Volume 3 Obsidian Chapter 217: The Power of Portraits

"asshole!"
The monk was furious.
The player holding the donation box was also stunned.
At this moment, bursts of gunfire, clanging of swords, fighting and shouting were heard outside the hall.
The believers in the hall felt a little scared and could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground, praying more devoutly and diligently, hoping to gain the protection of Lady Rose.
The monk glanced coldly at the man in the black hat, who was sitting on the first row of wooden chairs, crossing his legs, looking leisurely and contented. He even took out a book and started reading quietly.
"Go out and see what's going on!"
The monk gave cold orders to the players around him to guard.
"yes!"
The player put down the donation box, looked at Jack twice, and then ran out the door.
But a player from the same guild rushed into the hall first, covered in blood and looking panic-stricken.
"Those guys are chasing us from Bingnuo Town! They have already entered the church's outer courtyard!"
"ah?!"
The impoverished residents of the town began to tremble in panic, their heads pressed against the ground, confessing the wrong things they had done.
The middle-aged monk didn't know what happened exactly, but after hearing what the player said, he roughly understood that someone attacked the church.
"You! Go and inform Father O'Connell! And call the other two monks as well! The heavily armored guards, come out with me!"
The monk immediately gave orders, and the player guard who was named responded and turned around and ran inside.
Four heavily armored guards followed the monk and left the hall together.
In the outer courtyard of the church at this time.
Dongyang and his players had already charged in. The players guarding the Lost Name Guild were unable to resist at all. The nearly one hundred muskets beat them into a pulp.
"You blasphemers! How dare you!"
A loud shout rang out.
The middle-aged monk came out of the hall with four heavily-armored guards. After seeing the chaotic scene, he became furious.
"The little boss is coming!"
The dog-headed gold shouted.
"Well done! Brothers, shoot!"
Dongyang waved his hand.
The many players standing behind him immediately raised their hands, aimed at the middle-aged monk and pulled the trigger.
There were crackling explosions, flames, and bullets rained down like a storm.
The monk felt a chill down his spine when he was targeted by nearly a hundred muskets. He immediately ordered four heavily-armored guards to stand in front of him like a metal wall.
Ding ding dong dong...!!
Dense amounts of small steel balls flew over, creating countless dents and sparks on the heavily armored guards' bodies.
The steps where the monk was standing were plowed by the storm of bullets, with debris flying everywhere and the steps collapsing and flattening, but the four heavily armored guards were only slightly injured and the monk was unharmed.
"The musket has limited effect on this heavily armored monster!"
Goutoujin had some experience in this regard, so he spoke up to give a reminder.
Just at this moment, dense and heavy footsteps were heard.
Da da da...!
The other two monks of the church also led more than fifty heavily armored guards to surround the church hall from both sides. They were holding long spears and halberds, and each of them was tall and strong, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
"Fuck! So many heavily armored monsters!"
Wang Wangji was startled, and the other players holding muskets were also very nervous. Although they felt that attacking the church was very exciting, it was the first time they had experienced such a scene in person.
The famous deputy, Landon, led his players and went out of the church from somewhere unknown, blocking the retreat of Dongyang and others.
Almost every one of them was holding two rotten hounds, and at first glance, all they saw were fluttering red cloths.
"Oh my goodness...this is trouble!"
The centaur wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at the enemies all around him.
Dongyang, Chenxi and others also looked solemn.
They had long anticipated that this hidden B-level mainline mission would not be so simple. They did not expect that the church branch here would hide such a terrifying power!
This is going to be a tough battle!
"——Chen Xi, Dog-Headed Gold and Forgotten Wuji, your two guilds will be responsible for dealing with the enemies behind us. Get rid of them as soon as possible and break out!"
Dongyang spoke and gave orders in the chat room.
"——There are three church monks ahead, all of them are extraordinary beings, and there are dozens of heavily armored monsters. Ordinary players' muskets are not easy to deal with. We, the Heroic Spirit Pavilion, are responsible for holding them back!"
"--learn!"
"--receive!"
After a brief battle exchange, most of the nearly 100 people rushed towards Landon and his men who were blocking the door. The players raised their loaded muskets and fired at each other.
There was a continuous sound of gunfire, but the Lost Name player, who had been prepared, took out a round shield to protect his head, chest and abdomen.
Ding ding dong!
Wood chips flying everywhere!
The sporadic steel balls hit the iron edge of the round shield, creating bright sparks!
The players on Chenxi and Gnoll's side were stunned. They didn't expect that the other party had already found a countermeasure.
"Charge! Kill them all!"
"Release the dogs! Release the dogs!!"
Landon laughed out loud. He was in a good mood after finally seeing this group of people suffer a setback.
Woof woof...!
A large number of corrupt hounds swarmed in, and before Chuxi and Shen'ai's players had time to reload their guns, they were pounced on and killed by seven or eight people.
