Chapter 228: When the curtain ends
"Whew, that's great, that sister is so good." Candace leaned against the window, and when she saw Yuma's figure slaying the demon who had slipped through the net, she let go of her hanging heart.
There were more than twenty people in the boardroom-like room, most of them high-ranking members of the church, but there were very few soldiers to protect it, but it was enough to protect the temporarily requisitioned house, because most of the manpower had been handed over to Gegu.
In addition, although the Great Holy Church is in the west of the city, it is not only conspicuous but also very close to the defense line, so everyone in the church has moved here.
"Remind the soldiers to be vigilant, the front line cannot stop all demons!" A priest gave an uneasy order.
There were many others like him, but the panic was not too high, at least their spiritual leader, Archbishop Gamori, was still not calm.
"A demon is approaching us!" Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in the room. Candace looked sideways, and the person who spoke was Ophelia, who was standing beside her.
"What's wrong?"
"You see, she's coming in our direction." Ophelia's mouth naturally refers to Yuma.
Candace quickly turned back, and the mighty sword was really trying its best to rush towards them.
"Soldier ......"
"Calm down!" Archbishop Gamori interrupted the panicked voice of a certain priest, "Everyone stay away from windows and doors......"
Suddenly there was the sound of something falling on the roof, and the faintly audible roar was simply numb.
Priest Vincent hurriedly made a silent gesture and waved his hand to signal everyone not to move. According to the information collected by the church, the demons will have a method of attacking with a finger gun, and the roof of the building of ordinary thickness cannot be stopped at all, and if the sound is heard, it is likely to be attacked.
This is still the horror they really feel up close to the demon.
Cold sweat oozed from the foreheads of many people, and the trembling eyes and violent heartbeat clearly showed that in front of the demons, they were not much different from ordinary people.
Even if they were able to hide from it by keeping quiet, they were still holding on to it like a life-saving straw.
The sound of adjusting footsteps was heard from the roof of the building, and the sound source kept moving above everyone's heads, and I don't know where it would stop......
The soldiers on guard outside finally spotted the demon on the roof.
"Get down! Come to us, bastard! ”
Several javelins were projected at the roof, but they failed to do so due to the angle. The soldiers clenched their weapons and shouted, and a few clever ones hurried to the third floor of the house.
But the actions of the soldiers made the demon more and more excited......
"Hehe, it seems that there is really some big man hidden, I don't know if his internal organs will be more tender."
After the temptation, the demon stomped his feet fiercely, and a large hole was instantly broken in the wooden roof, and in the midst of the exclamations, a thick thigh stretched out, with sharp nails on each toe.
That lower position is so slow! Ophelia saw the demon appear, and there was no time for her to hesitate.
Candace watched in amazement as Ophelia pushed the humanoid statue she had brought with her to the ground, shattering into the shards, revealing a familiar greatsword.
The sword mark on the sword, Candace, remembers that it was the big sword that Sister Annabelle used in the first place!
Then a sword light slashed at the demon who had just jumped out of the hole, and the blade that had been sealed for many years once again drank the long-lost purple blood.
"Impossible, how can there be a big sword!?" The demon covered the broken wound on his left shoulder and hurriedly retreated, "No, your hair color is not blonde, cut, it turns out that it is just an ordinary person with a big sword." ”
It lowered its arms, and the wound on its shoulder looked long but not deep, and it was not as powerful as a great sword.
"When did this sword become so heavy...... Ophelia gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, still feeling heavy, the sword he swung out in a hurry just now was aimed at the demon's neck, but the lack of strength and speed finally made this only chance lost.
And the throbbing pain in her arm reminded her that her current identity was just a female painter who had been lacking exercise for a long time.
There was the sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and the soldiers were about to rush up, but it seemed to be a little late.
"I'm very vindictive." With a wave of the demon's arm, the sharp finger gun seemed to pierce the air.
Ophelia was extremely familiar with the demon's attacks, but due to physical limitations, he only had time to lift his sword as a shield in front of him.
A huge sense of impact was transmitted from the sword body to the shoulder, and at the same time, there was a heart-rending pain!
After all, the sword body couldn't completely block her entire body.
"Miss Aoife!"
Candace hurriedly rushed forward, but the demon's finger gun did draw its whip in an instant, and the young and thin body was suddenly knocked down, unconscious.
"You are not allowed to hurt God's believers like this again!" Priest Vincent no longer had his usual amiable appearance, and stood up angrily, standing alone in front of Ophelia and Candace.
"Tsk, actually, I don't mind starting with the old man's internal organs."
The fat thick tongue licked the blood between the fingers, and the demon showed an expression of extreme enjoyment, and then the finger gun in the other hand suddenly shot out!
The soldiers who had just run to the third floor were immediately pierced through the chests by one or two finger guns.
The priests next to them immediately smelled a stirring smell of blood.
Just when most people were in despair, the windows of the houses were suddenly slammed open!
"This line of defense is too long!"
Yuma, who was late, complained unsteadily, and when she saw a few people in the room, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Dead? The next moment, she shouted angrily and pounced on the demon!
"It's finally here, and I'll leave it to you...... Xiaofu. Looking at the back with empty eyes, Ophelia's self-supporting spirit finally collapsed rapidly, and under the black and red wounds on her abdomen and thighs, the red blood soaked a large part of her skirt.
……
Consciousness is like floating in deep water, getting lighter and faster, as if some force is supporting itself upward.
Then the next moment, she sensed the presence of her body and tentatively moved her thighs.
"Awake? Thankfully, we came back in time. ”
Before she could open her eyes, she heard Annabelle's voice, and Ophelia quickly raised her eyes as if she were in a nightmare.
She was lying on her bed at home, the sun outside the window was already dark, and Anna was sitting on a chair beside the bed, wearing a beautiful new pale green dress.
It can be seen that the fabric is layered but thin, and the top layer is almost transparent in the sun.
"yes, you're back. That's good. Ophelia felt her body again, and as expected, there was no pain, but the mental exhaustion had not yet disappeared.
"Is it over yet?"
"Well, they're all still alive, and the fighters are working hard this time."
Annabelle picked up a large sword that was placed at the head of the bed, her eyes were a little nostalgic, "I thought I would never see it again in my life...... It's full of memories. ”
"Sorry, I used it privately." Ophelia lifted the thin quilt and sat up, only to realize that she had changed her clothes.
"It's okay, by the way, Flora came to see you, and she changed your clothes for you." Annabelle's eyes showed a slight emotion of revenge pleasure, "How is it, happy?" ”
Ophelia smiled bitterly: "She probably blames me for being reckless." ”
"Well, yes, I pinched your face when I left." Annabelle said with a smile.
"Don't lie to me," Ophelia saw through it at a glance, rubbed her cheeks and lifted her spirits, "How are you guys, hasn't Li Fang come back yet?" ”
"Well, it's all going well," Annabelle smiled, "There were a lot of wounded, especially the soldiers and the lower ranks, so Li Fang is busy now, but in the end the casualties are very small, and it is a beautiful battle." ”
