Ebolden underground, at the other end of the sewers......

The remnants of the War Dancer staggered past the Guardian Knight, but another roaring fierceness had already arrived.

"Bell!"

With a crisp clash, the cold sword swung away from the Night's Watchman's throwing knives, and the horizontal blade forced the female elf to leap to her feet, leaving only a few dents in the armor.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow of the Night's Watch had swooped down behind the turned knight, and the elf's eyes widened before she could see the sword hanging from his ankle.

"Vera ——!"

The terrified figure of the night watchman had already leapt into the air, trying his best to dodge the fierce sword wind that suddenly swung from below, and the war dancer gritted his teeth for that moment, his clenched spear stabbing forward!

"Bell ——!"

The fleeting spark did not swing the tip of the spear, and the steel sword and spear parried each other.

The Guardian Knight and the War Dancer were almost face to face, and the strength in their hands was unyielding against each other's weapons. It's just that compared with the hideous expression of the female elf, the knight is calm and can't even see the slightest wave in his eyes.

Sweating coldly, Vera leaned against the wall of the corridor, her left hand covering the wound in her abdomen, and her left hand, holding a short knife, weakly pointed at the guard knight who was facing away from her.

"I've heard that Loren guy talk about you. The female elf glared, and her voice was still not polite: "She is worthy of being a lackey of the church!"

"Faith is power. ”

The voice of the guard knight was as calm as rigid, and the strength in his hand did not relax in the slightest: "Those who sacrifice their lives for the Holy Cross will be invincible!"

"Invincible?"

The female elf spat disdainfully, and raised her chin defiantly: "Who told you, puppy? I guess it's your bishop, right?"

The guard knight frowned slightly: "Elves who don't believe in gods, you don't understand ...... at all"

"It's you who don't understand!" Liya preemptively said, the spear in her hand slowly exerted force: "Yes, in the eyes of you self-righteous guys, I am just an elf from the forest, how can I understand your big truths? I really don't understand, but I don't want to understand either!"

"I have eyes, I can see, I have ears, I can hear, right and wrong, my heart has my own judgment!"

The disdainful female elf snorted lightly: "Unlike you 'smart people', I read a ghost drawing talisman or two from the paper, and when I heard the bishop say two words, I thought I knew something!"

"The wisdom of Lord Fanecis, the truth of the Holy Cross, how can you ......?"

Before she finished speaking, the ears of the female elf who clenched the barrel of the gun twitched slightly.

She heard at least two familiar footsteps, just passing by the corridor behind her!

"Bell ——!"

Seizing the opportunity, Leah picked off the blade of the sword with one shot, and the spear of the round dance forced the guard knight back, and the spear was horizontal behind him!

"Vera, let's go!" Before the guard knight could turn around, the light figure had already crossed the wall above his head, and blocked his counterattack with a single shot: "They're back!"

The wounded night watchwoman looked startled, and a moment later, the figure had disappeared into the darkness of the corridor.

"Come here today, you're sure to want to find your master. The war dancer with the gun in his backhand took a few steps back, and this time his eyes were much more solemn: "My name is Riya, the war dancer of the Morning Star Forest, and the knight of the church, tell me your name!"

After a moment of silence, a trace of pain flashed on the face of the indifferent guard knight, as if he remembered something, and struggled to speak slowly:

"After Lord Farnesis became bishop, I made an oath to the 'sword of oaths'. ”

"From that day on, I had no name, until... Until I turn my back on Lord Fanescre, or ......"

"Until Lord Fanecis turns away from the Holy Cross!"

The next moment, his eyes regained their calm: "But as long as I have a breath, neither of these things will happen." ”

The female elf looked at him quietly, and for that moment she forgot that the guy in front of her was an enemy.

"You're so pathetic. Liya muttered, "But he's a good person, hurry up and find your master!"

The elf's voice echoed in her ears, and the knight of the guard silently withdrew her sword and stood in place, until the figure disappeared, and then turned in the direction of Fanesis.

