Throne of Magical Arcana

——Today, the first update asks for a monthly ticket, and it will still be the fourth update! The gap has been widened, please help!

…………………………………………………………………

The feather duster-like flail was very heavy, and Lucien couldn't swing it easily with his current strength, and the elemental damage that came with its two flail heads was equally powerful, far exceeding Lucien's "Acid Splash" and "blazing glue".

Seeing that the corpses split into many small pieces after being hit by the flail were either burned to ashes or dissolved into a viscous liquid in the flames and acid, Lucien was a little scared: "If there is no moonlight and be killed If this flail hits directly, I will definitely suffer severe elemental damage, and it is definitely not something that can heal itself in a short time."

But even though moonlighting greatly weakened the damage of flame, acid and flail, the remaining physical and lightning damage caused Lucien to suffer serious injuries, and even his hands and feet were still trembling slightly, unable to completely eliminate the paralysis .

"It seems that you need to bathe in the silver moon for at least half an hour to recover." Lucien swallowed a tube of "Owl" while whipping, recovering the huge mental power consumed by casting spells without spells just now.

Under the attack of the magic flail, all the corpses turned into a puddle of strangely colored liquid in less than thirty seconds, and the ashes from the burning were flying in the air.

There were still a few fragments of Jason's black leather armor, but the crystal ball was destroyed by Lucien without hesitation, fearing that if he took it away, he would be tracked by the cultists.

Then, Lucien kicked over the water bucket in the cell, pretending to be a cult member who accidentally knocked it down after hastily retreating, and the clear water flowing out of it washed away the corpse liquid smoothly with the help of a few pieces of debris.

While doing all this, Lucien was distracted listening to the sounds of explosions and battles on the surface. At this time, their directions and positions changed greatly, letting Lucien know that Camille and the people from the church had already fought. The personnel outside the "Silver Horn" were retreated, and they were about to chase into the ruins, so they didn't dare to delay any longer. They moved the unconscious Joel and Alisa back to Ivan inside the iron railing, and then picked up the flail and fragments, Walk to the door of the "prison", recite the mantra in a low voice, and use the change of heat and cold to perform the "blowing technique" to blow away the dust inside and blow it into the corridors and corridors outside.

This apprentice-level magic cannot blow away the smoke caused by supernatural forces, etc., and can only be used to create atmosphere and such occasions.

After dealing with the scene, Lucien took the flail and rushed to the nearest exit. This is a remote location of the ruins palace. The exit is far away from the core and key locations of the temple. If you leave here, you will hardly encounter cult priests or priests. and The Dark Knight.

"Without this flail, those corpses would have to be moved out for disposal." Lucien ran fast, dragging out afterimages, while recalling the whole process, fearing that there might be mistakes, "I have done everything I can do, now I can only pray that Uncle Joel and the others are not so unlucky. The other cult members are too busy escaping for their lives to come to the prison to help." After all, there is a dark knight named Jason in charge of the prison.

And if the Joel family was rescued directly, doubts would entangle Lucien without any hindrance.

The afterimage flashed past, and Lucien quickly approached the nearest exit in the corridors and corridors of the ruins, but what surprised Lucien was that he didn't meet a cultist!

…………

In the underground palace, since the silver-robed high priest Ilya gave the order, the remaining priests, priests, and dark knights began to process the traces.

Inside a stone house.

Seeing a priest running into their room, several ordinary cultists quickly prostrated themselves on the ground, stretching their hands forward, performing the unique etiquette of the "Silver Horn": "Dear Priest Jerome, what are your orders... "

Before they finished speaking, their voices stopped abruptly, and a cloud of black mist emerged from their bodies, taking away all vitality, and then penetrated into Jerome's body.

Seeing the terrified and unbelievable distorted expressions of these ordinary believers, Priest Jerome shrugged his shoulders: "You belong to the traces that need to be dealt with."

Things have changed beyond High Priest Ilia's expectations. At this critical juncture, ordinary cultists will definitely not be able to escape from the church. Therefore, they must be "handled" to avoid leaking information about priests, priests, and ruins.

Jerome turned and left the room, and ran directly to the exit. After all, it is very tedious and time-consuming to find ordinary believers in the room. It is not a good choice for this moment when every minute and every second is extremely precious. Get rid of the cultists near the entrance of the ranger's hut before they get caught by the night watchmen before they reach the other exits.

Of course, Jerome didn't dare to deal with the room that was too close to the entrance of the forest ranger's hut. "Dark Blue Tide" Camille and the two cardinals were chasing after him. "Eternal Silence" cannot adopt such a stupid method.

"Anyway, if a few powerful characters of level 6 or 7 fight, the room there will definitely be completely destroyed, and no one will survive." Jerome comforted himself while using magic to bless his body and increase his speed.

