The villain's goal is to save the heroine

When it comes to dealing with the undead, the church has always been at the upper hand.

"Oh, aren't you going to run away?" Latiya asked in confusion.

Since the lead plan failed, then let's try the drive-away plan next. These weak little things will find the source for her in order to seek shelter!

Chapter 309 Trapped Latia

It turns out that there is nothing wrong with Latia's idea.

Although things like "Undead" look intimidating, it is undeniable that they do not have the same sound logic as humans.

Their ideology only retains a part of their obsession, and they can only react to it. The rest are all group characteristics of the "Undead".

For example, they are naturally afraid of "divine power".

The Saint simply held up the holy light, and the three unfortunate undead were left to flee in panic. Furthermore, they lacked the intelligence to understand Latia's reasons for doing so, and naturally fled to the "soil" of the undead.

This is exactly what Latia expected!

If we can find out the source of the power of the "Undead" and destroy it before the Witch Cult takes action, then Siena's crisis can really be successfully resolved!

It was with this driving force that Latia followed all the way regardless of the consequences.

They left the secluded alley, passed through rows of civilian residences, and gradually reached the junction of the upper and lower districts. On the main road extending from the upper district, they could see scattered "fires," torches that illuminated the night road, rendering the deserted streets like a road of living spirits.

And on this road, three fragile undead continued to flee forward.

Everything was going according to plan, and everything met Latia's expectations, but...

"Snapped!"

Latia stepped on the stone slab, her body suddenly stopped, and her footsteps stopped abruptly.

A passive attribute of "Divine Power" is that it is sensitive to malice.

This is also the reason why the church can suppress the "undead". It is a product derived from extreme emotions. If it exists as an evil spirit, the clergy will often be able to detect it at the first time!

The reason why Latia stopped suddenly was because she suddenly sensed some malicious intent emerging from the darkness around her...

She seemed to have disturbed something and was suddenly surrounded.

and so…

Has she reached a critical point?

Is the source of the "Undead" nearby?

Latiya glanced at the three weak undead and found that they had turned the corner and were about to disappear from her sight.

This made Miss Saint a little conflicted.

The concept of "nearby" is also very broad. From that deep alley to the avenue in front of her, this range is already large to a certain extent. She is not sure at what level of undead "soil" she is in.

She really wanted to follow for a distance, even if it was just a corner, the target would immediately become extremely clear!

only…

Anything further would be risky.

Evil spirits have appeared around her. If she goes any further, she will probably step into the circle of the undead and will inevitably be attacked.

However, this is how the world works. Risk and reward always coexist, and if you're too conservative, you'll often miss out on many things. Furthermore, she already seems to have alerted the enemy. If she can't get more information, wouldn't this whole journey be in vain?

Latia decided to compromise, adjusting her angle to take another look before retreating. However, just as she took a step forward, a sudden sound of air breaking was heard! The light of the "Fire" illuminated a whistling shadow, and then...

"boom!!"

A big hole was blasted out by something at the place where Miss Saint was standing. The force was so strong that judging from the degree of destruction alone, it seemed that she was almost breaking through level 70!

This is a physical force that Latia absolutely cannot withstand.

If she hadn't been mentally prepared, that blow might have killed her on the spot!

Latia was extremely shocked.

Perhaps it was because Leon and the other two were too weak that Latia developed some mysterious self-confidence, so that when she suddenly faced such overwhelming power, a blank appeared in her heart!

Yes, this was completely beyond Latiya's expectations!

In fact, she is not a person who likes to seek death. The reason why Latiya dared to take this step was not reckless, but she also considered the strength factor.

Because the power of the "Undead" is linked to the extreme emotions of humans, and humans are not an unlimited species. They have a limit, just like the magic level is always locked at level 100, and the same is true for emotional power.

In other words, the limits of human existence actually also lock the height of the undead, and they are also unable to reach a particularly high level!

Within the normal range, Latia actually deals with various accidents.

but!

The accident before him was obviously abnormal.

Even if someone is proficient in the Undead, even if he can cultivate high-level Undead, because the power of the Undead is linked to emotions, the higher the level of the Undead, the more extremely crazy they tend to be. However!

This was not the case with the undead that attacked her.

A tall figure walked out slowly from the shadows. It was wearing full armor and carrying a huge sword on its shoulder. It had no head, which was held by its other hand at its waist. Black yin energy kept bursting out like flames, as if it were a ghost. It could feel the terrifying power of the "undead", but there was no violent emotional fluctuation. Obviously, this was a product of special modification!

The witch cult priest had already mastered the enormous power of "undead" through other means. The "Dead Soul Fire" was not the witch cult's plan at all. It was just a smokescreen. When they put all their attention on it, the other party had already secretly achieved their goal in a completely unpredictable way!

No wonder…

No wonder the "Prophecy" crystal always emits a dangerous light, all their previous efforts were in vain!

Realizing this, Latia naturally stopped thinking about it. The undead before her couldn't simply be described as "undead." If it had a brain and only used ranged physical attacks, she would definitely be killed before she could purify it!

The clergy were not good at fighting, so Latia wanted to turn around and run away without hesitation, but...

"Creak, creak -"

"Creak, creak, creak -"

At some point, a group of creatures that were neither human nor ghost blocked her way on the street.

