Chapter 67: Demons
The Knight of the Temple of the Most Good Holy See is a high-level combatant who has mastered the art of angelic descent. Hall Knights can summon Rank 13 Angels to possess them, but they can't exert the full power of Tier 13 Angels. Compared to the mage, the Temple Knight is equivalent to a 12th-level mage.
The Knights of the Temple are more inclined to melee combat than the Wizards, who have a full range of mid-range attacks, but they also have the ability to use divine energy to strike at range.
After claiming to be a heretic gazing into the Abyssal Church and summoning a demon to sweep through the Blue Church Knights, the five Knights of the Templars guarding the Blue Cathedral were belated.
Together, they flew down from the top floor of the cathedral, actinizing angel wings outstretched, holding angelic swords in their right hands and summoning a shield of holy light in their left hand, like a descending comet, while delivering a "holy blow" on the raging demons.
Holy Strike is a combat skill of the Angel Clan, which uses the high potential energy when diving to carry out shield strikes on enemies on the ground and low altitudes, with extremely strong impact power.
The five palace knights aimed at the huge demon at the same time, and a long trail of light dragged out behind them. Three of the Temple Knights swooped straight down from top to bottom, and the shield of holy light in front of them emitted a dazzling light; The other two Hall Knights adjusted the angle of the angel wings as they dived, forming two arcs and blocking the space where the demon could dodge.
Immediately after the appearance of the Knights of the Temple, the demon felt the breath of the angel of his mortal enemy. It roared in the air, and its body retreated into subspace.
The demon disappeared into the square, but the Knights of the Temple did not lose their purpose. When demons move in subspace, there are traces to follow, and any movement of them will cause spatial fluctuations, faintly revealing the outline of their bodies. And the demons who fight only on instinct do not know where to use subspace to hide themselves.
The demon entered the subspace not to dodge the attack, but to use the ability to move in the subspace to charge back against the knight.
A cloud of bubbles surging up like boiling water, and the brightness of the five Temple Knights holding up the shield of holy light reached its peak. When the two sides met in mid-air twenty meters above the ground, the demon rushed out of subspace and waved its claws...... A burst of flame exploded above him.
Five Holy Blows Unleashed......
The two impulses collided, causing another explosion.
A horizontal shock wave spread with flames and holy light, and the strong wind swept across the square, shattering all the glass on the buildings around the square.
Glass, masonry, and outdoor facilities fell down, citizens who were hiding screamed and fled, and many were smashed under the falling objects. Crying and shouting were mixed......
The soldiers of the empire were equally stunned by such a battle, ordinary soldiers had no idea how much damage their rifles could do to such a terrible demon, they had never even seen a demon, most of them thought it was an ancient creature that had long since disappeared.
Everyone was afraid, and strict military discipline restrained the soldiers to continue to hold their positions.
Then...... The battle fortress powered by a steam engine reached the street near the church, and these crab-shaped steel machines, with rotating turrets, moved their multi-legged mechanical legs into combat positions. After coming to a standstill, the mechanical legs were depressurized, deployed, and fixed to form a cannon mount, and the large-caliber cannon at the top of the fortress was aimed at the demons that were wielding power in the blue cathedral square.
However, according to the agreement between the Empire and the Holy See, in the event of an armed conflict between the Holy See and the Pagan Sect, the Imperial army will try not to interfere. Originally, this was a privilege that the Holy See of the Supreme Good had obtained from various countries in order to maintain the unity of religion on the continent of order. But this time...... The Imperial Army took advantage of the privilege of the Holy See of the Supreme Kindness to watch the Blue Cathedral fight against the pagan sects, intent on causing the Church Knights and the Temple Knights to consume the demons with terrifying combat power.
In the vicinity of the battlefield, some lucky church knights struggled to get up. But the battle between the demons and the knights of the temple continued to cause huge explosions, and the aftermath of combat skills and magic blew the knights of the church who had just stood up again. Their strength can't play any role in a battle at this level.
However, the Knights of the Church who kept up with the times did not only wear armor and hold a long-handled battle axe in close combat, these were just the clothes they usually wore in front of the citizens of Saroyan to set off the sacredness and majesty of the Church of the Most Good. Not only are the Church Knights trained in cold weapons, but they also have their own arsenal of hot weapons.
The Holy See State has equipped its churches with a full set of weapons, and the cathedral itself is a castle that is both offensive and defensive.
Priests armed with silver wings took off from inside the church, spears and cannons sticking out of the windows.
The demons are still fighting the palace knights, and the strength of the 13th order is not inferior to the five 12th order palace knights. The demon has the physique of a transcendent being, and both its strength and physical defense are far greater than that of a knight who simply transforms into an angel. The hell race makes the demon have a very strong affinity for fire magic, and all kinds of powerful fire magic are splashed out, making the temple unable to fight at close range, and being chased by magic when the distance is opened.
The knights of the temple circled around the demon like flies being driven away, and all they could do was to do their best to contain them and wait for the help of the knights of the church......
Ramses and another member of the Abyssal Church stood on a high platform in the middle of the demonic summoning circle, looking at the temple knights and church knights who looked like chickens in front of the demons. From time to time, use defensive magic to block a sneak attack......
"Lord Bishop......" The congregation standing next to Ramses complimented in a sharp voice: "The demon is really powerful! Your Excellency has given you such a powerful demon, and you must have high hopes that you will be able to develop the Salo Young Chapter as quickly as possible. If you can complete the task of being a president as soon as possible, you will surely be able to take on more important responsibilities in the church. ”
Ramses, who has such a powerful demon, is also very proud, he said: "More than ten years ago...... The elite of the Church was betrayed by traitors and was surrounded and suppressed by the Holy See, forcing us to leave the Continent of Order. Now we are returning to the center of this world civilization with greater strength, and fear is fed here.
This attack on the Blue Cathedral is to avenge the murder they pursued back then. Feel free to let the citizens of the entire city of Saroyan know...... I came, I brought fear, I brought demons. The Holy See of the Most Good cannot protect them, and only by joining the Abyss of Gazing can they be redeemed and enjoy the power that the fear of the entire city brings us! ”
While praising Ramses' wisdom and strength, the congregation said worriedly: "Although we knew in advance that the bishop of the Blue Cathedral was not here, ...... The silver wings of the church had flown out, and the guns......
Will it cause damage to demons? ”
Ramses nodded: "You're right...... We are only here for demonstration, and the destruction of the Blue Cathedral is not part of my immediate plans.
Prepare to retreat......"
