After a day of dealing with affairs, Bishop Vaughn was already a little tired, after all, his vigorous energy was no longer the capital he had, so he had already properly shared part of the power in his hands two years ago, but there were still some key affairs in his hands, not that he was unwilling to let go, but as long as he sat in this position for a day, these things must be firmly in his hands. [Full text reading.]

With a slight twist of his aching neck, he stood up and made his way to the back hall, the squire hastening to hold up the thick dossier for him, and the paladin of the guard pushed open the door and walked steadily ahead, steel boots clanging against the solid marble floor.

However, when I turned around a long and deep corridor, I found that the wall lamps on both sides had been extinguished.

Bishop Vaughn frowned and said displeasedly, "What's going on?"

There was a rush of footsteps from the corner, and then the candle lit and the figure of a female prayer teacher came into view, who seemed to be terrified, and trembled her hands to light the wall lamp, not daring to look at Vaughn in the slightest.

Vaughn didn't have the heart to care about these little things, and suddenly there was some dazzling light that made his eyes close slightly, but the attendant in front of him blamed: "How can the wall lamp here be extinguished?

Vaughn shook his head, these trivial matters were now handled by his attendants, but he couldn't help but wonder a little, how could there be a prayer master here?

He felt the atmosphere in the air slightly different from before, as if he had a faint smell of some kind of cold blood, even though he hadn't fought anyone in a long time. But the dangerous feeling still stifled his nerves, which had been weakened by age, like sharp spikes. The eyes that had just been closed opened suddenly, and a low shout suddenly came out of his mouth: "Holy shield!"

The sound was like a muffled thunder rolling in the enclosed space, Vaughn's body instantly flashed an oval white light mask that wrapped around his body, two black shadows appeared silently from the darkness, and two pitch-black daggers stabbed him in the chest, abdomen and throat one from the left and one right, to his anger, the two daggers did not know what material they were made of, and they were only slowed down when they passed through the holy shield. It's like a hand that had been in the air suddenly passed through a body of water, and although it was blocked a little slowly, it was still stubbornly swimming forward.

However, although the position of the two assassins, the angle of their attack, and the timing of their attack were well chosen, the attack was delayed after all.

These slight differences alone determine that the assassin's next move cannot be completed in a step-by-step manner.

The first to react was the paladin on the side, he suddenly jumped out to block Vaughn's body, and at the same time drew his sword and threw it out, throwing the dagger in the hand of a sneak attacker as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the whole person was driven to stumble to the side, and the paladin also snorted. The pitch-black dagger in the hands of the other assailant was made of unknown metal, easily piercing through his armor and stabbing through his lungs from under his arm, leaving him with no straight handle in an instant.

The paladin roared. Instead of retreating, he grabbed the owner of the dagger with his backhand, and at the same time rushed forward, slamming the unstable assassin on the right into the wall, and with a "boom", the shocking impact shattered the life of this person along with the bones and the wall.

However. The man embedded in the wall, who was supposed to be dead, unexpectedly hugged the Templar, and the latter's body suddenly burst into a divine light in shock, and in an instant, the other's body seemed to sizzle and smell of burnt under the boiling of an oil pan.

Vaughn wanted to get out of here right away, but he stopped after only two steps and began to chant loudly. Drops of sweat also oozed from his forehead. Because he felt that the assassin holding the paladin was spreading and expanding with a frantically swirling force in his body. In such a small hallway, he knew exactly what kind of power it would produce.

The Templars also felt the change, he knew what the Bishop wanted to do, all he needed to do at the moment was to buy the Bishop a little time, and for that, he could give everything he had, because his life existed for the Bishop!" The Templar pointed at Vaughn, and in an instant, the vitality and vitality of the whole person were withdrawn from his body at a rapid speed, and then Vaughn's body formed a golden shield that was stronger and more brilliant than the shield.

And at this moment, the strength of the attacker's physical strength also reached the root of the verge of eruption, and a breath of death and decay emanated, and then there was a "boom" of vibration, and dust fell from the top.

The paladin was shaken off the ground by the force of the explosion, and fell to the ground like soft mud after landing, if it weren't for the good armor on his body still connected to various parts of his body, maybe he would have been full of parts by now.

Vaughan's spell, which was standing in the Light Enchantment, was finally completed at this time, and he said loudly, "God's grace!"

He waved his hand slightly, and a white light flashed from his body, and his spirit was suddenly lifted.

