Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 146 Siege (5k2)

“—Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

"Shadow of Slaughter" Setis suddenly roared to the sky, and his hands turned into gray-white blades, stabbing towards "Destroyer" Borok!

The "Shadow of Killing" does not need traitors. Although there is an unwritten rule of "kill and replace" within the "Blood of Thorns", for the current "Shadow of Killing" Setis, Setis will not hesitate to kill anyone who may hinder the smooth implementation of his plan at this critical moment.

The rows of slender feathers under the arms of Borok the "Destroyer" were trembling, and the pale claw knife held tightly in his hands was emitting waves of strange fluctuations from the blade, piercing towards the vital parts of the body of Setis the "Shadow of Slaughter"!

At this moment, Borrock's face was showing a complex expression of fear and fanaticism. His hand holding the knife was trembling slightly - it was a trembling caused by fear, but the inexplicable courage made him have no intention of stopping.

——Swish! The gray blades transformed by the hands of Setis, the Shadow of Slaughter, and the pale claw knife held by Borok, the Destroyer, collided violently in an instant, splashing out strings of tiny sparks!
A sharp sound that made one's teeth ache suddenly rang out, and the "Destroyer" Borok, his entire body flew backwards in an instant.

The power of "Shadow of Killing" Setis far exceeds that of Borok. If they confront each other head-on, Borok has absolutely no chance of defeating "Shadow of Killing" Setis.

Borok's body was blown away like a kite with a broken string, and then rolled endlessly on the rugged and gravelly ground. Soon, he had dozens of torn wounds on his body caused by sharp stones.

"Cough... cough... cough..." When Borok hit a hard cliff and finally stopped rolling, he struggled to half-straighten his body, and then knelt down as if all his strength was drained away, spitting out a pool of deep red blood from his mouth.

"Shadow of Killing" Setis, with a gloomy face, walked towards Borok step by step.

"Borock... why did you betray..." The Shadow of Slaughter's low voice reached Borok's ears, but Borok seemed to be deaf to it.

Suddenly, the face of "Shadow of Killing" Setis changed!
——Swish! Setis' arms, which had turned into blades, suddenly gushed out scarlet blood, and then deep scars appeared on his arms. The scars were so deep that you could almost see the color of the inner bones.

The expression on Setis's face became even more gloomy. He stared at the wounded "Body Destroyer" Borok in front of him, and at the pale claw knife tightly held in his hand.

"I almost forgot...Borok." Setis said in a gloomy voice, "You have this thing..."

"Ahem... Lord Setis, hehe..."

A strange smile immediately appeared on Borok's face. He looked at Setis slowly approaching him and stood up shakily.

"It doesn't matter... I can still be resurrected... It doesn't matter!"

Borok said this with a ferocious look on his face, then he tightly grasped the pale claw knife with both hands and stabbed towards Setis again!

Seeing this, Setis simply raised his hands slightly, and the gray blade formed by his arms still had scarlet silk threads on its surface.

However, the next moment, Setis's expression suddenly changed!

The blade that appeared from his arm was not completely dyed with the dark scarlet color as he had expected.

On the contrary, those scarlet inlaid silks quickly dimmed under Setis's gaze and turned back to their original gray color.

...What happened! Setis' pupils suddenly contracted. He had never encountered such a situation before!

And right next to Setis's ears, there was a sudden and violent sound of wind, and at the same time, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

Setis turned around quickly and saw three figures who had completely surrounded him from three other directions at some point in time!

At first glance, Setis saw that among the three enemies of unknown origin, there was a "gentleman" wearing a formal suit but a black cloak. He was the closest to him, but his arms were scarlet, and they were two sharp scarlet blades!
And that was exactly the blade that Setis had failed to conjure up just now!
The "gentleman" was very fast. Almost at the same time Setis noticed him, the "gentleman" had already approached Setis' side, and the scarlet knife suddenly chopped down towards Setis' neck!
——Dang! A dull sound of metal hitting each other came from the blades of both parties. The blade of the "gentleman's" arm was shattered on the spot by Setis, and the "gentleman" himself was knocked away by Setis's huge force.

In Settis' sight, the two broken arms of the "gentleman" began to spew huge amounts of blood like fountains. He was rolling towards the steep cliff behind him while spewing blood. It was obvious that he had suffered quite serious injuries and could no longer join the battle.

However, just as Setis was thinking this, the scene in front of him suddenly froze like a picture!
A faint black border began to appear at the edge of Setis's vision, just like the frame of a painting.

Then, the picture began to shatter like a glass mirror, and in the next moment, all the "fragments" were simultaneously peeled off from the sight, and Setis's vision suddenly fell into a void of darkness.