…………

It was very close to the exit of the ruins, and he could even feel the light of the silver moon shining in there, but Lucien suddenly stopped and hid in a shadowy corner, because he could smell the smell of blood and death from the moonlight.

Although Lucien had long expected that he would encounter obstacles from the priests or priests of the cult here, he still couldn't help being surprised: "Has there been a battle already? Internal strife within the cult?"

Quietly approaching the exit, Lucien carefully eavesdropped.

In less than a minute, Lucien heard several footsteps running towards the exit, and some cultists even passed through the shadowy corner where Lucien was hiding, but without exception, they all heard only footsteps when they reached the exit. There was a sound of falling to the ground, and an occasional scream.

"Someone ambushed? No, how could the church rush to this exit so quickly, and its behavior is not the same. Could it be that the powerful cultists are dealing with ordinary believers?" Lucien guessed a little creepily, then did not force his way in, and quietly Waiting for the opportunity.

As long as they are not members of the church, no matter if they are cult priests, priests, or other mysterious people, they will definitely evacuate in time when Camille, Cardinal, and Night Watchmen are chasing them. It is impossible to joke about their lives. It's fine to live here.

As time passed by, various strange sounds from the underground ruins came from time to time, some of which were even getting closer, which made Lucien feel a little impatient and anxious.

Finally, there was a supernatural power fluctuation near the exit, and Lucien immediately became focused.

Then a gloomy voice sounded: "Go, High Priest Ilya told us to leave immediately, there should be no believers who can't come over in time."

"But didn't see Jason?" Another young but hoarse voice answered.

The cold voice said hastily: "Do we still have to wait for him at this time? Whether he is dead or rushing towards the night watchman violently and madly, we can't wait any longer."

"Okay, leave." The young hoarse voice also understood the urgency of the matter.

Then, there was silence near the exit, making it impossible for Lucien to judge whether they had left or not.

However, such silence also made Lucien heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that the strength of these two cultists had not yet reached the level of priests. Destroying the exit would take them a lot of effort and waste a lot of time, so no similar thoughts arose.

Such a solid underground ruin cannot be destroyed by low-level magic like "Miniature Fossilization into Mud".

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is normal. How could priest-level powerhouses come to guard such a remote exit, and most priests and great knights have participated in surface battles, and there are definitely not many who can come back.

Unable to judge whether the two cultists really left, Lucien hesitated, but thinking of the night watchman who was about to catch up, he decided to fight. Unless the two strong cultists knew that they were hiding here in advance, they would not come again. Delay time and pretend to leave, after all, the ordinary believers who need to deal with cannot discover their previous ambush.

The body glowed with a silvery white light, quickly blurring, Lucien kicked suddenly, turned into an afterimage and ran towards the exit.

After the moonlight melted, Lucien's afterimage was very similar to the light of the silver moon shining in, making it hard to detect.

Turning around the corner of the corridor, Lucien saw the moonlight exit and the bushes outside.

In the extreme vigilance and vigilance, Lucien, whose afterimage almost melted into the moonlight, walked through the exit and breathed the fresh air with a slightly earthy smell.

There were more than a dozen corpses of cultists lying in the bushes outside, the surroundings were quiet, and there were no supernatural forces that Lucien was guarding against.

With a little relaxation, Lucien looked up at the silver moon and a few stars, judged his position, then turned around and went into the black forest, fleeing in the direction of the forest ranger's hut.

This is not a self-inflicted trap, but Lucien's choice after calm judgment:

There should not be many survivors of the night watchmen, and they don't know where the exit is, and they can't go around to block it from the ground, so they must be hunting in the underground ruins. Fleeing towards the ranger's hut by himself happened to be everyone's blind spot.

Of course, before the next batch of night watchmen arrived, they had to run from the forest ranger's hut into the Black Forest across the Marsol River.

…………

The heavy flail somewhat affected Lucien's speed, but bathed in the light of the silver moon, it not only improved Lucien's speed and strength, but also allowed him to recover quickly from his injuries. In addition, running wildly in the Black Forest didn't have to be like running in the dark forest. The extreme caution was the same in the ruins, so a few minutes later, Lucien rushed back to the ranger's hut, and saw that the surrounding 500 meters were completely scorched, and the trees, shrubs, vines, animals, and insects were all destroyed.

Taking a casual glance at the surviving strange-shaped corpses, Lucien suddenly found that one of them looked familiar, at least his black and torn coat with a hood looked familiar:

"Fire wolf?"

Heartbroken, Lucien ran over quickly and saw a young man's face distorted in extreme fear. His throat had been cut open. Other than that, the other wounds were more like being wounded by magic or sorcery after death. The battle spread.

After confirming his identity from his figure and magic items, Lucien used "magic tricks" to manipulate the half-clotted blood on his body, leaving four blood-red words on the surface of his corpse:

"The End of the Betrayer."

"professor."
