After all, Louis was not a pure civilian. Even without any preparation, his body still retreated a little, and he avoided the fatal blow under his ribs in a thrilling manner. James' sharp finger bones passed under his elbow, and blood immediately soaked his entire shirt sleeve.

The sword light flashed, and Gal rushed over, and without hesitation, he showed his sword to this former colleague, cut off half of James' arm, and blood was blown off on the wound. Louis, who could not even hold it down, pulled it behind him and pushed it to Emmy, and said loudly: "James Rucott! Are you crazy?!"

James raised his head and Gal saw his eyes clearly. It was no longer a pair of human eyes. The eyeballs and whites were stuck together, and a red mesh film was covered with.

James is a handsome young man, his eyes are a little bigger than normal people. At this time, his eyes are slightly bulging and covered by the disgusting grid. He is like the compound eyes of some kind of insect, which is extremely terrifying.

He seemed to have no idea of ​​Gal, and the two of them quickly started fighting fiercely.

As soon as he fought, Gal knew that this person was not James anymore - this young hunter who had just graduated through an intern two years ago was definitely not that strong.

Every time the weapon collided with the opponent's sword, Gal could feel a faint pain in his wrist - Gal even suspected that if the sword in his hand was not the thorn of dawn given to him by Carlos, he might have been shaken off by the opponent.

At this moment, in an empty space, a heavy sword penetrated precisely between the two people and passed through James' chest without any hesitation. The sudden killer was so unresponsive that Gal looked at James who was nailed to the wall by Carlos. He couldn't believe that Carlos actually killed him without saying anything... a hunter.

Carlos's expression was cold, as if not a person standing in front of him, but a stinky Defu.

Gal suddenly faced James, but never thought of killing him. Even when he was most angry, he just drew his sword and cut off his arm that was originally nothing different from being useless, leaving only a layer of skin and bones.

But kill... people...

Instead of pulling out his sword, Carlos gently pushed away James' clothes.

Gal and the others saw a tumor-like ball of meat growing in James' heart, covered with a blood-red net. After being pierced by Carlos, it was still pulsing slightly - even if it was weaker and weaker.

James's eyes became clear with the gradually weakening "heartbeat". Carlos's face, which was so cold that it seemed to be frozen, slowly showed an indescribable layer of sadness.

"Be careful...Sguller..." James' throat was accompanied by a murmur, and he uttered a few words with difficulty, and then his eyes slowly turned to Louis, opening his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

At the last moment of life, the young hunter's expression was extremely complicated, like horror and relieved. When it fell on Louis, it was filled with indescribable apology.

His heart finally stopped moving, and all expressions were fixed on James' face, but his eyes refused to close, with the last attachment to life.

Finally died.

"This is the parasitic net." Carlos silently pulled the sword off James' slowly chilling body. "Legendly, it was brought out by the demon. The person parasitic net was already considered dead. His body was manipulated by the demon. Only a moment when his heart was pierced can he recover his dignity as a human."

Louis's arm had been simply handled by Emmy, but he couldn't afford to take it, and there was a cold sweat on his forehead: "What do you mean... Mr. Scoller is really possessed by a demon? Where did it come from? Human Bone Box?"

Carlos looked at him with a serious expression: "I don't know."

The Battle of Black Robe is an eternal scar in human history. Even after a thousand years, the legendary black shadow that can command the army of millions of Difu still makes everyone tremble, as if it has become a symbol of terror.

"Then will we... win?" Amy asked.

"I don't know." Carlos said this and continued to walk forward. "I only know that if I can't, it's not just us who will die."

“Where are we going?”

"Underground Palace." Carlos didn't look back, "Listen, Louis, do you know why they want to kill you? Because you are the sword-holding priest, and have authority second only to the Archbishop in the temple. Maybe you have not used these authority, but they exist. Once we enter the underground palace, all the magic circles left by our ancestors who have passed by here for millions of years will respond to your orders. If none of us cares about anyone, you must be careful - if you are entangled in the parasitic net..."

His voice paused slightly at this point, but the other three understood.

