The stars are dim, and the silver moon is hanging in the west.

The roar of the collapse of the statue of the Holy Cross was no longer visible under the cover of the burning cathedral, and the cracked columns and broken dome left the magnificent Byrne Cathedral as a ruin in a sea of fire.

Under the light of the scattered dust and fire, the gray-eyed boy with a short sword in both hands stood on the periphery of the ruins, his eyes under the tips of his inky blue hair staring at the sea of fire in front of him, reflecting the dazzling golden red in his pupils.

The knights of the Red Blood Keep and the members of the church who had survived the death gathered behind him, looking at the cruel sight in front of him with the same expressions - after the knights had completely eliminated the mob, they immediately withdrew from the church under the leadership of Lusen.

In fact, this was also a very correct decision, and it was at the moment when they left that the sea of fire really began to spread... Looking at the clergy and nuns who screamed, dying or stubbornly refused to leave and finally fell into flames, all those who survived wept and rejoiced in their decision.

After completing the evacuation, the loyal Lusen did not forget to take everyone to a place some distance away from the church according to Loren's order, and asked the knights to guard the surroundings and not allow anyone to approach.

Anyone......

Lu Sien silently clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and the golden-red firelight reflected a reluctant face.

There was no doubt that the voice just now was definitely coming from the direction of the altar, which means that Lord Loren was probably already fighting the enemy, and he, as his guard, was still hiding in this kind of ......

"Hmm... I advise you not to think like that. ”

A playful voice came from behind him.

The gray-eyed young man looked sideways, frowning: "It's you?"

"Strange? I'm here with you. Asrael, who was holding his hands behind his back, looked at Lusen, who had no good impression of him, with an expression of looking stupid, and smiled indifferently:

"I'm just a little bit of a reminder for your loyal service to Loren - don't try to reach a level you've never touched, or you won't be able to do anything but add to the chaos. ”

"You know what, I used to be in the Dragon King City with Lord Loren......"

"A dragon hunter who loses his dragon and becomes a 'zombie' doesn't prove anything. Asriel shook his head with a little regret, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "As for the Apostle of Lymantes and its toy monsters... That level of minions is simply not enough to compare with the enemies that Loren has to face at the moment. ”

"Y-How do you know this......" Lusan was startled, and his eyes widened as he looked at the young man standing in front of him who looked like his own age.

"How do I know? Or what you're really trying to ask is... How much more do I know?" The smile on the corner of Asrael's mouth grew, and his scarlet pupils became more and more playful, and he approached step by step to stare at him tremblingly, and the height seemed to be that of a gray-eyed young man:

"Because you have also seen the Dragon King City, the Apostles of the Evil Gods and the monsters, in fact, the real reason why Loren does not allow you to come close, you know in your heart. ”

"Compared to the gifted Isaac or Ain, your value is far less important than theirs... So the real reason is that your presence can only cause chaos for him. ”

The silent Lusien's expression was gloomy, but the green tendons of his hands clenching the hilt of the sword were exposed.

"I guess you don't want to be just Loren's sidekick and... It's useless, isn't it?" Asriel blinked curiously, his cheek almost touching the gray-eyed boy's face.

"Y-What do you mean?!"

"I mean, if you want to be an important help to Loren one day, or even do some 'heroic act' for him at a critical moment, I can help you. ”

Asriel shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head playfully: "Just see... We're all friends of Loren. ”

The shocked Lusen had not yet fully reacted from the young man's words, and in the next second, a loud explosion suddenly rose from the direction of the cathedral!

"Boom ————————!!!!"

The gray-eyed boy who was standing in place trembled suddenly, and before he could stand firmly, the violent waves of qi had already rushed like a tide, causing the surviving priests and nuns around him to scream, and there was a wail everywhere.

What a terrible power this?!

At the moment of Lusen's shock, he saw Asriel still standing at his side with his hands behind his back, and the violent wave of qi seemed nothing to him, only the messy pale blonde hair and the back hem of the small gown were blown up.

"You, ...... you"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, shouldn't you be in charge of those pious and pitiful ordinary people now?" gently patted the gray-eyed young man's shoulder, and the corners of Asriel's mouth raised elegantly under the messy hair:

"We'll have a lot of time to talk if we get through this catastrophe; Little girl. ”

........................................................................

"One minute! Help me get a minute——!

As the words fell, Loren fell to his knees on one knee, holding his left hand as a "spellcaster" pressed the ground under his feet, and the silent Knight of Oath immediately stood in front of the black-haired wizard and swung his sword at the oncoming Valkyrie Brünnhilde.

The frost-faced "Valkyrie" spread her wings, but the "pitch-black spear" in her hand had already stabbed first.

"Bell ——!!!!!"

A long roar rang out, and the spear stabbed out of the spear struck the center of the Sworn Knight's slashing blade, a crisp sound from his only left arm with an almost terrifying force.

His complexion changed slightly, but the Oath Knight, whose left arm was broken, did not let go of the hilt of his sword, and raised the "Bright Star" to stop the Valkyrie who wanted to break through.

"My Lord, let the evil be scattered and let the light shine on us who are lowly......"

In the whispered sound of prayer, the Knight of Oath forcibly parried Brunhilde, whose strength was several times or even ten times that of him, and was deflected to the side by the swinging black spear.

In the next second, the mottled "bright star" swept past the Valkyrie's cheeks......

"Poof——!

The Knight of the Oath shuddered and his eyes fell, and as he swung the tip of his spear, Brunhilde's left arm pierced his chest.

In the next second, the blood-gushing Knight of the Oath was thrown into the air like a piece of rotten meat, and then slammed to the ground!

Lying in a pool of blood, the Knight of Oaths, whose chest was pierced, supported his body with the sword in his left hand, and struggled to get up tremblingly, still praying in his mouth:

"O Holy Cross, admonish your faithful and set them on the true path......

"Brunhilde, tell this dog to shut me up and kill both of them again!"

Fanesis's furious voice rang out, mixed with a roar of exasperation that even drowned out the prayers of the Knights of Oath.

The dark Valkyrie moved, and before the Oath Knight could get up, she pierced his throat with her spear again, and the Oath Knight who was suspended in the air struggled with all her might, and the muttering mouth continued to spurt blood foam, and the tenacious vitality was running out little by little.

And in the next moment......

"Wow... dreams!"

The black-haired wizard who knelt on one knee spoke in a deep voice with difficulty, and as the words fell, a gray-blue magic circle covered in intricate patterns spread out under his feet, and filled the entire altar at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Boom ——————!!!!"

The impregnable shrine collapsed, and the cracked floor dragged everyone present into an abyss with no end in sight, and the boundless darkness instantly swallowed everything around it.

In the face of the sudden darkness, Farnesis's face not only did not have a trace of consternation, but was even more contemptuous, and the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth was like a crescent moon:

"I see... Hehehe... Hehehehehahaha...... This is your hole card, is this the final dying struggle, Loren Turin......?

Farnesis laughed wildly, "You think you can trap me and Brunhilde with a small high-level spell? I really should praise you for your naivety and stupidity!"

"A 'small high-level spell' is certainly not likely to impose any restrictions on you and the Valkyrie. ”

Loren, who looked indifferent, smiled calmly, silently raised his right hand, and held an unpretentious, even somewhat worn cup in his hand:

"But if you add it... Not necessarily. ”
