Chapter 80: The True Cross Part II

Once upon a time, even older than the old Republican period, mechs were born. And powerful machines bring not civilization, but endless killing. Humans attack each other like mortal enemies, and power ** is even more intoxicating, and the rulers of the ancient empire are distressed by the rebellion of the knights.

Finally, they found a way to restrain the knight. Knights were at the heart of power even in those ancient times. However, as its power grows, it becomes an uncontrollable existence in itself, and even the blade that kills the enemy may turn against its master.

Therefore, the existence of the Restriction Knight came into being.

Fifteen years ago, under St. Peter's Basilica, the Crusaders unearthed the Holy Lance Longinus and the True Cross from the ruins. But this is nothing more than the papal rhetoric to the outside world, and in fact. The so-called holy spear is actually the prototype weapon of the high-powered gun operated by the mecha, and this technology was later acquired by the New Roman Empire, and one of the divine tools was imitated [Gangnir]. As for the True Cross, the Holy See spent ten years studying its usefulness, and all the organs that had gained nothing would have been abandoned. But an accident completely changed everything.

The Albigensians, who had been active in South Francia against the Holy See, rebelled against the Papal Guard.

At that time, the main force of the Holy See was completely in the south to resist the harassment of the Moors, and unexpectedly, the garrison quickly took control of the gates of the city of Rome and surrounded the Vatican with mechas.

The panicked cardinal almost thought that the end of the day was coming, and they were almost desperate, and they could not even escape Rome.

However, their pope did not panic, and the Holy See offered a true cross.

And while all the cardinals were suspicious of this so-called religious "prop", the head of the agency vouched for the reversal of the situation with the guarantee of his personality.

When the rebels broke through the gates of the Vatican, the true cross standing in the center of the square weaved a purple net in the sky, and the rebels' mobile forces lost control in an instant, and in turn slaughtered the Albigensian rebels, causing the situation to take a turn for the worse.

Afterwards, people found the fragmented body of the knight from the mecha, as if he had been half-bitten by some beast, and the flesh was blurred and disgusting.

It was discovered that the so-called true cross was not a symbol, but a real execution, used to judge the rebellious knights.

The moment the purple grid opened, Cons. Dante already felt the ominous aura, the true cross did not have a trace of holiness and solemnity, on the contrary, Cons. Dante felt tyranny and evil.

"Your Highness, please taste it. I wonder if you can tell me how painful it is? Álvaro whispered softly.

As soon as the man's cold words fell, Cons Dante felt the whole mecha in his body, no, the whole mecha, the trembling body was restless, and the violent electricity suddenly flowed into the body in a rage.

It was as if the entire mech's current was being controlled, and with a "poof", Constance Dante spat out blood.

How so?

"Do you know what happened to those who tried to rebel against the church, who were devoured alive by their own cars? Farewell, Your Highness! As soon as the chilling words fell, a raging electric current destroyed the communicator.

Listening to the noise in his ears, Álvaro shook his head and said to himself with a sneer: "What a pity! I wanted to hear the lamentation of the Knight King before he died. ”

And the frightened gaze behind him came from the knights from the Holy See who were loyal to the Church, and although most of them had never seen it with their own eyes, they witnessed it with their own eyes, and they stared in fear at the black cross, which no longer represented pious faith, but more like a totem of repression.

The electricity flowing through his body seemed to destroy everything that passed, and Considae's consciousness became more and more blurred.

Constance Dante knew that the so-called devouring was the result of the loss of high-voltage electricity, and the whole body would eventually be shattered as a result.

A true cross can affect the body and make it go berserk!

It's not that Álvaro can't kill Cons, but he wants to watch the other party suffer and die, and that pain is no different from burning at the stake. Álvaro stood proudly outside the radiant circle of the True Cross and watched the black ghost die and struggle, but in front of the vision caused by the purple electricity, the so-called crusaders were more like demons. And the holy cross is even more terrifying.

Does the so-called Holy See in everyone's heart really represent justice? Perhaps, it is the real evil.

【KLIBANOPHORO】Kneeling on both legs, like a prisoner waiting to die.

Suddenly, the purple electric light stopped abruptly, and Álvaro drove [Michael] to pull out the dragon's tooth sword behind his back and walked towards Constance Dante.

And Constance Dante was now unable to move, looking at Álvaro who was slowly approaching, Constance Dante's face squeezed out a wry smile.

What a carelessness! It seems that Sophia is really going to be entrusted to Her Royal Highness.

As the rain poured over the city, Álvaro stepped through the mud and walked in front of Constance Dante, raising his sword as if an executioner were about to cut off his head.

Under the rain curtain, like a thick oil painting, a white angel is judging the rebellious black demon・・・・・・

"Hey, Constance. Are you having nightmares again? The boy's silhouette appeared in front of him, but it was too blurry to see his face clearly, and only the immature and calm voice could be heard. Sleep in a place like this, and it will be lit up again later. ”

"I see, Brother Justine."?!

Then I am・・・・・・ but at this time, Constance Dante is more like a sojourner in another person's body, unable to do anything.

The boy also lay on the lawn with him, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, strange to say, obviously the sky in his vision was so clear, but the boy's face next to him seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Eh, Cons Dante, if you leave here one day, where do you want to go?" Suddenly, the boy turned his head and asked inexplicably.

"Huh~? I didn't think about it, but it's actually very good here! ”

"You know what, Constance Dante. In fact, the outside world is much more interesting than here, out of the land and the sea, and the vast desert and snow-capped plains, Cons Dante, if we leave here one day, will you want to go with me to see it? The boy asked, looking at Constance Dante.

"Well, if Justin wants to go, I'll definitely follow. Ha ha! ”

"Bang", but the boy rewarded a snap of his finger on the door of the head.

"It hurts~"

"It's so fake, Cons Dante, you still want to be with Sister Anna all the time!" The boy snorted. "Anyway, I don't want to stay in this country. Someday - I'll leave here and leave my footprints in this world! ”
