Father Lawrence abruptly turned around. The sound came from the shadows of the church's side pillars.
Three people walked out of the shadows. It was the White Phoenix Squad.
"Who are you? Are you... the accomplices of the evil monster that attacked the door? "Father Lawrence shouted.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. "It's a bit surprising. It's actually not a leader." He was referring to Father Lawrence's template. To be safe, Bai Xiaowen deliberately used Insight, but the result of Insight was the same as Bai Xiaowen's Perception.
Father Lawrence of the Church of Light was actually only an Elite. Of course, his attributes were stronger than normal Elites. He was considered a rare Elite, but so what? Now that he was not a leader monster, it was very difficult for the White Phoenix Squad to see him.
As for the few normal Template believers, they were directly ignored.
"Forget it. An Elite can't do much. Let's hurry up and go to the Giant's Toe Tavern," Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui nodded at the same time. The three were just about to leave when Father Lawrence stopped them.
"Stop! You still haven't answered my question! " Father Lawrence flipped open the codex in his hand and quickly made a casting gesture. "One more step and I'll attack!"
Bai Xiaowen sighed and raised his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three Skeleton Sword Shieldbearers and the Skeleton Warrior surrounded Father Lawrence in a cross formation. The Skeleton Sword Shieldbearers used Shield Bash to interrupt the spell, while the Skeleton Warrior raised its greatsword and slashed down.
Father Lawrence clearly did not see the difference between the two sides. A High Template could sense the strength of a Low Template, but the reverse was very difficult.
Father Lawrence could not sense the strength of Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui, but he could sense the strength of Li Shuyi, a Level 6 Elite. He thought that the three of them were about the same level, so he ended up in a tragedy.
A few believers panicked as they watched Father Lawrence fall, blood flowing out. They screamed and ran back to the main hall of the church.
"Not good! The priest was killed! "
"Help!"
Bai Xiaowen was surprised to find a silver treasure chest on top of Father Lawrence's corpse. The Skeleton Warrior reached out and picked up the treasure chest. Bai Xiaowen immediately recalled it, and the silver treasure chest automatically moved into Bai Xiaowen's inventory.
"Let's go and open the treasure chest on the way," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen frowned and shook his head. "Let's go inside the church and take a look."
"Why?" Li Li Shuyi was confused.
"There's something wrong with the escape route of the believers," Bai Xiaowen said. "Normal people, after seeing that I can easily kill Father Lawrence, should try to run to the place where they can escape. This chapel has no back door, which is equivalent to a dead end. Aren't they looking for death if they run in? The most likely explanation is that … they subconsciously believe that the church has the power to protect them. "
Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that some people ran into the church to hide, and others followed the trend. However, Bai Xiaowen felt that it was acceptable to waste some time to find out what was wrong with the church. In his plan, the leader of the Church of Holy Light in the outskirts of the city was likely to be skilled in Holy Light magic. He had to take care of them first. The leader of the Giant's Toe tavern could come later.
As soon as the White Phoenix team stepped into the main hall of the church, a group of monks ran out from the side rooms without much effort.
These monks were generally dressed in hemp robes and barefoot. Their half-exposed chests had a bronze luster. They were a group of elite monks.
At the front of this group of elite monks were two men, one tall and one short. They held steel staffs in their hands. Their eyes shone faintly. They looked unusual. The psionic waves they emitted were more powerful. They were obviously leaders.
Bai Xiaowen was slightly surprised. He did not expect such a strong force to be hidden in this small church on Silver Star Island. Two Level-7 leaders and a group of elites!
Seeing Bai Xiaowen's accurate judgment, Li Shuyi was used to it. However, this was the first time Qiao Rui had seen it. The shock in her heart was indescribable. She looked at Bai Xiaowen with some admiration.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen had already seen through the information of the two monks and shared it with the team.
The tall monk was called Sangir. The short monk was called Pras.
Of the three combat skills of the elite monks, one was called "Ascetic Body." Almost every monk had it. It was a rather powerful defensive skill. The other skills differed from person to person. Some were healing and some were melee attacks. However, Bai Xiaowen noticed that they did not have any magic attack abilities. Looking at the steel staffs in their hands, he knew that they were a group of rough gays.
