Xiuxian became the king of witches

"Are you two in a hurry to leave now? It's almost time for the sacrament to be ready, how about—"

boom--

Seeing the witch get up to bid farewell, the old pastor next to him was about to invite the two to taste the communion together, but the sudden violent fluctuations from outside the church interrupted his old words.

"It's not good, Pastor Valenille! The gargoyle is gone!"

Chapter 55 The Puppet Master and Sumo

"That's the guardian of the church, how could it suddenly lose control!"

Valenriel tried his best to look into his dim eyes, trying to see clearly through the colorful glass, but only reflected the incredible brilliance of his eyes.

"Now is not the time to be surprised, it's better to figure out the situation first."

The mind's eyes caught the sound in the distance, and the heavy collision was accompanied by a strange roar, which instantly filled the witch's star eyes with a slight solemnity.

As the church's special puppets, the gargoyle's production method is strictly kept secret, and Higrit only understands the general operating principle.

Its power source comes from the church's daily accumulation of religious power, so the gargoyle can only act near the church after waking up.

At the same time, only large churches like Lavria Church have the power reserves and supporting rune formations to awaken the gargoyles.

In addition to the effect rune chain, the rune core inscribed on the gargoyle itself is also mixed with a large number of encrypted rune chains to prevent the enemy from invading and controlling.

It's almost impossible for a rampage like this to happen for no reason.

"Giles, go check the formation core of the church first, and turn off the energy transmission of the gargoyle. Your Highness Rhine and Miss Herman, can you please accompany me out to check the situation?"

Valenille's eyes were dim, but his head was still awake after all.He first gave orders to the priest who came to report, and then nervously asked for help from the two witches next to him.

Because of the strict control of Ota's law, the armed forces of the Church of Truth are very limited. Even the largest church in the country is only equipped with five median combat priests.

At this moment, it is naturally Valenlie's best choice to win Higrit, after all, he also knows that this witch has the strength comparable to a high-ranking warrior.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Just as the priest was about to leave, Higrit suddenly stopped him.

"I will go with you to check the formation core of the church."

Valenille glanced at the meditating witch with some hesitation, but still nodded slightly to the priest next to him, signaling him to obey the arrangement.

"Your Highness, go outside to support first. There are only medium-sized gargoyles in this church. According to the training these days, you can easily hold them back with the sun."

The deep eyes turned to Janna again, full of deep encouragement and expectations, and the same serious luster was reflected in the girl's pupils.

In the recent relationship, apart from dealing with those messy things, the witch is also taking time to train Janna to wake up her nature.

Under Higrit's careful guidance, Her Royal Highness has now been able to temporarily disengage from assistance to wake up the sun, and this moment is the best actual combat test.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Janna naturally trusted the witch, the ring of her index finger radiated dazzling light spots, and the sharp magic-clothed long sword was in her hand instantly, and there seemed to be an urge to try amid the flickering of the sword light.

"Cherry, you have to stay here."

Before acting, Higrit stroked Cherry's orange hair again.

After experiencing the tragedy of the fire before, the accident at this time seems to have aroused the shadow in the girl's heart, and the color of panic flickered between the big pupils.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Those short words instantly soothed the restlessness of the girl's body and mind, and her light head responded to her determination.

"I can protect myself!"

So cute and strong, but in exchange for a witch's smile.

After making proper arrangements, everyone did not waste any more time, and immediately started to split up.

"The core of the formation is set in the basement of the transept, please go down here, Miss Herman."

The priest in charge of leading the way did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly led the witch through the hall and corridor to the staircase entrance of the basement.

At the same time, the witch was also thinking about the reason for the rampage of the gargoyle. She and Janna had just arrived at the church and such an accident happened. The enemy's target was actually probably them.

Feeling the oncoming cold and damp, the strange smell mixed inside made the witch suddenly frowned.

Without waiting for the priest to continue to guide, the witch's graceful figure flashed directly into the basement.

