This place is close to the depths of the Far North Wasteland, and the biting cold makes anyone without [cold resistance] suffer a round of life deduction every day.
Ordinary humans would freeze to death directly on the ice. Only frost giants and white dragons could play in this harsh environment.
A fleeing team kept moving forward in the wind and snow.
Even though they wore thick clothes, people still fell down from time to time along the way and turned into stiff corpses.
"Grace, this can't go on like this!"
A paladin wearing leather armor and possessing extraordinary aura defense came to a female priest and said: "Most of the believers are ordinary people, not professionals. If this continues..."
This female priest had curly chestnut hair and pure blue eyes. Although her face was red from the cold and her lips were black and blue, she still pursed her lips resolutely.
She looked at the team, gritted her teeth, and recited a few syllables.
It can be seen that doing this consumes her energy, but she still persists.
A gleam of holy light appeared on her hand and enveloped a dozen old, weak, women and children.
2-ring magic thermostat!
In the past, Grace, as a high-level priest, would have used it effortlessly, but now, she only felt that her body was crumbling and her mental power seemed to be drained!
Since the 'Great Cataclysm', the Goddess of the Magic Network has fallen. Not only have all mages lost their convenient magic network, their spellcasting abilities have dropped significantly, and even the priest's belief network has collapsed with the invasion of foreign gods.
This has caused many low- and middle-level priests to lose their magic skills. Only high-level priests can barely maintain their ability to cast spells, but the consumption is several times higher than before!
Because the gods are no longer in their kingdom, but in the form of 'saints', they were knocked down from the material world!
"Hoo ho!"
Seeing those people looking much better and thanking them one after another, Grace waved her hands to them and came to sit next to them.
The paladin with a face full of vicissitudes of life stood by her side, watching the fleeing team.
Grace's second-level magic can only protect a dozen people, which is still a drop in the bucket for a huge team!
There are still too few high-level priests!
"Take a sip of the 'Fire' that the Northerners love most!"
The paladin handed a wineskin to Grace.
Grace opened the cork and took a sip, only to start coughing violently.
This scene brought a rare smile to the paladin's face.
Most of this fleeing team are believers of the ‘Goddess of Dawn’. ‘Goddess of Dawn’ is just a [weak divine power], and the church in the material world is not strong.
This paladin came spontaneously to protect these believers from migrating.
He is not a believer of the ‘Goddess of the Morning’, but every paladin needs to swear an oath to be fair, just, merciful, and fearless under the witness of the ‘Guardian God’ of [powerful divine power]!
After encountering this fleeing team, he joined them without hesitation and provided protection for them.
Today's material world, whether it is the wealthy southern countries, the northern border, or even the elven forests, dwarf hills, wilderness, oceans, and eastern deserts... are all controlled and occupied by the minions of the outer gods.
The most powerful group of [powerful divine powers], the Lord of Glory, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the Lord of Order, the God of Death, and the Lord of War, all resisted, but the final result was complete death!
The minions of the Outer Gods frantically tracked the saints who fell into the mortal world, and at the same time killed each other's believers.
Even if it is a true god with [weak divine power], in his own kingdom of God, even with [strong divine power] it is difficult to completely kill the opponent.
Therefore, the leader of those foreign evil gods, a terrifying existence who transcended [powerful divine power] and reached [great divine power], set off a terrifying force riot in the Sea of Chaos, knocking all the gods out of the kingdom of God and turning them into bodies that mortals can kill.
The 'holy' form of death.
Then, the oracle descended in the material world and let his minions come to hunt and kill...
So far, too many true gods have fallen.
In addition to being directly killed by the minions of the external gods, the most common ones are because believers are exterminated or converted. Without faith, they naturally fall...
The goddess of sea and storms, the elven god of swiftness and thieves, the dwarven god of the forge, the halfling god, the Fungus Lady, the mother of evil dragons, the righteous dragon god... too many, too many!
Therefore, this team of believers is very important to the ‘Goddess of Dawn’.
In fact, it may even be the last team in the material world that believes in the ‘Goddess of Dawn’.
