Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 94: Divine Punishment
--boom! ! !

The holy flame in Anthony's left hand suddenly erupted, shaking away the "wandering spirits" that were entangled in front of him, and at the same time he began a new prayer.

"——I am a person who bears the guilt, and I am also a person who carries out punishment."

As Anthony prayed, the hammer in his right hand began to gradually emit a strange spiritual surge.

Unlike the complex golden patterns that were spread out before, the silver-grey metal surface on the warhammer seemed to be peeled off layer by layer, gradually revealing the bright gold background of the "Holy Hammer".

"The Holy Hammer of Purification" is the full name of the hammer held by Anthony.

As the spiritual power on the hammer gradually increased, Starro, the "Spirit Adventer", seemed to have sensed the threat from Anthony, the "Shepherd of Purification".

He then waved his hand, stopping the wandering spirits that had "descended" into Pastor Connor and Colen's bodies from invading, and instead commanded all the wandering spirits to attack Anthony!
——Swish, swish, swish! Countless sharp and piercing wind sounds suddenly surged in the room, and all the wandering spirits simultaneously turned their greedy eyes to Anthony, dragging tail flames like will-o'-the-wisp, and besieged Anthony's position.

Anthony quickly completed the construction of several defensive sacred arts. At the same time, countless tiny golden needles appeared around him and fired out the moment the wandering spirit approached!
——Puff, puff, puff! These "needles" condensed by the holy flames dispersed the closest circle of wandering spirits, but these "living beings" composed entirely of spirituality, like a "pool of water" with an adhesive effect, quickly gathered together again.

Those golden needles surrounded Anthony and began to rotate rapidly like impellers. He radiated his spirituality as much as possible and at the same time moved closer to the position of Starro, the "Spirit Adventer".

……

Here, when all the huge fireballs created by "Elemental Mage" Alonso were blocked by Anthony's "Holy Flame" and Pamier's "Golden Wall", his expression froze for a moment.

He had thought that the opponent's overall strength might not be comparable to that of an ordinary "double destiny" transcendent, but the moment they actually fought was still beyond his expectations.

Alonso's face turned cold. He turned the slender staff in his hand, and his figure disappeared from the spot the next moment and appeared more than ten meters away.

Pamier had already raised her greatsword and was running towards Alonso. When she saw that Alonso seemed to have used some kind of "teleportation" spell, a cold voice came from under the paladin's visor:

"...You can't escape."

Then, Pamier took a big step, wielding the mighty sword in an almost leaping posture, and rushed towards Alonso's position.

The complex golden patterns on her paladin armor appeared again, and the greatsword in her hand also emitted surging spiritual vibrations.

A dozen or so meters away, the "elemental mage" Alonso had a gloomy face. He stood still, holding the end of the slender staff with his left hand, and began to recite a new prayer:

"—I am the one who praises the fire of catastrophe, and I am the witness of the burning."

The moment Alonso finished his prayer, the temperature around Pamiers suddenly began to rise sharply.

Through the Paladin's helmet, Pamier's vision gradually turned dark red, and wisps of mist began to rise from the surface of the armor, as if he was placed in a huge furnace and was constantly being roasted.

Behind Pamier, Luo Xiu had finished chanting the "Purification Spell" and easily released Pamier from the "burning" state.

But this was not the only dilemma Pamiers faced.

The spell that "roasted" Pamier was not simply a heating or burning spell.

Just a moment ago, when Pamier felt the rising temperature, a huge "fire demon" had already opened its arms and embraced Pamier in its arms!
The chanting performed by Alonso was the summoning prayer of the "Flame Demon", and this was also the reason why the temperature around him suddenly rose sharply.

When Pamier was "purified" of the burning state by Luo Xiu, the fire demon immediately broke away from Pamier and floated to Alonso's side.

Luo Xiu looked up.

The "Fire-Thirsting Flame Demon" is an "elemental summon" about three meters tall, and belongs to the same type of "contracted monster" as the "Shadow-Eating Wolf - Fenrir".

However, the level of "Fire-Thirsting Flame Demon" is lower than that of "Shadow-Eating Wolf" because it is an induction summoning performed by Alonso with his own "spiritual" carrying capacity, rather than a positioning summoning performed by investing in the "transcendent soul". "...After seeing this, do you still think you can beat me?"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Alonso's face. He pointed the slender staff in his hand at Pamier and Rossouw and said in a sharp voice:

"A paladin and a priest, hehe...you will all be devoured by the fire of catastrophe!"

Alonso taunted wildly while waving the staff in his hand forward.

As if receiving some kind of instruction, the Flame Demon suddenly pounced towards Luo Xiu and Pamier, and the aura around him suddenly rose!

However, the next moment.

"——Bathing the wolf in glory, reborn in the burning holy flame."

An unknown chant came from Luo Xiu's position.

As if sensing some inexplicable spiritual shock, the aura emanating from the Flame Demon suddenly trembled and it stopped its forward attack.

Alonso only saw that right in front of Pamier, a "holy wolf" covered by holy flames suddenly descended from the void!
"...Sacred beast?" Alonso's face was horrified. "How could you..."

In his understanding, it was impossible for a "consecrated priest" with only a "double destiny" to possess the ability to contract a sacred beast.

That should be something that only a transcendent who has reached the fourth level of [Glory] destiny and has one foot halfway into the realm of "Sainthood" can accomplish!

Alonso's thoughts raced as Fenrir had already started fighting with the "Fire Demon"!

The deep red and golden flames of both sides burned intertwined, and they both wanted to completely devour the other and turn it into their own nourishment.

Pamier was somewhat shocked at the scene in front of her, but the calm mentality cultivated by long-term habit allowed her to quickly return to a stable state of mind.

Without the fire demon blocking her way forward, Pamier released all her spiritual power without reservation. The greatsword in her hand now emitted a fierce beating and buzzing sound.

She had also completed the chanting of her ultimate holy art.

"——This is the miracle of the Holy Light."

"——This is the divine punishment of the Holy Sword!"

Feeling the spiritual energy rising from Pamier's body, Alonso was horrified. He quickly waved his staff and tried to construct a final series of defensive arrays.

However, Pamier had already taken a step ahead of him and completed the charging of "Divine Punishment"!

Pure golden holy flames gushed out from the giant sword. Pamier raised the "holy sword" high and slashed towards Alonso!

--boom! ! !

The huge sword wave of "Divine Punishment" instantly completely submerged Alonso's figure.

The floor of the room began to shake violently, and countless fine dust particles fell from the roof. The slash swallowed up Alonso's body and slammed heavily into the wall of the room, leaving a terrifying deep cut.

When the surge of light from the slashing attack completely dissipated, the figure of the "Elemental Mage" Alonso could no longer be seen in the room.

His body and his soul were both turned into ashes in an instant by Pamier's blow.
