Chapter 396: Executed

Somla instantly transformed from a skinny old man into a mountain of flesh, reaching an astonishing height of five or six meters.

His skin was slightly transparent, as if it had turned into a layer of solid ice, and countless distorted afterimages could be seen flowing within his body.

Those were the souls that were slaughtered while refining the potion, including humans, various monsters, and some special evil spirits.

His original will was integrated into the completely insane group and he became one of them.

After the soul mutated, Somla's body continued to change. Black octopus-like tentacles, tentacles similar to tree roots, and deformed animal claws sprouted from his body like mushrooms after rain.

An aura of chaos and madness spread out from Somla's body, and the malicious power of laws completely replaced his own aura.

Not only that, his aura also changed noticeably.

Clown noticed that in his spiritual vision, the enemy's spiritual fluctuations had surpassed the level of the fifth level and reached the sixth level, and were still climbing.

He was slightly stunned. Was this a trick of "upgrading" right in front of him?

How stupid must one be to do such a thing? Now both sides are in a state of combat, and he is not interested in waiting until the enemy reaches its strongest state to verify his bravery.

In fact, his idea was unfair to Somla. The enemy had no thoughts at all at the moment. Countless wills were twisted and combined into a new form, and its own thinking was completely disordered and chaotic.

A sneer flashed across Clown's lips. He re-added his defensive state and then released a field of golden light.

The field containing the law of the sun has a strong rejection of all dark types of laws. He immediately saw green smoke burning on the enemy's skin.

A crackling sound was heard, momentarily drowning out the whistling of the wind. This was the collision and annihilation of the power of laws.

Klauen suddenly took a step forward and rushed towards the enemy like lightning.

He held the Ashbringer high up, and with the infusion of life energy, the weapon emitted a dazzling golden light, like a sun rising from the ground.

When he approached the enemy, he suddenly leaped up and stretched his body gracefully in the air.

He twisted his waist and exerted force, his body spun, the Ashbringer's sword light surged, the weapon penetrated like nothing, and cut off the enemy's head.

Crown landed calmly, turned his head and wanted to appreciate the miserable state of his enemy.

Perhaps the head was not a fatal part for the mutant creatures, and the expected end to the battle did not occur.

When Somla lost his head, it was like opening Pandora's box, and the remaining souls trapped in his body rushed out.

Thick black clouds dispersed the wind and snow, and some of them even rushed towards Crown.

Many residual souls were burned or even ignited by the golden light field, but the number of residual souls was too large. They rushed forward one after another, and some of them always approached him.

The dragon soul moved, flashed in front of its master, and opened its mouth to spit out a breath of golden dragon breath.

Its dragon breath contains the law of true fire of the sun, which is much stronger than the power of Fujin's law. Coupled with the bonus of the law of the sun in the golden light field, the damage increases dramatically.

The soul wave formed by the remaining spirits became a gentle stream flowing into the raging fire, adding fuel to the flames.

But the residual souls seemed endless, constantly pouring out from Somla's headless body. As the laws were eroded, the power of the golden light field decreased sharply.

Klauen frowned slightly and no longer waited for the field to slowly wear down the enemy. Who knew what kind of trouble this monster, which was still alive but dead, would cause.

Rose-gold wings spread out from behind him, and he moved into the air.

At the same time, the seal in his hand changed, and the Sun Thunder Seal had already condensed in his palm.

He activated the Thunder Seal and threw it at the enemy. A dazzling golden light appeared and the remaining spirit let out a horrified howl.

The huge sound wave vibrated Crown's eardrums, but it came and went quickly. Under the influence of the domineering solar law, the remaining soul instantly vaporized and turned into wisps of green smoke, which slowly dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

Two solar thunder seals were activated, and the enemy was completely purified, leaving only a dozen small stones the size of finger joints, glowing with glazed golden light, on the ground.

Is this a 'relic' that was burned out?

This point touched upon Crown's blind spot in knowledge. He had never known such a thing in his cognitive system.

