Chapter 127: Holy Duel and the Ice Witch (Please Give Me a Monthly Pass at the End of the Month!)

Off-island, St. Thomas City, central city.

The main hall of the Libra Church, symbolizing the supreme divine power of the "God of Libra".

Under the illumination of countless eyes and pale golden light, the water droplet princess Ariel slowly stood up in the witness seat.

The gorgeous long dress with azure as the base and gold embellishments fluttered in the breeze, and the blue-gold pupils on the face covered by the veil were like the vast ocean.

As the water droplet princess Ariel stood up, the crowd, which had been a little noisy and chaotic due to the sudden reading of the "trial" by the Libra Pope, became silent again.

If the Libra Pope Saint Berger Cavendish symbolizes the divine power on the off-island, then the water droplet princess Ariel is undoubtedly the embodiment of the royal power of the St. Thomas royal family.

When Princess Ariel appeared in front of the people, there were many representatives of the royal power, either the king or a prince who had the heir position, but since Princess Ariel showed her extraordinary talent, there was no other candidate for the representative of the royal power.

Everyone knows, even the people can see that the future of the Kingdom of Saint Tos will eventually fall into the hands of Princess Ariel.

This is why there are so many people participating in the "Water Drop Blessing".

Do you think that the people really choose to crowd into the "Water Drop Blessing" just for that illusory luck? No, in their view, the "Water Drop Blessing" is not the so-called luck, but a stepping stone to "connect" with the future king!

Once you get the "Water Drop Blessing", it is equivalent to getting a class leap.

It has never been the support of the people that made Princess Ariel complete, but Princess Ariel is blessing the people.

She is Princess Ariel, and also the uncrowned queen of this country!

And now, in this country, the supreme leader of theocracy and the representative of the royal power have an unprecedented direct conflict.

For a moment, all the people were stunned. Even the pirates and adventurers who were not from the Kingdom of Saint Tos were stunned by the scene.

——The world is going to change.

This was the thought that came to everyone's mind.

Regardless of the people's reaction, Pope Libra held the scepter on the high platform and continued to recite the "Word of Judgment".

"Water Drop Princess Ariel."

"You instructed the heretic, the witch Meloye, to steal the holy object, making it impossible for the "sacred ceremony" to begin."

"The glory of God has a slight flaw, and this is all because of your unforgivable crime!"

"Anyone who tarnishes the glory of God must wash away his sins in the form of burning fire."

"Now, I, the Libra Pope Saint Berger Cavendish, hereby pronounce the verdict that you are guilty and must be "burned to death"!"

The powerful verdict was instantly heard by everyone around the platform. Two beams of light golden light were cast from the top of the Libra Holy Church, falling on the Libra Pope and the Water Drop Princess, like the two ends of the scale.

Facing the Libra Pope's "judgment", the blue-gold eyes of the Water Drop Princess Ariel were very calm, without a ripple.

A clear and ethereal voice slowly sounded.

"Where is the evidence?"

"God's revelation, no evidence is needed." The Libra Pope said in a flat tone.

"Heh." The Water Drop Princess Ariel chuckled, like the calm blue of the azure, but it could not hide the prelude to the coming storm: "If that's the case, then there's nothing to say."

"Let's use what you call the 'holy duel' to measure everything."

"If you lose..."

"The great gods witness everything. If I lose, then everything is up to you." The Libra Pope's expression did not change at all.

-The sacred duel is a special product of the development of the "sacred ritual". When both parties of the trial cannot provide strong evidence, a duel will be held. The two parties can duel themselves or entrust an "agent" to duel. The outcome of the duel will greatly affect the result of the "sacred scale".

At the moment when the "sacred scale" cannot be opened because of the loss of the "holy object", the two parties of the trial naturally cannot provide evidence for measurement. In this case, directly opening the "sacred duel" is the simplest and most direct way.

On the high platform.

The Libra Pope and the Water Drop Princess looked at each other from a distance, and a pale golden "sacred duel platform" rose between them.

