Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Death-born God? Just from his name, Thomas felt a strong sense of shock and uneasiness.

In his eyes, the huge, black baby head was still struggling, constantly fleeing upwards along the direction of the black light column, as if trying to break through some kind of restraint.

And the golden light that kept shooting at him from below knocked him down again and again, and he kept making shrill, sharp explosions, and the terrifying fluctuations from the center became deeper and more violent.

——Boom! Boom! Huge noises kept coming from the center of Gusta Street. Suddenly, in Thomas's field of vision, the black light column suddenly shattered, and fragments of black gas quickly splashed out around!

And at the corner of the street where Thomas was, the sticky, smelly black liquid also surged like a tide. They were like tangled and twisted black maggots, and they quickly approached Thomas' feet.

"Hiss...hiss..." A heart-pounding roar emerged from the strange ripples that kept rising on the surface of the black water. Huge bubbles began to expand and burst, and hands with separated flesh and bones stretched out from them.

The thing quickly crawled out, one, ten, and hundreds of "dead spirits" were born from the black water. They were twisted and hunched like zombies, and their pus-filled and smelly "eyes" randomly scanned the surroundings.

Then, they all looked at "Holy Judge" Connor and the "Adventers" behind him.

What is this thing? It's so disgusting... Thomas looked at the scene in front of him, and his hands had consciously clenched the sword.

The moment those monsters appeared, Thomas detected them on the panel.

[Deformed Undead (lv.7)]

[Race: Undead/Unintelligent Undead]

[Threat Level: Dangerous]

[Health: 153/153, Mana: 15/15]

[Physical Attack: 32, Spell Attack: 2, Defense Reduction: 10]

[Attributes: Strength 16, Constitution 15, Agility 12, Wisdom 1, Divinity 3, Perception 6, Resistance 10, Luck 1]

[……]

——Deformed Undead! Their attributes are double that of the players, and they have a physical attack of up to 32 points. Thomas calculated that even if he added his own resistance and defense reduction, he would die on the spot if he was hit by a deformed undead three times!

However, even so, Thomas still felt excited, unprecedentedly excited.

This was the first monster he had encountered since he descended into this game as a "descender"!

Compared to the serious "patrol", it is still more interesting to see a river of blood!

When he thought about it, most of the players around him had the same idea as him.

Just as Thomas was about to make a move, preparing to wait for "Holy Judge" Connor and other clergymen to come first, and then he would find a "deformed undead" to chop fiercely.

The light and shadow in front of his eyes floated, and it seemed that he had received a new task.

[Triggering limited-time task: The disaster of death birth (?? Difficulty)]

[Recommended level: lv.10, double destiny and above]

[Task type: limited-time task (countdown 2h59min56s)]

[Task description: "Death Birth God" has come, and He devoured the remnants of death and gave birth to countless deformed undead, which are now cruising the streets of the city. It is your duty as a "church patrol" to purify them and prevent them from spreading. ]

[Main mission objective: Purify as many "Deformed Undead" as possible (currently 0/2378, the number of "Deformed Undead" you have purified: 0)]

[Challenge mission objective: Purify "Deathborn God's Son"]

[Completion reward: Basic experience +2000; Purify "Deformed Undead" to get additional basic experience 500*number of kills; Purify 3 "Deformed Undead" and above, get "Rare" quality specialty "Demonic Breaker"! ]

[Challenge completion reward: Basic experience +200000, "Legendary" quality specialty "Hunting God's Son"! ]

[……]

Mission! And it's a "limited time mission"! Thomas paid attention and quickly browsed through it, and his already excited spirit became even more high.

For this mission, as long as everyone solves the current crisis created by the "Deadborn God's Son", they can get a basic 2000 experience points, and as long as they kill a "Deformed Undead" in front of them, the experience points gained can be increased by another 500... It smells good! It smells so good! Compared with the [New Home], the speed of gaining experience is many times faster!

Moreover, as long as you kill three "Deformed Undead", you can get a "rare" quality specialty... Thomas's mouth has curled up a subtle arc.

In addition, this task also has a "challenge goal" - the reward for purifying the "Dead Birth God Heir", which is an astronomical figure in Thomas' eyes at this time!

Not to mention that purifying the "Dead Birth God Heir" can get a "legendary" quality specialty, Thomas doesn't know how to spend the 200,000 experience points rewarded if he can really get it...

However, Thomas still has a good idea of ​​his current strength - "I fight the God Heir?" This idea was strangled as soon as it emerged in his mind. He decided to focus on the present and purify these "Deformed Undead".

If this were a stand-alone game with a "save" function, Thomas would have to do something stupid to try out the "Deathborn God's Heir". But this is an online game, and if he lags behind other players and misses out on this kind of key early rewards, it would be a loss.

