Chapter 16 Temple Raid


    At this moment, it is already late at night.


    ??Heavy rain fell from the sky, covering the entire city. The city was dark, without any lights, and it looked like a cemetery of death.


    Only a pale light illuminated the dilapidated street in front of him.


    Duanmu Huai held the war hammer in his hand and walked forward along the road. The searchlight on the side of his head emitted a dazzling white light, tearing through the darkness and illuminating everything in front of him.


    Duanmuhuai stared ahead while looking at the map data floating on the helmet in front of him - this was the reward he received after rescuing the prisoners in the city hall, a reconnaissance servo skull. It can scan the surrounding environment and display all life reactions on the map.


    ?Well, it is indeed a good help for Duanmuhuai.


    As for the shortcomings, it is that the servo skulls are too ugly.


    ??When he first came to the surface, defeated the evil **** ritual and rescued Alyssa, Duanmu Huai got a repair servo skull, which was mainly used to repair the power armor. Now I have obtained another reconnaissance servo skull, which is basically a very useful "external plug-in" for the Inquisitor.


    ??All servo skulls are made of human skulls. They will retain the human skull and part of the cervical vertebrae, and then be transformed into a drone-like device through mechanization.


    If nothing else, this thing has a strong villainous aura at least on the surface. The white skull floating next to the black knight can easily be regarded as the creation of some kind of undead spirit by people who don''t know the truth...


    But this thing is really easy to use. The servo skull is small and difficult to detect. In addition, it can fly silently. It is simply the best reconnaissance drone unit. Even in places like ventilation ducts, it can enter unimpeded.


    In fact, it was precisely because of the help of the reconnaissance servo skull that Duanmu Huai had discovered the ambushing enemies on the opposite side several times in advance. When they rushed out stupidly, they were greeted by the thunderous war hammer bombardment.


    “Tsk, this guy is really awesome.”


    ??Looking at Duanmu Huai mercilessly smashing a group of rat men into pulp again, the elf scout muttered in a low voice.


    She did not act together with Duanmu Huai. After all, the elf scout is good at reconnaissance and exploration. Although she also has good swordsmanship, it seems that the other party does not need her to be by her side.


    ?The elf scout has dealt with the rat men more than once. She knows how powerful the rat men are, but these monsters are as if they are made of clay in front of the Iron Knight, and they have no power to fight back.


    ?But what happened to that little girl...


    ??The elf scout turned around and looked at Ogis who was following him. Duanmuhuai said that she was the last trump card and would not let her take action unless she encountered someone in trouble. The elf scouts subconsciously thought that Ogis should be a mage - many mages did have powerful spells, but their fighting ability was average, so Duanmu Huai would always protect her.


    ??But what puzzled the elf scout was that she did not feel the breath of a living person from this girl, but she did not look like an undead creature such as a vampire...


    ??These two people are mysterious and strange.


    ?When he came to the gate of the temple, Duanmu Huai stopped.


    The door of the temple in front of you has been sealed, and there are wooden boxes and other things piled outside. It is obvious that no one is allowed to enter.


    “It seems we can’t get in. Do you want to find another way?”


    ??The elf scout came over and asked in a low voice, while Duanmuhuai glanced at the map displayed on the panel and shook his head.


    “No, it’s not necessary.”


    Having said this, Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer, lowered his body, and strode directly towards the door that was blocked by debris. Then the backpack behind him instantly sprayed out, bursting out with hot blue-white flames. With a huge impact, Next, Duanmu Huai rushed forward like a cannonball and crashed into it!


    “Boom!!”


    Of course, the door sealed by wooden boxes and debris could not withstand the impact of Duanmuhuai. In a moment, the fragile door was knocked away, and Duanmuhuai rushed directly into the temple in front of him. At the same time, he quickly glanced around, taking in the entire temple.


    All temples have a similar structure. In the front is a wide hall for preaching and praying, and in the back is the residence of the clergy. Naturally, this place is no exception, but the people surrounding the statue at this moment are not the devout believers, but a bunch of dirty, smelly rat people and evil **** believers. They are surrounding the statue, seeming to be performing some kind of blasphemous ritual.


    The appearance of Duanmuhuai was obviously unexpected by these rat men, but when they turned their heads and tried to figure out what was going on, Duanmuhuai had already flown across the entire hall and came to the wizard who was performing the ceremony. Their fat bodies are filled with plague and toxins. These evil wizards are also the most loyal "children" of the God of Filth.