"Hartman, you go." The Libra Pope said lightly.

After the voice fell, a middle-aged man wearing dark silver light armor, with a weight and a light gold "Libra" mark etched on his chest, said respectfully: "Yes, Your Holiness."

On the opposite side, the Water Drop Princess did not speak, and the female knight standing behind her, in pure white armor, stepped forward.

The two knights gathered their strength at the same time and jumped onto the light golden "Holy Duel Arena".

"The Libra Holy Church, the first judge, Hartman Priven."

The middle-aged knight said in a deep voice.

The Judgment Office is the trial institution of the Libra Holy Church, and each judge is a third-level hero professional.

"Iris Family, the Princess's Knight, Hadali Nicholson." The pure white female knight spoke without a trace of warmth.

After a simple introduction, the spirituality of the two people rose up like a giant torch.

One silver, one white, like two stunning sharp edges, dividing the Holy Duel Arena.

In the crowd, two plain-looking figures wearing grey hooded robes watched quietly.

If it were normal, this outfit would be very conspicuous walking on the street, but in the current undercurrent of Saint Tos City, there are too many people dressed like this, so the presence of the two people does not seem abrupt.

Under the shadow of the hood, there is a pair of dark blue eyes.

Furenee glanced at the two knights on the "Holy Duel Field", then swept from Pope Libra and Princess Water Drop, and stayed on Princess Water Drop for one more second.

Miss Witch frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"This feeling..."

...

At the end of the intricate and dark cave.

Ryan and several other members of the "Overturned Hall" stood at the exit of the cave, overlooking the huge rift below.

What appeared before them at this moment was an extremely magnificent and huge underground world, which even made people wonder, would such a huge underground space really not cause the collapse of the surface of the island? .

The terrifying rift that was thousands of meters long almost divided the ground of the entire underground world into two, as if it was a divine punishment from the gods.

Such a great power, if it is not formed naturally, only gods can do it.

The water drop princess with a liquid body stood at the edge of the cave entrance and whispered: "As agreed, I have brought you to the underground rift of Saint Phile."

"As for how you leave, 'Chi Yuan' has mentioned to me that you have another way to teleport."

"Then, see you again if we are lucky."

"I wish you all the best."

As the clear voice spread, the body of the water drop princess gradually broke into pieces, and finally turned into countless water droplets and dissipated in the air.

Ryan and several people looked at each other, and No. 3 Huang Bing, who was wearing a white hooded robe, spoke first: "Let's go, hurry up, without the seal of the 'Sacred Libra', the entrance to the maze deep in the rift is at risk of being broken at any time."

"If we can kill those black-robed people before the maze opens, our mission will be much easier."

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

The goal of this special mission is to go deep into the underground maze after it is opened, and block the entrance to the ninth floor to prevent anyone from entering.

Ordinary pirates or adventurers do not have the ability to reach the ninth floor entrance of the underground maze. Even if there are, the number is very small. Therefore, the main enemy of this mission is the group of black-robed people with unknown identities and purposes.

At present, the seal of the entrance to the underground maze has not been broken for the time being. If we can solve those black-robed people in advance before that, and then go deep into the underground maze and guard the entrance to the ninth floor for a day, then all those who carry out the mission will not only complete the special mission indicator that must be carried out once every three years, but also have an additional reward of a mid-level wonder.

Of course, it is also very difficult to solve these black-robed people in advance.

According to the known intelligence, the spirituality of these black-robed people is very strange. In the absence of targeted countermeasures, there are not many members of the Overturning Hall who are absolutely sure of victory in a one-on-one battle, not to mention that the number of these black-robed people is likely to be more than the "Sons of Overturning" who came into the Saint Phile Underground Rift.

But even so, No. 4 Green Tide, No. 5 Qingling and No. 6 Blue Mountain did not raise any objections after listening to No. 3 Huang Bing's proposal.

First, this is indeed the fastest way to complete the special mission. Second, the person who proposed this suggestion is No. 3!

