The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 379: Fire of Sin
Richard led the two of them towards Irithyll, crossed the bridge connecting to the city, and a barrier appeared before them.

"Pope Sullivan has sealed off this city. If you want to get in, you have to break the barrier!" Sister Friede said as she touched the barrier.

"Barrier? What should I do? Let me see if I can break it!" As he said that, the Onion Knight drew out the Storm Binder, first gathering its energy, and then slashed at the barrier in front of him.

"clang!"

The barrier flickered slightly, and then the Onion Knight was bounced away by a strong force.

"It seems we need to find the right way to enter." Onion Knight scratched his head.

"No need to go through so much trouble!" Richard stepped forward and stretched out his arm to press on the barrier covering the city.

"Analyzing the protective barrier."

"Analysis completed. Obtaining barrier permissions"

"Obtain enchantment authority."

The next second, the originally closed barrier suddenly opened an elliptical archway. Richard waved to the two of them, then walked straight through the barrier.

"Wow!"

"You can actually open the barrier here? How did you do it?" The Onion Knight said in surprise, and Sister Friede next to him also had a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"It's very simple. All the barriers have passwords. As long as the password is correct, you can gain access. I will first analyze the structure of the magic barrier, and then adjust the magic power to be consistent with the barrier's password."

Sister Friede: ???

Onion Knight: ???
Easy? Yes, it sounds easy.
Because of the barrier, Irithyll cannot be seen clearly from the outside, but after entering, I found that the city was very deserted, the streets were empty, and there seemed to be no one.

"It seems that this place has also withered. That's right, the whole world has become that horrible thing, how can this place be an exception!" Sister Friede sighed slightly.

Richard released his mental power and spread it outwards, and soon found some human figures moving around: "There are people over there, go and take a look."

As they spoke, the group rushed there. After entering the city, they soon saw a figure wearing full body armor. The figure was covered with a layer of mist, and the scimitar in his hand flashed with cold light. After seeing the three people, he immediately rushed up.

"Corrupted aura discovered. Abyssal erosion discovered."

Seeing the knight's appearance, Richard already knew that he had lost his humanity and turned into a zombie eroded by the power of the abyss.

"It's the Pope Knight! Be careful!" The Onion Knight drew his sword and rushed forward.

"There are enemies behind us!" Sister Friede flashed and rushed forward.

"Be careful of the wizard!" At this moment, a fireball flew towards him.

——【Counter Spell! 】

——【Advanced force field deflection!】 Two spells flashed and fell on the enemy and us respectively.

The fireball was deflected by a strange force and hit the ground nearby, flames gushing out, and the remaining people who were casting spells had their spells interrupted instantly. According to Richard's current intelligence, few people could withstand his spell counterattack.

Richard's figure flashed and he instantly appeared in front of the mages. These women in black robes looked at Richard one after another. Their originally beautiful faces had become zombie-like, with only madness left in their eyes. It was obvious that these women had all turned into zombies.

——【The Pope’s Witch! 】

"There's no hope!" Richard sighed. If there was still hope, he wouldn't mind saving them.

The next second, balls of arcane fire flew out instantly. The silver arcane fire was extremely fast and penetrated into the bodies of the zombies in a flash. Then, the originally weak flames burned fiercely at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, these witches were burned to ashes.

The silver arcane fire turned back into flames and returned to Richard's hands, while the Onion Knight and Sister Friede also killed those Papal Knights.

The commotion here attracted the attention of other enemies, and another team of Papal Knights rushed over, but they were burned to ashes by the Austrian fire in the blink of an eye.

Next, the group continued to travel through Irithyll. Almost everyone in Irithyll had turned into zombies. In this world, as long as the indigenous people could still speak, they basically retained some sanity. If they couldn't even speak, they were basically hopeless.

In Irithyll, some people did not even meet a person who could speak. Finally, a few people walked along the steps of the square and came to the largest church in the city.

This building is located in the center of the city. There is a huge square in front of the church, which shows that this is the most important building in the city. Richard also sensed that there is a powerful, chaotic and greedy force in the church.

