Chapter 315: Inside the Deep Church
So, we ran around on the church roof under the hail of bullets for half a day and suffered, and finally returned to the small church for purification.
Just to open a door! ?
The people in the Bone-piercing Squad all had strange looks on their faces. They knew that this was a shortcut, and they also understood that after the door was opened, if they died again, they could just go back to the church from the Purification Church quickly, without having to go to the cemetery and the roof again.
But, but, we really feel so tortured!
If it weren't for the fear that breaking in violently would lead to the disappearance of the reward and other unpredictable consequences, no one would be willing to go around in circles here, no one!
However, when the members of the Guza team looked at the cheerful and shining Fingerly, they silently took back what they had said in their hearts.
Well, it seems Fingerly likes this design.
No wonder he is the big boss. He can feel happy from the journey of suffering. The Guza team is ashamed of themselves in this respect.
“The design is really clever. It feels like the most sophisticated area I’ve come across so far.”
Fingri sighed and asked people to sit down next to the campfire. Under the light of the fire, their strength gradually began to recover and their fatigue was slowly alleviated.
If you think about it carefully, the Deep Cathedral seems to be the first map in all the areas of the Senn Dungeon that has a shortcut to the reused bonfire. Except for the special environment of the Kassas Underground Cemetery that makes it go straight, other areas are more like throwing adventurers in to run around by themselves, especially Lake Lienia.
When you are tired of exploring the big world, a small and exquisite sandbox will brighten your eyes.
Fingri looked at the other door that could not be opened from this side, and couldn't help but wonder where he would find a shortcut to open this door next? The more he thought about it, the more he looked forward to it.
The members of Hassawi's team were relaxing, while Guza's team took out their notebooks and started writing and drawing, apparently wanting to record the route they had taken before. Fingri and the others did not pay much attention to these because they had no plans to come up with a strategy, but Guza's team still valued these things.
The main route between the cemetery and the rooftop had been explored, and Tus tried to recall the route, and found that the only way to go was the branch path from the stairs coming down from the rooftop, which led to the interior of the Deep Church.
During the break, Tus also told everyone about the Jackbaldo in the well. As a result, a group of people surrounded the well with various supplies and asked the Onion Knight if he needed to be fed. In the end, the Onion Knight could only repeat "Thank you, but I don't need it", as if he had been played badly.
"Very good, we have rested enough, let's go!"
Climbing the stairs and heading towards the fork in the road, the adventurer will see a long and narrow winding corridor that can only accommodate two people walking side by side. The light that illuminates this place comes from nowhere, covering the place with a layer of light purple-black, a very uncomfortable and depressing color.
You can't see what's happening elsewhere from here. There seems to be a doorway at the corner. Matilda took the initiative to walk in front. The moment her big body appeared in front of the doorway, a group of thin slaves jumped down from the ceiling. Some of them fell to the ground to give her a pedicure, and some jumped on her body to scratch her head. In the end, they were killed one by one by her.
When the slaves appeared, everyone's expressions didn't change. They basically guessed that there would be an ambush here, either in the corner, on the ceiling, or in the doorway. Even if they came out from three directions at the same time,
Just as people thought of this, they saw a church knight wrapped up like a tin can rushing out of the doorway. He had just fought with Matilda when another one rushed out from the corner in front, this time with several slaves.
Well, enemies really come out from three directions. It turns out that Sion will always choose the most enjoyable operation.
The composition of the monsters inside the Deep Cathedral is very simple. There are slaves and mud monsters as the lower-level monsters, maggot men and Deep Bishops as the backbone, and the church knights who are small elites. In addition to these, there are also a few big guys and surprises.
The strength of the Cathedral Knight itself belongs to the D-level class. No matter how much the [Strength Balance] strengthens him, it is impossible for him to leap to the C-level. The best he can do is D++.
Therefore, the members of the Guza team can only defeat one church knight together, while each member of the Hassawi team can deal with several knights at the same time. The gap is too obvious.
Since they reached the roof, the Gu Zha team had been showing signs of becoming a burden, but now they have completely become a group creating atmosphere.
"Come on, come on, come on, seniors!"
The Cathedral Knights' moves were so powerful that they looked like small cursed ones, but Matilda no longer had the patience to fight with them and killed them in no time.
If I can’t kill the Cursed One quickly, can I kill you quickly too?
Moving forward along the corridor, we encountered a total of four church knights along the way. After defeating them, in addition to their equipment, they also dropped brave meat pieces or raw meatballs, which to some extent fits the background of the Deep Church. However, the end of the corridor is a dead end, and three treasure chests are clearly placed at the end, as if tempting people to open them.
Fingri threw a few throwing knives over and successfully verified that the three treasure chests were all treasure chest monsters.
Returning along the same route, and entering through the doorway from which the knights of the church had rushed out earlier, people finally arrived at a relatively spacious room. The layout of the room was almost the same as that of the chapel of purification, and it looked like a place for church members to pray. The candlesticks that looked like rakes were burning quietly, adding a dim light to the dark church.
Fingerly sat on the rows of wooden benches, looking at the pulpit, imagining himself as a believer listening to a sermon by a church member. The sense of immersion came immediately.
But before he could think more, he saw several zombies crawling out from under the pulpit.
Wait, those don't seem to be zombies. Some of them are tall and thin, while others are short and fat. They all wear robes with quite delicate embroidery. You can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people. They hold weapons of very strange styles in their hands, like daggers, but they are as delicate as ritual utensils. These guys are definitely not as simple as zombies.
