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...
Space crack!?
The first time he caught a glimpse of the pitch-black crack out of the corner of his eye, Mark combined his knowledge from online articles in his previous life and made an inexplicable association. This kind of crack connecting the two coordinates could only be a space crack!
Mark didn't need Irene's reminder at all, he bent down and rushed forward.
The doubling of his attribute points brought by the job change made his reaction and speed far beyond that of ordinary people.
Swish!
All he heard was the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air behind him, and the monk's robe behind him was torn into pieces!
Irene, who was about to return to help, saw Mark's action and her eyes lit up slightly. Then she raised the staff in her hand and pointed it at the monster in front of her.
"In the name of Star Track! Judgment of the Star God! ~%?…,#*'☆&℃$︿★?" Irene's chanting voice was too ethereal to be human.
The crescent moon on the staff's tip erupted with a galaxy-like waterfall of light, forcing the black flame monster, which was still waving its claws and slashing furiously, to retreat step by step. The two dark cracks it had just created also dissipated.
Dozens of starlight chains as thick as a baby's arm shot out from the silver lines of Irene's robe, making crisp sounds like ice crystals condensing when they wrapped around the monster's limbs.
"roar!"
The monster bound by the starlight chains seemed to be in great pain at this moment. Its body twisted and struggled wildly, and it opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the chains wrapped around its body fiercely.
“Crack!”
The monster's bite force seemed to be very strong. With just one bite, it easily broke the two starlight chains as if chewing ice, and then swallowed them greedily.
One bite, two bites, three bites!
In just two seconds, it cleared 30% of the chains wrapped around its body.
Mark, who was hiding behind Irene, couldn't help but gasp. Although he didn't know what level of professional Irene was, the strength she showed now was definitely stronger than the third-level old Stuart.
But the monster in front of her just bit through the magic that Irene had to chant to condense with just one bite.
What a powerful monster this is!
No wonder the original owner fell down even though he was wearing the necklace left by old Stuart.
However, compared to the horrified Mark, Irene's expression was much more relaxed. She shouted softly: "Humph, stupid beast! Explode!"
Following Irene's command, the starlight chain wrapped around the monster suddenly deformed, and barbed spikes made of starlight protruded from the surface of the chain!
Even the chains that had been bitten to pieces in the monster's mouth and belly began to grow and burst out with spikes!
"Hoo~Gah~~"
The pain of having its heart pierced by thousands of thorns could not be endured even by a monster as powerful as it.
No matter how the monster struggled, its body already twisted and deformed by pain, the starlight barbs that pierced into its body continued to grow longer and swell!
Looking at the miserable state of the monster, Mark suddenly thought of a torture device called "Iron Maiden" in the West in his previous life.
I feel that Sister Irene's magic is much more terrifying than the Iron Maiden.
Even a monster as powerful as the one before us can only be tortured!
Seeing the monster's struggle weakening, Irene finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down her wand.
"This nightmare is a bit strange. It's very powerful, but it doesn't have the natural instincts of many nightmares. It can only use simple methods such as entering dreams, tearing and devouring. In this case, I don't have to use any backup plan!"
"Is this a nightmare?" Mark looked in surprise at the monster without animal form that had been pierced by the starlight chains.
Nightmare is a relatively common monster on the Holy Dragon Continent, and it appears regardless of region or time.
There are even records of it appearing in the Holy Light Cathedral in the Pope's City.
The nightmares people encounter range from level zero to level nine, but they all have one characteristic, which is that they are invisible and intangible when they first appear.
Only after devouring and killing a host will it condense into the image that the host fears the most!
Then, based on this, he devours dreams and becomes stronger step by step, and finally interferes with reality!
"Yes, a nightmare of at least level four! It can already affect reality. You might have fainted yesterday because you walked into its area of influence. I used the aura of the undead in the cemetery to simulate a dream to lure it here."
As Irene spoke, the starlight thorns that had pierced Nightmare's body had expanded to their limit, and Nightmare's body had also expanded several times. At this moment, it seemed like a giant porcupine wrapped in thin black flames.
"Bang!!!"
Thousands of starlight thorns exploded at the same time, and the place where Nightmare was located seemed to emit dazzling light like a supernova explosion.
The originally stubborn and dazzling black flames evaporated and dissipated without any struggle under the dazzling starlight.
At this point, the nightmare that might have killed its original owner was annihilated by Irene in the dazzling starlight.
At least that's what both Irene and Mark thought at this moment.
After releasing a powerful spell, Irene sat down on the ground somewhat exhausted, and the star shield that had originally condensed in front of her slowly dissipated.
"Madame Irene! Are you okay?" Mark hurried forward to support Irene.
This is a big man who is suspected to be above the fourth level, and he has a close relationship with him. Mark is not the fool that the original owner wanted to change his job to become a priest.
With such a strong support, there is no need to risk exposing his identity as a priest.
Miller, you are a bishop, can you threaten a fourth-level nun?
Even though Mark came from another time, his actions were actually all consistent with the original owner's habits.
He came forward so eagerly to help Irene that Irene naturally saw through his little trick.
Irene glared at Mark and said with a sullen smile, "You bastard, you embezzled all my wages and used them to buy a faith container, and you still want me to protect you?"
"Oh, Aunt Irene, that's very rude of you. I will change my ways and be a good daughter to you in the future!"
"You kid..." Irene rubbed Mark's head helplessly.
However, at this moment, the two people who had already relaxed suddenly felt that the magical elements in the battlefield space that had originally calmed down suddenly became violent.
A burning breath slowly rose from where the nightmare disappeared.
With the appearance of this breath, a faint white light appeared, and the white light became brighter and stronger.
The light shrank and expanded until it became a giant lizard of light that was almost impossible to look at.
The creature had scales with a mercury texture, and its two pairs of luminous wings scattered golden dust when they stretched out.
But the body that should have been holy had a scorpion-like tail hook, at the end of which flashed black flames that devoured the light.
"It's not dead yet!" Mark, who could still see the monster's appearance through the black monk's robe, naturally knew that the white lizard in front of him was obviously the nightmare before!
This nightmare actually has a second stage. Not only have its attributes changed, its size has also grown, and its posture swimming in the air seems to be more agile and active!
"Damn it! It's this! The Church of Holy Light actually still keeps it in Champagne Town! Are they really not afraid of it going berserk?"
After seeing this nightmare, Irene was filled with shock and anger. She trembled and grabbed Mark's hand and said, "When you wake up tomorrow, run away and leave Champagne Town! I've hidden an envelope under my bed. Take the envelope and go to Osborne Town in the Warcraft Mountains to find the Black Gold Gang and live there!"