Noticing some doubts in Ryan's eyes, Qingling whispered beside him: "Zifeng, you have not joined the Overturning Hall for a long time, and you don't know a lot of things."

"No. 3 Huang Bing is a third-level extreme professional. The master of the hall once said that even among all third-level extreme professionals, Huang Bing is enough to be among the top ten."

Hearing this, Ryan was stunned.

Among all third-level extreme professionals, can be ranked in the top ten?

The value of this sentence is quite high.

It is true that the number of third-level hero professionals is very small, but that is for a certain region. If the scope is expanded to the entire world, the number will be quite considerable.

Among so many third-level hero professionals, what kind of strength do they have to dare to say that they can be in the top ten?

Although Ryan had long felt that No. 3 Huang Bing, the guy wearing a white hooded robe, was mysterious and looked very powerful, he did not expect that he would be so powerful.

Even Ryan himself did not dare to say that he could be in the top ten of the third level at this stage. After all, he had not fought with a third-level extreme professional and was not sure about the strength of a third-level extreme professional.

What, you said he was just a first-level professional?

That's fine.

Huang Bing's existence is like a reassurance for Lu Chao, Qing Ling, and Lan Shan.

With Huang Bing leading the team, the confidence of several people is very sufficient. Even Qing Ling, who has personally fought with the black-robed man and knows how powerful he is, is full of eagerness in his eyes.

This made Ryan more curious about Huang Bing's strength.

Since they all decided to try to attack the black-robed people, Ryan naturally had no objection.

In this way, the five people who agreed began to head towards the rift.

The Great Rift was not far from the exit of the secret passage.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the five people came to the edge of the Great Rift.

The closer they were, the more they could feel the grandeur of the rift.

Ryan looked at the surrounding environment.

As Qing Ling had said, the environment of the underground rift valley of Saint Phile was quite bad. Not only was there a thick black fog above, but even the soil on the surface was light black.

This situation was obviously abnormal, as if it had been polluted by some kind of pollution source.

The Great Rift Valley was very deep, and the visual drop was at least hundreds of meters. Even a third-level hero would die if he jumped straight down without special means.

Several people exchanged glances, and then began to use their own methods.

Qing Ling directly melted into the shadow and easily dived to the bottom of the valley.

Huang Bing was much more elegant. He stepped out of the rift valley, and the next moment, a staircase made of ice crystals appeared under his feet. One end of the ice staircase was embedded in the rock wall, and every time he stepped down a step, the staircase above shattered into mist, as if he was not walking in the rift valley, but in his own backyard.

Beside the rift valley, only Ryan, Green Tide and Blue Mountain were left looking at each other.

With just one glance, the three knew each other's occupation type - they were all melee professionals, and they couldn't help but show a look of sympathy in their eyes.

Compared with the calm Qingling and Huang Bing, Ryan and the other two could only go down the rift in their bodies.

Fortunately, for a third-level melee professional, it is not difficult to use the bumps on the rift rock wall to get down to the bottom of the valley.

Soon, the five people reunited at the bottom of the valley.

The light at the bottom of the Great Rift was very dim, and the ground was not solid soil, but muddy wet mud.

"Where should we go?"

Lanshan asked angrily, and Huang Bing thought for a few seconds and pointed to the other side and said: "This way, I can feel the strange spiritual fluctuations there, which should be the remnants of the loose seal."

Ryan looked at Huang Bing curiously.

I don't know what occupation this No. 3 son of overturning is, but his perception is so sharp.

Since Huang Bing could point out the direction, everyone stopped hesitating and started heading there.

After advancing for a distance, Qing Ling suddenly said, "Wait, don't we need to hide? Just walking over there so openly, what kind of ambush is this?"

"It's a raid, yes." Huang Bing, who was walking at the front of the team, said in a flat tone, "But who said that raids have to be sneaky? The best stealth attack is to kill all the enemies."

Huang Bing's words stunned Qing Ling. Although she felt something was wrong, she couldn't think of a reason to refute it. In the end, Miss Assassin could only choose to remain silent.

