual power could not break through the light film. The turtle-shaped demonic beast parked outside the ship was also hit by the countless holy light bullets released by the priest, and it was instantly blackened and turned into a corpse.

The bishop smiled smirkedly.

"Give up, even if you can command the most powerful demonic beasts, under the will of God, you can't do anything. "Now, tell me where your island is, or ......."

"No, what?"

The one in the lead, who looked terrified, shrank for a moment, and asked hesitantly.

The bishop smiled, "Otherwise, I will let you feel what it will be like to be roasted little by little by the Holy Light from the outside to the inside." ”

Hearing this, all three of them showed expressions of fear. After all, they are not very old, especially the two children, a man and a woman, and their whole body is trembling, closing their eyes, like fish waiting to be slaughtered on a cutting board.

The bishop looked at them coldly.

Under the confrontation, the three of them obviously couldn't withstand the strong pressure from the bishop, and the one who led them surrendered after a while.

"Good...... I—I'll show you the way. ”

Hearing this, the bishop nodded, revealing a look of satisfaction and arrogance.

"Very well, obey God's will, that's the right choice. He smiled again, "Wait until the cult that believes in the Banshees of the Deep Sea is completely wiped out, maybe ...... I'll spare the three of you a life. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

In this way, the three were put in a special prison on the ship. And this fleet, which belonged to the church, also after a short pause, adjusted its direction and accelerated towards the south.
