Chapter 672 Annihilation!

The moment the two sides met, everyone saw the cultists who committed suicide in the song, and a strange and indescribable power devoured their lives.

The naked eye can see the dedicated cultists cut their skin and flesh and let the blood flow, but the blood evaporated into red mist like boiling.

The spreading blood mist is difficult to spread, because it can be seen that it is sucked into the void as if breathing. The flesh and blood of the sacrifice withered in just a few seconds and turned into a mummy and fell to the ground.

What's more terrifying is that the fluctuations from the void are getting stronger and stronger...

"Damn! It's a large-scale ceremony of the choir. What are they calling..."

Although Amanda had guessed it long ago, her heart still tightened when she saw it.

She knew that the church had a choir, and those members were all trained by those girls with extraordinary talents and outstanding inspiration.

They might not be good alone, but they can unite through rituals and launch very powerful forces.

How can the cult also have these?

But Lance reacted faster than her and threw a few grenades directly, which fell accurately into the so-called choir.

Singing in my house, and singing so badly, I have been putting up with you for a long time!

Lance had not used grenades before not because he was reluctant to do so. Although this thing is expensive, he can afford it.

The real reason is that he is afraid of damaging the old house. After all, it is his own home. If something precious is blown up, it will be a huge loss.

He is even more afraid of collapse. He can survive at that time, but it is hard to say for the others.

You must know that such large buildings are not built and finished. It takes a huge amount of maintenance to ensure their use. The older they are, the more they will spend. It is not surprising that the accumulation over the years even exceeds the construction cost.

But they have seen along the way, peeling wall skin, broken windows, collapsed stairs, and many wooden structures have decayed.

It can be said that the Ascension Sect has no intention of maintaining this place at all.

He did not dare to bring a large force in for this reason. The dangerous house cannot withstand the impact, and no one dares to gamble.

But the hall is so empty, there is no risk of collapse, and the damage can be tolerated.

In this short period of time, the grenades that fell into the church exploded one after another.

The choir was overturned by the shockwave and shrapnel. They might not die, but they were interrupted.

"Kill!"

Lance no longer chose to stay and sing "love songs" with those guys, but to attack them fiercely.

No matter how many times he saw this scene, Amanda felt excited. That man was fearless.

Boudica didn't care about so much and rushed up with a crazy grin on her face. Fighting was the meaning of her survival.

Audrey didn't know, but she couldn't help but follow.

The cult members also started to fight back after the choir was attacked.

The messy cult warriors or cult watchmen were in the front, and those behind them held up the incense burners and released vicious smoke. There were also spellcasters who began to summon the power from the void to help, and the remaining chanters were chanting the hymns of the demons...

Anyway, for a while, the frenzied evil aura on the scene suppressed other forces, and the power from the void demons seemed to distort reality.

Or some "dirty things" want to show their heads...

But unfortunately, their enemy is Lance. No matter what mess you are, I will cut you with one knife and end it with sacrifice.

No one can stop Lance who rushed into it. For a strong man like him, rushing into the caster is simply a massacre.

He can even see the girl who is still praying devoutly with a blade on her body, but Langya doesn't believe it.

Lance doesn't believe it either. Who knows what is under the skin and flesh? It's still cuter to die cultists.

The sacrifice swept and swallowed up the frenzied power. The terrifying appearance even made the things on the other side of the void actively stay away, and the barrier of reality gradually recovered.

The battle was simpler than Lance imagined, because a large number of bombs were thrown at the beginning.

Otherwise, let these guys finish singing the hymn, who knows what will be summoned from the void, and it won't be surprising if the ancestor comes out.

But unfortunately, the power of gunpowder interrupted them, and then they could only be hit hard by Lance.

In the absence of beacons in reality, even if those monsters want to interfere with reality, they can only be exiled and roll back to the void.

It can only be said that technology changes the world, and power does not only come from the void demons.

Because Lance joined the battle, the battle ended with an ease that others could not imagine compared to the previous difficulty and urgency.

Amanda and the others who were used to fighting with Lance were fine, but Audrey was more shocked than before.

After all, they actually acted separately just now. Lance chopped in front and sacrificed without leaving any corpses.

And they were cleaning the room in the back, and they had no exact concept at all. They only knew that the lord went up and came back.

Later, when they faced the cult cardinal, it was an invisible confrontation again, and only the two sides understood how fierce it was.

It's just that now it's a crazy killing in front of her, and the impact is more intuitive.

Is this still something that humans can do?

No one gave her an answer. Lance had already started cleaning up the scene. It's a pity that there was no special gift except some spirituality.

After the battle, the whole old house seemed to suddenly become quiet. Lance suspected that all the cultists were alarmed by the bell ringing just now, and gathered together to fight back with the help of the choir's power.

It's a pity that there is no back. He should thank the cult cardinal's dying knell for calling them all at once, otherwise it would be troublesome to find them one by one.

"Come, wash your hands first and drink some water." Lance took out a kettle and handed it over. He had prepared supplies before coming.

Why is fighting a logistics battle? Because fighting consumes a lot of physical and mental energy, and you need to rest and replenish.

You don't have to put gold coins in your backpack, but you must put food and water.

Everyone simply cleaned up the blood on their bodies. In fact, only Boudica, the young man, was the most exaggerated, and the others were just stained with some.

Washing hands before eating is a strange rule of Hamlet, and then he took out some bread wrapped in beeswax paper with cheese and meat slices.

Everyone is a tough guy who rolls in a pile of dead bodies, and it is impossible that they can't eat.

Boudica was really hungry, and she ate it with big mouthfuls. For her, life is fighting, eating, drinking and sleeping.

Sometimes people just think too much. She is so relaxed, even Lance is a little envious.

