As the Black Death Apostles walked forward, they did not notice that their three companions at the back had disappeared silently, then reappeared silently.
Naturally, they were replaced by Chen Rui and the others. Chen Rui had the Camouflage skill to change at will, and Rolla was even more skilled at shapeshifting. She added a shapeshifting spell on Paglio, so he did not even need to change into a cloak. As for Dodo, shapeshifting was the Sincere Handsome Sir's ability to earn a living, needless to say. However, being afraid of death was also the Sincere Handsome Sir's attribute, so Dodo did not become the fourth "Black Death Apostle". Instead, he turned into a sword and appeared in the Mistress' hand. The slime could clearly feel the power of the Mistress after leveling up. It seemed safer than staying by his master's side.
The three of them followed the team and walked forward. Along the way, there was a path made of corpses. The Black Death Apostles seemed to be used to it. Based on Chen Rui's understanding of the mysterious church, these Black Death Apostles should be the most loyal and fanatical core members. Their hands were all stained with blood.
After walking through a few oppressive corpse paths, the space in front suddenly opened up. This was a huge place, like a huge palace, as big as a few track fields. As the space was too big, the light was not particularly strong. They could vaguely see cave-like buildings in the distance, like murals. There were also some elevators and other equipment.
This should be the grand underground world created by the Cave Dwarves, which was the real Golden Radiance Underground Palace.
However, the current Golden Radiance Underground Palace had become a real hell on earth.
The corpse paths on the ground continued to the front, but they were no longer flat. Instead, they were piled up with strangely shaped bone towers. These bone towers were arranged according to a special pattern, emitting a strong aura of death and destruction.
The way they were arranged should be some kind of magic circle that could greatly increase the aura of death and destruction. The further they walked, the thicker the aura. Some of the bone towers seemed to be unfinished. Many Black Death Apostles were using a special tool to pour and build. The material was naturally a large number of corpses. Many of the corpses had obviously died not too long ago.
Chen Rui also found a space device similar to a teleportation circle. It seemed that the Black Death Apostles used the space door to travel to this main altar and transport the corpses.
At the center of the aura of the bone towers was a huge building that was about three stories tall. To be more precise, it was a grand altar.
There were no special bones or blood within the range of the altar, but the evil breath was even more terrifying. Even Chen Rui and others were secretly palpitating, especially the "sword" in Zola's hand. She was trembling slightly in fear.
The team stopped. The leader, a golden-masked Black Death Apostle walked to the bone tower closest to the altar and bowed to a man in a black robe. "Sir, we did not find any intruders."
This Lord Chi was wearing a dark gold mask and a long robe inlaid with golden threads. On the stairs of the altar far away, there were two similarly dressed dark gold masked men. These masks and robes belonged to the Intermediate and Advanced Protectors of the mysterious church, the "Emissaries of Destruction."
The protectors of the Mysterious Church were equivalent to the thugs of the Church of Light's Inquisition. In descending order, they were the Great Destroyer Emissary, Destroyer Emissary, Great Guardian, Guardian, and Protector. When Shura was at the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, he was conferred the title of Great Guardian. It could be seen that the higher-level Destruction Apostle should be a super powerhouse.
In Chen Rui's [Analytical Eyes], the information of this "Sir Chi" had appeared. The race was human, and there was a note at the end, Soul Variation. The comprehensive strength assessment reached SS, which was the strength of the middle stage of the kingdom. In the analyzed attributes, there was indeed the expected "Blood Sacrifice Soul". It seemed that he was a super human powerhouse who was eroded by the power of the abyss.
"You didn't find anything?" Sir Chi was slightly startled. "My sensing talent has been integrated with the protection of the entire main altar. It can't be wrong. Could it be that the intruder this time is very strong and is hiding?"
"You're wrong, Chi." A low voice came from the top of the altar. A figure appeared in sight. It was a man in a red robe with a blood-red mask on his face.
The red mask could only be worn by the "civil servants" above the archbishop. There was also a golden diamond-shaped crystal on the forehead of this figure's blood-red mask. This meant that his identity was not simple – a bishop second only to the pope!
"Your Holiness Thomas!" Chi Yaoyao bowed.
Thomas's gaze fell on where Chen Rui and the others were. "The enemy didn't hide. They followed us in!"
As soon as he said this, the Black Death Apostles all surrounded them. The light of the altar flashed, and the group of Black Death Apostles that came in was instantly covered in a faint bloody light. Only Chen Rui and the others did not have anything on them.
Now that their identity was exposed, Chen Rui and the others did not hide anymore. They immediately returned to their original appearances, and the surrounding Black Death Apostles all pounced on them.
Chen Rui stomped his foot, and the enormous power that contained the peak of the kingdom spread out. With the three of them as the center, all the Black Death Apostles within a range of tens of meters were annihilated. These people were all guilty of the most heinous crimes. They definitely deserved to die, so Chen Rui did not have any concerns.
Chen Rui noticed that although his stomp, which contained the power of the kingdom, had destroyed those normal Black Death Apostles, the range of the power was smaller than expected. Furthermore, the ground did not even tremble, and the bone towers nearby were not affected at all.
