Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 224: Miniature Sacred Beast, Great Prophecy
I couldn't believe it, nor did I want to believe it. Would the pet summoned by the "scavenger" really be the holy beast white tiger of the light system? I couldn't help but look away, blinked a few times, and looked at it again. The appearance, the shape, and the fur color were no mistake. They were exactly the same as the real holy beast white tiger. It was impossible and I had never heard of other tiger-like monsters similar to the holy beast white tiger. Once confirmed, a bitter feeling of powerlessness suddenly emerged in my heart, and my original high morale could not help but weaken a lot. Facing a holy beast alone was not something I could handle. In addition to the descending eight-winged holy angel and the strength of the "scavenger" itself, the gap between the enemy and us was too great. There was no way to fight this battle. I had no hope of winning. Did every "scavenger" have a holy beast as a pet, or was I extremely unlucky and extremely unlucky to encounter a "scavenger" with a holy beast pet? I don't know, I just know that this most difficult promotion task is impossible to complete, and any struggle will be in vain.
My mood suddenly became extremely gloomy, and I even forgot to use the "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" magics as protection according to the predetermined plan. The damn old man said that I might still have some hope of winning. Damn it, I originally thought that the opponent I encountered was a priest of light, and I could still fight for a while, but I didn't expect that the one I summoned casually was a holy beast pet. There was no chance at all. It was basically a dead end for me. It would be great if you could tell me clearly earlier, and I could also announce that I gave up as soon as possible and directly complete the promotion task of the next level of difficulty, so as not to delay two days in vain. Is it really that God is jealous of talents and refuses to let me complete the most difficult promotion tasks every time? I was gritting my teeth and secretly cursing the dead old man. I didn't want to resist in vain anymore. Suddenly, I remembered when I asked about the strength of the "scavenger". The words that the dead old man said - "When facing the 'scavenger', you must remain calm, observe carefully, don't be frightened by some appearances, try your best to win, don't give up easily, maybe you can create a miracle again", I didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was just empty words to encourage me, but now I don't know why, it flashed in my mind word by word. It feels like it is meant to be meaningful, hinting at something. If I really face the sacred beast white tiger, I can't create a miracle no matter how hard I try. Is it that the "scavenger" summoned is not the sacred beast white tiger, or it is just a mere appearance and does not have the strength of the sacred beast level? Think about it, according to the rules, it is difficult for players to sign a "pet scroll" of a certain level. Even after the special strengthening treatment of the professional life players, it can only be improved by one level, and the level 7 pet can be subdued with a level 6 scroll. By analogy, using a ninth-level "pet scroll" to sign a tenth-level beast as a pet is already quite amazing. A holy beast is a powerful being beyond level ten, and it should not be able to be tamed by a ninth-level "pet scroll". Otherwise, it would definitely seriously disrupt the balance of the game. In this way, a top-level expert player would be able to challenge a holy beast alone. Wouldn't the old order of "Tianxia" be disrupted?
Thinking of this, I regained some composure. I carefully examined the pet summoned by the "scavenger" again. It looked no different from the real sacred beast white tiger, except that its head was much smaller, probably only half the size of an adult white tiger. It was a mini sacred beast. Its demeanor was quite mature and steady, and it didn't seem like a white tiger baby in its infancy. Moreover, its aura was not too strong. I had participated in challenging sacred beasts many times before, but I didn't feel too strong aura on this white tiger pet. It was not at the level of a sacred beast. Even Wu Ma, who was more sensitive to the enemy's strength, didn't show the extreme fear and caution he had shown when facing Almetti before. It felt that although the opponent was quite strong, he was not completely defenseless. Combining several factors, it seems that the white tiger pet does not have the strength of a holy beast. Perhaps, it is only equivalent to a level ten demon beast. If this is the case, then the "Scavenger" is not invincible. With my own strength, and the two powerful pseudo-artifacts I can use, I should at least be able to fight and not be hopeless.
Just as I was overwhelmed by the reputation of the holy beast white tiger, my mood fluctuated and I temporarily interrupted the opportunity to act, but "Scavenger" did not stop at all. After summoning the white tiger pet, he immediately cast "Angel Advent" and summoned an eight-winged holy angel. Although the "body protection holy light" was dazzling, it should not be lower than the middle level of level ten, but it did not look like it had special functions like Almaidi. He was bare-handed and had no equipment. It was obviously a normal type of holy angel, which further demonstrated his true strength. He was definitely not a super strong man with a holy beast pet, which made me feel more relaxed. After a little calming down, I realized that the white tiger pet should be a fake holy beast. It really scared me to death. I almost lost my fighting spirit and was about to give up.
I attacked by surprise, and the "Scavenger" took the enemy by surprise. We both successfully summoned our pets and helpers and prepared for the battle. Although I didn't gain any advantage, I felt that I still had the strength to fight. I was lucky and didn't dare to ask for too much. I regained my fighting spirit and began to cast the "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" magics before the "Scavenger" attacked me, strengthening my defense and preparing for a fierce battle.
