Chapter 421

When Xia De saw the light in front again, he temporarily left the long and narrow passage covered with silt and came to a relatively spacious space inside the temple. This place was probably something like a library before, and rotten wooden shelves could be seen everywhere in the silt on the ground.

The fish-man high priest wearing a red sacrificial robe was fighting with Professor Sanchez, the vice dean of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy. Although the fish-man high priest was only at the ninth tier, in the temple, its power seemed to have been enhanced. It was just that even so, it was still comprehensively suppressed by Professor Sanchez; the professor's victory was already doomed.

"Who are you?"

Like the church ring-warlock at the temple entrance, Professor Sanchez also asked this question. It was just that Xia De still didn't speak, wanting to bypass them and move forward.

Whether it was the red-robed high priest or the professor, neither of them meant to block him; the professor even reminded:

"The front is more dangerous; the power of the god rejects non-believers like us; no matter what you want to do, for the sake of you being human, I must remind you: if it is not necessary, don't move forward."

Xia De shook his head, bypassed the two, raised the fishing rod, and ran forward.

After the tattoo led Xia De into the passage again, the air clearly became heavy. Running a few more steps, the air was like a quagmire preventing Xia De from moving forward. A powerful force radiated from the front to the surroundings; that was a power Xia De was very familiar with.

Although the area of the temple building complex was large, under full-speed running, Xia De finally reached the end.

This was the true Old God's temple; when Xia De appeared from the passage exit, his line of sight passed over the huge black stone courtyard pillars supporting the building, passed over the strange and weird fish-man statues and mermaid statues inserted into the ground, and even passed over the four people who were fighting, and he saw the holy emblem hanging on the wall in the deepest part of the temple at a glance.

Here the light was faint, but the holy emblem radiated a bright golden brilliance.

At this time, that strange and twisted feeling was only slightly better than being directly stared at by the Evil God last time. Coming to the temple, Xia De even felt his skin squirming, as if trying to spontaneously transform into the form of an aquatic creature. But because of the reaction force of some powerful power in the flesh, this transformation could not be carried out at all.

The red spiral phantom accompanied by the double images in front of his eyes became clearer and clearer. He could vaguely hear prayers, but it was also like someone whispering in his ear. That low and chaotic voice poured directly into his ears; if Xia De were not used to various occasions of facing gods, he would probably have fallen to the ground and twitched after leaving the passage.

Among the four people who were fighting, the ugly fish-man high priest was actually at the twelfth tier; Xia De did not expect that there would be such a ring-warlock in the Ringed Shushi. But since the other party dared to rashly launch the ritual, it was understandable to have such a high-tier warlock.

It was just very unfortunate that its opponent was a thirteen-tier warlock. Judging from the holy emblem hanging on the chest and the fighting style, this black-wind-coat middle-aged man who calmly manipulated countless tiny brass metal creations should belong to the Church of Creation and Destruction.

And besides the two, Xia De actually saw Dac Nisi who took off his red gloves, and Miss Xivi Aurora whose face seemed to have a layer of hazy thin mist. Of course, because he couldn't see her face, and her clothes had changed, Xia De didn't determine who this was at first, but the hot badge on his chest was reminding him that Lengshuigang could not have a second great witch.

Xia De immediately took off the golden ring and put it in his pocket, and was very glad that the red seawater made his clothes completely unrecognizable from the original style.

The other three could stand in the temple strongly influenced by the god's power without being affected; Xia De was not surprised, but Dac Nisi, who was only at the sixth tier, could actually resist the pressure of being stared at by the god, which was somewhat beyond expectation.

Except for the twelfth-tier fish-man, everyone else's power was suppressed.

The battle between Dac Nisi and Miss Aurora was unusually eerie; the former was hunched over, the fate ring belonging to a sixth-tier warlock appeared behind him, and around him was a piece of dark vortex; his strange right hand expanded into a huge, flesh-colored, incomprehensible creature's upper body, and sulfur and black flames continuously sprayed from the monster's laughing mouth.

Miss Xivi Aurora almost did not fight back, and even her fate ring did not appear; she had been using the sorcery of telekinesis to passively defend against the fish-man statues standing in the temple. But this witch, who was even stronger than Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, had no reason to be unable to beat Dac Nisi. Xia De still remembered that Miss Miss Jia Lin Na dared to try to rush forward when facing the Evil God, and could successfully retreat.

The witch seemed to be wary of the thing growing out of Dac Nisi's right hand, so she did not use her full strength.

"Why did Dac Nisi and the witch also run here?"

Xia De wondered, and then saw the blood-red fish-man tattoo on the fishhook that kindly brought him here actually dissipate.

