PFC Chapter 148 The Elegy Of The Fallen Who Saves The Holy One!
Chapter 148 The Elegy Of The Fallen Who Saves The Holy One!
In the scene of the trial mission.
Chen Yu checked his equipment.
He was wearing a worn-out white priest robe, with a close-fitting chainmail underneath.
A cross sword over a meter long hung at his waist.
Based on the attributes, skills, and equipment, he should be a holy knight who practices both magic and martial arts.
In terms of role, he is equally proficient in offense and support, but leans more towards healing and support.
After understanding his own situation, Chen Yu did not wait in place for his true self to break free.
Instead, he followed the stone path and headed towards the direction of the small town.
The primary task now is to find the Saintess.
If he doesn't know where the Saintess is, how can he protect her?
If he acts too late and the "Saintess" dies, it would be ridiculous.
On both sides of the bluestone road are desolate mountains and wild ridges, with only the small town ahead appearing to be inhabited.
He can only go to the town first to gather information and understand the situation.
The virtual body cannot communicate with the Unsurpassable Sacred Ground and summon plant life as a means of transportation.
Fortunately, his agility and physique are both over 1000, so his traveling speed is not slow and his endurance is sufficient.
After about half an hour, Chen Yu stopped outside the small town without rushing in.
The town is filled with chaotic Abyss aura.
Most of the residents have obvious demonic features.
Chen Yu is good friends with the Abyss boss, but he doesn't buy into the idea of these heavily Abyss-corrupted town residents.
His virtual body specializes in holy power and is in an antagonistic relationship with the Abyss.
If he dares to walk into the town openly, these heavily Abyss-corrupted residents will definitely rush up and tear him to pieces.
"What should I do?"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment.
If it were his true self, he would directly display Abyss power.
By then, everyone would be relatives and friends from the Abyss, so these natives wouldn't give him a hard time.
"Let's first capture someone and gather some basic information before making a plan."
Chen Yu wandered on the outskirts of the town, looking for isolated town residents.
Not long after, he found a fallen one working in the farmland outside the town.
The fallen one's level of Abyss corruption is very high, with both arms transformed into demon-like red skin.
The Abyss magic power emanating from his body, if calculated digitally, would be at least seventy to eighty points.
His level is estimated to be just over one hundred, which means he has just reached the second stage of cultivation.
This farmland is far from the town, and there is no one else around.
Even if there is some commotion, it probably won't be noticed by anyone, causing subsequent trouble.
"Tsk tsk, it's a shame. Our employee benefits from the Abyss side need to be improved."
"Look at this old man, he is a loyal follower of ours, yet he still lives such a difficult life. He has to rely on farming to make a living at such an old age."
While sighing in his heart, Chen Yu slowly approached the fallen one who was farming.
However, when he approached within ten meters of the fallen one, he realized that he wasn't farming in the conventional sense.
The plants in the field looked like rice, but upon closer inspection, they were not.
These were plants infused with a little bit of Abyss magic power.
Next to the "farmer" were more than ten human remains.
His face was twisted, his expression fierce, but his actions were meticulous as he chopped the bodies into neat pieces.
Then he dug open the soil and buried the body parts next to the strange crops.
The fallen one's whole body was covered in flesh and blood residue.
His appearance and actions were reminiscent of classic horror movie scenes.
The strong smell of blood and decay wafted from afar, making Chen Yu feel physically uncomfortable even from ten meters away.
The pervasive Abyss aura from all directions also made his virtual body, which specializes in holy power, feel extremely uncomfortable.
"One strike to solve it!"
With a "clang," Chen Yu drew the cross sword from his waist, took a running start, leaped forward, and charged towards the fallen one.
"Who?!"
The fallen one heard a noise and suddenly turned around.
"Holy healing spell!"
In mid-air, Chen Yu quickly cast a healing spell.
The healing spell landed on the fallen one, burning his already half-demonic body like hot flames.
The fallen one immediately let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground, clutching his head.
Chen Yu descended from the air, wielding his cross-shaped sword and cutting off the fallen one's arms.
"Ah—roar—"
The fallen one's bloodshot eyes widened, emitting a beast-like howl of pain.
Chen Yu grabbed a handful of straw, stuffed it into his mouth, and then stepped on his head.
A few minutes later, the fallen one stopped screaming, and his struggling gradually weakened before Chen Yu released him.
"I ask, you answer," Chen Yu said coldly. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Holy power? You're a holy practitioner!"
The fallen one spat out the straw in his mouth and suddenly revealed a smile of anomaly towards Chen Yu.
"Swish—"
Chen Yu cut off half of the fallen one's calf with a sword.
"I ask, you answer, I don't want to say it again."
Dark purple blood splattered.
Accompanied by a strong metallic smell and a faint smell of sulfur.
Obviously, this person was about to completely transform into an Abyss demon.
"Hahaha, ha, heh, holy practitioner, the pain you have given me will be repaid a hundredfold!" The fallen one laughed maniacally.
"Swish—"
Chen Yu once again cut off a portion of the fallen one's calf with a sword, saying coldly:
"Every time, if you answer off-topic, I will cut off a part of your body."
"Think carefully before speaking!"
"Hehe, I know what you want to ask and what you're looking for!" The fallen one grinned, revealing an even more insane smile.
"Your companions will be sacrificed to the great demon god!"
"The soul of a holy practitioner will be the most delicious offering!"
"You will—"
"Swish—"
Chen Yu directly cut off the fallen one's head with a sword.
"If you had said it earlier, it would have been done. You just had to beat around the bush and act like a lunatic."
"No wonder you're treated poorly."
"Our reputation in the Abyss has been ruined by parasites like you."
The fallen farmer had already made it clear.
A holy practitioner had been captured and was about to be sacrificed to the Abyss demon.
In this remote wilderness, where did so many holy practitioners come from?
The one who was captured was most likely the target of the mission.
His trial task was to protect, not to find someone.
So it was impossible for the Saintess to be hiding in some remote cave sleeping.
Otherwise, the mission name would be "hide and seek" instead of "rescue the lament of the fallen holy ones!"
As a Rank Three holy practitioner, he had to face a large group of Rank Two, Rank Three, and even Rank Four monsters in the small town, possibly including elites and bosses.
He also had to protect the Saintess from being killed.
This difficulty truly lived up to the name "Abyss."
"Now the problem is, as a virtual character, I am a holy practitioner."
"In an Abyss town, I stand out like a sore thumb, making it impossible to successfully find and rescue the target."
"If I were an Abyss practitioner, there might be a chance."
"Wait, Abyss practitioner..."
Chen Yu suddenly remembered the name of the trial mission.
"Rescue the lament of the fallen holy ones!"