Even if it is a "deleted test", it is good to be in the first echelon of player strength and explore the way for the official public beta. At least you can know more than most players and avoid many detours.

Thomas thought that most players have the same idea as Thomas, and it is not ruled out that there are a few players who are stubborn and insist on trying their hand against the "Deathborn God's Heir".

However, since it is a "deleted test" anyway, Thomas did not stop them, but quietly opened the chat channel and waited to watch the show.

While Thomas was browsing the panel and communicating with other players around him in the chat channel, "Inquisitor" Connor had taken a step forward.

"This is a very dangerous enemy, but you, the long swords you hold are enough to purify them." Connor only said this, and then the war hammer in his hand drew a golden ring in the air.

The other "first-level destiny" clergymen stood behind Connor and began to pray, summoning simple and simple holy magic light balls.

"——Roar!" The dozen undead in the front row seemed to have noticed the movement here, and they twisted their bodies and rushed towards Connor.

Connor's face did not have any special reaction, but he swung the war hammer forward, and the golden ring flew towards the undead.

Then, "——Boom!" With a loud bang, the golden ring exploded at the center of the undead gathering, and the golden light mist suddenly spread, covering the dense death energy emitted by the monsters, and the three undead who were still howling were instantly annihilated!

So strong! Watching the "holy judge" Connor swing this holy art, Thomas couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

Connor opened the first gap, and other "first-level" clergymen also threw holy magic balls into the group of undead. Although they could not cause such obvious and considerable damage as Connor, under the concentrated fire of multiple holy magic balls, two undead were annihilated in the golden light.

The first wave of undeads' momentum was blocked, and the players immediately launched a counterattack against the monsters. They charged forward fearlessly and soon started a fierce battle with the undead monsters.

"Wait a minute..." Connor looked at the scene in front of him in shock. He originally planned to stabilize the situation with the church clergy, and then let the newly recruited "church patrols" join the battle, so as to ensure their safety as much as possible.

Connor knew that a battle like this was no joke, but what he didn't expect was... this generation of "church patrols" would be so fearless of life and death. Their faces were filled with the light of desire for battle, as if they were born to fight on the battlefield!

This made Connor's originally prepared tactics ineffective. He temporarily changed his prayer and picked up the warhammer to join the close combat.

...

After Luo Xiu assisted "Saint Deacon" Hubert to blast the ground in the center of Gusta Street, a strong light column containing a large amount of death spirits rose into the sky. Then, the "Death God Heir" drilled a huge head from the crack and tried to break through the blockade set by Hubert and Luo Xiu.

But He failed. When He was about to escape by climbing the black light, the golden warhammer thrown upward from below with terrifying force accurately hit His body and knocked Him down from the sky!

"So...hungry..." "Death God Heir" was still murmuring like a baby, but his voice was trembling, as if covering up some kind of intense pain.

The golden hammer thrown by Hubert soon returned to Hubert's hand. He looked coldly at the body of the heir of the [Lost] Primordial Mother, which was sewed and spliced ​​together from pieces of rotten flesh, and finally infused with "true divinity" by some taboo means.

The huge head like a baby is almost the whole of His body. Two arms that are fat and short compared to the head are hanging on both sides of His head, which look twisted and weird.

And behind His neck is the slender and ugly back half like a centipede. The undeveloped body is very deformed. Wisps of deep, ominous black fog shroud Him, and the spirit of death is still radiating from it.

That is the "Death Birth God Heir"... Looking at such an ugly and twisted creature in front of him, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart.

At the moment when He was forced out of the underground by Hubbert and Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu had completed the panel detection of Him.

[Incomplete Heir of the Birth of the Dead], that is a monster at level 52, belonging to the "God", and the threat level is at the disaster level, just like the "Three-Headed Demon Bull" Epiros who was trapped in the seal in the forest outside the city before.

All of His attributes are ridiculously high, among which "Constitution", "Divinity" and "Perception" are the highest, and these three attributes have exceeded thousands.

Fortunately, He was not allowed to complete the complete birth, otherwise the complete form of the "Heir of the Birth of the Dead" would not be something Hubbert and I could deal with... Luo Xiu thought with some relief.

In the current situation, the strength of the "Heir of the Birth of the Dead" in front of him is not too outrageous, and it is still within the range that Luo Xiu can control.

Hubert was confronting the "Death God's Heir", while Luo Xiu was observing the battle situation and preparing a prayer about using the holy spell. At the same time, new content popped up on his panel.

That was when I accepted a new limited-time mission, [Death Catastrophe]. The mission difficulty was an unknown indication of "?", but the reward was quite generous.

By purifying the "deformed undead" that were born from the "Death God's Heir", you can get a lot of experience points as rewards, and you can also get a "rare" quality specialty "Disaster Breaker". In addition, after completing the purification of the "Death God's Heir", you can also get 200,000 experience points and the legendary expertise "Hunting God's Heir", which made Luo Xiu's eyes flash with a deep light.

