Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 225 The battle in the dream
"The magical item you are talking about is this half candle?"

Angel looked curiously at the small piece of strange-looking candle.

"As long as you hold it and light it, you can enter the depths of my heart and solve my biggest troubles. Of course, that is if you can beat him."

"So how strong is he, or you,?"

Taking the candle, Father Utravsky sat on the bench again.

"I was a warrior," he said with a hint of nostalgia and hatred for the past, "but before I believed in the Mother Goddess and came to Loen, I was already a 'Dawn Knight' in Sequence 6."

Sequence 6, then I should have a good chance of winning by using magical items, coupled with advance preparation and familiarity with him...

Angel assessed the feasibility of the mission and continued to ask:
"Deep down, will this candle weaken him, or weaken me?"

"It seems that you really want to challenge him?" The priest's eyes showed undisguised surprise, "When you hold this 'Heart Nightmare Candle', it will not hurt you, but it will have limited effect on him in the dream. , at most, it’s like he just experienced a fierce battle.”

"After entering the dreamland, you can use all the abilities you could originally use, and the same goes for magical items. He can also use the dreamland to pull you deeper, making you unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, so you can be deceived, or even be deceived in turn. He hunts. And once this candle is used for more than 5 minutes, you will be completely lost, and your spirit will not be able to return to the real body, thus becoming, well, in the words of doctors, becoming a vegetative state."

Dreams... This is indeed more troublesome, but I have had the experience of being pulled into dreams by nightmares many times. In Tingen City, I have a strange resistance to the captain's nightmare ability.After obtaining the secret Holy Emblem and coming to Backlund, he was pulled into a dream by the Nighthawk who had come to investigate the disappearance of the Fusac people, but he was completely awake. It was obvious that Ms. Arianna's Holy Emblem was there. Take effect.

Touching the secret holy symbol on his wrist, Angel gained another hint of confidence.

"Last question, what extraordinary abilities does 'Dawn Knight' have?"

Father Utravsky smiled and said: "This is something that needs to be kept secret for any extraordinary person, but in order for you to succeed and for me to gain new life, I will tell you."

"As a Sequence 6 of the warrior path, the Dawn Knight has a strong body and infinite power. It can fill the surrounding 50 meters with light like the morning sun, drive away evil spirits and break illusions."

"He can also condense a two-handed giant sword made of light, called the 'Sword of Dawn', which is extremely powerful and has a purifying effect. It can cover the body with 'Armor of Dawn', blocking most physical attacks, and will not Affect one’s own actions.”

"The most important thing is that he can create a powerful 'light storm' to destroy all living creatures and evil spirits around him."

These extraordinary abilities reminded Angel of Ms. D from Tingen City, who apparently herded a "Dawn Knight" and was able to make full-body armor, two-handed giant swords, and even destroy the entire villa hall with a "Storm of Light".

"Knowing this, are you still willing to accept the commission and take risks?"

The priest leaned back in his chair, looked at Angel, and asked slowly.His tone was calm, but the veins on the hand holding the "Heart Nightmare Candle" were bulging, indicating that his heart was not as calm as his tone.

"I think it's okay to give it a try. Please let me prepare for it."

Angel is not a reckless person, but according to Father Utravsky's description, she has a good chance of winning this battle, especially with the secret holy symbol, which can resist the erosion of dreams, which is equivalent to eliminating the opponent's biggest obstacle, herself. Although there is only Sequence 7, it is not that difficult to defeat Sequence 6 if you understand the extraordinary ability of "Dawn Knight" and prepare in advance.

Walking to the confession room next to the hall, Angel checked the weapons, ammunition and magical items on his body again. After confirming with the pendulum that the priest was not lying, he returned to the hall.

"I'm ready."

she said solemnly.

Father Utravsky stood up from his chair and handed over the crumpled candle. Angel held it with his left hand, rubbed his fingers with his right hand, rubbed out a small ball of spiritual fire, slowly approached the candle core, and lit it.

Nothing seems to have changed in the surroundings. The tall priest is still standing in front, with the candle beside him burning with a warm flame. The stained glass behind the Holy Emblem of Life is reflected in colorful colors by the sun outside the window.

But the secret holy symbol on Angel's right wrist gave off a peaceful feeling, and she knew that she had entered a dream.The kind face of Father Utravsky in front of him gradually distorted under the candlelight, and his eyes looked at Angel with seemingly real, evil eyes.

