Chapter 688 I Am the Flame 1
But now he needs to solve some problems first. He turned around and looked at the people who were in torture. He opened his hands and uttered a calm but deep voice with a unique rhythm.
"Don't be afraid. Fear and despair can't overwhelm us because I am by your side."
The voice seemed to have magical power, echoing in the brain and even hitting the soul.
The two forces were fighting in their hearts, and the shrouded fear was like ice melting quickly when it met the scorching sun.
"Then send me to hell! Ah Ka Ao Oh Oh Ah——!"
Boudica responded first. She resisted the power of fear, and then a firm belief emerged in her heart and expanded rapidly. She shouted like a war cry and adjusted her breathing rhythm.
"Maybe fate is in our hands." Amanda showed a wry smile, put down the raised card, and teased herself.
Because it seems that as long as she is with Lance, her divination results are basically wrong, and the divination results may not be bad if you look at it the other way around.
The two of them were able to break free so easily because of the effect of the holy water and their deep feelings or trust for Lance.
But Audrey didn't think so. She didn't express Lance's words so strongly. Despair still gripped her heart, but she refused them directly when they expressed their opinions.
"A decent lady will not volunteer to die!"
This statement already shows her selfish nature, but this should be the reaction of a normal person. After all, she doesn't know the harm of the cult, nor does she know Lance's true strength.
On the contrary, Boudica and others are as crazy as those cultists in her eyes, and it is stupid behavior.
"Take this and leave. You have completed the task and are free now." Lance didn't force her to do anything, but handed her a bottle of universal potion to indicate.
Lance was too lazy to be a nanny. He wanted to tear up this dungeon now, and Audrey was a burden.
Audrey looked at the potion in her hand and didn't know what to do for a while. Did he really let her go?
However, the movement just now has attracted the attention of some beings in the dungeon. While they were delaying here, a true believer approached them.
"Enemy!"
Amanda shouted, there was no need to question anything, the only ones who appeared here were enemies.
Lance looked back and saw a guy covered in a black robe with gold painting approaching quickly in a strange drifting posture without taking any steps.
For Lance, who had browsed the secret files of the cult leader, he had a certain understanding of the personnel structure and habits of the entire Ascension Sect.
In order to distinguish those old gods, the ancestor called himself the new god.
Among all the cultists gathered in this land, a small number of people's fanatical dedication and worship were so great that they received the "great blessing" of the new god.
Lance had also had a related impression in the battle with the cultists before, but he called it [seed], or more accurately, flesh and blood corruption.
However, the ancestor's stuff had a failure rate, which was called [Ascension Trial] by those cultists.
The success was naturally to control the power implanted in the body step by step, and reshape their bodies with the help of the great blessing.
And the losers... their bodies will go out of control and turn into a twisted mixture of "incomprehensible" shapes composed of flesh, teeth, eyes and tentacles.
Unlike previous failed attempts, there are many cultists who control the power of blessing. However, only those who completely shed their human bodies and master the existence of a new form can become cult priests.
Because of these "great blessings", they are one of the highest-level members of the cult. The luxurious ceremonial cloaks painted with gold, which are different from the pure black cloaks of ordinary believers, explain their identity.
Because of their noble status, they rarely appear outside the darkest dungeon. Only a few cult leaders such as the leader know of their existence.
The job of the cult priest is to perform mysterious and evil rituals. Unfortunately, opening the door is one of them.
For the cultists of the Ascension Sect, only truly devout believers can get the blessing of their gods.
Similarly, only those who control the power of the great blessing can truly pass the trial and then open the [Gate of Oblivion] to enter here.
These devout believers usually have priests to receive them, which is why the priests appear here.
But unfortunately, the people who came in this time were not devout believers.
It was an invader!
"Witness my courage!"
Boudica ignited her long-suppressed anger under the oath-like shout, and the gushing anger completely burned away the fear.
