Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 8: Index Fugne
A strong murderous intent came from behind the corner, which made Ford tremble.

Having just been released from his demonic form, Ford was unable to enter his full combat state.

"Demonization" is the unique fighting style of the "Blood Disciple" who has just been promoted to the second level of [Red Lotus].

They "transform" themselves or objects closely related to themselves into monsters in order to obtain power that does not belong to them.

The source of this power is the belief among the followers of Red Lotus that "human bodies are weak" and thus pursue "inhuman power". They prayed to the will of the "Seat of Destruction" and indeed received a response.

……

Ford looked back in the direction he came from and saw the slender figure wrapped in the darkness was getting closer and closer.

Fold frowned and began to rub his throat with his fingers. Only in this way could he regain his composure and maintain his sanity.

Ford's "demonized" power comes from the "blood bats". If he can suck enough blood in a short period of time, he will have the strength to turn around and fight with Index.

However, in the current situation, it was impossible for Ford to ignore the danger behind and hunt alone. He could only hope that some poor creature would pass by in the middle of the night.

Just when Ford was at a loss, a flash of light suddenly appeared at the corner of the alley opposite him.

"Someone is coming?" Ford was stunned, and then a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

This is the prey that has walked into the trap!

At the same time, Ford felt that the source of danger approaching from behind seemed to have stopped at the moment the light flashed.

Index was also observing something.

Fold was unwilling to miss this rare opportunity. His eyes gradually turned red, and the nails on his fingers began to turn black, becoming thin, long and sharp.

His face also began to wrinkle, becoming extremely hideous and terrifying. Two fangs protruded from his mouth, reflecting a dark green metallic luster under the blue moonlight.

Index in the back seemed to sense Fold's change, but she just watched quietly without taking any action.

Then, Fold leaped up and hung upside down under the eaves like a bat, moving quickly towards the light.

Turning the corner, Ford saw a man holding a candle and their eyes met.

He was a young man, whose features could not be clearly seen in the shadows, but his identity could be roughly determined from the long priest robe he was wearing.

He is a priest of the "Glorious Church"...

But he is just an apprentice. According to the Red Lotus believers' understanding of Glory, they do have rules regarding "night patrol".

The corners of Fold's mouth curled slightly, and then his body flashed, turning into a flying shuttle and rushing straight towards the trainee priest.

In Fold's eyes, this young priest was a walking bag of food and blood.

But the young priest did not dodge, and Ford did not sense any fear or panic from him.

Fold was confused, but his movements did not slow down at all until he saw a ball of fire suddenly burst out from behind the priest!
No, to be precise it was... a red dog?
Fenrir rushed out from behind Luo Xiu and slammed into Ford at an extremely fast speed, knocking him down from mid-air!
- Swish!

Fenrir's sharp claws pierced Fold's lower abdomen first. Fold, who was already seriously injured, groaned and fell to the ground.

There was a long bloody scar on his abdomen, and blood was gushing out of it. Ford looked at the man and the dog in front of him with some confusion, and he was vaguely doubting his life.

"I was injured...by a dog?"

Ferde looked doubtful, and Fenrir made a "hiss...hiss" sound towards Ferde, and the flaming mane on his back stood up.

Luo Xiu quietly watched the battle in front of him and analyzed it secretly.

As soon as he entered the scene, he detected Ford.

I don’t know what he went through, but his health was cut in half to only 62 points!
And just now, Ferde was scratched by Fenrir's claws and suffered another 18 points of damage!
Seeing that Ford only has 44 points of health left, although he is not on the verge of death, his mobility will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Feld's eyes turned bloodshot, and he began to exude an almost crazy aura, staring at Luo Xiu's direction. As long as... as long as he could bite that man's neck... Feld dived again, ignoring Fenrir, and went straight to Luo Xiu's direction!
At this moment, Luo Xiu took out his right hand hidden in his robe and quickly aimed the musket at Ford's chest.

"What...what..." Ford had a bad feeling.

--boom!

At a very close distance, a dull gunshot exploded in the air, and golden fragments of light floated out, while at the same time blasting a big hole in Ford's chest.

[Use "Judgment Shot" to attack Fold Stel]

【Hit the vital point! 】

[Causes 44 points of "Holy Light" attribute basic damage]

[Attack on the vital point, causing 88 points of actual damage! ]

The excess damage directly reduced Fold’s health to zero!
Fold's body fell along a parabola and landed at Luo Xiu's feet.

A prompt for the kill reward popped up on the panel, as well as a prompt for a new task. Luo Xiu temporarily hid these prompts and continued to focus on the current battle.

Yes, fight.

He had a hunch that even though Ford had been killed, the battle was not over yet.

When Fold entered the arena, his health was only half, he must have had a fierce battle with someone before...

Did Fold win or lose...?
Luo Xiu always felt that when Ford attacked him, he was in a panic and fleeing like someone who was being chased by something.

Combined with what Ford said before, he would not actively choose to fight during the infiltration process, but would prioritize self-protection...

And being able to reduce Fold's health to half in this state...

Luo Xiu had reason to suspect that if the person on the other side was not a cheater like himself, then he should be a transcendent being with at least the second level of destiny!
As he thought about this, Luo Xiu became more cautious.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in front.

Fenrir and Luo Xiu were not in the same place, and the noise came from the direction of Fenrir.

——Ding-ling, ding-ling, dang-dang…

The pleasant sound is like that of wind chimes, floating gently in the night breeze.

Then, the originally gentle wind suddenly became sharp, making a whistling sound like metal scraping.

Then, a green light flew towards Luo Xiu's position at a rapid speed!
Fenrir's transformed red flame followed closely behind, but the green light came faster.

Although he had taken precautions against this, Luo Xiu didn't have time to pull the trigger!

- Swish!

Luo Xiu turned sideways quickly, but was still scratched on the back of his hand, leaving a bloody mark.

The scratch was very shallow, and the green light flashed away in this blow, and disappeared after a few leaps from Luo Xiu's side.

This made Luo Xiu a little stunned.

Could it be that the other party just wanted to say hello to him but didn't want to reveal his identity... ?
Luo Xiu indeed didn't see the attacker's appearance clearly, he just vaguely saw a very lively cat.

But the other party didn't know that this greeting-style attack launched towards Luo Xiu just happened to expose her identity!
[Received 1 damage from Index Fugne’s attack...]

Universal panel.

The attacker was none other than the defector from "Blood of Thorns", Index Fugne!