"Wait a moment, Miss Hermann!"

boom--

The stone door in the basement was not locked at all, and the witch slapped it hard on the wall under cover.

Under the dim lights, huge magical runes are carved on the walls and the ground, forming a beautiful geometric pattern.

The complex divine power quickly flowed back and forth in the rune chain, faintly spreading crystal light spots.

But in this holy scene, at this moment, there are several broken bodies lying here and there.

The wanton flow of blood has already polluted the operation of the entire rune formation.

"Girod! What's the matter with you!"

Priest Giles, who was following closely, saw the miserable scene in front of him, and immediately screamed in panic, regardless of his panting tiredness.

"Don't go there."

The figure Giles intended to move forward was pulled back by Higrit.

Just as he looked back at the witch in a daze, a sharp dagger flashed out of the shadows and struck straight at his chest.

At the critical moment, Giles' fat body was thrown out of the door by Higrit, and the dagger continued to stab the witch with unabated sharpness.

bang——

However, in the end, the dagger pierced the solid stone gate behind the witch only through the afterimage.

Higrit has already rushed directly into the shadow of the corner with a speed that is hard to catch with the naked eye, and her slender wrist has the power of breaking the army, roughly tearing open the camouflage of the void.

"It really is you, puppet master!"

The pure white mask was held in the hands of the witch, and it was completely burst and shattered with a light pinch of onion fingers. When she clearly felt the familiar breath, Higrit had already confirmed what happened.

Immediately afterwards, the figure exposed under the lights was extremely distorted and weird.The hunchbacked body was covered with a horrifying face, and the facial features seemed to have been neatly cut off, exposing horrific bones and minced flesh.

The joints of the bones and joints are obviously exposed to the metal color, the body full of suture marks is like a patchwork, and the seven arms are shaking abnormally, which does not look like a human being at all.

No, it should be said to be eight arms.

A twisted arm also appeared on the dagger nailed to the slate, pulled by the thin line of magic power that was difficult to detect by sight, and pointed the sharp edge at the witch's back again.

"Your smell is still so foul, just smelling it makes me sick to my stomach."

Without the slightest intention of dodging, the palm wrapped by Xianli directly faced the sharp blade, and the hard fine steel dagger was crushed into a bent and deformed waste.

"Master Zero's body fragrance must still be so beautiful and attractive! It's a pity that I can't feel it with this body!"

The weird body made a sharp sound like metal rubbing while shaking, and cut off the connection of the thin wire before being grabbed by the arm of the witch.

"If you tell me such disgusting words, you will be crushed to pieces."

The immortal power in the sea of ​​consciousness boiled rapidly, and the galaxy flowing in the star pupil was enough to penetrate the darkness.Huge pressure was concentrated on the fingertips, and the broken arm he was holding was thrown back like a cannonball.

boom--

There was no time to react, and the arm directly penetrated the abdomen of that weird body. There were not only rancid viscera flowing inside, but also all kinds of strange-shaped magical metal devices rolling out.

"I haven't seen you for two years, but I miss you all the time! But you are still so unfeeling, you don't even give a chance to talk about the past!"

The strange body still didn't lose power while it was being torn apart. The seven arms of different thicknesses quickly climbed towards the surrounding walls, and at the same time launched a siege to the witch in the center.

"I haven't seen you for two years, but your ability to speak disgusting words has improved a lot."

The mind's eyes observed the trajectory of all the magic power in the basement, and found an incongruous node among the distorted veins. A silver coin shot out from the fingertip and instantly blasted the rotten hand flying from the side.

"But your ability to hide your heart is still very bad."

bang-

The remaining six arms fell to the ground in an instant, and they seemed to be still offering their last courtesy to the witch while wriggling with difficulty.

"Oh, as expected... the beautiful Zero-sama! Still so dazzling..."

The tattered skull rolled into the corner of the basement alone, and the already broken flesh and blood were entangled with messy cobwebs.