"I am Pirlo, the 'Guardian of Faith' under the command of Michael, the God of Light and Angel of God. Seeing that you have trespassed into the 'Tower of Faith' and possessed the power of darkness, you must be a dark demon. I will carry out Michael's divine wish to save all living beings and eradicate evil, and represent the faith of light to send you to justice." I didn't expect that the "Scavengers" would do something like this before the battle. They occupied the territory dedicated to the God of Death and shouted that they would wipe out the darkness. Is this their righteous behavior? It's so shameless.
Without saying much, leaving me more time, as soon as the opening remarks were finished, the "scavenger" who called himself Pirlo had already cast the "holy light barrier". Leaving the pet white tiger to guard by his side for protection, he slowly approached me from the ground, and the eight-winged holy angel had already rushed towards me from the air. It was at least level 10, and there was not much point in killing it. Pirlo could continue to summon another one. I had no intention of directly entangled with the holy angel. In addition to leaving the "sacrificed" white bone dragon to hover within a hundred meters around and share 30% of my damage, Wu Ma, Shaman and the other two white bone dragons all rushed towards Pirlo from different directions. Dealing with the priest of light is the same as dealing with us undead wizards. Directly attacking the main body is the most effective means.
Without summoning Xiaobai to perform "teleportation", with the "blood bat transformation", plus the protective effects of "sacrifice" and "unparalleled protection", it is not so easy for the Holy Angel to kill me. Let's see if Wu Ma and the others have any chance to pose some threat to Pirlo with their advantage in numbers. Pirlo seems to be very confident in the strength of himself and his pet white tiger. The Holy Angel has no intention of intercepting Wu Ma and the others. It still flies straight towards me, and hurriedly transforms into a bat and starts to circle around to avoid its pursuit. Facing the approach of Wu Ma and the others, the pet white tiger roared. It opened its mouth and sprayed a string of white light balls, shooting straight at a white bone dragon that was about a hundred meters away. It should be the "Tiger Roar" skill of the Holy Beast White Tiger. It seems that it is really a miniature Holy Beast, not a similar species. I don't know why this happened.
Fortunately, the pet white tiger's strength is not at the level of a holy beast, and the speed and power of "Tiger Roar" are not as good as it. In addition, the white bone dragon has been highly alert under my instructions, and it did not fly too fast. It dodged in time and was not injured by the light ball. At the moment, several men were even more careful. They approached steadily, distracting the pet white tiger's attention, and at the same time tried their best to maintain their own safety, not wanting them to be easily damaged. Wu Ma had already escaped underground, looking for an opportunity to sneak close to Pirlo's side. As long as he avoided the stronger pet white tiger, Pirlo's own strength alone should not be able to sense Wu Ma's existence. He did not have auxiliary props like "Eye of Glory", and it would be a little difficult to prevent Wu Ma's approaching attack. And with Pirlo's "Holy Light Barrier"'s protective ability, and no defensive equipment, he would definitely not be able to withstand the "unstoppable" slashing. His situation would be more dangerous than mine. Let's see what means he would take to deal with it. Would he defend with all his strength against the pet white tiger and continue to let the holy angel chase me and compete with me for endurance?
The pet white tiger showed its tyrannical strength, guarding Pirlo's side. It could cast the ninth-level magic "Light of Judgment " and had a strong physical attack ability, forcing the two white-bone dragons to stay away from it. Even Shaman in bat form would be attacked by it every time he flew close, and had to retreat in embarrassment. Pirlo didn't need to make a move, and the defense was already quite tight. Wu Ma lurked underground, circling around Pirlo, but couldn't find an opportunity to attack. He didn't dare to attack rashly, fearing that he would be hurt by the pet white tiger. He could only hide underground and deal with the pet white tiger patiently, at least he could contain it and make it dare not stay away from Pirlo, so it had to be distracted to guard against it, which could reduce some of the pressure on the white-bone dragon and Shaman.
I was being chased by the Holy Angel, and I could only run away without any chance to fight back. It can be said that Pirlo took the initiative on the field and suppressed me. The gap in strength was too large, and there were not many opportunities for me to perform. If the stalemate continued, the situation would become increasingly unfavorable to me. It was all because of that damn pet white tiger that I could not take the initiative. If I had changed to a level nine upper pet, I would definitely not be able to withstand Wu Ma's attack, and I would not have become so passive.
"God said: Under the light, all evil will be exposed!" Pirlo handed the magic wand to his left hand, suddenly knelt on one knee, prayed devoutly, stretched out his right hand and slowly drew a cross in the air, chanting aloud. The voice was not loud, but for some reason, Wu Ma, who was lurking underground, heard it clearly, and it also reached my ears.
