Chapter 185 – The Attack of the Ultimate Preacher
Chapter 185 – Attack of the Ultimate Preacher
Dog’s broken-voiced roar exploded like thunder, echoing through the dilapidated hut, while the attackers, clad in tattered black robes as if they were ascetics, were obviously shocked after hearing a Profound Demon actually have the sense to spit out human words – and the next moment, something even more shocking happened to them.
Shirley threw her chains, and swung the Profound Hound in her hand roundly at the nearest “preacher of the end of the world”.
She didn’t really know much about the Preachers of the End, but only knew that they were a group of cultists, and they were even crazier and more extreme, worshipping the “Lord” of subspace itself. Shelly didn’t know why a group of crazy people like this suddenly appeared in the city-state of Prand, and even more so, she didn’t know why this group of crazy people found themselves, but It didn’t matter–
Her experience in the gutter has taught her one thing: when in danger, don’t think about the things you can’t figure out, just get the hell out of the way and do it!
The massive Profound Hound whistled through the air like a cannonball, instantly smashing into the body of a “preacher” clad in tattered black robes, and after the muffled sound of flesh and bones colliding, the assailant instantly flew backwards, and solidly crashed into a pillar not far away, twisting his body into a strange angle before sliding down to the ground.
Shirley yanked on her chain, dragging Dog back to her side, and then swung round again to smash the next enemy.
But in just a split second, the black-robed figures had already reacted – they were clearly more experienced in combat than the lowest-level Sunists that Shirley had seen before, and even after a brief moment of dismay at being confronted with an extremely rare fighting style, the group quickly regrouped and scattered to dodge the moment the Phantom Hound came crashing down on them. The moment the Profound Hound pounced on them, they scattered and dodged in all directions.
One of them almost brushed against Dog’s skeletal head and dodged aside, while raising his hand to point at Shirley, and a hoarse and gloomy shout came from under his hood, “Thou shalt run out of strength!”
“God chattering yell a you X a hammer ah!” Shirley at the moment is extreme irritability, heard the other side of this God chattering voice suddenly more and more anger surged, pad step wringing waist a turn, the hands of the chain will whistling thrown out, Dog’s skeleton body thumped on the strange screaming final preacher, the latter smashed backward flew out.
However, it was this three or two flings of the chains that Shirley suddenly noticed something wrong with her body.
She felt a slight fatigue, it wasn’t too serious, but exhaustion did appear.
At the same time, she also felt her mind buzzing, her own anger rushing across her heart as if uncontrollable, an impulse to completely abandon any defense and directly charge up to die with the enemy pulsing violently, almost making her dizzy.
Creaks and clicks of strange sounds suddenly came into the ears, Shirley looked at the sound, and saw that the assailant who had just been smashed out by himself had actually climbed up from the ground, and the other party was drenched in blood, and a lot of bones had obviously been broken, but this “preacher” seemed to ignore the pain that was enough to make an ordinary person faint, and while his body was covered in blood, he raised his hands up: “I’m sorry…”. Raised his hands: “My hands and feet will not die from the curse of flesh and blood!”
After this godly shout, those Final Preachers around them instantly seemed to have gained infinite courage and strength, and in the next second, Shirley was shocked to see that these madmen’s bodies began to change – their skinny and bony bodies began to swell and twist, and thick bone spikes and tough sinewy whips grew and lengthened like weapons from their limbs grew and lengthened, their torsos ripped and reshaped in great agony, becoming abhorrent and twisted and blasphemous – and yet it was as if these maniacs had fallen into some kind of inexplicable state of ecstasy in the midst of this agonizing process, as they cheered, shouted, and praised, and the next thing they knew, they were swooping down in Shirley’s direction.
“What the fuck is this shit!” Of course Sherry didn’t sit around and wait for these attackers to mess up, at the same time as the first Final Preacher’s body began to change, she swung her chains around with a whirring sound and slammed Dog into the closest enemy, the other party was smashed into her with a broken tendon, and even though they didn’t die on the spot, they instantly interrupted the process of the mutation, however, just by lifting her hand just this one time, Sherry felt an even more pronounced fatigue than just a few moments ago, the A sharper, more agonizingly frenzied impulse came to her head than just now as well.
She even began to hear non-existent noises, and the muscles all over her body felt as if they were being gnawed on by invisible sharp teeth, so intense and violent that every bundle of muscle fibers felt as if they were about to leave her body.
“These ‘preachers’ are madmen who voluntarily embrace subspace! Their words and figures carry pollution!” Dog’s voice suddenly sounded in Sherry’s mind with unprecedented urgency, “Don’t let them keep pushing! You smash whichever bastard opens his mouth! Don’t meet their eyes, don’t listen to their shouting!”
