Transmigrated into a fallen priest, Mark clutches the Forbidden Scripture that would make a saint’s face turn black in his left hand, and a cross blessed by the Abyss in his right.
When the...
The moment the white light rising from the bottom of the mine illuminated the space, Mark could be sure that this white light was holy light.
Pure and without impurities, it is a holy light even more intense than the holy light magic released by old Stewart when he was a bishop and prayed for believers.
The sudden change in the blood crystal mine woke up everyone on the minecart platform who were either resting or practicing.
Mark noticed that the exclamations just now seemed to have all come from people on the platform.
On the contrary, the miners who were busy mining blood crystals on the side of the platform did not make any sound.
"Is this a normal phenomenon in the mine or what?" Under the illumination of the holy light that filled the entire space, Mark was finally able to see the originally dim mine car platform clearly.
At this time, most of the people on the mine cart platform were wearing armor or silk clothes.
They should be the people who left the city today and were tricked into the blood crystal mine by the guards of Shichui Town.
Mark leaned over to look at the mining staircase passage outside the mine car platform, and saw that the miners who were busy mining at the top of the mine had stopped swinging their pickaxes.
A pair of numb and lifeless white eyes looked blankly at the minecart platform under the guidance of the holy light!
“Fuck!”
Even though Mark had experienced the baptism of horror movies in his previous life and various monster knowledge in the present world, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he suddenly saw this scene!
The miners' exposed skin below was covered with spider-web-like scarlet lines at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their hunched backs made a teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking.
The miner closest to the front row of the minecart platform suddenly opened his mouth, and sticky blood plasma wrapped in fine red crystals gushed out of his throat, drawing crystal-clear blood-red threads in the holy light.
These are not changes that can be produced in a short period of time. These miners mining in the blood crystal mine are no longer alive!
It was not until then that Mark suddenly remembered what Anduco from the Stone Hammer Town Church had told him. He asked him to take a good look at the condition of the miners near the Blood Crystal Mine.
It now seems that most of the miners outside the mine are fine.
But it’s not so easy for the miners who are stuck in the mine and can’t get out!
"Oh, great God of Forging! What the hell is this!" The trembling voice of Eugene, the leader of the golden crocodile caravan, who was looking down like Mark not far away, was interrupted by a series of frequent clicking sounds as soon as his voice trembled.
Perhaps he was awakened by Eugene's scream, or perhaps he was awakened by the holy light at the bottom of the mine.
The miners' nails were growing wildly, and the friction between their cuticles and the blood crystal ore was causing sparks to fly.
They threw down their pickaxes and staggered up the rock wall towards the platform. Their bloodshot eyeballs bulged out of their sockets like bunches of rotten grapes hanging on a rotten vine.
As the miners approached, Mark felt the cross necklace on his chest become hot.
The forbidden holy book also emitted a faint white light in his arms.
"Here's what you need. This is probably the reason they became like this!" Monica suddenly grabbed Mark's wrist and stuffed a milky pink stone into his hand. "You're a priest, you should be able to deal with them!"
It was a fist-sized, regularly shaped octahedral milky pink prism.
【Holy Blood Crystal】
Type: Material
Rank: Legend
Function: Can be used for job transfer, advancement of Holy Light professions, advancement of Holy Light creatures, and production of props, weapons, and magic arrays.
Note: This artificial ore is formed by fusing fresh blood with Holy Light faith and blood crystal ore. It must be obtained from a Holy Light believer or Holy Light creature that has consumed blood crystal ore.
"...No wonder Old Stuart's church is falling into decline. Look at what these monks from the Holy Light Church have done!"
Looking at the ore in his hand, Mark knew why Monica was in a hurry to leave Stone Hammer Town.
This kind of thing must be a secret of the Church of Holy Light that cannot be passed on to others. If the people of the Church of Holy Light found out that she had identified this kind of thing, they would definitely send the highest-level Knight of Judgment to silence her.
When dealing with heretics, the Church of Holy Light might also consider the pros and cons.
But they will definitely not show mercy to those who dare to tarnish the reputation of the Holy Light Church!
"Aren't you afraid that I will take you back to the Church of Holy Light?" Mark looked at Monica strangely.
Monica leaned weakly against a nearby minecart and smiled, "Holy Light Church clergy don't need to seek external appraisers to verify their skills, nor do they need to worry about their skill information being discovered by appraisers. Brother Mark, you're a good person. You wouldn't abandon your sister when her magic power is exhausted, would you?"
In the short tens of seconds that the two were talking, all the blood crystal clusters hanging from the dome around the mine suddenly turned towards the platform.
The milky white holy light originally radiating from the bottom of the cave was refracted by the crystal clusters into thousands of scarlet beams of light. Wherever the beams of light passed, the miners' shriveled bodies swelled up like leeches filled with blood.
Their tattered linen clothes were torn, revealing their dark red, blood-crystallized skin underneath, which looked like armor.
"Look!" someone screamed, pointing behind the miners.
The spiral plank road where the miners had originally stood was dissolving under the illumination of the scarlet beam of light, and in its place, knight statues made of pink crystal ore broke out of the ground.
These heavily armored knights, who were an average of 1.8 meters tall, had white flames flickering in their eyes, and the huge swords in their hands were engraved with the sun emblem of the Church of Holy Light.
In the direction that the man just pointed, a strong man wearing a white cross training robe, nearly two meters tall, with an inverted triangle body shape, and carrying a huge cross on his back was rushing quickly towards the deep valley of the mine below that was radiating holy light!
His huge figure compared to the knight statues gathered around him was like an adult and a teenager, and compared to the deformed miners, he was more like an adult and a child.
As he ran further down, his speed increased.
In just a few breaths, his speed was like an unstoppable armored vehicle, directly smashing the miners and knight statues blocking the road.
As his figure was wreaking havoc in the mine, his panel appeared in front of everyone in due time.
[Name: Kyle Spence]
[Occupation: Cleric (IV)]
[Level: lv.33]
Seeing this scene, Monica behind Mark couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "See, this is the normal behavior of a true clergyman."
"Nervous." Mark couldn't help but complain. Who would show their level bar before a fight? Are they afraid their opponent doesn't know their strength or something?
"What level are these monsters below?" Mark couldn't help but ask Monica again.
The personal panel in this world can display item information, but the bad thing is that once the information of the enemy unit is 10 levels higher than your own, it cannot be identified.
Therefore, he could not obtain any information about the Holy Light Nightmare in the previous dream space or the miners and knights in front of him.
