Chapter 160: Prelude to the Great Era (4)
As his words fell, a sky-high black-red fighting aura erupted from his body, and at the same time, several white dragon-like and snake-like breaths condensed from Angelina's side out of thin air.
For a time, there was light and darkness on both sides of the battlefield, and the contrast was extremely stark.
Although his overall strength is superior, Eli also understands that Angelina, as the most powerful genius of the Demon and Martial Arts Dual Cultivation among the Lion Orcs in the past hundred years, is far stronger than her own in terms of long-range destruction, and she can't fight at a distance without some special means.
However, as the battle progressed, he gradually realized that the two of them were good at supporting the opposite effect - Angelina could speed up his own attacks, while Eli was able to slow down the enemy's attacks, so the battle was at a stalemate for a while.
In short, Angelina, who is a part-time warlock, has her own unattainable advantage in long-range attacks, and it will be extremely disadvantageous to you if you keep your distance from her......
With a judgment in her heart, Eli kicked her feet to the ground, and rushed towards Angelina with a fit in her body! How could Angelina allow him to get close, with a flash of golden light, a wall of magic light had already covered her whole body, and at the same time, a large number of beams of light formed a dense blockade, blasting towards the other party with a heavy killing force!
At this moment, there was no trace of hesitation in his heart, only Angelina, who had the will to protect her homeland, used all her strength, and even Eli felt a little surprised by such a terrifying explosive power.
Eli was well aware of the power of this attack, and knew that he could not dodge it, so he hurriedly gathered a barrier to hide his face. Explosions erupted in a flash, shaking the back of his hand. Before he could react, the dragons began to wander around as if they had been brought to life by Angelina, occasionally launching sneak attacks on Eli. Toyla couldn't dodge, and he was hit a few times all over his body, and the burning sensation spread through his body, almost making him unable to stand.
That's amazing...... Maybe your willpower is no less than mine, no, it's already better than me.
While trying to dodge, Eli sighed in his heart.
Yes, Angelina's own strength is extremely strong, but the Ironstone Tribe has always relied on the power of the metal dragon to survive, and in order to survive, she has had to retreat many times, and there are naturally flaws in her heart.
And now, knowing that the masters of the Blood Food Tribe are already besieging the Temple of the God of War, the rescue of the metal dragon has not arrived in time, and the fate of the tribe is uncertain, and he knows Eli's determination. In this way, she was also evoked an unprecedented sense of protection, showing a new life like a butterfly breaking through a cocoon!
"Hehe......"
Eli finally showed a wry smile, he didn't expect Angelina's true strength to reach such a point...... If we continue like this, we will definitely be cornered. So—
Trying to stabilize his mind and slowly stimulate the power bestowed by the mysterious man beside Brudrin, Eli's face was suddenly filled with strange black runes, looking strange and evil.
"Sorry...... I know it's not a decent thing to do, but that's all I can do to protect all that I hold dear!"
As Eli laughed wildly, Angelina was taken aback by the feeling of a compelling force rushing towards her. Her face sank as she watched her opponent's every move—she knew that her advantage had vanished.
"Take me and try it, Angelina!"
Eli, whose aura had risen again, let out a loud shout and rushed towards Angelina.
Without waiting for Angelina's order, all the light dragons seemed to feel the demonic energy that filled Eli's body, and they had already quickly aimed at Eli who was rushing over.
However, Angelina only flickered before her eyes, and Eli was gone! A cool breeze blew through the back of her head, and strands of hair fell. In the blink of an eye, Eli had flashed behind Angelina and launched a sneak attack!
Eli was no longer busy attacking, and he kept an eye on Angelina's increasingly terrifying light magic as he ran at lightning speed. The current Angelina is full of flaws in his eyes.
In the end, Angelina has been a chief for more than ten years, after all, she lacks the trial of blood and fire, although her talent and strength are excellent, she still has a decline in combat experience, and she is not as good as Eli, who is a top killer all day long.
It didn't take long for Angelina, who was tired of defense, to finally realize that she couldn't go on like this, and the flow of magic energy surged wildly, turning magical energy into divine flames, and countless white pillars of fire rushed straight towards Eli!
Eli, however, came faster, and after dodging the oncoming pillar of fire, he grabbed Angelina's left foot and flipped her to the ground, raising his claw-like hands to thrust—
"Poof!"
Thousands of kilometers away, another place is also undergoing quite significant changes at the moment.
"How's the ritual going, Lord 'Praiser'?"
The Tadoya Empire, outside a church of the Holy See of Dawn.
A middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat was anxiously looking at the old man wearing the white robe in the unique style of the Dawn Holy See, and from time to time he looked at the gate that the old man had just come out of.
As a marquis of a small coastal principality, although Mr. Ted is still powerful in his own country, he is no different from any commoner in the face of this old man in front of him.
Because, this old man, is one of the twelve apostles of the Supreme Court of the Holy See!
Unlike the Four Knights of the Inquisition, the Twelve Apostles of the Supreme Inquisition existed specifically to deal with powerful and evil people, and their status in the Holy See could almost be said to be below one person and above ten thousand.