If they are all destroyed, the ‘Goddess of Dawn’ may fall directly!
For Grace, who has given her body, mind, and all her faith to the goddess, this is an absolutely unacceptable future!
only……
Grace couldn't help but shudder when she thought of those foreign evil gods!
Those evil gods from outside the crystal wall system are so powerful!
Especially the Lord of Outer Gods who trampled on the bones of many true gods and ascended to the highest level. His arrival even caused the cheers of the abyss. The abyss loved him so much that the demons directly surrendered to his chaos and evil.
His name is [Great Sun Tathagata]!!!
Not only that!
[Great Sun Tathagata] also split into several true gods with [powerful divine power] in an incredible way.
The incarnation of His wrath, Mahakala, was born with [Powerful Divine Power], and even directly killed the 'Lord of War' who was extremely powerful in the [Powerful Divine Power] in the divine battle!
Can their group of people really reach the promised land?
Grace was suddenly startled and began to pray silently: "My Lord... please forgive me for my weakness. I will definitely bring your last believer to your promised land!"
Because ‘Ms. Dawn’ is only a [weak divine power] and has a small target, she has not received much attention.
Moreover, He found a hot spring canyon deep in the extreme northern wilderness, which can be used as a final refuge!
Grace wants to take this team there to settle down.
At this moment, the old paladin suddenly held the sword at his waist: "You go first... I want to stay for a while!"
"There are enemies!"
Grace reacted immediately: "I'm with you!"
Ten minutes later, a touch of red gradually appeared in the wind and snow.
That was a monk wearing a red robe and walking very fast!
"It turned out to be a [red-robed monk], now I'm in trouble..."
The paladin murmured.
The foreign evil gods do not allow other professionals to exist. They have their own other power system.
Every entry-level professional must choose one of the many evil gods to believe in, become his own "esoteric deity", believe in and worship, and then he can continue to make progress.
This is true whether it is the physics department, spellcasting department, or priest!
According to the indigenous people's view, those under the command of the foreign evil gods are all evil 'priests'!
[Red-robed Monk] needs to be promoted from [Yellow-robed Monk] and is comparable to a high-level professional!
Dare to chase down an entire team of refugees alone, and the opponent may even be close to becoming a legend!!
Whoosh!
The wind and snow are getting worse!
The figure got closer and closer, allowing Grace to clearly see the other person's figure.
The [red-robed monk] wore a yellow monk's robe, a scarlet coat, and a cockscomb hat. His green pupils were filled with some unspeakable evil meaning. On his furry paws, he was also holding a string of emanations.
The spirit bone rosary with a chaotic evil aura!
This is a jackal!
"Evil one!"
The paladin pulled out his long sword: "Even if I don't use 'Detect Evil', I can still see the red to black evil aura on your body!"
The signature skills of the Paladin are 'Detect Evil' and 'Destroy Evil'!
Because of their oath, they are sworn in with evil and are the most hated objects of all evil people in the material world.
But when the foreign evil gods and their favored ones arrived, the local evil ones were shocked to discover that they were nothing in the face of real evil and mad chaos...
The jackal [red-robed monk] opened his big mouth full of fangs, stuck out his scarlet tongue, and licked the air: "People...many people...as well as paladins and priests...you should offer your flesh and blood to our Lord,
Use bones as my weapons!"
The paladin couldn't bear it any longer. He roared and slashed out with his sword!
A half-moon-shaped light flashed in the void!
The paladin’s signature skill is Slaying Evil!
But the next moment, this ray of light was blocked by the spirit bone rosary in the hand of the jackal [red-robed monk].
"Paladin... I really miss you."
The jackal said slowly: "The rosary beads in my hand are made from the skulls of paladin, one by one... One of them seems to be called...'Hand of Order', right?"
The paladin's eyes instantly turned red!
"Item name: Spiritual Bone Rosary
Item Level:Legendary
Item description: This is a string of rosary beads ground from the skulls of paladin. The largest one seems to come from a legendary paladin whose soul was imprisoned and tortured...
