Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 458 "Alienated Demon" Baccard (5k6)

The "alien demon" Barkkad Frederick, with his dark gold and crimson dragon eyes flashing with a sharp light, stared straight ahead, at the figure of the "Winter General" Lansas Thorn, who belonged to the [Supreme], on the plain in front of Fafnir City.

Nearly two hours had passed since the expeditionary force launched its fierce attack on Fafnir City.

There is only one "Executioner" named Baccard stationed here, resisting the fierce attacks of the "Winter General" Lansas and his winter knights. The southeast gate of Fafnir City still stands until now. It can be said that Baccard has tried his best.

However, the attack from the "Winter General" Lansas was too fierce. The entire Snowd Expeditionary Force was under the command of Lansas alone, and Baccard had to face the powerful military force of the entire Snowd Expeditionary Force, as well as the Fangbei Academy warlocks belonging to the "Red Maple City Expeditionary Force".

The tide of magical beasts controlled by the "alien demon" Bakad is still fighting with the expeditionary forces on the Dragon Skeleton Plain, but their numbers are decreasing rapidly.

Every Winter Knight is the embodiment of frost - the "Throne Knights" trained by Lansas himself, each of them bursts out a freezing cold ice storm, sweeping away the tide of Warcraft they encounter!
The movements of those monsters caught in the fierce ice storm became slow. Before they could get close to the throne knights and pierce their armor and tear their flesh with their claws and fangs, they would be frozen into ice by the horrible frost storm and then smashed to pieces by the sharp sword blades!
"..."

In Fafnir City, the only "executioner" on the city wall, the "alien demon" of Red Lotus, Barkkad Frederick, was watching this scene with trembling pupils.

Under Baccard's control, the wild beasts he "raised" did inflict considerable damage to the Snowd Expeditionary Force, but a battlefield is a battlefield - those monsters on the plains were almost killed, and if they didn't get enough support, it would only be a matter of time before the gates of Fafnir City were breached!

And for Baccard, the fatal threat from the expeditionary force is not only from those winter knights—

The "sorcerers" from the Fangbei Courtyard of Red Maple City who were instructed by "Thunder General" Albert to stay on the battlefield and cooperate with General Lansas in the siege - for Baccard, they are a greater threat!

The group of alchemists and rune sorcerers, led by the president and vice president of Fangbei Academy, Irvan and Eureka, have deployed a large number of war puppets onto the battlefield with the support of the Snowd Expeditionary Force!

Each warlock controls three to five puppets ranging from "dangerous" to "mad". On the entire Dragon Skeleton battlefield, thousands of puppets are slaughtering the monsters on the battlefield without mercy and following orders.

And every time a magic puppet is turned into scrap metal by the beast tide, a new puppet will be replaced.

The warlocks of Fangbei Academy have indeed accumulated a considerable amount of basic materials through the expedition, and therefore have made a huge number of puppets for use in the battlefield. The Battle of Fafnir City is the final decisive battle of this expedition, and the two deans, Irvan and Eureka, have not cared about any losses.

There was even a puppet on the battlefield that was the strongest among all puppets and could crush all the monsters - the Dragon Hunter Los! The puppet that Rockland had put his soul into was also brought to the battlefield. The two deans of Fangbei Academy used Los as the core of the puppet group on the battlefield.

The current "Dragon Hunter" Rocklan's puppet mechanisms have undergone a major upgrade, and their strength has reached "Natural Disaster +", and it is estimated that he is only one step away from reaching the "Destruction" level.

In addition to the puppets, Fangbeiyuan also released two other bigger trump cards - the red dragons that were previously snatched from the "Silver-blooded Dragonborn" Quilton, Alvan has completely released them!

The more than fifty flaming red dragons implanted with rune colonization armor were circling in the sky, and from time to time they spewed out streams of blazing dragon flames toward the places where monsters were gathering in large numbers on the plains, burning all the monsters there into ashes!
There are also "Abyss Beasts" implanted with control cores - through continuous and in-depth research on the earliest wave of Abyss Beasts, the "Blood Corpse Hyenas", Fangbeiyuan has truly mastered the runes that can stably control the "Distortion" and lower Abyss Beasts.