Ryan glanced at Huang Bing, and his eyes flashed with admiration.

Although this guy was hiding his head and showing his tail, his style of doing things really suited his appetite.

As a hunter hunting giant beasts, hide-and-seek assassinations were really not suitable for him.

Although hunters also set traps and shoot cold arrows from behind, greatsword hunters are all about the word "reckless" - either the monster dies or I die.

Cat cars and the like are commonplace, right?

Cough cough...

Ryan coughed secretly in his heart.

Still have to be cautious, after all, the main body is not a traveling clone, and there is no chance to come back if you die.

The five people all have the strength of the third level, and their speed is quite fast. Not long after, they came to the depths of the Great Rift Valley. From a distance, they can see about ten black-robed people forming a circle, and in the center of the circle is an altar made of a large number of unknown bones.

On the altar, there is a cross, and a figure is tied to the cross, but unlike the normal cross, this black cross is longer on the top and shorter on the bottom. It is not an orthodox cross, but an inverted cross!

In front of the inverted cross altar, there is a translucent energy plane with a radius of tens of meters, embedded in the ground.

It is the entrance seal of the underground maze.

At this moment, tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the seal. If so, it would take a long time for the seal to be completely broken. However, the blood veins extending from the reverse cross altar covered the surface of the seal.

These blood veins seemed to have life. Every pulsation made the cracks on the cover spread more.

The black-robed man was actively accelerating the opening of the seal!

The undisguised arrival of Ryan and his men immediately aroused the vigilance of the black-robed man.

Because of Qing Ling's sudden intrusion last time, the black-robed man had been prepared for someone to arrive here. Therefore, the moment the few people just appeared, five black-robed men flew towards them.

The movement of these black-robed men was quite strange. Every step they took would form a black mud on the ground. It was better to say that they were sliding than running.

The black robe of the leading black-robed man was slightly different. There were more blood-colored lines on the edge of his collar. This could no longer be called a black robe, but a blood-patterned black robe.

Seeing the five black-robed men coming at a rapid speed, Huang Bing said calmly: "Leave the leader to me, he looks interesting. As for the other four, each of you can pick one."

After saying that, Huang Bing's body disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had come to the side of the black-robed man with blood patterns and slapped out with one palm.

With his movements, a large amount of ice mist began to gather, and in an instant, it formed a huge ice palm, which took the black-robed man with blood patterns and knocked him directly to the rock wall beside him.

"So fast!"

Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly. Huang Bing disappeared and reappeared without making a single sound. This kind of movement is by no means pure physical movement, but more like "teleportation". Of course, this is not the point. The point is that when he saw Huang Bing's ice palm attack and thought of the scene where he just controlled the ice into a ladder, an idea emerged in Ryan's mind:

He, no, should I say, she, is a witch?

This kind of casual manipulation of elements is simply impossible for ordinary professionals. For example, Qing Ling can escape into the shadows and call on the power of the shadows to cover the weapon, but it is definitely not possible to do this. Only witches can do this.

Ryan's eyes showed a look of realization.

If it is a witch, it is normal to rank in the top ten of the third level.

Witches are "taboo" existences, and their combat power is far superior to that of the same level.

A series of thoughts flashed through Ryan's mind, but this is not the time to continue thinking deeply, because the other four black-robed people have rushed towards them.

The blood-marked black-robed man was pulled away from the battlefield, but the four black-robed men did not change the direction of their actions.

Perhaps it was because they had absolute confidence in their leader.

As the distance got closer, one of the four black-robed men paused and his eyes suddenly changed when he saw the purple mask on Ryan's face.

The three black-robed men beside him noticed the strangeness of their companions, but at this moment, the arrow was on the string and there was no time to ask more questions, so the three of them each chose an opponent and launched an attack.

The black-robed man who stopped looked at Ryan's indifferent eyes, his body shuddered, and the fear of the past surged into his heart in an instant, and he turned around and ran away.

