Chapter 266: The Conch Message "Can you open the seal of that bridge over there?" Anti asked while stepping on a around, the Sealight Cathedral, which had remained well guarded even after the collapse of Havendes and had never been ravaged by war and chaos, suffered cruel treatment. All the sea creatures guarding this place are no match for the humans in front of them. All the defensive works were completely unable to do anything to the enemy, and their bodies were even stronger than those of the sea people who were proud of their strong bodies. It was totally unbelievable! "Sin... sinful human! Me!" Snap! Anti casually swung the lantern in his hand and smashed the fish into pieces. However, after this smash, the big lantern he had been carrying all the way to kill them finally couldn't bear the weight and broke into pieces. The big mouth happily harvested the seafood around it. Looking back at the place where he had rushed in, he had plowed out a path, and the ground was littered with seafood carcasses and debris. For seafood, this scene could be described as a massacre scene. Fighting his way from the main gate to the door of the church hall, Anti would occasionally ask questions to the sea creatures who seemed frightened by him. But unfortunately, the sea creatures here seem to be very pious, with faith and pursuits.
So Anti can only be a little troublesome. In front of me is the main building of the cathedral. The heavy door seems impossible to open from this side, and there is no mechanism of any kind to be found. Anti reached out and gently touched the rough door, leaving a crosshair mark on it. Bang! "Can't this be opened from this side?" The fragments of the gate were scattered in front of him. Anti waved his hand to clear away the dust and walked into the cathedral, and saw the spacious interior. With the light of the sea, it was not as dark as the bottom of the sea, but very bright and clear. Anti walked towards the center of the church. At this moment, an unusual sound of flowing water suddenly sounded. In the blue light, the black water quickly gathered and finally formed a puddle. Wow! A sturdy arm stretched out from the puddle. It was covered with fine scales in a dark blue color. Water droplets dripped from its sharp claws. It gripped the ground next to it with force and pulled the body behind it out of the puddle. The ugly anglerfish head followed closely behind. The already ugly deep-sea fish face was forcibly fused with the human skeleton, becoming horrible. The lantern bait on the top of the head also lost its luster and was stained with a rich black color. A creepy growl came out of that mouth, and it was not until it grabbed a dark blue robe from somewhere, put it on, and put a crown on itself that Anti could truly recognize the other party's identity. [“Pope of the Church of Light”, Bilalhays: The last Pontiff of the Church of Light of Helvendes. As the abyss invaded and chaos broke out, the response of the Light of the Sea became weaker and weaker. It made a choice, until in the end, it was also deeply involved, and fell into the abyss with the Church of Light. ] It is the Pope, and this Pope is not a simple sea creature, but a sea man who has merged with humans under the influence of the abyss! If this matter were to get out, no one would believe it. The night sky directly displayed the information, but there seemed to be no breath of the wandering god's curse. Anti thought about it and guessed that it might be related to the abyss. Boss Andnight might be hinting to Anti through this method that even if the abyss-infected entity in front of him is not a wandering god, he should not be taken lightly. This is also Andnight's usual little thought.
