Chapter 112: Full strength, dragon flame spurts!
[Beyond Death] Was this "forbidden artifact" stolen from the Church of Silence by the Dark Moon Church nine hundred years ago?
Deya, who was hiding aside in the form of a ghost, was surprised to hear what the middle-aged woman in the uniform of the Church of Silence said.
But on second thought, it is really possible.
[Beyond Death] This forbidden artifact is of little use to most extraordinary professionals.
This forbidden object can only be considered a treasure for those with extraordinary professions related to death.
The most typical one is the necromancer like Deya, followed by the priest who has mastered the "realm of death".
exactly,
The priest of the Church of Silence is the one who has mastered the 'realm of death'.
'The Dark Moon Goddess snatched Beyond Death, probably to facilitate the birth of the Undead Scourge Mage.'
'Only the combination of the power of the Dark Moon Goddess and the forbidden artifact that transcends death can unleash the true power of a Scourge Mage.'
Deya is not in a hurry. Looking at the tense atmosphere between the two sides, there is a high possibility that a fight will break out.
What Deya is waiting for is for them to fight and both sides to suffer losses, so that he can benefit from it.
There are about twenty people in the Church of Silence, while there are less than ten people in the Dragon Feast Cult.
The main reason was that the Dragon Feast Cult dispersed its team and sent some people to dig dragon bones.
But even so, the Silent Church, which has the advantage in numbers, still dares not act rashly, which shows that the strength of the Dragon Feast Cult may be stronger.
In other words, the leader named Andrew is stronger!
Deya, who transformed into a 'ghost' form, was not worried about being discovered.
This magic unique to the Dark Moon Goddess cannot be detected by any spell. He can hide aside and listen to what they say.
Andrew was wearing a robe embroidered with a dragon claw logo. He was thin, with sparse hair and sunken features. He looked like an undead creature that had just crawled out of a grave.
He looked at the people from the Silent Church in front of him and laughed, "Barbara, you don't have to use the Silent Church to pressure me.
Maybe others may be afraid of you, the Church of Silence, but we, the Dragon Feast Cult, are not.
I can sense that you are actually afraid, and can only use words to embolden yourself."
Andrew's mouth curled up into a mocking smile again: "Why did your Silent Church send so few people here? You are a six-ring pastor, there is nothing you can do."
Barbara looked grim, just as Andrew said, she was afraid.
The Andrew in front of him was a seven-ring dragon vein warlock. Their Church of Silence had also dealt with the Dragon Feast Cult.
These members of the Dragon Feast Cult possess the 'Dragon Feast Secret Art', which allows them to use the power of dragons to greatly strengthen themselves.
Even if they are of the same rank, no one dares to say that they can definitely defeat a cult member who can transform into a dragon, let alone the fact that they are still one level short.
"Andrew, you know, this continental island is 'taboo', and no one wants to set foot here."
Barbara's tone softened a lot. Since the hard approach didn't work, she was going to try the soft approach.
Andrew mocked: “This place is indeed taboo, this land will suppress the strength of the high ring position.
But it has a stronger suppressive effect only on you people from the nine orthodox churches, so the 7th ring people in your church don’t want to come, fearing that they will lose the opportunity for promotion in the future.
Only you, a poor, abandoned little thing, were sent here. Oh, abandoned Barbara, what do you think of this name? "
Barbara's face turned red as she listened to Andrew's arrogant laughter.
It was a very bad feeling to have her scars exposed to others. If she hadn't known that she couldn't beat Andrew, she would have taken action long ago.
“I don’t know what things your Orthodox Church has done in the past that have angered heaven and man, causing this land to reject you so much.
Go away, Barbara. For the sake of the Church of Silence, I can spare your life, but if you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude."
Andrew narrowed his cloudy eyes and walked to the broken statue of the Dark Moon Goddess.
"Look, even gods can fall. For your own life, I would leave immediately if I were you."
Andrew looked carefully at the ring on the statue's finger.
He didn't know what this thing was, but since the Church of Silence wanted it, he would not give it to her but would snatch it away!
"That's just a false god!"
As a believer, Barbara subconsciously refuted and advised, "...Andrew, that thing is useless to the Dragon Feast Cult. You might as well give it to me. It can also earn a favor from the church."
