our family is gone

Chapter 710 Light the way forward (4)

Even though the Guardian of the Temple was so seriously injured, he still had the strength to fight back. He swung out his giant pincers to force Bahrain back. Although he was not knocked down by the collision between the giant pincers and the axe handle, he took a few steps back before he stabilized.

The guardian showed no intention of stopping his attack and suddenly rushed towards Baldwin in front of him.

The size difference between the two sides was very obvious. Even if Baldwin raised the broken sword across his body, he was unable to withstand the impact of the terrifying power of the Temple Guardian and was directly knocked away.

Because it was charging with Baldwin at a distance, Lance didn't bother to play around with the bodyguard. He took out a thick and long thing in his hand, which was an armor-piercing whale horn that was almost two meters long. He rushed forward quickly and attacked from behind.

No flesh and blood could stop the armor-piercing power, and Lance easily penetrated the armor without even having to exert much effort.

The guardians of the temple don't need to eat, their bodies are just a mass of flesh and blood, so naturally they don't have a back door or anything like that. But when the tip of the spiral popped out from the big closed eyes in the lower abdomen, it meant that the whale horn had pierced through the body, and the injuries caused made them go crazy.

Lance succeeded and quickly pulled out the whale horn and ran away. The Templar Guardian lost his hatred directly from Baldwin, turned around and rushed towards Lance like a madman, waving his huge pincers.

Even Lance was unable to withstand the swift attack of the two pincers, because the wolf's fangs were sharp and were used for cutting, not for head-on collisions.

Fortunately, the tail was cut off at the root, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

But Lance is not the only one here. Junia's long-accumulated power explodes, and the strong holy light seems to ignite the blood mist, falling on the protector and immediately interrupting its actions.

At the same time, Balin also raised his hand and shoulder to launch a collision, accumulating potential energy at a distance, and his huge body crashed into the side of the guardian like a locomotive.

Damn it!
With a dull thud, the temple guardian was actually knocked over by brute force and rolled some distance to the ground.

Lance finally had time to activate his flesh and blood reconstruction and pull Baldwin up from the ground. It seemed that his injury was not serious, as the equipment on his body bore most of the force.

The blood of the Temple Guardian was really thick. So many attacks failed to kill it. The special structure of its flesh and blood allowed it to withstand most of the damage and retain its combat effectiveness.

Lance didn't waste any time and directly gave a blessing to the others, and then everyone started a group fight.

"It's too big to turn, so go around and pull it from behind."

"Hit his feet. Breaking his limbs will prevent him from turning around."

"..."

Several of them cooperated with each other during the fight and even made fun of the poor guardian.

One is in the front to attract and taunt the guardian, and the other two are at the back on the left and right sides, revealing their flaws no matter which side the guardian turns.

In terms of long-range attacks, Junia would make a move from time to time, and the other three would take the opportunity to attack.

The most important thing about this style of attack is that once its tail is cut off, it loses its means of attack. Otherwise, that thing won't panic at all, and its flexible stings will make anyone who wants to get around it unlucky.

This is why Lance is not very afraid of an individual no matter how strong he is, because he can always find his weakness and then drag him into his own rhythm.

The most frightening thing is that when the number of people increases, I become the target of a group beating.

It only took three or two rounds, and the guardian tried various ways to break the situation, but neither [Revelation] nor [Collision] was of any avail. Even if someone had a problem, the other two could take care of it.

The guardian of the temple used wild [Revelation] but this move was blocked by the Burning Amulet, so he was left with no other options.

Baldwin took a hit and stepped back to adjust, Lance went up to confront him head-on, and the protector was really helpless, one of his arms was cut off, and his movements became increasingly sluggish.

The only thing it could rely on was the great power that did not belong to it, and it opened its broken eyeball that was bleeding.

Revelation!

You have to know that Lance doesn't have the Burning Amulet. When that thing stared at him, he couldn't help but pause and just stood in front of the guardian.

But suddenly he looked up at the guardian and asked a question.

"I'm waiting for the gunfire, what are you waiting for?"

It's unknown when the hand cannon fell into his hand, and as he was speaking he just held the barrel and charged forward.

Head into the bombardment!