"Brothers! It's time to show the power of our 'Hercules'!"
The dog-headed gold roared.
He pulled out a needle with his left hand and stabbed himself in the shoulder.
【Thirsty blood needle】!
The quest reward given by Mr. Jack can provide a weak physical lifesucking effect.
The dog-headed golden man held a bottle of crimson potion in his right hand, popped the cork, and drank it with his head tilted back.
Gurgle gurgle...!
[Beef Power Bottle]!
Can transform into a minotaur, increase attributes, and greatly improve blood recovery effect in a short period of time.
“Hahhhh!!”
The Dog-Headed Gold roared, and at the same time released his extraordinary power as [Sequence 9 - Butcher].
In just two breaths, his figure rose up, his muscles swelled, and he became a three-meter-tall, four-armed minotaur with two horns on his head and two arms on his back!
Not only that, Forgotten Wuji and the five team members trained by the "Hercules Cult" beside him also followed suit, raised the potion and drank it, and all turned into tall minotaurs!
"Hercules, show your power! Get out of the way!"
The Minotaur's eyes were red, and he roared and pushed away his companions who were blocking his way.
This scene deeply shocked Landon and everyone in the Lost Name Guild.
"What the hell are these things?!"
BANG!!
With one punch, Dog-Headed Gold smashed the Rotten Hound that pounced on him into pieces. With his four arms, he grabbed the neck of the hound that was about to bite its companion and threw it casually, knocking down a group of Lost Name players.
It caused an exclamation.
"The Minotaur is coming!"
Several hounds pounced on the dog-headed gold and tore it to pieces after just two bites. The wounds on the dog-headed gold also recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was an immortal bull monster!
Forgotten Wuji and his subordinates, a total of six huge minotaurs, charged in the opposite direction. Those rotten hounds were like toys run over by a bulldozer, flying everywhere and howling.
"Hercules is invincible! Minotaur is invincible!"
The players of the God's Love Guild cheered.
Those players who joined the "Hercules Cult" group of Dog-Head Gold and Forgotten Wuji also shouted to cheer them on.
If the two "leaders" had limited potions on hand, they could all transform into minotaurs and join the battle.
"Go to hell, you disgraced little bastard!"
The dog-headed gold beast raised a player from the Lost Name Guild with its four arms, pulled him hard, and performed the "four-cow dismemberment" torture.
The player turned into white light in the fear of being dismembered. I believe that after his resurrection, this experience will still cause him a great deal of psychological trauma.
"Zhao! What kind of valuable thing is this?! It's so fucking scary!"
The players who lost their reputation retreated one after another. At this moment, they forgot that the other party was also a player. It was as if they were trapped in a BOSS battle, and the psychological pressure suddenly increased.
Seeing this, Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
She commanded the female players of Chuxi to hide behind the Minotaur and shoot, and then took the opportunity to throw fireballs at the place where the enemies gathered.
The scene was in chaos.
On the other hand, let’s look at the front battlefield in Dongyang.
"die!"
Dongyang shouted angrily and punched the heavily armored guard in the chest, making a loud clanging sound.
The heavily armored guard in front of him had a sunken chest, and was slightly reddened by the heat of his fist. Blood seeped from the gaps in his helmet, and he staggered to the ground.
But the next second, before he could react, one of his arms was "bitten off" by the monk's palm!
"ah!"
Dongyang leaped back to create some distance, covering his broken arm.
The monk in front of him looked at him coldly, and a big mouth full of sharp teeth appeared in the center of his raised palm. The lips and teeth opened and closed, constantly gnawing at his broken arm, leaving a bloody mess.
Ding ding!
The centaur was holding a long-handled soup spoon and exchanged a few moves with a monk. He was then knocked away by a punch and fell to the ground in a mess.
He got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He didn't have time to chat privately in the chat room, and shouted anxiously:
“Vice-Chairman! We can’t hold on any longer! These three monks are all [Sequence 8] transcendents! Our brothers’ muskets have no effect on those heavily armored monsters!”
Dongyang endured the pain, turned his head and roared:
"Brothers of the Heroic Spirit Pavilion, wear gloves when using fire! Don't be afraid of accidental injuries!"
Then speak in the chat room as quickly as possible:
"——I'll take the bomb and exchange the monk's life for his!"
The other players were all shocked.
Have the Vice President and his men been pushed to this extent? !
"——Vice President! Don't forget that we bought the painting from Jack on the train!"
When Kuang Ben Kuang saw Dongyang preparing to self-destruct, he immediately spoke up to remind him.
Dongyang was slightly stunned.
"Yeah! How could I have forgotten this?!"
Boom boom!!
Countless flames spurted out from the players' gloves, and the dozen or so heavily-armored guards at the front bore the brunt of the attack, covered in orange-yellow flames.
