Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

72. Kill the priest first

Elsa didn't know if what she encountered was a ley line of fire, after all, she had only seen it once.

"I'm not sure..." Aisha said, "But it looks very similar to the ley lines the old priest described. I could recognize it if I saw it again."

Aisha said, which made Mary feel a little relieved.

Maybe it's just a misunderstanding? — Mary suddenly felt that she might just be comforting herself. In fact, she was more willing to believe Elsa.

The stronger Elsa becomes, the more exciting it will be.

Humanity is a race that needs strong people.

But Mary soon sighed again, she raised her eyes and looked deeply at Elsa, worry overflowing in her eyes.

"Elsa, if... I mean if, if we encounter danger that even you can't solve during the next mission, please leave us alone and escape from here as soon as possible, okay?"

"Why do you say that?"

Elsa couldn't answer this kind of question. In fact, when facing danger, people might do things that even surprise themselves.

Mary said slowly and seriously:

"You have a long future ahead of you, Aisha. Someone like you shouldn't stop here. There are still many people who need you. Besides, I think you might become the Chief Holy Sister. You wouldn't be willing to stop here, right?"

Elsa glanced at Mary, then looked away at Vivian without answering the question.

Mary looked away and continued.

"Because I feel... there might be a greater conspiracy behind this. The Sage is extremely powerful. With her here, even the Demon General would be unable to cause much trouble. There's no point in resurrecting her. But... if all this is the work of the remnants of the Demon King's army, then they know it's pointless yet they still do it. This means they must have a way to break this situation. The remnants of the Demon King's army are a cunning bunch. I don't think they would do anything without confidence."

As she spoke, Mary turned her head to look at the two men in black robes who were tied up by Filia.

Moore's face was bitter, but Lucas was very arrogant. He shouted at Mary: "Sister, you will pay the price! My brothers will avenge me and kill you..."

Elsa turned around and clamped Lucas's jaw, which was dislocated with a click. Lucas screamed in pain, but could no longer speak, which made Moore's face turn pale. To be honest, he was not very brave and was just scared. If he hadn't been under a restriction, he might have been the first to betray.

"You talk a lot of nonsense."

Elsa looked at Mary and motioned for her to continue.

"Also, I'm uneasy about these vampires interfering. Earth veins are no simple matter. With their power, they're far from capable of piercing them. It's all because of this seemingly insignificant magic circle—I've never seen this kind of magic before, even just a little bit, but it does interfere with the earth veins. This is unimaginable. Does this mean that if the magic circle is magnified hundreds or thousands of times and activated all at once, can it directly sever the earth veins?"

Of course, the effect of a magic circle is not something that can be increased proportionally by simply amplifying the magic circle and the input magic power, but there is no doubt that magic is something that can be realized as long as the theory is correct and rigorous, and the properties and amount of magic power and the level of fine control meet the standards. As long as it is feasible, it will definitely exist.

Elsa nodded in agreement and said, "This matter needs to be told to the Sage."

Mary nodded, and then she contacted Celyhilda directly through the magic mark on the back of her hand and reported their current findings in detail.

"Vampires?" Celyhilda's voice seemed a little surprised. "Could you please tell Elsa to bring the person to me?"

"Ok."

Mary didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, Ceilihilda also started to think. She asked Elsa to bring people over just to confirm some things.

The unusual phenomenon possessed by Elsa Faris can even suppress the curse of the Demon King, and it can even be said that it can suppress anything that exists in the form of magic, so it should also be able to suppress the blood pact of the vampires. Serilhirda wants to confirm whether this guess is correct - her magical vision can "see" the blood pact. In order to avoid accidents, it is safest to let Elsa come in front of her to conduct experiments.

Furthermore, if Aisha could suppress the Blood Pact, to what extent could she do so? Would she be able to dispel it directly, or temporarily control it?

After the Demon King's curse is suppressed, once Celisilda leaves Elsa, the curse will immediately retake her. So what about the Blood Pact? Can it be eradicated once and for all, or, like the Demon King's curse, can only be suppressed but not removed?

Of course, the purpose of conducting these experiments is also to obtain intelligence from these two blood slaves.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if the blood pact cannot be eradicated, as long as it can be suppressed temporarily. After all, the blood clan is very confident in the blood pact, so when selecting blood slaves, they pay more attention to their own preferences and the blood slaves' abilities, but they will not deliberately cultivate a trusting relationship between each other. Because of this, most blood slaves actually have no loyalty at all, but they cannot do so because of the blood pact.

