Chapter 494 Holy Light Monster
In the Lu'an Cathedral, which has a history of hundreds of years, the sound of roars and metal collisions broke the calm in the sanctuary. The pungent smell of magic flames burning the air filled every corridor and room. The gathered volunteer mercenaries and civilians set off a frenzy on the upper floor of the church. The hidden priests and Holy See knights were constantly found from the hiding corners and dragged to the square outside. This terrible movement even penetrated the thick ground and spread to the underground palace facilities under the church.
Wright led a dozen white knights in the deep underground palace of Luan Cathedral. The heavy and rapid sound of iron boots on the ground echoed in the ancient stone corridor. The sound of fighting on the ground would occasionally float in the misty world, as if it was in another world.
Amber's figure kept moving through the darkness near the White Knights team. She caught up with Wright's pace and couldn't help but feel curious: "Have you been here? Why do you think you are so familiar with it..."
"The underground structures of large churches are similar. The main hall extends a rectangular underground palace directly downwards from the Holy Spirit Tower, with one or two intersections in the middle, which is fixed," Wright said in a deep voice as he walked, "Be careful, there may be enemies hiding under here..."
"That's it... but I didn't see anyone all the way," Amber looked around, only seeing the corridors and stone roads illuminated by magic crystal stone lamps. "But the feeling here is...it's really a bit weird..."
Wright did not respond, but silently communicated in his heart that the sense of the holy light appeared in his eyes, accompanied by a slight light. This facility located underground in the church showed a different shape in his vision:
He saw countless translucent spirits floating in the deep and long corridor, and the mottled and ancient walls were flashing runes that were incomprehensible to mortals. The stone slabs on the ground were soaked by slight light, and a thin layer of mist was rising from the gaps in the stone slabs and gradually filling the entire corridor.
Other white knights also activated their tactical eyepieces, alerting to all abnormal energy reactions.
"The spirits in the sanctuary were alarmed..." Wright's pace gradually slowed down, his tone was extremely serious, "The energy field here is very active."
Amber thought about it carefully and found that he could not understand at all: "What does it mean?"
"The church gathers the spiritual power of people. The older and larger the church is, the more it is. Over the hundreds of years, countless devout believers and clergy have been active inside and outside the church. They prayed devoutly before their lifetime and slept here forever after death. Their souls will form a strong echo in the underground palace of the church. This echo is not the dead, but is similar to an unconscious empty echo. They are harmless and play a role in calming the spirit to a certain extent. Therefore, after entering the ancient cathedral, people will feel a slight sense of relaxation. The priests call it the miracle of the God of Light, but in fact this is just a natural phenomenon that can be fully explained by theory." Wright frowned while explaining this knowledge to Amber, "There are also many echoes gathered here... but these spirits that should have been dormant underground... all seem very restless."
Amber suddenly had goosebumps, and Emily's figure emerged from the air beside Wright. The little girl opened her eyes and looked at the empty corridor in the eyes of ordinary people. She happily waved her hand to greet the invisible spirits.
Wright immediately asked the little girl to go back: "Emily, hide it, there may be danger here."
Amber swallowed, and asked while thinking about the possibility of turning around and running away now: "Where will this be ahead?"
"It should be a prayer room, the underground prayer room is exclusively for the church's chief," Wright looked to the end of the corridor, "the holy light there... is extremely active."
The team was vigilant and began to move towards the depths of the underground facilities. Amber looked around and found that there was no suitable opportunity to let him escape, so he had to shake his head and follow with his teeth.
The noise coming from above gradually faded away. The faint sounds seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of curtains, turning into vague and difficult to distinguish. Amid the whispering, the corridor gradually came to an end.
An oak door stood quietly in front of him. The magic crystal stone lamps on both sides of the wooden door emitted a soft and warm light. On the small open space in front of the door, a figure in a black robe was quietly kneeling down.
The white knights instantly held the warhammer in their hands tightly, and Amber also lifted the poisoned dagger as soon as possible. However, the figure who was kneeling did not react at all unless he was a deaf person, otherwise he would not be able to hear the heavy footsteps coming from behind him.
Wright made a gesture and signaled everyone to be alert, while he himself came to the figure cautiously with the war hammer in one hand.
The other party has been dead for a long time.
Wright made a safe gesture. After the others approached, he used the hammer handle to tweak the body in the black robe. The latter fell down without any response, without any sound.