The iron armor that is not afraid of bullets cannot defend against these flames. Under the high temperature burning, the heavy armor is like a mobile oven, cooking the flesh inside alive!
“Ah! Ahhhh…!”
The heavily-armored guards let out dull and miserable howls, then fell to the ground with their bodies reddened. Their corpses emitted heat waves and white smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of cooked meat. It was a horrible sight.
"Humph! Damn heretic, accept your trial!"
The three monks couldn't bear to watch and took action immediately.
They have amazing physical fitness and move very quickly. They can reach the players in one leap.
The next second, the players turned their guns and gloves around, and bullets and flames came towards them.
But the monks raised their hands and the big mouths in their palms actually sucked in and ate all the flames and bullets, making creepy clinking sounds while chewing.
Immediately, the three monks rushed into the group of players and were about to start a massacre.
"Damn it! Go to hell!"
Dongyang also became furious. He cursed, took out the ten paintings and threw them out.
Buzz!!
Suddenly, a rapid and low roar was heard in the field.
Ten dark figures rushed out from the portrait and rushed to the three monks at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind streaks of cold light.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!
The three monks were besieged by ten black shadows. The sharp edges of countless daggers were like drizzle, and the hissing sound continued in the ears.
They waved their hands to resist, but only dispersed the black shadow, while more and more bloody scratches appeared on their bodies.
A few breaths passed in a flash.
Ten black shadows dissipated, and ten oil paintings in the air fell down weakly, and the faces of Golov and Patton on them became blurred.
"You... you damn heretics!!"
The three monks had grim expressions and were breathing heavily.
Although his body was covered with scars, he did not seem to have been seriously injured.
Dongyang and others were unwilling to give in. They didn't expect that they failed to kill the other party.
What they didn't know was that Golov and Barton were only [Sequence 9] Beyonders after all, and the oil paintings only preserved a small part of their power. The reason why they were able to inflict such injuries on the three Red Apple Church monks was because there were enough oil paintings.
"I'm here to help you!"
Chen Xi suddenly rushed over.
The battle in the rear had been brutally crushed by Goutoujin and his men, so she freed her hands. Seeing that Dongyang and the others could not hold on, Chenxi threw out the oil painting belonging to Furoi.
A blonde blind girl in a black cloak appeared and raised the black and purple scythe in her hand, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"careful!"
The monk reminded loudly.
But the sickle had already been swung, and an invisible and sharp edge flashed across, and the three monks stood still as if struck by lightning.
"puff……!"
The three men knelt down weakly and spat out blood.
"Our souls... have been severely damaged!"
Their eyes were red, their faces were covered with blue veins, and after their souls were cut, their bodies also suffered inexplicable injuries.
Floy's figure disappeared.
But the three monks were also seriously injured and their strength was greatly reduced.
Polaris suddenly jumped out at this time, his right hand turned into a crocodile head, and bit a monk's neck fiercely.
"die!"
He kicked his feet and flipped his body several times like a crocodile hunting its prey, directly tearing the monk's body apart.
The other two monks were startled and wanted to resist but found that their hands and feet were powerless. The next second, Polaris' crocodile bite had already struck!
After two shrill screams, Polaris bit off their heads with its palm!
"We actually killed three [Sequence 8] transcendents!"
Dongyang, Chenxi and others felt incredible when they saw Polaris with blood on his hands.
They used the circus painting to directly injure the church monks, and finally North Star sneaked up to kill them. This series of cooperation was perfect, which amazed other players.
"The oil painting I exchanged from Jack is so damn useful!"
The centaur chuckled.
He glanced at Polaris who was holding the head, and he rolled his eyes.
"Of course, the Polaris brothers are awesome too!"
The death of three monks basically declared the end of this battle. Many heavily armored guards were still fighting with the players, but they were just desperate resistance .
The raging flames continued, and the entire church seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​hellfire. Many places had been set on fire, but no one paid attention at the moment, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
In the church hall.
The fire had spread inside, and many wooden benches were burning.
But the townspeople remained indifferent and even prostrated themselves on the ground praying, as if they would rather be burned to death by the flames than leave.
Chen Lun looked at these innocent townspeople, sighed, and put down the book in his hand.
He slowly stood up, flicked the shell necklace on his chest and whistled. The hypnotic sound waves spread, and the townspeople were startled and stood up one after another.
"You all leave here through the back door, and then go to the second block ahead, where there is an abandoned department store... Someone will accommodate you there."
Chen Lun's voice echoed in the church hall.
The "department store" he mentioned was actually the headquarters of the Youdou Town shelter. Although many people had been evacuated due to the raging plague, it was still not a problem to provide these ordinary people with a place to stay.
Not all residents of these towns are believers of the Red Apple Church. After suffering from the plague, they have lost their place to live. This church has become their lifeline, and they pray for shelter.
