"The Mystical Item you are talking about is this half candle?"
Angel looked curiously at the small piece of candle with a strange appearance.
"As long as you hold it and light it, you can enter the depths of my heart and solve my biggest troubles. Of course, that is if you can beat him."
"So how strong is he, or you,?"
Holding the candle, Father Utravsky sat on the bench again.
"I was a warrior," he said with a hint of nostalgia and hatred for the past, "And before I believed in Mother Goddess and came to Loen, I was already the 'Dawn Paladin' of Sequence 6."
Sequence 6, then I use Mystical Item, coupled with advance preparation and familiarity with him, I should have a good chance of winning...
Angel assessed the feasibility of the task and continued to ask:
"Deep down, will this candle weaken him, or weaken me?"
"It seems that you really want to challenge him?" Priest's eyes showed undisguised surprise, "When you hold this 'Mental Terror Candle', it will not hurt you, but its effect on him in the dream will be limited. At most, it will be as if he has just experienced a fierce battle."
"After entering the Dream Invasion realm, you can use all the abilities you could originally use. The same goes for Mystical Item. He can also use dreams to pull you deeper, making you unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, so that you are deceived and even hunted by him. Once this candle is used for more than 5 minutes, you will be completely lost and your spirit will not be able to return to the real body, thus becoming, well, in the words of doctors, a vegetative state."
Dream state... This is indeed more troublesome, but I have had the experience of being pulled into Dream Invasion state by Nightmare many times. In Tingen City, I have a strange resistance to the captain's Nightmare ability. After obtaining Hidden Holy Emblem and coming to Backlund, he was dragged into the Dream Invasion state by the Nighthawks who had come to investigate the disappearance of Feysac people, but he was completely awake. It was obvious that the holy symbol of Arianna was taking effect.
Stroking Hidden Holy Emblem on her wrist, Angel added a touch of confidence.
"Last question, what Beyonder Ability are there in 'Dawn Paladin'?"
Father Utravsky smiled and said, "This is something that needs to be kept secret for any Beyonder, but in order for you to succeed and for me to get a new life, I will tell you."
"Dawn Paladin, as Warrior Pathway's Sequence 6, has a strong body and infinite power. It can fill the surrounding fifty meters with light like the morning sun, drive away evil spirits and break illusions."
"He can also condense a pair of hands Greatsword made of light, called 'Sword of Dawn', which is extremely powerful and also has the effect of Purification. He can cover his body with 'Dawn Armor', blocking most physical attacks without affecting his own actions."
"The most important thing is that he can create the powerful 'Storm of Light' to destroy all living creatures and evil spirits around him."
These Beyonder Ability reminded Angel of Tingen City's Ms. D. The other party obviously Grazing had a "Dawn Paladin", so he could make full-body armor, Greatsword his hands, and even used "Storm of Light" to destroy the entire villa hall.
"Knowing this, are you still willing to accept the commission and take risks?"
Priest leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Angel, and asked slowly. His tone was calm, but the veins on the hand holding "Mental Terror Candle" were bulging, indicating that his heart was not as calm as his tone.
"I think it's okay to give it a try. Please let me prepare for it."
Angel is not a reckless person, but according to Father Utravsky's description, she has a good chance of winning this battle, especially with Hidden Holy Emblem, who can resist the erosion of dreams, which is equivalent to eliminating the opponent's most powerful opponent. The biggest obstacle is that although I only have Sequence 7, but I understand Beyonder Ability of "Dawn Paladin" and prepare in advance, it is not that difficult to defeat Sequence 6.
Walking to Confessional next to the hall, Angel checked the weapons, ammunition and Mystical Item on his body again. After confirming with the pendulum that Priest was not lying, he returned to the hall.
"I'm ready."
she said solemnly.
Father Utravsky stood up from the chair and handed over the wrinkled candle. Angel held it with his left hand and rubbed his fingers with his right hand, rubbing out a small ball of Spirituality fire, slowly approaching the candle core and lighting it.
Nothing seems to have changed in the surroundings. The tall Priest is still standing in front, with the candle beside him burning with a warm flame. The stained glass behind Life Holy Emblem is reflected in colorful colors by the Sun outside the window.
But Hidden Holy Emblem on Angel's right wrist came with a feeling of tranquility, and she knew that she had entered a dream.
