Chapter 366: The Prison of Darkness (VI)

The temple is close at hand.

Jenn looked up at the bloodstained gate and staircase in front of him, and could tell that there had been a great battle here, and the miserable corpses were scattered all over the ground, the blood solidified on the snow-white steps, and the blinding black in the light of magic.

Sure enough, only the Templar Order is the worst enemy.

Seeing this, Jenn frowned. Generally speaking, the only places that can withstand the spiritual erosion of the [Cultists] are the Temple and the Mage Tower, because these two places are the only places that have divine power barriers and magical protection that can operate 24 hours a day. Not only that, but there are pros and cons to everything, and while the Cultist's Eternal Night Canopy is powerful enough to be called mass destruction, it will only have an effect on civilians and targets that are not very strong at first. And those who have great strength and strong will themselves will not be affected too much. Perhaps as time progresses, the superposition of psionic buffs will gradually collapse their sanity, but even so, they are affected much slower than the average person. This meant that if Jenn were to fight, he would be facing an elite army with a small number but a lot of power. Dealing with such an enemy is much more difficult than dealing with an enemy with more than 10,000 people but not strong on average.

This is the reason why the boss of the demon king in the online game can destroy an army with a wave of his hand, but he will be tragically pushed flat by twenty-five people. And as a demon king reserve, Jenn naturally has to learn a lesson, lest he become one of the humanoid treasure troves that fell to the ground with hatred.

But the other way around. There are risks and gains, and the advent of Chaos Monsters also has a lot to do with the strength of their own possessed objects. If the people who were transformed into chaos monsters were just ordinary civilians who could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Then the strength of these chaos monsters will naturally not be much stronger. However, if the opponent is a powerful spellcaster or warrior, then the Chaos Monster will not only be able to gain a combat power increase when possessed. You'll even be able to use their unique skills.

Thinking of this, Jenn turned his head and glanced at several dark figures standing quietly behind him, they looked puffy, their bodies were covered with something like bone shards, where they should have been arms, several tentacles were dancing slowly, and their lower bodies were long with two giant legs as thick as elephants. If it weren't for the fact that their heads still vaguely showed the appearance of humans, then no one would have thought of it. These monsters were human before.

Although it looks ugly, Jenn knows very well that these monsters have at least elite level strength, their predecessors are the soldiers in the city and some paladins who have not had time to enter the temple for refuge, and there are many adventurers, among which there are naturally many strong people with outstanding skills, and these people have now transformed into chaos monsters and become his most loyal soldiers.

And under the observation of Jenn's [Evil Eye], he had already discovered that there were still a lot of shining soul lights in the temple at this moment. Judging from the strength, each of them has the strength of the elite peak, and it can be confirmed that the elite of the Holy Knights stationed in this temple is definitely the elite. And then for Jenn, a fierce battle was inevitable -- but Jenn didn't care. Quality is not enough, quantity is enough. What's more, these people who died were not his in the first place, and Jenn didn't need to feel distressed at all. And conversely, if he can contribute to the temple. Then it is certain that the Chaos Monsters under Jenn's command will have a significant increase in quality.

Trading without capital is easy to do. But you also need to do it yourself.

Thinking of this, Jenn smiled slightly. Then he raised his right hand and pointed flat at the door in front of him.

"Boom!!"

The next moment, with the dull sound of an explosion, a violent lightning roared from Jenn's finger and struck the heavy temple gate like a battering ram. The next moment, I saw the heavy door made of solid red pine wood wailing and twisting and shattering. The door opened, and there was a scream mixed with fear. Jenn raised his head and looked into the inside of the temple, only to see that in the hall inside the temple at this moment, the heavily armed paladins had already set up a defensive formation. The remaining glow of lightning flashed across the transparent barrier in front of them, and soon vanished without a trace. Immediately after, a series of golden runes flashed, forming a strong and tall barrier with a divine aura, and just like that, they blocked in front of Jenn and the others.

Behind these paladins stood an old man in a red robe and a golden scepter, wearing the archbishop's long black hat, glaring angrily at the intruder in front of him.

"Cursed cultists, this is not a place for you filthy souls to come close! You don't want to destroy the sanctuary of the gods! ”

"Boring bluffing."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Jenn snorted coldly, and then he reached out and snapped his fingers.

"Up!"

Accompanied by Jenn's orders,. The Chaos Monsters, who had been ready to move for a long time, suddenly let out a violent roar, and the next moment, they gathered into a black torrent, and poured into the temple along the gap that was blown open by Jenn, and launched a frenzied attack on the paladins in front of them.

It was a hellish sight.

The xenomorphs writhed their bodies, their tentacles-clad and octopus-like bodies with a completely unimaginable agility. They can even climb up walls like spiders and attack from the ceiling and sides. The monsters waved their tentacles, opened their mouths and spewed dark green venom, and pressed towards the paladins in this way.