    ?But these are not important to Duanmuhuai.


    “Hoo————!”


    ??The thunder hammer whizzed down and hit one of the fat wizards. However, at the same time, a dark green barrier emerged from the fat wizard''s side, trying to block the thunder hammer''s attack.


    ?However, no shield can block a Space Marine''s full blow.


    The moment the Thunder Hammer hit the barrier, it began to twist, deform, and then burst suddenly.


    Material dislocation!


    The thunder hammer that had penetrated the shield did not lose its force and hit the fat wizard''s head directly, smashing his head to pieces. The fat wizard also flew backwards under the impact of this blow. It hit the wall next to it with a "snap" like a cockroach that was knocked away, and made no movement.


    “Ho **** ho ho!!”


    ??At the same time that Duanmu Huai killed a fat wizard with his backhand, other rat people and evil **** believers also rushed over like a tide, surrounding Duanmu Huai the moment he landed on the ground. Perhaps their power is not enough to cause damage to Duanmu Sophora japonica, but their number can still make it difficult for Duanmu Sophora japonica to move for a period of time.


    ?But fortunately, Duanmuhuai is not fighting alone.


    Psychic shock!


    Dazzling blue light erupted from Duanmu Huai and spread in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the rat men and evil **** believers surrounding Duanmu Huai were immediately shocked to the ground by the powerful power of spiritual energy. Duanmu Huai then swayed. Body, dozens of puppet assassins flashed out of thin air and pounced on the enemy who had fallen on the ground before they had time to get up. Duanmuhuai rushed directly to the other fat wizard and smashed it into pulp again.


    Just when Duanmuhuai turned around and planned to kill the last wizard, suddenly, something happened.


    ??At the same time that Duanmuhuai''s thunder hammer broke through the fat wizard''s barrier, the body of the fat wizard suddenly expanded and became larger. Then, it instantly rose several meters taller, even taller than Duanmuhuai. Not only that, the fat wizard''s originally fragile body was now covered in layers of fat, making it look like a **** pig three to four meters tall.


    “Boom!”


    The thunder war hammer that had always been invincible before was also hindered. Duanmu Huai''s full blow did not break it like before. On the contrary, he only felt as if his war hammer had hit a thick giant tire. No reaction at all.


    At the same time, the fat wizard''s belly suddenly cracked open, revealing a brutal and **** mouth. At some point, a giant sword appeared in its hand, and it hit Duanmu Huai directly!


    “Holy shit!”


    ?Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai also screamed secretly, and hurriedly took back his war hammer to block it. The next moment, the whizzing giant sword directly hit Duanmu Huai''s body, sending him flying!


    “Plague Apostle?!”


    ??The elf scout who arrived at this moment screamed when she saw this scene. She did not expect that there would be such a presence here!


    Damn it, you know it’s not easy to deal with. Duanmu Huai stood up and stared at the monster in front of him.


    【Plague Apostle (Elite)】


    【LV35】


    This thing is 15 levels higher than me!


    Fortunately, Duanmuhuai was well prepared for this situation.


    At the same time that the Plague Apostle rushed towards him, he also played the trump card that he had been hiding in his hand!


    “Ogis!”


    “Wow——!”


    Following Duanmuhuai''s call, the suitcase in the silver-haired girl''s hand suddenly opened, and then a huge masked doll flew out and blocked Duanmuhuai''s face. With their hands intertwined, they faced the Plague Apostle''s sword!


    “Click——!!”


    ?This time, the man-made puppet was not able to block the Plague Apostle''s attack. The big sword directly smashed through the body of the masked puppet, turning it into fragments on the ground. At the same time, Ogis raised her hands, and shining threads emerged from all directions silently, tightly wrapping around the plague apostle''s body.


    However, compared to the previous bloodthirsty demons, the Plague Apostle seemed not to be very sensitive to this kind of attack. Although its movements were temporarily fixed by silk threads, the Plague Apostle did not care and continued to smile at Duanmu Huai. Pounce.


    Damn it, that’s why I hate playing with viruses!


    Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai also spat secretly. Among the four evil gods, the followers of the God of Filth are the most disgusting. Not only are the things they do disgusting, but they themselves are also disgusting. Just like the Plague Apostle in front of us, although it looks like a whole on the surface, in fact, strictly speaking, its body is more like a pile of some kind of viral elements. Unless the core is damaged, these guys don''t die that easily.


