With a muffled groan, the ground beneath the knight's feet suddenly shattered, and the originally flat asphalt collapsed with a bang, with cracks appearing all around.
The ripple-like air waves overturned the already shaky wall next to it. Under the chain collapse, the priest who was watching the show and the terrified onlookers who could not help but want to continue watching, quickly stepped back a few steps.
The dust waves dissipated, and the sword that Victor pressed down with both hands trembled slightly, while the opponent's arms, wrapped in layers of chains, also trembled under this huge pressure.
The wrestling between the two seemed to have not yet been decided, but the slowly flowing red from the knight's mouth and his clenched teeth said it all.
The power of the destructive attack is stronger than I imagined... but the cost is also quite high...
Ah, I want to suck blood...
Victor only had time to think of these things before the knight, who had already realized that he was at a disadvantage in defense, instantly burst out with his magic power. The same brutal force came and actually bounced Victor's sword away.
Then, the knight swung away the remaining chains without hesitation, and Victor quickly raised the giant sword in front of him. With two bangs, a huge impact force came and blew him away without any leverage.
Victor took the opportunity to create some distance and did a 360-degree spin in the air to remove the thrust. When he landed and was about to adjust his position, he heard a sudden sound of breaking air behind him!
He raised his head hastily and saw that the crossed chains had fallen heavily from the sky, emitting sacred runes.
There was no way. Victor could no longer care about being elegant. He could only roll over to dodge the attack. At that moment, he saw the chain fall to the ground, cracking the earth with a bang, and leaving behind a glittering spell that erupted with a second purification.
Wow, what a smooth little combo.
After a burst of attacks, the opponent's attack became slightly weaker and finally stopped continuously, but slowly retracted the chain.
This outburst also caused the opponent to fall into a "brief vacuum period" of magic overload.
But Victor did not fight back immediately, because he was not sure of the opponent's true state and tactics - just like just now, he was clearly the first to gain the advantage, but was unexpectedly forced to dodge in an awkward manner by the opponent's continuous attacks.
Of course, this has nothing to do with strength or weakness. It is simply the opponent's skills and experience. When faced with the sword's powerful blow, he quickly made the best solution and performed the best combo.
Obviously, the opponent has rich experience in fighting with big swords, and he can continuously manipulate the chains as if they were arms in just a few seconds. His skills are also superb enough.
You know, few people use strange weapons such as chains, whips, and sickles. Not only is it difficult to use them, but the less skilled you are, the longer the interval between each attack will be.
Commonly known as, the back swing is too big.
Unfortunately, even though Victor had fought against weapons such as meteor hammers in a certain dungeon world, he had never seen anyone simply use chains.
This can no longer be considered an "unpopular weapon", it is simply a weird weapon.
But having said that, while Victor valued the other party, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
This guy, the move just now always gave him a familiar feeling...
Your ultimate move, could it be that you steal other people's skills?
Fortunately, the other party did not make any similar moves. He just became more serious after retracting the chains.
The mark on the chain does not mean "destroying the devil", but Exorcism.
Oh, exorcism.
The so-called rest is nothing more than physical purification.
Perhaps the desire for blood has begun to take effect, or perhaps the blood in the body has begun to boil after being burned.
Victor grinned, and the blood-red runes on the bloody sword suddenly shone.
Once you can fight back, twice you can fight back too.
But...how many destructive blows can you withstand?
What's more, there will be magic this time.
As he ran and swung his sword, the magic circuits on his body gradually lit up. The originally broken earth began to stir, and two rotating water blades appeared on Victor's arms, tumbling up and down.
He never forgot that he was a.
magician.
……
Forget it, I won’t tell them.
In the distance, the thoughtful Ulysses quickly made a decision. For him, there was no benefit in telling Talvis and Geserbarune that the other party was here.
Indeed, the territory he controlled, Sevieria, was not a great religious power, and the power of the other world was rather scarce. Even the doctrine he believed in was considered a minority in Christianity. But this did not hinder his status, and he was absolutely equal to other cardinals.
In other words, since the other party ran into his sheep pasture...
No matter how the other party is dealt with, the other cardinals have no reason or even the right to hold him accountable.
Unless it interferes with the actions of other bishops, or there is a conflict between doctrines.