The paladins were not afraid of the strange monsters in front of them, they raised their swords in their hands, chanted songs of praise, and then a stream of light fell from the sky and fell on these paladins. Immediately, their momentum doubled, and then they saw these paladins roar and raise their long swords, swinging forward. Soon. A stream of sword light emerged from it, roaring and rushing towards the group of monsters in front of him. Tear them apart.

"Oh?"

Seeing this scene, Jenn's expression couldn't help but move slightly. It's not because the Chaos Monsters are so useless, it's because the paladins are singing prayers in praise of the God of War. This also means that this temple is the temple of the god of war at the moment, thinking of this, Jenn couldn't help but raise his head and look around, and sure enough, he saw the familiar sign. This made Jenn even feel a little nostalgic -- you must know that the reason why he was able to get the status of a knight in the first place was because of the transaction with the Temple of War. However, when Jenn came to Passus, he had no contact with the believers of the Temple of War. Only occasionally would I hear from Bishop Howard that the Temple of War, which had now regained its charisma, had swept away its former decay and regained its former glory. It's just that what Jenn didn't expect was that he would actually meet the other party again in this situation.

This is really fate...............

Jenn still had time to lament his indissoluble bond with the Temple of War, but at the moment, the paladins in the temple were obviously not in the same mood. Although at first, the Chaos Monsters suffered heavy casualties in the face of the paladins' attack, but soon, these paladins found that things were not as simple as they thought.

“――――!!”

A Chaos monster jumps off a wall. Waving the tentacles in his hand, he pounced on the enemy in front of him. It opened its ugly round mouth, and could even see the sharp teeth that were densely packed in rows. In the face of the monster in front of him, the paladin also roared angrily, and then he raised his long sword with both hands. Slash forward with all your might. The glittering sword light led an arc from top to bottom, easily cutting off the tentacles of the Chaos Monster, and then the paladin stepped forward with his sword. The sharp blade of the sword pierced straight into the monster's body. With this fatal blow, the ugly-looking Chaos Monster struggled for a moment before losing its movement completely. The paladin, on the other hand, drew his sword. But the next moment, his movements immediately stopped.

I saw it at the feet of the paladin. The Chaos Monster that was supposed to fall there was completely gone, replaced by a young girl, she was wearing a tattered long dress, her eyes were wide and looking at the sky, blood was coming out of her chest through the sharp sword, the girl's right hand was cut off from the elbow part of Qi Qi, and at this moment her whole person was lying on her back on the ground, her petite body couldn't stop rising and falling, and the blood foam coming out of her mouth gushed out like a fountain, blinking her eyes and mouth like a fish thrown to the ground, and then the next moment, The girl's body trembled and turned into a cold, dead corpse.

And this scene was staged in front of the paladins again and again, and the last moment, they eliminated the monsters that pounced on them, but then these paladins found that what fell in front of them was not the corpse of the monster they imagined. It's human beings, and there are men, women, old people, and even children. They fell into a painful death under the sword of the paladin, screaming, wailing. Seeing this scene, even the paladins began to waver, although they wanted to convince themselves that this qiē was nothing more than the conspiracy of that evil mage, but they could not do anything to kill so many innocent people with their own hands, watching their corpses struggle to swallow their last breath in front of their eyes. Unless it's a butcher with a heart as steel, no one is unmoved. Not to mention these paladins who have always accepted the teachings of the gods and made it their mission to protect the weak.

Soon the originally strong defensive line began to crumble, and the paladins were not as brave as they used to be in the face of those chaos monsters. There were even those who chose to defend rather than attack, in the hope that their Lord Bishop would be able to perform some magic to restore these people to their original state. In front of them, the paladins inevitably began to waver, and they didn't notice that at this moment, the [Eternal Night Sky] had also begun to quietly invade their spirits and minds.

"Ahhh

Finally, one of the paladins could no longer hold on, he shouted, then dropped his weapon, and pounced on his colleague like a beast, escorting him to the ground. Before the other party could react to what was happening, dozens of Chaos Monsters rushed forward screaming, crushing them down, and soon, with a series of terrible screams, blood sprayed out of them, staining the ground red.

We can't go on like this!!

Seeing this scene, a high-level paladin's face was gloomy, he roared angrily, and the long sword in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling and bright divine light, and then I saw this high-level paladin clenching the long sword with both hands and swinging it hard, and the next moment a whistling sword light burst out like this, and forcibly tore a passage from the chaos monster.

"Everyone, come with me and destroy that evil mage first!!"

With a shout, the high-ranking paladin rushed out of the temple like a meteor, and he clenched his greatsword in anger and slashed head-on at Jenn. In his opinion, this black-robed mage is now the key to Yiqiē, and as long as he kills him, then the problem should be solved!

But at this moment, he saw the black-robed mage raise his head and look at him, his eyes behind the silver-white mask full of mockery and sarcasm.

This is...............

Before he could react, the next moment, the roaring magic fire erupted out of thin air, whistling towards the paladin in front of him. (To be continued......)