Latia didn't sense any ill will, so these things were all...

puppet!

Corpse puppet!

But it is not driven by magic, but controlled by the power of the "dead", just like a necromancer summoning a little skeleton.

But that's not the point, the point is...

“Hehehe! Hehehehehehe!!”

Then, an extremely perverted and creepy laugh emanated from the invisible shadows. Behind the countless corpse puppets, a goblin-like undead monster, its body riddled with holes and a hideous, terrifying face, emerged...

Chapter 310: Miss Saint's Great Crisis

Late at night, a main road in Siena.

"Buzz!"

As the holy light shone in the darkness, the entire street was covered in a large area of ​​holy light!

Feather-like light floated down, dispelling the darkness. The low-level undead hiding in the shadows were purified instantly. Even the headless knight could only curl up in his armor as much as possible to reduce the risk of being burned by the holy light!

Faced with the inevitable battle, Latia took the initiative and took action!

However, while this holy light was highly effective against the undead, it had little effect on the actual corpses. Therefore, Latia had no choice but to leap onto the wall, attempting to circumvent the corpses' blockade by running across the eaves, but...

"call--"

A terrifying sound of breaking through the air was heard, and then...

"Oh!"

A corpse flew towards Latia like a cannonball, and like mud, it completed a completely inelastic collision with the wall, and stuck firmly to the stone wall with a "pop"!

Fortunately, the power of the "Undead" could not inherit much magic power. The goblin-like monster did not have the special features of the Headless Horseman. The changes in the panel gave the Saint Lady room to react, and the timely stop allowed Latia to survive!

However, although the ugly undead have no inherited levels, they also have their own special features.

Perhaps it was a pervert who liked to occupy other people's bodies when it was alive, and even after death it could drill into those corpses at will. Facing the holy light of Latiya's extremely high "holy power", it actually used its flesh body to weaken the punishment of the holy light!

And the situation is not just that. At the same time, black flames burned on the attached corpse, and the "Dead Soul Fire" rushed out from the long-dead body, forming another barrier!

Although these two barriers were barely enough to block the holy light, they briefly gave the undead a certain amount of space to maneuver. As a result, the undead, like puppets, were hurled one after another at the undead! For a moment, the entire street was littered with broken limbs, and rotting flesh piled up in the corners like mud. The red and black flesh emitted a foul stench, enough to cause a devastating blow to both the body and mind!

Fortunately, the holy light has a powerful purifying effect, otherwise the scene and the air would definitely make people so sick that they wouldn’t be able to eat!

But that's not the worst, the worst is...

"Ah ah!"

As a wet nurse, Latiya doesn't have any special skills.

During the difficult dodging process, Miss Saint was still a little slow, and then a hideous corpse flew straight towards Latia's face!

"Oh!"

No sooner said than done, the puppet's corpse hit Latiya directly like a surging wave!

But it seems that it didn’t hit it completely.

The corpse seemed to have hit a rocky reef, and after the body was cut in half in front of Latiya, all kinds of objects flew to both sides, leaving a mess on the ground!

Looking again, I found that at the critical moment, Latia used holy light to build a pyramid-like barrier to keep all the filth out!

Obviously, as a saint of the church, although Tia's offensive means are insufficient and her skills are only at the lady level, she is still quite accomplished in defense, so it is natural for her to block this kind of attack of the same level.

only…

Clank, clank, clank, clank——

The metallic sound of armor colliding was heard, and the headless knight who was curled up on the ground climbed up and picked up his shield.

Yes, the price Latia paid for doing so was that if her attention and "holy power" were all used for defense, the holy light descending from the sky would also stop.

This is equivalent to giving the super undead an opportunity to act, and the consequences are undoubtedly fatal!

However, Latia could only do this.

If the Holy Light spell was interrupted because of being hit by the corpse, then she would not only have to face the Headless Horseman, but would also be contaminated by those filthy things!

That's right, one of the purposes of that ugly undead using corpses as a means of attack is to weaken the "holy power" with filth, which in itself is a win-win situation!

Latia's choice was not wrong.

However, if it was just against the undead, Latia could ignore their level and suppress the headless knight so that he could only curl up in his armor.

But if she is facing a high-level physical attack, she will be unable to fight back!

Casting a spell at this time was just forcing herself to be a target. What she had to do was to move quickly. As long as she could dodge one more attack and wait for the holy light to descend again, she could leave easily!

Yes, there were only two or three corpses left that could be discarded. As long as she could dodge the attack of the Headless Horseman again, she had absolute confidence that she could retreat safely!

But the problem is...

Is that possible?

Unfortunately, in reality, no.

The reason why Latia was able to dodge the first time was not because of how powerful she was, but because the Headless Horseman himself was only trying to stop her from moving forward, so he was not aiming at her, but at the place in front of her.

However, this time it’s different!

The headless knight has locked onto her. Faced with such a huge gap, Latia has no chance!

not to mention…

“Hehehehehehehe——”

At the same time, the ugly undead also pounced on her!

There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Unless a divine force descends from the sky,...

"call--"

The Dullahan raised his arm and swung his shield with such force that it flew directly towards Latia! Latia couldn't even see the shield's trajectory. In a split second, it appeared before her like a cannonball!

Without support, Latia would surely face death!

At this moment, Latia's mind went blank...
