Those monsters were not very easy to kill, at least that was the case for the dark guards.
Lu Hong swung a sword and knocked one over, and the dark guards tried to mimic him, only to break their swords without knocking down the monsters in front of them.
Quite a few dark guards turned to magic for their attack, but those monsters seemed to have a special devouring function for magic power, rendering all magical attacks ineffective and making the monsters that absorbed magic power even more frenzied.
In the short time it took for Lu Hong to challenge the church's main doors, the dark guards had lost over a hundred of their best.
"Do not use spells, attack with close combat only," commanded Questasa, recognizing the monsters' ability to absorb magic, "Mage professions, withdraw! Send in the close combatants!"
Lu Hong stood in front of the church doors, as a blood orb slowly rose above his head.