Their name is [Bishop of the Deep]
The word "bishop" sounds quite noble, but in the deep cathedral of the game, there are as many of them as stray dogs on the roadside. Gong Qiying doesn't understand why the game is set up like this, but he simply treats them as monsters and releases them.
Compared to the monsters in the game who can only throw fireballs and wave weapons randomly, they show their real skills in the other world.
The bishops held up unknown weapons, and fired scorching fireballs of varying sizes at the people. This thing didn't seem to be anything to be afraid of, as the shooting speed was not fast and could be easily avoided. The Bone Squad could withstand it.
Fingri raised his hand to signal people to be patient. He wanted to see what tricks these monsters would use.
So the bishops gave him an exhibition.
[Fireball], [Flame Jet], [Sweeping Flame], [Ignite Fire]. They can use basic and advanced versions of fire spells, some of which even bring a sense of crisis to Fingri.
However, since the bishop's movement speed is very slow, not much faster than that of a zombie, the threat is greatly reduced.
In addition to these fire spells, the bishop would also release the magic [Deep Soul]. This magic successfully made Fingri leave his chair and stand up to resist, because this thing's black soul sediment would track the enemy, and its speed was not slow, at least faster than the bishop.
"Hiss, it hurts a bit when you hit me."
The bishops who realized the effectiveness of the Deep Soul wanted to repeat the magic in unison, but they were chopped into pieces by everyone before they could succeed.
How to say it, if these bishops were a little more skilled and acted like normal humanoid monsters, each of them could cause as much trouble as the church knights. Unfortunately, their foundation is almost the same as that of zombies, so they can only sit at the same table with the maggot people.
"The magic is quite powerful, but unfortunately it's still not good enough." Fingri said regretfully: "If there were more of them, they could really pose a threat if they gathered together."
"If I could design this dungeon, it would have to be a grand scene, like forming a 'choir' of hundreds of people. That would be exciting. It would be too boring if they just came out one by one."
"Just shut up." Matilda wanted to shove her fist into his mouth. Every time Fingri spoke, she had a bad feeling, just like the Gatling gun on the high platform just now.
But, well, it's impossible for the Sean dungeon to really have a weird scene where hundreds of bishops appear at the same time, right?
As she thought about it, she began to feel a little unconfident. This was a recognition of Sean's strength.
Leaving this small house, there are stairs going up. Halfway up, a bishop standing on a commanding height throws fireballs at them. If they run towards him, there will be a church knight hiding in the corner to launch a sneak attack. His position is quite insidious and Tus's head is almost knocked into his body.
It’s not a big iron ball rolling down from above, so I give a bad review.
"I keep feeling like we're going in circles on this winding road. Is this really the inside of a church?"
As soon as Team Guza finished speaking, Fingri pushed open the door in front of him and his vision suddenly became clear.
It was no longer the cramped corridors and stairs, nor the depressing prayer room. What appeared before them was...
It is a panoramic view of the interior of the deep church with an even more depressing atmosphere!
At this moment, they were standing on the high platform on the second floor, overlooking the entire deep interior of the church. They had a new understanding of the concept of "big". In front of the cathedral, the human individual was infinitely shrunk and seemed very small.
Far away on the opposite side is a high platform where many bishops and knights gather. It is brightly lit and exudes an extraordinary aura. It must be an important place.
It seems that you can get through by walking in a straight line, but obstacles are inevitable.
There is no way to get through from the high platform on the second floor because there is no road. The adventurer can only choose to go left. The right side is still collapsed, so the only choice is to find the road leading to the lower level and then run to the high platform, but two huge gates block the only way to the first floor.
What’s disgusting is that there is a green and sticky unknown substance deposited on the ground on the first layer, which looks a hundred times more disgusting than the swamp in the Fran Fortress!
On the edge of the swamp near the platform, a giant was curled up there, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. According to Sean's character, he would definitely be able to stand up.
What makes people want to complain the most is that the most light spots are distributed where the unidentified matter is densest and right next to the giant's feet. The designer's intention can be seen at a glance!
This is simply a conspiracy to lure people over!
The gate connects the two sides of the second floor and can be used as a bridge to facilitate adventurers' exploration.
"How about we use flying magic to fly all the way over there? Fly directly to the high platform opposite."
Faced with the magician's proposal, Fingerly thought about it seriously.
According to Sean's previous habits, the high platform opposite might be the place where the boss fights. There are obvious signs of activity on the two gates, so it should be possible to find the mechanism to lower them.
So the normal idea of exploration should be to use the gate as a bridge and search for the mechanism to lower the gate on both sides?
But they have the means of skipping classes, which is the art of flying, or in other words, the first thing that most adventurers think of when they see this kind of map design is definitely the art of flying.
But what they can think of, can't Sean think of it? By then, there will definitely be measures against flying, just like the magic academy.
I should still explore normally, but I really want to know what is on the platform right away, whether it is the boss or not.
"Everyone, let's vote."
Fingri turned around and told the people his conjecture, saying: "If you want to explore slowly, raise your left hand, and if you want to fly, raise -"
Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook. Tus suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed behind Fingri, stuttering, "Giant, giant!"
A huge shadow was cast from behind him, and Fingri turned slowly.
A giant was standing there, and his huge body brought an endless sense of oppression. This thing was actually curled up underneath, so people didn't notice it!
"This is the first time I have seen a living giant."
On this day, people once again remembered the fear of being dominated by giants.