Serilihilda had at least ten kinds of magic that could make the two black-robed men willingly reveal information. Suppressing the blood contract was only to prevent them from exploding and dying as soon as they opened their mouths, and to ensure that they could tell the complete information.

……

After finishing the report, Mary relayed Celilda's words to Elsa, who nodded without objection.

Compared to Bishop Pittman, Aisha also felt that Serilda was more reliable.

"Then we won't go back to the central tomb, let's go down directly from here."

Elsa pointed to the ground and said that the ground beneath their feet was the second-level cave. Otherwise, the magic circle would not be set up here. Elsa was ready to punch through this place and take a shortcut.

Seeing Elsa slowly raising her hand, Mary's eyelids jumped, and she quickly pulled Vivian and Filia back behind Elsa.

But Elsa didn't drop her fist for a long time. Instead, she raised her eyes. In Elsa's vision, the passage under her feet extended forward, and a group of black shadows appeared at the end of the dark passage.

At this time, Filia also felt it.

"There are enemies."

Filia said, while Lucas and Moore's eyes lit up. However, Moore was very careful not to make any sound to reduce his presence. Lucas beside him wanted to arrogantly declare - "You are finished!"

But his jaw was dislocated and he couldn't make a sound.

Those black shadows appeared quickly. They were all people wrapped in black robes. There were more than twenty of them. When they saw Aisha and the others, as well as Lucas and Moore behind them, they rushed up without saying a word.

"Kill that priest first!"

One of them said, and then the two black robes rushed directly towards Aisha.

Moore and Lucas' hearts skipped a beat at the same time. Moore's eyes widened and he shouted, "Wait! She's not...Ah ...

Before he could even say anything, Aisha broke his jaw.

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

73. She's Not a Pastoral Staff Player [Part 3]

Mastering a skill is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task.

Many people find it difficult to achieve breakthroughs in magic and martial arts throughout their entire lives. Anyone who can climb to the position of silver medal adventurer before dying of exhaustion at the age of fifty is already an outstanding figure.

Energy is limited, and few people would choose to practice two or even three skills at the same time. For example, priests usually strive to improve their light magic while only understanding some tactics and learning a little self-defense, and that's it.

After all, most of the time, that is, when facing monsters, priests are not needed to fight.

After all, monsters have no intelligence, and they are easily seduced by the front-line warriors and ignore the existence of the priest. The priest only needs to fulfill his responsibilities to heal teammates, enhance their status and dispel toxins. It is useless to learn more. Anyway, if the teammates can't stop the monsters, they will certainly not be able to stop it. It is better to improve their own skills to play a better role, which is more efficient.

It has become a consensus that pastors are vulnerable but also important, so they must be protected.

Similarly, he also became the primary target of the black robes.

As long as the priest is eliminated, without the blessings and treatments bestowed by the priest, the team's sustained combat capability will decline by a level.

But it was Aisha they met.

Fighting was the easiest thing for Elsa. The two men in black robes rushed towards Elsa, one in front and one behind, one on the left and one on the right. Together with other men in black robes, they blocked the way for others to support Elsa and Elsa to escape.

——This scene made Lucas and Moore's eyes bloodshot.

They opened their mouths wide, wanting to tell those people that there was no way they could be a match for the pastor woman with only two of them.

But they were speechless, so they could only watch the two men rush towards Aisha.

It was the same tactic. Thick smoke exploded under the feet of Elsa and the others, and then they rushed over with the help of the thick smoke. Unlike ordinary people, blood slaves have a strong sense of blood, heartbeat, smell, and sound, so they choose to fight in a way that actively blinds their eyes, which will catch most people off guard.

The first person was a swordsman. He rushed forward steadily and quickly, holding a gleaming silver straight sword. With a light shout, the magical light in his hand immediately climbed up along the sword's edge. He was a magic swordsman who used magic to amplify the sword to fight. He was powerful and had many methods. Ordinary silver-level adventurers would find it difficult to meet him.

He took a step sideways as he came up, and the strength of his legs and arms merged together through his strong waist, then he suddenly slashed at Elsa's neck with a powerful and heavy knife. A dazzling arc of light flashed violently. He knew that the longer the night, the more trouble he would have, and he never underestimated the team that could defeat Lucas and Moore, so he did not hold back at all and directly used his ultimate move.

"Die!"

he shouted.

However, the dazzling arc of light suddenly stopped halfway down, and then went out in an instant with a swish - Elsa swung a punch, and he widened his eyes, watching with his own eyes as the blade of his sword shattered into half, then flew out of his hand and pierced his chest.

puff--

The swordsman spat out blood foam in disbelief and extreme reluctance, staring at Elsa, his veins bulging with pain and fear of death. His hand was dislocated and he couldn't even move it.

