Chapter 20 The Power of Faith
These dark rock centipedes do not like the environment outside the cave, and tend to live underground as adults. After Jane and the others fled into the air, the monsters chased them to the entrance of the cave and retreated.
"What now?" asked Bart on the griffin.
Jane glanced at the pale Liba, her combat power was greatly damaged, if the three of them went in like this again, Liba was caught by the monster and bit a few bites, but she was afraid that the healing magic would not be able to save her.
In fact, Jane also had several injuries on his body, but none of them were deeply injured, which had little effect on him, and Bart's earth-based physique was really amazingly defensive, although his lethality was low, but one person blocked the attacks of so many dark rock centipedes, and there were only a few flesh wounds on his body.
The three of them discussed it for a long time, and finally Jane said, "Let's go in with Bart, Liba, you wait outside, and the two of us will go and cut off the tentacles of those corpses first, and then plan the next step." ”
"But what if you get surrounded again?" asked Liba worriedly.
"Don't worry too much, we are both agile, and it's easy to run if you can't beat it, and it's not convenient for you to play in this hole, but it will drag us back, and we have to be distracted to come out to protect you. ”
"But," Liba felt that she was not of much use in this way, and even if she had completed her task, she felt a little unable to raise her head in front of them.
Then Bart said, "I agree, Liba, you just wait for our good news." ”
The matter was settled, and although Liba was embarrassed, she couldn't come up with a better solution. She had no choice but to draw the sacred cross in her hand and pray for the safety of her teammates.
Jane and Bart landed, and when they entered the cave, they tried not to make a sound, but the dark rock centipedes inside were gone, presumably underground. They cut off sixteen pairs of tentacles and brought them out with great success.
It was almost noon, and the skin of several people was hot in the blazing sun.
Bart asks Jane what to do now, and Liba looks at him as well.
In fact, Jane has been thinking about what to do next, she can't go too deep into the cave, otherwise she is afraid that she will not run out.
Jane thought of the black holes on the cave walls, and if she could lure those monsters out close to the entrance to the cave, things would be easy.
Then Jane took Bart into the cave again, not far from the entrance of the cave, Jane looked at the six black holes on the cave wall, and already had an idea in her heart, she had to test to see if it could work.
He drew his bloody sword, slammed it lightly against the edge of the black hole, and told Bart to do the same.
Inside the cave, only the sound of clear hard objects hitting each other could be heard.
"Bell, bell, bell"
Jane closed her eyes and listened intently, and soon he sensed that something seemed to be restless in the depths of the ground, and after a while, he could already hear a slight creeping sound.
Jane gestures to Bart for the monster to come up.
Bart looked cautious and said he was ready.
Suddenly, a dark rock centipede poked out of the huge hole in front of Bart and pounced on Bart.
Bart violently pushed the monster away with his giant shield, and the weapon in his hand slashed at its head.
Jane quickly rushed to Bart's side, and the blood sword drew a diagonal line, cutting off the monster's body, and Bart made up for it twice, killing the damn monster.
The next two people waited for the rabbit, as long as a dark rock centipede crawled out, they would work together to kill it quickly, the two of them cooperated very efficiently, and the monster could only exist at three times at a time, which was not a threat to them at all.
Soon enough kills were made, and as soon as Jane looked at him, Bart and he withdrew from the hole. When the cave calmed down, the two went in to harvest the tentacles and successfully completed the task.
Liba looked at the tentacles full of griffin parcels and said embarrassedly, "Thanks to the two of you, I basically didn't use this mission." ”
Bart waved his hand: "Don't say such things, since doing tasks together is teammates, and the completion of the task is everyone's credit." ”
Jane also smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't mind this.
After that, the three of them returned to the camp, and after eating, they packed their things and prepared to go back to the task.
On the way back, the three of them flew over the Red Bivo Forest, and suddenly heard the sound of fighting below.
The three of them looked at each other and decided to go down and have a look. But instead of approaching recklessly, they flew into the clouds to observe the situation from afar.
Five wagons with cross-engraved insignia were parked on the forest path, blood was splattered on the trunks and ground nearby, and five clergy in black and white robes were lying on the ground, now corpses.
At this moment, there was still a remnant priest and seven monks fighting, and the enemy they faced was a blood prince and five blood guards, and when the disparity in strength was too great, they only took a face, and several of their companions died.
This priest himself is a six-star light mage, and he has a page of the Church-given Book of Judgment, which allows him to use low-level divine power once, but the average number of monks under his command is only three or four stars, which makes it difficult for him to fight alone.
And the group of blood clans that attacked them, even the weakest blood guard, all had combat power equivalent to five stars of human beings, not to mention the blood prince who had not yet made a move.
Jane and the others watched from a distance for a while, and two more monks were grabbed by the neck of the blood guard and killed on the spot, and Liba said eagerly: "Jane, Bart, let's go up and help, the evil blood clan is slaughtering our fellow citizens in the church!"
Jane was silent and didn't speak, and Bart said, "You see those blood clans are so strong, we will die if we go up." ”
Liba bit her lip, her eyes stubbornly urging her crotch mount, and she was about to fly over alone.
Jane finally spoke, her voice heavy: "Don't go, you really can't beat it." ”
With a holy cross in her hand, Liba's eyes were reverent, and her voice seemed to come from the folds of her soul: "For the sake of the church, I am willing to die!" and then a whistle sounded, and the griffin flew towards the battlefield with her.