Its last words became more and more distorted and sharp, and it was already difficult to tell what it was saying.

"Quick...find me...little gift, next...like...two..."

Seeing the completely extinguished blue flames among the bones, the witch's star pupils gradually lost their original dazzling luster, revealing an extremely deep tranquility instead.

"Then I will definitely kill you this time."

The cold words fell, and the silver coin on the fingertips shot the disgusting rotten meat again, leaving only useless scraps all over the floor.

PS:

Yesterday, a friend mentioned the issue of matching churches with gargoyles. In reality, gargoyles are also classic sculptures of Gothic churches.

The specific introduction is in the Tucao at the end of the last chapter, interested friends can take a look.

Chapter 56 Won't Go Back Again

"First evacuate the believers in the square! Then focus on using divine magic to imprison them!"

Faced with this sudden disaster, almost all the priests and nuns in Lavria Church who could use divine magic rushed to the square to support them.

Fortunately, so far, the gargoyle's accident has only caused minor injuries to a few people.

"Oh! My Lord! Is this your warning and punishment for us!"

Because of the demonstrations a few days ago, the entire city of Shuguang is now undergoing large-scale martial law rectification.

There are only a few noble believers who can appear in the church square now. They have more or less been trained in magic power, and they can barely deal with the attacks of small gargoyles even without weapons.

And Janna followed Valenelle and rushed out of the gate quickly, and the scene of chaos was full of sight.

"careful!"

Sensing the incoming danger with her keen intuition, Janna didn't hesitate at all, and the blade that concentrated her magic power swept to the side, and an ape-like gargoyle was suddenly blasted out.

"I pray in the name of the Holy Spirit, may the truth grant eternal peace!"

Hearing the movement, Valenelle finally reacted, raised the shining copy of the Truth Record and pointed it at the gargoyle on the ground.

As the voice of prayer fell, a faint golden halo gradually imprisoned the body of the gargoyle, and the struggling claws gradually slowed down as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and finally came to a complete standstill.

Is this magic?

This was the first time that Janna observed the process of casting a divine spell at close range, and the operation method was completely different from ordinary magic, which aroused the girl's curiosity.

From the mainstream point of view of contemporary magic mechanics, divine power is just a special attribute of magic power, which is roughly similar to fire magic power and water magic power. The attribute of divine power is its corresponding belief.

Therefore, the power of truth can also be called magic power of truth in a sense.

Of course, conservative Truth believers will never admit such a point of view. In their cognition, divine power is the basic power that keeps pace with magic power, and even has a higher priority than magic power.

"Your Highness Rhine, I need to recite time to cast a magic spell, and I hope you will be on my guard."

Although Valenille is only an academic priest, he basically doesn't know the magic of battle.But using auxiliary divine spells with its own level 29 divine power is enough to easily suppress these small gargoyles scurrying around.

"no problem."

Calm your mind, adjust your breathing, concentrate, miss the witch...

When Janna opened her eyes again, the emeralds in her eyes had been dyed brilliant gold, and the whole world presented an extremely clear and special state in Janna's eyes.

The long sword in his hand also flowed with gorgeous golden flames, and the hot temperature instantly scorched the floor tiles under the sword tip, and the flames that vaguely wrapped around his body were like the incarnation of the sun walking in the world.

Zheng——

The sword edge slashed cleanly, as if a stream of light directly cut off the attacking gargoyle.The flat section was still covered with golden flames, causing the broken body to struggle painfully on the ground.

"This……"

This situation made Valenley, who followed closely behind, holding the record of truth and preparing to release the tranquility magic, couldn't help swallowing the recitation again.

Gargoyles themselves do not feel pain, and generally have a fairly high magic resistance.The power of magic other than the magic of truth will be greatly attenuated when it falls on the gargoyle.

And even if it is injured, it only needs to return to the sleep state, and it can gradually recover under the nourishment of the church's divine power.
