Facing the oncoming black mist and the looming undead hidden in the black mist, Nok did not panic.
I saw him calmly touching his chest with his right hand and calmly chanting:
"Lord Almighty,
May everyone hallow your name.
May your kingdom come,
May your will be done on earth,
It's like walking in heaven.
Your followers pray for your protection,
Drive out evil! "
boom!
A bright light burst out from Nok's body, instantly covering the black mist and undead that rushed towards him.
"Bah!"
"Zizzi!"
The undead in the black fog let out a scream, and together with the black fog, they were evaporated by the light like boiling water.
Even some dead tree spirits who were close by were turned into fly ash under the rays of light.
The tree king said in horror: "Damn it! Aren't you exhausted of your magic power? Why can you still use spells!"
The tree king covered his eyes with his arms to block the dazzling light.
But the black mist on its body continued to roll under the light, making a "sizzling" sound.
Soon, most of its thick black mist was evaporated, leaving only a thin layer.
The undead in the black mist suffered heavy losses, and there were not many left.
The few remaining ones are already hiding in the shadows behind the tree king.
Fortunately, the tree king has rough skin and thick flesh. When the light shines on the tree king, it only ignites a little bit of white smoke and does not cause any actual harm to the tree king.
"Okay, okay! I actually underestimate you!"
The tree king roared angrily and rushed towards Nok.
"Boom!"
The movements of the Tree King were like thousands of horses galloping, and their rampaging posture had the potential to crush Nok.
Nok remained unmoved and continued to recite the spell calmly:
“The Lord exhorts the people,
Facing fear,
When moving forward fearlessly,
Fear recedes.
Facing death,
When you give it a try,
Live towards death,
Death holds back.
The Lord watches over His believers in the Kingdom of God and gives them help.
Holy protection! "
As Nok recited, a dazzling light flew out from Nok's heart, exploded above Nok's head, and turned into an invisible light shield, wrapping Nok's entire body in it.
"Death to this king!"
The tree king swung a tree root that was thicker than Nok's body and hit the light shield hard.
boom!
Nok's whole body was whipped into the sky, rolling in the air and flying high into the sky quickly.
Nok was a little dazed, but he was uninjured.
Under the protection of "divine protection", he was safe for the time being.
But unable to use force in the air, Nok could only let himself roll in the air.
During the tumbling process, Nok discovered a small crack on the photomask.
"Damn! You obviously have no magic power! Why can you still cast spells!"
The tree king glared angrily at Nok who was knocked into the sky and the white light cover on his body.
"I want to see how many times your broken shell can withstand my attacks!"
The Tree King activated a dozen huge root systems and launched a pursuit towards Nok in the air.
"Uh-huh!"
A root system of the Tree King caught up with the rolling Nok, and tightly bound the light shield surrounding Nok.
Then, more than a dozen roots turned into whips and awls and continuously attacked the light mask.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
A series of attacks caused more and more cracks on the mask to become bigger and bigger.
Nok, who was inside the light barrier, was shaken by the attack and his internal organs were displaced. He was dizzy and his ears were ringing.
Nok did not expect that the Withered Tree King, who seemed to be only ten meters tall, could actually extend his roots dozens of meters into the air and catch himself.
Without any precautions, he was naturally tortured.
Bang!
Wow!
Finally, the endurance of "Holy Protection" reached its limit, and it was crushed by the tree king with its roots.
"Hahaha, arrogant human being, let's see where you run this time!"
The tree king lifted up a sharp tree root, aimed it at Nok's dislocated left hand, and stabbed it hard.
"uh-huh!"
Nok gritted his teeth and groaned, but did not cry out because of the pain.
He understood that the Withered Tree King was planning to torture himself.
The more you surrender, the happier the other party will be.
The severe pain did not frighten Nok, but instead aroused his resistance.
Although his divine power is exhausted, he can still use divine magic, but the price is a bit expensive.
In the historical records of the Holy Church, it is recorded that believers who were not professionals also inspired descriptions of divine magic.
There are even several such cases.
Nock once studied that these recorded believers were all firm believers.
Therefore, Nok guessed that as long as the inner faith is devout enough, even if he does not have divine power, he can borrow his power from the Holy Lord through communication and activate divine magic!
However, this approach comes at the expense of lifespan.
Among the believers in the records, only one was promoted to a professional and lived to the age of eighty with the help of a professional.
Several others died young because they borrowed magic too many times, and none of them lived past the age of thirty.
Nok is not afraid of death, but he is.
He has the responsibility to take care of the six younger brothers and sisters in the monastery, and he cannot die here!
Even if he sacrifices his life, he will defeat the heretic in front of him and fight his way out!
Nok's will to survive is strong, but his situation is very worrying.
"puff!"