He knew that this limited-time task could be triggered by all players who participated in the event. Through the sharing and discussion of players in the forum and channel, Luo Xiu had also confirmed this. Most of the players in the city were aware of this sudden incident. Events are gathering in the direction of Gusta Street, which is in line with Luo Xiu's purpose of guiding the players.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu hid the panel and began to focus on preparing for the battle with the "Death God's Heir" in front of him.

"——Roar!" Suddenly, the Death God Heir raised his huge head and let out a deafening roar.

The two stubby arms hanging around his neck immediately ignited with black flames, and the centipede-like half of his body behind him crawled quickly on the ground and pounced in the direction of Hubert.

He opened his arms at the same time, and the burning, taboo black flames suddenly formed two huge whirlpools of flames, roaring and sweeping in the direction of Hubert!

Click! Wherever the black flame whirlwind passed, the houses instantly cracked and collapsed like powder. The disintegrated and torn parts hovered at the edge of the whirlwind like sharp blades, and when they cut through the air, they emitted a sharp blade-like sound. Boom.

The air suddenly became stagnant, and the expression on Hubert's face became more serious than ever.

He looked warily at the Death God's heir who was rushing toward him crazily, and at the same time he said some kind of sacred, ancient prayer.

"——I declare by my oath to purify my sins."

"—I pray in the name of Hubert."

"——My body, my soul, everything I carry."

"—All is given to the lion of the heart."

Just before the whirlwind of black flames arrived, Hubert grasped the handle of the war hammer with both hands and raised it flat above his chest.

A ring shield shining with golden light appeared in front of him, standing between him and the black flame whirlwind.

Behind Hubert, another illusory beast figure shining with golden light appeared faintly.

It was a pure white lion wearing armor.

It was lying on Hubert's shoulder, its eyes with burning golden light staring at the dead god heir opposite, and in its hairy paws, a handle of dazzling light that could not be directed was slowly condensed. The giant sword of sight.

…

--boom!

Connor suddenly swung a hammer in front of him, and half of the body of a deformed undead was immediately shattered by the hammer, and the other half of the body was twisted and turned into nothingness.

As the best among the "two-fold destiny" extraordinary people, every swing of Connor's war hammer will completely "purify" a deformed undead, although the undead are still coming towards Connor in a steady stream. came, but could not pose much threat to him in a short period of time.

While hitting the warhammer accurately on the head of each "deformed undead", Connor was also paying attention to the fighting of the surrounding "church patrols".

The enchanted swords assigned by the church to these "patrolls" struck the undead bodies with their sharp blades again and again, and the scorching golden light overflowed from the slash marks on the undead bodies, constantly burning them to death. The flesh and blood of birth.

"Hiss...his!" The dead souls let out painful, ear-piercing howls. Their deformed arms suddenly twisted into sharp claws dripping with black liquid, and they clawed at the surrounding "church patrols" crazily!

Connor witnessed this scene. Being entangled by more than a dozen undead spirits, he was unable to go over to support them. He could only wait anxiously and pessimistically for the destined outcome.

As Connor watched, the "church patrols" who rushed forward were immediately surrounded by the surrounding undead monsters. They attacked the patrols like crazy and quickly tore their bodies into pieces.

Blood continued to flow from the broken limbs, gathering into a bloody and sticky pool of blood on the ground. More and more undead souls came up, and they "eat" the corpse of the newly killed patrol. It wasn't long before it was eaten up.

"..." Looking at the purgatory-like scene in front of him, even though Connor had seen similar horrific scenes, the corners of his eyes still twitched uncontrollably.

"May your souls go to the eternal kingdom of heaven..." Connor silently prayed for the victims in his heart.

However, as soon as he finished praying for the sacrificed guards, he saw, in the center of the gathering of dead souls, wisps of white silk thread suddenly floating out, and "weaving" a new thread in the open space not far away. , the same figure as the previously sacrificed guard.

Like puppets appearing out of thin air, their figures gradually changed from illusion to reality. The "patrol" who had just died actually "lived" again in front of Connor!

"...?" Looking at the strange changes happening in front of him, Connor's attention was completely shocked by such an incredible scene. He didn't even notice that his arm was scratched with a bloody scar by the approaching undead.

The "reborn" patrolman shook his arm, a light of excitement appeared on his face, and he shouted:

"——I'm resurrected!!!"

Then, even though the sword in his hand had been lost in the tide of undead, he still rushed into the monster pile in front of him without fear. Under the cover of other patrols, he picked up the sword he had lost before and slashed at the nearest undead.

Just like when they first joined the battle, they were fanatical and fearless.

"..."

"Who are they..."

Connor muttered in a daze. He smashed the body of the undead that approached him. At this time, he only felt that his worldview was collapsing rapidly.

...
