Chapter 107: Assassination (Part II)

"Dawn—"

The sound of the sacrifice was like lava breaking through the earth's crust, bringing a rare heat to the cold streets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A pale white halo emerged from his body, and the enemy who attacked him flew high as if they had been hit by an out-of-control carriage.

The frozen snow and ice on the ground showed signs of melting, and the frost-covered walls were stained with water.

Bi stood still with his hands on his shoulders, blood squeezing out of his fingertips and falling to the ground with a "pop-clack-clack-" sound.

"Ahem," the sneak attacker struggled to his feet, his bloodless face with morbid satisfaction, "It is worthy of the sacrifice that the temple focuses on cultivating, and the faith is really pious, but this is fine, as long as I devour your transparent soul, I can completely make up for the defects in my life." ”

"You're not Riffin, who are you?"

The priest stared at the enemy in front of him, and his tone was as cold as the temperature of the frozen coast at this time.

It happened so suddenly, and Billy's head was still a little dazed.

In the moments before the attack, the two were discussing the business atmosphere of Silver Gray City, but the next second, a sharp dagger pierced his shoulder blade.

This poisoned dagger was originally stabbed into his heart, but his keen perception brought enough reaction time to the sacrifice, coupled with the agility created by persistent physical training, the dagger could only stab him in the shoulder helplessly after the sacrifice was sideways and short.

"Call the name of the god...... Riffin didn't mean to explain the other party's confusion, and he was not in a hurry to attack, so he stood there defenselessly and said to himself: "Is the meaning of the god's name so powerful, it really deserves to be an existence sitting on the sky, and it is really powerful and desperate." ”

"Invoking the name of the gods" is not some kind of divine magic given by the gods, but a desperate method that belongs exclusively to the clergy.

As Riffin said, the gods who wield the authority of the rules are so powerful that believers can attack or defend themselves by invoking the names of the gods.

While this method is powerful, it is not a regular means of defending against enemies.

For one, this kind of use of God's name is very disrespectful to the gods, and devout clergy would not choose to use such means unless necessary.

Second, the god is not a slave to faith, and although he is happy to give protection to his followers, the frequent shouting of the god's name can definitely displease any good-natured god.

In addition, unlike the "inferior divine power" that is mixed with one's own beliefs as a neutralization, this borrowed "original divine power" is not something that the human body can bear, and once or twice may be nothing, but if it is too many times, it will have a great impact on the lifespan of the sacrifice itself.

Looking at the sneak attacker's look of no one in his eyes, Billy felt a chill in his heart.

Although the other person does not seem to be in his right mind, he is definitely not a fool.

Since this is the case, it means that the poison on the dagger is even more powerful than he originally thought, so the other party will look like he has eaten himself.

"Attack the temple and the Talyan family will be wiped out because of your stupidity!"

The priest used his words to attract the attention of the other party, and without a trace, he moved the palm of the hand covering the wound downward.

The blood-stained palm brushed over his left chest, covering the emblem on the sacrificial robe.

He also wanted to take the initiative, but that was not realistic. It takes time to prepare, especially if he casts spells empty-handed, which will take even longer.

Despite his youth, Billy is not short of combat experience. Although the enemy seemed to let his guard down, Billy knew that the other party would not give him a chance to unleash his magic.

What's more, he now had to mobilize most of his mental power to barely suppress the spread of the toxin, and he had no energy left to complete any divine arts.

I don't know where the other party got the quenching poison, and the divine power in the sacrificial body has nothing to do with it, let alone expel it, and it is difficult to even suppress it.

Otherwise, Billy wouldn't have spent so much mental energy fighting this toxin.

In this case, he can only choose to delay as much time as possible, the message for help has been sent, and the rest is when Bishop Kalian will be able to get here.

"Didn't you say that I'm a pretender," Riffin looked up and down Billy's body with a greedy gaze, "and how can you care about the so-called Talyan family?"

"...... you?"

"Stop asking questions like this that can't be answered, Billy Sacrifice. Rifin interrupted the other party's question in a stiff tone, "I know you're stalling for time!"

"You ......"

"How did I see it?" a lonely look flashed through Riffin's eyes: "If it weren't for this keen perception of divine power, a guy like me hiding in the shadows probably wouldn't be alive now." ”

"Don't take others for fools, Mr. Sacrifice, if it weren't for the consumption of your spiritual power in order to reduce the rejection reaction that occurs when the soul is devoured, you and I would have become one long ago!"

As he spoke, countless black filaments emerged from under Riffin's skin, and they grew wildly until they were half an arm's length before stopping.

Then, the filaments that had stopped growing began to dance in the wind, and the ends gradually expanded, making him look like a large black dandelion.

"You...... Not human?"

Billy thought of the other party's performance in front of the inn, and then carefully observed the current "non-mainstream" appearance, and said a judgment that he couldn't believe.

For this conclusion, the sacrifice is indeed somewhat difficult to accept. It wasn't the first time he'd faced an evil creature, but it was the first time since he became an official priest that he had been completely deceived by the enemy's disguise.

He had no doubt that if the enemy hadn't taken the initiative to "transform," he would never have found the slightest clue from the other party.

"Hmph, human!" Riffin did not hide his disdain: "How could I be human!"

Somehow, seeing his lofty appearance, Billy couldn't hold back his anger: "Please take a look at your Excellency when expressing your disdain, it is human beings who occupy the richest land in the entire material continent, and it is also human beings whose race history can be traced back to the birth of the gods!"

"So what, you still can't escape the fate of being captive by a higher life!"

Ridin was completely unmoved by Mr. Sacrifice's indignation, and his posture was like that of a bored person observing a moving ant colony.

"Higher?" Billy sneered, in response to his arrogant attitude, "who is your master? Isn't it just a lowly demon? I've seen a lot of degenerates, and while there are some madmen who have abandoned their human identity and reinvented themselves, they are only in pursuit of power, and they have no prejudice against their former human identity. ”

"However, this is the first time I've seen such a strange thing like you. I am curious, what are you for, just for the illusory 'high' in your mouth?"

The priest has always controlled his emotions very well, but today for some reason, the anger in his heart is like a fire poured with hot oil, which cannot be suppressed at all.

He didn't even think about suppressing it, the toxins affected his perception, and the enemy's posture interfered with his vigilance. In the face of death that could come at any moment, the priest chose to indulge his emotions and go with the burning anger.