He raised his axe and rushed forward one step ahead of Lance, but saw that the cult priest reacted so quickly that he turned around and dodged with an exaggerated movement that humans could hardly do. The movement was so fierce that the ritual cloak fluttered. The reaction was not like that of a spellcaster at all.
But Boudica's attack was equally swift. He missed the attack and swung his axe and spear upwards to tear the enemy apart.
Then at this time, the cult priest finally made a move. Two tentacles suddenly stretched out from under the cloak to grab the axe and spear. The sharp axe blade that had just been polished could not cut the tentacles, but Boudica was pulled and paused.
And this flaw was fatal enough for a battle of this level. The cult priest leaned forward suddenly, and a purple-black, strange tentacle covered with spikes stretched out from the darkness of the cloak and swung over.
Death Whip!
Boudica wanted to raise the axe gun to block in front of her, but the two tentacles held it tightly. Looking at the dense spikes, if it was hit, the flesh and blood would be scraped off.
"Puff!"
With a muffled sound, the thick arrow shot directly into the head of the priest, and the strong force on it was fully borne, causing the body to pause and interrupt the attack of the spiked tentacles.
At this time, Amanda had also moved, raising her hand to throw out a flying knife with extraordinary power, accurately inserting it into the body of the priest, and the burst of power on it made the tentacles holding the axe gun soften.
Boudica seized this opportunity, suddenly exerted force to grab the axe gun back, and swung it back to chop it down on the head.
The polished axe blade cut through the exquisite cloak, fell into the tough flesh in the flesh, but was stuck by the bones.
There must be no hesitation in the battle, the consequences of getting the weapon stuck are very serious, so he kicked it out fiercely and used the force to pull out the axe gun.
The cult priest flew backwards and fell to the ground. This action blew up his cloak, revealing the terrifying body wrapped inside.
He completely lost his human form, and looked more like a mixture of flesh, blood, bones and various organs.
His hands and feet were completely replaced by tentacles. He held the axe with his hands, and the reason why he could move horizontally instead of walking was that his lower limbs had become octopus-like tentacles.
His whole body was full of fresh flesh color, but it was covered with ulcers, just like the corruption of many cultists, and the flesh seemed to be corroded and dissolved and then restored.
His upper body was severely hunched, so exaggerated that the original back became the top of the head, like a human torso twisted and bent at 90 degrees.
The weird thing was that there were several skulls entangled with flesh and blood on it, which showed what this priest liked to devour.
There were no facial features such as eyes, ears and nose. It was defined as a head because there was a hideous big mouth in front, and the turned-up lips revealed weird teeth, which reminded people of the limp.
The purple tentacle just now should have stretched out from it, because it was still carrying the arrow shot by Lance.
The attack just now did not cause much damage to it. The tentacles of the lower limbs arched and stood up again. The two thick tentacles rolled up the arrows and pulled out the flying knives. The flexibility was no worse than that of the hands. The wounds were healing quickly like the cracks on the head.
But at this time, Lance had already pulled out the wolf fangs from the void and swung the knife. The cult priest who responded hastily wanted to wave his tentacles to block it like before, but the sharpness of the wolf fangs was completely incomparable to those ordinary irons. This was the power of rules.
The knife swung and directly cut off the tentacles. Perhaps he was aware of the danger. The cult priest didn't care about these and rushed forward and leaned over to launch a swift attack.
No one could have imagined that the part of the cult priest that seemed to be the head actually cracked, and a strange-shaped spine shot out from the back at a speed that was difficult to react to.
Deep sacrifice!
Even though Lance reacted, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the tip stabbed at him like a sharp blade.
"waaagh!!!"
A roar suddenly broke out, and the power contained in it failed to deter the priest, but the axe blade that was chopped over hit the spine and made a metallic knocking sound.
It successfully deflected the spine that was originally inserted into Lance's head and pierced into the torso, but it no longer had the power to penetrate his body.
