Time seemed to have frozen.
At that moment, all the black-robed believers were stunned.
The two robust figures that jumped out from the seemingly empty air were definitely not mediocre fighters.
That was because ordinary bandits would not be able to get close to the white-robed elder!
The elder was wearing the robe of the Archbishop of the Holy Light.
However, the moment the two incomparably sharp daggers pierced his body, the energy that erupted from the old man's body like a raging sea was actually of the Shadow Attribute.
[Twilight Shock Wave] — This was the signature move of the High Priest of the Twilight Church!
Even though the two bandits had activated [Shadow Cloak] and temporarily hid in the shadow plane to avoid this attack, the powerful energy shock still injured them slightly.
No one would have thought that the heavily injured elder would be able to switch between the Shadow and Holy forms like Duke and cast a [Greater Healing Spell] in the blink of an eye.
It was a pity that his healing magic was interrupted by the third Thief who got close to him.
The elder's hood was unknowingly shaken off by this kick, revealing a face that was enough to shock countless people.
"It's really you! Beneditas! "
As the situation entered a stalemate, the three bandits stopped attacking and pulled down their hoods.
They were the van Cleef father and daughter, as well as the Blood Elf bandit, Valeera, who almost never left Varian's side.
At the same time, the walls of the entire basement shone brightly. Dozens of teleportation portals opened at the same time, and an entire team of Holy Knights rushed out from them.
Not only were these Holy Knights powerful professionals who were on the verge of reaching the Hero level, but they were also led by the Five Silver Saints, Tirion, Gavin Rad, Riadeline, Ireal, and Marad!
Almost all the most powerful clergymen in the entire Alliance were here.
Tirion's face was filled with the deepest sorrow. "Why is it you, Beneditas! We used to … "
Perhaps Beneditas did not give the leaders of the Alliance a strong sense of presence. He was undoubtedly one of the oldest members of the Alliance's Hero Squad.
As the disciple of the former Archbishop of the Holy Light Alonsos Faol, Beneditas was actually quite famous.
It was just that he didn't become a Paladin like Uther and the other so-called Priests who could fight and tank, so he wasn't as famous.
Once upon a time, as a devout priest, Benedictus had lived up to his beliefs.
In this life, during the darkest times of the Stormwind during the first and second Battle of the Dark Portal, he had pacified the wandering citizens and calmed the panic in their hearts. It could be said that Duque and Andoine were able to quickly assemble a battle-ready army thanks to Beneditas.
The people praised him as the "Incarnation of Holy Light", and he was the faith of countless people. Together with Duque, Andoine, and Turalyon, he held up the sky of hope for the people of Stormwind at that time.
After the end of World War II, Archbishop Faol passed away, Duque and Karazhan went missing, and King Laing Wrynn was assassinated. With his devout faith, he continued to give hope and courage to countless people of Stormwind, and watched over Varian's growth.
After Varian grew up, he relied on Beneditas as one of his most trusted advisers and life mentors. He would seek Beneditas' advice on many important matters. At the same time, although Beneditas' reputation among the people grew, he gradually kept a low profile, and began to participate less and less in the political affairs of Stormwind.
After Duque returned, he was transferred to the Hero Squad.
However, if Duque hadn't mentioned it, no one would have noticed that Beneditas had Shadow Force in his body. This elder, who had risen to the position of Archbishop of Stormwind with his seniority, had always claimed that he was only a pure Priest of the Holy Church.
Duque's seemingly unintentional teasing, "Oh, Beneditas, you've also practiced Shadow Force?" attracted the attention of MI7 in Stormwind.
Recently, there had been a dark force in Stormwind that was promoting the end of the world, and its leader was a powerful "Twilight Priest"!
When the leader of MI7, Matthias Shore, asked Duque about it, Duque sold Beneditas out.
Hence, the scene of a group of Kidney Knights surrounding the Twilight Believers.
The crowd parted, and Varian, who was holding the Divine Double-Edged Blade, arrived at the scene of confrontation with Broll Bearskin. Varian ignored the shivering believers, and looked directly at Beneditas, who was seriously injured on the altar.
"Tell me — Beneditas! When did you fall?! "
Beneditas' face turned pale. He knew that he might not be able to escape this time. If it were Varian and the other two, they might be able to break out of the encirclement by sacrificing some believers.
Since the van Cleef father and daughter were here, it meant that the operation had been approved by Duque.
Moreover, apart from Duque, there was no one else who could mobilize such a powerful lineup of Kidney Knights.
He turned his head and looked at the dark dome of the basement. There were several elemental auras in that direction that were so strong that anyone with a little elemental sensitivity could sense them.
Beneditas did not answer the question. "Duke Marcus, you're really good at scheming! You knew it from the start, and yet you let me work for nothing for so many years? "
The archbishop of Twilight Light was right.
Duque was just that shameless.
Who asked the Alliance Hero Squad to have a hard time finding a priest back then?
Now that Kalia and Sally Whitemane had grown up, and there was also Faol, the Elemental Emissary, Beneditas dared to jump out, and so did Duque.
Of course, with Beneditas's level, there was no need for Duque or those demigods to do anything.
In the basement, Varian was furious. "Answer me —"
"Answer? Why should I answer? Doesn't Duke Marcus still know how to use Shadow Energy? " Beneditas's old and kind face revealed a sinister and cunning look that did not match his temperament.
"Don't confuse them! We all know that Duque has fallen into Archimonde's trap, and that's why he has no choice but to use Shadow Energy! "Theon the Honest was furious.
Surging waves of Holy Light spread from under his feet, and several Twilight Light believers were bathed in flames. They screamed and fell to the ground.
"For the Ancient Gods —" Beneditas suddenly raised his hands, and all the Twilight Light believers began a desperate, suicidal charge towards Varian and the others …
There was no suspense in this battle.
Apart from Beneditas, there were only two people present who could fight. One was the elemental creature Aquillion, and the other was the blood elf bounty hunter Ashela Lemminkstar.
If they were left alone, they might cause a lot of damage. But in this situation where the big shots of the Alliance had teamed up, their resistance would only cause a small ripple before they were completely drowned by the Holy Light …
