Path of Light.

Chapter 520 521. Assassin in Black
The shadow of a sacred tree emerged from behind Roy. At this time, after the sacred tree absorbed a large amount of the power of holy light, flowers of light suddenly bloomed among the lush branches and leaves.

The rich sacred aura began to drift outwards with the sacred tree. Roy stood under the tree, and his body was also exuding a faint holy light.

He raised his arms and found a faint divine aura flowing through his sleeves.

Roy stood there, carefully feeling the subtle changes brought to his body when he was promoted...

Feeling an inexplicable power pouring into his body rapidly, Roy had mixed feelings at this moment.

The first thing he thought of was High Priest Reed in the Dark Land. He still remembered what High Priest Reed said to him before going to Golfito's headquarters. High Priest Reed told Roy about the path to promotion in the future. Roy may have to grope his way forward...

At this moment, he was standing on the terrace, and suddenly he had the urge to shout loudly.

It took Roy seven years to be promoted from a trainee priest to a first-level great priest...

Then the faces of Priest Theodore and Priest Andyson appeared in Roy's mind. At the Temple of Liberty in Castletown, Priest Andyson could not feel the sacred blessing of the Statue of Liberty, probably because he felt that he There was no hope of promotion in this life, so he decided to fight to the death to break through his own level. In the end, his vitality was completely exhausted and he died.

Unlike Priest Anderson's despair, Priest Theodore took risks to steal the Holy Grail of Wisdom in the temple in order to break through the shackles of his body.

Priest Theodore and Priest Andyson were both devout believers in the Statue of Liberty, but their deaths were more or less related to the inability to get a response from the Statue of Liberty.

Roy felt that after his body was washed by the holy light, his five senses became sharper than before...

He flipped open the Book of Judgment on his waist, and a 'Hammer of Judgment' made purely from the power of holy light appeared in his hand. A small silver hammer exuded a strong sacred aura.

Unfortunately, the carefully planned theft operation was inadvertently destroyed by a group of slave traders who came to the port to supply supplies...

Roy found that sounds that were originally difficult to hear gradually reached his ears...

Roy saw five assassins in black distributed in a fan shape, surrounding him, and immediately threw out the hammer of punishment in his hand. The small hammer with silver dark patterns quietly smashed out and flew straight to an assassin in black. in front of.

In the dark night, the scenes hidden in the darkness now have a clear sense of hierarchy in Roy's eyes.

The hammer of judgment flew out with a faint sacred light,

Roy felt that his body and the sacred tree were slowly integrating...

Roy threw the Hammer of Judgment in his hand, and the silver hammer turned into a silver glow, flew out of the courtyard, and fell into the Danne River across the street.

Roy stood in front of the terrace, holding a small silver hammer exuding a faint sacred aura in each hand. A sacred tree with a tree of light flowers appeared behind him, and a sacred aura enveloped Roy's body... …

After the Punishment Hammer is summoned, it will spread outward along the spiral trajectory. The Holy Light Hammer carries an unstoppable force and can force all surrounding enemies away.

Under the illumination of the faint holy light, Roy suddenly discovered the black-clothed assassin hiding behind the courtyard wall with a black mask on his head. They were also staring at Roy on the terrace at this moment, but they did not expect that his body It was actually revealed...

After the Hammer of Judgment is summoned, it will have very powerful penetrating power.

At this time, Roy had just taken a shower. He was not wearing the magic pattern structure, and he was holding a thick book of judgment in his hand...

The Hammer of Sanctions is the most difficult to learn among the three magical arts. Now with Roy's thoughts, his fingers actually drew the magic pattern array smoothly. Along with the prayers hummed in his mouth, a silver handle The dark-patterned hammer appeared in Roy's hand.

This tree does not absorb the surrounding sacred power from its roots, but a small magic vortex is formed in Roy's body. At this moment, it is rotating around the sacred tree. Countless shimmering particles of holy light are almost all Return to the sacred tree.