.............................. The collapsed Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, and Farness, lying in a pool of blood, is still teetering on the brink of death.

At the moment when the steel sword pierced the center of the eyebrows, time and perception ...... They are all far away from him.

It was a sign before stepping into eternity and darkness.

He failed...... The Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star has been taken from him, and he has lost his last chance, sacrificing half the life of the city and the church of Eberden in exchange for a failed ending.

And before long, his consciousness will also disappear from this world.

"You... I'm going to die......"

The faint sound of the wind in my ears turned into a sound in the darkness and dead silence.

"But perhaps... It's not going to die......"

The cold touch pierced into Fanescis's consciousness, as if just hearing that voice was terrifying!

Who?!

Farnesis, whose throat was torn apart, was no longer able to speak, but the consciousness in his heart flashed through this sentence.

The voice laughed, and the terrifying laughter made Fanecis tremble violently even the rest of his consciousness!

"You summoned me... But I don't know...... Who am I?"

"No...... No, no, no... You know very well ... You send thousands of ants to hell... Let me hear you......"

Fanecis only felt a whirlwind of the world!

I actually summoned an evil god, and instead of occupying that body, this guy followed him all the way here?!

"Of course... Fools will stand up in front of dragons...... Huge brute... A fire-spitting crawler... I'll slaughter them sooner or later... But not now......"

The vicious voice became deep and dark again:

"Now... The dog of the Holy Cross... You summoned me...... As a gift... I can bring you back from the dead... I can give it to you...... Your unimaginable power ......"

Don't even think about it, despicable evil god, I will never make a deal with you!

"Very resolute... Very courageous... Worthy of the dog of the Holy Cross...... But... You're going to die... You've got a lot of work to do, right... You have to watch the enemies of the Holy Cross... The lackeys of the other evil gods are rampant ......"

"If you die... Who's going to stop them......"

"If you die... Who can know the truth about what is happening here......"

"Even if you forget it all... As a follower of the Holy Cross... Isn't it your natural mission to hinder me...... Watching me leave... Go find the next Fallen... Such... Is it really good......"

"Are you religious? So... No confidence ......"

"Don't believe in yourself... You can resist my temptation......"

In the dead darkness, the consciousness of Farnesis fell into eternal silence.

Then, once again, he heard the laughter of the trembling soul!

"Do you know what I like most about you... Dog of the Holy Cross ......"

"It's you lowly creatures... There are countless excuses that can be found in order to survive... To abandon all that you hold dear... It's... It's so interesting......

The next moment, Fanecis felt his consciousness go back to his body, and the intense pain pierced his brain continuously!

No, it wasn't pain—his wounds were repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The pores of the whole body opened up instantly, and the dull nerves seemed to become extremely sensitive in an instant, so sensitive that you could even feel the flowing blood and throbbing heart!

The pain in his chest, throat, and eyebrows gradually disappeared, and an unknown energy instantly flowed through his body, rejuvenating his body, which had already begun to be cold and stiff.

Like a drowning man who has woken up, Fanecis, who has opened his eyes, suddenly gets up and gasps for breath!

"Lord Fanescis, are you still alive?!"

An excited voice made Phanes look away, and the loyal knight of the guard was half-kneeling beside him,

He's alive... Farnesis gasped, his eyes filled with no hint of joy in his eyes, only uncontrollable fear.

"Where are you going next, Lord Farnesis?" the knight didn't ask about the Holy Grail, "Do you want to return to the cathedral?"

"No...... Can't go back. Despite his awakening, Farnesis's consciousness remained as clear as ever: "The Church of Eboden has fallen, and we must get out of the city as soon as possible - before the Imperial Legion and the Free Council take control of all of Eboden!"

The knight nodded silently and picked up Farnesis to leave. Didn't notice that the "Lord Bishop" was looking completely on his wrist...... Black cross imprint.

"Remember my name... Dog of the Holy Cross...... Or have you ever heard of me... Then never forget ......"

"My name... Seliol ......"
