Chapter 343 Pope Sullivan

Chapter 343 Pope Sullivan

The heavy door slowly opened, and religious music accompanied by a woman's low moan rang out.

When people stepped into the cathedral, the atmosphere of this place, which was the cleanest and most tidy of all the scenes they had seen in the Thane dungeon, seemed to change slightly.

The sacred and solemn atmosphere makes people feel as if gods are waiting for everyone to see them.

Opposite the gate they came from was a doorway leading to the back of the cathedral.

In a quick glance, people's sight passed through the doorway and saw the mountains in the distance. The peaks were clustered under the cold sky, and it seemed that the black shadow of a dragon flashed above them.

A mountain where dragons live! ?

But before Eliphis could take a closer look, the doorway was shrouded by rising white mist. Not only that door, but the door behind them was also blocked by the white mist, which meant that they had no way out at all.

So, where is the boss?

At this moment, a strange sound was heard amidst the music that blended into the background. It was the sound of flames burning and cold wind howling.

The former comes from the burning flames in the City of Sin, and the latter comes from the cold wind in the painting world of Airedel, but the adventurers do not know this, they can only feel the change in the atmosphere.

After these two noises appeared, the solemn feeling of the gods in the atmosphere instantly weakened.

I don’t know if I’m thinking too much, but Sally has a strange feeling, as if the person who brought these two voices severely blasphemed and insulted God and shattered God’s dignity.

Just as he was thinking about why he was so good at reading comprehension, Eliphis in the front exuded a dangerous aura.

Because the enemy's figure is emerging.

In the center of the entire church, a dark purple light was surging, and Sally felt an aura from it that was extremely similar to that of the Deep Church. Was it the muddy deepness?

The aura was very similar, but the surging dark purple light was much more beautiful than the mud, and the evil nature revealed elegance. This elegance was turned into wildness by the red flames that ignited afterwards.

In the two colors, an illusory figure slowly emerged. When he appeared, people seemed to be tortured by fire and cold wind at the same time.

The music reached its climax with the woman's loud singing, and a dark purple illusory figure stepped out of the flame. This step seemed to step on people's hearts, causing everyone to stop for a moment.

The moment the enemy's figure was seen, the enemy's name appeared in everyone's mind.

[The Apparition of Pope Sullivan]

This is the avatar of the elusive pope who stayed here. His real body is nowhere to be found. But this phantom has almost the same strength as the real one.

The adventurers didn't feel anything, but Gong Qiying felt that it was a bit... not cool enough to let Salivan, the mastermind behind the entire Soul 3, appear here directly?

Just like the Full Moon Queen appeared in the form of a replica teardrop, it is normal and reasonable for Sullivan, who can split himself, to leave a clone to guard the cathedral, right?

All mercenaries were instantly on alert. Even though it was just an illusion, the sense of oppression it brought to them was no less than when they first met Overlord Wolnir.

Eliphis also reacted, but his brows were furrowed.

He frowned after seeing the two big swords held by Sullivan's phantom.

Pope Sullivan.

Ever since the Knight of War appeared before the adventurers, this name has been mentioned repeatedly. The equipment, weapons, props and even scenes related to Irithyll of the Frost Valley all mentioned this pope to some extent.

This naturally attracted people's attention, because the title of Pope sounds very powerful. So what do people know so far?

They knew that Pope Shalivan, who was based in Irithyll, was an ambitious careerist who sent troops outside of Irithyll for unknown purposes, and the shadows of the conquering knights could be seen everywhere.

They knew that Sullivan had reached a cooperation with the Deep Church, or the Deep Saint Aldridge, for an unknown purpose, which caused Aldridge to leave the Deep Church.

These don't prove anything, but the Pope's eyes that can turn people into beasts make everyone fully aware of his ambition. The various twisted creatures in the underground prison are also his work, and the tragedy of the little boy is also related to him. Such a person can never be a good person.

Later, it was discovered that before becoming Pope, Sullivan was a magician. It was said that he came from a humble background and relied on his own efforts to climb to the top step by step.

This made Eliphis admire him very much.

While appreciating the magic, the Light Eagle Group also made preparations for countermeasures against the Pope who was once a magician. They used all kinds of means to deal with magic and even spent a lot of money to buy a silver shield with a Tops force field. This thing is a rare commodity recently and only comes out once in a long time, so people are reluctant to use it to hit the Full Moon Queen's imitation tears.

Lian Eliphis has been concentrating on studying ways to deal with various forms of magic during this period, and has also spent time with the mercenaries to learn formations, mutual cooperation, etc. This time he has really made sufficient preparations and is more serious than when he fought the Overlord Wolnir.

He felt that with his current abilities and the various anti-magic formations formed by the mercenaries, they could win even against those well-known magic masters.

But, but.

Staring at the phantom of Pope Sullivan, Eliphis' eyes twitched slightly, and the captain of the assault team beside him acted as a mouthpiece and spoke out his real thoughts.

"Why is he holding two big swords? Isn't he a magician?!"

The impact of the two great swords, either burning with flames or flashing with purple light, was so strong that everyone ignored Sullivan's strange appearance - his face had no facial features, was covered by dense branches, and had obvious tree characteristics.

"Could it be that the two big swords are actually modified magic wands, so they can release magic while performing melee attacks?" Sally guessed. At this point, no matter how he guessed, it seemed to make sense.