"I will leave the last bit of strength to kill myself," Louis said calmly.

The sound of fighting filled the entire apse. This place where they usually study and work was extremely familiar with, seemed to suddenly become a huge maze, and every corridor was covered with gloomy traps.

That day, in the auditorium, the nightmare created by technology and hallucinations seemed to have become true.

The hunters were trapped in an unprecedented battle.

After Mr. Goode appeared, Aldo immediately rushed to the underground palace alone.

The entire temple fell into an unknown state of paralysis - not only the failure of the power system, but many roads were even blocked.

The temple has been going on for thousands of years, and the depths of the apse is complicated. Needless to mention the barrier core, it is not known how many secret passages there are along the way, and the defensive magic arrays are tied one by one. However, Aldo walked along the way and found that most of them were paralyzed.

It was not destroyed by external forces, but it seemed that some kind of energy had eroded the entire temple.

The doors that are usually hidden in the walls for people to enter and exit the underground palace have been completely sealed.

Fortunately, Aldo was familiar with the underground palace enough, so he bypassed the doors and walked to the deepest part of the apex hall. On the way, he met several corpses of patrolling guards that night, which were exactly the same as Lux's death.

A thousand years ago, part of Satan's bones was sealed in the human bone box. When Parola accidentally opened it and was tempted by it, the demon was summoned again, sweeping the entire continent, causing an unprecedented catastrophe. However, Parola had been dragged into the forbidden technique and then became part of the barrier core. A thousand years have passed and it has long disappeared.

Parola did not leave any body, and after his death only the once sealed bone was left... it had long been destroyed.

Aldo originally thought that even if the human bone box reappeared, it would be just an empty box.

But obviously, he was wrong.

Aldo stopped at the deepest part of the apse, where there were some abandoned rooms, which looked nothing special, and even because they were not inhabited all year round, they were covered in dust.

The doors and windows had already rusted to death, and there was no basic lighting equipment in the house. Aldo chanted a spell lightly, and a small cluster of fluorescent light appeared on his fingers, and walked straight to the corner of the wall, where a mirror was embedded.

He took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and wiped them in a hurry. The ancient mirror reflected a slightly distorted and blurred portrait.

Aldo pressed his hand holding the fluorescent light on it and said short and lightly: "Open!"

The metal mirror suddenly turned into some kind of liquid, with small ripples rising and falling, and the whole room vibrated.

At this time, Evan was the only one in the underground palace.

At that time, he was seriously lying on the ground to copy a defensive magic array. While copying, he wrote the analysis process next to him - the magic arrays in the underground palace were layer by layer, echoing and affecting each other. The entire back hall was like the most magnificent factory, connected and performing their own duties, and he was almost fascinated.

And when the magic arrays emitting a faint white light in front of him suddenly darkened one by one, Evan knew something was wrong.

He had always been half a beat slower than others. Before he could figure out what was going on, the exit was closed and Evan fell into darkness.

Then he smelled an ominous smell of fishy smell mixed with the smell of decay floated from a distance, and a sound of footsteps sounded closer and closer, and the smell became stronger and stronger. Each step seemed to step on Evan's heart.

At this time, except for a sketchbook for making notes, he only had a signature pen with half a tube of ink.

Evan was panicked and wanted to find a place to hide. He held his breath, and the cold sweat in his palm made him almost unable to hold on to his pen. The feeling of disaster was so fierce that when he realized it, he actually fled into Aldo's tomb-the place where the barrier core was located.

Evan got into Aldo's coffin, but the footsteps still stepped on the ground slowly, echoing in the empty underground palace, and gradually approached the tomb.

The door of the tomb seemed to be gently pushed open, and Evan lay in the coffin, carefully emerging, and looked out through the coffin.

His pale, age spotted hand reached in from the door, Evan's eyes were sore, and he couldn't help blinking, and when he opened it, he found that the hand had turned into a skin-covered hand bone, dripping black blood down.

The shadow came into the crack of the door, dragged long by the light of the barrier core, and pulled to the ground. Evan's heart was beating to the extreme, almost unable to move.

At that moment, time was infinitely extended.