At this moment, Lance understood why as a priest, it chose to attack at close range instead of casting a spell, because when the sharp spine was inserted, he felt an evil and strange force trying to invade from the wound.
In other words, any of its attacks carry evil power, which will corrupt the body and soul. This guy has been casting spells all the time, but it only acts on itself.
But Lance was not afraid at all. He pulled out the spine in front of his chest with one hand, and stabbed the wolf fang into the heart that was exposed because of the ejection of the spine, which involved a large piece of flesh and blood.
This sudden attack failed to kill Lance, so its death was doomed.
Not only Lance, Boudica and Amanda followed suit, pouring their strength on the priest, and soon turned into a pile of rotten meat.
Confidence surged like a tide when the enemy collapsed!
"How dare one rush up?" Lance couldn't help but complain as he looked at the thing, without even casting a single sorcery.
"This guy is just lame!" Boudica kicked him and shouted.
"Are you okay?"
Amanda looked at the injury left by Lance's chest pierced by the spine, and there was an obvious tear on his clothes, with blood seeping out.
Lance looked down, and his calm look seemed as if he was not injured.
The sharp blade of the spine did hurt him, but the protection exempted the soul from pollution, and the power that eroded the wound was instantly defeated under the blessing, and the flesh and blood reconstructed to heal the wound.
It can be said that this injury was recovered instantly, without any impact at all.
There is still a little bit...
"You tore my clothes."
Lance complained a little speechlessly, and casually sacrificed his corpse. Feeling the gift in it, his mind was much more balanced.
It is indeed a high-level, and the spirituality is quite rich. The cultists above can't compare to it at all. I am afraid that only those high-level people can compare with it.
The cultists who cleaned up the old house before have already been replenished. Now if the cultists here are all of this level, it is difficult for Lance to estimate the gains after sacrificing it.
At the beginning, Lance saved a little bit of money. Now, Lance directly blessed Boudica and Amanda to refresh their status.
"Let's go. We must clean up those cultists before they react."
Lance quickly adjusted the team's status and prepared to continue to go deep into the dungeon to explore the secrets of the ancestors.
Audrey behind was like a spectator. She didn't do anything just now. She had a strong tendency to protect herself and even wanted to run away directly.
But when she saw Lance and his team kill the cult priest like a whirlwind, the pressure in her heart was inexplicably reduced.
I don't know if it was the effect of the holy water or her natural big heart, she soon calmed down again.
If the enemy can be knocked down or even killed, it means that this ghost place is not as scary as she imagined.
When she began to adapt to the environment and the external pressure was reduced, she began to think about a question.
That is, if she really left with the potion, could she get out alive.
People with complicated minds always like to be suspicious, especially tomb robbers like her who have been in the dark for many years, and are extremely sensitive.
It was too easy. They just let her go. She even suspected that the antidote in her hand was fake or poison. She would die if she drank it.
I don’t know if the red mist affected her brain or if she was born to like this feeling of being dominated. When she had doubts, she couldn’t even control her thoughts. She thought that Lance was warning and threatening her just now…
When Lance and the others finished fighting, Audrey followed them unconsciously, which caused Amanda to mock them.
“Are you finally awake? I think I can go out and sleep slowly. Some people are not needed here.”
“Coward, traitor!” Boudica rarely participated in the fight between them, but she always looked down on those guys who fled from the battlefield.
Even the innocent Boudica couldn’t stand her. You can imagine what kind of reputation Audrey had in the team.
Audrey looked ugly. Putting aside the facts, don’t you have any responsibility?
But now her life is in the hands of the other party. No matter how unhappy Audrey is, she can only endure silence.
"Okay, one more person means more strength." Lance glanced at the newcomer calmly, but it was just a glance.
He didn't know why Audrey followed him, and he didn't bother to understand.
Her role had been played out. If she lost her use, she would be a tomb robber. If she could die here, maybe he could save himself some trouble.
"Let's go..."
