The moment the lightning lit up the entire hall, the chief priest of Lansander finally saw the enemy.
He is not far away from everyone...just thirty feet.
The most famous thing about the Dawn Temple in Trinta City is not only the appearance of the building, which covers an area of dozens of acres, but also the meticulous carvings of every inch and every detail.
The jeweled plain murals of the emblem, such as the high dome, are exquisitely constructed with crystal, which can refract sunlight into the dome skylight of the lobby.
And just under this skylight is the center of the temple. It is carved from a single piece of marble and is about 30 feet tall.
The peaceful, slightly open hands seem to be embracing all things in the world, and the marble-made
It is transparent and slightly yellow, and when the first ray of morning light shines on it through the precisely calculated crystal window, it will emit a soft radiance. It does not require any magic to modify the statue, making it feel like taking a bath.
In the sacred sunshine, solemnly overlooking the living beings at your feet.
However, this holiness has now weakened...
A black robe hangs down to outline the human figure. The posture of standing with hands down seems to be a little humble, but it is extremely arrogant to step on the head of the holy statue!
Upon setting foot, the overlooking view of the gods turned into humiliation and humiliation, and when the darkness blocked the light... the pure white light hanging from the dome only poured on the black, letting the wrinkled black
The edge of the velvet robe is also folded
It emits a faint luster; but under the light and shadow, the depression seems to be even more depressed. The darkness swallows up all the light, making the human-shaped shadow more like a piece of space that has been cut apart, leading into the abyss of unpredictable evil and pure abyss!
As if aware of the gaze of the officiant, under the shadow of the hood, the man raised his chin slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and the electric light flashed, reflecting a strange smile on half of his pale face; and further up,
The hood blocked a ray of light, leaving a rich shadow above the bridge of the nose.
So blasphemous!
The flickering light caused all the believers to turn their eyes, and silent shouts passed through the hearts of those who witnessed this scene...
Only the heart of the temple's chief priest was shrouded in a bitterness as heavy as darkness.
All of this is a trap! The demons appearing outside and the gaps in space that have just been opened are just bait, tools to intimidate him, guiding him with fear. He releases all his power in vain, letting
I... gather everyone in the main hall!
To facilitate his massacre!
The old man opened his lips and wanted to shout like this. However, everything was irreversible now, because in the robe, a pale palm stretched out and held it. Only a slender finger was left... to point.
In the blink of an eye, the electric light has turned into blue and white lines. In just a moment, it has expanded into countless flourishing branches that cover the entire space...
Power expansion? Energy wave.
When that sighing voice sounded, two hundred and forty feet of lightning rumbled across the entire lobby, swallowing everything in its embrace!
The roar caused by the electric light rubbing against the air almost distorted the space. Everyone on the battlefield felt their eyes burning, and then there was a vast expanse of white! The bright white seemed to swallow up everything in an instant, purifying the entire space, and then followed by
A terrifying loud noise came... as if coming from the horizon, or from the depths of the soul, filling the whole world. It almost pierced everyone's eardrums. It roared and roared, making all other sounds disappear.
It was eclipsed and made everything tremble in front of it.
It wasn't until the last ray of light disappeared that the remaining priests reluctantly opened their eyes.
There were very few survivors, and without exception they were huddled at the far end of the hall. In their haste, not having time to put on armor became their only luck, giving them a chance to escape from the extended electric snake.
However, at this moment, in their hearts, the joy of life has long been tainted by boundless fear!
In their eyes that were wide open in confusion, what was reflected was a hellish scene... The white heat of the electric light had faded, but the afterglow still made everything in front of them dark and cold, and the huge hall was currently illuminated by subtle firelight.
, covered with lingering smoke, in the burning and dry breath, the stench of burning fat, like poison, permeates everywhere.
The white and smooth marble floor is mottled, and the charred black spots all over the ground are the remains of what were once called human beings. The current has stiffened their movements in an instant, allowing them to stay in their original positions... They are just survivors.
They were still in a daze - no matter what, they could not associate the faces of those vivid companions in their memories from those twisted, carbonized, or even incomplete things.
Poof, boom!
Dull explosions came from some corpses - under the violent electric current, the energy vaporized the body fluids, expanded the flesh and blood, propped up the abdominal cavity, and turned it into a huge balloon. Now, after the lightning ended, one after another
The ground thuds
Exploded! Then, the smelly, sticky, slippery pieces of cooked meat and various organs flew out, scattering like raindrops on the surrounding ground. Under the stimulation of the residual current, they squirmed and shrank slightly,
Like a special creature...
