Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 82 Frontal Infiltration
Luo Xiu's eyes swept across the task panel again.

[Trigger hidden tasks]

[Hidden Mission: The End of Wandering (Difficult Difficulty)]

[Recommended level: lv.20, triple destiny and above]

[Task type: series of tasks]

[Mission description: You hold the "Crown Fragment of King Isol" and are close to the Homogenous Seal. You who hold the "Crown Fragment" are considered a "usurper", and the Knights who protect the country in the mausoleum are awakening one after another.]

[Mission Objective 1: Find the "Ancient Spirit" - "Wandering Rider" Miklos]

[Mission Objective 2: Defeat "Wandering Rider" Miklos]

[Completion Reward: Basic Experience +4800, Miklos's Legacy...]

【…】

Luo Xiu was able to confirm that this was indeed a hidden task that would be triggered by the same seal as the "Fragment of King Isol's Crown".

During this period of time, since the "Ancient Hermitage" was attracted by the seal of the "ancient existence", it is very likely that they came here for this "Lost Knight's Tomb".

"...Then I'm afraid their efforts will be in vain." Luo Xiu pondered.

Because - this is an ancient existence awakened by "resonance", not a real loosening of the seal.

The main reason for the "awakening" of the seal was himself - according to Luo Xiu's experience, in this situation, only by holding some kind of "specific" credentials can one follow the instructions and enter the seal.

If we only rely on the scattered aura to search, then the probability of actually finding the seal is like looking for a needle in a haystack...

Even if we find it, it would be quite troublesome to figure out how to get inside the seal.

According to what Captain Anthony said before, the "Ancient Hermitage" has indeed not yet found the sealed entrance.

In that case, Luo Xiu still has plenty of time.

Luo Xiu must visit this new "Lost Mausoleum".

Before returning to Sina City, Luo Xiu was determined to complete the hidden mission [The End of Wandering (Difficult Difficulty)].

But he was in no hurry.

This can be done after completing the "Judgment of Paganism" mission and while guarding the corpse of the "pagan" extraordinary person.

……

night.

Luo Xiu prepared all kinds of equipment and potions, put on the "Mysterious Rune Armlet", and carried the "Moon-Cutting Scythe" and "White Oak Staff".

Afterwards, Luo Xiu came to the agreed location and met with Pamier and others.

Connor and Pamier had already arrived, but Anthony was late.

When Anthony felt the three people in the team looking at him with contempt, he smiled and said:
"Well, very good, everyone is on time..."

"Then, let's head to the Priory's base now. Everyone, cheer up."

……

In a desolate alley in Red Maple City.

The moonlight poured on the dilapidated eaves, mixing with the dust in the air, weaving a hazy and turbid shadow.

Dilapidated houses and collapsed earth walls come into view, and occasionally a scavenger or beggar hides in them, seeking shelter for a day or a night.

Led by Anthony, Luo Xiu, Pamier and Connor all followed behind the captain.

"According to the information provided by the mansion, not far ahead is one of the secret bases of the 'Ancient Hermitage'."

Anthony walked quickly through the streets, saying:
"Among the enemies, the strongest is the 'Spiritual Adventer' who has lost his triple destiny."

"At the same time, there are two [Lost] Double Fate 'Spellcasters' or 'Mages'..."

"If, if you really encounter an enemy with strange three-color light around him, protect yourself first." Anthony emphasized again:
"Prioritize your own protection. Remember this. This is just the first test. Your own survival is the key."

……

When the four came to a deserted camp and walked along a narrow path.

Luo Xiu could clearly feel the cold air spreading through his clothes and throughout his body.

It was not normal cold, but a chill with a certain "expelling" meaning.

"——I will serve as a torch to you."

Anthony suddenly began to chant, and his left hand became translucent, with a golden, firefly-like light emanating from it.

Along with the appearance of this warm golden light, Luo Xiu felt that the cold aura that was originally spreading began to gradually dissipate in the next moment.

The bright golden light emanating from Anthony's left hand also illuminated the way forward for everyone.

Anthony took off the steel-forged war hammer behind him, Connor and Pamier also held their weapons tightly, and Luo Xiu untied the cloth bag of the "Moon-Cutting Sickle", revealing the blade of the sickle.

"……keep going."

Anthony ordered.

……

In a desolate alley, inside a dilapidated camp.

After passing through the cold and gloomy path, the entrance to the "Ancient Hermitage" stronghold became very easy to identify.

Two "holy servants" wearing candlesticks on their heads and who have lost their lives are stationed on both sides of the entrance to the stronghold.

The "holy servants" all held a peculiarly shaped short-handled three-pointed knife with the blade smeared with wax mixed with ash.

When the two "holy servants" noticed the rustling footsteps coming from not far away, they also became alert.

They infused their own spirituality into the three-pointed knives in their hands, and the wax immediately ignited with bright flames.

The "holy servants" lowered their heads, stared devoutly at the flame on the tip of the knife, and muttered some kind of prayer.

……

When Anthony and his party turned the corner and appeared in the sight of the "holy servants".

The burning tridents in the hands of the two holy servants simultaneously sprayed a series of ferocious fire snakes in the direction of Anthony!
Six streams of blazing flames shot out towards Anthony, igniting the flammable materials in the path, making crackling sounds.

Anthony's left hand, which was emitting golden light, quickly drew a circle in front of him.

The next second, a spiritual shield shining with golden light appeared in front of Anthony.

——Sizzle! Six flames hit the light shield one after another, but were all decomposed and eliminated by the spiritual power contained in the light shield.

After blocking all the flames, Anthony pushed with his left hand, pushing the light shield towards the position of the two "holy servants".

--boom! ! !

The light shield exploded in front of the two "holy servants". Before the two holy servants could complete the next round of chanting, the "holy light essence" condensed into the shield transformed into the sin-purifying holy flame in the next moment, completely engulfing their bodies.

"...Tsk, that's quite a commotion."

Anthony dusted himself off, his expression showing his usual ease: "This is our greeting gift to the Ancient Priory."

"Pamier, Connor, stand on both sides of me. Luo Xiu, prepare the chant of 'consecration'..."

Anthony raised the hammer, and a ball of golden flame burned in the palm of his left hand.

"I hope that 'Spiritual Adventist' doesn't run away..."

There was a gleam of excitement in Anthony's eyes.