At this distance, it is right in front of the face and there is no room to avoid. When the fuse burns out, it will be ignited instantly.

The shell hit the big eyeball with wild force, crushing it directly, and even penetrated into the body and crushed all the tangled flesh and blood.

No matter how thick his blood was, it could not withstand such an injury, and the huge body of the temple guardian fell completely with this shot.

Damn, there are so many masters here who have been fighting for so long that Lance feels it is difficult to fight alone because the guardians have too many means of attack, and they are fast, powerful, and have strong recovery abilities.

But it's all over...

He went to call back the other four guards. They were not in any danger, as their helmets concealed their worries.

However, from the chaotic scene, the monsters lying on the ground, and the tired people, it can be seen that a fierce battle just now took place.

Lance didn't dare to hesitate and immediately launched the sacrifice to sacrifice all those messy things.

Lance didn't feel relieved until the void completely erased all traces of it.

But now is not the time to rest, so he starts searching among the collapsed stone pillars and the room filled with twisted flesh and blood, and soon finds the strange altar.

The altar was made of gray-black rock, similar to the surrounding stone pillars. The fleshy tentacles twisted and clung to the altar. On the top platform was a skull statue, with blood flowing out of it and even spreading out.

This reminded Lance of the old god's altar in front of the gate, the only difference was that the flesh tentacles extended from the ground and climbed to fix it.

Also, the tentacles on the altar turned into skeletons. It is not known whether this symbolizes different sacrificial objects, but there is still blood flowing. Perhaps the ancestor came up with this by studying that thing.

Lance only knew that this thing was called the "Iron Crown" and didn't know much about it, but according to the information left by the saints, he should use the Hand of Praise.

After taking out a blue-gray severed hand, Lance went back and specifically asked the mystic scholar Alhazred about it. It turned out that the church did have similar methods.

However, the church also needs to save its reputation. Ordinary hands of praise are candles made from the left hands of some death row prisoners, using their own fat and used in some special ceremonies.

So what kind of power does this saint, which is made from the left hand of a legendary strong man, have?

Lance did not hesitate any more and placed it on the iron crown. A candle-like flame automatically emerged from his fingertips and a burst of power burst out.

The fleshy mouths clinging to it let out screams that echoed in the dungeon, as if they were in great pain. The spreading flesh was twitching constantly, as if the earth was shaking. A scream as loud as thunder pierced my ears. It was the giant beast squirming!
The exaggerated noise made everyone panic. Even Lance was a little panicked, but he didn't dare to show it.

If it had really collapsed, everyone would have died. Fortunately, as time passed, it soon calmed down again.

"You guys take a break first, and the four of you come with me to clean up this blood and flesh."

Lance did not rush to move on, but gave them a rest, took out food and water, and sugar could relieve their tense nerves at this time.

Lance did not take a rest during this time, but led four guards to remove the flesh and blood around them as sacrifices to replenish the spiritual energy that had just been consumed.

It’s strange to say, the temple guardian looked very powerful, but he didn’t drop any equipment. He is really useless.

They were like butchers constantly cutting up the flesh and blood. With each chop, large chunks of flesh and blood were peeled off for sacrifice.

While Lance was taking action, he also gave the spiritual power he obtained to his personal guards as a blessing. The strengthened personal guards continued to peel off the flesh and blood tirelessly, like a perpetual motion machine.

In the beginning, Lance had a hard time collecting spirituality and could only do so with careful calculations, but the spirituality was still insufficient and he could only strengthen it bit by bit. The spirituality required to advance to the so-called master or champion was even more out of reach for him.

I didn’t expect that I could splurge freely today. It feels so good to eat meat from my ancestor’s bowl!

After the team was cleaned up, they took a brief rest and set out again. There were flesh and blood monsters along the way, but with this team configuration, they were simply crushed.

Until you enter the holy temple again.

"Get out!"

Lance shouted and the four members of the guards team retreated, leaving Baldwin and the others to face the enemy.

Only this time the cathedral was huddled at the back, and in front of it was the oddly shaped flesh hound.

The monster's body was different from those deformed flesh and blood. It was thin overall, with a simple skeleton supporting smooth flesh and blood like a membrane. It was not standing, but on all fours, and had two slender hands with sharp ends.

