Deep Sea Embers Chapter 77: Thinking about fire

The explosion exploded in the basement, and a fiery fireball suddenly flew from the side - but before the fireball approached, Duncan had already reacted.

His perception is far faster than his body. The moment the abnormal energy appeared in the basement, he sensed something was wrong. At this time, he raised his hand to block it subconsciously without even thinking about it!

A little bit of burning sensation came from the fingertips, but the next second, the spewing fire of the spirit body was involved in the fireball with a recoil and detonation momentum. Duncan grabbed the shot from the corner of the basement out of thin air. The fire ball, this fiery fire was dyed a layer of dark green almost immediately, and the bursting energy instantly became submissive and began to burn quietly in his hands.

Duncan just grabbed the fireball that had turned into a ghostly green fire, and slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the attack.

And at the moment when he turned his eyes away, the hound known as "Agou" jumped back suddenly, and a fissure surging with countless shadows and black mist was where it landed. Appearing out of thin air, it jumped in without hesitation, the jet-black iron chain dragged Shirley at the same time, the latter spat hard to the side before flying into the crack, and she spat several **** bullets on the ground.

The next second, one person and one dog disappeared into the basement.

Duncan looked back in amazement when he heard the movement, only to see the last scene of the girl's skirt falling into the fissure - this strange combination of people and dogs just took advantage of him to run away in a blink of an eye.

I still have a lot of questions I haven't had time to ask!

And all because of a sudden attack by a cult with an exceptionally strong vitality.

Duncan's mood became subtly unhappy. He looked at the direction of the fireball again, and saw the cult priest wearing a sun mask leaning slantingly against the corner of the wall, holding his last breath to maintain his arms raised. He seemed to be stunned that the fireball he summoned with all his strength was not only caught out of thin air, but even usurped the authority, and the dull eyes could be seen through the golden mask.

"It's not a good habit to not make up after a shot..."

Duncan's face was gloomy, and he slowly walked towards the cult priest who was seriously injured while talking about a girl who didn't know how to make up after a fight.

He still held the silent green fireball in his hand, and the power emanating from the fireball was quietly spreading in the basement.

With every step of Duncan's advance, the oil lamps and torches set up in the basement seemed to be inexplicably inspired. Under the light of the fire, the sun priest with a mask finally felt a fear that was stronger than ever——

He felt that the connection between himself and the sun **** was rapidly weakening. As the lights were "usurped" one after another, the sun god's gaze was leaving his soul as quickly as the ice and snow melted in spring!

In the great fear, a trembling voice finally came from under the mask: "You...you are not an ordinary heresy, what are you..."

The last light turned into a dark green soul flame, Duncan stopped in front of the priest, he bowed his head slightly, his face looked particularly gloomy under the reflection of the spirit fire: "I haven't finished asking, It's rude to be interrupted by you, didn't your mother teach you?"

While speaking, he noticed the state of the Sun Priest.

He thinks he's blaming Shirley wrong - half of the cultist's chest is completely deflated, and a broken rib may even have pierced through his heart and lung lobes, which is undoubtedly fatal, theoretically not at all The need for patching.

This priest is still alive because a more powerful and strange force is hanging his life, which may be the "Sun God" in the mouths of these cultists.

But even so, Duncan can still clearly see that life is rapidly passing from the priest's body, and his every breath is becoming weaker, and he will die sooner or later.

Although the reason is unknown, it is clear that the blessing of the sun **** is rapidly moving away from this priest.

"It seems that the blessings from the sun **** are not very reliable," Duncan shook his head and said with emotion, "Your Lord has left you."

He just sighed casually, but he didn't expect that this sentence would stimulate the already dying priest, the latter's eyes were suddenly split, and driven by huge anger, he burst out with the last strength, and Duncan unexpectedly watched Suddenly he took out a blood-stained tape from his sleeve!

"I offer this body to the Lord! May the holy cloth purify the heresy before my eyes!"

