Chapter 15: The Temple Raid
At this moment, it is late at night.
Heavy rain fell from the sky and enveloped the whole city, and the city was dark, without the slightest light, and it looked like a cemetery of death.
There was only a bleak white light, illuminating the ruined street in front of me.
Duanmu Huai walked along the path with a war hammer in hand, the searchlight on the side of his head radiating a dazzling white glow, tearing through the darkness and illuminating everything in front of him.
Duanmu Huai stared ahead at the map data on his helmet——— which was the reward he received for rescuing the captives in the town hall, a scout servo skull. It scans its surroundings and displays all life reactions on a map.
Well, it's really a good boost for Duanmu Huai.
If there is a disadvantage, it is that the servo skulls are too ugly.
When he first descended to the surface and rescued Alyssa from the Ritual of Defeating the Evil God, Duanmu Huai obtained a repair servo skull, which was mainly used to repair the power armor. Now I've got a Scout Servo Skull, which is basically an "external plug-in" that is useful for the Inquisitor.
All servo skulls are made entirely of human skulls, which retain the human skull and part of the cervical vertebrae, and then mechanize them into drone-like devices.
If nothing else, this thing is, at least on the surface, a strong villain, a white skull floating next to the black knight, which can easily be seen by people who don't know the truth as some kind of creation of an immortal spirit.........
But this thing is really easy to use, the servo skull is small, it is not easy to be detected, and it can fly silently, it is simply the best reconnaissance drone unit. Even in places like ventilation ducts, it can enter unimpeded.
In fact, it was precisely because of the help of the reconnaissance servo skull that Duanmu Huai had already spotted the enemy in ambush on the opposite side several times in advance, and when they rushed out stupidly, they were greeted by a thunderous warhammer bombardment.
"Tsk, this guy is amazing."
Watching Duanmu Huai once again mercilessly smash a group of rat people into meat sauce, the elf scout muttered in a low voice.
She didn't act with Duanmu Huai, after all, the elf scout is good at reconnaissance and exploration, although she also has a good swordsmanship, but now it seems that the other party really doesn't need her to stand by her side.
The elven scout had dealt with the nezumi more than once, and she knew how powerful they were, but these monsters were like mud in front of this Iron Knight, and they were powerless.
But what's the matter with that little girl.........
The elven scout turned to look at Ogis who was following him, and Duanmu Huai said that she was the last hole card and would not let her make a move unless she was in trouble. The elven scout also subconsciously thought that Okis should be a mage——— many mages do have powerful spells, but their combat ability is average, so Duanmu Huai will always protect her.
However, what puzzled the elven scout was that she didn't feel the breath of a living person from this girl, but she didn't look like a vampire or other necromantic creature either.........
Both of these men are mysterious and strange.
When he came to the gate of the temple, Duanmu Huai stopped.
The door to the temple in front of me had been sealed, and there were wooden boxes and stuff like that, obviously refusing to allow anyone to enter.
"It seems that you can't get in, do you want to go another way?"
The elven scout leaned over and asked in a low voice, while Duanmu Huai glanced at the map displayed on the panel and shook his head.
"No, it's not necessary."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai clenched the war hammer, lowered his body, and strode directly towards the gate sealed by debris in front of him, and then the backpack behind him instantly sprayed, bursting out of scorching blue-white flames, under the huge impact, Duanmu Huai rushed forward like a cannonball, and directly crashed into it!
"Boom !!!"
Of course, the gate sealed by wooden boxes and sundries could not withstand the impact of Duanmu Huai, and in a moment, the fragile gate was directly knocked away, and Duanmu Huai also rushed directly into the temple in front of him. At the same time, he quickly glanced around, taking in the entire temple.
All the temples were of more or less structure, with a large hall in front for preaching and prayer, and the clergy quarters in the back. Naturally, this place is no exception, but at the moment, it is not those devout believers who are surrounded by the idols, but a group of filthy and stinking rat people and evil god believers. They were surrounding the idol, seemingly undergoing some kind of blasphemous ritual.
The appearance of Duanmu Locust was obviously unexpected by the nezumi, but by the time they turned their heads to try to figure out what was going on, Duanmu had already flown over the hall and came to the wizard who was performing the ritual. Their fat bodies are riddled with plague and toxins, and these evil sorcerers are the most faithful "children" of the gods of filth.
