"In that case, even if we have a suppression magic formation, it will be very difficult."

"Then what are you waiting for? Just use whatever means you have. Even if the third-level Stone Elemental Lord's strength is suppressed, he is not that easy to deal with." A red-haired second-level wizard said on the side.

"Hawkins, before the main attack, I still need your help. I need your giant bronze golem to hold back the Stone Elemental Lord in front. Otherwise, no one will dare to take action." Baghdadi said.

"No problem, Baghdadi!" Hawkins said, patting his chest.

He took out a peculiar metal whistle, put it in his mouth and blew it. Suddenly, there was a vibration on the right side of everyone.

After a while, a giant bronze golem about twelve meters tall strode over from the side.

The golem seemed to be made entirely of cyan metal, and indeed, as its name suggested, it was made of bronze. However, only Hawkins and a few others knew that most of the material of this giant bronze golem was made of a special bronze alloy.

Note, it’s not bronze, it’s bronze alloy.

The overall shape of the giant bronze golem is similar to that of a human, but there are three thick pipe devices on its back, which are the exhaust channels for condensate.

For an elemental lord as huge as Rokor, no matter whether they are gray dwarves, humans, lizardmen or murloc warriors, they cannot serve as solid shields to withstand Rokor's rolling stone charge.

Unless death is the price every time, perhaps the opponent can be restrained, but the loss is too huge and it is not safe.

Therefore, the giant war golem of the same size as Roccol is the best shield for the great wizards to defend against Roccol's attacks.

Moreover, it cannot be an ordinary rock golem.

For example, the two rock golems at the gate of Tug City cannot be activated this time to join the battle against the stone elemental lord Rokor.

Because once they join, these two rock golems will be restrained by the innate abilities of the Stone Elemental Lord and will instead become helpers of the enemy.

As soon as the giant bronze golem approached the designated battlefield, it immediately locked onto Rokor and began to charge towards him.

Rocour also apparently noticed this giant structure that was only slightly smaller than himself.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the two huge monsters collided violently.

After being suppressed by the witch formation, Roccol's power was weakened considerably. The giant bronze golem, which should have been no match for him, was actually able to match his strength.

"Attack!" Baghdadi roared.

Suddenly, all kinds of colorful witchcraft flashed! "Curse of Weakness!"

"Force field dispel!"

"Metal Torrent!!"

"Slow down method!"

For a moment, Rockall was beaten back step by step by the witchcraft, and was in powerless rage!

"Iron Fist Combo!" Baghdadi struck while the iron was hot.

I saw three huge metal condenser tubes behind the giant bronze golem, and the whistle sounded loudly! Apparently, the energy source in its body began to operate at high power, causing the body temperature to rise suddenly, and the condensate began to boil.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”

The huge iron fist as big as a door panel began to ruthlessly attack Rockall's hard rock body.

The speed was so fast that the pair of iron fists swung back and forth like a high-speed pile driver, and only a trail of afterimages could be seen.

A few seconds later, a large area of ​​the rocky surface in front of Rockor was shattered, and basin-sized stones kept falling off, scattering in the air and raising dust.

This caused Rocour, who was cursed with at least ten negative effects, to shout angrily, "Mortals! You've angered me!"

"It seems that the second-level wizard is no longer an ant or a reptile in the eyes of the elemental lord, but is called a mortal." Hawkins on the side couldn't help but joked.

To everyone's surprise, just when everyone was preparing to deal with Rokor's ultimate move, who could have thought that this "great" stone elemental lord Rokor actually turned around and began to flee towards the passage.

Yes!

At this moment, Rocal was suppressed and restrained by the wizard formation, and he could not exert the strength of the third level at all. Without the full coverage force field, Rocal was not much stronger than a second-level wizard.

Moreover, those who are besieging Lokor now are not just one or two level 2 great wizards, but ten in total, the top leaders of the most elite forces in Tug City, and they have no shortage of all kinds of rare magic potions, alchemical products, etc.

Upon seeing this, Baghdadi immediately shouted, "Hawkins, let the bronze golem block Rockall's retreat!"

"Everyone, I hope you can exert your full strength at this moment and try your best to keep the Elemental Lord Rokor alive. Let his head be used as a sacrifice to our brave city guards!"

Several second-level wizards looked at each other in bewilderment. It was not easy for them to kill a third-level elemental lord.

The most important thing is definitely the worry about the other party's desperate counterattack.

"Don't worry! The giant cannon puppet is on the way, I believe we have a great chance of success!"

"Everyone, if you can successfully kill Rokor, I can represent the City Lord's Mansion and not participate in the distribution of spoils. I think just one third-level Heart of the Earth will definitely make up for all your losses."

Baghdadi's words immediately brightened the eyes of the second-level wizards present.

The long-range attack power of the giant cannon puppet can be said to be no less than the melee attack power of the giant bronze golem.

If a shell hits the target, its power is no less than that of a second-level offensive witchcraft.

Money can move people's hearts, and the same is true for the second-level wizards, but the only things that can move them are the more precious and valuable items.

