Under the gaze of many players and shelter investigators.
The circus leader Jack turned into a "humanoid monster" with giant white pythons growing all over his back. Upon careful counting, there were eight in total.
He had a smile on his face and held in his hand the silver cane that he never seemed to leave.
Six of the white pythons that grew out of his back wrapped around the circus leaders, including Floy, Noah, Golov, Patton, Morey and Connie.
They did not resist, but stood still and let the white python as thick as an arm tightly wrap around their waists.
From a distance, with Mr. Jack at the center, it looks like a white chandelier. Under the curved and twisted structure, there are six "bulbs" of different sizes.
Jack took a step forward, and the entire circus disappeared from sight as if wiped out by an invisible eraser.
There were bursts of exclamations from the player community, and the investigators widened their eyes. Only Ralph had a calm expression. He knew that the circus had left Amber City and went to an unknown place in an unconventional way.
"——Let's go, let's go. Let's go."
Dongyang saw this and spoke in the public chat channel.
"——We have been notified that Jack will leave Amber City with the circus, but it doesn't matter. We can use the token to enter the lakeside cabin at any time anyway... It doesn't really matter if we accept quests or buy things."
“——Ah! My Jack! Is he leaving just like that? He hasn’t said goodbye to me in person, nor has he told me where he’s going. How am I going to find him in the future? (crying emoji)”
The tail tone is going crazy in the channel.
"It hurts! It hurts so much! How can I live without Jack?"
"???"
A series of question marks popped up in the channel.
It is not that human beings are essentially repeaters.
Rather, it is expressing a condensed meaning that players cannot understand but are deeply shocked by.
Just at this moment.
In the ruins of Jack's Manor, a golden beam of light suddenly appeared from the sky, attracting the attention of the players and the investigators of the shelter.
A middle-aged man wearing a white suit with gold edges and a white crown on his head slowly walked out of the golden light column.
This man had the classic appearance of a Sun Church monk, but amidst his calm and peaceful appearance, he exuded an extremely terrifying and mysterious aura.
The players stopped chatting and turned their eyes to this person.
As usual, they sent a probe to the unfamiliar NPC, but they could only see one name [Archbishop of the Church of the Sun - Terrence], and the rest were all horizontal lines indicating unknown, as well as a terrifying black threat warning - "Death is certain"!
What shocked these players even more was that this man actually noticed the investigation and turned around to glance at them with an extremely cold look.
"Pests should hide in the shadows, not gather unscrupulously on the streets, exploring at will with their disgusting eyes."
He just waved his hand and a golden light shone over.
The dazzling light was accompanied by a scorching breath. In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of spears made of golden light shot out from the ground, forming a fan-shaped "forest of spears" area.
Puff, puff, puff…!!
Dongyang, Chenxi, Beijixing and others, plus nearly a hundred other players, were all pierced by this move, and no one escaped.
They felt the horrifying heat coming from the spears piercing their bodies. The scorching air waves were almost suffocating, and they could also clearly feel that their internal organs were burning rapidly.
"ah……!"
“Ahhh!!”
Even though the pain was adjusted to the lowest setting, the feeling of real despair and the burning sensation that was like torture made the players scream in fear.
They were like prisoners nailed to the stake, being burned alive into white light by the golden light.
Before they died, they could even see the translucent sharp gun tip, the hideous bleeding grooves, the delicate patterns and the strange words engraved on the gun handle.
All players died!
When Dongyang and his group were resurrected again, they still appeared in Jack Manor.
This is their resurrection point.
Fortunately, the residential area in the back garden was some distance away from the scary man just now, so the vicious cycle of "resurrection and death" did not occur.
But everyone was silent for a few seconds, still somewhat frightened by what had just happened.
"——Was that the boss of the Church of the Sun?!"
"——Why did you suddenly come to Jack's Manor? Is there some strange plot...!"
"——Zhao, stop talking. I died twice in a row. All the experience points I worked so hard to accumulate were lost!"
The players had a heated discussion.
After a while, Dongyang and other leaders decided to stay and observe.
But you have to hide further away.
When they found a new hiding spot and looked out at the scene in the manor from afar, they were shocked.
I saw the white-robed archbishop fighting fiercely with a black knight.
boom!!
"Byers...I admire your courage."
Terrence held a long sword made of golden light in his hand and kept fighting with the black knight.
Ding dang dang...!
"You didn't choose to find a place to hide and survive, but instead took the initiative to ambush me here... You really overestimate your own abilities."
His tone was calm, as if he didn't take Byers seriously at all.
The cold wolf helmet blocked Byers's face, and his expression was completely invisible. However, the black knight's crazy swinging of the black sword showed that his mood at the moment was not calm.
"Terrence! You are just an incarnation now. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Byers's deep voice came from under the wolf helmet.
"The sanctification ceremony is a natural barrier that blocks countless extraordinary people who are trekking on the path to God. Even if you are only one step away from entering the high-level sequence, you will never be able to get a glimpse of the power of this level... How great it is."