As for the two leaders, Sangir and Pras, they were, of course, much stronger than these elite monks. First of all, they had the enhanced version of Ascetic Body.
Sangir was a strength-type melee profession, while Pras was an agility-type. If they were paired with Father Lawrence, a spiritual-type rare elite, the Church of Light would definitely be a tough nut to crack.
"Intruder! You will pay for your crimes! "
Since their own Father Lawrence had already been killed, this group of ascetics did not say much. After the tall and burly Sangir cursed out loud, he immediately leaped into the air and crashed into the White Phoenix party like a deity descending from the heavens!
Combat skill — Leap of Faith!
As Bai Xiaowen had foreseen this in advance, the three of them split up in time and were not directly stepped on by the Leap of Faith. However, after Sangir landed, the power of light burst forth from his body. A circle of light spread out and slowed the three of them at the same time.
Sangir waved his steel staff and activated Divine Strike. A layer of light wandered on the surface of the steel staff. This skill could deal additional holy damage in addition to physical damage! It was the nemesis of undead creatures.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and summoned the Wrath Claw. Against an enemy with holy damage, he could only rely on the Wrath Claw as the main force and summon other creatures to fight together.
The Wrath Claw had less than 30 points of Strength. It could not fight Sangir head-on. Fortunately, its 44 points of Agility was higher than Sangir. Using guerilla tactics, with Qiao Rui's Soul Rhythm and the Necromancer's lightning spell support, there was no danger for the time being.
The Butcher took on the encirclement of the Elite Ascetics. Although some of the Elite Ascetics also had Holy attribute damage similar to "Divine Strike," they were basically melee fighters, which meant that the Butcher's Rotting Toxin would reduce their damage.
The only problem was that these Monks were too tough. If he could not kill them quickly and trigger the Butcher's Slaughterhouse passive, the Butcher's HP would not be replenished. Fortunately, the Butcher's Constitution was now as high as 48 points, and his HP was close to a thousand. He had no problem holding on for a while.
Most of Bai Xiaowen's attention was focused on the other leader of the Monks — the short Pras.
After the battle broke out, Pras was blocked by two skeletal sword-shielders. Weakened by Soul Rhythm, Pras, whose Strength was not high to begin with, did not have an advantage over the skeletal sword-shielders.
However, Pras's Agility still had an overwhelming advantage. He separated his hands, and the steel staff in his hand suddenly split into two. A sharp blade popped out from the tip and turned into two strangely shaped long straight knives.
The straight knives clashed with the scimitars of the skeletal sword-shielders, producing a sharp sound. Then, Pras used the recoil force to attack the skeletal sword-shielders' lower body.
Combat skill — Radiant Blade Slash!
The sound of the air being torn apart was like silk. Multiple consecutive holy damage slashes directly cut off the skeletal legs of the two skeletal sword-shielders! Although the damage was not enough to kill the skeletal sword-shielders, it made the two summoned creatures lose their mobility and their combat ability was basically zero.
Pras stepped forward and disappeared in place as if he had teleported. The next second, he crossed a distance of seven to eight meters and appeared beside the Wrath Claw. The two straight knives, one horizontal and one vertical, drew two cross lights!
Combat skill — Holy Cross Slash!
Pras's attack was very fast. Bai Xiaowen knew that he was going to use this move, but he did not have time to control the Wrath Claw to dodge and was hit directly.
A miserable cross-shaped wound appeared on the side of the Wrath Claw. Blood flowed out, but it was evaporated by the purifying power of light. It had taken an extremely high amount of damage. The actual damage of this attack was close to two hundred points! Considering that Pras still had the stacks of Weakness on him, this boss's damage output was really shocking.
Fortunately, the Wrath Claw had Life Sharing to share the damage. Not only did the injury not cause its health to drop to the critical level, but it also made it even more berserk. Its eyes were filled with a bloody aura! Bite and Rend were continuously used, but they did not care about Pras. Their target was still the strength-type boss, Sangir.