Usually, they don't eat too much during the mission, only about four or five pieces, otherwise it will affect their condition. Otherwise, Boudica can eat four or five pieces of bread by herself.

But she can't change her greed. Before others have finished eating, she came up again.

"Boss, do you have any wine?"

"No, get out." Lance glanced at her speechlessly, and didn't buy it at all.

It is strictly forbidden to drink during the mission. This is the lord's rule. He doesn't want to emphasize it after any problems arise. Setting the rules from the beginning is the most direct way to avoid it.

Having said that, Lance still took out a piece of candy wrapped in wax paper and threw it over.

"Hehe!" Boudica was not polite at all, and took it directly and started eating.

Lance also handed it to the other two. Amanda took it very naturally, but Audrey looked a little respectful. It seems that she finally understands what respect is.

After opening the package, there was an amber crystal. Seeing others eat it, she also put it in her mouth.

It must be said that the rich sweetness spread in the mouth instantly, and saliva was secreted uncontrollably. The body was craving this more direct and fast way of replenishment.

Perhaps compared to the bitter and spicy absinthe, this candy is more suitable for me...

Boudica opened it and threw it into her mouth like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and finished it in two bites.

Looking at the others, he also approached Lance.

"Boss..."

"Eat so much and your teeth will rot."

Lance saw that Boudica was approaching, how could he not know what she wanted, raised his hand and patted this glutton, but still gave her his share.

Boudica was thick-skinned and was not afraid of Lance beating her. She would eat candy even if she was beaten, and she took it away without any courtesy.

Lance didn't care. To be honest, he didn't even warm up just now, let alone any consumption.

But he did pay attention to this aspect. There was no sucrose, and no beets were found. The honey production was unstable and took too long. More importantly, it was not solid at room temperature and difficult to carry.

Fortunately, Hamlet is a grain-producing area, with plenty of wheat and barley, so when there is no black bread in other places, there is still food to make maltose, and the by-product can be used as feed without any waste.

Sugar can quickly replenish the energy consumed violently, and the sweetness can soothe the tense nerves, but the output is too small and the cost is too high.

So this thing was not released on the market, but used as a medicine in the army. It is better to eat sugar than to take drugs.

Boudica's fast eating is still good, and she also took time to polish the axe blade.

Splitting armor and chopping bones, the continuous battles caused many cracks on it, but after the polishing was completed, those were saw teeth, and a scratch wound was probably rotten meat.

After a simple rest, the team recovered from the continuous battles.

The first floor was cleared, and they went directly up the stairs to the second floor.

It was different from the alchemy room on the first floor that was converted from a kitchen, or a room full of materials, antiques, and miscellaneous garbage.

The rooms on the second floor are much more complete, with some traces of life. It looks like someone lives there, and they are better than the ones on the first floor. It is probably where the middle-level staff stay.

However, these have become history. The antiques that witnessed all this may have been ignored for many years. Would the cultists know that a badge, sculpture, portrait, or even a tapestry covered in dust is worth a fortune?

Audrey is really professional. She can find hidden things in the room, such as gold coins, gems, and some jewelry. The value of these things cannot be ignored.

She can even find fragments of gems in the torch racks in the corridor. I don’t know what happened that year to put them here.

Lance suspected that the extraordinary ritual of the tomb robber gave her a treasure-hunting trait that is different from ordinary people, but he didn’t investigate it further.

The value of bringing her in is showing, but for Lance, the carrier of recorded information is more valuable.

There is no time to look at the scrolls and notes scattered in those rooms. Collect them first.

"This is the study!"

Lance soon found his real target, the most valuable thing in the old house, the various mystical books that the ancestor had collected over the years.

Those cultists obviously had no interest in these, and it could be seen that no one had entered that room for a long time.

The blocked doors and windows were covered with spider webs, and some wooden bookshelves even collapsed, with books scattered all over the floor. Lance was heartbroken.

No matter what was inside, knowledge was too precious in this era, but people didn't know how to cherish it...

The only good news was that it hadn't been opened for many years, and the study was built with storage conditions in mind, so it could maintain a relatively stable environment, and these books were not corroded by the sea breeze.

Lance collected the books back into the showroom, and the others began to check the surroundings.

Most of them were ordinary books, but soon Lance felt the fluctuation of spirituality in them, and some books containing extraordinary power were collected here.

This discovery made Lance even more excited. A family that has been passed down for who knows how many years, this is the real heritage.

It's a pity... our family has declined...

Soon the study was cleaned out by Lance. Lance knew that the gains from the alchemy room and the study were enough to make up for the price, but the exploration had to continue, and completing the cleaning of the old house was only the first step.

The second floor was quickly cleaned up. Those cultists just now were indeed all that was left here. There were no annoying guys along the way.

The third floor was much crazier than the second floor. Some rooms were full of traces of blasphemy, with strange bloody graffiti and patterns of the Ascension Sect.

There were also some human skeletons arranged in strange shapes, and there were also leather scrolls whose sources were difficult to explain.

On the third floor, Lance and his team also found a specially cleaned space. Judging from the traces left, those guys might still be here with the choir to hold a developer conference.

However, those ordinary believers probably don’t have the qualifications to join. Only those high-level people like the cardinal of the official are qualified to be here on the third floor, which means that their levels have long been divided.

As a cult that deceives people with ascension as its core, the Ascension Sect still has such a significant level division.

I have already ascended, why is there still someone above me? Then didn’t I ascend in vain?

They didn’t call you at the developer conference, but called you when they were eating knives.

Still believe that they will lead you to ascend? It’s better to believe that the first one to fly will lead the later ones.

However, this has nothing to do with Lance and the others. However, they did find a lot of documents of the Ascension Sect's management. The words recorded on the human skin scrolls will give him a better understanding of their internal situation.

The exploration must continue...
