"I never thought that Sister Nymph would be so powerful..."

Walking in the dark forest, Fina still seemed to be unable to react. She looked around with emotion, not knowing what to say. As a spellcaster, she could clearly sense the magical aura emanating from the surroundings. In Fina's eyes, the barrier formed by the countless interlaced cycles was close at hand and within reach.

Logically speaking, in such a huge chain barrier, unless the entire barrier was destroyed, they would be discovered immediately even if they just walked in. But now, Fina could feel that these barriers were still running, but they completely ignored their existence, as if the two of them were the masters of this barrier.

When Fina thought that this was all done by that petite and cute girl, she felt extremely emotional and didn't know what to say.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Hearing Fina's sigh, Fang Zheng also shook his head. To be honest, he didn't have much hope for Nymph's power level at the beginning. First, she was a silver-level summoning stone, which was basically a guaranteed minimum. Second, her weak performance when she first appeared also disappointed Fang Zheng. Logically speaking, such a person would not be that powerful. But... Damn, you are not playing by the rules!

You can even invade the magic circle, why are you pretending to be a little white rabbit here!

Fang Zheng really couldn't imagine what kind of world Nymph came from. With her abilities, she actually lived in fear and trembling with fear, and was even willing to be someone else's slave?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but glance at the bushes above his head. Nymph didn't act with them. As an artificial angel, she could also fly. Therefore, Fang Zheng gave her the task of high-altitude reconnaissance. Not only that, the little girl actually had the ability to be invisible, which also made Fang Zheng feel a lot more at ease. Otherwise, if Nymph encountered any danger and he couldn't lend a hand, it would be troublesome.

"Shh!"

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly stopped and made a gesture to Fina beside him. Fina also squatted down quickly, leaned next to Fang Zheng and clenched the scepter in her hand. Soon, the two heard footsteps, and then saw several figures covered in black robes walking out from the depths of the forest. They didn't have weapons, but the smell of sulfur on their bodies betrayed their identities.

Cultist.

"The master's orders must be obeyed."

The cultists did not notice that Fang Zheng and Fina were not far away, and instead started talking in low voices. Their voices were not loud, but for Fang Zheng, who had a sense as sharp as that of the Zerg, it was no different from someone singing in his ear.

"But isn't it too fast? We finally caught these lackeys of the Temple..."

"For the master's plan, this is all unnecessary! Don't forget our mission and duty! The master just sent a message that he has reached an agreement with that master. As long as we bring these captives to that master as agreed, we don't need to worry about other things!"

"But, is that wizard really trustworthy?"

At this time, a cultist asked in a gloomy voice. Upon hearing his words, another cultist sneered.

"He is a traitor. We don't need traitors. Only those corrupt and dirty idiots of the Dusk Legion would be interested in such a fool. But his power is necessary for the master. Since that foolish wizard thinks he can gain power through a deal, let him indulge in this short and beautiful dream. I believe that when the master arrives, he will understand what his choice really means."

At this point, the cultists let out a series of gloomy laughs and then turned and left.

"What a blasphemy..."

Listening to the cultists' speeches, Fina tightly grasped the scepter in her hand, revealing an angry expression. Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced around. Perhaps because of the magic barrier, these cultists did not conceal their actions and were not very vigilant. However, because of this, Fang Zheng finally got some useful information from these dedicated "NPCs".

It was obvious that the cultists did not attack the stronghold rashly, but had a premeditated plan. And these captives were brought here by them, seemingly to be given to someone. As for the purpose of these captives, it was nothing more than sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice... Anyway, the cultists didn't seem to know how to do anything else except this trick.

In addition, the words of this group of cultists also revealed a piece of information, that is, there is a wizard with them, and judging from what they said, the wizard seems to be a traitor. However, these are not important to Fang Zheng. The most important thing is the secret that these cultists just revealed.

Their master made a deal with a lord.