    ?An attack like Ogis''s would have been cut into seven or eight pieces if it were placed on other followers of the evil god. Only a guy like this who looks like an ooze monster can block Ogis''s attack.


    There is no way, the resistance is different. To deal with this kind of guy, the best way to use is necromancy or elemental spells. Unfortunately - whether it is Duanmu Huai or Ojisi, they are all physical attacks. It is really difficult to deal with such disgusting things. Some are powerless.


    But it doesn’t mean that you can’t fight.


    ??The Plague Apostle, which was bound by silk threads, did not give up its attack. It opened the **** mouth on its belly and sprayed poisonous mucus at Duanmuhuai. However, Duanmu Huai did not avoid these germs and venom. On the contrary, he stepped forward and thrust the steel war hammer in his hand directly into the big mouth on the plague apostle''s belly.


    Following this, there was lightning and thunder.


    “Ahhhhhhh!!”


    The shining thunder instantly enveloped the entire Plague Apostle''s body, causing it to tremble and let out a painful wail. Duanmu Huai took the opportunity to let go of the thunder hammer, stretched out his hand and took out the chain sword from behind, jumped up, raised the chain sword in his hand high, and swung it hard at the Plague Apostle!


    “Buzz————!”


    ??The wildly rotating chain sword split open the Plague Apostle’s head, all the way down. However, the feeling didn''t feel like cutting into muscles or bones at all, but more like cutting into a pile of sponges. When it reached the chest, the chain sword suddenly stopped.


    Found it!


    Feeling the touch from the chain sword, Duanmu Huai''s eyes narrowed, and the muscles in his hands bulged. The huge force exploded again, suppressing the chain sword and continuing downwards. The next moment, the chain sword split the plague like this. The core of the apostle, and then he saw the body of the plague apostle suddenly expanded like a ball, and then exploded with a "bang".


    A violent wave of air rushed towards her, and even Duanmu Huai, who was wearing power armor, couldn''t help but take a few steps back. However, the elf scout who saw the opportunity had already pulled Ogis out of the church - she didn''t. Duanmu Huai''s ability, if he was exposed to the Plague Apostle''s self-destruction, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn''t die.


    “This piece of shit...”


    ?Duanmu Huai, who was covered in plague flesh and blood, was also very unhappy. If he didn''t have this set of fully enclosed power armor, it would be very difficult to deal with this thing. He had fought this thing before, and it was still a team battle. In the end, the Plague Apostle self-destructed, causing all of his melee combatants to die. Only a few healers and damage dealers in the back row survived.


    Sure enough, magic is still needed...


    Looking at the blasted corpse in front of him, Duanmuhuai shook his head. Units like the Plague Apostle have relatively strong physical resistance, and both myself and Ogis have physical attack attributes. It seems that I need to go to other ruins to look for magic soul cards.


    “I didn’t expect you to be able to destroy the Plague Apostles.”


    At this moment, the elf scout also walked in and looked at the hall in front of her in surprise. To be honest, if she hadn''t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn''t have believed that someone could kill these powerful evil god''s subordinates single-handedly...


    No, he is not fighting alone.


    Thinking of this, the elf scout glanced at Ogis next to him. The doll girl still looked calm and expressionless. However, the elf scout knew that it was the girl who had just used some kind of silk thread to restrain her. The actions of the Plague Apostle - it seems that the knight was right, this girl is indeed hiding something secret.


    “Okay, all the monsters here have been cleared.”


    Duanmu Huai put down his chain sword and glanced around.


    “Where is that sacred object?”


    "I know."


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, the elf scout''s eyes also lit up. Then she quickly came to the statue in the depths of the hall. Then the elf scout muttered a few words like a mantra in a low voice. Soon, she saw the quilt-covered statue. The polluted statue emitted a soft light, and then its closed hands slowly opened. Then, a pearl about the size of an apple, exuding white brilliance, appeared in it.


    Seeing this scene, the elf scout breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Huh…it’s okay, it’s okay…”


    ?However, before the elf scout could finish her words, Duanmu Huai''s chain sword was already pressed against her throat.


    “As a scout, you know a lot.”


    ?Starting at the elf scout in front of him, Duanmu Huai said coldly.