In a flash of lightning, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared at the edge of Shirley’s vision, she tried to dodge with her instincts, but she was still stabbed in the arm by a bone splinter, and as she hastily swung her chains to counterattack, she felt that her arms and legs were twice as heavy as they were just a few moments ago, and this time the world in her eyes even began to appear as a black reimagining.
Another Final Preacher then took the opportunity to open his arms once again, and loudly blessed the evil words, “Thou shalt be wounded and hard to heal ……”
“Bang!”
“Fuck off!” Shirley swung her dog round and smashed this crazy “preacher” who had mutated into a monster with bone spikes into the wall, and the next second, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back.
A bone splinter like a lance came from a sinister dead end, piercing deeply into her back, if not for the fact that her own body had already become as tough and resistant as that of a profound demon during the many years of “demonic symbiosis”, she feared that she would have been pierced through and through with this blow.
Shirley’s body involuntarily lunged forward, while Dog beside her violently blocked in front of the attacker who wanted to pursue, and opened her mouth to spit out a very corrosive mixture of black flames and acid.
The attacker was temporarily forced back, but Sherry’s state was very bad, she held onto the nearby wall to support her body, feeling the blood continuously flowing down her back, feeling her muscles twitching uncontrollably.
The End Preacher’s contamination had still played a role – even though the resistance brought by the Spectral Demon had made her more tolerant of this abnormal state than an ordinary person, due to the weakening and curses she had suffered from being caught off-guard in the beginning, it was now clear that she could feel her body gradually… …spiraling out of control. Her blood was boiling, the noise in her head was higher than a noise, her muscles were twitching, and she saw that smoke had risen from the gash in her arm, and in the smoke, instead of healing, the blossoming flesh and blood were gradually sprouting ugly and disgusting buds, and the blood was writhing and coagulating and molding around the wound as if it had a separate life.
I’m afraid the wound on his back is in a similar state.
“…… F*ck, after all this effort, only three …… were taken out.”
Sherry spat blood to the side, grimacing and grinning as she chanted.
“Not bad at all,” Dog grunted from the sidelines, the spectral hound’s voice sounding a bit shriveled – as the first barrier when Sherry suffered from contamination, it was actually more severely affected by those Endbringers, the preachers of the Endbringers. “These are cleric level ascetics, not the kind of rabble that piles up in the basement for meetings to be lulled into donating money …… You fought with them, pretty much the equivalent of a strong attack on an urban church …… for a Not a loss at all.”
“X’s, a bunch of such a large adult, surrounded me a harmless little girl, adults really shameless,” Shirley raised her head, face full of blood looked at those who are gathering around themselves in the final preachers, eyes only ferocious, “I invited you to mess with you? ”
There were still three Endbringer Preachers still standing, and they had all been transformed into skeletonized, bloody and hideous monsters at this moment, and their tattered robes hung like shrouds on their deformed and mutated bodies, appearing more and more ghastly and horrifying in the dimness.
They didn’t respond to Sherry, of course, just as a hunter doesn’t negotiate with his prey.
Shirley coughed up blood and looked up and around.
The battle in the room had moved loudly, yet so far it hadn’t attracted the attention of the guardsmen, much less disturbed the neighbors, the windows were still in that hazy state, and the streets were unusually quiet.
Obviously, the whole house was covered by some kind of “barrier”, and these attackers had made very thorough preparations before striking.
The furniture was destroyed.
The walls and pillars were crumbling.
The only closet had been smashed to pieces by one of the aftermaths of the battle, and the few clothes inside and the small drawer where the change had been stashed fell to the floor, stained with blood and corroded away by acid.
The most valuable oil lamp in the house had also been knocked over, its shade shattered all over the floor.
“That’s all I got, smashed to pieces by you guys,” Shirley finally couldn’t support herself and her body slowly slid down towards the floor, but she still tilted her head back and looked at her enemy who had already lifted his bone spikes towards her and was ready to strike, “Bastard shit, I’m going to make sure I get a faceful of blood on you later on! ……”
The bone spikes came down in the air.
Then it decelerated in the blink of an eye, delaying a heavy, overlapping phantom, and finally coming to rest in mid-air.
A flash of green blaze suddenly appeared in the room that should have been completely shrouded by the barrier, and in the blaze, huge and hideous skeleton birds circled and fluttered in mid-air, and a piercing and strangely shrill female voice reached Shirley’s ears-
“Our warriors are engaging the enemy …… Teleportation successful!”
(Time to push the book, this time it’s “I Spread Faith Within the Word Game” from Goose Who Loves to See Snow, urban genre, emmmmm…… It’s a salvation novel that grows in both directions between the word game and the reality, the author is still one of the bookworms, so you can go and support it~)