"Pope Sullivan should be in here." Friede said, looking at the two kneeling statues of girls at the entrance of the church.

"Who is Sullivan?" asked the Onion Knight. As an undead, he had also lost a lot of memories, and now he could only remember the most important ones.

"An ambitious man, a traitor to the gods who was simply born in the wrong era." Friede said lightly.

"Let's go!" Richard walked in first.

When they reached the steps, several knights not far away immediately rushed over here. A lot of beast transformation had appeared on these knights. These Protoss knights had been transformed into half-human, half-beast by Sullivan. Richard casually shot out a few arcane fires and burned these zombies into ashes.

"It seems that Shalivan has also become a zombie." Sister Friede said, "I'm afraid these gods are going to be extinct."

Richard waved his hand lightly, and a force pushed open the heavy door of the cathedral in front of him. Then a magnificent and solemn hall appeared in front of him. The whole hall was luxuriously decorated with a lot of gold decorations.

Rows of empty seats, in front of a tall altar, with two female statues standing on either side. In the middle of these statues, a tall figure kneeled on one knee.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Evil aura discovered!"

"Discover the Greed Field!"

"Discover the Chaos Realm!"

"Corruption detected!"

As the system tower spirit sounded, Sullivan's body slowly stood up. At this time, the three people also saw Sullivan's appearance clearly. Only the upper half of his tall body was intact, but the lower part of his chest had completely turned into a burnt shell, with black ribs exposed and a lot of holes on his body.

——【Pope Salivan!】【Corruption】【Pollution from the Abyss】【Fire of Sin】【Madness】. Salivan stood up and was extremely tall, like a little giant. His gorgeous robe was burned with many holes, and his exposed body became as dry and ugly as a mummy. He held a burning sword in each hand.

"He actually wants to devour the fire of sin." Seeing Sullivan's look, Fried said in surprise.

The fire of sin fell from the sky and burned all the living people in the City of Sin. It is said that it was created by the greed and desire in people's hearts. It would make a person's desires and ambitions grow infinitely, and finally burn their bodies in the flames.

Only a soul noble enough can suppress it.

It is obvious that Pope Sullivan's soul is not noble. After all, he is an ambitious man. The desires in his heart are much stronger than those of ordinary people. Naturally, the fire of sin will cause greater damage to him.

The current Pope Sullivan not only failed to absorb and control the Fire of Sin, but was burned into a hollow shell by the Fire of Sin and became a puppet of the Fire of Sin.

Sullivan's figure instantly pounced towards Richard.

"Be careful, there's the fire of sin on his weapon!" Sister Friede beside him quickly reminded.

"boom!"

The burning flames flew out in all directions, and the area around the hall immediately caught fire, while Sister Friede and the Onion Knight dodged the flames. The golden scepter in Richard's hand flashed with dazzling brilliance, and the surrounding flames were directly pushed away. The hard marble floor also cracked like a spider web.

With a flash of golden light, Richard's figure disappeared in an instant, and then appeared above Sullivan's body in an instant, and the golden staff in his hand smashed down fiercely.

Sullivan had no time to dodge, and his whole body was smashed down.

The fire of sin in his body touched Richard, but instead of burning up, it was directly extinguished by an invisible force.

"Be careful, this fire of sin only burns the flesh." Richard reminded, then rushed down instantly.

He appeared in front of Pope Shalivan again, and the golden scepter smashed down again, directly interrupting his attack. However, Pope Shalivan, who had become a puppet of the Fire of Sin, had completely lost his sense of pain, and continued to attack with the two swords in his hands.

Although he had become a shell, Pope Sullivan still inherited his superb combat awareness. He wielded the two greatswords of sin very skillfully, and each strike brought forth fire snakes flying around.

After being knocked away by Richard several times, Sullivan's body began to glow, and a shadow quickly solidified, and another identical Pope Sullivan appeared before his eyes.