Frankly speaking, for a priest who has no military power (although he has no military power, in fact, according to the classification of magicians, he has already reached the level of a first-class magician), he still advocates cooperation. It’s just... facing Altluchi and Brad, he can actively seek cooperation, and even with the Old Church.
But...Ulysses looked left and right and found that the other party's power seemed to be much lower than the "ancestor" he understood -
Generally speaking, if someone can inherit the Principle Blood Ring and the effect of the Baptism Chant on the opponent is only to slow down the opponent's pace, and can't even cause damage, then he should be a high-level Dead Apostle (the level of Dead Apostles is nine, the high-level Dead Apostles are the seventh level, and the low-level Dead Apostles are the sixth level. There is no intermediate level.)
Newly born ancestors are often weaker, but they can also rise to the top of the senior Dead Apostles.
However, it was normal for the other party to suppress his guards. After all, his guards were not strong in offense, but in defense and restraint. However...
Sure enough, it's still too weak.
Ulysses was certain in his heart that whether in terms of strength, speed, or even the fluctuations of magical power, the opponent gave him the feeling of being just a low-level Dead Apostle.
In other words, the other party must have forcibly inherited the Principle Blood Ring from Brad through some means, such as parents, or through curses or seals. With Brad's ability, Ulysses felt that he could definitely do this.
After all, Brad's true identity is a demon, who is extremely good at sacrifice and control. In order to prevent the church from sealing this power, they, who gave them power, just created a relative and forced them to inherit the Principle Blood Ring. Ulysses would not be surprised.
In that case, it would be a good deal for myself.
Ulysses, who always seemed gentle, had a cold look in his eyes for a few moments. He chuckled and waved to the limp female magician in the distance.
"Do you know where the church in Apatin is?"
He looked at the other person gently as he approached fearfully step by step, smiled and took the other person's hand, and placed a letter in the other person's palm.
"Go there and give this to the manager there, and then, talk to him."
"Three words, choir, will do."
"Go, lost sheep."
"..." The female magician looked at the thing in her hand with a look of despair on her face. Are you kidding me? Can you please not involve me in your fight with gods?
I'm already unlucky enough, and seeing as there are only two of you, and you're being beaten by that Dead Apostle, and you even asked her to ask for help - I can't believe you no matter how I look at it.
What if that dead apostle runs away...it would be strange if I don't settle accounts with her!
She was cowardly for a long time, and finally asked with trembling lips: "Can I...can I refuse?"
"Reject?" The priest was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect such an answer, but he quickly reacted, shook his head, and chuckled, "How could that be?"
"Of course, if..." He looked at the other person tenderly:
"If you want to return to the Lord's arms."
……
Victor actually noticed this.
He wanted to stop it, but as soon as he turned around, the two chains behind him would instantly wrap around him like poisonous snakes, forcing him to turn around and deal with it.
Before they knew it, the two had fought dozens of times.
At the beginning, the opponent still wanted to fight back, but after two or three fights, he remained silent.
He just acted like a cuckold and did everything to resist Victor's attacks.
The wounds on his body were broken in seven or eight places because his body could not withstand Victor's impact, and even the ears under the hood were oozing blood, but he still locked his eyes on Victor, showing an attitude that said, "If you don't kill me, you can't leave." This made Victor feel depressed.
The advantage was his, but he was in a hurry.
The other party may seem to be pursuing you, but in fact they are delaying you.
After all, he never forgot that his first need was just to "escape".
It was obviously unwise to fight the Holy Church to the end. He began to realize why the other party had not taken direct action from the beginning until now, but had forced him to stop each time, stuck to him, and then waited for him to take the first move.
Because the opponent has such advantages, not only does he have experience, but the latecomer can also defeat the opponent by targeting him.
Moreover, the church is not in a hurry. They just need to move slowly, block Victor's steps, and wait for support to arrive step by step.
Frankly speaking, he didn't really want to use AOE or big moves to clear the field, create chaos and escape.
Because that would attract more attention and be more likely to be discovered by other powerful beings.
Victor was silent for a moment, and finally turned his gaze towards the cardinal - who was now sorting out the crowd.