Such a move not only shocked and angered his companions, but also surprised Lvchao, Qingling and Lanshan.

But soon, Qingling thought of something.

Could this guy be one of the three black-robed men who attacked her last time?

Although she didn't know what happened between Zifeng and the three black-robed men after she fell unconscious, there was no doubt that the battle that happened that day must have left a deep psychological shadow on the black-robed men, which made the black-robed men flee without fighting.

The sudden escape of a black-robed man made the other three black-robed men angry and shocked. For a moment, they couldn't advance or retreat, but Lu Chao and others would not stand still and attacked the three black-robed men.

Lu Chao was a third-level [Great Knight]. With a [Charge], he arrived in front of a black-robed man at an extremely fast speed. He slashed out with a great sword, and the sword force like a tidal sea bound the black-robed man firmly in place, making it difficult for him to escape.

Qing Ling escaped into the shadows, and when she appeared again, she had come behind a black-robed man. In the past, when facing three black-robed men, she could only choose to escape under the premise of being attacked and carrying the "Heart-Eating Seal", but this did not mean that she would be afraid of the black-robed men in a one-on-one situation.

As for Lan Shan, he also selected a black-robed man, and his attack method was also quite rough, with a heavy shield in one hand and a nail hammer in the other. It was unknown what skill he used, but the black-robed man actually went towards him uncontrollably.

And Ryan, because a black-robed man fled without fighting, became the only idle person in the whole scene.

He stood there, not in a hurry to attack, but cast his eyes on the battlefield between Huang Bing and the black-robed man with blood veins.

It must be said that the black-robed man with blood veins is still quite capable, and his strength is more than a little bit stronger than the black-robed man Ryan had dealt with before.

Under Huang Bing's attack, although he was in a mess, he still managed to hold on, and his strength should have reached the level of the third-order limit.

However, if this trend continues, the black-robed man with blood veins will be defeated in less than half a minute.

On the other side, the remaining five black-robed men at the reverse cross altar also saw the situation here.

Realizing that something was wrong, they all went out immediately. When the black-robed man who fled without fighting met the five people, he was grabbed in the face by another black-robed man with blood patterns. With a shrill scream, the black-robed man became shriveled without any resistance. In just a few seconds, he turned into black ash and died.

After dealing with the fleeing black-robed man, the five people rushed to the battlefield. The leading black-robed man with blood patterns left the team and attacked Huang Bing, while the other four came towards Ryan and others.

From the beginning of the battle to now, only a dozen seconds have passed, and this time is not enough for Lu Chao, Qing Ling and Lan Shan to deal with the black-robed man they are facing.

In fact, except for Qing Ling, the battle situation of Lu Chao and Lan Shan is not optimistic.

In terms of spirituality, Luchao is stronger than Qingling, while Lanshan is about the same as Qingling. However, the problem is that both of them are pure melee professionals. They are restricted by the strange spirituality of the black-robed man. Lanshan, who is slightly weaker, gradually falls into disadvantage in the battle.

Although Qingling has left many wounds on the black-robed man because of his experience in fighting and his ability to hide in the shadow, these injuries cannot play a decisive role at all, not to mention that in the eyes of the black-robed man, the shadow's concealment effect is very poor. In a short time, Qingling cannot end the battle at hand.

In this case, four more black-robed men joined the battlefield...

Before the battle began, how could they have expected that someone in the black-robed group could hold back the powerful Huang Bing.

Now, with the addition of another blood-marked black-robed man at the third extreme level, it is even more impossible for Huang Bing to complete the battle in a short time.

For a time, the hearts of the three people were extremely heavy, and they were even a little desperate-should they give up the mission?

However, just before the four men in black robes were about to enter the battlefield, they all stopped in unison as if they had been frightened in some way.

The moment the four of them stopped, a large black and yellow sword penetrated the ground in front of them. A strong shock wave swept across, forcing the four of them to retreat.

An armored hand grasped the hilt of the black and yellow sword.

"Your opponent is me."