It seemed that there was something strange about the altar and the bone towers. The entire underground palace was like a sturdy whole, and normal power could not shake it at all.
Even so, the peak of the kingdom aura that this attack emitted was enough to make Chi feel as if he was facing a great enemy. He immediately called out to the other two Destruction Apostles. "Blood Eagle! Wyvern! "
The Black Death Apostles usually did not use their real names. Most of them used fake names or codenames, including the mysterious Bishop "Thomas".
The three Destruction Apostles instantly surrounded Chen Rui and the others in a triangular formation. A gentle light appeared on Rolla's fingertip and condensed into a small ball of light. The ball of light suddenly exploded.
At the same time, the corpses of the three Emissaries of Destruction exploded. Blood splattered everywhere as their bodies fell to the ground. This scene caused Thomas, who was on the altar, to be greatly shocked. Three Emissaries of Destruction at the level of a Divine Nation had actually been instantly killed!
That woman … had at least the power of a Demigod!
Thomas did not dare to be careless. He quickly chanted the language of the Abyss, and the bodies of the Black Death Apostles in the underground palace exploded one by one. As soon as the blood fell to the ground, it was absorbed by the bone towers nearby. The bone towers emitted a strange mist that was faintly red. Chen Rui and the others felt a special pressure at the same time, as if something heavy had fallen on their hearts. The circulation of power became more and more difficult, and even breathing became slightly difficult.
Rolla waved her hand at Thomas, and translucent cracks instantly appeared around the altar, as if some special protective wall had been damaged.
Rolla immediately increased the output of power. The cracks spread quickly, and it looked like it was about to collapse. At this moment, a pillar rose from the altar. At the top of the pillar was a translucent round cover, and in the round cover was an item that emitted a yellow light. As soon as this pillar appeared, the protective power immediately stabilized. No matter how much power Rolla exerted, she could not destroy the defense of the altar.
"Earth's origin …" Rolla stared at the item in the round cover and began to test the structure of this defensive power, "Earth's origin fragment!"
Chen Rui's eyes lit up. That is the origin fragment that Earth Elemental King Moore needs the most!
"No matter who you are, if you dare to break in here, there is only a dead end!" Although Thomas was surprised by Rolla's strength and insight, he did not hesitate or fear at all. He began to chant the Abyss incantation again. The bloody mist of the bone tower became thicker, and the entire main altar shone with a bloody glow. The pressure in everyone's heart became stronger.
Under Dodo's horrified gaze, the corpses of the 3 Destruction Messengers that were killed by Rolla just now actually began to automatically assemble and restore themselves.
Chen Rui instinctively had an ominous premonition. He immediately turned his hand into a blade shape, and hundreds of [Aura Blade]'s sharp qi flew toward the 3 Destroyers in an instant. However, when this sharp qi that was enough to cut metal touched the Destruction Messenger's corpse, it disappeared without a trace as if it flew into another space. The same was true for the poison attack that Paglio subsequently cast.
Immediately afterward, the Destruction Messenger's body burned with a blood-red flame. The flame converged into a strange flower shape, then it went into the corpse.
The corpse began to swell, and the cloak and mask burst. The muscle texture distorted horribly. Bone spurs protruded out, and the palms also mutated into sharp claws. Soon, 3 tall and hideous crimson monsters appeared in the sight of Chen Rui and others.
Race: Abyss Soul Transformation (remaining time: 2 hours and 59 minutes)
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: SSS
Physique: SSS, Strength: SSS +, Spirit: SSS-, Speed: SSS-.
[Analysis]: Dominator's Will, Strength, Self-healing, Damage Amplification.
Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous!
Demi-God! And its strength had reached the peak of the Demi-God level! Although this transformation had a time limit, and it was estimated that it would completely dissipate once the time was up, there was a time limit of three hours! If one's strength was weaker, they would be torn apart in three seconds.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked. He did not expect the main altar to be able to create such terrifying monsters!
After the monsters were formed, the bloody light of the main altar disappeared, and the bloody mist of the bone towers became much thinner. The pressure in everyone's hearts was slightly reduced, and it seemed that more than half of the stored power had been drained. It turned out that this mutation was not without a price. It would consume a considerable amount of the "energy" of the entire altar.
Chen Rui's mind was racing. The battle environment here was very disadvantageous to his side. It was difficult to exert the strongest combat power, and the consumption of power would be doubled. It would be quite difficult to defeat these three monsters with Lord's Will head-on. The most troublesome thing was that the power of the main altar was extremely strange. With Archbishop Thomas around, it was unknown if more monsters would be created.
The key was to directly destroy the main altar and seize the Earth Source Fragment.
"I have a way to break the defense of this Earth Source Fragment! But I need time! And those bone towers are the key! Destroy them first! "Rolla, who had been testing the defensive power of the altar in front, spoke up.
"Okay! Leave these three monsters to me! Paglio, go destroy those bone towers! Dodo and Rolla, try to destroy the main altar! "
Chen Rui only had time to say this sentence, and the three monsters had already rushed over with a terrifying roar.
In the next second, crimson starlight shrouded the three terrifying Abyss Soul Transformations.