He landed gently, bent down, picked up the glowing little stones, and examined them in his hands.

Pinching one of them with two fingers, he gradually increased the strength. These stones were very hard and showed no signs of breaking.

After appreciating these items for a long time, Crown did not find out what they were used for. He put them into his space ring, preparing to examine them slowly later.

He is also a senior alchemist, so testing the properties of materials is not a problem for him at all.

The snowstorm grew heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping. In a short period of time, all traces of the earth were buried.

Crown reported his safety to Flanders through the golden light seed, then flew up and headed towards Rhine City.

In the morning, when the sun dispelled the gray fog and brought light to the world, a meeting was held in the meeting hall of the Holy Fire Cathedral. All the extraordinary people above level three in the diocese attended the meeting.

Flanders presided over the meeting and first reported the casualties and aftermath of last night. The Archbishop then concluded: "According to our statistics and Clown's report, the casualties of the Kurud tribe last night were far greater than ours.

The enemy lost one sixth-level transcendent, four fifth-level transcendents, twenty fourth-level transcendents on the left and back, and nearly a hundred third-level transcendents.

I think under normal circumstances, the enemy will not be able to organize a threatening attack in the next few years, and the barbarian tribes are no longer the most important threat we face. "

Everyone looked at Crown with burning eyes. If it weren't for him, Rhine City would have been in great danger last night.

The sixth-level enemies were not something they could fight against.

And Bishop Crown was able to deal with an opponent of this level. Doesn’t the implication behind this be that the opponent has also reached the same level?

In the era of the revival of the evil god, it is a blessing for everyone in Rhine City to have teammates who are famous and powerful and unrivaled.

"Bishop Clown, excuse me for asking, are you already a sixth-level transcendent now?"

One bishop couldn't help but ask the question in his mind, and everyone stared at Clown expectantly.

Clown glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and said, "It's been a while since I reached the sixth level, and I didn't intend to hide it from you."

"Haha, the bishop is too low-key. If I advance to the sixth level, I will definitely announce it to the whole world."

Everyone is proud of it. The sixth level has already entered the divine reserve team. Who knows, one day he may be able to take the last step and achieve the golden stigma.

The other party is still young, but he has already made history many times. It is still very likely that he will advance to the level of a god, right? !

For a moment, everyone gave their blessings. Clown responded with a smile. Finally, unable to bear the annoyance, he had to divert everyone's attention and said, "Everyone, let's continue the meeting. The church suffered heavy casualties last night, and there is still a lot we need to do."

Flanders added: "Let's continue the meeting. If you want to flatter Crown, there will be plenty of time later."

Everyone smiled and the noise in the meeting room disappeared.

Daniel said:

“I have a different opinion about the archbishop’s reasoning.

When the enemy was sniped on the outskirts of the Andes Mountains, a large number of high-level warriors of these mountain people were also killed by our side.

At that time, we thought that the enemy was no longer a concern, but what about now? The enemy has not only grown stronger, but has even posed a fatal threat to Rhine City.

If it weren't for Clown's arrival, all of us would probably no longer exist."

The Kurud tribe's initial paper strength was stronger than that of the Rhine City Diocese, which could be seen from the enemy's casualties in the end.

Even though so many high-level warriors died, the enemy still recovered quickly. The story behind this is even more frightening.

What kind of evil god is standing behind these barbarians that allows them to recover quickly and improve rapidly.

Daniel had another thought in his mind that frightened him even more. If the evil gods could support the cultists in this way, why didn't the various churches of gods receive such treatment? Whenever he thought of this, he felt a chill down his spine, as if all his strength had disappeared. He didn't dare to think too deeply.

There was another thing that Daniel was very curious about. How could Crown appear so coincidentally? He appeared at the most critical moment of the Holy Fire Cathedral and rushed from Hamers to Rhine City in the middle of the night. This was not common sense.

The other party must have a channel that he didn't know about to communicate with Rhine City, and the person most likely to pass the message to them was none other than Flanders.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Flanders coughed and said:

“I have also thought about Bishop Daniel’s question.

