The feather duster-like flail is very heavy, and Lucien cannot swing it easily with his current strength, and the elemental damage of its two flail heads is also extremely powerful, far exceeding Lucien's "acid splash"
and "Fire Glue".
Seeing the corpses that had been hit by flails split into many small pieces and were either burned to dust or dissolved into viscous liquid in the flames and acid, Lucien was a little scared: "What if the bodies were not transformed into moonlight and were destroyed?"
If this flail hits me directly, I will definitely suffer severe elemental damage, which will definitely not be able to heal itself in a short time."
But even though Moonlighting greatly weakened the damage of fire, acid and flail blows, the remaining physical and lightning damage still caused Lucien to suffer serious injuries. Even his hands and feet are still shaking slightly, and the paralysis cannot be completely eliminated.
.
"It seems that I need to bathe in the silver moon for at least half an hour to recover." Lucien whipped and drank a tube of "Owl" to recover the huge mental power consumed by the spell-free casting just now.
Under the attack of the magic flail, all the corpses turned into a small puddle of strange-colored liquid in less than thirty seconds, and the ashes produced by the burning were flying in the air.
There were still a few fragments of Jason's black leather armor, but the crystal ball was destroyed by Lucien without hesitation, fearing that the cultists would track him if he took it away.
Then, Lucien kicked over the bucket in the cell, pretending to be accidentally knocked over by a cultist during a hurried retreat. The clear water flowing out of it smoothly washed away the corpse liquid with the help of a few fragments.
While doing all this, Lucien had been distracted listening to the explosions and sounds of fighting on the surface. At this time, their direction and position changed greatly, letting Lucien know that Camille and the people from the church had already fought.
The people who had withdrawn from the "Silver Corner" were about to pursue the ruins, so they did not dare to delay any longer. They moved Joel and Alisa who were unconscious on the ground back to Alvin inside the iron railings, and then picked up the flail and the fragments.
Walk to the door of the "prison", recite a mantra in a low voice, and use the change of cold and heat to perform the "blast technique" to blow away the dust inside and blow it into the corridors and corridors outside.
This apprentice-level magic cannot blow away smoke caused by supernatural forces, etc., and can only be used to create atmosphere and such occasions.
After handling the scene, Lucien took the flail and rushed to the nearest exit. This is a remote location of the ruins palace. The exit is far away from the core of the temple and key locations. You will basically not encounter cult priests or priests when you leave here.
and The Dark Knight.
"Without this flail, those corpses would have to be moved out and disposed of." Lucien ran quickly, dragging out the afterimages, while recalling the whole process, fearing that there would be mistakes, "I have done everything I can, and now
I can only pray that Uncle Joel and the others are not so unlucky. The other cultists are busy escaping and will not come to the prison to help." After all, Jason, the dark knight, is responsible for handling the prison.
And if the Joel family is rescued directly, suspicion will surround Lucien without any hindrance.
The afterimage flashed by, and Lucien was quickly approaching the nearest exit in the ruins corridor. However, what surprised Lucien was that he did not encounter a cultist!
…………
In the underground palace, since the silver-robed high priest Elijah gave the order, the priests, priests, and dark knights who stayed behind began to deal with the traces.
Inside a stone house.
When several ordinary cultists saw a priest running into their room, they quickly knelt on the ground, stretched out their hands, and performed the unique etiquette of the "Silver Horn": "Dear Priest Jerome, what do you have in mind...
"
Before they finished speaking, their voices suddenly stopped, and clouds of black mist emerged from their bodies, taking away all the vitality, and then penetrated into Jerome's body.
Seeing the horrified and disbelieving expressions of these ordinary believers, Priest Jerome shrugged his shoulders: "You are among the traces that need to be dealt with."
Things have changed beyond what High Priest Ilya expected. At this critical moment, ordinary cultists will definitely not be able to escape from the hands of the church, so they must be "dealt with" to avoid leaking information about priests, priests, relics, etc.
Jerome turned around and left the room and ran directly to the exit. After all, searching for ordinary believers in the room was very tedious and time-consuming. It was not a good choice for this kind of moment where every minute and every second was extremely precious. He just wanted to do it first.
Get rid of the cultists near the entrance of the ranger's hut, lest they be caught by the night watchman before they can reach other exits.
Of course, Jerome did not dare to deal with the room that was too close to the entrance of the ranger's hut. "Deep Blue Tide" Camille and the two cardinals were chasing from there. Even if he wanted to "visit" the true God, he would get
"Eternal Silence" cannot adopt such a stupid method.
"Anyway, if there are several powerful people at level 6 and level 7 fighting, the room there will definitely be completely destroyed, and no one will survive." Jerome comforted himself while using evil magic to bless his body and increase his speed.
…………
He was so close to the exit of the ruins that he could even feel the light of the silver moon shining in there, but Lucien suddenly stopped and hid in a shadowed corner because he smelled the smell of blood and death from the moonlight.