In the eight "wounds" where Abyss Beasts kept pouring out of Latama City, the warlocks of Fangbei Academy had already captured more than 3,000 Abyss Beasts of "Twisted" and lower levels by issuing a large number of commissions to the "Adventers". More than 600 of them were still alive after the control cores were implanted in them, and they were all thrown into the battlefield at this time!

"--roar!!!!!"

Deafening roars continued to be heard from the Dragon Skeleton Plain.

The fierce roars overlapped and collided with each other, stirring the air on the battlefield, and making a heart-pounding sound of breaking through the air!

The smell of blood had already completely permeated and dissipated at this time, and the entire Dragon Skeleton Plain was already filled with corpses.

"..."

Baccard was still trying desperately to maintain control over the monsters, but the situation on the battlefield was irreversibly developing in the worst direction, and he was feeling a little overwhelmed.

Until now, the "Shadow Strategist" Koros, who was supposed to appear in the eastern part of Fafnir City and share half of the pressure of defending the city, has not appeared yet. Baccard no longer expects him to show up.

It wasn't just Kolos, even the "Elemental Bishop" Euan Burroughs and the "Nightmare Witch" Samantha Carter didn't show up. This situation could be considered quite abnormal!
In Baccard's mind, he was only thinking about one question now -

What if the "Chief Executioner"... "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir Rochester comes back and finds that Fafnir City has fallen?
It was foreseeable that Lord Fafnir would be furious and give these "executioners" stationed in Fafnir City a very severe punishment -

Although according to the laws promulgated by the Dark Lord, the "Chief Executioner" has the power to punish the "Executioner" but not the power of life and death, the "punishment" of Lord Fafnir will definitely make his life worse than death!
"..."

Barcard was indeed afraid of Fafnir.

That is the fear that has been engraved into the soul and flows in the blood.

Lord Fafnir, the "Dragon of Destruction", is also a "Dragonborn", and a "Dragonborn" of quite a high rank. The blood flowing in his body is the blood of ancient dragons that is closer to the origin, and it does have a very strong suppression on the dragon blood flowing in Baccard's body.

And in Baccard's heart, he never doubted his loyalty to the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir Rochester.

Perhaps that was also due to obedience in his "bloodline". Baccard thought that as a fellow dragon, perhaps Lord Fafnir's "punishment" would be gentler on him.

"..."

As he was thinking about this, his pupils that were staring at the battlefield suddenly shrank. He saw that the "Winter" general Lansas was also looking at him, and Lansas' right hand was raised high, with an icy lance condensed in his palm!
——Whoosh!

Lansas, the "Winter", swung his right arm violently, and the huge lance emitting a cold breath shot towards the wall of Fafnir City!
In the path where the terrifying lance was shooting at a rapid speed, even the air seemed to be frozen by the extremely cold air;
At the same time, the huge ice spear kept splitting in mid-air, splitting into dozens of smaller but sharper and more fierce ice spears!

"--Roar!!!"

Baccard roared, opened his arms and raised them high to the sky, all the dragon scales on his body opened up, and a surging and hot breath burst out from his whole body!

The spiritual energy wave began to burn fiercely, and soon turned into a dense flame that enveloped Baccard's body!

--boom! ! !

The next moment, dozens of ice spears shot out by Lansas, which split along the path, hit Baccard's outer flames heavily!
Those ice spears half opened and half melted, and Baccard could clearly feel that the temperature around him dropped a lot in an instant!
The flames on his body swayed violently and were almost extinguished. His body was not pierced, but it was indeed quite dangerous.

In Baccard's eyes, he had seen from afar the "Winter" General Lansas on the battlefield, and his eyes seemed to narrow slightly.

The "Winter" Lansas then raised his right hand and continued to condense a new frost lance. Baccard could clearly feel that the icy aura contained in the ice lance condensed by Lansas this time was more intense and the destructive power must be more amazing!
The previous attack was most likely just a test, Baccard thought, while violently urging the flames on his body to create a denser and hotter "barrier".

