They couldn't see clearly what was happening on the far side of the screen, but they all knew that the sudden truce, the direction in which Atio and Perlman seemed stunned, and the brilliance of the wind and stone slabs that struck their souls were all pointing in one direction. Thing——
Loren takes action!
"It's the great priest Loren! He's here to help us!"
"The legend of the Northern Continent is actually correct. As long as you call his name sincerely, he will definitely come to save you!"
"He is the reincarnation of the Holy Emperor!"
The fire of hope was instantly ignited in the South Bank. The trembling people discussed and speculated excitedly, staring desperately at the only picture, and even shed tears of excitement.
Many evacuated citizens who saw this scene made shocking and exciting calls.
The appearance of the great priest Loren undoubtedly gave these desperate people a shot in the arm on this stormy night in Huadu Parrieux.
At the center of the battlefield in Posen District 10, Etiou was still looking at the distant sky in disbelief.
Surprise, awe, gratitude, and a hint of indescribable confusion.
Although theoretically speaking, Loren was worried about his direct disciple Lan Qi, so he went undercover and came to Huadu Parrieux to take Lan Qi back. This is very reasonable. After all, the commander of the Creation Empire would not have expected Loren to be like this. Dare to bet.
But the problem is, according to Milaya, Loren is a very cautious character, and it is unlikely that he would take the risk at this time and leave the capital of Hutton, which needs his protection, to come to a foreign country.
Despite this, with the addition of the great priest Loren, the battle situation has changed dramatically.
She will be able to keep fighting!
Now Pearlman's attention has been completely attracted by the high priest Loren, and he has started one-on-one surveillance. At this moment, she has the opportunity to subdue the mad Nigel first, and then help the high priest Loren outflank Pearl. Man.
Maybe she doesn't even need to take action, the great priest Loren can take care of Perlman!
Thinking of this, Atio took a deep breath, once again gathered the remaining magic power, and stared at Nigel with eyes as bright as stars.
Facing the crazy Nigel, Atio no longer just defended and evaded, but took the initiative to attack. Ice blue lightnings were like dancing snakes, piercing Nigel's body.
At the same time, sharp ice cones rose from the ground and gathered into a sky waterfall in mid-air, firmly sealing Nigel in it.
The other side.
"Goddess of Destiny, you really know how to joke."
Perlman thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected change at the last moment.
The only trace that can be traced is that the great priest happened to come to Huadu for the platinum-level card maker of the Hutton Kingdom, and happened to come into their plan, completely disrupting it.
At this time, Perlman could no longer care about Atio.
All his attention was focused on the figure in black robe.
"What is your purpose, High Priest Loren? It is known that your appearance will represent a signal that the Creation Empire will most likely launch an attack on the Kingdom of Hutton in advance."
Pearlman's voice was low and dangerous, like the calm before a rainstorm,
"You shouldn't have intervened in this fight, and even if you saw it, you shouldn't have shown up."
"..."
Loren himself, however, was still standing on a distant tall building without saying a word, as if he was quietly waiting for something.
After waiting for a few seconds, he spoke.
"What else is there to say? You don't think I can stand by and watch this disaster, do you?"
His voice penetrated the torrential rain of Poson's Demonic World and lingered around Pearlman.
Whether it is falling rain or falling flowers, the eyes of the great priest are full of compassion.
"I'll give you a chance."
He raised his palm slightly, as if stroking the rain curtain, or holding the moonlight in his hand,
"An opportunity to challenge me."
At the same time, he was also looking at Perlman.
In Lan Qi's heart, Talia had nothing to say.
This guy from Biyang really dares to act.
And in her impression, Loren wasn't so pretentious.
But Lan Qi is very familiar with Loren, and looks very much like Loren in both temperament and demeanor.
Even the students from Icerite Academy would not be able to tell the difference when they come.
As for the immunity field with the luster of the Gods just now, even Loren may not know it. It comes from the wind attribute epic equipment of the cat boss.