"What...happened?" Setis' pupils suddenly shrank and he looked around panickily. However, he could see nothing except complete darkness.

Suddenly, Setis covered his head with his hands and let out an extremely shrill roar:
“—Hmmmm!”

As Settis's vision fell into darkness, the demon wolf lurking in his mind began to weave horrific nightmares to devour Settis's spirit!
At the same time, the darkness around Setis finally faded away, and blurred light and shadows appeared in the picture of the original world.

But when the real picture was clearly presented in front of Setis again, he saw the most incredible scene!
——The "gentleman" whose arms he had cut off and knocked away before actually appeared in front of him again! However, only his right hand had transformed into a scarlet blade, while his left hand was holding up the half-top hat on his head, and he bowed slightly in his direction!
“How is this possible… Ughhhhhhhhhh!”

Setis had a splitting headache and roared angrily, his bloodshot eyes staring at the "gentleman" in front of him.

"Hello, dear sir..."

Settis saw that the "gentleman" suddenly greeted him.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Pior the Dream Thief, and I can be considered a believer in the Void."

"Oh, of course. I have a more noble status now."

"I am the apostle of the Holy Abyss, sir. Now, can you please die peacefully and honorably?"

"..."

The Shadow of Slaughter, Setis, was not prepared to answer the Dream Thief's question. Setis stared at the scarlet phantom blade in Pior's right hand, and the expression on his face became more distorted and hideous.

It turned out to be a believer of Nothingness... Setis obviously had not expected this. The believers of this destiny all acted in a very strange way and rarely showed up in front of other extraordinary people.

Even Setis, the "Shadow of Killing" with the fourth destiny of [Red Lotus], was encountering believers of [Nothingness] for the first time, and he had no experience in fighting against them.

However, in Setis's cognition, the other party was just a transcendent being with a "triple destiny" and his hard power was far inferior to his own.

When "Shadow of Killing" Setis thought of this, he urged the gray blades on his arms and rushed towards "Dream Thief" Pior!
However, this time he charged, he failed to take the first step successfully.

——Sizzle! Setis heard a tearing sound in his ears, and then he felt a sharp pain in his back.

Setis turned around suddenly, only to see that Borok, the "Destroyer of Bodies", had, at some point in time, held the pale claw knife close to his back and stabbed him hard!

"...Just now, when my vision fell into darkness?" Setis' thoughts raced, he turned around quickly, and the blades of his arms were like long whips, hitting the "Destroyer" Borok fiercely!
——Pah! A loud explosion sounded, and Borok's body flew backwards again, blood splattering all over the place. A terrifying deep blood mark appeared on Borok's body.

However, there didn't seem to be any fear on Borok's face, instead he became more fanatical.

"I am immortal... I am immortal... I am immortal!" Borok drooled and kept muttering strange words. Holding the pale claw knife, he was about to rush towards Setis again!

Setis got ready to give Borok the final blow to completely solve this biggest trouble. However, before he could make a move, the alarm bells in his heart suddenly rang!

A black shadow had already rushed out from a hidden rock crack behind Setis and was running towards Setis!

That was the shadow that had silently backstabbed Setis, the Shadow of Slaughter!
The "Hunting Blade" Undertaker, holding the Soul-piercing Knife in his left hand and a dark poisoned dagger in his right hand, attacked Setis with great speed, like a falling meteor!

"Shadow of Slaughter" Setis raised his blade to block. However, the shadow in front of him disappeared the moment he raised his blade!
"Where are the people..." Setis was puzzled, but in the next moment, he felt a very violent impact!

——Dang! The scarlet sickle suddenly slashed at Setis from behind, and Setis was totally unprepared for this!
A deep wound was cut on his neck in an instant. Fortunately, he reacted in time and blocked the attack with his arm blade, otherwise, his head would have been chopped off on the spot!

The figure wielding the scarlet sickle leaped backwards and soon disappeared after Setis blocked the attack.

In Setis's eyes, he only saw a black gauze cloak floating like smoke, and a pitch-black puppet-patterned mask hidden under the cloak.

This was the most dangerous attack that Setis, the "Shadow of Killing", had ever experienced.

Although the fight lasted only a moment, Setis could already tell that his opponent only had three fates.

However, Setis truly felt that only the man with the "triple destiny" and the black mask gave him enough sense of oppression!
Just now, when he swung the slash at him, the red-glowing sickle blade was even burning with an even scarletter flame!
After only a short fight, Setis's arm, which had been transformed into a blade, had a large burn mark. The strange flame seemed to be able to penetrate the defense and directly hit the origin of the extraordinary!

"Monster..." Setis murmured, however, having just blocked an attack, he did not have a moment of relief.

