Quadruple split

"Yes, it's a literal massacre."

Monica pursed her lips and recalled with a very ugly face: "Those were two weirdos wearing ragged cloaks and black chains on their hands. They called themselves the Oathbreakers of the God Destroyer Society, and they first found us. They looked very excited and excited until they found the two identical 'fake daggers', and then...just..."

"Have you become crazy?"

Mo Tan kindly provided a contextual reference.

"Well, that's right. When they discovered the two daggers, they went crazy on the spot."

Monica, who couldn't find the right description for a while, nodded and said dryly: "They launched an attack on us without warning. One of the cronies of the president of the Muse Branch probably didn't expect that the other party would suddenly be in pain until his death." The killer was killed, and by the time everyone reacted and tried to resist, one-fifth of them had already fallen."

Mo Tan whistled and said happily: "What's wrong? Did you meet two legends?"

"I'm thinking too much. If I really stumble upon the legend, how can I appear in front of you alive?"

Monica perfectly followed Mo Tan's instructions to "be casual" and said in a tone as if chatting with an old friend: "In my opinion, although those two are extremely strong, they should only be at the level of a high-level peak at most. ”

Mo Tan raised his eyebrows and questioned: "High-level peak? Not even half-step epic? Could your next sentence be that you are the only high-level player in the entire team, and everyone else is just weaned, right?" "

"That must be impossible."

Monica smiled, shook her head and said, "Even if I don't have a good impression of the Muse branch president, I have to admit that the team he temporarily created is of a very high level, even though he is only the branch president of a small town's Thieves Guild. , but including me, the average strength of the group working for him this time is at a high level. Only a few engineering masters and alchemists have lower paper strength, but they are also leaders in related fields. "

Mo Tan smacked his lips and sighed: "So? The way you prove your strength is to have one-fifth of it slaughtered by two 'undead' of the same level in just one encounter? Let's talk about it, don't talk about it. There are more than a dozen high-level ones, even if there are a dozen Nikachu, they won’t be slaughtered in the blink of an eye, right?”

"You may not believe it..."

Rebecca showed a very subtle expression and said with a wry smile: "If there are really more than a dozen Nikachu, those two people probably won't be able to kill them so fast."

"oh?"

Mo Tan touched his chin and asked with interest: "So what exactly is going on? What is so special about those two 'undead' you mentioned?"

"First of all, they're very good at killing people."

In view of Mo Tan's identity, it was naturally impossible for Monica to hide anything about him. Although she maintained a "casual" appearance, she still knew everything and said everything, and immediately replied in detail: "According to my observation , the two people who call themselves Oathbreakers are exactly the opposite of those academic mages who have no strength but no actual combat experience. Maybe their absolute power is not strong, but every action is extremely efficient and deadly. The battle mode It can be said that they are completely born for 'killing', which is one of the reasons why they were able to kill our team in a short period of time."

"It can only be one of the reasons."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said in a brisk tone: "After all, the kind of tactics you mentioned in which all actions are completely for killing is rare, but it will not achieve such an exaggerated feat. So in addition, I am afraid there is something more Reasons for the 'finale'."

Monica smiled coquettishly and sighed: "As expected of Mr. Anthony, he even guessed my little idea of ​​suppressing first and then increasing the drama of the story."

"I don't hate this cute little thought."

Mo Tan winked at Monica and asked patiently: "So, what is the biggest threat to the two 'Oathbreakers'?"

"It can't be killed."

Monica answered happily and said sternly: "It's literally 'unkillable'. Whether it's shooting through the heart, cutting the throat or even decapitating the head, they can continue to act without any influence. All conventionally fatal injuries will be healed in just a few seconds.”

Mo Tan showed a slightly surprised expression and once again raised the possibility that had been ruled out by the other party: "Undead creatures?"

"At least based on my shallow common sense, they don't look like undead creatures."

Monica gently patted the dagger on her waist and said seriously: "I once fought with them briefly, and even pierced the heart of one of them with my own hands, and the warm blood spattered all over my body. , and for undead creatures, the so-called 'warm blood' simply cannot exist, unless they are so bored that they draw the blood of living people, infuse it into their bodies that have long lost vitality, and frequently heat their blood vessels. Just to make others feel alive when they cut me.”

Mo Tan clapped his hands and said approvingly: "Brilliant, continue."

"Also, even undead creatures will have soul fire as their core deep in their heart or skull, unless they are the only lich who can externally store the 'soul box'."

Monica spread her hands and said with a subtle expression: "As far as I know, any clergy, or any existence that has become a 'clergy', can never be transformed into an undead creature, either actively or passively. That's why, although I call them 'undeads', I still think that those two guys are not undead creatures in the conventional sense."

"Wait a minute."

Mo Tan frowned, stroking his chin and asked: "From what you mean, the two so-called oath breakers are actually two clergy?"

"That's right."

Monica used He nodded and said solemnly: "I can swear on the weapon given to me by His Highness that the two members of the God-Destroying Society who claim to be oath breakers are the Paladins of the Dark Night Sect and the priests of the Sun Sect."

Mo Tan pulled the corner of his mouth and said with the same subtle expression as Monica just now: "So what you mean is that the two people in the [God-Destroying Society] are actually the clergy of the Dark Night Sect and the Sun Sect, that is... the followers of the Dark Goddess Delia and the Sun God Tisu?"

"That's right."