However, none of this is important to Duanmu Locust.
"Hoo —————!!"
The Thunder Warhammer roared down and smashed into one of the fat wizards. At the same time, however, a dark green barrier emerged from the fat wizard's side, trying to block the Thunder Warhammer's attack.
However, it's not a shield that can block the full force of the Space Marine.
The moment the Thunder Warhammer struck the barrier, it began to twist, shape, and then burst.
Material dislocation!
The thunder hammer that smashed through the shield was castrated, and hit the fat wizard's head directly, smashing its head to pieces, and the fat wizard also flew out directly upside down under the impact of this blow, and smashed on the wall next to it like a cockroach that had been knocked away, and there was no movement.
"Roar, Roar, Roar, !!Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T
At the same time that Duanmu Huai killed a fat wizard with his backhand, other rat people and evil god believers also rushed over like a tide, enveloping him the moment Duanmu Huai landed. They may not be strong enough to damage the locust, but their numbers can still make it difficult for them to move for a while.
But fortunately, Duanmu Huai is not fighting alone.
Psionic Impact!!
The dazzling blue light erupted from Duanmu Huai's body, spreading in all directions, and then the rat people and evil god believers around him who pounced on Duanmu Huai with their teeth and claws were immediately shocked to the ground by the powerful power of psionic energy, and then Duanmu Huai shook his body, and dozens of puppet assassins flashed out of thin air and pounced on the enemy who had fallen to the ground and had not had time to get up. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, rushed directly to the other fat wizard and smashed it into meat sauce again.
And just when Duanmu Huai turned around, intending to kill the last wizard, suddenly, a change occurred.
At the same time as Duanmu Huai's thunder war hammer broke through the fat wizard's barrier, I saw that the fat wizard's body suddenly swelled violently and became larger, and then, its whole person instantly rose several meters taller, even taller than Duanmu Huai. Not only that, but the fat wizard's originally fragile body was now wrapped in layers of fat, looking like a huge fat pig three or four meters tall.
"Boom!!"
And the Thunder Warhammer, which had been invincible before, was also hindered, and Duanmu Huai's powerful blow did not break it like before, on the contrary, he only felt as if his warhammer had smashed into a heavy giant tire, and he didn't react at all.
At the same time, I saw that the middle of the fat wizard's belly suddenly cracked, revealing a murderous bloody mouth, and it didn't know when there was a giant sword in its hand, and it smashed directly towards Duanmu Huai!
"Holy!"
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai also secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly withdrew the war hammer to block it, and then the next moment, the giant sword that roared down directly hit Duanmu Huai's body, smashing it directly out!
"The Plague Apostle ?!!"
The elf scout who came at this moment also screamed in shock when she saw this scene, she didn't expect that there would be such an existence here!
Damn, you know it's not easy to deal with.
Duanmu Huai stood up and stared at the monster in front of him.
【Plague Apostle (Elite)】
【LV35】
This thing is 15 levels higher than me!
But fortunately, for this situation, Duanmu Huai has also been prepared.
At the same time as the Plague Apostle rushed towards him, he also played the hole card that had been hidden in his hand!
"Ogis!!"
"Whoa———!!
With Duanmu Huai's call, I saw the suitcase in the silver-haired girl's hand suddenly open, and then the huge mask puppet flew out of it, blocking Duanmu Huai's face. With their hands staggered, they met the great sword of the Plague Apostle!
"Click———!!!
This time, the man-made puppet was not able to block the attack of the Plague Apostle, and the great sword smashed directly through the body of the masked puppet, turning it into a piece of shards. At the same time, Ogis raised her hands, and the shining threads silently emerged from all directions, entangled in the body of the Plague Apostle.
However, compared to the previous Bloodthirsty Maniac, the Plague Apostle didn't seem to be very sensitive to this kind of attack, although its movements were temporarily fixed by the silk thread, but the Plague Apostle didn't care, and continued to smirk and pounce towards Duanmu Huai.
Damn, so I hate playing with viruses!
