Chapter 690 I Am the Flame 3
Once the members of the Ecstasy died, the ascended priest who had lost his blood pack could not withstand Lance's several blows. His tentacles were chopped off, his head was chopped off, and he was devoured by the sacrifice. Even though the eyeballs on the tumor were blinking wildly, it was useless.
The ascended priest on the other side had long been stopped by Boudica. She longed for a powerful opponent, only in this way could she fully unleash her fury.
The ax gun can resist the claws and tentacles wielded by the priest, and the two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands. Once caught in the opponent's rhythm, he will be at a disadvantage.
In such a short period of time, it was discovered that Boudica's body was injured, and the bleeding appearance was obviously corroded by evil power.
It is difficult for Amanda and the others to intervene in this kind of fierce close combat. Even if they are sure, they have to worry about accidental injuries.
Lance strengthened her with blessings, and then the flesh and blood was reconstructed to smooth the scars. The power of the wounds was eliminated, and the skin that was torn by the tentacles and turned out quickly healed.
At the same time, the strong surge of power caused the slightly depressed Boudica to explode.
“waaagh!!!”
With a roar, the war pattern was activated as if it were fluorescent and the power contained in it followed the sound and impacted on the ascended priest.
Just because the cult priest could withstand it didn't mean it could too. His reaction was sluggish in an instant, and he was obviously shocked.
Boudica didn't stop at all. He lunged forward and used the tip of his gun to fly off the helmet, then twisted around to slightly distance himself.
By adjusting the force, he swung the ax gun and raised it above his head. When it fell, the exposed muscles of his arms suddenly swelled and became clumps. His long red hair flowed away, and his ferocious face exploded with all his strength, which made him look like crazy.
"Kouya!"
With the exaggerated power, the speed of the ax gun skyrocketed! Surge! hurricane!
The irregular ax blade tore through the air and made a howling sound.
The howl ends!
The ax blade fell on the ascended priest's disheveled head, and it was like cutting jelly without any hindrance.
In just the blink of an eye, the priest's tough body, skull, and flesh-and-blood chest were all split in half under this axe.
It wasn't until the disc at the waist got stuck that it was not completely cut off, but the brutal force tore off this blow stirred the air and forced the red mist away. It looked like it was cutting through the red mist.
In front of everyone's eyes, they saw Boudicca slashing with his axe. The next second, the ascended priest's upper body split into two halves. His body also went limp. Both sides split open, and the contents poured out.
Even an ascended priest with strong vitality cannot withstand this blow, which is enough to show that it has not been completely transformed like a priest, and still has human weaknesses.
As long as the attack is strong enough, even monsters transformed by the ancestor's blessing will die.
This is the victory of strength!
Boudica did not gasp after cutting, but entered a mysterious state. She felt that she had become stronger, breaking through the upper limit that she could vaguely feel before.
champion!
"Boss!"
Boudica raised her blood-stained ax gun and shouted, eager to share her joy with Lance.
"I know I know."
Lance just smiled and reassured him, it was him who blessed and strengthened him, could you not know?
Boudica has been following him all over the world and has participated in most of the battles. His own strength accumulation is enough, and he only needs a final kick.
Ordinary people who want to break through the bottleneck of human limits must use extraordinary power. For example, Alhazred was distorted by the bottleneck. In order to break through the champion, he fell into the trap of the old void god. The danger and difficulty are self-evident.
Even within organizations with inheritance, the number of champions is still rare, and they are usually related to some special rituals or props. Although the inheritance is stable, it is also limited.
Among them, talent, strength, and luck are all indispensable. Only one person in a million can reach this point, let alone a legend who is better than a champion.
You can imagine how difficult it is for those who have no background and experience to break through.
This is why the wandering mage is so valued by Lance. His legend lies in the fact that he has no organizational background, so he has a very strong appeal to individual people.
But in the final analysis, the bottleneck that holds many people back is, in Lance’s opinion, spirituality.
If one portion is not enough, then have two portions. If two portions are not enough, then have three portions... As long as you can bear it, there will always be something.
