Chapter Seventy-One: Devouring
"Great God of Light, I have always followed your decrees, fulfilled my duties, and guarded the Holy Land, and recently there have been more and more people who have been fighting the idea of the Holy Land, and I have punished these ignorant and despicable people for you, but...... But to this day, I don't know what kind of holy relics I am protecting. ”
The old servant's expression struggled, and frustration and greed appeared on his face.
"I have not been taught by you, and I am on the verge of losing my way in this dark and damp dungeon...... This box was handed over to the Pope by you, and it was left by you...... So, maybe I'm ......"
The old servant muttered to himself, and he went from firmness to wavering, from struggle to admiration, and so on.
Little by little, he stretched out his fingers, as if he wanted to touch the box as well. When the old servant's fingers were only a little distance away from the box, his eyes suddenly changed, and he let out a futile roar.
Facing the devil in his heart, the old servant gasped and shouted, "No! Absolutely not! Darn! You have shaken your faith and perseverance! You weak and incompetent, are you still the attendant of the God of Light! Cowardly thing! ”
"All you need is a few words, Almighty God of Light!"
As he spoke, the old servant roared, and a sword of holy light appeared in his right hand, decisively slashing his wrist! His palms were stained by Qi Gen! The old servant threw his head back and screamed in pain, his wings opening and closing.
The divine origin in his body immediately healed his palm, and the old servant suppressed his holy power, allowing his blood to drip.
"This is my punishment for myself! Punishment for wavering in faith! You have to be firm in your faith......"
Many years ago, when the Archangel's soul was gone, he regained control of his body. At the same time, he also obtained the origin of God, and he was overjoyed to have the power of an archangel! Subsequently, he was appointed by the Pope. It was an oracle from the God of Light to guard a holy place!
The old servant had been guarding the Holy Land for two hundred years, and he had never wavered.
But as time passed, his divine origin was consumed more and more, because the divine origin was fixed and would not grow. His faith was also rapidly degrading, and the old servant's will was becoming weaker and weaker, and more and more unable to be tempted.
The old servant often entered the holy place and prayed to the chest in the gold coins, and he confided in the god of light, repenting, and he wished to hear the guidance of the god of light. But every time he set his eyes on the box, he had a longing: open it!
The chest is a sacred relic of the God of Light! The old servant didn't dare to touch it, and even a glance at it was disrespectful to the God of Light. Greed is an unpardonable sin!
Every time he prayed, he heard another voice from within, calling out to him, to open that box and see what it was. It was like the temptation of the devil, and this desire was born in his heart, and the old servant felt that there was something in the box that was calling him!
This call is getting stronger and stronger! It's so strong that it makes the old servant afraid!
Because he was afraid that he would not be able to resist, the old servant rarely entered the holy place to repent. Maybe one day, he can't restrain his impulse and does something blasphemous against the God of Light!
The old servant felt himself. His soul is no longer pure, his faith is no longer rock-solid, he is polluted by humble and filthy things.
"Clean up the Holy Land, and leave immediately!"
This was the old servant's thought at this time. He decided to burn the body of that hateful magician. Blame the self-inflicted heresy! As for the other one, it is so weak that he can't have the idea of killing, and it's not bad to keep it and send it to be lonely, and when he gets tired of it, he will deal with it.
The old servant turned around and walked towards the nailed corpse of J.K. of hearts.
"It is already your honor to be buried here as a sacrifice to the God of Light."
"Hahaha!"
A sharp and rampant voice sounded behind the old servant, and the old servant quickly turned around, because he knew that this voice came from that nasty magician!
"Old fellow, you haven't seen magic properly, have you? It's a classic scene! Hee-hee-hee-hee......"
J.K., the heart that was originally nailed to death by the holy spear, actually appeared intact on the back of the box! He was staring at himself mockingly.
"Mr. Heart!"
Xia Yi exclaimed in surprise, Jack of Hearts is not dead, it is good news for her, she always feels that Jack of Hearts is cunning, how can he die so easily!
"Damn it!"
The old servant who found that he had been deceived turned to look at the "corpse" of J.K of hearts, and found that J.K. of hearts, which was nailed by the holy spear, exploded with a bang and disappeared! There is only one card left on the wall, and it is the appearance of J.K of hearts!
The "Double" card can only be used once, and this card burns out with fire.
From the very beginning, J.K of hearts used a precious "stand-in" card, and he was able to escape through this card, not because he was still thinking about Shai, but because the chest always kept him from letting go.
The old servant's silent words made Hearts Jack discover that in fact, the old servant also had the idea of opening the box, and he was very afraid of this box!