In fact, Roy has never been able to master the Hammer of Sanction. Although he is very familiar with the divine patterns and prayers, Roy rarely uses this magic. The main reason is that even if Roy uses it, the success rate is extremely low...

He looked across the Danne River to the dark sea in the distance.

In addition to teaching Roy the concentrated 'blessing' magic, High Priest Reed also taught Roy the three offensive magics of 'Hammer of Judgment', 'Hammer of Punishment' and 'Hammer of Sanction'.

The five black-clad assassins jumped over the courtyard wall and arrived under the terrace in a few jumps.

The assassin in black turned sideways to avoid the silver hammer. The next second, the silver hammer suddenly disappeared. When the silver hammer appeared again, it was only one finger away from the forehead of the assassin in black.

With a bang, the silver hammer hit the assassin in black on the head.

The black-clothed assassin's waist, which was originally arched forward, suddenly leaned back and lay straight on the ground...

Although Roy knocked out one black-clothed assassin, the other black-clothed assassins had already rushed forward.

They jumped onto the terrace, quickly adjusted their direction, and surrounded Roy firmly in the middle.

Roy had calmed down at this moment, and then he discovered that although these masked assassins in black had their faces covered and were wearing tight-fitting black clothes, it was very obvious. It could be seen from the outline of their bodies that these assassins in black were not elves. They look more like humans.

Roy's eyes tightened. Moira and Sabrina next door were not here at the moment.

Mrs. Winnie's night saber also followed her to the Partington plane, but did not come back this time.

Therefore, at this time, Roy could only rely on his excellent adaptability to rush towards the door behind him, and he also took the opportunity to inject sacred power into the Book of Judgment in his hand.

The assassin in black held a black dagger in his hand. The moment he approached Roy, he stabbed him in the back of the heart. The dagger turned into a white light in an instant...

Roy took the opportunity to raise the sacred scepter to block. The dagger stabbed the handle of the scepter, causing Roy to hit the terrace door.

The wooden door shattered...

Roy fell into the room on the second floor, and several black-clothed assassins followed Roy. He heard a series of shattering sounds from the windows.

Jumping into the living room on the first floor, Roy opened the Book of Judgment again. A silver hammer appeared in Roy's hand again. Roy turned around and threw the silver hammer out, and a silver light hit the chasing black hammer. Clothed Assassin.

Roy took the opportunity to run towards the door...

The killer is very powerful. At such a close distance, Roy calmly dodged the silver hammer he hit...

Under the pursuit of the assassins in black, Roy was forced to retreat, and he had no power to fight back.

The assassin in black behind him had already scratched several blood marks on Roy's body. Roy staggered out of the courtyard and ran along Brown Street towards the port terminal.

There are elven guards on the dock, and you can find some helpers just by running over there.

Unfortunately, the bodies of the black-clothed assassins behind him were like charging springs. Every time Roy used his familiarity with the terrain to throw them away, but then these black-clothed assassins would catch up immediately, and their bodies were full of explosive power. Every time he tightens his body, and then uses the explosive power gained when he stretches his body, he can rush towards Roy like a cannonball.

They were obviously running faster than Roy. Roy ran from the yard to the street. Before he could run two more steps along Brown Street, he found two assassins in black emerging in front of him and stopped Roy.

These assassins in black surrounded Roy again. This time, he had several wounds on his body, and the blood stained his clothes red...

Roy leaned against the courtyard wall, panting and looking at the assassins in black around him.

Unexpectedly, he had just been promoted to the rank of Great Priest, and before he knew much about his abilities, he would be surrounded by assassins in black.

These assassins in black gathered around and almost all stared at Roy...

The dagger in his hand stabbed Roy's body, but Roy could only hold the Book of Judgment to barely resist the dagger.

At this time, a dagger just hit the Book of Judgment, and Roy hit the wall firmly.

The other daggers stabbed Roy's throat, heart, and abdomen without hesitation...

Roy didn't even figure out who sent such a group of black assassins this time. Seeing the daggers stabbing him from all directions, a sense of despair quietly filled his heart.

Just before the dagger reached the neck, a flash of dark light streaked across the night sky and stabbed into the black-clothed assassin's head...