"You...you're not..."

Only then did he finally remember that Moore seemed eager to remind them of something just now.

Obviously, they fell into the trap!

The swordsman knew that his heart and lungs were punctured and he was doomed, but he still took a step back and shouted, "Be careful, she..."

Elsa took a step forward, turned around, and kicked back, hitting him directly on the chin. He had only said half of his words when he felt his jaw tighten. A huge force pushed his chin up and hit it with a crisp sound that made his teeth ache. Half of his white teeth were instantly broken, and a piece of his tongue was bitten off. He turned his head 270 degrees and fell to the ground.

"Ru..."

The swordsman's face was black and blue. He tried to look up at Elsa. He felt as if his brain was shattered. He wanted to speak but the strong feeling of dizziness and suffocation made him unable to make a sound. He staggered to his feet, staggered again, and fell in front of Elsa with a thud.

Swordsman, pawn.

The second person had just broken through the thick smoke and rushed to Elsa's side. He was good at using hidden weapons, and it was easy for people to be hit in the thick smoke. But as soon as he arrived, he saw the swordsman falling in front of Elsa's feet in a running posture. He was immediately overwhelmed with grief and clenched his teeth.

"You will pay for what you have done!"

The two throwing knives in his hands suddenly popped out and pierced Elsa's neck and heart, but Elsa easily dodged them by turning sideways. Then he felt a shock under his feet, and his eyes blurred. Elsa had appeared in front of him, raising the pure white shepherd's staff.

But he was still drawing the throwing knife from his waist.

The pure white shepherd's staff grew bigger and bigger in front of his eyes. With a muffled sound, he let out a strange cry and was suddenly knocked to the ground with his head tilted back. His nose was broken, a blood mark appeared from his chin to his forehead, and his front teeth fell out.

"You...how could you..."

He looked horrified. How could this be the strength a priest should have?

Elsa didn't explain, she just raised her staff and hit him again, knocking him unconscious.

"Are these your reinforcements?" Aisha then smiled and looked at Lucas and Moore, whose faces were filled with bitterness. "Come to think of it, when did you send out the signal?"

As she spoke, Aisha raised the corners of her mouth.

"Or... your 'master' is in this underground palace?"

Lucas and Muir's faces turned pale.

Elsa already had the answer.

The so-called "master" is the vampire with whom they signed a blood contract. He is the foundation of life for these blood slaves. If the "master" dies, the blood slaves will not survive.

Generally speaking, if the distance is not too far, the master can roughly feel the status of the blood slave, but vampires rarely follow the blood slaves, because for vampires, blood slaves are not worth mentioning at all. They just give orders and don't care about the rest.

It seems that there is another vampire in this underground palace, but I don’t know where he is.

Elsa didn't think any more and put away the staff in her hand. Instead, she took out a spear. Seeing this, Moore and Lucas couldn't help but understand that this priest was just a gunman. Elsa glanced at their pale faces and plunged into the thick smoke.

Then there was a burst of screams one after another. Lucas and Moore stared at the white fog numbly, tears in their eyes.

They couldn't close their mouths and couldn't even cry.

74. Beat Them Up [Fourth Update]

Fifteen minutes later, the sealed hall—

When Celihilda saw a long line of people in black robes following Elsa, she was slightly stunned.

Those black-robed men looked dejected, and most of them were injured. When they saw Serrihilda, their shoulders trembled, and they were obviously frightened - it was unclear whether they were frightened by Serrihilda or by the seal of the demon general on the central platform.

"so much?"

"These are the attackers we captured. This is all thanks to Mary, Vivian, and Filia," Elsa said with a slight bow. "However, we accidentally killed a few during the battle, so we only brought back these. They are all blood slaves."

As she spoke, Elsa's eyes were drawn to the dark red tumor on the platform in the middle.

Through the seal, Elsa could not feel the rich and turbid aura of magic at all, but she knew that the ominous creature filled with blood and darkness should be the Demon General. It was very different from the Demon General that Elsa imagined, galloping around like a reincarnated killer. It did not bring people a sense of invincible terror. Elsa only felt that the sight of the tumors squeezing together and wriggling was really disgusting.

As for the monster corpses near the platform and on the ground below, they should have been killed by the sage. The neat cross-sections were probably caused by some powerful magic, right?

Aisha couldn't imagine what kind of ability that was.

At this time, Mary, Vivian and Filia were waiting outside the sealed hall. After all, this was where the demon general was sealed, and they had no right to enter without the permission of the sage.

"Well done, Sister Faris. You are truly special."