【Dawn Storm】
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Level: Orange Epic]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Level: 8]
[Effect: It can be triggered when wind magic is released. It consumes mana to create an additional absolute immunity field. It can be triggered up to three times every twenty-four hours. 】
[Note: The strong wind at dawn covered up the helpless reason in the dark snowfield, sweeping the faith called light to every witness. 】
It can be triggered by just using any wind magic, and it can be used twice today.
From now on, Loren may have three more lives in the enemy's intelligence.
The rain is still falling hard.
The atmosphere on the battlefield in Posen District 10 became even more tense.
"Perlman."
Loren spoke, and his voice was like the gospel of heaven, penetrating the storm,
"Your deep belief that 'human beings and demons can coexist', after you experienced growth, experienced harvest, and was about to succeed, until you were completely betrayed by humans and lost an irreparable price, I can understand all of this. You are persistent and determined. After being betrayed by your beliefs, you recognized the facts and began to become more extreme. Now you are no longer the same person as before. Hatred has blinded your reason and made you commit irreparable crimes. mistake."
The words also seemed like a trial for Perlman.
Perlman actually laughed when he heard this.
It's like he never thought there would be a human being who understands him so well.
"If I'm not wrong, High Priest Loren, you are also a very determined person. If you were me, how would you choose?"
He asked for advice, but also questioned.
When he looked up at the black-robed figure on the tall building, his eyes were filled with flames of reluctance and anger.
"I think I am not qualified to stand on the shore and tell the drowning creatures in the river what I would do if I encountered this situation."
Loren was indifferent to Perlman's questions, like an eternal beacon, responding to the lost people in the darkness,
"But I can understand you."
When he spoke again, his voice was still like spring breeze.
"Very well, this answer is enough."
These words made Perlman laugh again, but soon he put on the mask of arrogance again, and even a hint of sternness appeared at the corners of his mouth.
The high priest's meaning was very clear.
Understanding is one thing, but fighting is still necessary. They are already enemies determined to fight to the death.
"It seems that if I want to fight against this uninvited guest like you, I have to use something I didn't plan to use today."
Perlman's voice was as deep as the murmur of hell.
He reached into his arms and pulled out a crystal orb as black as midnight.
The surface of the orb is discernible, but it exudes an aura that goes beyond what was previously given to Nigel's [Parroni's Grudge] fragment.
Perlman took a deep breath and slowly pressed the orb to his heart.
In the blink of an eye, the black orb began to melt and turned into a dark, viscous liquid that seeped into Pearlman's flesh and blood. Pearlman's body also began to undergo a horrifying transformation.
The skin of the originally slender and strong limbs began to turn a deathly gray color, with bloody red lines like maggots appearing on the surface, rolling and squirming like magma deep in purgatory.
His eyes turned into bottomless black holes with no bottom.
Even though Pearlman's image has become completely demonic, his temperament still maintains a strange elegance, as if he is not a violent demon.
Rather, he is a hellish gentleman who combines violence and grace.
"Now, we can fight to the death."
Pearlman raised a hand, and the power of thought that turned into pitch black ink condensed between his fingers, spinning and flying in mid-air.
Although using [Parroni's Resentment] requires burning life, and the sanity strengthening time obtained is also limited, it may not be as strong as the great priest Loren, but in the state of sanity, the oppression of his mind has already reached Able to barely fight against the Cardinal's level.
Even if High Priest Loren was pointed at by Pearlman in his new state, he still remained unmoved.
He watched Pearlman's transformation calmly, without a trace of surprise or fear on his face.
"So strong."
Lan Qi pondered,
"But even so, I wonder how long you can hold me back?"
he asked calmly.
"The high priest seems quite confident and is willing to chat with me even at this moment."
Perlman was far away from him.
The noble high priest is unable to use all his strength to harm the innocent people in the Posen Demon Realm at this moment.
He must be at a loss for battle in the city.
As long as Perlman holds back the high priest at this moment, once the south bank of Huadu is controlled, even the high priest will be unable to change anything.
"The fight between you and me will definitely endanger innocent people. Instead of fighting you in this state, it is better to just use small talk instead of using force. When your time passes, I will subdue you."
Lan Qi simply shook his head to express a truce.
"..."
Perlman felt a little inconsistent, and the concentration of dark thoughts slowed down.