"Get out of here immediately!" The old servant shouted angrily.
"As you wish." J.K of hearts grinned, "But before I can do that, I need to see what treasures are hidden in the chest!" ”
After saying that, J.K of hearts has already broken the lid of the box! A huge burst of light erupted from the chest! If the heart J.K hadn't been fast enough, his eyes would definitely have been blinded by the bright light! Even if he closes his eyes, he can still see a snow-white patch!
The old servant was so angry with the desecrated red heart that he coveted the box for a long time, and he didn't react for a while, and his eyes were burned in an instant, and a mixture of tears and blood flowed!
Shay doesn't have eyes, but her soul feels like a needle has been pricked!
At the same time, she heard voices, thousands of voices! It wasn't loud, but it was so complicated that she could hear countless voices coming from inside the box, and she couldn't hear what those words were saying!
Intuitively, those voices should be praying?!
Shocked by the chaotic sound, Chailly's mood is affected!
The prayer is mixed with countless expectations, greed, blessings, madness, despair...... These all affected Xia Yi, at that moment, Xia Yi seemed to have passed several lifetimes, and the feeling of putting herself in her shoes, the joys and sorrows of the world drowned her like a flood!
Cover your ears reflexively, so that you don't lose your mind! Those complex voices still echo in Chail's ears!
Xia Yi is a dark creature, and the reason why she is not immediately annihilated by this strong light is because this light is not aimed at her, but condensed into a hand!
It's a hand, a huge claw!
Before the old servant had time to make any movements, he grabbed the old servant and pulled it back!
"Ahhhh
The old servant let out a roar of pain, which penetrated Xia Yi's soul, and she felt the pain of her soul from the roar! She saw that the old servant's body was not grasped by a giant hand, but the soul in his body and the origin of God!
Like the Soul Eaters in the Forsaken Lands, when they suck souls, they tear them out of their bodies!
In the blink of an eye, the old servant's soul was grabbed by a giant hand, and there was a mass of divine origin!
The old servant who stood there was like being scorched, his body began to dry up, his flesh and blood were obscene, and in an instant, he was only left with a pair of dry bones! Ordinary dry bones that have lost their brilliance!
"Smack......
The skeleton was scattered to ashes, and Xia Yi saw a bright thing fall in front of him, it was the ring on the old servant's finger! But Xia Yi didn't have time to pick up the ring at this time, because her bare hands were grabbing her!
The light prison made by the old servant is as fragile as a thin layer of ice in front of the light claw!
Xia Yi covered the necklace on her chest, it was the skeleton necklace that the Zombie King had given her! A hint of coldness lingered on her fingers!
Two golden skeletons appear out of thin air! Judging from the soul fire, Xia Yi's soul fire is a texture weaker than them!
As soon as the golden skeleton appeared, it was ushered in a big hand, they already had a good mind, and they felt an unprecedented threat from the big hand! But it's too late for them to escape!
The bare hand grabbed the soul fire of the golden skull, but because it was a dark energy with completely different attributes, the bare hand seemed to have caught a hot potato, and immediately threw it away and retracted back into the box!
Everything was in the blink of an eye, and the bare hands poured out like a torrent, and then
That paw of light came so fast! Hearts J.K only had time to do a move to close his eyes! He also knew very well about the whole process, that is, the old servant was devoured!
Yes, that's an amount of devouring power countless times more powerful than the undead!
Xia Yi went on a trip at a life-or-death juncture, and he was still in shock! When the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of gold coins rolling, she exclaimed in panic, "Ahhhhh Yes!! …… Well? Finished? ”
J.K of hearts was also taken aback by the paws, and he was sitting in the pile of gold coins.
"Haha
Monster Jack is still shouting happily, and in his opinion, revealing a secret is the most exciting thing in the world!
Xia Yi, who came back to his senses, suddenly remembered that ring! She pretended to pat the dust off her body, and quietly hid the ring in her sleeve, sighing regretfully.
"The two golden skeletons are also scrapped......"
Poor golden skeletons, powerful creatures in the Forsaken Lands, were sealed in necklaces and disappeared in an instant.
After walking in the palm of the light claw, the soul fire of the golden skeleton could not withstand such a huge holy power, and it had already dissipated, and the golden skeleton fell in the gold coin, which was very appropriate, and the surroundings were full of gold.
J.K of Hearts doesn't pursue where Chailly's golden skull came from, in fact, from the very beginning, he knows the lie of the "mage's apprentice" because he examines the unconscious Vangot, who is stunned by a huge force in the back of the head, not a spell.
Magicians and gamblers, the most important thing is to respect other people's secrets......