Claude, the prince of the Gangaro tribe, noticed this, and he opened a pair of black wings behind him, turned his bloody eyes, and watched with great interest as the clouds flew out of the distance, and the expression of death was coming towards him.
Entering the attack range, the red glow of the Liba Staff lit up, and a large area of blazing flames spewed towards the Blood Prince.
The flames sprayed on the Blood Prince's body, quickly burning his body into flames, but Liba was soon horrified to discover that the Blood Prince's regeneration power was amazing, and the speed of injury was not even as fast as his body's regeneration!
The Blood Prince sneered and walked through the flames and strode towards her, Liba hurriedly flew away, but the Blood Prince suddenly turned into a bat and flew quickly into the air and came to her!
The bats quickly converged, and before Liba could react, the Blood Prince was already sitting behind her, Liba looked behind her in horror, and a cold touch came, and her shoulder was grabbed by the Blood Prince with one hand, and then her neck stabbed suddenly, and Liba shook her arms and let out a painful moan.
Bright red blood roses bloomed around her neck, hot blood beads slid down her feathers, and Liba's body quickly shriveled and lost her life, falling from the griffin.
When the white-robed priest saw this scene, he roared angrily: "You have killed so many of God's people, you will be punished by God!"
Claude wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and his blood-colored eyes showed a hint of pleasure, "Old and immortal, I will kill you now, and see if your god will save you!"
The Blood Prince turned into a swarm of bats and attacked the priest, the priest quickly chanted a spell, the round shield of light spread out to protect him in the center, the priest reverently opened the book of judgment in his hand, took out the Mithril Cross in the clip, and chanted: "God creates life, God controls all beings." God wants you to be good and you fall into evil, God wants you to help others, and you want to kill all beings. God is disappointed, sad, and judgment is coming, and I will exercise my divine power to erase all original sin from the world!"
The priest's voice fell, and the pages of judgment turned into nothingness and floated up, condensing on a cross made of Mithril.
The Blood Prince took on a human form in front of the shield of light, and although the light elemental has a natural lethality to dark creatures, he relied on his strong recovery power to step directly into the shield without fear of damage. However, as soon as he entered, he saw the white-robed priest pointing the cross of light at him!
The blood prince's face changed suddenly, and he secretly said bad in his heart. Sure enough, as the priest shouted the words "Punishment of the Holy Flame", a raging firework ignited on his body, but the terrifying thing was that this fireworks were milky white, and the effect it showed was no longer burning, but decomposing!
Bursts of bone-eroding pain came, the blood prince's recovery power was fully suppressed, ** quickly turned into ashes and dispersed into the air, the blood prince's face was hideous, he didn't expect this priest to have the book of judgment, he had no choice but to feel out a small jar of containers with a heartache, the golden liquid in it turned over, it was actually the blood of the blood king! The golden blood poured into his mouth, and a strong energy dispersed into his body, and the blood prince finally stopped burning.
Seeing that the page of judgment could not kill the Blood Prince, the white-robed priest knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and it was difficult to escape today. He dissipated his shield of light, drew a holy cross with a silent look in his eyes, and began to say his final prayer.
"O God, please protect your people and protect the future saints from the forces of darkness. ”
The Blood Prince stared at the white-robed priest with resentment, this old thing had caused him to use up the precious royal blood, and he had to dismantle him to vent his hatred.
The rest of the monks had been killed by the Blood Guards, and only the white-robed priest was left in a desperate situation on the entire battlefield.
Beads of blood condensed in the palm of the Blood Prince's hand, turning into a blood-colored thin sword, and the Blood Prince smiled cruelly at the white-robed priest and removed one of his arms.
The pious face of the white-robed priest showed no pain, his life was twilight, and death was not something to be feared for him who had dedicated his life to the Church. He only prayed calmly, as if he did not feel the torture inflicted on his body by the Blood Prince.
"Old immortal!" the Blood Prince was furious and was about to cut again, and a beautiful human girl ran out of the carriage in a panic, crying anxiously, "Father Cumren!"
This purple-haired girl named Christina Patrick, because of the sudden awakening of the power of the light element, was selected by the Cross Sect as one of the candidates for the Holy Maiden, and is also the target of the Blood Prince's trip, he is ready to sacrifice the girl to the king, as long as the king gives the girl the first embrace, the future saint of the Holy See will become the dark daughter of the blood clan. This is a great shame for the Holy See.
Thinking of this, the blood prince felt a burst of pleasure in his heart, and he ordered two blood guards to grab the girl, and then cut off the limbs of the white-robed priest one by one in front of the girl, and then cut the priest in two from the abdomen, and finally cut off the priest's head, ending his dying life.
Christina's face was full of tears and bitter hatred, but the Blood Prince didn't care, he laughed wildly, and the Blood Guard turned into a bat with him, and flew away from the forest with the girl.
When the Bloods were far away, Bart and Jane flew into the forest. A green-feathered griffin crouched beside Liba, using its beak to stir the dead body of its owner.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Bart asked Jane what to do now?
Jane said heavily, "Let's bury them, lest they be in the wilderness." ”
Soon a dozen earth graves were erected in the forest, and Liba was buried in them.
After releasing Liba's griffon, Jane and Bart couldn't do much more, and they mounted their mounts and left the forest.