The priest shouted, the golden mask was covered with dirty blood clots and shards of internal organs, he raised the "sacred corpse cloth" in his hand, and offered the most thorough and crazy sacrifice to his Lord— —

He sacrificed all of himself just to ignite the holy corpse cloth, to perish with the heresy who usurped the flames in front of him!

Duncan, however, just watched calmly at the final frenzied sacrifice—though the priest did startle him when he suddenly took something out of his sleeve, but after seeing what it was, he Everyone calmed down.

That was the strange cloth that the other party used to verify his "compatriot identity" when he entered the assembly hall just before - I just didn't expect this cloth to have the incredible name of "Holy Skull Cloth".

As Duncan had expected, the holy corpse Buan was silent and unresponsive, and the most extreme sacrifice of the cult priest before his death did not awaken any miracles.

The eyes under the mask showed a trace of daze, the cult priest tried his best to support his body, looked at the holy object in his hands without any movement in despair, and coughed out a mouthful of blood again in disbelief: "I offer this to the Lord. This body..."

"I guess this is what you want."

Duncan couldn't get past it. He shook his head and pointed his finger at the blood-stained tape.

The next second, a cluster of green flames burst into flames!

The fire of the spiritual body ignited the sacred cloth, ignited the dirty blood coughed up by the cult priest, and ignited the flesh and blood of this crazy person. ...It shouldn't be like this...The Lord will not betray, the Lord...The Lord will punish you for being so different...Who are you?!"

In the raging fire, the voice of the cult priest finally weakened and dissipated. After all, the vitality supported by the extraordinary power could not let him resist the flame that directly burned the soul-or, it was because of the extraordinary power. Existence made him turn into ashes in this spiritual fire backlash.

The fire of the spirit body was finally extinguished, and the sun priest leaning against the wall had been completely burned, leaving only a set of scattered clothes and the golden mask imitating the shape of the sun.

Even the so-called "sacred corpse cloth" was burnt to ashes in the flames because it acted as a "medium".

Duncan frowned.

To be honest, this is not the first time he has seen a corpse - the "sacrifice" he saw in the underground cave before and the priest who was "sacrifice" had already exercised his nerves. Accident.

Under normal circumstances, his spirit fire only works on supernatural objects, which he tested with various things when he was aboard the Homeless - supernatural objects burned by flames will It was "usurped" to become Captain Duncan's property, and if it was not a supernatural thing, even a piece of paper would not be affected by the fire of the spirit body~IndoMTL.com~ The fire of the spirit body produced the effect of actual burning just now. It was his initiative—he was worried that the cultist really did something with that piece of holy relic cloth, so he ordered the holy relic cloth to burn itself out of caution, and from the results, this holy relic cloth was indeed faithful. command executed.

But he didn't expect that the flames that spread out would burn the cult priest to ashes - this was not in line with the conclusion he got after completing the test.

It is normal for the Relic Cloth to be burned, because it is a supernatural item and will be affected by the fire of the spirit;

It is normal for the clothes of cult priests to be left intact, because those clothes are obviously "mortal things", and the fire of the spirit body is like a phantom in parallel time and space to mortal things, and will not have the slightest impact— Unless the garment itself is enchanted, or some extraordinary material is incorporated in the weaving process;

It is also normal that the golden mask was left intact, as Duncan was so interested in this apparently extraordinary item that he gave orders as soon as the flames began to spread, to prevent the mask from being damaged in the fire.

Then... why was this cultist burned to ashes by the fire of the spirit?

Duncan crouched down in confusion, scrutinizing the gray-black ashes.

It is similar to the ashes after the burning of the holy corpse cloth.

Duncan has never tested his spiritual fire with a living person, let alone used it to take people's lives, and this cult priest should be the first real victim of his fire.

At least, the first real victim under the premise of his conscious control.

Slowly, a bold idea popped into Duncan's mind.

Could it be that this kind of "mortal person" who has received "blessings" for worshipping certain gods can also be regarded as "extraordinary objects"?