Terrence spoke calmly, blocked Byers's black sword with one sword, and then stabbed straight into his left chest.
Such a terrifying golden lightsaber could not be blocked even by the Black Knight's extremely sturdy armor.
It will definitely pass through your heart!
Byers was shocked.
At this critical moment, he made a quick decision, slightly turned sideways, and at the same time swung the black sword from top to bottom at Terrence's head.
This was an attempt to exchange an arm for Terrence's head.
But when Byers's black sword slashed across Terrence's head, it was as if it was cutting through the air. Terrence's expressionless face did not change from beginning to end.
However, Biles clearly felt a sharp pain coming from his left chest.
“Light is everywhere. Wherever you look, it is the reflection of infinite light.”
Terrence's voice came from behind Biles.
“He” stood quietly behind Byers, piercing him with the lightsaber in his hand, stabbing him out from the chest. The flames flickered, the black armor burned red, the wounds burned, and the blood evaporated.
The "Terrence" in front of Byers slowly twisted and dissipated. It was just a shadow that deceived the vision. The real Terrence arrived behind him at some point and dealt him a fatal blow.
"hehe……"
Byers chuckled.
"Bright, ridiculous lie."
He ignored the pierced body and stabbed behind him with his sword.
call out!
But the result was the same as before, the black sword passed through Terrence's body but did not hit any object.
The next second, a dazzling light appeared in front of Byers' eyes.
The lightsaber that pierced him was pulled out at some point, and it was in front of him again, attacking him straight ahead!
clang!!
Relying on his rich combat experience and strong physical fitness, Byers was able to block the lightsaber with his sword after being attacked.
But the next second, his left arm was cut off at the root and raised high.
The pupils of Byers' eyes shrank slightly under his wolf helmet.
He clearly blocked Terrence's attack, but his left arm was cut off by the other party's sword. He was unaware of the whole process and didn't even know how the other party did it.
Weird, unknown, powerful...
This was the first time that Byers faced Terrence, who had become a saint. He was no longer the captain of the Lantern Guardian Team, but one of the twelve bishops of the Fiery Sun Monastery!
Another "Terrence" stood on Byers' left side. The lightsaber was twisting and fluctuating, and the high temperature vaporized the blood, making a sizzling sound.
“Light is God’s flying bird, the fastest in the world, unmatched by anyone and nothing can compare to it.”
Terrence said calmly.
"Give it up, Byers."
“Dark Night!!”
Byers did not surrender. He roared and raised the black sword in his hand.
An extremely dark area suddenly descended and swallowed up the two of them in an instant.
The hemisphere was shrouded in darkness for less than a few dozen seconds.
A ray of sunlight emerged from the "black ball", followed by the second ray, the third ray... It was like the dawn of the morning, gradually breaking through the night curtain and directly illuminating the entire dim world.
boom!!
Byers was thrown out, dragging his tattered black armor, and fell heavily to the ground, creating a huge hole.
His body was covered with burns and sword marks. He clutched the black sword tightly with one arm. After struggling to stand up, he looked up at the man in white robe who was slowly approaching him.
"Byers, you and I are no longer the same. Only by transformation can we become a myth... Even the most powerful extraordinary human cannot be compared to a mythical creature."
Terrence looked down at the Black Knight indifferently, and raised the dazzling golden sword in his hand slightly, pointing it directly at Byers' throat.
"After you die, all your and Youlan's remains will be kept by the Church of the Sun..."
"It's you who's dead, Terrence."
Byers said coldly.
"Um?"
Terrence frowned suddenly.
Woo!!
A broad sword burning with purple-red flames suddenly attacked from behind His head.
The breath of destruction came in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a scream.
Extremely abrupt.
It seemed to appear out of thin air.
clang!!
Terrence turned around and blocked with his sword, making a loud and sharp sound!
His entire body moved uncontrollably for dozens of meters, leaving a long ditch, and then he stared at the enemy who suddenly appeared.
It was a strange man covered in armor.
His deep, dark armor was covered in rust spots and had ferocious snake decorations, some coiled, some standing, some slithering with bared fangs, and some staring coldly.
The helmet is as exquisite as a work of art, with a pitch-black cross hole carved on the three-dimensional symmetrical raised visor. On the top of the head are two strange snakes entwined with each other, forming an inverted hook shape.
A scarlet cloak was fluttering behind him, like a flag or a red carpet, rustling in the wind.
But Terrence saw clearly that the cloak was not a real object, but an illusion composed of some kind of decaying blood, burning and rising, and then gushing out.
The man was slightly hunched over, dragging a giant sword as tall as a person, on which was burning a blazing purple-red flame that seemed to never stop.
"Who are you?"
Terrence asked calmly, narrowing his eyes.
The black-armored monster slowly walked towards him, dragging the giant sword, and said in a hoarse and low voice:
"My name is Spade Knight Joke..."
