Chapter 2096 On the Run
Seeing the mission hint, the players immediately understood.
Well, that’s something!
The Holy Court’s hometown had been overturned by someone?
No matter what the cause was, this mission was no longer something they could handle.
The entry requirement for the side mission to protect the Eternal Holy City was master-level sacred study!
In fact, the current situation was no longer a problem of whether or not they could complete the mission.
It was a matter of preserving their lives.
They need to quickly find the guards of the Holy Court and escape together!
Fang Heng also saw the game hint, and his face immediately revealed a bit of joy.
As expected, the Eternal Holy City still had other escape routes!
Ordinary Holy Paladins would definitely not be able to withstand the high-intensity pollution of the demonic seed of Jealousy, so there was a high chance that they would choose to retreat!
Under the effect of the Seed of Jealousy’s special pollution domain, all the teleportation channels would also fail!
His chance had come!
Amidst the chaos, Fang Heng quickly found one of the Ecclesiastical Templars who was leading the retreat and followed him out of the Eternal Holy City!
The gate leading to the exit of the Eternal Holy City was urgently opened.
For the first time, Fang Heng saw the situation outside the Eternal Holy City.
At this moment, the entire sky was covered in a thick layer of clouds. The power belonging to the Seed of Jealousy surged and gathered in the clouds. From the outside, the Eternal Holy City was a huge enclosed castle built in the middle of the city. Under the influence of the Seed of Jealousy, the entire outer city, including the Eternal Holy City fortress, was rapidly transforming!
The people living in the city outside the Eternal Holy City fortress were all firm believers of the Holy Court, so they could still maintain stability for a short time.
However, as the pollution rapidly expanded, the people began to be corroded by the power of the pollution!
The Corruption of the Demon!
The believers of the Holy Court were gradually corrupted and turned into monsters. They all gathered towards Fang Heng!
“Follow me! The exit is not far away. The support team is already outside. Let’s evacuate the contaminated area together!”
The Ecclesiastical Templars instructor did not know that the festered creatures that were coming from all directions were only targeting Fang Heng. Seeing this, he did not hesitate and immediately led the team behind him to charge out.
The Ecclesiastical Templars instructor and a few experienced Ecclesiastical Templars guard captains knew very well that they were facing the demonic seed’s pollution.
They couldn’t retreat!
The more they retreated, the more corrupted creatures of the demonic seed emerged from all around! They were increasingly sinking into the quagmire.
As time passed, even their teammates would gradually be affected by the Seed of Jealousy and become puppets of the demonic seed!
Therefore, they could only sprint forward!
They had to rush out in the shortest time possible and escape the range of the pollution as soon as possible to seek a chance of survival!
Seeing that the Ecclesiastical Templars were going all out, the players also realized that the situation was urgent. Their eyes were bloodshot from killing, and they threw the high-level tools that they were reluctant to use in the past forward without any regard for their lives. They also poured high-level potions into their mouths as if they were free.
It was really strange!
The Eternal Holy City had been calm and peaceful just a moment ago. Why did they suddenly start fleeing from it after five minutes?
The players couldn’t figure it out and didn’t have the time to think about it.
Fang Heng followed at the back of the team. Most of the time, he was just fooling around. From time to time, he would throw a few skills forward, secretly praying that his teammates would give him more strength.
Under such circumstances, if he went out and showed himself, other players might discover that something was wrong and it would be troublesome.
In addition, he had just been half-crippled by the Touch of Gluttony. His current state was terrible. His basic attributes were already in the single digits, and his combat power was almost non-existent.
“Soon! The support team is just ahead! I’ll create space for you. You guys rush out!”
Fang Heng immediately looked ahead when he heard the shouts.
The Eternal Holy City was the headquarters of the Holy Court in the advanced game world.
The good news was that after discovering that something was wrong with the Eternal Holy City, a large number of support teams inside and outside the city were immediately formed and came to the rescue within a few minutes.
The rescue team cleared the festered monsters in the outer area of the city and gradually went deeper, trying to rescue the trapped Holy Court team.
In fact, the teams that had escaped from the Eternal Holy City were divided into several groups.
The other festered monsters they encountered along the way were not as many as Fang Heng, and many of them had already escaped.
However, Fang Heng was attacked by the festered creatures the most!
It was a vast expanse.
Even when the reinforcements saw Fang Heng’s team, they were still unable to rush over to help. They were still clearing the festered monsters they encountered along the way.
Both sides could clearly see each other, but they were separated by a group of festering demons in the middle.
“Move out!”
Millet, the Ecclesiastical Templars army officer, shouted and led the Holy Paladins to charge at the festered creatures ahead.
In the blink of an eye, Millerth and more than ten elite guards of the Holy Court plunged deep into the midst of the corrupted creatures, unleashing wide-range area-of-effect skills together!
Dark golden light kept exploding among the festered monsters!
Millet’s plan was simple. He would use a large-scale attack skill to attract the aggro of the surrounding festered creatures, giving the players behind them space to escape.
However, the result shocked them.
Indeed, a small number of festered monsters were attracted to them. But the remaining festered monsters were still swarming towards the players behind them!
The player team panicked.
Oh no!
Without the protection of the Ecclesiastical Templars army officers, their strength had been greatly reduced, and the situation had become precarious.
Fang Heng blended in with the crowd and narrowed his eyes. The situation was not good.
“Everyone, we can only rely on ourselves now. Let’s charge over together! There’s hope if we rush over!” Amid this desperate fight, a player shouted in the crowd, “Go! Charge over!”
Everyone knew that this was their last chance.
Reinforcements were at the rear!
As long as they could meet up with them!
“Go!”
The players shouted and focused their attacks on a single point. Together, they tried their best to break through!
Large groups of festered monsters were gathering in front of them. Everyone only felt that the demons in front of them could not be killed no matter what.
Soon, the team’s momentum was halted.
The players’ mental strength was about to be exhausted, and the cooldowns of each skill had also been completed. They were about to be surrounded and devoured by the demons.
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
What the hell was that?
All of a sudden, the players realized that streaks of light had flashed past them!
Boom!! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!
The Holy Light bombarded the monsters in front of them, causing a large area of explosion!
The explosion created an opening among the festered monsters that were about to gather.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised and turned around to look.
A dark golden Book of Oaths floated in front of Fang Heng.
Streams of light continuously shot out from the Book of Oaths!
