Chapter 33: Powerful Commandment Priest

The Skeleton Army strode towards Thomas’ camp.

On the Arrow Tower, Arya bit her lip and drew her bow like a full moon.

Although she knew that her strength might not be able to defeat the Skeleton Soldiers who were blessed by dozens of halos, she still picked up her bow and arrow without hesitation.

She had already made up her mind in her heart. Even if she had to die, she would still beat those Skeleton Soldiers until they were in pain. She would let them know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

“I found it!” Thomas’ eyes lit up. He finally found a building that was suitable for the current situation.

[Temple of Life: Level 2 building. It can generate Priests. Priests have healing and dispelling abilities. They can remove all kinds of buffs or abnormal statuses.]

“That’s it!” Thomas wanted the Priest’s dispelling ability.

The reason why those Skeleton Soldiers were so powerful was entirely due to the various buffs.

Now, if those buffs could be dispelled, then those Skeleton Soldiers would reveal their true forms. When that time came, wouldn’t it be up to Thomas to decide whether they were round or flat?

No matter how many there were, it wouldn’t be enough to justify it.

“Let’s build this.”

Because the Temple of Life was a level 2 building from the start, even if Thomas had the buff to reduce the building materials by half, he still needed a total of six level 1 magic cores.

Thomas placed the six level 1 magic cores on the ground and shouted loudly, “Build the Temple of Life!”

As Thomas spoke, the magic array lit up, and a small temple appeared from the magic array.

[Level 2 building, Temple of Life, found. Triggered Super Enhancement System. Increasing…]

[Level 2 Temple of Life increased to Level 5 Temple of Life.]

[Level 5 Temple of Life: Able to produce a Commandment Priest with strong healing, strong dispelling, providing buffs on one’s own side, and mastering a few divine spells.]

After a flash of white light, an exquisite and beautiful small temple appeared in the camp. A burly man wearing plate armor and holding a giant tower shield and a golden scepter walked out of the temple.

After the burly man saw Thomas, he came before Thomas and knelt down on one knee. “Commandment Priest Arnold greets Sir Thomas.”

The corners of Thomas’s mouth twitched. He felt that this Commandment Priest’s style was different from that of an ordinary priest.

Ordinary priests were all white-bearded old men, dressed in long robes and holding scriptures.

However, the moment this Commandment Priest appeared, if he wasn’t introduced, he would have been mistaken for a Heavy-Armored Soldier.

However, it was true that it was useful. An innate level 5 existence, two levels higher than the Ancient War Tree Gertrude, should be very powerful, right?

Thomas pointed outside the city and said, “Currently, there are many dark creatures attacking my camp outside the city. They have many halos on their bodies. My subordinates are unable to deal any effective damage to them. Please dispel those halos.”

“Following your will! It is my mission to destroy every dark creature.”

The Commandment Priest Arnold stood up and strode towards the top of the city wall.

At this moment, the Archers on the city wall were under Arya’s lead, attacking the Skeleton Soldiers.

However, those Skeleton Soldiers had dozens of halos on their bodies. Their strength had increased by more than a few times. They were almost on par with level 3 dark creatures. When Arya’s arrows hit them, even their shields could not be penetrated.

The Tower of Fire and the Tower of Lightning also began to attack.

However, the halos on the Skeleton Soldiers contained halos that resisted fire and lightning.

This greatly reduced the attack power of the Tower of Fire and the Tower of Lightning.

Although the Tower of Fire and the Tower of Lightning were level 3, the damage they dealt to the Skeleton Soldiers was extremely limited.

After attacking for half a day, they only caused a single digit number of casualties. They could only watch as the Skeleton Soldiers advanced step by step. They had already crossed the 100-meter middle line.

When they saw Thomas arrive at the city wall… Arya said anxiously, “Sir Thomas, we can’t deal any effective damage to the Skeleton Soldiers. We can’t withstand such an attack. We’ll drag it out here. You should leave quickly. As long as you’re still alive, the camp will be rebuilt one day.”

Seeing Arya’s anxious look, Thomas smiled and shook his head.

“Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of coward who would give up the camp and run away at the slightest difficulty. It’s just a buff on them. It’s nothing much. I’ll just dispel it.”

Thomas turned to Arnold beside him. “Arnold, do it.”

“Yes!”

Arnold raised the golden scepter in his hand. “In the name of the Goddess of Life, dispel the evil power!”

Following Arnold’s voice, the ruby on the tip of his scepter lit up. A white light shot out from the ruby and shone on the bodies of the Skeleton Soldiers.

The halo on the Skeleton Soldiers’ body was instantly dispelled. Their strength was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, they returned to their original level 1 state, and were even weaker than before.

Coincidentally, a fireball hit a Skeleton Soldier.

When the halos were on the body, even if the fireball hit the Skeleton Soldier directly, it would at most cause heavy injuries to the Skeleton Soldier. It would not be able to kill it in one go.

However, now, the halos on the Skeleton Soldier were dispelled.

Everything was different.

The fireball hit the Skeleton Soldier.

The Skeleton Soldier was directly melted by the high temperature.

It turned into ashes on the ground.

Boom!

The fireball exploded.

The shattered fireball shot out in all directions.

Any Skeleton Soldier that was touched by the spark was severely burned.

The damage instantly increased by several times.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck a Skeleton Knight.

Originally, when the halo was on the body, this bolt of lightning could only cause a crack on the Skeleton Knight’s armor.

The halo was dispelled, and the Skeleton Knight was directly smashed into ashes by the powerful lightning.

“Well done!”

Thomas, who was on the city wall, waved his fist excitedly.

He turned his head and ordered, “Arya, lead the archers to attack and kill them all.”

“Yes! Sir Thomas.” Arya’s eyes also regained their luster.

She saw the hope of victory.

She puffed out her chest and drew the bow in her hand. “Everyone, listen to my command. 100 meters! Fire! Fire!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of arrows shot out, directly shredding a row of Skeleton Soldiers into pieces.

Thomas and the others cheered, but the people in the skeleton carriage frowned.

Bang!

The wine cup made of skulls was smashed to the ground.

A skeleton whose body was as black as ink roared angrily, “Anthony, tell me why! Didn’t you say that with the fusion pearl, all the halos would fuse together and there would be no rejection? Didn’t you say that when all the halos fuse together, my army would be invincible? But how do you explain this scene? My soldiers are being slaughtered like sheep.”
