Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Chapter 126: God of Evil’s High Priest! Might of the Mask!

Hiss!

Amidst the sharp cries, a Stage Four Spiderhuman’s mouth opened like flower petals and spurted out a blob of green liquid, which flew toward Link and Yuna.

A foul wind came!

But before the liquid touched the corners of Link’s clothes, a ball of brilliant holy light bloomed at the area.

Like a big sun exploding at the place, golden holy flames swept across this slightly blocked-up space!

The sticky green liquid and sea of Spiderhumans were burnt into ashes!

The monsters’ agonizing cries sounded without end.

A considerable number of monsters were in the basement, but before Link and Yuna’s powerful combat ability, they were completely unable to cause trouble.

Moreover, Link also astutely discovered some peculiarities during the battle.

The majority of the low-level Spiderhumans would madly attack Yuna. But when it came to him, they appeared to be quite cowardly, or rather, fearful.

Is it because the [Mask of the Faceless]’s status is too high that it made these Spiderhumans fearful?

This thought flashed through Link’s heart. He then recalled Yuna into the void and faced the numerous Spiderhumans alone.

The Spiderhumans—who were originally insane and restless—instantly calmed down.

Some low-level Spiderhumans, who’d just hatched, even crouched down before Link, trembling! It was just like how ants could only tremble and play up to the dragons when set against them!

Even the Stage Three Spiderhumans stopped their movements. They seemed to be afraid, frightened by the aura that Link radiated.

Only the exceedingly few Stage Four Spiderhumans expressed hostility toward the invader, Link. But they barely released some cries, seemingly very terrified too.

After testing the mask’s effects for a while, the corners of Link’s mouth rose slightly. It seems that the [Mask of the Faceless] is indeed an extraordinarily powerful piece of equipment.

He let Yuna out once more and quickly cleaned up the Spiderhumans on this floor.

Link could sense that there were even more frightening existences on the next floor.

After cleaning up the aberrated monsters on this floor, Link split open the flesh wall beneath his feet without hesitation and entered the basement’s second level.

A massive altar—formed using the bones and distorted limbs of human beings—instantly came into sight.

Meanwhile, the faintly discernible murmurs—which had been echoing within the building the entire time—also reached the peak at this moment!

This was the source of the God of Evil’s aura!

It was as if certain existences were chanting and extolling the extremely noble god using a language and tone that humankind couldn’t comprehend.

Brilliance bloomed around Link—it was [Fearless], a passive skill, taking effect.

Link appeared like a god roaming the world, unaffected by the invasion of madness.

Beneath the massive altar were three aberrated Spiderhumans. Presently, they had all stood up, watching Link and Yuna, these two unwelcome guests. They then emitted a warped yet powerful suppression.

These three Spiderhumans had all reached Stage Five! They were top powerhouses that had surpassed humanity; they were like the worst nightmares to most humans at the current stage!

Black needle-like long hair covered them entirely, and their body surfaces gleamed with a metal-like luster.

Faint green glows flickered as six pairs of spider eyes blinked—their distorted faces made one shudder with terror!

A notification also entered Link’s mind at this moment.

[Spiderhuman High Priest]

Race: Lower Servant

Level: Stage 5, Level 4

Introduction: Servant of the Spider God, Atlas Nakya. They are transformed from a fanatic follower, extolling His greatness all day long. They—who have received the Spider God’s favor—are ruthless and cold-blooded. They will cause mental pollution to the feeble-minded, inducing madness and aberration.

...

Link scrutinized the aberrated monsters before him, his eyes slightly narrowed.

These three Stage Five aberrated monsters were enough to destroy the No Retreat Army completely!

Fortunately—for some unknown reason—these three Spiderhuman High Priests had been keeping guard by this altar the whole time. Otherwise, the No Retreat Army wouldn’t have been able to last till his rescue at all.

To destroy the altar, Link clearly needed to annihilate these three aberrated monsters first.

Presently, the three Spiderhuman High Priests did not launch an attack against Link immediately.

They looked at Link’s face, slight surprise revealing in their eyes!

Hoarse, piercing voices then sounded.

“This... This is the aura of a god. Why is there a god’s aura on you?”

So much so that, due to gazing at the [Mask of the Faceless] on Link’s face for a long period of time, the two phantom-green eyes of a Spiderhuman High Priest directly burst. Green liquid also splattered!

Aberrated monsters all possessed powerful self-healing abilities and high vitality.

But this Spiderhuman High Priest’s eyeballs—which had popped—did not regrow. Instead, they became two spiral openings.

These openings were very similar to the black whirlpools drawn on the [Mask of the Faceless]. In addition, the spiral openings seemed to be constantly ripping up the Spiderhuman High Priest’s flesh and blood.

Piteous cries resounded in the second level of the basement.

This was [Counter Pollution]!

Even Link was slightly surprised. The mask on his face was actually able to counter-pollute and affect the monster before him.

This not only showed that the mask had a high status, but it also indicated the [Mask of the Faceless]’s source. That indescribable existence... His position was probably even higher than that of the Spider God!

The mask’s background should be extremely frightening.

The two other Spiderhuman High Priests forced themselves to retract their gaze; they did not dare to look above Link’s neck again.

The spider statue on the altar was also trembling lightly. It had seemingly sensed the threat; the aura emanating from the statue became increasingly twisted and mad...

“No matter which god’s envoy you are, those who intrude into the altar without permission must die!”

The three Spiderhuman High Priests very quickly recovered to their senses from the initial surprise. They let out hoarse cries and launched attacks at Link.

One Spiderhuman High Priest opened its large, bloody mouth and spurted out a large mass of green energy.

The green energy turned into a massive net in mid-air, enveloping Link and Yuna inside it.

The massive net radiated a strange aura. It felt as if one would fall into an endless illusion once they came into contact with it.

Link was on-guard in his heart, and the [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly launched!

The [King’s Sword] in his hand released a golden glow, and streaks of sword energy burst forth—tempestuous, swift, and fierce!

A piercing sword intent instantly filled the entire basement’s second level. It felt like a sword immortal had arrived, and the temperature dropped sharply!

The massive net was torn apart by the sword energy that danced wildly!

At the side, Yuna also swung her staff immediately. A ball of holy light energy instantly slammed toward the three Spiderhuman High Priests like a meteor!

[Holy Light Purification]!

Boom!

Amidst the roar, a Spiderhuman High Priest forcefully endured Yuna’s attack. As a result, holy flames burned his multiple brawny, long legs.

But without the slightest hesitation, this Spiderhuman High Priest actually tore these few limbs off directly!

Flesh and blood at the torn-off limb areas wriggled. New limbs grew out very quickly and came pouncing toward Link.

The frightening spider legs were covered in barbs, and the ends were extremely sharp. They tore through the air, whistling as winds rose!

Once penetrated, the barbs would be nailed to the prey’s insides, causing secondary damage in the process of dragging!

With such a quick and ferocious attack, even a Stage Four powerhouse would be killed on the spot!