It was a black feather arrow that flew silently and passed through his body without any hindrance.

An arrow in the darkness shot through the head of an assassin. He fell straight to the ground, and his blood-stained head fell heavily on the stone slab on the street...

The other black-clothed assassins were so frightened that Roy took the opportunity to grab the Book of Judgment and push the assassins in front of him away.

Then another arrow flew from the darkness and hit an assassin in black steadily.

In the blink of an eye, three assassins in black were shot by arrows flying in the darkness.

The last remaining assassin in black did not pursue Roy anymore, but rushed straight towards the Dane River...

But before he could run a few meters away, a black arrow pierced his back, causing him to fall down on Brown Street.

Roy was sitting on the wall of the street, breathing heavily. His whole body was stained red with blood. Although it looked like he had shed a lot of blood, the wounds on his body were not fatal.

Although the assassins in black were only hit by one arrow each, all of them were fatally wounded. The bodies of the assassins in black who fell on the ground even began to get cold.

Kill with one blow.

Roy looked towards the shadows with some horror. The black-clothed assassin, whom he couldn't get rid of even though he tried his best, was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party...

……

Byron Thor slowly walked out from the dark corner, holding a bow wrapped with cloth in his hand. He walked slowly to the corpses of the black-clad assassins lying on the street, and inserted the black arrows into their bodies. , carefully pulled it out.

Although he still smelled of alcohol and his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, murderous intent was surging out of them.

After picking up all the arrows, he glanced at Roy, nodded to him, and turned around to leave.

Roy quickly followed him, and after walking a few steps he panted and shouted:
"Your Excellency Byron Thor, thank you for your help!"

Byron Phil waved his hand quickly, and then walked forward without looking back.

Roy endured the pain on his body and followed Byron Phil stubbornly. Byron Phil stopped in front of an assassin in black, squatted down and took off the black scarf from his face.

Roy discovered that the assassin in black was indeed a human...

"It's not easy for you to offend these human assassins. You should be careful when traveling!" Byron Phil mumbled something vaguely, and then said to Roy: "Stop following me. Follow me again." Me, I’ll shoot an arrow in you too!”

"I heard that the mission you accepted before was to fight dark creatures in a dark place, so I want to ask you about an elder. He is a mixed elf and a great priest. He went to the dark place a few years ago. There has been no news recently..."

Roy stood behind Byron Phil and said.

Byron Phil's body shook slightly. He turned around and stared at Roy with a pair of sharp eyes.

Roy did not flinch and said directly to Byron Phil:

"Can you tell me about the situation in the dark place? One of my elders is there to resist the army of dark creatures!"

"...Who?" Byron Phil hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Priest Reed, have you heard of this name?" Roy replied casually.

"I have met Reed, he is also a human priest." Byron Phil said calmly.

Roy had not heard from High Priest Reed for a long time. This time he heard Byron Phil say this and immediately became excited: "Do you know him?"

Byron Phil's eyes fell on Roy's face, his expression not as sharp as before.

He said in a heavy voice: "Of course, he is the high priest in the Temple of Liberty. During those days in the dark land, for a period of time, we were in an army to fight against those dark creatures..."

When he said this, Byron Phil stopped, as if he thought of something bad, and his face became terrifyingly gloomy.

"Can you tell me about the situation over there?" Roy asked again.

Byron Thor paused for a moment before saying:
"Their situation there is very bad. The living conditions there are not only very difficult, but even the supplies of various materials are completely insufficient. During the time in the Dark Land, I was fortunate to get some help from High Priest Reed. But later we were besieged by dark creatures, and most of the mercenary group members died in that battle."

"I was also injured. I came back from the Dark Land almost alone. Not many of those mercenary groups could come out of the Dark Land alive."

His voice was extremely dull. Standing on the street, he began to tell Roy about the battle in the dark land.

Only then did Roy know that it was not only the priests in the Temple of Liberty who entered the dark place, but actually there were also some mercenary groups who followed the priests into the dark place after accepting the mission.
