Chapter 25 Heresy
Xu Nian's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
Or rather, no one cared about him.
The man crawling on the ground was motionless and chanting words that he could not understand, while the priest in the front raised his hands, closed his eyes, and looked pious.
Perhaps because his son lent him the power, he could clearly feel that there was an evil and disgusting power slowly flowing in these people, and the source of this power was in the priest.
Xu Nian's heart sank, knowing that it would be too late if he did not take action, so he rushed towards the priest in one step.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.
He also understood this principle.
As he ran at high speed, the black light spots on the surface of his body extended to his right hand and turned into a black sword shadow again.
At first glance, Xu Nian seemed to have merged with the black sword shadow, and the whole person became more blurred.
As if he had noticed Xu Nian's actions, the priest suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of sarcasm and disdain.
Then, he made an Amen gesture and murmured devoutly: "Great Lord, a tiny ant accidentally broke into your temple and tarnished your glory. Please forgive his ignorance and stupidity."
As he said this, he suddenly looked at Xu Nian, cold as a spring: "Go, servants of God, tear up this heretic in front of you."
As soon as the voice fell, the sarcophagus in the darkness around shook, and then, under Xu Nian's shocked eyes, zombies with green spots and green eyes crawled out of it.
Unlike the two zombies encountered before, these zombies were as thin as dry bones, and fleshy tentacles grew on their heads, which looked extremely disgusting.
"Damn, why are there so many?"
Because Xu Nian's attention had been on the priest and the crawling man before, he didn't notice that there were so many sarcophagi in the darkness of this underground temple.
Roughly counted, there were at least 20 or 30.
These zombies were very fast, and they surrounded Xu Nian in almost the blink of an eye.
Then, he rushed towards Xu Nian like a mad dog.
Xu Nian took a deep breath, surprisingly, his heart was very calm, and his whole body seemed to have been tempered by thousands of hammers, and suddenly made incredible movements.
Forward, backward.
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow,
He held a black sword shadow, as if dancing on a sword, shuttled among these zombies, and each sword accurately pierced the lifeblood of the zombies.
One, two.
As the zombies fell without warning and began to emit steam, Xu Nian became more and more comfortable, and the speed of killing became faster and faster.
The priest's face finally changed, staring at Xu Nian with a gloomy face and said: "Who are you? I haven't heard of you?"
Xu Nian did not respond, but after killing the last zombie, he rushed to the priest under the demon stone sculpture as fast as lightning.
The priest's eyes were sharp, snorted, stretched out his palm to Xu Nian, and chanted a spell that Xu Nian could not understand in a low voice.
Xu Nian's mind was alerted, and he instinctively rolled to the left.
In a flash, a dark, foggy claw appeared out of nowhere, almost reaching his heart.
Xu Nian saw this scene and said in disbelief: "What is this? Magic?"
The priest saw that the surprise attack did not succeed, snorted coldly, and did not continue to attack. Instead, he stared at Xu Nian and said: "I know you, the man next to Bai Fei. It was my mistake to think that a slave of God could kill you."
Xu Nian narrowed his eyes, and while sweeping the person crawling on the ground with his peripheral vision, he said coldly: "You are the Father Fanni, right?"
The priest laughed lightly: "According to your Oriental habits, you should call me Father Dret."
Xu Nian sneered: "How dare you call yourself a priest? Doing such a devilish act, aren't you afraid that your God will punish you?"
"God?" Father Dret seemed to have heard a big joke, laughed wildly for a while, and said with hatred: "I used to respect him very much, regarded him as the faith of my life, and did it for him. But... until my lovely and kind Winnie died, I no longer believed in him. He was a liar, a hypocritical and ruthless butcher. "
Xu Nian frowned and said in a deep voice: "So you are taking revenge on God by turning your fellow human beings into zombies?"
"Hehehe." Father Deret sneered for a while, and said with a mocking look: "Don't compare me, Deret, with those ignorant and disgusting monsters. They think that doing so can blaspheme God and make God, a hypocritical guy, angry, but in my opinion, all this is just the ridiculous struggle of ants. "
As he said, he suddenly raised his hands high, turned around and looked at the demon stone sculpture, and his eyes burst into incomprehensible madness: "Only it, the incarnation of the great Nyarlathotep, the demon lord of the crawling chaos and the abyss, can completely destroy God. "
"You"
Xu Nian's face changed.
"Plop".
Father Drette suddenly knelt on the ground, prostrating himself devoutly in front of the demon stone statue, and shouted fanatically: "Great Nyarlathotep, the being beyond light and darkness, in this disgusting cemetery at the entrance of the abyss, your humble servant Drette begs you to release your power, show your might, and let those blind, dumb, and foolish ants feel the true despair."
Instantly, the people crawling on the ground trembled violently. At the same time, each of them suddenly held their heads and screamed in pain, and the whole person visibly shrank.
"Not good!"
Xu Nian was horrified and no longer cared about the priest. Instead, he quickly looked for Bai Fei, but strangely, among these crawling people, there was no trace of Bai Fei at all.
Damn it!
Xu Nian was anxious, but there was no time for him to think. He could only roar and rush directly towards the fanatical priest.
This time, he concentrated all his strength on his right hand. The black sword shadow in his hand became more and more solid, and some strange secret codes could be seen faintly on the sword.
"Break!"
At this time, Xu Nian's eyeballs were as dark as the abyss, and a cold murderous intent emerged in his heart. He felt that his reason was losing little by little, but he could no longer care about it. He just desperately stabbed the priest's back with a sword.
Father Deret was still crawling and reciting strange words, completely ignoring Xu Nian's attack behind him.
Even after Xu Nian's black sword shadow instantly pierced his entire chest, he remained unmoved and chanted horrifying words enthusiastically.
"In the dark room beyond time and space, there came the sound of crazy beating of giant drums. It was the ancient dark gods living under the abyss welcoming their master, the great Nyarlathotep"