It was a monk with a precept tattoo on his scalp and a holy emblem on his chest. His face made everyone feel extremely strange
There was no pain on his face, no depressed expression on his death. On the contrary, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was peaceful and peaceful, as if he was immersed in boundless joy of peace and joy of peace and joy of peace and joy of peace continued until after his death.
Seeing the strange death of this monk in the precepts, and thinking about his previous posture of kneeling on the ground, Amber couldn't help but burst into cold sweat: "Oh my God... how did this guy die?"
"I was attacked by a mental attack spell without any defense."
Wright whispered, then looked up at the tightly closed oak door.
"The underground structure of this kind of facility is blessed by magic power... it should be able to withstand..." The newly promoted Patriarch analyzed in a low voice as if he was talking to himself, and then waved his subordinates behind him, "Prepare for the cleaning process."
The white knights immediately acted quickly. Some of them opened their shields and formed a defense line to deal with the impact in front of the gate. Others began to untie the grenades from their waists and behind them. Amber was stunned: "What? What cleaning process?"
No one answered her, and in the gap between her question, several white knights opened the weapon boxes carried by the team, took out several sets of individual howitzers with acceleration rails, sights and triangular brackets, and began to assemble them quickly in front of the gate to see their skill. Obviously, these soldiers had been training in the army for a long time before becoming white knights.
Amber's ears were trembling and suddenly stood up: "Wait a minute, this thing is not an Iron Ranger..."
"Borrowed from Saldrin," Wright said in a deep voice, directing the two team members to set a significantly larger howitzer directly opposite the door, "Don't worry, the power is too great and not brought."
While speaking, the white knights had already set up howitzers, and heavy heavy-explosive grenades were pushed into the acceleration track. These soldiers of the Holy Light pushed the shells into place and prayed in a low voice: "Sacred Light is merciful...Sacred Light bless the acceleration track. May the Holy Light bless this shell and its fuse..."
Amber suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was full of problems: "Hey, wait! You don't follow the process! Normally, when you encounter such a secret room underground, you should carefully remove the mechanism and follow..."
When the noisy half-elves were whistling, Wright had already raised the mechanical powered warhammer in his hand high, and then the heavy destructive weapon slammed heavily on the door of the prayer room with the whistling wind: "Divine Punishment!!"
With a loud bang, the wooden door was split into pieces. In that brief moment, Amber seemed to see something suddenly lit up behind the door and wanted to rush out. However, in the next second, with the continuous sound of explosions, a large number of heavy-explosive grenades, heavy grenades, crystallized bombs and continuous holy light impacts smashed into the prayer room.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."
The explosion sounded deafeningly, and the entire underground structure of the church trembled violently. If it were a normal building, the only result of collapse in the face of this terrible explosion. However, as the headquarters of the southern diocese of the Holy Light Church, the underground structure of Lu'an Cathedral is so strong that it is even stronger than the walls outside when it is full of energy. In this underground palace blessed with countless magic, the explosion sounds like the bell of Dalu.
The sound of rumbling sounded continuously. During the one-and-a-half-minute bombing, the white knights fired nearly a hundred grenades, bombs and grenades, and more holy lights. When the explosion finally came to an end, Amber still felt her whole head buzzing and rumbling. Even though she had covered her ears at the first time, it was obvious... the excellent hearing brought to her by the elf bloodline was a fatal weakness at this time.
Wright rushed into the prayer room with a war hammer as soon as the explosion stopped. Under his leadership, other white knights also followed.
"Keep alert!!"
In the dust of smoke, Wright loudly reminded everyone to watch out for alert, and his eyes swept through this large prayer room.
The prayer room was already in a mess. The ground, walls and roofs blessed by the holy light were severely damaged in the terrible bombing just now. There were amazing cracks and crumbling stone slabs and bricks everywhere. Between the broken walls and the ground, you could also see a faint golden light slowly squirming. The remaining spells of protection are working hard to maintain the support structure here and repair the damage to the building.
As for the furnishings in the room except the walls and the ground... they have all been wiped out in the previous explosion.
"Cough cough...cough cough..." Amber coughed while following the end and walked into the smoke-filled room. "You can't do this. You are more...cough cough...a little bit of a clergyman, okay..."
Wright raised a hand and interrupted Amber's loud bb, while his gaze fell in the middle of a messy room, where a ball of wriggling flesh, crystals and flowing water were gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Amber was shocked: "What's that thing?!"