The kind face of Father Utravsky in front of him gradually became Distortion under the candlelight, and his eyes seemed to be looking at Angel with an extremely evil gaze.
The next second, his neck was slashed by an invisible sharp blade, and his head was separated from his neck. He rolled to the ground, leaning on the marble floor with blood stains. His headless body fell backwards, motionless, and the blood spurted from his neck dyed a large area of marble floor red.
Angel was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even take action yet. Why did the evil Priest fall down?
Then she realized that this was the result of the battle created by the opponent using his power as the master of the dream to look like the real thing.
If she had not been protected by Hidden Holy Emblem and had not stayed awake at all times, I am afraid that she would have thought that she had successfully killed the opponent in the hard battle and left the dream to find Priest in reality to receive the reward.
And next, the real Priest, who thought his evil side was killed, might be replaced by another one after putting down his psychological defense. According to the Church of the Earth Mother doctors, he would become an out-of-control monster who only knows how to kill.
After thinking about all this, Angel looked at her left hand that originally held "Mental Terror Candle". It was empty. Then, she took out the dagger, took out the revolver in her right hand, and aimed at the headless corpse on the ground.
"I didn't expect that this would have no effect on you. I didn't want to kill you, but it's a pity that you stayed here to die."
The head of Priest on the ground opened its eyes, and its light blue eyes looked at Angel emotionlessly.
The next moment, the light in the church hall seemed to be swaying, Distortion, becoming illusory. The headless Priest corpse in front of Angel disappeared, and another Priest appeared complete, with its head well on its neck.
His face is Distortion, like an evil monster.
"Bang——"
Angel pulled the trigger, and "Storm Convergence" worth 6 pounds, no, 7.5 pounds, shot towards the opponent's broad chest.
With a "ding" sound, the bullet smashed into pieces on the silver-white armor, leaving a trace of blue and spiderweb-like cracks.
Priest was like Ms. D fighting against the Red Gloves team in Tingen. His whole body was instantly covered in exquisite and exaggerated armor. He also grabbed a handful of Greatsword with golden light condensed in his hands. The Greatsword, which was more than 1.5 meters long, was like a one-handed weapon in the hands of this Feysac people, and he struck at Angel head-on like a rainbow.
She was well prepared and stepped out of Frost, reducing the speed of Priest. At the same time, she retreated quickly, continuously pulled the trigger, and continued to shoot accurately at the cracks made by the first shot. Two shots shattered the entire breastplate, and the silver-white fragments fell like an avalanche, turning into light spots in the air, revealing the priest's uniform inside.
Angel did not continue to fire, but summoned two groups of Black Flame, and quickly hit Priest's exposed chest. The latter used Greatsword as a shield to block it. When two groups of Black Flame arrived at the same time, the golden and black colors devoured and consumed each other on the sword. In the end, Greatsword's own light gained the upper hand and drove away Cursed Black Flame.
But taking this opportunity, Angel had changed his angle and fired twice at another breastplate under Priest's left armpit, causing new damage.
She wanted to remove the hard armor from Priest and then deliver a fatal blow.
The evil Priest, whose face was covered inside the helmet of Distortion, also discovered this. He no longer defended in place, but stepped on the condensed Frost on the ground and walked towards her with long strides. The Greatsword in his hand continued to wave as if it was weightless, leaving Angel with no time to change bullets and could only keep dodging.
The tables and chairs in the church hall were smashed into pieces, pieces of marble floor were broken, and even the stone altar under Life Holy Emblem was split into two pieces with a knife.
He had inexhaustible stamina, slashing one and two swords, chasing the figure of Angel and constantly attacking. Although the latter dodged flexibly, and even found opportunities to reload and shoot again and again, he could never find an opportunity to attack the weak point of the armor.
And the previously damaged parts of the silver-white armor began to slowly repair, and new armor pieces gradually formed.
"Mental Terror Candle" How long are the five safe minutes left? Three minutes, or two minutes?
Angel found that procrastinating like this would be absolutely detrimental to him who had limited time, and Priest's conspiracy also surfaced. As long as he delayed for enough time, Angel would not be able to leave with the help of "Mental Terror Candle" and could only become a sacrifice in this dreamland.
No longer hesitating, she threw away the revolver that had run out of bullets, pressed the Magician Pocket Watch on her left wrist, and switched the dagger to her right hand. While the tip of the dagger raised Black Flame, she took the initiative to face the armor Priest holding Greatsword high.