Monica sighed and said with a firm face: "All There are clergymen in the [God-Destroying Society] that the gods regard as the ultimate enemy. Not only that, their magic is simply... full of power in my opinion. Unlike those "apostates" who can barely use magic, but have not blasphemed the gods but no longer blindly believe in them, and the power of their magic is greatly reduced, these people who call themselves oath breakers have very powerful magic, which I feel is no less than the most devout fanatics of various sects. "

I have been at odds with the native religion of the [Realm of Innocence] for a long time, and have devoted my heart to studying the nature of its power and even "Ai Vanye" Mo Tan, who regarded it as a practice object for thorough transformation, widened his eyes and looked very happy: "This is incredible!"

It can be seen that something that makes this current 'Tan Mo' feel incredible is indeed incredible. You must know that as the 'clergy' who almost monopolize nearly half of the spellcaster system, the source of their power is naturally the gods they talk about all the time. Because of this, in terms of divine arts, in addition to the reference values ​​of strength, talent, accumulation, etc. that are similar to other professional systems, there is another influential trait, that is - piety.

This is actually very easy to understand, and it means exactly what it says. In short, the more pious the clergy is to the gods they believe in, the greater the power they will have when casting divine arts. Of course, this 'greater' has an upper limit. Although everyone gets slightly different increases in this regard, according to the tireless analysis of countless researchers (mainly the mages of the City of Miracles), the conclusion of 'up to 20% at most' was reached many years ago, and this conclusion is even recognized by the Holy Church Union, the largest religious force.

In other words, if a clergyman with a combat power of 100 raises his piety to the level where a word from God can make him commit suicide on the spot, then he can theoretically exert a combat power of 120 in actual combat, and these extra 20 points cannot be compensated by other professionals in any way.

Quoting the words of a sage of the Truth Council when teaching apprentices, "You can take drugs, and so can charlatans. You can change equipment, and so can charlatans, but he can increase the strength of his magic by 20% with crazy faith. What about you? Even if you call the fire element, the earth element, the wind element, negative energy, or even the evil energy your parents and wife every day, you will only be regarded as a fool."

Similarly, if the faith is not firm enough or even not loyal enough to God, even if you are not punished and purified by God like Mika for directly blaspheming God, you will be affected to a considerable extent when performing magic, and compared with the theoretical maximum increase of 20%, its lower limit of attenuation is - zero.

In other words, extremely impious clergymen are very likely to be unable to use divine arts.

So here comes the question...

Even if we can agree that Mo Tan, a foreigner, appears to be pious enough, that Luke Tifilo, who dares to comment on the goddess' figure, is pious enough in his heart, that Yu Chen, who is favored by two gods, is assumed to be pious as long as he does not blaspheme, and that Ai Fanye, whose mental state has become somewhat delicate after undergoing a lot of "tests" by his master, still has the most basic piety -

Then do the clergymen who join the [God-Destroying Society], an extremely terrorist and violent group, have even a little piety to the gods from top to bottom, from inside to outside, from appearance to essence?

"Haha~"

Mo Tan clapped his hands happily and said cheerfully: "This is not bullshit!"

"Uh...haha, hahaha..."

Although she didn't know why this Tan Mo...or Mr. Anthony was so excited, Monica still laughed twice with high emotional intelligence. After the former put away the rampant arc at the corner of his mouth, she asked carefully: "Then should I continue talking?"

"Say."

Mo Tan waved his hand and said concisely.

"After reacting, we resisted a little, but after realizing that the two crazy oath breakers could not be killed at all, and no matter what kind of damage they suffered, they could heal quickly, everyone finally collapsed after losing one-third of the members."

Although they had different positions, Monica still sighed for the experience of her temporary teammates and smiled bitterly: "After that, they naturally fled in all directions, and the desperate thing was that everyone would run back from another direction the moment they ran out of everyone's sight, and they could not leave the 20-meter visibility range around the two oath breakers at all."

Mo Tan laughed, walked to Monica, whose face was no longer pale, and gently lifted her chin: "If that's the case, how did you escape?"

"Because of this."

Monica raised her little face obediently, pulled out a dark and slender dagger from the leather sheath on the outside of her right leg and handed it to Mo Tan: "I took advantage of the chaos to snatch a 'fake', and used its power to leave the two oath breakers, and then... well, I entered the dream you mentioned in a daze. Do you know what happened?"

"It's probably that after you solved the problem of 'lost', you plunged into [Yellow The territory of the [Dark Crow Eastern Expedition Army]. "

Mo Tan took the [Shadow Fang·Fake] handed over by Monica, and said casually while carefully holding it: "This area was the final battlefield between those charlatans and the [God-Destroying Society], and the area we are in now is the base built by the expeditionary army on one side of the battlefield, called 'Jackraven Castle'."

Monica blinked, followed her thoughts and said: "And the place where we were originally guided by this dagger..."

"Naturally, it is closer to the direction of the [God-Destroying Society]. "

Mo Tan smiled, put the dagger in his hand directly into the bag, and said lightly: "And most likely You chose to go against the guidance of the dagger and broke into the territory of the mortal enemy of the [God-Destroying Society], and were assimilated by the environment the moment you broke in, sinking into the "dream" we just found ourselves in. As for me, after successfully waking up several times, I tried to wake you up by slapping you in the face. "

Monica's smile froze, but soon she touched her face, which had not been slapped outside the dream, and said seriously: "I can understand, after all, the situation is urgent, and you don't have many choices, so..."

"No, I actually have many choices."

Mo Tan shook his head and interrupted Monica, saying seriously: " For example, suppose I say the word "violet" directly in front of you, and after you feel "discord" with the dream, I use keywords such as "female bee" and "regent" that can give you strong stimulation, which can also wake you up from the dream. "

"Ah?"

"Well, so there are actually many ways."

"Uh...Okay, so is slapping more efficient?"

"Not really, it seems that violet is more efficient."

"Then why did you choose to wake me up by slapping?"

"Because I like it!"
