Chapter 175: The Ruins of the Temple of the Apocalypse (6)
"At the beginning, the High Priest once said that the creatures sealed under the Temple of the Apocalypse are very powerful, and even if we risk our lives, we must not give anyone a chance to break the seal, which is why we know that the undead legions are extremely powerful, and it is impossible to stop their attacks, and we will never take a step back. A male voice came from Emma's body, but it was Alfonso, who had regained consciousness but was still in a state of soul.
After Ryan had purified the fallen Templars with divine magic, Emma explained in the simplest of words what had changed in the Temple of the Apocalypse, when Alfonso and the others learned that the former Silent Jungle had been cursed and turned into a swamp, and that the magnificent Temple of the Apocalypse had sunk into the ground and turned into an underground palace, they knew that they had spent two hundred years here in a state of confusion.
Emma didn't want her former companions to be wiped out, so she tried her best to persuade them to join her side, telling everyone that if they wanted to survive and take revenge on the army of the dead, this was the only option. When he saw that Alfonso's souls were a little suspicious and confused, Ryan unhurriedly took out the diary left by the high priest before he died, so that Alfonso and the others, who had determined the authenticity of the diary, finally established a preliminary trust in him.
With Ryan's strength, he wanted to use Alfonso to do something, he didn't need to ask for their opinions at all, and he could just use a piece of undead magic to forcibly fuse these souls together to create a powerful Thousand Souls Death, but Ryan didn't do this, but kept showing his sincerity and humility to Alfonso and them, this attitude naturally aroused the favor of these Templars, their bodies were purified by Ryan, and their souls were completely exposed to the air, and it was impossible to last too long, in this case, Alfonso and the others had no choice, as long as they took one step at a time, and the result was a wonderful situation of a large group of Templar souls staying together in Emma's puppet body.
The souls of these Templars residing in Emma's Soul Vehicle can borrow Ryan's "Magical Vision" to permanently bless the golem golem The magic array senses the environment and things outside, but there is no imprint from Ryan in the depths of the soul, so there is no way to control this puppet golem like Emma, they are watching Emma and the others on their adventures as if they are bystanders, unless Emma's body is devastated, injuring the soul vehicle in the core, otherwise the souls of these Templars will not be damaged in any way.
Compared with Emma, who served as a civil servant back then, Alfonso and others, who were responsible for defending the Temple of the Apocalypse, were naturally more familiar with this place, so Alfonso replaced Emma and became the new guide of Ryan's party, he already knew that many of the bad changes that had happened here were probably related to the seal on the lower floor of the temple, so he naturally picked out the shortest route and went straight to the high priest's prayer room, where there was a special passage leading to the sealing room under the layers of defense.
"I see that you have both martial arts and the ability to cast spells through the power of God, which is really enviable!" Sias Siassi, who was walking in the middle of the line, slowly talked to Alfonso in Emma's body, and asked this question that had been prepared a long time ago, intentionally or unintentionally: "My junior sister Avrol is also very similar to you, but she believes in Ciris, the god of magic and intrigue, which god do you Templars believe in?"
"You ask this question only to show that you don't know much about the gods of this plane. Alfonso, of course, did not notice Theassia's intentions, and replied, "Haven't you seen the whole Temple of the Apocalypse full of the emblem of lightning in that shield?
"Storm goddess Renaria?" Ryan repeated the name, as if he had seen it in some ancient tome, and asked, "So, this goddess is the god who sealed that powerful creature here?"
"I don't know this either!" Alfonso gave such an answer, he explained: "When exactly did this temple appear, even the high priest does not know, if you don't believe it, you can ask Emma, she is the priest in charge of this." After Emma said yes again and again, Alfonso continued: "Anyway, the power of the gods is real, and as long as we pray sincerely in our hearts, we can also obtain the power to defeat the enemy, which means that Renaria, the goddess of storms, is the main god we believe in. As for the creature that was sealed, our duty is to guard the prison anyway, and it doesn't include investigating its origins, right?"
