Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 226 Cultists

There was an evil atmosphere in the village, and Rhodes became irritable after entering the village. For some reason, he felt that his blood flow speeded up a lot.

He used the mage ball to explore the surrounding environment with mental power. After taking the marrow washing pill, in addition to the increase in internal strength and physical fitness, his mental power and magic power also increased a little.

In the past, he could use the Master Ball to detect the surrounding situation at most 50 meters, but now the range has been extended to more than 60 meters.

The increase in the range of mental power detection must be more difficult the further you go, the difference in area between a circle with a radius of 60 meters and a circle with a radius of 50 meters is greater than the difference in area between a circle with a radius of 50 meters and a circle with a radius of 40 meters Much bigger.

This village and the one just now are very small. There are probably only a dozen households in a village, and Rhodes' mental power can cover more than half of the village.

On the other side of the village, Rhodes found more than a dozen heretics in blood-red robes and strange masks performing some kind of evil ceremony. Dozens of villagers knelt down in front of them and could not move.

"Come with me, I'll find out where they are." Rhodes said to Duke Ulver behind him.

In less than ten seconds, they were there.

The dozen or so cultists did not take any action because of their arrival. They surrounded dozens of villagers, and they seemed to be meditating on something, but their lips were moving without making any sound.

Such a weird scene made Rhodes feel a little chill on the back of his neck.

The villagers among those cultists should have fallen into some kind of illusion, all kneeling on the ground, their bodies still shaking constantly, as if they were suffering some kind of pain.

Rhodes ran behind a cultist with the Yanling Saber and stabbed him in the back of the neck with the tip of the saber.

The Yanling Saber penetrated directly through his body as if it had touched the air, without any blood flowing out.

Luo wanted to withdraw the knife, but found that the knife in his hand seemed to be sucked by the air in front of him, and he couldn't pull it out at all.

The next moment, the air in front of him turned into Duke Ulver, who pinched Rhodes' knife with his hands covered in ice crystals.

"You have been under the illusion!" Duke Ulver said loudly in front of him.

But the next moment, he turned into a cultist wearing a strange mask in front of him.Rhodes bit the tip of his tongue like in the supernatural novel. He felt a burst of dizziness in his brain. He almost fell to the ground, but he managed to maintain his balance in the end.

"When did I get the illusion?" Rhodes asked, his head was still a little dizzy, and he looked at the cultists not far away who were still performing some kind of ceremony.

"When you were about to meet them, you suddenly turned around and rushed towards me with red eyes." The Duke replied.

Rhodes has never been tricked by illusion before, this is his first experience, and he didn't expect to be tricked so easily.

Since you will fall into hallucinations if you get close to those cultists, as long as you don't get close to them, it will be fine.

Rhodes activated his internal energy and magic power, and used a yang finger on a cultist, and a blood-red round shield blocked the invisible qi.

Still unwilling to give up, he slapped it with his flaming palm, and the flaming giant hand was bigger than before. The current flaming giant hand is estimated to be more than four meters tall, and even facing it is a piece of cake, except for the power of the explosion. Something that takes courage.

The giant flaming hand hit the blood-red shield and exploded. The shield did not collapse directly, but the cultist inside was shocked by the explosion and took a few steps forward through the shield.

He turned his head and stared at Rhode angrily, the blood-red light condensed on the cultist, and after the light disappeared, he turned into a warrior wearing blood-red plate armor.

Although the plate armor on that cultist was far less heavy than that of the imperial heavy armored sergeant, it was thicker than the armor of ordinary knights. His blood-red plate armor seemed to be alive, and it felt like it was still wriggling when worn on him.

The cultist pulled back the longbow that was condensed with blood-red light, and the next moment an arrow exuding a strong smell of blood shot towards Rhodes.

"Be careful!" Duke Ulver reminded loudly.

Rhodes took out the round shield inside the space ring and blocked the arrow. The bloody arrow hit the round shield and turned into a puddle of foul-smelling blood. The sound of sizzle.

This pool of blood should be as corrosive as acid. If it falls on Rhodes, even if he is copper-skinned and iron-framed, a large piece of flesh and blood will be corroded.

Rhodes suddenly felt that he needed to find a way to improve his body's resistance to acids and alkalis. In this world, there are quite a few creatures that use acid as an attack method. It is said that the acid liquid of the hydra living in the southern swamp of the empire can directly turn people into A puddle of blood.

"These cultists should still be carrying fetishes!" Duke Ulver's eyes turned blue again, and the ground began to cover him with frost. With a roar, he rushed towards the cultist in plate armor.

Rhodes became excited when he heard that the cultists were carrying fetishes. He hoped that the sinful souls provided by this fetish would be enough to upgrade the system, and he didn't know what kind of functions would be added after the system was upgraded again.

Before Duke Ulver approached the cultist in plate armor, the cultist shot another arrow at Rhodes. Rhodes didn't use his shield to block it. This time he used Star Shift.

The red arrow was redirected by an inexplicable force and shot at another cult member who was performing a ritual.

It may be because the energy on the red arrow is from the same source as the shield on their body. The shield did not activate automatically, and the arrow pierced the cultist's chest.

After the cultist's chest was pierced, blood flowed out from the wound quickly, and merged into the red rays of light on the other cultists.

"I have to find a way to kill them all at once. Every time one of them dies, other people will share that person's power equally. After all the power belongs to the same person, even I will find it difficult." Duke Ulver The ax split a gap in the plate armor of the cultist wearing plate armor, but the next moment the plate armor squirmed, and the whole set of plate armor was restored.

"You do this kind of thing, I can't kill them all at once." Rhodes responded loudly.

"Then you deal with this man." Duke Ulver chopped off the cultist in front of him with another axe, and the cultist landed precisely in front of Rhodes.

Duke Ulver's strength can crush this cultist, but the plate armor on this cultist is condensed with special energy. In addition to self-healing, the plate armor can also repair the cultist's injuries and enhance his strength.

A red vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. Below the center of the vortex were the villagers in the village. They were kneeling on the ground and trembling. After the vortex appeared, they began to fall to the ground screaming and twitching in pain.

"I think you should find a way to destroy their ceremony first." Rhodes used the newly learned Liangyi swordsmanship to deal with the cultists holding the giant bow in front of him. The giant bow in his hand could also be used as a special weapon. The stick to use.

But even if Rhodes used the unfamiliar Liangyi swordsmanship, he was still able to completely suppress him. During this battle, Rhodes found that his abilities in all aspects had been greatly enhanced, whether it was strength or agility, he looked at it now. Watching the cultist's attacks appear in slow motion, he was able to defend and counter with ease.

"Ha!" A loud roar came from not far away. Rhodes felt that his feet were a little unsteady, and the cultist he was fighting with lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Rhodes took out a red-tasseled gun in the system space and nailed the cultist to the ground.

He turned his head and saw that the cultists who were performing the ceremony fell to the ground and struggled to stand up.

"Cough, step back!" Duke Ulver shouted.

Rhodes quickly backed away after hearing it.

Duke Ulver used telekinesis to throw all the cultists on the ground next to the cultist nailed to the ground by the red-tasseled gun, and then his gray hair shone with silver light, and all the cultists on the ground were frozen into ice piece……