The surrounding buildings have begun to collapse, and countless ordinary people have been buried in the ruins in their sleep.
The loud noise had already attracted people's attention. In this situation, the magicians' simple suggestive magic seemed inadequate, and at this time, the terrifying nature of the church priest was highlighted.
He was seen holding up the holy book and reciting softly.
The clear sound could be heard from far away, and almost every ordinary person who heard it would immediately dispel the fear, curiosity, and even distracting thoughts in their hearts, turn around calmly, and leave. They would walk very far, then go to a safe place and forget everything.
Maybe, there will be some that slip through the net, but that’s okay.
Afterwards, someone will be assigned to handle it.
The Magicians Association will also intervene at the first opportunity.
It’s just…even though Apatin is also a small city, this happened in the dead of night. Moreover, it was not like Fuyuki City during the Holy Grail War, which was in a special stage with everyone’s familiars flying everywhere. The battle took place in a black market alley bar that was not easy to find. Even for the church, it would take some time to react.
Chapter 33: The Merciful Priest is Not Merciful
Therefore, Victor thought he had plenty of time, but the premise was... no one would report the news.
And now, the other party is so open and aboveboard that they sent someone to report the news in front of him. On the one hand, in addition to the fact that he has indeed made the other party feel the pressure and strength, it is more likely that the other party wants to put pressure on himself. When facing two people blocking you, if one of the breakthrough points cannot be conquered for a long time and you are anxious, what will you do?
Answer: Pick the soft persimmons.
Attack the other one that looks weaker.
This is what Victor subconsciously thought when he looked at the priest just now.
Compared to a fully-armed knight, the seemingly weak priest is obviously easier to bully.
But as a cardinal, Victor honestly didn't think the other party had no means to protect themselves.
Oppress yourself and put pressure on yourself - maybe the other party is expecting you to attack him.
Come to think of it... the other party seemed to have been standing in the crowd... standing among the group of magicians watching the show.
This seems very contradictory...
Because even if the bishop is not a kind knight like Liz who does not care about other people's lives, he should keep his distance to prevent himself from attacking others at any time and using their blood to replenish them.
Using spells to make ordinary people leave, while allowing yourself to stay among the crowd?
On the one hand, he made himself appear as harmless as possible, hiding in a corner for fear of being attacked, and on the other hand, he seemed so fearless...
The logic of human behavior must be reasonable and traceable, and this contradictory sense of separation always makes Victor feel that he has overlooked a key point of some logic.
However, Victor quickly suppressed this doubt in his heart, and he did not have much time to analyze and think.
In short, no matter what, he must try his best... to stop the female magician from leaving!
So, he decisively abandoned the knight who had been suppressing him for a long time in vain, and rushed towards the priest and the panicked female magician who was stumbling and crawling to escape.
Seeing his behavior, the next second, the "Stone" Knight behind him who had been silent finally became anxious, and the chains twitched with a rattling sound. In an instant, two chains attacked straight from behind!
Like a sharp sword!
Okay, okay, Q and passive are fine, but you also have E, right?
Victor, who was using his magic perception to keep his eyes and ears open, didn't even bother to look. The moment his body suddenly accelerated, ripples suddenly appeared behind him and the dark green sea seemed to flash by.
The next second, two green ghosts staggered out from behind Victor, and then crashed into the chains with a bang. While blocking the chains with a painful wail, they were instantly ignited by the sacred mark and burned to ashes in endless pain.
Victor naturally turned a blind eye to this tragic situation.
The ghost crew inherited from Brad were originally enslaved soul cannon fodder. They were immortal in the domain and their status was not much higher than that of the earth puppets summoned by Victor before. As for being purified, they might not be able to be resurrected...
Well, it’s good to be purified, just consider it as a liberation.
Of course, the main reason is that constructing defensive magic on the spot and summoning are too strenuous. Even the simplest defensive magic will slow down the process a little, and this is also the purpose of the other party as a guard.
Victor would naturally not be fooled, so he would just sacrifice some cannon fodder.
Victor stared at the fleeing female magician and the priest who was blocking the way, silently chanting the Bible and guiding the lambs among a group of magicians. He took two sudden steps, leaped up fiercely, and suddenly shot the blood-red sword in his hand straight at the back of the female magician.