But before that, alarm bells suddenly rang in his heart——

Golden light suddenly appeared at the edge of the vision of his two dragon pupils, and Baccard could clearly feel that there was an extremely surging spiritual surge behind him approaching him rapidly!

That is the spirituality of [Glory]!
Baccard didn't need to turn around to look, he knew the source of the surging spiritual power rushing towards him.

Before that, another "Thunder" general of the Supreme, Albert Perez, led the Red Maple City Expeditionary Force into the wide-open east gate, and another "Bishop" also followed into the city of Fafnir. The spiritual aura coming from behind was exactly the same as what Baccard had felt before, the aura belonging to that "Bishop" Rossu Carlos!
The terrifying surge of spiritual power made Baccard feel his hair stand on end, and the dragon scales all over his body trembled finely, making a rustling sound!
He knew something was coming - almost as an instinctive reaction, Baccard grabbed his neck with his right hand, and the sharp dragon claws pierced into his neck, from which bright red dragon blood gushed out!

"——The Throne of Destruction!"

"——I offer my blood and flesh..."

"--throw me into your furnace, and let me burn,"

"——I crave this God-given suffering, which will make my flesh and blood like that of God!"

"..."

——Buzz!!!

The "alienated demon" Bakad Frederick, he activated the power of [Red Lotus] at almost the fastest speed!

——【Red Lotus】Level I authority, forged by the flesh and blood of God!
This authority was not rare among the saints of Red Lotus. When Baccard finished chanting this authority, blood suddenly gushed out from the wound on his neck, bathing his entire body from top to bottom!
Then, along with the flames that had originally spread from the inside out, the burning flames became more intense and hotter, and the color became more scarlet!
And in the next moment,
——BOOM!!!!!! The fierce attack from behind hit Baccard's back heavily!

It was a terrifying slash that flashed with crimson light, and the burst of crimson light directly engulfed Baccard's body!

——That is "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash"!
……

"Bishop" Luo Xiu has arrived.

He rode on the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus, and the moment he quickly approached Baccard within attack distance, he raised the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and slashed at Baccard with the first fierce light surge!

But Baccard would actually activate the authority of "God-cast Flesh and Blood" the first moment he was hit by the "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash". This was something Luo Xiu had not anticipated in advance. His eyes, which penetrated the light surge and stared at Baccard's figure, narrowed involuntarily.

Baccard also possesses the authority of "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" - at least it is not a loss for him to hand over this authority in exchange for a "Bite of the Ancient Dragon".

Luo Xiu stared at him, and the moment he slashed "Ancient Dragon's Bite" at Baccard, he threw a panel detection at him -

His initial HP was over 260,000, but after using the power of "God-cast Flesh and Blood" just now, his HP dropped by over 60,000 in an instant.

That was probably the blood consumption that activated the initial maintenance time of "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" - Luo Xiu could not see the level of the "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" authority skill that Baccard mastered, but he estimated that the maintenance time of this authority and "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" state opened by Baccard was also about five seconds.

And the next moment, a bright blue light suddenly burst out from the other side of the city wall!

--boom!!!!!

The surge of light from "General Winter" Lansas also arrived the moment Baccard used the authority of "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" and exploded quickly!
The entire city wall where Baccard was located was suddenly frozen by the biting frost, and a thick layer of ice condensed on the surface. From a distance, it looked like a long glacier.

But in the state of "God-made flesh and blood", Baccard was not affected.

The blazing flames that radiated from his body from the inside out quickly melted all the ice and frost surrounding him—"God-cast flesh and blood" protected him from the two terrifying attacks coming from behind and in front!

Luo Xiu was also watching this scene.

This can be regarded as Baccard showing his excellent combat reflexes - for Luo Xiu, the higher the strength of the "alien demon" Baccard, the greater the benefit to him.

This made him feel excited, but the battle continued!
The next moment, Luo Xiu saw the "alien demon" Baccard. He turned his head at the same time, and his dragon eyes filled with sharp murderous intent stared straight at him!
There was a hint of intimidation and deterrence in his pupils, and he seemed to be making a decision - the "bishop" in the back and the "general" in the front had surrounded him, and he was deciding which of the two enemy leaders to deal with first.

