Chapter 795: The two religions are at a stalemate
"Damn...... What the hell is going on?"
The bishop was surrounded by strange surroundings and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
He stood with about a dozen priests, shielding himself from attacks from all directions. Other paladins, priests...... At the moment, he is gone. They can only hold aloft the cross that can restrain their chanting, summon a film of light, and protect themselves inside.
They kept looking around, not even knowing where they were. What they saw was still the same jungle they had first entered, but in this uninhabited jungle, invisible attacks continued to emerge from various places. When they were attacked in the first round, they suffered heavy losses, and if it weren't for the bishop's quick reaction, they might even have been wiped out.
But...... The current situation is not much better than the annihilation of the whole army.
"We must have fallen for their magic to have such hallucinations. A priest said.
The bishop snorted coldly and did not speak.
Needless to say, being constantly impacted by invisible things, some of his companions disappeared inexplicably, what could it be but an illusion? But he was still a little incredulous, he had the touch of holy light that blocked any evil magic, why did he still fall into the illusion caused by the enemy.
There must be something wrong with this.
Besieged here, they also tried to fight back. But they couldn't even see people. The light flew out and hit several trees that might not have existed, helping them in no way.
Therefore, the bishop did not act rashly.
"Hold on a little longer...... I don't believe they can keep the sorcery going that long. We have the Hallows in hand, and they will never be able to break through this defense. ”
Beyond the film of light, the barrier of the Holy Light has always shone as brightly. The priests could see that something invisible was constantly hitting the barrier, causing small fluctuations in the light, but when it came to the intensity of the attack, it was not terrifying.
- Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived so far.
At the same time, as they thought, the situation gradually became deadlocked, and the faces of the overseas sects did not seem to look very good.
"Why are these two layers of filthy light so difficult to deal with?"
An old man with a black mask, standing outside the encirclement, looked at the dozens of priests hiding within the barrier and the light film, and suddenly said this.
Beside him, stood two old men dressed similarly to him, as well as dozens of robed priests. The priests kept trying to use telekinesis to influence those priests, but unfortunately, as soon as their spiritual power was condensed, they were completely bounced back when they touched that layer of light, and it didn't have any effect.
From their point of view, the priests were trapped in a steep canyon, and about dozens of demonic beasts were attacking the Holy Light Barrier together. It's a pity, no matter whether those demonic beasts pounce on it and bite it or spew out fireball wind blades, the huge holy light barrier has no intention of shattering in the slightest.
They had been storming for about half an hour, and the situation was still like this, so naturally they couldn't help but get anxious.
"The goddess loves peace and never worships violence. The other elder spoke, and said in a hoarse voice, "The methods she has given us are naturally difficult to compare with those violent cultists. ”
A priest came up and asked, "Elder, even the chanting is cut off by them...... We'll control these monsters for a maximum of fifteen minutes, and if we still can't break them, what should we do?"
"It's okay, they're trapped in a fantasy and they're always going to get tired. The elder was not impatient at all, and said slowly, "Deal with this group of main enemies first, and the rest of the scattered heretics can be dealt with slowly." Don't worry, the blessing of the ancestral spirit can last for at least a month, will they last that long?"
When the priest heard this, he also nodded hurriedly, and said in a flattering tone, "The elder is right!"
Then, he turned his head back to look at the priests who were trapped together, and his mood gradually calmed down.
All the people of the overseas sect stood in a row, watching the priests die little by little. They also gave up using telekinesis to attack, leaving only the demonic beasts under their control, constantly impacting the Holy Light Barrier, consuming the opponent's spiritual power while also bringing them more pressure.
This is their territory, this is the realm that belongs to the goddess. No matter how powerful the opponent is outside, they believe that these heretics will definitely not be able to make any waves!
However, they didn't notice that about a few dozen meters behind them, three sneaky figures appeared.
“...... It's the elders, they're all gathered here. ”
The two sisters and brothers looked at the familiar backs in the distance, their eyes showed hatred, and they lowered their voices and said so.
Benjamin nodded.
"The church guys...... It seems that they have surrounded you?" he said to himself as he observed the situation, "Sure enough, I fell into an illusion, otherwise, the church would definitely not be afraid of such an attacking demonic beast." ”
"What shall we do, Lord Benjamin?" the girl asked, turning her head.
"I've got to help those priests. Benjamin touched his chin and whispered, "If they were to be consumed by the illusion casually, my plan would have failed." ”
"Ah...... Are we going to help them again?"
"It's just part of the plan. Believe me, in the end, not a single one of them, whether it is a priest, an elder, a priest, or a bishop will make it out of this sea alive. ”
The two siblings were also shocked by these murderous words, nodded, came back to their senses, and asked, "What...... How can we help them?"
Benjamin replied, "We have to get rid of this illusion." The illusion is gone, and the church has a chance to fight back. ”
The young man said, "But the will of the ancestral spirit is too strong, and we can't fight it. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He really didn't know anything about how it was made, and it would be difficult to crack it. He might have rained down a huge soundproof ice shield directly from the sky to help the church people wake up, but that would be too ostentatious.
In order to achieve the effect of the fisherman's profit, he cannot show up unless the matter comes to the last step.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly whispered, "Didn't you say before that the sleeping place of the ancestral spirit is near here?" Take me over to have a look. ”
Hearing this request, the two siblings shook in unison, perhaps the shadow of the past was still at work. However, looking at Benjamin's rather determined eyes, they quickly came to their senses, took a deep breath, and nodded.
“...... Okay, we'll go now. ”
Following the two siblings, Benjamin quietly departed from the battlefield on both sides and headed for the legendary forbidden land. The church and overseas sects should still be exhausted, and all their attention is drawn here, and no one can stop Benjamin.
On the way, he found that the two siblings were walking, and their bodies would begin to tremble slightly. Benjamin had no choice but to reach out and pat them on the shoulder, comforting: "Don't be afraid, what ancestral spirits, that is, spirits with stronger spiritual power." I've captured so many ghosts alive with my own hands, what are I afraid of them for?"
The girl took a deep breath, turned her head, gritted her teeth and said, "We...... We weren't afraid, just the first time to come to this place, a bit ...... It's a bit ......."
Benjamin smiled and shook his head, "It's okay." ”
Eventually, after carefully advancing for five minutes, they came to a cave.
The area around the cave was bare, and there was an eerie atmosphere in the air, and even the ground turned into a gray-white stone floor. At the entrance of the cavern stood two vigilant priests, dressed in robes and tasked with guarding the forbidden ground, probably the only ones who had not participated in the siege of the church at the moment.
From time to time, however, they turned their heads to look at the place where the two sides were fighting, and seemed to be very concerned about the situation there.
"I also want to participate in the encirclement. Eliminating cultists is a supreme achievement. Otherwise, we may not be able to ascend to the divine realm after death and be blessed by the goddess. ”
"Don't think so, there are other cultists who have wandered away in the illusion. Our task is to defend the forbidden land, and if other cultists collide with us, won't we have the same chance to make meritorious contributions?"
"I hope so......"
However, the two priests were whispering to each other, when suddenly, three figures appeared out of nowhere and instantly crowded in front of them.
"Are you happy? The opportunity you want to make meritorious service has come. ”
Benjamin smiled, and the flying blades flew out like a flock of ravens and surged towards the two priests without warning.
