One of the priests could not hold back his anger when he heard Yudkao's words. He shouted,
"Evil heretic, the Holy Light will never forgive people like you! The flames of hell are waiting for you!"
It was a roar of righteousness, but it also set off a chain reaction of collapses, the termite nest that caused the dam to collapse.
His voice indeed upheld the justice in his heart and the majesty of the Holy Light, but it paused the scriptures he was chanting.
This made the membrane that protected them even more fragile, and a large number of tentacle monsters tore through the membrane's protection.
Seeing this scene, the angry priest realized that he had fallen into a trap, but it was too late.
The personnel in the front row who were responsible for close combat were already in an extremely busy state, which was as dangerous as dancing on the edge of a knife. After the membrane was torn, the sudden increase in the number of tentacle monsters made the front-line defense vulnerable.
Yudekao's previous arrogant words were a half-true and half-false performance. He did hate the Holy Light, but such an exaggerated performance was just to encourage someone to stand up and refute him.
Only in this way can the current deadlock be broken. In fact, Youdekao has no other cards in his hand.
This was only his first battle, but he had already cast four spells, which left his physical strength in a shaky state.
If a clergyman broke through to Yudekao, he would fall to the ground with a slight push.
This was a gamble for Yudkao. Either the clergy could outlast all the tentacle monsters and easily put themselves on the stake, or the tentacle monsters could complete their mission.
Seeing that the balance of victory had tilted towards his side because of the priest's mistake, Youdekao smiled with relief. He had made the right bet. After all, no one is perfect. Everyone has a different personality, and because of different personalities, there will always be impulsive people.
This impulsive priest not only paid the price with his own life, but also the lives of all the clergy in Umleminster Cathedral.
The tentacle monsters successfully defeated the crowd, and their flesh and blood became nutrition for the tentacle monsters.
The scene in the corridor at this moment was like purgatory, with tentacles taking root on the corpses of the people like plants.
The tentacles injected some liquid into the corpse, changing the corpse which still had body temperature.
Just like Pastor Gao Sen, the bodies of the people slowly turned into rats with human faces.
The first one to be successfully converted was Pastor Paul, who had explained the Ten Commandments to believers, and he was the first to sacrifice; but the highly respected Father Mark failed to be converted. A holy flame ignited in his body. Although he died, he did not fall because he was not afraid of death, nor of these monsters and Yudkos.
As the holy flame burned, the other priests who had not felt fear during their lifetime also began to burn. Although their bodies were purified into ashes by the holy flame, their souls were redeemed.
The rest of the unfortunate guys followed in Pastor Gao Sen's footsteps and became one of Yudekao's pets.
This is a domineering spell. As long as the recipient feels a little fear, he will be transformed into the caster's pet - a human-faced rat after being injured. This spell is called the Bite of the Human-Faced Rat.
Yudkao had cast this spell when he scratched the skin on Pastor Gao Sen's calf with his nails, and the breath he blew toward the tentacles on the wall also contained this spell.
Since it is a spell used in combat, it does not require too much chanting like the Blind Eye, but the corresponding casting cost is also much higher.
The price of the blind eye is food and hunger, while the price of the bite of the man-faced rat is blood, and a lot of blood.
This blood cannot be someone else's blood, only one's own blood can be used to cast spells, so Youdekao will feel weak.
This feeling of fatigue comes from the backlash of the spell. The massive blood loss creates a condition of anemia, and the lack of blood in the human body can cause multiple functional incoordination in the body.
First of all, blood is responsible for supplying oxygen to organs. When a person loses a lot of blood, he or she will feel dizzy due to lack of oxygen, and will naturally feel weak due to lack of oxygen.
Secondly, blood symbolizes life in many beliefs or sects. For example, there is a similar record in the Holy Light Sutra, so this overbearing spell can be understood as a spell that overdrafts the life of the caster.
The yellow light released from Yudkao's fingertips at the beginning was the spirit of the polluter. Contaminated tentacles would grow from the hit material. These tentacles had a certain evolutionary ability. If they were just maintained in an ordinary tentacle state, the duration of the spell could be extended. After evolution, their functions would be improved, but the duration of the tentacles' existence would be greatly shortened.
Since this spell is so convenient, why doesn't Youdekao use it more often
This is because the cost of casting this spell is more serious than blood loss. If you lose blood, you only need a blood transfusion or a good rest to recover.
The Spirit of the Polluter requires a whole nail every time it is released.
The process of releasing the spirit of the polluter is extremely fast, but the process is extremely painful.
It was not uprooted in an instant, but was bitten off bit by bit by unknown creatures in the void.
Although it doesn't seem to be bloody, the pain is real.
As the saying goes, when ten fingers ache, the heart aches. Previously, Youdekao had just silently endured the pain and maintained a calm appearance.
Fingernails grow about one centimeter every three months, and if the entire nail is removed, it will take at least six months to nine months to return to its original length.
Yudkao, who was familiar with medical knowledge, naturally knew how difficult the cost of this spell was. Moreover, after losing the protection of the nails, the movement of this hand would become extremely inconvenient, and it would be easily infected with bacteria, and if not handled properly, it might even escalate to the point of amputation.
Furthermore, as a doctor, Yudkao was very careful about his hands. This was also the reason why he did not wash his clothes or carry heavy objects on a daily basis: an excellent doctor must keep his hands stable, otherwise a slight mistake during surgery could cost a life. This was an occupational disease, which was why Yudkao only used the Spirit of the Polluter once.
The twisted black fog, the black fog with strange toxins, costs three hairs. Since this black fog is relatively easy to detect, it is more often used to block the opponent's vision in actual combat. However, the toxins in it are hard to guard against, and it is very suitable for releasing in a confined and narrow space.
The valuable practical experience made Youdekao feel that he still needed more strength and more training.
“I want to become stronger!”
