Chapter 217: Purification
The experienced Roman immediately understood the meaning of this anomaly, and immediately stopped trying to continue the attack, and immediately pulled back.
Then his eyes were fixed on the vicinity of the battlefield.
Sure enough, after Roman had just retreated for a moment, the shadow that had been turned illusory by Roman's attack in the place where the black mist had gathered just now became condensed again.
It was as if there was a malicious intent that was so thick that it seemed to be substantial, permeating from the spirit world and gathering into the dark shadow.
In an instant, the illusory mist-like puppet-like "spirit" became solidified.
The pale flames in the skull's eye sockets leaped upward.
The puppet skeleton twisted around, and the pale flames swelled in the two recesses where the eyes should have been, and looked at Roman.
This time it felt much more dangerous for Roman than before, but ......
Roman had a guess in his mind.
He didn't continue to retreat, he didn't move forward, he just stood still.
With the Storm Emblem pinned to his chest, he held his staff in his left hand and straightened upright.
It was like a gentleman from Beckland, with blazing eyes, looking at the puppet with only a skull.
As far as Roman could see, most of the cultists on the ground had fallen silent.
The same is true of the "Divine Messenger" Abayro.
He was still crawling and convulsing as hard as he could, and he was bleeding blood, but he seemed to have paid the price with his life after communicating with the "gods" he believed in.
Roman doesn't know how this "god" communicated with his followers before?
But now it always looked at Roman, without speech and without action.
Thinking of his inner guess, Roman slowly drew his shield from behind him.
The skeleton puppet saw Roman draw his shield, and he also raised his hand and waved.
In an instant, a quaint bronze gate appeared not far from Roman's side.
The bronze gate is covered with mysterious patterns, and it has a taste that is difficult to describe in words.
Then the door suddenly opened, and one after another strange-looking and evil spirit creatures continued to emerge from inside.
Some of them resemble herring fish with arms, and they have open vertical eyes on their arms.
Some of them look like young children, but their bodies are densely covered with fluff.
Countless strange spirit creatures rushed towards Roman, as if to drag him behind the bronze gate to accompany them.
Roman looked at the skeleton puppet and the bronze door, and the shield in his hand suddenly glowed.
A beam of light that seemed to be made of morning light condensed in front of Roman and stretched out into the distance.
The light swept towards those strange spirit creatures, swept towards the bronze gate, and at the same time, lightning bolts were also formed in the void, shooting towards those spirit creatures.
The lightning bolts turned into tiny electric snakes, spreading among the spirit creatures, sweeping away, and the thickest of them landed on the bronze gate.
With a crackling explosion, and as the light vanished, most of the spirit creatures that poured out from behind the bronze door disappeared.
But there are also some who have either escaped the lightning attack or survived the storm of light.
In short, there are still a certain number of spirit creatures attacking in the direction of Roman!
Roman didn't use his "psychic blade", because he knew that the suppression of the superior to the subordinate was extremely obvious in the "Grim Reaper" path, and the "psychic blade" only corresponded to the characteristics of the "Necromantic Master" in Sequence 6, and did not have the ability to resist the suspected "demigod" level attack in front of him.
Instead, it will be significantly suppressed.
Therefore, Roman's choice of countermeasures is the manipulation of flames that he has previously researched.
I saw that a circle of red and yellow flames began to spread around Roman, and it was constantly compressed.
The flame in the outer ring gradually turns orange and even has a hint of golden, but the inner ring is still a red flame.
The flame was like a layer of aura, spreading out around Roman with a huge repulsive force in the outer ring. Push the spirit creatures that try to get close to Roman far away.
This is the use of flame that Roman had considered before, resisting the ring of fire.
Roman had just been attacked by the "puppet" ability, and although he was able to bear the attack with his superior physical strength, he still suffered a lot of injuries.
As far as Roman knows, in order for the puppet's attack to be carried out, it must establish a connection with the cursed.
Roman doesn't know which of his previous attacks with the "oracle" Abayro was the result of his occult connection.