A well-timed Lightning Strike interrupted Sangir's parry, causing him to take the damage of these two small skills. Rend even triggered a critical hit, causing severe bleeding! Sangir roared in pain. Immediately, an elite monk raised his hand and tried to cast a long-range healing divine spell.
However, the elite monk had just raised his hand when he was caught in a surprise by the Undead Fiend Arcane Master's Path of Ghosts and entered a stunned state.
Qiao Rui withdrew his thoughts of activating Mind Cage and was amazed. Bai Xiaowen's mental power controlled the entire situation and could always use the appropriate skills at the crucial moment. It made a originally complicated battle become abnormally simple.
Pras saw that the Wrath Claw was ignoring him. He snorted heavily and slashed out with his two blades like snowflakes. He had already seen that this giant wolf was the key to the battle. Without it holding back, Sangir could be freed.
However, Pras' attack was halfway through when a chill came from the back of his head. He stopped abruptly and rolled to the side.
Whoosh, a spiritual spear missed and did not lose momentum. Instead, it stabbed towards the Wrath Claw.
Originally, when this kind of attack missed, the attacker would be temporarily stunned. In the style of Wuxia, it was a different matter. However, the attacker was Delifa, so it was a different matter. The Soulcatcher Banshee flapped her wings and the spiritual spear spun 180 degrees in the air. The shaft of the spear lightly tapped the Wrath Claw's back.
The strength of this tap was very light and would only cause insignificant single-digit damage. However, Delifa only needed a little bit of leverage to have room to maneuver. She flapped her wings and pointed the spiritual spear at Pras again. It whistled towards the opponent's throat.
Pras was shocked. Just from this reaction, he could tell that the banshee in front of him was a strong enemy. Although she only had the aura of an elite template. He did not dodge. A layer of bronze suddenly covered the surface of his body. As his two blades spun, a blazing Holy Storm swept out.
Delifa was at a disadvantage because her skills were inferior. The spiritual spear accurately hit Pras' throat, but because the opponent had activated the active effect of the Body of Penance, the damage was greatly reduced and the damage was negligible. However, Delifa was swept up in the Holy Storm and kept receiving waves of Holy damage with the Exorcism bonus.
Boom!
The Skeleton Warrior waved its greatsword and rushed forward. The Whirlwind Slash forced Pras back! Delifa was finally able to get away, but she was not afraid at all. She flapped her wings and chased after him. The spiritual spear stabbed out again and surrounded Pras with the Skeleton Warrior.
The Skeleton Warrior's strength was enough to make Pras dodge and hit, and Delifa restrained it in terms of skills. During the cooldown period of the Holy Storm skill, Pras was completely unable to get away and was completely frozen.
On the other side of the battlefield, Li Shuyi weaved through the crowd like a fairy. She specifically targeted the enemies whose Resistance and HP had been reduced by the Butcher's Rotten Poison. She killed one of them with just two or three strikes. She even triggered a critical hit + Vital Strike to instantly kill them. The Butcher's Slaughterhouse passive was triggered continuously, and his HP, which had dropped to half, slowly rose.
After the elite monks fell one after another, the two monks leaders could not escape the fate of being surrounded and killed one after another, leaving only two golden treasure chests.
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief. "Done! Without this group of ascetics disrupting the situation, the siege would be much easier to fight. Let's leave quickly before the Silverstar City's city guards arrive. "
This was also Bai Xiaowen's reasonable plan for the night attack. They would first go to the inner city to cause trouble, then immediately go to the outer city after killing the Cross Flower commander, Murat, and then destroy the Church of Light. At this time, the city guards' patrols were rushing to Murat's mansion in the inner city. It would be too late by the time they received news of the Church of Light.
As soon as the White Phoenix team left the Church of Light, there were sounds of footsteps on the street. Teams of Silverstar City soldiers ran across the street.
The three of them hid in a corner and had a mental shield, so they were not discovered.
"The city guards have such fast reaction speed …"
Bai Xiaowen rubbed his temples tiredly and said in the team channel, "Just as I thought, it seems that the half-giant Murat we killed is only a nominal commander in Aldington's army. The real commander is someone else. Lord Aldington isn't a complete lunatic. "
"Are we still going to the tavern now?" Li Shuyi asked.
