Chapter 887: Statue of the Holy Light
The chase in the sky continued from day to evening, and the iceship headed north, and the people of the church followed closely. On several occasions, they used special magic items to burst out at breakneck speed and catch up with the iceboat. Benjamin, however, immediately backhanded an elemental turbulence and threw them back, dragging them back again. Eventually, the scene was at an impasse.
The paladins below have long been completely unable to keep up, and have been disbanded after being ordered by Grant. And most of the priests had no choice but to stop the chase because of their lack of mental strength, and the black oppressive scene of locusts crossing the border completely collapsed. Only Grant with some bishops and a few priests had not given up, and from a distance, it looked like a flock of geese flying southβexcept that their direction was north.
"Damn...... How can these bastards run like that?"
The bishops looked at the iceship in front of them and couldn't help but curse.
They're kind of reluctant to chase it anymore.
Chasing them all the way and encountering them several times, they have a clearer understanding of Benjamin's magical prowess. The ability to manipulate the elements that are completely out of the Pope's body, and maybe even stronger mental power, and an endless stream of strange methods...... And after chasing it to the present, their own spiritual power has also consumed a lot, and the original numerical advantage has also been sharply reduced, and they no longer have the certainty of victory at the beginning.
If it takes a while, they will catch up, and I'm afraid they may not be able to beat them. Because of this, many people have the idea of retreating in their hearts.
They won't be able to escape for long. Grant seemed to see this emotion, turned his head, and urged sharply.
The congregation could only nod vigorously.
"Maintaining such a big ice boat, his mental power consumption is definitely not lower than ours, and that easy appearance is pretending to bluff people. The bishop stationed in the royal capital also spoke cheerfully, turning to the others, "and...... In this direction, if they continue to escape, it will be a dead end, and they will not be able to escape. β
They've been chasing for too long, they're all a little dizzy, and they have to have some reason to encourage themselves.
However, it was around this time.
"Your Majesty, the latest tip!" a priest in the back row took out a silver bead, attached it to his ear, listened for a while, seemed to have received some news, and said in alarm, "We have found several new holes near Lake Pearl, which seem to have been reinforced by magic and have not collapsed. And...... And according to the traces inside, just today, there may have been a lot of people crawling out of it!"
The faces of the crowd couldn't help but change, and Grant immediately turned his head and glared at the priest who was reporting.
"What did you say?"
The priest shuddered, swallowed nervously, and said, "That's it...... They found several more exits......"
"I don't need you to repeat it again!" Grant immediately interrupted him impatiently, "tell me the exact news." What do they mean is that the Dark Nightmare have escaped from the underground?"
"Yes, there is a possibility. β
Grant clenched his fists, turned his head back, and looked at the iceship not far ahead again.
"Abominable ......"
At this moment, the church finally understood why the demon had appeared over Lake Pearl - it turned out that he was not carried away by anger at all, but just wanted to lure people away so that the Black Nightmare army could escape. Whereas...... They really chased after them like fools!
Hit the trick!
The bishops were ashamed and indignant, but they could not do anything about it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do now?" someone asked with courage.
β...... Keep chasing. Grat's voice was as cold as coming out of an ice cellar, "Also, send someone to search the area around there, so that the Black Nightmare don't escape easily." β
"Yes. β
The messenger crushed the silver beads and passed the order to the other end. And the people of the church also looked at the ice boat again, like enraged beasts, their eyes full of energy, and they accelerated again, vowing to take down this demon that played on them!
"You can't escape. About five minutes later, Grant came to the iceship less than ten meters away, the holy light in his hand condensed, and stared at Benjamin at the stern of the boat, "It's not just you, but also your traitors, they are the same." The area of Lake Pearl was heavily armed, and they were all caught. β
Benjamin smiled.
"If they really had been caught, you wouldn't be like that. β
As he spoke, the water elemental elves also burst out, waving several extreme water threads and flying towards the church people. Not only that, Benjamin even took out a bottle of mental recovery potion, drank it in front of everyone in the church, and then deliberately put on a pleasant expression towards them.
"Our stock of potions is no less than your ghost crosses. His tone was so calm and even a little leisurely that the church members were so angry that they almost gritted their teeth.
They grimaced, said nothing, and quickly moved their hands. But in an instant, the holy light that was as dazzling as the white sun converged on Grant's body. Then, Grant raised his hands high, and the lines of his robe suddenly lit up. Immediately after, a huge door slowly emerged from the evening sky, and countless golden characters suddenly floated up like snowflakes, and a divine aura enveloped the entire sky.
The water elemental spirit flew over, but it crashed into Grant not far in front of him, as if hitting an invisible wall, and was immediately bounced away. Even the Extreme Water Silk failed to break through the blockade, and it became entangled with the surging holy light nearby, and it couldn't be pulled out for a while.
- After being thoroughly enraged, it seems that ...... Grant is going to make a big move.
Benjamin's eyebrows also sank, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
At that moment, he turned on the "Coming of Water".
In the sky, with a buzz, the golden gate slowly opened. The world behind the door was so dazzling that no one could see it directly, and it was impossible to see what was inside, but soon, one after another clouds of holy light phantoms came out of the door, vaguely similar to human figures.
The phantasms flew extremely fast, and soon they came together into a golden figure. The figures float in the air with their eyes closed, like giants. It was wearing layers of armor, and its hands were crossed and protected against its chest, as if it had a strong force field. Snowflake-like runes surrounded it, and suddenly spontaneously combusted, turning into golden flames, and the air seemed to be filled with a mist like holy light.
The iceship was also shrouded in fog, and its speed slowed down in an instant.
"What a strong rune power......"
Benjamin stared at the figure in the sky and muttered to himself. He opened the deep-sea realm as early as the moment the figure was formed, and used his domain to protect the iceship. But even so, he could already feel the tremendous pressure coming from the mist. The light elemental and the water elemental engaged in a fierce confrontation at the edge of the realm, like a series of small explosions that were constantly occurring, and he could even hear the crackling sound coming from him.
He could be sure that the door had ripped out the power of the elemental plane.
At this moment, Grant is flying behind the figure, his hands crossed, his eyes are full of holy light, and he can't even see his pupils, as if he has surpassed the human form. The rest of the church sweated on their foreheads, and as they chased after it, the Holy Light poured into Grant's body, supporting the massive coercion, as if rivers had finally converged into the ocean.
"This time, you have no way out. β
Grant's voice echoed through the sky, ethereal and solemn, as if coming from another world.