The scattered blood color merged into the temple, drifting into the fish-man and mermaid statues standing in the temple. It seemed that this was the true source of the mermaid curse; thinking about it, the initial curse-spreading object, the mermaid small statue, originally belonged to the temple.

The four people fighting quickly discovered the stranger standing at the temple entrance, but no one knew what this person was doing.

"Stranger, help me defeat the people of the True God Sect. After the tsunami submerges Lengshuigang, I will give you the fish-men's treasure. Elixirs of immortality, gold and silver utensils, ancient documents, cult classics, take your pick!"

The fish-man high priest was the first to speak; its face was extremely fish-like, although not as fish-like as the captain of the bone pirate ship and the oil painting in Mr. Jude's safe, it was definitely the most fish-like human face Xia De had seen in Lengshuigang.

Its body skin was all covered with slimy wrinkled scales, and the holy emblem of the Evil God was carved on the back of its two hands and forehead. People who were qualified to do this were probably the true controllers of the Ringed Shushi.

"Don't believe these cultists; the Sea Return ritual cannot succeed; stranger, help me deal with him, and the sacrifices in the city can be fewer. No matter what organization you belong to, we are all human; the church will give you appropriate rewards."

The church ring-warlock manipulating the brass mechanical creations spoke very directly, without using any rhetoric like justice to persuade Xia De. However, his accent was wrong; he was not a Deraerion. This one should be temporarily transferred from Karsenrik by the Church of Creation.

"Stranger, help me deal with this person possessed by a demon. After the matter, a non-bearer bill of two thousand pounds, how about it? Banks in big cities can cash it."

Miss Aurora also spoke; although the two sides were very close now, the power belonging to the Evil God in the temple was too strong, and she could not accurately perceive the abnormality on Xia De.

"She is a witch, don't believe her!"

Dac Nisi said loudly; his own voice was very steady, but the demon on his right hand was unusually sharp and harsh.

"Don't you make an offer?"

Xia De moved his line of sight from the holy emblem in the deepest part of the temple for a moment, frowned, and asked.

"What?"

Dac Nisi was stunned.

"I mean, the other three people all made offers; don't you make an offer?"

Xia De repeated it again, and before the latter looked over, his body suddenly disappeared inside the temple.

"Careful! It's the power of space!"

Dac Nisi's right-hand demon suddenly roared; the strange blasphemous language affected space, but only Xia De and Dac Nisi himself could understand it.

The latter instinctively swung his right arm behind him; the demon's wide-open mouth bit the Moonlight Greatsword Xia De swung out dead.

The sword radiated holy silver light, and the demon's mouth appeared with blisters as if burned, emitting foul black smoke.

The power of the sixth-tier warlock's strange right hand was far from what the second-tier Xia De could contend with. But while the power of that piece of flesh and blood had not faded, Xia De could barely resist.

But that mouth was indeed powerful; it was just two or three seconds, and cracks appeared on the Moonlight Greatsword. Dac Nisi's left hand was about to reach for Xia De's heart, but another Moonlight Greatsword stabbed out from the void actually slashed down.

A strange dark vortex suddenly appeared in front of the Moonlight Greatsword. The two-handed sword stabbed from the void fell into the darkness and disappeared completely. At the same time, the sword in Xia De's hand was completely bitten and broken by the sharp teeth.

He immediately retreated, and Dac Nisi probably still had concerns about the witch on the side, so he did not chase.

"Last time you said you were sixth-tier, and asked me what tier I was; now do you have an answer?"

Xia De asked softly, his eyes glancing at the holy emblem on the wall in the deepest part of the temple.

"You..."

The half-body demon on his right hand suddenly roared and extended its arm, wanting to tear Xia De, but Xia De disappeared again and appeared in a further position.

"Is it you? The person on the roof?"

The middle-aged man suddenly realized.

"That report letter with a 'one shilling' note clipped to it, did you write it to the Natural Church? Wait, your signature is..."

The church ring-warlock with a Karsenrik accent suddenly widened his eyes and glanced at Xia De, but he did not say the name of the "God Awakener".

"It was actually you who reported me?"

Dac Nisi stared at Xia De dead.

"It was you who wanted to use the Puppeteer's Script to kill me; I had no choice but to report you."

Xia De responded.

The hateful expression on Dac Nisi's face became more intense:

"It was you who found our location first; how could I let you live? Wait, something is wrong; my companion paid with his life because of a typo, causing you to encounter a level 0 relic with bad luck; how are you still alive?"

"Level 0 relic? So luck... level 0?"

The image of the monster in the pool flashed in front of Xia De's eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched:

"Level 0."

This was the first level 0 relic he saw in this world. Although the other party did not show any power, connecting it to the strange infection that could almost melt any soul, and the practice of calling itself 【Desire】, it made sense for the other party to be level 0.