Compared with the church's magical arts, it seems that his power is more like divine arts...
Spellcasters, or in other words, different extraordinary paths have different situations and needs. He originally blessed Greendale and pushed her to become the champion, but the battle lasted a long time. In comparison, Boudica's perennial battle was easier to bear.
It can even be said that Boudica has accumulated enough, the fierce battle inspired her strength, and Lance is just pushing the boat along.
Audrey, who had become a monk on the way, had only been involved in tomb robbing, and she didn't have a deep understanding of mysticism and extraordinary power, so she couldn't feel anything.
But Amanda also felt that the power Boudica had just exploded had exceeded a certain range, and it looked like she had broken through.
The only thing that can be explained is...
Amanda set her sights on Lance, who was cleaning up the corpses. That power undoubtedly belonged to the lord.
In her opinion, Lance took action when he realized that Boudica was injured and at a disadvantage.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy to break through normally. For example, she herself was trapped at a certain stage because of her special profession as a Omen Seeker. Although her combat power was stronger than that of ordinary extraordinary beings, difficulty in breaking through meant that she had no future.
That’s why she got angry when she knew Tamara was going back to the organization. She felt abandoned and would definitely be retaliated in a few years.
Turning around and hugging Lance’s thigh was like sitting on an upgrade, breaking through the bottleneck directly, which made her feel a little safe.
She had been with Lance for a while, and she was very clear about that feeling.
Although she was envious, she knew that she couldn’t ask for it actively.
She knew Lance as a person. He was gentle and generous to his own people, full of patience. No one could give her warmth like him, which was something that neither the organization nor the teacher had.
But once he felt disgusted, that warmth would turn into a biting cold, and she didn’t want to feel that coldness again.
But this situation still made her feel uneasy. After all, selfishness is human nature, and not many people can overcome this instinct.
I don’t know why, the sense of crisis that she had developed from performing clearing tasks in various dangerous environments for a long time came again.
Trust seemed to be shaken...
Lance simply cleaned up the corpses, and seemed to feel Amanda’s gaze. He looked back and seemed to understand something. He just smiled and nodded at her, without saying much.
The sun doesn't need to tell people that it's dawn, because he's there.
Amanda was stunned when they looked at each other, and then the complex emotions in her heart instantly subsided, just like ice and snow melting quickly when they met the scorching sun.
At this time, she suddenly reacted. Was she almost affected again?
Others didn't know about this intense psychological confrontation. Amanda woke up and felt a little scared. Her back was wet in just a few seconds.
The real horror of this place is not the cultists, but the erosion of your sanity all the time.
"Are you okay?"
Lance noticed her strange greeting and Amanda waved her hand.
"It's okay, I was just a little tired just now. It seems that the more extraordinary power is mobilized here, the easier it is to be affected."
"Maybe the power that permeates here is too strong."
The power of the extraordinary has a source, either from their own power or the power brought by the equipment, and in the final analysis, it has to come from the outside world.
As soon as Lance came in, he could feel that the vitality here was so strong that it even turned into blood mist visible to the naked eye.
Lance, who has mastered the power of flesh and blood, can feel that these powers are of the same origin as humans. Just breathing here can feel the improvement.
But they will also be affected. Those with weaker wills may be assimilated into cultists.
This is also the reason why Lance only reminded them of the result but did not tell them the reason. Extraordinary power has a price.
The team adjusted and walked out of the platform and continued to return to the passage.
It was very strange. Lance originally thought that the ancestor should have complete control over this place, but in fact, after invading for so long, he did not encounter any counterattacks from the cultists.
It seems that the ancestor's control over this place is not as strong as imagined. Is it because he got into some trouble? Or is the ancestor really that bad?
Lance is not sure about this. Anyway, when he walked through the passage and entered the next platform, he encountered new enemies.
A team of very troublesome cultists, composed of ascended priests, cult priests, ascended witches and ecstatic followers.
Just like the priest, the witch also looks similar to the one outside, the difference is that the equipment has been replaced with dark gold.