So when facing the attack of a suspected "demigod", Roman chose to distance himself as much as possible at the beginning.
For reasons that Roman didn't know, the skeleton puppet just opened a gate to the underworld, summoned the spirit creatures inside, and attacked Roman.
Maybe it's to consume Roman's spirituality, or maybe it's to test Roman's hole cards.
Roman had already been seriously injured before, and his spirituality had indeed not become very strong.
Just then, Roman heard a loud sound like a sonic boom in the distance.
And the skeleton puppet was clearly aware of the anomaly before Roman.
He looked up and saw the hurricane and the figures in the distance.
At the head was a burly middle-aged man wearing a loose storm classroom robe.
Roman also saw this scene, knowing that the reinforcements he had been waiting for had arrived, and he knew that he had been waiting for the opportunity to come as well.
Roman gripped his staff and flashed forward, pulling out a spell from his bosom.
"Yang Yan"!
The skeleton puppet, attracted by the wind and the violent sound in the distance, did not seem to expect that Roman, who was dragged by the "gate of the underworld", would suddenly attack its body.
Suddenly, a ball of light resembled a tiny sun.
The ball of light was so bright that it illuminated the entire splint as if it were day.
And the reinforcements that Roman was expecting in the sky have also arrived.
It was none other than the Archbishop of the Church of the Storm, Aquaman. Courtman, and his substitutes.
At this moment, the substitutes saw the scene on the deck with the bright light created by Roman's use of the "Sunfire" charm.
One by one, the cultists lay on the deck, motionless, their heads all facing one direction.
In that direction, there was a puppet-like being solidified by black mist, and its head was a pale skull with jumping pale flames in its eyes.
There is madness and strangeness all around him.
Beside it was a tiny sun, shining brightly.
And not far from it, there was a tall figure holding a cane.
The figure looked at the skeleton puppet, its right hand still in a throwing position, pointing ahead.
After a short moment, the tall figure flashed away. And the tiny little sun burst open, dissolving all the evil, filth, depravity, and madness it encountered.
As the figures emerged from the hurricane, their eyes turned to Roman, to the deck where a large hole had been blown out, and to the sinister skeleton puppet that was supposed to be there.
By this time it was empty.
Seeing that he had indeed purified the skeleton puppet with the "Yang Yan" spell, Roman nodded with some speculation in his heart, and looked at the "Sea King" Ion on the side. Lord Courtman.
"Your Excellency, it was just one of its clones just now, and its body should be not far away."
Roman said.
He had guessed from the moment that it wasn't the ghost ship or the body of the "Tier 1" seal.
On the one hand, it did not bring full oppressive power to Roman, nor did it show a complete demigod-level attack method.
Roman guessed that it might be because its main body was nearby, but it did not directly reveal its body in front of Roman.
Maybe it's because of caution, maybe it's because the body can only exist in the form of a ghost ship at the moment, and it can't come to Roman.
This can be confirmed by the memories of the cultists before, who always sailed the intercepted passenger ship to a designated area before they could carry out the sacrifice.
Roman guesses that the so-called god of curse and death may really be a way of being like the "Death Call".
And the ending of the easy purification of it just now confirmed Roman's guess.
The corpse that came to Roman by means of a spiritual world shuttle just now is most likely just a clone, perhaps a puppet stand-in created by the high-sequence ability of the "Bound One", and the product of the combination of the "Sacrificial Seed".
This is also the reason why Roman did not run away in the first place after discovering that it had teleported.
If the "Level 1" seal was in its own right, Roman didn't feel like he had a second way to do it other than pray to the gods.
The blue-haired "Aquaman" Ion. Lord Courtman looked at Roman with his blue eyes, shook his head, and said:
"It's not in the nearby sea, I don't perceive it, maybe it has a way to avoid my perception."
He then turned to look at the substitutes behind him and directed them to start the action.
Many of them were old acquaintances of Roman from his time in Byam, and they all looked at Roman with shiny eyes at the moment, and listened to him explain what had happened on the ship.