On its head are densely packed black eyeballs, its mouth is a ring-shaped mouth like an octopus's with a circle of tentacles of varying lengths, and there is a row of sharp spines on its back.

The Flesh Hound, the reason for this name is probably related to its canine posture, although Lance doesn't know why the ancestor's "hound" has tentacles and six limbs.

But the hounds reacted really quickly and rushed towards them almost as soon as they entered.

Similarly, the Sanctuary hiding in the back also used [Revelation] as a greeting gift at the beginning, locking onto Junia in the back row.

But everyone on the field had already eaten it once, and the Burning Amulet made them more immune, so they were not even affected at all.

However, the next move of the temple was beyond everyone's expectations, because along with the revelation came the flying bone spurs.

Needle sniper!

This action was beyond Junia's expectations, because the previous temple guardian had never shown similar abilities.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Lance raised his shield to block in front of Junia, but the bone spur actually pierced through the shield. Fortunately, the steel shield specially made by Lance was really a thick iron plate. The bone spur penetrated part of it, but it was too weak to penetrate and got stuck on the shield.

Because the distance was close enough, Lance could feel the poison on the bone spur. If he was pierced, it would be troublesome.

"Everyone be careful, the monster will shoot bone spurs, and they're damn poisonous!"

Lance reminded everyone to look over there, and they discovered that although this creature was roughly the same as the Guardian of the Temple, with a human body and a scorpion tail, its lower body did not have so many shells, but was made up of twisted flesh and blood with black eyeballs on it.

Similarly, the tail end is not a green stinger, but a mass of swollen flesh with countless bone spurs. The longest one just now was shot out under the push of the muscles, and you can see the constantly wriggling flesh cavity, in which a new one is slowly growing.

Not a Dharma Protector, but a Templar Warlord!

Baldwin and the others couldn't care less because the two flesh hounds were already attacking.

But they did not expect that this thing actually had its own methods. When it was still some distance away, it opened its tentacles, and a bluish-purple tentacle covered with suction cups at the end stretched out from its mouthparts in the middle and shot out in an instant.

Baldwin reacted faster and swung his sword with his backhand to cut the tentacles in half. With such speed and precision, he was a true swordsman.

But Bahrain was a beat slower to react. The tentacles had already grabbed onto the armor, with the suction cups clinging tightly in an attempt to drag it.

But the size difference between the two was really funny. The Flesh Hound pulled hard but Balin didn't move at all.

Given the speed the Flesh Hound just displayed, it would be difficult for Balin to catch it, but isn't it courting death?
Balin raised his hand and grabbed the tentacle, and with a pull he dragged the hound over. It was difficult to retract it at this time because he was thrown to the ground with a "pop" sound.

Walk up quickly and step down, trample on the war!

There was an immediate crisp sound of broken bones, and the torso supported by the skeleton sank, making it impossible to even stand up.

Another kick directly hit the head. Even if there were bones, they could not withstand such force and they deflated directly. The eyeballs were so fragile that they were crushed and burst like bubbles, turning into a black turbid stream that mixed with the blood and flowed out.

Junia on the other side was not at a disadvantage either. As Lance blocked the bone spurs, she reacted by raising her torch and summoning a lightning bolt to strike the Templar warlord.

Lance carried the big shield and rushed towards the warlord, not caring about delaying other teammates first.

The warlord had just been washed by the holy light, and by the time it reacted, it had to feel the power of Lance's unreserved shield charge.

Shield Bash!

With a dull "bang", the big shield came into close contact with the warlord. Even though there was a size difference between the two, the result was that the warlord was repelled.

Unfortunately, the distance was too long, which gave the warlord time to react and put his pincers in front of him to cushion the attack. Otherwise, Lance would have been able to stun it and then cut off its tail.

The huge body of the Templar Warlord took a few steps back before finally regaining its balance. At this time, Baldwin and Barin also killed the flesh hounds and caught up.

There was a brief standoff between the two sides. After all, the momentum of the three big men was enough to overwhelm the brainless warlord.

"Do it!"

Lance didn't give it any chance at all, he just shouted and started to attack the monster...