The "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" and the frost surge blasted by Lansas both hit Baccard heavily, and were both invalidated by Baccard's authority of "God-Forged Flesh and Blood". The duration of this authority has also consumed three seconds.

Although Baccard had made the decision as quickly as possible and turned to face the direction of "Bishop" Luo Xiu, intending to deal with the "Bishop" behind him who looked more vulnerable first, the time he had to maintain the "God-cast Flesh and Blood" was almost exhausted.

And at the moment when Baccard's "God-cast Flesh and Blood" authority state disappeared, Luo Xiu had already raised the scepter at the same time, and the tip of the Dragon Breath Scepter instantly burst out with a terrifying deep red light!

——"The Vicious Breath of the Ancient Dragon"!
--boom!!!!!

In a flash, the terrifying dragon flame came like a wave, completely engulfing Baccard's figure in the crimson light again!
This time, without the protection of "God-cast Flesh and Blood", Baccard suffered a huge amount of damage!
"--Roar!!!"

He roared in rage, and the flames that emanated from his body were dispersed, and he was burned by the raging flames from the outside, causing clumps of black smoke. His few more fragile dragon scales began to melt due to the high temperature, and his skin was burned with scorch marks.

He was injured, seriously injured - he almost completely endured the burning of the "Ancient Dragon's Breath", and his health dropped by more than 50,000!
While Baccard was being burned by the dragon's flame,

Even under Baccard's shocked and angry gaze, Luo Xiu's lips moved and he whispered the same chant as Baccard had before!
"——The Throne of Destruction!"

"——I offer my blood and flesh..."

"--throw me into your furnace, and let me burn,"

"——I crave this God-given suffering, which will make my flesh and blood like that of God!"

"..."

- Om!

Luo Xiu used the same authority that Baccard used before!

——The authority of “God cast in flesh and blood”!

In Baccard's eyes, he saw layers of blood mist floating out of the body of the "bishop" in front of him. The blood mist then burned and formed flames, which enveloped the outline of Luo Xiu's body!

The expression on his face also changed from shock and anger to confusion and surprise.

Barkad undoubtedly recognized this authority.
Although Baccard could not hear clearly what the "bishop" was chanting amidst the huge explosions, he was still able to confirm that the "bishop" was using the authority of the "God of Flesh and Blood"!

"Why did you—"

He was about to question, but Luo Xiu had already raised the magic sword in his left hand, and a scorching, deep red light burst out from the blade!

--boom!!!!!

A terrifying surge of light burst out from the sword blade, transforming into a surging slashing wave, exploding at Baccard's position!

——Another “Ancient Dragon’s Devouring Slash”!
The use of "God-forged Flesh and Blood" is just to quickly consume blood volume, so as to quickly stack the layers of "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul"!

For Luo Xiu, quickly launching a new round of bursts of the inherent skills of the two ancient dragon weapons is more important than holding back to save his life in the current situation.

There is indeed nothing in the current Fafnir City that can threaten his safety anymore - in this case, the most important goal is to beat Baccard to the brink of death as quickly as possible and complete the transformation.

“——Ugh!!!!”

Barcade howled miserably.

Baccard was burned again by the "Ancient Dragon's Bite". The dragon scales on his body turned red as if they were burned. The burn scars spread more and more, almost burning one-third of his skin!
Under the horrific burning, even Baccard couldn't stand steadily and staggered back a few steps.

Perhaps it was because he felt the terrifying firepower from the "Bishop", which made the expression on Baccard's face become more ferocious. He wanted to do something, but Luo Xiu, riding on the "Golden Pegasus", had already galloped to his front!

Luo Xiu raised the scepter in his hand again, and the tip of the scepter, which was flashing with crimson light, was aimed at him!

--boom!!!!!

Without giving Baccard even half a second to react, the terrifying scarlet light burst out again from the [Dragon Breath Scepter] in Luo Xiu's hand!

As soon as Baccard emerged from the red flames, he was completely engulfed by the crimson again.

This time, facing a wave of horrific impact, Baccard's body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Behind him was a mountain hanging in the air——

When he took the last step backwards, he stepped on empty air and his body fell straight down from the cliff like a giant bird with broken wings!