In the next moment, three attacks came from three directions. The "Hunting Blade" Undertaker, the "Dream Stealer" Pior, and the "Body Destroyer" Borrock all attacked towards Setis!

Three figures rushed over, leaving a long trail of light in the air. Setis heard an extremely sharp sound of breaking through the air, so he raised his two swords and turned half of his body into gray mist, ready to dodge the three attacks that were about to come at any time!
Setis knew himself well - even if he was a transcendent with a "quadruple destiny", if he had to face the attacks from three transcendents with triple destiny at the same time, he would suffer considerable damage!
Setis knew very well that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him - he had no way of using the skill of [Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood·Killing Living Corpses], nor could he create "Corpses of Killing" to assist him. In this state, the level of combat power that could be displayed by Setis, the "Shadow of Killing", was quite ordinary among the four levels of destiny.

This is like a tamer without a beast or a necromancer without a dead soul. The situation is naturally unfavorable to Setis. Setis, who is still only a "fourfold fate" killing shadow, has not mastered the means of storing flesh and blood.

……

Just as Setis's expression was tense, ready to guard against the three sudden attacks at any time.

Then he heard what sounded like church hymns in his ears.

Chant with sacred meaning began to linger in Setis' ears. Setis saw that a faint golden arc appeared faintly at the edge of his feet.

What is this... Setis was confused.

However, in the next moment, the light of the golden arc suddenly rose!
——Shua! Countless tiny golden threads suddenly emerged from the golden arc, binding Setis's feet tightly. Then, a sharp and slender golden spear suddenly shot upward from directly below Setis!

This golden spear completely ignored any defense of Setis and penetrated his body from back to chest!
Setis was horrified, but he did not feel any pain.

"Is it an illusion...?" Setis thought to himself. When there were enemies who were believers of the Void at the scene, this was the first possibility that Setis thought of.

Then Setis tried to move his body.

As a result, Setis soon discovered that although he could still swing his arms freely, his feet could not move!

Unable to move! This is far more dangerous than being seriously injured!
The expression on Setis's face changed several times and he began to feel fear.

This is exactly the sacred art "Prison Evil Temple" that Luo Xiu cast on Setis at the most critical moment!
The "Prison Temple of Evil" completely restricted Setis's movements, forcing him to face head-on the powerful attacks from three triple-destiny transcendents!
next moment.

——Boom! The three attacks all hit the body of "Shadow of Slaughter" Setis heavily, and the scene was immediately filled with smoke and dust, accompanied by bursts of strong bloody smell.

The Undertaker and Pior quickly jumped back after their successful strikes, but Borok, the "Destroyer", did not jump away.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Luo Xiu, who had moved to a far end to watch the battle, saw clearly the body of "Shadow of Slaughter" Setis, which was already riddled with holes.

Two deep holes, one pierced through Setis's lower abdomen, and the other pierced through his right chest. In addition, there was a shallow scratch on Setis's neck, which was a minor injury caused by the "Destroyer" Borok.

However, Borrock's attack, which was originally aimed at Setis's neck, was blocked by Setis's blade. In a hurry, Setis could only choose a direction to defend, so he chose Borrock without hesitation.

This is because Setis, the "Shadow of Killing", is most familiar with Borok and hates him the most - Setis still can't figure out why Borok would betray him.

While Setis blocked Borok's attack, he was still slightly scratched by the attack from the Pale Claw. He was hit in two fatal places by the Hunting Blade and the Dream Stealer at the same time, and his vitality was rapidly draining from his body.

At the same time Setis was injured, the gray blade created by his right arm pierced through the heart of Borok the "Destroyer"!
"Puff, puff" sounds came from the wound on Borrock's left chest. His heart was still pumping, but every beat was accompanied by severe blood loss.

Unlike Setis who was merely severely injured, Borok, the "Destroyer", was pushed to the brink of death by Setis's desperate counterattack!
"Traitor..." Setis's expression was ferocious, and he stared at Borok with cruel eyes, as if he wanted to get the answer to his betrayal from his face.

However, Setis only saw a perverse and strange smile on Borok's face. Borok laughed strangely from his throat and repeated to Setis in a discontinuous manner:

"...Hehe...I will definitely kill you next time...I will definitely kill you when I go down..."

"..."

- Swish!

"Shadow of Killing" Setis swung his right arm blade and threw Borok heavily towards the cliff next to him.

——Bang! Borok hit the cliff wall hard. His left chest was pierced. When the blade blocking the wound was pulled out, blood immediately flowed out like a fountain.

As he lost blood, Borok's pupils quickly dimmed. When his pupils completely dilated, he also lost all his life force.

But even though Borok was dead, he still had that weird smile on his face.

"I will definitely kill you next time..."

Only these words kept lingering in Setis' ears, and did not fade away for a long time.