However, compared with the priests who did not master the evil magic, the appearance of the witch immediately aroused Lance's vigilance.
"Kill the witch first!"
As soon as Lance finished speaking, he raised his hand and shot, but the ecstatic believer next to the witch put his hands together to block in front.
Wall of flesh and blood!
The bullet shot into the flesh and blood, but this kind of injury was not a big deal to it.
And this made the witch cast the evil magic.
It can be seen that the disguise of her body was instantly broken at the moment she launched the magic, revealing the distorted shape, and the lower half of her body under the skirt had become almost like a priest's tentacles.
It may be because of the caster, the tumor grew on the head, or it has occupied the head, and the excess flesh squeezed out of the skull helmet and even spread to the neck.
The tentacles extending from it were attached to the arm holding the staff, which had already shown who controlled this body.
Here, with the blessing of the rich power, the witch almost completed the spell with a wave of her hand, and just stirring the red mist could show what power it was.
However, unlike those who had targeted Lance, who was the most threatening, this witch directly chose Amanda who was hiding behind.
Fate revealed!
Several rays of light suddenly burst out from Amanda's body. They were the protective equipment on her body. They dimmed after a little resistance, indicating the result.
"Ah!"
Amanda only heard a shrill scream, and her originally good state instantly became weak.
She felt that something was staring at her...
Almost at the same time, the cult priest and the ascended priest also came over, but they clearly directed their attacks at Amanda.
"Boudica, stop that."
Boudica didn't even need to command him to swing his axe at the priest...
At this time, Lance was raising his hand cannon to face the witch, and he must not let her use the second move.
The fuse burned out, and the roar of the war machine broke out in an instant.
The shells instantly descended in front of the ecstatic followers at a terrifying speed, opening a fist-sized hole directly on their chests. The exaggerated power also pierced the witch behind them.
Guard?
I'll take them all!
Attacking and blocking are two different things. Although Boudica has advanced to the champion, it is difficult for her to encounter cultists who want to rush into the formation regardless of everything, because they are not afraid of exchanging injuries for injuries.
Boudica can only do her best to stop the ascended priest, and the faster cult priest took this opportunity to rush up.
Audrey was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the priest coming, an indescribable magic appeared on her face.
"Ah! I'll hit it?"
Although she hated that bitch and wished she would die.
But Audrey also knew that she couldn't escape in this situation, otherwise she would be the next one. She could only throw daggers and other projectiles to try to block it a little.
Who knew that the priest would block it with a wave of his tentacles, and block it all!
Audrey had just watched the battle and knew the strength of the cult priest. Now she felt the difference in strength even more.
How to fight? I hit him with my head?
But Amanda was only injured, not dead. She endured the severe pain in her head and turned over a small golden shield.
The next second, the dazzling light burst out and shone on the priest.
But it was obvious that Amanda's mind was not clear and she ignored something, that is, the cult priest had no eyes at all.
It was not until this moment that Amanda suddenly realized something. Under the desire to survive, her brain was extremely clear, but she didn't have time to react more because she noticed that the priest lowered his head and rushed forward.
Because Lance was injured, she especially remembered what he was going to do. Audrey also noticed this. It can be said that both sides realized that something was wrong.
But in an instant, there was no time to react. She saw the priest's body rushing forward and breaking away from the black robe, and then the flesh and blood suddenly changed, and the spine blade ejected from his head stabbed at a terrifying speed.
Amanda could only watch the tip of the spine getting closer and closer to her head, even in front of her.
However, before the sharp blade of the spine pierced Amanda, the priest's forward figure suddenly paused and stopped moving.
At this time, everyone saw that a hook had already pierced the priest's body, and the barb pulled the flesh and blood to stop.
Whale hunting hook!
Lance knew that the witch was a high threat, but he also knew the danger of the priest, so after firing a series of two cannons, he quickly turned around and threw the hook, finally stopping the priest at the end.
Dare to launch a sneak attack! So is the priest ready to bear Lance's anger?