"The fact that you can still stand here means that you still have basic sanity, right?" Anti asked. The monster panted, then took heavy steps towards Anti. "Help me open the bridge to the east." Anti said friendly. And the Pope responded to Antioch with his claws! Swish! But its claws were easily dodged, and then the hammer enlarged in front of its eyes and came into direct contact with its face. The collision between the blunt weapon and flesh and blood turned into a muffled sound. The monster staggered, but became extremely ferocious. The power of the abyss surged and forced Anti to retreat. The lantern on its head trembled violently, and it waved its two claws at Antii in the air, splashing a large amount of black water. Unexpectedly, Anti directly revealed his hidden hands, used the miracle of silence to solidify the black water directly, then used the miracle of palm space to knead it, and smashed it back with his backhand. The monster was knocked unconscious, but its enormous power was far from dead. It pounded the ground with both hands, and the sea light in the church became dim, gradually changing from its original light blue color to a dark purple. Then, the water seemed to grow heavier. Especially the sea water under your feet, which began to turn darker and heavier, and finally a shallow area of water formed at the bottom of the sea. Anti silently pulled out the Holy Sword of Worship, then stabbed it into his body again with the backhand to stimulate the weapon's potential power, ready to go. The monster Pope took out a scepter that was like a hammer from the water, then jumped high and brought the scepter down on the head. Anti suddenly burst forward and sped up, shifting his body so that the opponent's heavy attack missed. The Pope missed and turned around to sweep, but Anti ran back immediately and cut under the monster's tall body, perfectly avoiding the opponent's connecting moves by taking advantage of the height difference. Then, he used the stone hammer in his hand and the Blood Worship Holy Sword in parallel to perform a set of smooth combos. The stone hammer struck fiercely, breaking through the armor, and the holy sword circled continuously to cut the flesh and blood, taking away the blood from the opponent. Bang! Before the Pope could resist, he fell to his knees. One of its legs was instantly removed by Anti. "Roar!!!" The urgent roar made the fluctuating black water under their feet become violent, and then caused explosions one after another. A series of explosions blew away Antido, who almost seized the opportunity to execute the opponent directly on the head. Anti rolled in the water and stood up lightly, feeling the pain eroding deep into his flesh. The real power of the abyss is not the mad fishman who was eroded in the previous minor fight. This is the pain I felt when fighting with Lindsay. This erosion ability is the manifestation of being truly eroded by the abyss and then mastering the power of the abyss. This thing is like a cancer attached to the bone and cannot be cured by ordinary treatment. It first grows in the body, and then interferes with the spirit through the body. If there is only a little bit, it can still be forced out of the body. If there is too much, it may be saved by immediately removing the contaminated area. But if the amount of contamination is large and the coverage area is large, it will be troublesome. However, Lebanon's regeneration can fully withstand it.
As for the erosion of the spirit by the abyss, Anti had already experienced it when he used the miracle of the abyss to consume his sensory power, the pain that penetrated deep into the soul. So for him, these are still within his tolerable range. Excellent adaptability and good habits are the basis for becoming strong. The Pope monster in front of him kept waving the scepter in his hand, using it completely as a hammer. Even though there was only a shallow puddle of water under him, the alien water power generated by the combination of the abyss caused huge waves. A wave was approaching, and Anti took a step forward, bringing down the heavy hammer with the most complete and concise gesture. Bang! The wave collapsed, and another wave followed! Turning around, the Blood Cult Holy Sword slashed forward, splitting the wave in front of him into two. The waves kept hitting, but Antii kept his steps steady, responding with the weapon in his hand again and again. The excellent sense of rhythm makes Anti feel like he is playing a music game. Until he approached the Pope little by little, and suddenly took out the folding knife that he had prepared for a long time with his empty hand. The Pope monster's scepter smashed down on Antio. Ding! With a crisp sound, the Pope's tall body suddenly softened and fell in front of Anti. Anti neutralized all physical impacts, but the power just carried by the scepter still washed over his body. The bones in his body creaked and his flesh was squeezed and twisted. But he managed to survive, first releasing the Miniature Eternal Night to envelop a small area in darkness, and then casting the Predatory Shadow. As for the predatory mark, it was already struck with the first blow of the hammer. Now all it takes is one move, execution. Boom! The sound, like thunder from the bottom of the sea, spread over a wide area, causing the cathedral complex to shake slightly as if an earthquake had occurred. The sound could be heard in the surrounding parishes. …… An anglerfish believer struggled to swim out of the cathedral. It was lucky enough not to be killed by Anti's raid, and then when the battle broke out between Anti and the Pope, it carefully followed to the cathedral and saw what happened inside. The Pope transformed into a sea monster, but was finally hunted cruelly by the darkness. When the loud noise was heard, the anglerfish believers swam out desperately and swam up to a tower built on a giant coral pillar next to the church complex. There is a large conch shell hanging on the tower. It hit the conch hard, and the conch made a sound like a heavy bell, spreading into the distance. Boom-! The ancient conch shell made a long-lost sound, spreading the message to the vast Seavenders and even the surrounding areas. Countless crazy sea creatures were stimulated by the sound of the conch and started fighting each other. Countless rational sea creatures and even humans who were taking action raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound. The conch brought a message that the Pope of the Light Church had abandoned the Light of the Sea and fell into the abyss. The predatory darkness clings to sinful humans and makes a comeback, preying on the gloomy light.