The monsters that appeared in the Senn dungeon seemed to be very good at giving people a sense of shock and contrast. Pope Sullivan was actually a swordsmanship genius or something. This kind of thing made people feel like the Pope of the Church of Light in the outside world suddenly took out a giant stick during a battle.

Eliphis suddenly made a gesture, which was a gesture for the magicians to prepare anti-magic shields.

The interior of the church was very large, and they were naturally far away from Sullivan, so the meaning of this was self-evident.

At this distance, only magic can attack them!

Eliphis has already figured out the attack methods of Sean's elites and bosses. They will definitely launch an attack the first time they appear. At such a long distance, although the enemy is holding a big sword now, he who used to be a magician will definitely use magic!

Pope Sullivan wouldn't really abandon magic completely and rush over with a big sword to kill people, right?

No way?

While the magicians opened their magic shields, the strong mercenaries had already taken out the chain equipment used to restrain the dragon, and several captains were ready for their killing moves.

Sullivan's phantom took a step forward!

The mercenaries are in a state of high tension!

The phantom of Sullivan raised his hand, which marked the prelude to releasing magic!

The corners of Eliphis' mouth curled up!

The next moment, a huge amount of magic power surged inside the church like a stormy ocean. This must be an extraordinary magic attack. Under Eliphis's instructions, the magicians immediately strengthened the shield's defense against magic. The price was that the shield became more fragile, which meant that its defense against melee attacks became lower.

But it doesn’t matter. Being able to defend against Sullivan’s magic attacks is a good thing!

When his magic is blocked, I will take this opportunity to rush over and pierce his heart. Eliphis stared at Salivan's figure, thinking about the flaws revealed by the other party.

But the next second.

"Why is he gone?"

Sullivan's figure disappeared, but it is not quite right to say that he disappeared, because he appeared in front of people in just a moment.

It's a flash of extremely high purity!

The mercenaries realized this when they saw Salivan's taut arms and the increasingly brightly colored sword.

Brother, you, a magician, really play close combat!!!

The Greatsword of Sin ignited a raging fire of sin, and the Greatsword of Punishment lit up the purple magic representing the punishment of Dark Moon. Each power was shocking.

This is not just an ordinary slash, it is a solid, full-strength attack!

Eliphis took a second to react. Their intention to open the magic shield in advance was discovered by the enemy, so the enemy played a trick on them! Pretending to release magic, when everyone was fully focused on fighting the magic, they suddenly rushed over and released a slash.

How can a mere phantom have such high intelligence? This doesn't conform to the magic logic of this world!

Eliphis opened his arms and tried his best to mobilize the magic power in his body, but at this distance and this amount of time, how could he have enough time to open the shield?

"boom--"

The fire of sin and the magic of the dark moon instantly engulfed the entire church.

To make an analogy, this move is equivalent to Overlord Vorniel's wrath, or Sullivan's Phantom using a clearing move at the beginning of the game.

When the flames gradually dissipated, the Phantom did not pursue the victory, but retreated to give people a little time to react.

Why design such an operation? Wouldn't it be more efficient to kill the adventurers with all your strength from the beginning?

Because the dissipation of emotions, or mental energy, requires time to build up and brew.

Sally slowly opened his eyes, wondering if he was dead? If he died from this move, it wouldn't be surprising, he could accept it calmly.

However, when he found that he was not dead and saw the scene in front of him, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Aigs!"

Everyone opened their eyes and looked forward. Standing in front of everyone was Elsa.

If Sally hadn't shouted, no one would have recognized that the person in front of them was Elsa, because her face was completely unrecognizable and she stood there like a burnt puppet. Judging from her posture, she should have run in front of everyone and raised the giant sword to block it the moment Sullivan's phantom rushed over.

“Boom—”

Elsa fell to the ground, and there was no way to tell whether she was dead or alive. She could no longer feel any breath of life.

"Captain Gus was killed instantly!"

It wasn't an instant kill. Sullivan's phantom move was actually aimed more at Eliphis.

But Elsa rushed over. Although Eliphis didn't have time to open the shield, he was able to push the fire and magic attacking him from behind to Elsa, ensuring that he was almost unharmed.

This is the reason why Elsa can't make a comeback.

Fear exploded among the crowd like a bomb, and the Sen Dungeon happily accepted the friendly gifts from the adventurers.

But at this moment, Eliphis clapped his hands.

“Bang!”

The mercenaries' expressions were dull for a moment, and then they calmed down as if they were under a sedative. Eliphis clapped his hands again, and everyone became excited as if they were under a fanaticism. The fear of the phantom disappeared, replaced by a soaring desire to fight.

"Haha, go ahead and kill him!"

"He can kill Captain Gus in seconds. If I can kill him, then I can become the captain too!"

Fanatic emotions can also emit spiritual power, but it is less than negative emotions.

This was seen by Gong Qiying who was observing behind the scenes.

"What is Eliphis thinking about just giving away his own powerful fighting force?"

Gong Qiying couldn't understand why the other party did this. Even if Liphis and Elsa shared the damage together, the other party would not lose its combat effectiveness.

Maybe the other party has his own tactical arrangements?

But there was one thing Gong Qiying understood.

"Eliphis has the means to influence the mercenaries' emotions. He hinders the income of the Thane Dungeon."

As a result, Salivan's phantom's hatred towards Eliphis instantly reached the maximum.
