Chapter 127: Killing the High Priests! Counter Pollution!

The [King’s Sword] let out a flourishing sharp light. The sword energy all over Link surged like a tide and swept toward the Spiderhuman High Priest.

A roar instantly exploded in the basement!

The repercussions of the battle ripped up hideous slits in the ground made of flesh!

The might that burst out from the two’s collision was comparable to that of a Stage Six being. The quake had the entire basement’s first level shaking!

If it weren’t because the area had already been influenced by the heretic god’s aura and turned into a special [Domain], it would certainly collapse.

The Spiderhuman High Priest was relying on the fact that it was in this unique [Domain]—this basement level was already deeply twisted.

The flesh walls all around were covered in strange and heretical runes, outlined using fresh blood. There were even hearts, skulls, and the like placed on the important nodal points.

As such, the Spiderhuman High Priest’s capabilities tremendously amplified in this area!

On the other hand, Link relied on his own exceedingly high attributes. All his equipment—which were Legend or Myth-grade—had also further raised his attributes, making him strong enough to resist a Stage Six existence!

Within seconds, the two collided multiple times with a terrifying force.

The Spiderhuman High Priest’s sharp chelicerae were all broken; Link even sent it flying, and it crashed hard into the flesh-made ground.

The remaining two Spiderhuman High Priests could not restrain themselves from looking full of terror!

One must know that the suppression emitting from the human before them was merely Stage Four, yet he had completely repressed a Stage Five Spiderhuman in battle!

This place was their home ground! Yet, they were being crushed by a Stage Four human? How was that possible!?

Some uneasiness and chilliness rose in the two aberrated monsters’ hearts presently.

They both acted, seeking to finish off the enemy before them as quickly as possible.

One Spiderhuman High Priest opened its mouth that was full of fangs. Green spiders—the size of a fist and mixed with a sticky liquid—poured out of its mouth and swarmed toward Link.

Meanwhile, the other Spiderhuman High Priest waved the staff, made from human bones, in its hand!

The runes that densely covered the basement’s second level instantly released a scarlet-red glow!

The surroundings became even darker and more twisted. Under the invasion of a strange strength, the murmuring whispers became even more intense, inducing one to fall into an eternal illusion.

Even Holy Angel Yuna’s present countenance had become more ghastly. Due to the array’s influence, her spirit had drooped. It seemed as if she would be dragged into an illusion at any time.

At this moment, Link depended on [Fearless]’s effects to withstand the mental impact and influence.

But the array’s effects weren’t just targeted at one’s spirit. Even Link’s body started to feel extremely fatigued, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand tons! It felt as if an icy-cold palm was currently resting on Link’s face, wanting to close his eyes!

Link had to settle the battle as soon as possible. He was taken aback in his heart, and he launched the [Mask of the Faceless]’s active skill!

[God of Evil’s Whispers]!

Somehow, there seemed to be a supreme being who cast His gaze and influence at this area.

The three Spiderhuman High Priests’ bodies trembled violently! In a trance, they witnessed an exceedingly terrifying scene.

The light and space behind Link distorted. A twisted, chaotic, and indescribable black figure then seemed to appear!

An overwhelming suppression and aura came from the black figure—it was inexhaustible chaos and madness!

This figure was surely a supreme god; just the figure’s aura was enough to make the three Spiderhuman High Priests feel fear and shudder!

The [God of Evil’s Whispers]’s effect and the area’s unique array effect overlapped one another!

Link and Yuna instantly felt their bodies’ exhaustion ease significantly.

The little, green spiders that swarmed toward the both of them stopped moving in unison. They let out painful cries and then exploded, becoming some kind of disgusting green liquid.

The voice of madness—filled with blasphemy and degeneration—sounded by the three Spiderhuman High Priests’ ears. Even as aberrated creatures, they actually could not resist!

There seemed to be many cirri and arms stretching out from the surrounding darkness, seeking to enclose them!

Under the [God of Evil’s Whispers]’s influence, even their absolute faith in the Spider God saw a change.

[Aberration] not of spider form occurred within the three Spiderhuman High Priests’ bodies!

Masses of flesh swelled, and cirri and eyes emerged on the surface of their bodies!

[Counter Pollution]!

The [Mask of the Faceless]’s potency set chills in one’s heart.

In Link and Yuna’s field of vision.

The three Spiderhuman High Priests were frozen in place.

An indescribable black shadow wound around them, nestled up against their cheeks, and whispered intimately...

Seeing that all three Spiderhuman High Priests had fallen into this peculiar state, Link did not hesitate to strike again.

The [King’s Sword] swung out, launching an offense at the Spiderhuman High Priest who had sunk into the flesh-made ground.

A strong power of death suffused from Link as if a deathly still Styx flowed around him!

A figure shrouded beneath a cloak and a hood appeared behind Link!

A mist of death swept across, and the space shuddered—He seemed to be Death itself!

A massive silver sickle—gleaming with a startling cold glow—arrived at the same time as the [King’s Sword]’s blade and harvested life!

It was [Death Judgment]!

Crack!

This strike had luckily triggered the instant death effect!

The Spiderhuman High Priest’s hideous body instantly broke into pieces! The splattering pieces appeared withered as if they’d long decayed—all vitality was destroyed!

The two other Spiderhuman High Priests seemed to have sensed danger. They violently struggled as if they wanted to break free of that frightening state.

Link’s gaze was cold, his mental strength swiftly spread out.

Many translucent cirri appeared in the empty air and went killing towards the closest enemy!

[Cirrus Limbs]!

The air seemed to be whipped open by the steel whip-like cirri, letting out fearsome booms.

And in the next instant, the cirri had already penetrated a Spiderhuman High Pries’s bodyt!

Flesh and blood flew in all directions!

The influence of the cirri—together with the [God of Evil’s Whispers]’s pollution—had this Spiderhuman High Priest directly deviate from his faith in the Spider God.

His whole body continuously aberrated, directly crumbling into a large mass of bloated flesh. The cirri then minced it.

At this point, the other Spiderhuman High Priest finally broke free of the [God of Evil’s Whispers]’s control.

Multiple large chelicerae came slashing toward Link, wanting to tear his body up!

The cirri instantly retracted and turned into a huge shield before Link!

Boom!

Amidst the roar, the Spiderhuman High Priest was thrown back by the counterforce. Link’s mental strength was also greatly depleted.

Presently, Yuna swung out balls of holy light energy. They flew toward the Spiderhuman High Priest like cannonballs.

Link also launched [Holy Charge] at the same time. The [King’s Sword] in his grip and the cirrus limbs—transformed from mental strength—went thrusting toward the Spiderhuman High Priest together!

Even the Spiderhuman High Priest could not counter this terrifying attack. Fear and despair flashed through those six sinister pupils!

But at the next moment, the Spiderhuman High Priest’s twisted limbs were directly crushed!

The three Stage Five aberrated monsters were all dead!

Golden holy flames burned on those tattered broken limbs.

Link and Yuna walked among the holy flames, slowly moving up that heretical and strange altar!

The two people’s shadows flickered in the flames’ light, appearing to be peerlessly huge!