"Don't worry, Marquis Ted. The complimenter smiled and nodded, "Austin is doing well, and everything is going well now." But the ceremony isn't over yet, and I'm here to let you know. ”
"I see," Mr. Ted breathed a sigh ......of relief, but then a hint of concern grew.
"It's been almost twenty days since the ceremony, why hasn't it ended......?"
The Austen they were talking about was the only child of Marquis Ted. Originally devoted to literature and history, he suddenly wanted to fight for a "just cause" despite the opposition of his family after witnessing the public trial of the pagans by the Holy See. Although he failed to pass the approval of the priests of the Holy See, he was not disappointed, but continued to learn the magic of light, which is most admired by the Holy See, and roamed around alone as an adventurer.
Although not an insider of the Dawn Holy See, he is willing to use his power to get rid of all those who are considered evil by the Holy See, and insists that he is righteous. So gradually, he also made some fame in the Western Continent.
As for why Austin was brought to this church, it is necessary to talk about an adventure in Austin half a month ago.
At that time, Austin was ambushed by a group of dark elves due to his fanatical attitude towards goodness, and was seriously injured as a result. Fortunately, Michelia, a student of the head of the Holy Knights and the next generation of saints of the Holy See, happened to see this scene and rescued Austin.
After waking up, Austin was unsurprisingly fascinated by this beautiful and divine girl, and although the latter had no feelings for Austen, he was keenly aware of the hidden aura in Austin......
At this moment, in the church, Austin was sitting in the middle of a magic circle of light, and a holy light shone down from the glass dome directly above.
In front of the magic array, a middle-aged man also wearing a white magic robe, and a young man dressed as a knight were solemnly watching the progress of the ceremony.
This middle-aged man was the guide of one of the Twelve Apostles, and he stood at the front, his sharp eyes locked on any change in Austin's body.
At Michelia's recommendation, the Pope decided to make an exception for Austin to accept the rites of inheritance from the God of Light without passing the Holy See's review, and become a candidate apostle for the Supreme Inquisition!
According to ancient records, the longer this inheritance ritual takes, the greater the power gained. But now more than 300 years later, no one has encountered a situation where the inheritance lasts more than 10 days, but it is now the seventeenth day of Austin's inheritance......
Andrew, the deputy head of the Knights of the Holy Grail, stepped forward and walked behind the guide, "Lord Apostle, the inheritance has been a long time, nothing will happen to Austin, right?"
The guide didn't speak, because he didn't know how to answer Andre, and after a long time, the guide took a deep breath, "I'm not sure either, but Austin hasn't had any adverse reactions right now, and we can't disrupt the progress of the ritual at will, just wait and see." ”
Austin's expression in the Light was still peaceful, and it really didn't look like there was anything out of the ordinary.
Just as everyone was about to continue waiting, a mutation protruded!
"Whoa!"
The skylight directly above the church suddenly shattered, and an even more intense holy light shone directly from the sky, and the broken glass was instantly turned into nothingness in the holy light!
The situation suddenly changed, and the guide was shocked, he didn't care about continuing the ceremony, and reacted as soon as possible, "Andre, protect Austin!"
"Yes!"
André answered, drew his broadsword from behind his back, kicked the ground with his back foot, and rushed towards Austin as fast as he could.
But before he could get close to Austin, as soon as he touched the edge of the light, the whole person was catapulted out by an invisible force.
Almost at the same time, Austin was attracted by this pure white light, and slowly rose from his seat, and his otherwise ordinary face became more and more sacred, like an angel who came into the world.
When the guide saw this scene, he was completely relieved.
"It's okay, it looks like things are better than we expected. He smiled and waved his hand at Andre, "Come back." ”
It turned out that the inheritance ritual left by the god of light was to quickly cultivate a group of strong people loyal to the light camp. As long as you have a unique constitution and a heart for goodness, you can start the ritual and receive the power transmitted by the projection of the god of light.
And there are actually two forms of this inheritance, one of which is the general inheritance of power. Since the establishment of the Holy See, almost all those who meet the requirements have adopted this method when receiving the lineage. And the second is called soul inheritance, which is a more powerful way of inheritance than power inheritance.
In the power inheritance, the inheritee can get 1/1000th of the power of the god projection, but if it is a soul inheritance, the inheritor can get 1% of the power of the god projection. The strength of the two inheritance methods is ten times different!
Of course, the conditions required for soul inheritance are also extremely harsh, in addition to the fact that the inheritee must have a more suitable physique and an extremely pure soul, there is also a necessary condition, that is, when the god of light thinks it is necessary to spread such a powerful power to mortals, he will choose the method of soul inheritance.
Obtaining the God of Light, a powerful main god projection of one percent, is actually a demigod-level existence in the main plane, so even the guide, who is one of the apostles, has never seen anyone endowed with a soul inheritance!
Unlike Andrei, who was excited, the guide's eyebrows, who had calmed down a little, suddenly furrowed, although he should indeed be happy that Austin and the Holy See had become stronger, but there was still a problem that made him uneasy.
What made the God of Light think that it was necessary to choose a soul inheritance to directly cultivate a demigod?