Chen Lun didn't want to see them die here in vain because of his own bottom line.
“Thank you! Thank you…!”
The residents of the town cried bitterly, not knowing whether Chen Lun had become an angel or a god in their eyes after being hypnotized. One after another, they obediently escaped through the back door.
Chen Lun's eyes remained calm as he glanced at them, then turned and left.



In the courtyard in front of the church, the battle was almost over.
The church's Rot Hounds and Heavy Armored Guards were killed, leaving only a few of them, and no longer posed a threat. The players of the Lost Name Guild also went offline in large numbers because they had run out of resurrections.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Landon planned to evacuate with the remaining troops.
“Damn the Heroic Spirit Pavilion! And Shen Ai and Chu Xi! They actually openly attacked the Red Apple Church…! How dare they! How dare they!”
At the same time, he really couldn't understand how Dongyang and his team had the strength to fight against a small town church after only two or three months of public beta testing.
Even three [Sequence 8] monks died at their hands!
"And what good will this do them! Are the think tanks of their guild all a bunch of idiots?"
Landon was exhausted both physically and mentally, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
The Lost Name Guild's accumulation in Bingnuo Town and Youdou Town was almost completely destroyed in these two attacks. Both its contribution to the church and the levels that its members had worked so hard to reach dropped.
Dog-headed Jin, who had transformed into a minotaur, was still wreaking havoc in the crowd. With just three punches and two kicks, he smashed the bodies of several Lost Name players. The round shields in their hands seemed to be made of paper and broke with just a poke.
"Why hasn't Father O'Connell taken action yet? Our people are almost being killed!"
Landon felt a breath stuck in his chest, making him extremely depressed.
Just at this moment.
A figure in a dark red robe fell from the sky, landed in front of the four-handed minotaur, and then threw a punch.
boom!
Goutoujin punched back, but he didn't expect the opponent's punch to be much stronger than his.
With a few crackling sounds, the gold nugget let out a scream, and its three arms broke in reverse and flew backwards.
Boom!
His tall body even knocked down several of his companions, causing them several fatal injuries.
"it hurts……"
The dog-headed golden urn shouted in a muffled voice, climbed up from the ground, then ruthlessly bent his arm back, making a few snapping sounds, causing him to howl in pain again.
His injuries were recovering quickly, and he roared:
"Brothers, pay attention! A big monster has appeared! The priest boss of the church! !"
Players cast their eyes over and exclaimed in surprise.
Dongyang and others immediately changed their target and gathered around the Goutoujin.
"——We are both level 20, but we still can't detect any data of the opponent. This must be a mid-sequence extraordinary person. What should we do?!"
Forgotten Wuji sent a short message.
"——Send some people to deal with the remaining enemies, and then concentrate your firepower to kill him once and for all!"
Dongyang made the statement.
He started giving commands in the team channel, and Chenxi and Goutoujin also handed over the command to him.
Soon, fifty or sixty players raised their muskets and aimed at the burly Father O'Connell.
"Fear comes from lack of firepower! Shoot me!"
Bang bang bang...!!
Dense small steel balls came overwhelmingly. Father O'Connell had a blank expression on his face, but endless anger was hidden in his eyes.
He had just reported the situation to his superiors in the prayer room, which delayed him a little. He did not expect that the army here had been defeated and he was the only one who still had the ability to fight.
"You... blasphemers! You deserve to die!"
Father O'Connell's body swelled instantly and turned into a huge standing monster.
It was about four or five meters tall, with a skinless face that was long and narrow, showing sharp teeth, and its body was covered with long, hard black and gray hair.
"ha--!!"
Visible sound waves spread everywhere, and the small steel balls were shaken apart, lost their power, and fell to the ground one after another.
Dongyang and his group paused in their breathing.
They remembered the bishop monster that appeared in Jack's mixed-cut video, and it was exactly the same as the priest in front of them - [Flesh and Blood Faction Sequence 7 - Ghoul]!
"How are we going to take this guy down?! This is simply not something we can handle at this stage!"
The centaur spoke.
Dongyang and others opened their mouths, but could not think of a solution for a moment.
The gap in strength is too big, any command is useless.
"I'll hold him back."
At this time, a not tall figure stood in front of Dongyang and the others.
The players looked at him with surprise in their eyes.
"North Star!"
"You'll be killed in seconds if you go up there! It's better for us minotaurs to lead the way!"
The dog-head golden urn said in a muffled voice.
Polaris took a deep breath and shook his head.
His hand secretly reached into his arms, where his two trump cards were hidden: the portrait and the scroll given to him by Mr. Jack!
No one saw it.
On top of the burning church, a gentleman in black was holding a silver cane, silently overlooking the scene.
The breeze blew the hair under the black hat, and a smile flashed in the eyes.
"Let's see your performance, North Star."