The next second, his neck was slashed by an invisible sharp blade, and his head was separated from his neck. He rolled to the ground, leaning on the marble floor with blood stains. His headless body fell backwards heavily, and there was no movement, and his neck sprayed. The blood stained a large area of ​​marble floor red.

Angel was stunned for a moment. Why did the evil priest fall before he even took action?
Then she realized that this was the result of the battle created by the opponent using his power as the master of the dream to look like the real thing.

If she had not been protected by the secret holy symbol and had not stayed awake at all times, I am afraid that she would have thought that she had successfully killed the opponent in the fierce battle and left the dream to find the priest in reality to receive the reward.

And next, the real priest who thought his evil side was killed may be replaced by another one after he lowered his psychological defenses. According to the doctors of the Mother Earth Church, he became an out-of-control monster who only knew how to kill.

After thinking about all this, Angel looked at her left hand that originally held the "Heart Nightmare Candle". It was empty. Then, she took out the dagger, took out the revolver in her right hand, and aimed at the headless corpse on the ground.

"I didn't expect that this would have no effect on you. I didn't want to kill you, but it's a pity that you stayed here to die."

The priest's head on the ground opened his eyes, and his light blue eyes looked at Angel without emotion.

The next moment, the light in the church hall seemed to be swaying, distorting, and becoming illusory. The headless priest's body in front of Angel disappeared, and another priest appeared intact, with his head well on his neck.

His face was distorted, like an evil monster.

"boom--"

Angel pulled the trigger, and the "Storm Gathering" worth 6 pounds, no, 7.5 pounds, was shot towards the opponent's broad chest.

With a "ding" sound, the bullet smashed into pieces on the silver-white armor, leaving a trace of blue and spiderweb-like cracks.

The priest was like Ms. D who fought against the red glove team in Tingen. Her whole body was instantly covered in exquisite and exaggerated armor. He also grabbed a two-handed giant sword condensed with golden light. The giant sword with a length of more than 1.5 meters was in front of this Buddha. The Sacman seemed to have a one-handed weapon in his hand, and he struck at Angel's head with great momentum.

She was well prepared and stepped out of the ice, slowing down the priest. At the same time, she retreated quickly, pulled the trigger continuously, and continued to shoot accurately at the cracks made by the first shot. Two shots shattered the entire breastplate, and the silver White fragments fell like an avalanche and turned into points of light in the air, revealing the priest's uniform inside.

Angel did not continue to shoot, but summoned two balls of black flames, which quickly hit the priest's exposed chest. The latter used the giant sword as a shield to block the two balls of black flames that came at the same time. The golden and black colors devoured each other on the sword. , consumed, and finally the light of the giant sword itself gained the upper hand and drove away the cursed black flame.

But taking this opportunity, Angel had already changed his angle and fired twice at another breastplate under the priest's left armpit, causing new damage.

She wanted to remove the priest's hard armor and then deliver a fatal blow.

The evil priest, whose distorted face was covered inside the helmet, also discovered this. He no longer defended in place. Instead, he stepped on the frost condensed on the ground and walked toward her with long strides. The giant sword in his hand continued to swing as if it was weightless. , leaving Angel with no time to change bullets, so he could only keep dodging.

The tables and chairs in the church hall were smashed into pieces, pieces of marble floor were broken, and even the stone altar under the Holy Emblem of Life was split into two pieces with a knife.

He had inexhaustible stamina, and with one knife and two knives, he chased Angel's figure and kept attacking. Although the latter dodged flexibly, and even found a chance to reload and shoot again and again, he could never find an opportunity to attack the armor. weak position.

And the previously damaged parts of the silver-white armor began to slowly repair, and new armor pieces gradually formed.

How long are the five safe minutes left in "Heartmare Candle"? 5 minutes or 3 minutes?

Angel found that procrastinating like this was definitely not good for him who had limited time, and the priest's conspiracy also surfaced. As long as he delayed for enough time, Angel would not be able to leave with the help of the "Nightmare Candle" and could only become a sacrifice to this dream. Taste.

Without hesitation, she threw away the empty revolver, pressed the magic pocket watch on her left wrist, and switched the dagger to her right hand. While black flames rose from the tip of the dagger, she took the initiative to face the armored priest holding the giant sword high.