Ahhhhhh...
The incomprehensible tragic scene made the survivors sober up, but all they could do was to wail in despair, curl up and hold their heads, as if they wanted to escape from the nightmare scene in front of them.
Unfortunately, these screams can only drain away their last bit of luck.
Haha...hahaha...
The gentle laughter, with joy, resounded in every heart. But at this moment, what surged in the mind of the psychic was indescribable rage!
That rage turned into power, pouring out and expanding endlessly from his mind, his nerves, and his body... It was so strong that it was like a flood washing through his body, almost bursting his body.
, making him want to spread it out like crazy!
He jumped down from the statue of the God of Dawn. He waved his hand casually, and a gray-green light burst out from his fingertips, connecting the seventy-foot distance between there and the survivors.
The surging energy was transformed into sticky acid, and a huge cave was burned into the human body in an instant! The skin and flesh melted in the green liquid, turning the bones and internal organs underneath into sliding liquid and bubbles.
, and the priest's expression became weirdly distorted in an instant. She opened her mouth wide and tried to scream, but the corroded chest could no longer support the production of any sound!
Silently, she fell down, and the moment before death came, she saw several companions behind her who were on the same fateful road as him - the acid passed through her body, turning and continuing every moment. Until
Pierce the chest of the sixth and final survivor.
Under the acid, the human body shrank, and eventually turned into dry black coke. When the pungent breath rushed into the nasal cavity, the irritability in the heart seemed to finally begin to subside. Then in an instant, it disappeared without a trace.
Edward was stunned.
"Master, you are injured..."
The woman's voice broke the silence after death, causing the psychic to raise his head and notice Claudia's concerned face just a few feet away.
And in the eyes of the female knight, he also saw his own face - under the shadow of the hood, two streams of water were sliding down from the corners of his eyes. There were winding traces flowing on the pale cheeks, and
The faint smell of blood also flowed into the nasal cavity.
That is a side effect of over-limited energy conduction. Excessive mental power squeezes the brain. Only in this way can the over-burning mental power be compressed into the roaring current. But it seems to be extremely wonderful, even if the pain caused by it sweeps through
However, he did not feel any discomfort in the mind's nerves. In fact, his consciousness was exceptionally clear - as if it had been cut apart by something and left alone. Far away from pain and far away from perception... His consciousness was outside everything, as if it were dissociated, indifferent.
Watching everything happen.
Blinking his eyes, he did not try to wipe away the blood stains. He just raised his head and stared at the statue of Lansander overlooking him.
It's a pity that even so, it didn't appear?
The huge stone carvings were not reflected in the squinted eyes. Only pieces of halo outlined wonderful pictures, reflecting all the existences within a few dozen miles around in the mind's eyes. However, his eyes swept over those tiny details.
, a faint light spot, he sighed slightly - the real target did not appear nearby as imagined...
So, is it because of your own actions or not being public enough?
Or maybe it is, although in the eyes of mortals, this may already be a big deal.
"Master, is this... not a bit... too cruel?" Her eyes swept across the lifeless hall. Even the female knight couldn't help but tremble slightly. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke softly.
.
"Cruel...?"
The psychic warlock's eyes swept around him, the hell on earth forged by his own hands, but then he shook his head, his voice as cold as the breath of the frozen hell: "Since after they die, their souls will be sent to the kingdom of their gods,
So what's so cruel? This can actually make people
Their gods value their sacrifices more, don't they? Otherwise, a life of confusion will only make them insignificant in the eyes of their gods. Isn't it great now? A life that was originally mediocre can be dedicated to something great.
In the cause of fighting evil?”
The female knight's silent expression made Edward frown.
Yes, what is this? Is it an explanation of facts?
No, this is just an excuse, a quibble...
He stretched out his hand and drew a symbol, and a swirling strong wind blew away all the burning stench in the hall. However, the fierce wind could not remove the trace of haze in his heart - if he followed his original intention, he just wanted to destroy
Just drop this Dawn Temple... Anyway, under the combined impact of myself and the spiritual sucking larvae, the enemies here will have almost no room for resistance; then the energy type of the energy wave just chosen is slightly less powerful, but
Wouldn't it be better to have more concealed freezing properties?
No, in fact, there was a more appropriate solution from the beginning, right? For example, spend a little more time and use several consecutive summoning spells to let more people witness the scene of demons attacking the church? This can be implemented
Certain connections between the God of Dawn and demonic forces are also more likely to trigger struggles between other temples—such as the Temple of the God of Guardians—and them.