What is he doing? I have never seen a priest of light casting a spell alone and needing to put on such a formal prayer posture. What he is chanting does not sound like a magic spell, but more like a prayer. What effect will it have? Using the power of light to curse me? Before I could think about it, a soft white light suddenly appeared out of thin air, shining on the ground, and just landed on the ground where Wu Ma escaped, as if it had a perspective function. It clearly showed the figure of Wu Ma moving underground. At the same time that Wu Ma's traces were revealed, the pet white tiger, which seemed to have been prepared, had already pounced over, raised its front claws and slapped the ground hard, catching Wu Ma underground off guard. There was no way to dodge, and he was shocked by this great force. He was directly attacked, and his "primary earth escape" technique was immediately broken. Wu Ma could not stay underground for the time being, so he had to rush out of the ground. The pet white tiger attacked without mercy, and then attacked fiercely, grabbing, slapping, tearing, biting, bumping, sweeping, and using all kinds of abilities, intending to kill Wu Ma. Fortunately, Wu Ma is a knight of destruction with high intelligence and fighting instinct. He is not comparable to ordinary monsters. As soon as he was attacked underground, he already realized that something was wrong. He did not dare to fight the pet white tiger head-on. After exposing himself, he immediately withdrew and flew back, trying his best to distance himself from the pet white tiger. At the same time, I hurriedly ordered the two white bone dragons and Shaman to strengthen the offensive and increase the threat to Pirlo. The pet white tiger dared not chase too far to reduce Wu Ma's pressure.
In order to protect Pirlo's safety, the pet white tiger really didn't dare to go far away. He had to give up the pursuit of Wu Ma and turned back to drive away the white bone dragon and Shaman. Facing the attack, Pirlo still kept kneeling on one knee in prayer, and did not use other means of attack or defense. He completely handed the task of defense to the pet white tiger. Seeing that Wu Ma, who had escaped the crisis, had escaped underground again, fortunately, the effect of white light irradiation to break the "earth escape" no longer existed, and Wu Ma's trace could not be seen. I just breathed a sigh of relief, but I heard Pirlo make another false sign of the cross, and chanted in a pious manner: "God said: If you stray, you will know how to return!" This time, Shaman heard it most clearly, as if he was reciting it in his ear, engraved in his mind, but it had no obvious effect on the two white bone dragons that were not far away, just a normal sentence.
After Pirlo finished his prayer, another soft white light appeared out of nowhere and enveloped Shaman. He had no ability to dodge it, but it did not cause any direct damage. Shaman did not feel anything unusual, but suddenly changed the direction of flight. He was trying to stay away from Pirlo and avoid the pursuit of the pet white tiger. Unconsciously, he turned around and flew towards the pet white tiger. He also lowered his flight altitude to get closer to the ground, making it easier for the pet white tiger to attack. After repelling the two white bone dragons, the pet white tiger seemed to be ready to attack Shaman. As Shaman turned around, it pounced on him, waving its tiger claws and slapping Shaman one after another. Poor Shaman was only an upper-level eighth-level vampire Fang Marquis, how could he face off against a level ten pet white tiger? He didn't know what kind of spell had affected his ability to move or his sanity, but he actually fell into the trap and had to endure the fierce attack of the pet white tiger. By the time the white light covering him faded away and he regained control of his body and woke up, it was too late. He had been severely injured by the pet white tiger's crazy attack, and was scared to death by a series of "tiger roars", and withdrew from the battle.
I was almost going crazy. What on earth was Pirlo doing? He made such a special prayer posture in the battle and chanted a strange prayer, which made Wu Ma and Shaman suffer a great loss. One was broken from the "earth escape" state and was forced to retreat in embarrassment, and the other was inexplicably killed by his pet white tiger. Is this magic? It's so weird. It seems to only work on one target, and other people will not be affected if they hear it. What is nowhere to hide? What is wrong and what is going on? It seems that everything the gods said has come true. Is it because Pirlo invited the gods into his body, which gave him divine power and exerted such a magical effect? Whatever he said is what it is. Will he let us live?
Suddenly, a similar case flashed through my memory. It is said that a brother of the resistance alliance was personally enlightened by a level 10 professional cardinal during an operation . It seemed that he knelt on one knee to pray and recited "God said: Death is heavier than Mount Tai". Then he felt that his body suddenly became unusually heavy, and it was difficult to move. It was as if he was pressed by a heavy object. He could no longer escape and was soon killed. However, many people did not believe it afterwards. They thought that the boy was bragging. How could light magic be so magical? God said it. It was simply something that only gods could do. I didn't care at first. Later, according to the intelligence of the insider that only members of the Dark Council were qualified to view, I found out that there might be a level 9 light magic called "Great Prophecy", which was at the same level as the strongest offensive magic "Doomsday Judgment". It was the strongest auxiliary magic. Only level 10 professional cardinals were qualified to learn it. From this, I inferred that the brother's experience might be an attack by the "Great Prophecy". This was originally just speculation, and I was skeptical without any factual confirmation. However, Pirlo's two consecutive "God's words" really shocked me, and made me believe that he was probably using the most powerful light-assisted magic, "Great Prophecy".