Although Lucien had long expected to encounter the obstruction of the cult priests or priests here, he still couldn't help but be surprised: "Has there been a battle already? Internal strife within the cult?"
Quietly approaching the exit, Lucien listened cautiously.
In less than a minute, Lucien heard several footsteps running towards the exit, and even some cultists passed by the shadowed corner where Lucien was hiding. But without exception, they only heard the sound of footsteps after they arrived at the exit.
There was a thud of falling to the ground, and an occasional scream.
"Is there an ambush? No, how could the church rush to this exit so quickly, and its behavior is not like that? Could it be that the strong cult members are dealing with ordinary believers?" Lucien guessed a little creepily, and then did not force the way, and quietly
Waiting for the opportunity.
As long as they are not from the church, whether they are cult priests, priests, or other mysterious people, they will definitely evacuate in time when Camille, the cardinal, and the night watchmen are chasing them. It is impossible to make fun of their lives. All they need to do is to catch them.
Just stay at this time difference.
As time passed by second by second, various strange sounds came from the underground ruins from time to time, and some even got closer and closer, which made Lucien couldn't help but feel a little anxious and anxious.
Finally, a wave of supernatural power occurred near the exit, and Lucien immediately became focused.
Then a cold voice sounded: "Let's go, High Priest Ilya asked us to leave immediately. There shouldn't be any believers who can't come over in time."
"But I didn't see Jason?" Another young but hoarse voice answered.
The cold voice said urgently: "Are we still waiting for him at this time? No matter whether he is dead or madly rushing towards the night watchman, we can't wait any longer."
"Okay, let's leave." The young man's hoarse voice also understood that the matter was urgent.
Then, there was silence near the exit, making it impossible for Lucien to tell whether they had left or not.
However, such silence also made Lucien feel relieved. It seemed that the strength of the two cultists had not yet reached the priest level. Destroying the exit would cost them a lot of effort and waste a lot of time, so no similar ideas came up.
Such solid underground ruins cannot be destroyed by low-level magic like "Micro-effect Fossils to Mud".
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is normal. Why would a priest-level strongman come to guard such a remote exit? Moreover, most of the priests and high knights have participated in the battle on the surface, and there are definitely not many who can come back.
Unable to tell whether the two cultists had really left, Lucien hesitated, but thinking about the night watchman who was about to catch up, he decided to give it a try. Unless the two powerful cultists knew that they were hiding here in advance, they would not go back.
Pretending to leave while wasting time, after all, the ordinary believers who needed to be dealt with were unlikely to discover their previous ambush.
His body glowed with silvery white light and quickly faded away. Lucien kicked hard and turned into an afterimage and ran towards the exit.
After turning into moonlight, Lucien's afterimage was very similar to the light of the silver moon, making it difficult to detect.
Turning the corner of the corridor, Lucien saw the moonlit exit and the bushes outside.
In extreme alertness and vigilance, Lucien, whose afterimage almost blended into the moonlight, walked through the exit and breathed in the fresh and slightly earthy air.
There were more than a dozen corpses of cultists lying in the bushes outside. The surroundings were quiet, and there were no supernatural forces that Lucien was prepared for.
With a little relaxation, Lucien looked up at the silver moon and a few stars, judged his position, then turned back into the black forest and fled in the direction of the ranger's hut.
This is not a self-defeating decision, but a choice made by Lucien after his calm judgment:
There probably weren't many Night Watchmen who survived, and they didn't know where the exit was and couldn't go around from the ground to block it, so they must have been chasing them in the underground ruins. They fled towards the ranger's hut, which happened to be everyone's blind spot.
Of course, you must run from the ranger hut into the black forest across the Mussol River before the last group of night watchmen arrive.
…………
The heavy flail affected Lucien's speed somewhat, but the light of the silver moon not only improved Lucien's speed and strength, but also allowed him to recover quickly from his injuries. In addition, running wildly in the dark forest didn't have to be like running around in the dark forest.
They were extremely cautious in the ruins, so within a few minutes, Lucien rushed back to the ranger's hut and saw that the five hundred meters nearby were scorched black, and the trees, shrubs, vines, animals, and insects were all destroyed.
Taking a casual look at the remaining grotesque corpses, Lucien suddenly found that one of them looked familiar, at least his black hooded torn coat looked familiar:
"Fire wolf?"
With a thought in his heart, Lucien ran over quickly and saw a young man's face twisted in extreme fear. His throat had been slit. In addition, the other wounds were more like those caused by divine or evil magic after death.
The battle spread.
After confirming his identity from his figure and magic items, Lucien used "magic tricks" to manipulate the semi-coagulated blood on his body, leaving four blood-red words on the surface of his body:
"The Betrayer's End."
"Professor." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