Shaking his head gently, he eliminated the idea from his thoughts.
What does it matter?
The result was already like this. More than a hundred paladins and priests were successfully eliminated, including a regional chief priest. This was a big enough blow to the Dawn Temple. Moreover, there were still hundreds of miles away from our own army.
The distance should be able to draw everyone's attention away from Tuminis' army.
After all, as the army advances, more or less accidents occur in the Dawn Temple in every city. Isn’t this right?
As for those dead people...it's ridiculous, Edward has never been a kind person, and now, he still has time to care about other people's affairs?
The orange-red sphere popped out from the sleeves of his robe. The psychic sighed slightly, then turned and left. So behind him, the orange-red sphere quietly blended into the smooth surface, and then the hard rock made a circle of waves.
!
The earth-yellow ripples continued to extend towards the surroundings, taking away the color of all the rocks and softening them like mud! Then the rumbling roar echoed in the hall again, and the pillars shook and collapsed one after another. Dust and gravel
.It fell from the dome of the temple like a downpour, and the ground was like a huge monster opening its mouth, swallowing up everything - the ground, the sculptures. The huge marble sculpture
Statues of gods are not immune either.
This devouring is so rapid.
When the person who caused everything walked out of the temple gate, the huge statue made a scream-like scream. The rock collapsed under its own weight, and the friction sound turned into a terrifying rattle. Then half of the walls of the hall were covered.
, and the entire roof slid downwards, sinking into the bottom with a rumbling roar. At the same time, it was crushed into a ball of broken stones and rising smoke and dust by gravity.
The dust was swept by the storm, rising to a height of more than 300 feet, flying and spreading, announcing that the Temple of Dawn in Trinta City had become a memory and a symbol that could only remain in the records of history.
And that spectacular dust cloud was enough to shake the entire city.
Staring at the towering smoke, people ran around in fear, announcing what they saw - countless demons suddenly appeared in the Temple of Dawn, but a moment later, the sacred place collapsed.
The ruins and even the broken walls sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace!
"The devil is at work. Could it be that the evil demon king in those legends has awakened again? Could it be that they have taken a fancy to this city and want to eradicate the churches one by one?"
"No, that is divine punishment... Because some of the priests in the Temple of Dawn colluded with evil and betrayed justice, so the God of Dawn punished him and drove that place that condoned evil into the abyss of hell!"
"How is it possible that even if the evil is punished, the innocent people will not be punished together, right?"
"Of course, they are priests. The evil is so close, but they didn't notice it. Do you think the righteous God of the Dawn can allow such a thing? What's the difference between not doing anything and condoning evil?"
"This...although that is indeed the case, but in this way, couldn't the God of the Morning send a warning in advance to give some warning to his priests?"
"Demons have already appeared. It must be too late. However, it may be that the power of those demons is also terrible. They are good at disguising themselves, so even His Majesty Chen Xi has not..."
"You are crazy! Shut up! Confess to His Majesty Chenxi! Your Majesty knows everything! These things, yes, are tests. He must be a test he wants to give to his priests!"
"If you fail the test, is it so serious that you have to pay for it with your life? Fortunately, I believe in His Majesty Watkin. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome if I encountered this kind of test..."
…
Countless rumors spread rapidly in the city, but no one noticed that those disorderly rumors were changing in a strange direction, and it was impossible for anyone to notice that there was a black person behind the communicators of those messages.
figure.
"Oh my, this is such a good technique, it allowed me to see interesting things."
A voice sounded in Edward's ears, causing his brows to frown suddenly!
This voice is very familiar...a little hoarse and completely soft mixed into a charming tune, which is the voice of the drow priest. However, Edward frowned for a moment - Dach
Ni should be thousands of miles away in her own territory, and being able to send sounds into her head out of thin air is definitely not something that the drow priestess can easily do.
"What happened again? How did you find me?" He snorted and responded in his mind.
"Men, pay attention to your attitude!" The impatient indifference in the response silenced the woman's voice for a moment, and then some of the biological emotions in it evaporated in an instant: "What made you produce you?"
Can you already give me the illusion of emotions?"
"Well, Your Majesty, how did you find me?"
"You think it's difficult?" The drow goddess made a cold taunt, but finally gave the answer: "If I can't find you, can't I just find a new target? Now that I know you are acting together with this woman,