The bloody hand touched the blue light of the barrier core, suddenly shrank for a moment, stretched forward tentatively, but it seemed to be burned and shrank back suddenly.

It was silent outside for a moment, and then the footsteps sounded again, and this time I was heading far away.

Evan's entire back was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

He wanted to climb out of the coffin, but his hands and feet were trembling so hard that he couldn't afford to take his strength. He stumbled several times, almost rolling and crawling out of the coffin, and fell just under the magic circle group that Aldo had modified.

There is an hourglass that is about to miss the bottom.

Another group of visitors soon came to the underground palace. Carlos took three people to leave the temple and found the secret passage that could directly lead to the outside of the temple - the road Carlos took when he first brought Mike and Lily to play.

It seems that only the small area of ​​the Temple was affected, and everything outside the Temple was normal.

They walked through a large group of powerless magic arrays and walked in a dark underground palace. The underground palace was like a quiet cemetery, and each magic array was dead.

"Louis." Carlos raised his hand holding the spell of light. "The underground palace is the core of the entire temple. The reason why the hunters outside are in a tough battle in their own homes is because these defensive magic groups have failed, so you can restart them."

Louis looked at him with some anxiety: "What should I...do it?"

Carlos stretched out a hand on his shoulder: "'The priest raised his sword, and every creature belonging to the temple responded to his commands, erected the last wall of man against our enemies', you have heard this."

The sword-holding priest is the one who can beat the final summoning drum if the scepter has broken and when the most critical situation comes, he can use the Archbishop to beat the last summoning drum.

"I calmed down with..." Louis calmed down and cleared his throat. "I will restart the temple defense in the name of the 597th sword-holding priest Megelte."

A cluster of light lit up from the middle of the small magic array under his feet under his feet under his voice. Then, the light spread like a spark, instantly spreading across the entire underground palace. All the magic arrays corresponded to each other, and the underground palace suddenly became as bright as the daytime.

At the same time, the ground part of the temple suddenly returned to power, and the evil plants spreading in the corner and the parasitic nets that were maliciously there seemed to be swept by a fire in an instant.

Withered rapidly.

A voice trembled everyone's soul, which was the power of the entire temple from ancient times.

Everyone couldn't help but show joy, but Carlos's face became more serious - this was not right. If it were really the demon in the human bone box, it wouldn't be so easy. There must be something else...

At this time, a white light suddenly flashed, and Carlos suddenly pulled away Amy and quickly retreated, while Gal and Louis, who had excellent combat awareness, also dodged to both sides.

The white light was like lightning, striking the place where they were fighting just now. Then, the invisible chain suddenly stretched out from all directions. The four people were forced to separate again. Carlos blocked the chain that was swept over for Amy, and was almost flew out by this unnatural force. He took more than ten steps in succession and hit a wall.

His back was empty, and Carlos suddenly realized something was wrong and said loudly: "Louis, remember what I told you..."

Then there was no more text, and he was sucked in by the "wall".

"Karl!" Gar was trapped in a magic circle, and it was impossible to move forward, and it was beyond reach.

Louis's eyes sank, and he immediately realized that someone had tampered with the defensive magic circle, so that the temple's defensive magic circle attacked them instead.

He avoided the attacks of the magic circle several times in a row. Seeing a figure dodging from not far away, Louis immediately chased after him without hesitation.

Louis finally understood how dangerous the underground palace was, but he soon discovered something. Those magic circles always seemed to hesitate much more than others when attacking him, which allowed him to avoid many attacks.

He remembered Carlos's words...yes, even if he did something, no one except Mr. Goode could overcome his authority.

Louis suddenly stood still.

"I am the current sword-holding priest." His expression was firm, and an arrow was slowly gathering in a magic circle facing him, as if it was commonly used in the temple and was given to the field hunter. The cold arrow tips flashed with cold light and pointed straight at Louis's chest.

When tracking down Douglas, the former priest of Clesto, the mental pressure he felt seemed to come again. At that moment, Louis finally understood without any knowledge and thoroughly what "consciousness control" was what Carlos said.
To be continued...