Andrew ignored Barbara. He just stared at the ring and didn't take it directly.
Since this thing is so valued by the Church of Silence and is regarded as a holy object, who knows if there are any trap magic on it.
Those who can reach the 7th ring are careful enough and will not let themselves fall into the trap easily.
Seeing that Andrew was unmoved, Barbara said angrily: "Damn you Dragon Feast Cult, you guys have offended the dragon, and your fate will not be good!"
This sentence seemed to have caught the cat's tail. Andrew jumped up and said sharply: "Dragon? What's a dragon!
We, the Dragon Feast Cult, will kill all the giant dragons and take away their power. The giant dragons will only become our slaves and our food!"
The people of the Dragon Feast Cult hate it most when someone threatens them with a giant dragon.
Andrew took a deep breath, and after checking for a long time, he thought the ring was not dangerous, so he squatted down and prepared to pick it up.
Barbara's expression changed: "You forced me to do this! Do it!"
The members of the Church of Silence who followed behind her rushed forward without any hesitation.
If she fails to retrieve the church's holy relics, she will be severely punished when she returns.
Thinking of the church's punishment, Barbara would rather choose to fight with Andrew!
The two sides immediately started fighting.
Barbara's flesh and blood quickly shrank and turned into a being similar to an undead creature.
Deya already had a detailed understanding of common mythical powers, which allowed him to better respond when facing enemies above the sixth ring.
[Chant of Silence] This mythical power allows the user to switch between the forms of 'ghost' and 'undead'.
After transforming into an undead creature, the strength attribute will decrease, but it will be immune to negative forms such as fear and dizziness.
After transforming into 'ghost form', the enemy's physical attacks can be greatly weakened.
This is a mythical power that is extremely suitable for spellcasters. It allows spellcasters to use spells calmly and can also improve their survivability when being approached.
If a physical profession obtains this mythical power, it is very likely that its own strength will be reduced.
After all, the reduction in strength attributes has too much impact on physical professions.
Andrew is a senior cadre of the Dragon Feast Cult. His mythical power is the same as Andy's before, which is the will of chaos.
With the power of his Dragon Feast, this seventh-ring warlock is one of the most powerful even among the seventh-ring warlocks.
All members of the Dragon Feast Cult can undergo "dragon transformation". Deyad immediately concluded that the people of the Church of Silence would definitely be killed by the Dragon Feast Cult. It just depends on how long they can hold out.
In order to snatch the forbidden item from the powerful seven-ring warlock, Deya made some calculations and determined that it would not work to confront the enemy head-on.
But his advantage is that the other party doesn't know his existence.
If I launch a full-strength sneak attack right from the start, I wouldn't say I can kill this seventh-ring warlock outright, but it is possible that I can make him lose his combat effectiveness.
Deya touched the 'Dragon Feast Crystal' in his arms. He didn't expect that he would have to use it before the 'Dragon Feast Crystal' was even warm.
But these disposable items should be used at critical moments.
I can't be like someone playing an RPG game and be reluctant to use expensive disposable items.
This is reality, no item or prop is more important than your own life.
And exchanging a Dragon Feast Crystal for 'Beyond Death' is a very good deal!
Deya quickly disconnected the ritual magic, and as a 'ghost' he only felt himself being sucked back by a huge force.
The next moment, Deya opened his eyes.
Beside him, the Paladin Squad and Upton were on guard. When Alfred saw Deya wake up, he asked happily, "Deya, were you using any magic just now?
There's a fight going on over there, should we go take a look?"
No matter how big the ruins are, the battle of a seventh-ring warlock will cause huge spell fluctuations and destruction.
"Those are the people of the Silent Church fighting the Dragon Feast Cult. Alfred, you and your team have already found the ruins. You don't need to join this battle. You can go back to the church and report."
Deya thought about it and decided to persuade Alfred and the others to leave.
The next battle will be dangerous. Deya has means to save his life, but these paladins cannot turn on invincibility, and they are likely to die facing this level of battle.
Alfred held Deya’s shoulders and said seriously, “I just want to help you as a friend.
If you really need me to give you an excuse, I have a very good one: this rainforest is Susaitani territory.