As far as I know, the evil gods have a method that can raise their subordinates to several extraordinary levels in a short period of time. The lower the original extraordinary level of the subordinates, the stronger the effect.

This improvement is not without cost, it requires a huge amount of blood essence energy.

The enemy suffered too many casualties this time, and it is no longer realistic to provide so much blood energy to improve itself.

Of course, this is just my guess. I will still order the troops stationed in Zak Town to closely monitor the Andes Mountains. "

He paused, and said with some guilt:

"There is one thing I cannot avoid: we ourselves are also largely responsible for this attack.

Since the protection array was activated, night patrols outside the city have no longer been carried out, resulting in a large number of enemies coming to the edge of Rhine City without us noticing.

In the future, we will resume the night patrol system, still using the double insurance of visible and hidden sentries."

"The Archbishop is right. I second the motion."

“Second.”

Everyone agreed with this proposal. The lesson this time was too tragic. If the enemy did this again, they would not have the same luck as yesterday.

At this moment, Flanders' attendant walked into the meeting room, whispered a few words in his ear and left.

His face immediately darkened, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

“I just received news that the original defenders of Zak Town are safe and sound.

The enemy came out of the Andes not from there, they found another way.”

His tone sounded somewhat annoyed. The heavy snow had covered up all traces of the enemy's movements, and they had no way of knowing where the enemy came from.

This way, the threat they face becomes even greater.

Clown smiled and said:

“As to where the enemy comes from, I know.

I have no idea of ​​the barbarian tribes' routes in the Andes, but I have interrogated them to find out where they walked out of the Andes and entered our jurisdiction.

The enemy came out of the mountains from the town of Butchi, 50 kilometers south of Zak, and there was a very hidden path in the valley there.

Of course he wasn't interrogating her, it was just an excuse to cover up the fact that he was using the ability to go back in time.

While pursuing the enemy, he learned the enemy's route.

After killing Somla, he returned to the edge of Rhine City to look for the enemy's origin.

Even though the snow covered the ground, he was still able to easily find and restore the enemy's route.

Flanders was pleasantly surprised, and said with shining eyes: "Great! This intelligence is worth a fortune. We can set up a fixed outpost in Buchi. We don't need to be able to resist powerful enemies, as long as we can provide intelligence and monitor the Andes Mountains."

With accurate information, effective deployment can be made, which is why battlefield commanders attach great importance to intelligence.

Crown pondered for a moment and said, "After the meeting, I will go to Butcher Town to see if I can find some clues."

The time-rewinding ability can now go back 36 hours to the target area. If the clues continue, he may be able to find the place where the cultist tribe is stationed.

Daniel advised, "I think it's better to forget it. The heavy snow will cover all traces, and there's a high probability that you will accomplish nothing if you go to Butchi."

What he said was already very tactful. It was completely a pipe dream to try to track the traces left by the enemy in heavy snow.

Clown responded gently, "I have another secret method to check the clues. This secret method is not greatly affected by bad weather."

Rewinding the 'surveillance tape', there is no better intelligence officer than him.

"If you are sure, just go for it. I support you."

Flanders nodded vigorously. After experiencing the shock of last night, he now trusted Crown unconditionally. The other party could always create miracles. If the other party could do this impossible thing, it should be possible.

He glanced around the room and said loudly:

“Some time ago, I purchased the Moon Soul Spirit Light Formation provided by Clown. Even I didn’t expect that this formation could actually resist the attack of a sixth-level extraordinary person in a short period of time.

I propose that we purchase a few more sets from Crown in the name of the church and install them in the Holy Fire Cathedral, trying to completely cover every inch of the cathedral.

In this way, the Cathedral of the Holy Fire can become a true place of sanctuary.”

He wanted to build Rhine City into an impregnable city. When combined with the use of a protective array, the defense strength of Rhine City could completely reach the effect of the Vatican's protective array.

"Agreed," everyone said at the same time.

They also wanted to experience the magic circle that could defend against sixth-level attacks.