Vaughn's shot is the same as his style, seeking to be invincible first,

The conditions for the use of divine grace in the light spell system are more harsh, this is a spell that can only be cast after reaching the high-level priesthood, and the energy and time occupied when practicing are not imaginable by ordinary people, usually after practicing this divine spirit, there is no spare energy to involve other spells of the same level, but the reward is also extremely huge, just by virtue of this divine grace, Vaughn's strength is firmly ranked in the top five of the diocesan bishops. []

Not only can the divine grace technique instantly restore serious wounds and injuries, but also greatly improve his body functions and nerve reactions, infinite vitality flows through his body, and he seems to have returned to his youth more than thirty years ago.

Even an ordinary person, with the blessing of divine grace. Physical. Speed and strength will increase to an incredible degree, although Vaughn's body has aged, but his control and affinity for the light element are not comparable to ordinary people, and almost 100% of the effects have been exerted.

Everything in front of him became unmistakable, even the swift speed and strange movements of the other killer suddenly became clear.

Before the other party arrived, the smell of rancid and disgusting had already dispersed, and there was almost the same attack method as the person's companion just now. Vaughn smiled coldly and stretched out one hand, but with this understatement, it completely locked the eruption of power, and the attacker froze and froze in place.

The corners of Vaughn's mouth showed a hint of ridicule, and with a slight wave of his hand, the filth and stench, along with the upper half of the person's body, melted and disintegrated under his slap, turning into the purest points of light and dissipating into the air.

"Bang!

Half of the waist fell to the ground.

The assassination attempt has failed.

Outside, the hurried footsteps of the guards sounded. Apparently the explosion had alarmed them.

Vaughn looked at the half of the corpse and couldn't help but think about it, the parish temple is the center of the diocese, and it is impossible to invade here without an inside line. Not only that, but the other party still knows his living habits very well, and there are not many people who can know this and make such a fine arrangement, and in an instant, a few names flashed in his mind, and he sighed. These were the people he trusted the most and the people he didn't want to think about the most, and if it was really one of them, whoever it was, it would make him extremely sad.

The sound of hurried footsteps had reached the corner, and Bishop Vaughn's mind was relieved, although the effect of divine grace was still on his body, but mental fatigue was not something that could be replaced by the body.

But right now. The lights around suddenly went out!

Two slender hands suddenly came out from under Vaughan's arms. And hugged him by the waist from behind.

Vaughn immediately judged that this was the female prayer teacher from the place just now. From the very beginning of the engagement, she seemed to be limp into the corner, and almost no one noticed her movements.

But he didn't panic, the moment he made contact, he felt that the weak and pitiful energy in this woman's body was not lethal to him at all, he snorted, and was about to make a move, but suddenly his body trembled, and then his eyes showed a look of extreme horror.

A slashing sword sliced through a small section of Vaughn's back like a delicate scalpel, and the nervous system of his entire body suddenly lost contact with him, and in an instant, before the effect of the divine grace could be repaired, another sword had already slashed at his head from top to bottom.

The flesh is broken and the bones are split.

Vaughn's wounds had been repaired when the sword had only cut through a small half of his head, and he had been dodging, shifting, writhing, and struggling, but the praunker behind him had strangled him with his soft body, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

But this is not the most deadly, if you change to an ordinary opponent, then under the offset swing of Vaughn's head, the position where the blade is cut is no longer the part originally envisaged, at most it is only a layer of skull, which cannot be regarded as an injury at all under the effect of divine grace.

However, the sword was like a spiritual viper, following the torn wound all the way in, and no matter what changes the living body had, it slashed all the way down, stubbornly biting, like a sharp blade cutting through parchment, cutting Vaughn's heart, head, neck and neck in two as quickly as possible, and everything that was hot and dry!

Vaughn had never seen such superb sword skills, nor had he ever seen such a sharp blade, and the magic defense robe on his body had almost no effect, although the divine grace had super repair ability, but no matter how powerful the divine skill was, it could not splice back a person who had been cut off from life.

Vaughn could feel the cold chill of the metal as it sliced through his body, and he could hear the tearing sound of the muscles as they were sliced open, and the crisp cracking sound of the bones like beautiful music.

With the fading divine radiance on his body, but not yet fully fading, he stared at the rusty sword in disbelief, as if the decay on it was a mocking face.

His lips trembled twice, and a thin line of blood spread all the way down the middle of his forehead, and his body fell limply backwards.

Then came darkness.

"Whew!"

The light is back on.

A large number of temple guards finally arrived, but the place was empty except for the bloodstains and "corpses" strewn around.

"Your Excellency!"

When the temple guards turned the body of the Bishop, who was still intact, the old man looked up with wide eyes, his dilated pupils filled with endless regret and horror.

PS: I went out to eat and just came back, sorry.