"Nymph."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately tightened the invisible chain in his hand and whispered to himself. Soon, Nymph's voice came to his ears.

"Yes, Master, what is it?"

"Can you search and see where the captured Templars are?"

"Of course, no problem. Please wait a moment... Found it. The detector scanned 23 disarmed humans. They are located in the northwest corner. There are ten soldiers guarding them."

"Where's the wizard?"

"It seems that he is not in the camp. I did not scan the other party's energy fluctuations."

"That's really interesting."

After hearing Nymph's report, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, and then he told Fina beside him about the current situation. After listening to Fang Zheng's story, Fina also frowned.

"So what should we do next?"

"In short, let's rescue those Templar warriors first. There are too many cultists here. We can't handle it with just the two of us."

Fang Zheng certainly didn't tell the truth. If he wanted to use the Lich King or Kerrigan, he would just go straight in. It's just a matter of numbers. Who can have more people than the Scourge and the Zerg? But considering the current situation, he was still reluctant to use these two guys. As for those Templar warriors, although they were captured, they should have some fighting power. Even if they can't beat the mage, they should have no problem dealing with ordinary cultists.

With Nymph as the aerial radar, it was easy for the two to avoid the cultists' sentries. In addition, perhaps because they trusted the external magic barrier too much, the cultists never thought that someone would sneak in. This also caused their internal defense to be almost empty. Not only did Fang Zheng look like he was strolling in his own backyard, but even Fina played the role of an ace agent - it was because the opponent was too useless.

It didn't take long for the two of them to sneak to the place where the Templars were imprisoned. It must be said that these Templars were indeed miserable. With the help of the firelight, Fang Zheng could see that the armor they were wearing had been taken off, leaving only a thin coat. Not only that, each of them had their hands tied tightly with an iron chain. It was a very strange iron chain, which looked dark red like rust and looked extremely fragile. It seemed that an ordinary person could break it with just a twist. But in fact, the Templars collapsed to the ground with powerlessness, their eyes were dull, and they looked as if their bodies were hollowed out.

"What happened to those guys?"

Looking at the Templar warriors lying on the ground with expressions of despair, Fang Zheng was also dumbfounded. He originally thought that even if these Templar warriors were injured, they should at least have some backbone. Why did they look like dead fish at the mercy of others?

"It's because of the Chaos Shackles, Mr. Fang Zheng."

As a priestess, Fina spotted the problem immediately.

"Those are shackles created by the cultists using chaos energy, specifically used to imprison the people of order. Once bound by the chaos shackles, they will not be able to exert any power."

"I see."

After hearing Fina's explanation, Fang Zheng suddenly realized that this was simply the item version of Chaos Son's DeBuff. It seemed that these cultists had not fought the Temple for so many years in vain, they all had some skills.

Now that we have figured out the reason why these Templar warriors' bodies were hollowed out, the next thing is how to rescue them. Thinking of this, Fang Zheng stuck his head out and looked around with the help of the firelight. Compared with other places, the security here is a little stricter. There are a total of ten cultists in charge of guarding. They are all wearing robes. Under the light of the fire, they stand there quietly like dead people, motionless. If Fina hadn't detected the breath of the dead from them, Fang Zheng would even suspect that these cultists were undead creatures.

But no matter what, what needs to be done must be done.

"Is it really okay, Mr. Fang Zheng? The opponent is quite strong."

Seeing Fang Zheng ready for battle, Fina asked anxiously. The ten cultists had a strong sulfur smell on them, and each of them was about the same strength as Conan Knight. This meant that these cultists were all elite-level, and Fina was not worried about one or two of them, but the problem was that there were ten of them, and they were located far apart. If something happened, they would probably be surrounded by a large group of cultists immediately!

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Drawing out the Sky-breaking Sword from his waist, Fang Zheng nodded to Fina. Then he looked forward and bent his body slightly.

The next moment, Fang Zheng's figure completely disappeared from Fina's sight.