Item special effect: [Broken Holy], this rosary has distorted the camp characteristics of the paladin. All attacks from the paladin (lawful good) (below demigod) will be weakened by 50%!
[Calling Souls], by paying a certain amount of flesh and mana, you can summon a team of fallen paladin souls to fight for you!"
The jackal [red-robed monk] held the spiritual bone rosary and began to recite mantras and secret mantras.
The terrifying evil spirit is overflowing!
The ghost of a team of paladin appears. The leader of them looks very young, but in fact he is over a hundred years old. He has just entered the legendary realm and gained the special ability of "transcendence to sainthood", and his appearance remains youthful forever!
"teacher!"
The vicissitudes of life of the middle-aged paladin couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw this young paladin.
The Hand of Order's eyes turned gray as he grasped the hilt of the sword.
A sword light that is very similar to the 'Evil-Slaying Slash', but full of filth and corruption, emerges!
‘Broken Holy Slash’!!
…
The sky is dark.
A portal appeared.
Grace helped the middle-aged paladin and escaped in embarrassment.
"The only random teleportation scroll was also used..."
Grace looked at the remains of the scroll in her hand and shook her head.
"I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"
The middle-aged paladin's eyes were red, one of his arms was missing, and his body was covered with wounds.
"Calm down! I'm here to treat you!"
Grace's hands glowed with healing light.
Divine magic heals minor injuries!
"He killed my teacher!" The middle-aged paladin just repeated one sentence while letting the wound on his severed arm recover.
"He hasn't become a legend yet, so it's impossible to kill Master 'Hand of Order'. That legendary item must be a gift from the evil god he believes in, or from other masters!"
Grace said: "Those who can kill the 'Hand of Order' are at least high-level legends. You must completely recover and enter the legendary realm before you can plan for revenge!"
The middle-aged paladin was startled, then silently shed tears.
Grace treated the paladin's injuries and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I can no longer use 'Regeneration of Broken Limbs'... The current injury can only be treated this way. Are you okay?"
"I can still fight!"
The paladin stood up with the broken sword, glanced around, and found some hemispherical igloos not far away: "The random teleportation technique has limitations, we should still be in the extreme northern ice field, I just don't know where...
Does it seem like there are people living there?"
Grace let out a sigh of relief. She had lost many companions in the battle just now, but her tears had long since dried up.
At this time, together with the paladin, we came to an igloo and found that no one was living inside. However, there was still a lot of space under the ice and it was quite warm.
"I remembered, this should be a settlement of Kimo people, but it has long been abandoned."
Grace said.
The Kimo people are the most cold-resistant human beings. They are born with the specialty of "cold resistance" and are even more frost-resistant than the Northlanders and barbarians!
"We can go in and take a rest."
Inside the Kimo igloo.
Grace simply cleaned up and lit a fire.
The paladin was silent and suddenly struck somewhere with his long sword.
Snap!
A piece of wooden furniture shattered, revealing one of the rough stone talismans.
"There is an aura of evil, but it's very light..."
He looked at the stone talisman and found that he didn't recognize the emblem on it, but he would never forget this aura: "False God?!"
The paladin raised his sword to purify this talisman.
At this time, Grace suddenly stopped him: "Please wait! Let me take a look..."
She picked up the stone amulet and touched it.
The carvings on it are very rough and have long been blurred, but you can vaguely see the shape of a tree.
"This seems to be a primitive nature worship belief of the Kimo people. It is already very ancient..."
Grace stopped the paladin from continuing to purify: "Since the invasion of the alien gods and the catastrophe of the saints... the gods have issued oracles, temporarily put aside all prejudices, even the devil, as long as we fight against those alien gods, we can join forces
!”
The middle-aged paladin fell silent.
Although he also received a similar oracle, it was not in line with his 'Tao'!
But thinking of the [red-robed monk] and his teacher, a look of pain appeared on his face, and he put the sword back into its scabbard: "Pseudo gods are all gods who have no real godhead and no kingdom of God... Some even have
It has no legendary strength, it just condenses some faith... The light on this talisman is extremely dim, I'm afraid its owner is not powerful..."