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai also secretly took a sip. Among the four evil gods, the followers of the god of defilement are the most disgusting, not only what they do is disgusting, but even they themselves are disgusting. It's like the Plague Apostle in front of him, although on the surface it is a whole, in fact, strictly speaking, its body is more like it is piled up with some kind of viral element. Unless the core is harmed, these guys won't die that easily.
An attack like Ogis's would have been cut into seven or eight pieces long ago if it had been placed on other cult believers, and only this kind of guy who looked like a soft mud monster would be able to block Ogis's attack.
There's no way, the resistance is different, to deal with this kind of guy, it's best to use necromancy or elemental spells, helpless——— whether it's Duanmu Huai or Ogis, it's a physical attack, and it's really a bit powerless to deal with this disgusting thing.
But that doesn't mean you can't fight.
The Plague Apostle, bound by the silk thread, did not give up its attack, it opened the bloody mouth on its belly and spewed poisonous mucus at Duanmu Locust. However, Duanmu Huai did not hide from these germs and venom, instead, he stepped forward with an arrow and stabbed the steel war hammer in his hand directly into the large mouth on the belly of the plague apostle.
Immediately after, lightning flashed and thundered.
"Ahhhhh!!hh
The shining thunder instantly enveloped the entire Plague Apostle's body, causing it to tremble and let out a wail of pain. And Duanmu Huai took the opportunity to let go of the Thunder Warhammer, stretched out his hand and took out the chainsaw sword behind his back, jumped up, raised the chainsaw sword in his hand high, and swung it hard at the Plague Apostle!!
"Buzz—————!!
The frantically spinning chainsaw sword cleaved the Plague Apostle's head, all the way down. However, it doesn't feel like it's slashing into a muscle or a bone at all, but more like slashing into a pile of sponge. It wasn't until he was in his chest that the chainsaw sword suddenly struck.
Got it!!
Feeling the touch from the chainsaw sword, Duanmu Huai's eyes froze, the muscles of his hands bulged, and the huge power erupted again, suppressing the chainsaw sword and continuing downward, only to see that the next moment, the chainsaw sword split the core of the plague apostle, and then saw the plague apostle's body suddenly expand like a leather ball, and then burst open with a "bang".
The violent wave of qi rushed towards her, and even Duanmu Huai, who was wearing power armor, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the elven scout who saw the bad opportunity had already pulled Ogis out of the church——— she didn't have the ability to Duanmu Huai, if she was touched by the Plague Apostle's self-explosion, she would have to peel off her skin even if she didn't die.
"What the........."
Duanmu Huai, who was covered in plague flesh and blood, was also very unhappy, and if he didn't have this set of fully enclosed power armor, it would be uncomfortable to deal with this thing. He'd fought this thing before, it was still a team battle at the time, and in the end, the Plague Apostle blew himself up and killed all of his melee combat, and only a few healers and outputs in the back row survived.
Sure enough, you still need magic.........
Looking at the bombed corpse in front of him, Duanmu Huai shook his head. The physical resistance of a unit like the Plague Apostle is relatively strong, and he and Ogis are both physical attack attributes——— so it seems that they need to go to other ruins to find out if there are any magic soul cards.
"I really didn't expect you to be able to destroy the Plague Apostle."
At this moment, the elven scout also walked in, looking at the hall in front of her in surprise, to be honest, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she didn't believe that anyone could single-handedly kill these powerful evil god subordinates.........
No, he's not fighting alone, either.
Thinking of this, the elf scout glanced at the Ogis beside him, the puppet girl was still expressionless and calm, but the elf scout knew that it was this girl who had just used some kind of silk thread, which restrained the actions of the plague apostle——— it seems that the knight was right, this girl is indeed deeply hidden.
"Alright, the monsters here are gone."
Duanmu Huai put down the chainsaw sword and glanced around.
"Where's that holy relic?"
"I know."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the elf scout's eyes also lit up, and then she quickly came to the idol in the depths of the hall, and then the elf scout whispered a few words similar to a spell, and soon, I saw that the polluted idol emitted a soft light, and then its originally closed hands slowly opened, and then, a pearl about the size of an apple, exuding white brilliance appeared in it.
Seeing this, the elven scout breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whew......... It's fine..............."
However, before the elven scout could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai's chainsaw sword was already against her throat.
"As a scout, you know a lot."
Staring at the elven scout in front of him, Duanmu Huai said coldly.