Whether it is the Dragon Feast Cult or the Silence Church, they set foot on this land without notice and are still stealing Susaitani's items. As a member of the church and the son of the Duke, I must protect Susaitani's authority!"
Deya hesitated to speak.
Well, these paladins are really stubborn, I don’t think I can persuade them.
He said decisively: "Okay, but we have to sneak over there, so there shouldn't be too many people, just you, me and Upton.
Fanny, don't say anything yet. When you see my bone dragon appear, you can quickly run over and join the battlefield."
At this time, Deya must make them obey his command.
Seeing that Deya had arranged everything in detail, everyone agreed with his tactics.
"Upton, you still have spell slots, right?"
"There's some left."
"Then use 'Melt into the Forest' on me and Alfred."
Under the druid's spell, Deya and the other two became one with the rainforest.
When he was in ghost state before, Deya had a detailed understanding of the surrounding routes. He returned to the ruins as quickly as possible and lurked in the bushes.
With the ability of forest druids, no one can detect them when they are invisible.
In the battle between the Church of Silence and the Cult of Dragon Feast, just as Deya had expected, the Cult of Dragon Feast had the upper hand.
Even the battle was one-sided from the beginning.
Facing the members of the Dragon Feast Order who were able to transform into dragons, the Church of Silence was no match at all.
The difference in ring numbers between the two leaders, Barbara and Andrew, also makes it impossible for a miracle to happen in this battle.
Barbara is relatively weak among the six-ring ones, while Andrew is among the strongest among the seven-ring ones.
This completely miscalculated Deya's idea of profiting from the situation.
"The opponent's strength is different from what I expected. The plan has changed. The Dragon Feast Cult has not suffered too much damage. There is no need for us to fight them head-on.
Alfred, you and Upton go back to where we were right now and tell Fanny and the others not to come over.
I'm going to launch a full-scale sneak attack, grab the items and run away!"
Hiding in the rainforest bushes, Deya whispered.
Although Alfred has a stubborn temper, he is not a fool.
Seeing the overwhelming strength of the seven-ring warlock named Andrew, he knew that if he continued to fight to the death at this time, he would be seeking death.
He nodded and patted Deya's shoulder gently: "Then be careful, Deya, we will wait for you to retreat together."
Alfred knew that Deya had the ability to transform into a group of crows. The 'Son of God' in the World Memories used this ability to make everyone helpless against him.
If you use this ability to steal something and run away, the chances of success are very high.
Deya nodded silently.
Upton didn't say anything. Like Alfred, he patted Deya on the shoulder and retreated in silence.
At this time, the six-ring druid who was injured and had exhausted all his mythic power and a five-ring paladin were a burden here.
The two of them knew this and did not want to be a burden, so they took the initiative to retreat.
The druid and paladin leave, and Deja continues to lurk in the bushes.
If it were a complete form, a true seven-ring dragon that could wield mythical power, it would be able to take down this warlock.
However, Deya can only allow his bone dragon to use the mythical power for one minute now.
"That Barbara is such a loser. I thought she could drain the opponent's energy."
Deya secretly complained in his heart.
At this time, the Dragon Feast Cult and the Silence Church had decided the winner.
All members of the Church of Silence were killed, while only a few members of the Dragon Feast Cult died.
Barbara, the pastor of the church, was lying on the muddy ground, breathing heavily, her life hanging by a thread. She just looked at the people of the Dragon Feast Cult with ferocious eyes.
Andrew walked over slowly, wanting to laugh and make a declaration of victory.
'It's now! ’
Deya acted decisively and used the negative energy space to summon the seven-ring bone dragon that he had obtained not long ago.
Simultaneously,
He also used the 'Dragon Feast Crystal' without hesitation.
“Ang ang ang——————”
With the blessing of the ancient spirit, the most ancient dragon power descends.
Under the might of this giant dragon with mythical power, even Andrew, a seventh-ring warlock, was caught off guard and his body froze for a moment.
Deya seized this opportunity and issued an order:
"Dragon Flame, full strength!"
[Ancient Spirit. Acidic Breath. Full Power Spray]
The dragon's breath gushed out from the bone dragon's mouth for a whole minute without stopping, and the dragon's breath, like strong acid, fell to the ground!