The tree king used another tree root to pierce Nok's right arm, then picked up Nok's left and right hands, straightened Nok's left and right, and hung him in the air.
The tree king looked at the bloody Nok and tasted the blood flowing on the roots of the tree. He felt very wonderful.
The tree king laughed wildly: "Fufufufufufufu!"
"Human, weren't you quite arrogant just now? Where is your glory! Where is your judgment! Where is your god!"
Nok's blurry eyes widened, looking at the arrogant face of the Withered Tree King, and he slowly said: "A moment of arrogance does not represent your victory. Heretic, my Lord's glory cannot be tarnished.
Since you want to be judged by my lord so much, then I will replace my lord and give you the most severe judgment! "
Nok raised his head sharply, desperately burning his remaining lifespan.
"The Holy Lord sitting in the sky,
Hear the call of your faithful servants.
In order to spread the glory of the Lord throughout the earth,
I don't care about this body,
At the cost of this broken body,
In exchange for your meager strength,
Judge the heretics before your eyes.
Please give me strength!
Amen! "
boom!
Space vibrates.
An indescribable aura descended, instantly suppressing the space.
The Withered Tree King was suppressed by this aura, and half of his body was pressed into the soil.
The suppressed Withered Tree King no longer had the arrogance he had before, and shivered as much as possible.
The indescribable aura was not for the Withered Tree King. It locked onto the scarred Nok, and a word suddenly rang out in the air.
"Can!"
Bear!
Nok, who was dying, was shaken violently.
A powerful aura surged out of his broken body, and then slowly grew stronger.
In the blink of an eye, Nok's aura reached the level before the Withered Tree King.
Four words came from the sky: "Contract reached!"
Then, the indescribable aura disappeared instantly, and the Withered Tree King was free again.
It murmured in fear: "God is so powerful!"
However, fear is not over before it is over.
Nok in the air waved his hands gently, breaking the tree roots that pierced his arms.
The two blood holes on both arms were bleeding profusely.
Nok's hands were wrapped around a ball of white light, and he crossed his hands and pressed the ball of light on the wounds on his arms.
"cure!"
Buzz——
White light flashed, and the blood hole on Nok's arm stopped bleeding in the blink of an eye.
The wound is even more brimming with granulation and is healing rapidly.
"Heretic, now it's time to judge you!"
Nok frantically activated the magic he had acquired from the gods.
“O Holy and Holy Lord,
Your servants will use the strength you have given them,
I will wipe out all the filth before your eyes!
Come on! God’s judgment! "
Along with Nok's words, a phantom of a cross made of light descended from the sky and landed in front of Nok.
Chains of radiant energy were wrapped around the shadow of the cross.
Following Nok's finger pointing, the energy chain was like a flexible snake, wrapping around the dead tree spirit king emerging from the soil.
"Wow!"
The unsuspecting Withered Tree King was locked by the energy chain, and an irresistible force dragged the Withered Tree King to the cross and entangled it around the cross.
"No! What are you going to do!"
After reacting, the Withered Tree King shouted emotionally.
Nok glanced at it indifferently, raised his hand and pressed it down.
"God's Judgment, activate!"
boom!
Countless white flames suddenly spurted out from the cross, igniting the Withered Tree King.
"No! What kind of flame is this! It hurts me to death!"
"Stop! Stop! I surrender! Spare my life!"
Faced with the Withered Tree King's plea for mercy, Nok ignored it.
In fact, he couldn't care less.
When "God's Judgment" is activated, this magic is continuously draining Nok's energy.
Whether it is divine power or vitality, it has become a consumption to maintain this magical technique.
"Ahhhhh!"
Nok, who had never cried out even when he was injured, suddenly burst into a series of painful roars.
Big beads of sweat fell from Nok's body like rain.
"Stop! Stop it! You don't want to risk your life just to judge me!"
The Withered Tree King persuaded anxiously, and it could see that Nok was reluctant to maintain this magical technique.
If he continues, even if he is judged, Nok will be drained of energy by divine magic, and his energy will be exhausted.
Naturally, the Withered Tree King did not dare to bet on whether it would be purified first, or whether Nok, a human, would die first.
"Don't bother, heretic—"
Nok looked up with difficulty at the Withered Tree King in front of him, opened his mouth, and said word by word: "For the glory of the Lord and my glory, I will purify you at all costs!"
"Zi! Zhi! Zhi!"
The cross was filled with flames, and the dead tree king was allowed to struggle wildly on the cross.
The flames spread all over the body of the Withered Tree King, and in desperation, it made an astonishing move.
"Damn human being, even if I go to hell, I will not let you go! Let's die together!"
The body of the dying Withered Tree King suddenly swelled up, and then he chose to self-destruct before Nok had time to react.
"Boom!"
The space was shattered, everything was annihilated, and everything was swallowed up by the explosion.
Including Nok...