The third-order stone elemental lord can be said to be full of treasures. If they can successfully kill him, everyone will naturally make a lot of money! Suddenly, the density of witchcraft flying towards Rocour more than doubled! This made Baghdadi and Hawkins look at each other and smile.

As expected, they are all those guys who won’t release their eagles until they see the rabbit. ——Outskirts of Tug City.

Nicole, who was covered in wounds, was holding Grace's body under his armpit and was quickly rushing to a place under the escort of several gray-robed men around him.

"Have you retrieved the Soul Essence Ball?" Nicole asked quickly as she walked.

"Sir, we have retrieved it. Just as expected, we have collected a total of seven soul essence balls." A man in gray said respectfully.

"Seven? It was enough originally, but now I don't know if it is enough." Nicole lowered her head, glanced at Grace who seemed to be asleep, and muttered to herself.

"There is no other way now. Let's go back first."

The group quickly ran towards the remote valley where they had originally settled.

Half an hour later, when Nicole arrived at the Secret Valley, she did not stop but chose to continue walking inside.

At the deepest part of the valley, there was a rock wall tens of meters high. After Nicol went around a huge rock, he found a cave more than three meters high covered by vines on the rock wall in front of him. The cave was deep and dark.

Although there are a small number of emerald green flame lamps placed on both sides, visibility is still not high, and due to its special emerald green light, the entire cave presents a weird and evil atmosphere.

However, as Nicole and his companions went deeper into the cave, they encountered more and more members of the Jade Fire Church.

It seems that this valley should be a large stronghold that has been operated by the Jade Fire Church for a long time.

"Nicol sacrifice!"

"Master Priest!"

"Good day, sir!"

Church members kept stopping, bowing slightly to Nicole and greeting her respectfully.

It seems that the status of the priest Nicol in the Jade Fire Church is higher than expected.

Although, in theory, there are bishops in charge of a region and patriarchs in charge of all church affairs. The patriarchs of some churches are called popes or patriarchs, etc. The names are different, but the meanings are similar.

"Is Bishop Antonio in the prayer room?" Nicole stopped a gray-robed church member and asked.

"Yes, Priest Nicol, Bishop Antonio just woke up and is now in the prayer room." A gray-robed church member answered with a little awe.

Nicole's reputation for cruelty was well-known even within the church.

After asking the other men to wait outside the prayer room, Nicole held Grace tightly under her armpit and knocked on the door of the prayer room.

"Knock, knock, knock! Teacher, it's me!"

"Is that Nicole? Come in!" an old voice came.

But what was surprising was that judging from the voice, the other party seemed very weak, and did not have the strength and demeanor that a bishop should have at all.

You know, even if it is a cult, its setup is almost the same as that of the Orthodox Church. Generally speaking, a bishop needs to have the strength of a second-level great wizard to take the position.

Nicole gently pushed the door open and flashed into the room.

"Teacher! I have collected all the soul stones." Nicole said respectfully with a slight bow.

The prayer room in front of him was not very big, only about 70 or 80 square meters.

There are very few decorations inside. There is a huge candlestick on both sides of the innermost part of the room. The shape of the candlestick is a mountain shape stacked three times, which means there are a total of nine candles, which are burning with a special emerald green flame.

The diameter of the stone platform is about three meters, and a special and complicated witch formation has been drawn on it.

Nicole's so-called teacher was now kneeling with his back turned, hunched over, and praying in front of the statue.

However, when he heard Nicole's words, he immediately turned his head.

What appeared before Nicole was an old face with wrinkled skin. From the outline, one could barely make out that the bishop was actually a rare underground human.

Although he looked very old, his joy was beyond words after hearing Nicole's words.

He seemed so impatient to grab the green box that Nicole handed to him that he didn't even notice the criss-cross wounds on Nicole's body.

However, no matter how careless he was, the other party obviously saw a living person.

When Antonio saw Grace tucked under Nicole's arm, he was startled and asked in confusion: "Hey! Nicole, who is this person?"

"This is my former lover from the Night Elf Empire. This time she came to the Gray Dwarves to carry out a mission and was seriously injured. I hope the teacher can save her life."

"Let me take a look first, then put it on the ground."

Nicole followed the instructions, walked forward and laid Grace flat in front of the old man.

The other party waved his hand gently above Grace's body. A green light swept Grace from head to toe. Bishop Antonio hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Nicole, her injuries are too severe to be healed."

In fact, it's not that Antonio can't save Grace's life, but the price is too high. If he uses the seven soul balls in his hand and prays for the king's blessing, he can certainly revive Grace.

However, the Soul Essence Ball was used to prolong his life, so it was naturally impossible to use it for other purposes.

After listening to this, Nicole couldn't help but fall silent.

At this time, Antonio continued to babble: "Nicole, don't worry about the past. If I can successfully extend my lifespan this time, I will definitely create opportunities for you to be promoted to level two. By then, you will also be promoted to bishop and be in charge of another district."

"By then, you will have any woman you want!!"

As Antonio spoke, his hands moved very fast and he didn't look old at all.