Seeing that he could not get the ideal answer from Alfonso, Ryan changed the topic and no longer touched on this aspect, and the group said as they walked, and they also encountered many wandering fallen Templars along the way, and Ryan used divine magic to purify these undead creatures one by one, but the souls of these dead Templars in the corridor were not as tough as the souls of Alfonso's Templars who practiced in the arena, and most of them were burned by the divine power.
Seeing this result, Ryan thought that he had not been able to master the strength of the spell, but under Alfonso's explanation, he realized that the Templars in the original arena were the best beings in the Temple of the Apocalypse, whether it was will, physical fitness, or faith, they were all the best among the Templars, and naturally they were not comparable to those ordinary Templars, so they were helpless to withstand Ryan's purification.
The more they marched towards the prayer room, the more dense the wandering Templar souls became, and the cold aura in the air became thicker and thicker, giving Ryan a feeling that he had gathered the souls of the entire Apocalypse Temple Ruins, and after traveling for more than two hours, Ryan and his party finally came to the door of the prayer room in the depths of the temple, and then Ryan stepped in first, and all kinds of furnishings appeared in front of her eyes exactly the same as back then, but there was also a difference, that is, a large black mass of black matter was suspended in the air in the prayer room.
"This, what is this?" Emma, who came in later, made a surprised voice, she clearly remembered that after Ryan and the others purified the fallen high priest, they didn't do anything here, and no one should have gone deep into this place in the past few years, how could this situation happen in front of her, although Emma didn't quite understand what the large mass of black material was, she could still feel that the aura it contained was very similar to those wandering souls before, and it seemed that it should be another effect of that dark ritual.
"Death of a Thousand Souls!" This time it was not Ryan who answered, but Siassie and Avro shouted out in unison, in the depths of Yurutel, the two women witnessed the fierce battle between Ryan and the Thousand Souls, but if there is any difference between the two, the Thousand Souls Death formed by the soul of the peak powerhouse of the blood clan legend is like a mature demonic beast, and the black soul substance in front of them is like an egg that has not yet hatched.
At this time, the black substance seemed to sense the breath of life in the room, so he rushed towards Ryan's side, and Ryan casually released a cloud of "Flame Spiritual Light", turning these rudimentary soul substances floating in mid-air into flames, and then watched them quickly disappear under the purification of this light magic, and then explained to Emma: " If we had been a few years later, perhaps a new undead creature would have formed here, and it would have strengthened itself by devouring other souls, and imprisoned these devouring souls in its own body to gain some of the soul's power during its lifetime, and if it could devour most of the souls of the other dead Templars in the Temple of the Apocalypse, then it would become a rather powerful undead creature, and you would see countless faces of the black matter floating in the air, usually we call it the Death of a Thousand Souls. ”
"The Death of a Thousand Souls?" Emma finally remembered the adventure story that Ryan had told him about the underwater world, and it seemed that she had encountered such a Thousand Souls Death there, and then Emma asked with some hesitation, "Why, why did it change so quickly?"
"The longer you seal this kind of thing, the higher the probability of problems occurring. Ryan shrugged his shoulders, looked at the black substance that was about to disappear completely under the Flame Aura, and said, "Besides, haven't we been in several times? There is a third possibility, the powerful creature that has been sealed up has been trying to break the seal for a long time, but it may not have had this opportunity because it was guarded by the Templars and the High Priest before, and it has not been asked for more than 200 years......
"So, we can't go down anymore?" Alfonso in Emma's body made a sound, he used to have a bit of luck, but after seeing the changes in this prayer room, it was completely extinguished, but he was still a little hesitant to go against the high priest's instructions back then, so he asked these words.
"If we don't completely solve this trouble this time, I have to use enough seals to isolate the entire ruins of the Apocalypse Temple from the outside world, so it should last for a while, but instead of waiting until the future doesn't know when a threat will suddenly appear and affect our pace, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this opportunity in front of us to go down and take a look, and nip the accident in the bud?" Ryan said here, and added confidently: " Last time we didn't do this because the strength was too weak, and this time, I think as long as the creature sealed below doesn't have the strength of a demigod, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