——【Pope Salivan!】【Corruption】【Pollution from the Abyss】【Fire of Sin】【Madness】【True Mirror Image】.

As soon as the two Shali appeared, they immediately attacked like three people, and the four great swords of sin slashed at Richard fiercely.

The fire of sin sealed off the surrounding space. Richard sneered, "Are you the only one who can clone yourself?"

——【True Mirror Image! + Spell Extreme Effect + Multicast! 】

As the words fell, more than a dozen rays of light flashed around, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Richards appeared in the hall, and then all the "Richards" rushed towards Sullivan.

Dozens of golden scepters struck back and forth.

Sullivan was hit like a golf ball and flew out. The next second, another 'Richard' appeared behind him and hit him out with a magic wand again.

The Sullivan in front of him was beaten back and forth in the hall, and he couldn't even touch the ground. But in just a few breaths, the real mirror image of Sullivan was broken up, leaving only the real Sullivan being beaten back and forth.

"This..." The Onion Knight was stunned. He realized that he didn't need to fight at all in this battle. A dozen mirror images beat Pope Sullivan without any chance to fight back. He and Sister Friede could just stand aside and watch the show.

"Is Richard so powerful?" Onion Knight asked Friede beside him.

"Isn't this normal?" Sister Friede said calmly. She had witnessed Richard take action several times along the way. Whether it was the Fire King or those corrupted monsters, it was almost effortless.

"Okay, how about some elemental soup?" The Onion Knight seemed a little tired after fighting all the way, so he found a corner, sat down by himself, lit a bonfire, and took out a pot from somewhere and put it directly on the bonfire.

Sister Friede looked at Richard who was fighting, and then looked at the Onion Knight who was making a fire and boiling soup. She didn't know whether she was crazy or there was something wrong with this world.

'Gulp, gulp.'

A series of bubbles rolled up, and soon the aroma of vegetable soup emanated from the big pot.

On the other side, Richard once again knocked Pope Sullivan's body away, and the staff in the hand of the other Richard instantly lit up with dazzling golden light.

——【Sword of Destruction! 】

A powerful aura of destruction enveloped the staff, and the power of the law of space emerged. The surrounding space even showed signs of being torn apart, and some faint cracks appeared around it.

"It's over!"

--"flash!"

Richard instantly appeared behind Pope Sullivan, and taking advantage of the moment when Sullivan's body was stiff and out of control, he swung the golden staff in his hand and chopped it down fiercely at his head.

The powerful force of space tore apart all of Pope Salivan's defenses. Even the fire of sin on his body was torn apart by the force of space. The powerful force of space directly tore apart Pope Salivan's body.

Originally only a body remained, supported by the fire of chaos and sin, Pope Salivan was split in two. The fire of sin rose and soon burned his body into ashes.

Two flaming swords fell to the ground, and soon the flames on the swords converged towards the middle, and finally merged into a ball of strange, immortal flame.

——【The Fire of Sin: The fire comes from the deepest part of the City of Sin. Legend has it that it was born from people’s greedy desires. It contains the endless greed and desires of mankind, and the extreme desire for all flesh and souls. It can magnify the original sin in the heart and the endless ambition.】

Looking at the strange eternal flame in front of him, Richard thought for a moment, and a ball of silver fire appeared. Then a wisp of flame separated from the fire and began to approach the fire of sin.

Arcane fire is a kind of fire of rules mastered by arcanists in their study of the nature of the universe and the world. It is extremely powerful. This fire can ignore armor, resistance, spells, etc., and can also cause real damage to ancient evil creatures.

Seeing this wisp of fire of sin, Richard suddenly had an idea and wanted to devour it with the arcane fire.

Soon the Austrian Fire came into contact with the Fire of Sin. As soon as the two different flames came into contact, the Austrian Fire felt a sense of hunger, and the Fire of Sin and the Austrian Fire began to devour each other.

Seeing this scene, Richard immediately increased his mana output. The arcane fire instantly surged and directly wrapped up the ray of fire of sin, and they began to devour each other.