He quickly opened the green box that Nicole handed him, and placed fist-sized light green crystals evenly spaced on the vertices of the magic formation on the altar that had been drawn long ago.

He had waited too long for this moment.

His life span was about to end, and he had tried all the life-extending potions, exotic fruits, etc. that he could find.

Although it has a certain life-extending effect, it cannot withstand the passage of time and is just a drop in the bucket.

If he wants to significantly increase his lifespan, he can only pray for the gift of the Jade Fire King Xavius!

But the prayer ceremony requires extremely harsh conditions, such as the heart of a three-headed sea serpent, the claws of a Norman giant bear, etc., which have all been collected before.

The only thing that won’t work is the seven soul stones. Each one must be a high-quality soul stone containing at least the soul of a formal wizard, and they have never been collected.

Unlike blood essence stones, soul essence stones have extremely high quality requirements! It takes about the soul of a formal wizard plus the souls of a hundred wizard apprentices to condense into a soul essence stone.

If the quality is not enough, it will not be able to condense no matter how many ordinary people you kill.

After consoling Nicole, Antonio ignored him and started the ceremony on his own, placing the heart of the three-headed sea serpent and the claw of the Norman giant bear on the altar . Finally, he opened his arms and chanted the spell loudly.

"Great Jade Fire King, please listen to your humble servant"

But what he didn't notice was that there was a pair of ferocious eyes like a beast behind him, which began to turn blood red and were staring at him fiercely. "Puff!"

A sharp claw instantly pierced Antonio's hunched body from behind!

When the sharp claws stretched out from the chest, it was seen that what was held in the palm was Antonio's still beating heart.

Antonio's eyes opened wide with an expression of disbelief. He looked down at the claws. They were so familiar!

I barely turned my head and saw a pair of bloodshot and cruel eyes.

"Nicole you."

“Bang!”

The heart was crushed in an instant, like a raw egg, blood gushed out. Nicole used her strong arms to throw Antonio's body away and abandoned it in the corner.

And spat viciously: "Old man, I have tolerated you for a long time. If you can save Grace, I can let you live a little longer. Now, you can go!"

Nicol originally had this plan, to kill this troublesome old guy. He was already at the top level of level one. After receiving the gift from the Jade Fire King through the ceremony, he would definitely be able to break through to level two and become the bishop of the Tug City area.

However, an accident occurred during this operation. Grace's sudden death forced him to change his plan!

At the same time, a young human face appeared in front of Nicole's eyes.

If it weren't for him, this would never have happened.

Boy, sooner or later I will tear out your soul and whip it for a hundred years!

Nicole gently placed Grace's body on the altar in front of the statue.

He began to chant a spell: "Great Jade Fire King, please listen to the call of your servant."

After the lengthy spell, a subtle and powerful wave of mental power came from the statue.

Instantly, a deep, cross-border voice sounded in Nicole's heart:

"I am very satisfied with this sacrifice. Tell me, what do you want?"

"King, I want to improve my strength to level 2. At the same time, I would like to ask you to help me save the woman in front of me."

After thinking about it, Nicole decided to give it a try! Even though she knew that making two requests at once might cause the king's displeasure! A stream of air suddenly appeared and circled around Grace lying on the altar twice.

"Greedy servant, she is already dead. If your sacrifice wants to fulfill two conditions, there is only one way."

Wow, it was actually possible to achieve two goals at the same time. Nicole was so happy that she didn't even notice the slight sarcasm and ridicule in the low voice.

"I can accept any method," Nicole said firmly.

"In that case, then fine."

Nicole could actually hear a joking tone in the Jade Fire King's answer. Could it be that the king was particularly satisfied with her?

This must be the case!

Suddenly, Nicole felt dizzy and passed out the next second.

When he woke up again, he felt better than ever. All his wounds had healed, and his strength had reached the initial level 2!

However, at the soul level, he felt a sense of heaviness, no, a sense of fullness! It was as if something had been forcibly stuffed into his original body, causing it to feel full and bloated.

Grace's body was no longer on the altar.

The seven soul stones on the edge of the altar, which had been emitting powerful energy fluctuations, had already shattered at this moment.

Obviously, the energy was consumed during the sacrifice process, or was taken away by the King of Jade Fire.

"That's not right. The king promised to resurrect Grace, so why is she nowhere now?" Nicole muttered to herself.

He looked around but couldn't find Grace in the prayer room. Instead, Antonio, who he had killed, was still hunched over in the corner.

"Nichol, are you awake?" Grace's hesitant voice sounded in Nicole's heart.

Nicole was startled, as if the voice came from her body. Could it be that... "Grace, you..."

"I seem to be inside you now."

Nicole's face was full of disbelief for a moment, but after a while, her expression returned to calm.

At least Grace is still alive, isn't she!

"Grace, can you come out then?"

After a moment of silence, Grace replied, "It seems possible, but I can only come out after you, the original owner of this body, falls asleep."

Suddenly, Nicole's handsome face turned extremely pale.

If that's the case, it means that I will never see Grace again.

This seems to be another farthest distance in the world. My beloved, you are inside me, but I can never see you!
