As archbishops of the Fortan religion, their strength was far stronger than Charles had imagined, especially when they deliberately launched a sneak attack.
As an unpleasant sound like thick phlegm gushed out of the mouth of an archbishop, a disgusting stench began to spread from Charles' body, and both his skin and clothes began to rot gradually. Not only that, everything about his body was weakened.
The pure black sea water quickly rose up and wrapped around Charles who was falling rapidly. The black water waved something like black seaweed, as if it wanted to swallow Charles completely.
With these things and the pure gold weapons stabbing at him from all directions, Charles was almost in a deadly situation.
Without any time to think, Charles' mind quickly focused and he directly activated the ability of his crystal heart, quickly blocking out all the whispers in his head.
No matter where this whispering sound comes from, since it comes from a god, his crystal heart can come in handy.
Then he activated the Flash Relic again and instantly left the opponent's encirclement. Although the teleportation was successful this time, it did not allow him to completely get rid of those octopus monsters.
The other two archbishops who were close to his body were also pierced through because they were too close. The archbishop in front of him raised a golden short staff and stabbed it towards Charles' chest with all his strength, but Charles held it tightly with his metal palm.
The sharp weapon stuck on his neck had already been stuck on the bone as the force continued to increase. The man behind him seemed to want to cut off Charles' cervical vertebrae.
Not only the two of them, but other archbishops were also approaching here at a very fast speed. Charles' situation in the air was still not much better than before, and the encirclement was about to close again.
With a "splash", Charles fell into the freezing cold sea.
Amid the rolling bubbles, the two archbishops who were struggling with Charles showed a strange smile on their faces. Underwater was their home ground.
However, when they saw the white light of welding coming from Charles' body, the smiles on their faces froze. Water can conduct electricity.
The entire black sea was illuminated by the dazzling light. As Charles released all the strength in his body, the sea water was even boiled by the electricity.
When the boiling sea level subsided, the twelve archbishops suspended in the sea water found that Charles had disappeared from under their noses again.
When Charles knew that the electric arc could not kill them, he immediately used it as a smoke bomb. Since the other party was ambushing, there was no need for him to fight them.
At this time, Charles had already used the abilities of teleportation and invisibility to climb into the huge mechanical castle, this long-dead mechanical city.
Charles crawled forward with difficulty in the sticky dirt and rusty pipes with a pungent smell. The severe pain in his stomach made him cover his stomach with his hands.
Looking around for a way out, Charles knew that simply running away would not solve the problem. With the strength of the archbishops, they would soon discover him.
Suddenly, a huge two-meter-wide gear in the distance caught his attention. It was a good drawing board, enough for him to draw a human-shaped magic circle to stimulate the power of Itik in his body.
The power in his body is very powerful, enough to solve the problems outside, but the conditions for activating it are a bit too harsh. It is completely useless when someone attacks him by surprise. But as long as he gives himself a little time, the situation can be reversed.
He lowered his head subconsciously, and a chain saw covered with copper rust stabbed out from behind him and nailed his head to the wide gear.
Charles instantly exerted force with his right foot and kicked behind him. With a dull sound, the enemy behind him was kicked away.
He quickly turned his head and saw that the person attacking him was a human with his face covered with gears. Judging from the sound just now, the body under the clothes of this thing was obviously made of metal.
Charles had seen this kind of thing before. It was Swan's personal guard, a human covered in metal prosthetic limbs. This time, it followed its governor and crawled out of the sea.
Before it could attack again, Charles took the initiative and rushed towards it. He had to get rid of this thing immediately, otherwise the sound would only attract other things.
The mechanical guard was extremely agile and raised the sharp blade in his hand and stabbed towards Charles with all his might.
Charles raised his prosthetic limb, and the hole in the palm of his palm used to store things opened, directly blocking the opponent's weapon.
When he restrained the opponent's attack, Charles had an idea and transparent tentacles wrapped around him from all directions and submerged him directly. With the sound of metal creaking, the body of the guard was about to be torn into pieces.
Just as the mechanical metal body in front of him was about to fall apart, Charles stopped the tentacles.
The tentacles on the opponent's chest were withdrawn. Charles walked up to him, inserted his hands into the opponent's chest and pried it open with force. A slightly trembling iron-gray heart appeared in front of him.
Although it looks a bit like a heart, the dense rivets on it and the fire in the center indicate that it is more like an oil stove.
"Maybe this thing can solve my heart problem, but this is not the issue to consider now. I am not out of danger yet." Charles looked around, quickly tore off the heart and stuffed it into his arms, then walked to the original gear and continued drawing.
The humanoid magic circle took shape quickly, but when only a few strokes were left, the entire gear began to crack and cold sea water poured in from the outside.
When Charles fell into the cold sea again, the archbishops appeared again and surrounded Charles. They stood there indifferently, watching Charles recite the consonantless spell in a stiff voice.
Charles in the sea ignored it. When a clear female voice appeared on the battlefield, a smile appeared on his face.
His foreign reinforcements had arrived. In fact, there was no need for him to get rid of these guys. He just had to wait for Shanshan from a distance to come back.
"What do you want to do with my father?" It was Shanshan's voice. She was wearing a white dress and seemed to be glowing in the water. Her green fluorescent cross pupils looked calmly at the monsters in front of her.
"I'm asking you a question!" After Shanshan said that, her body suddenly swelled up, and a huge tentacle monster floated in the water. A powerful aura instantly enveloped everyone's body.
