Chapter XVI. Assassination of the Pope
From a very young age, after Nero's adoptive parents, Gilliet's own parents, died in a demonic attack, he was completely indifferent to the way the church preached, and if you preach that godly believers will be blessed by God, then why did he and Gilliette's parents die? Are they not religious?
And at that time, although Nero had not yet joined the Demon Sword Knights Order, and he did not know the specific situation, he did not believe the words of the churchββββ and was attacked and killed by a demon that suddenly appeared while investigating the ruins in the Metis Forest? What are you kidding, there were so many people who went there at that time, why were they the only ones who died? And why didn't even their bodies come back?
There are too many doubts in this, but these things, Nero does not want to pursue any more now.
And even if they avoided it, why were they brutally murdered by demons when they believed so much that the omnipotent gods would bless them..... If it was him Nero who died, he would not have complained at all, because God did not need to protect him, but they had such a devout faith.....
Isn't God supposed to redeem those who are good? They deserve God's greatest favor!
And when he entered the church and was exposed to all the dirty work of darkness, he was even more sure that what the Church had said was a big lie! If he hadn't been able to find evidence, he would have gone to the church headquarters to make a big fuss!
So, from that moment on, Nero sneered at the so-called doctrinal gods, he didn't believe in gods, he only believed in power, and only with the power to protect themselves and protect Jiliet, they wouldn't die easily at the hands of demons!
And the reason why Nero joined the Demon Sword Knight Order, and also helped the Order to deal with the dirty work of those demons and humans who were bent down by demons, was completely because of Ji Liye, he had to protect Ji Liye, so where Ji Liye was, he Nero was.
The pope on the stage is still preaching and preaching, just like the school leaders on the earth, chattering, barely stopping as soon as he speaks.
And Nero basically didn't listen to anything, and the sound of the pope's prayer was no doubt about the noise for him, and he was bored of listening to it.... Sure enough, I'm still not used to this kind of atmosphere.
Finally, the pope's muffled prayer finally ended, but it didn't end..... He made a gesture of prayer and stood silently on the stage, and the believers in the audience also responded to the Pope by clasping their hands together and began to pray, which made Nero feel even more uncomfortable.
Can't sit still! I'm afraid I'll suffocate to death if I stay any longer! Thinking so, Nero took off his headphones and stood up, making a gesture to leave.
And Ji Liet, who was sitting next to him, heard the movement, and quickly turned her head to ask Nero in a low voice, "Nero... What's wrong? β
"If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'm going to fall asleep, I really can't stand this atmosphere, I'll go first."
Fortunately, now both the Pope and the audience, and even the knights of the Order who served as guards on the stage are bowing their heads and praying earnestly, no one will notice him, and it is the best time to slip away now.
Jiliet obviously didn't want to let Nero go like this, and said with some embarrassment: "But the prayer is not over yet....."
"I'm sorry, Kiliet, I really can't get used to this atmosphere.... I'll pick you up when the festival is over. β
After saying this, Nero wanted to leave, but Juliet hurriedly chased after him....
At the same time, above the colorful glass dome of the church, Li Hao and Dante were faintly looking at the people below.
Seeing Dante staring at the Pope below, Li Hao asked, "Don't you want to assassinate that Pope?" Now is the right time to do it, look at them now, one by one is defenseless, at this time, take it safely. β
Dante said, "Well, I just want to make sure first...... There was an indescribable stench on the old man's body, and the smell was even worse than those scruffy demons, and it seemed that the old man was no longer human, as Tracy said. β
Li Hao asked, "So.... Do it? β
Dante smiled and gave Li Hao a look, "Do it!" β
Well?! Nero, who was quietly walking outside the church, reacted instantly to the moment Li Hao and Dante showed their murderous aura!
"Demons?! Or the guy I met that night! β
"Nero, what did you say?"
"It's a demon! I feel the breath of the devil! β
"Demons?!" Ji Liet's expression changed and she said, "But how is it possible?!" There are dozens of knights of the Order guarding the perimeter of the church, how could the demons get past their defenses and silently invade the church?! β
Nero thinks so too, but his demonic hand can't be wrong.... The knights of the Order around me can't see it, and it's within range of my demon's hand...
It's the dome of the church! It happens to be the blind spot guarded by the knights of the Order, and it is also the place where the demon's hand can sense it!
Just as Nero looked up at the dome overhead, the entire dome suddenly shattered! The two figures stepped directly through the stained glass of the dome and fell straight down!
Smack... Countless shards of glass fell from the top of the heads of the church, and under the illumination of the sun, there were still sharp and dazzling lights, and those glass shards falling from the sky were tantamount to sharp blades at this time!
"Be careful!" Nero pulled Gillieth into his arms, turned his back, and used his back to block the sharp shards of glass for Gillieth!
Even though he protected Gilliet, Nero didn't take his eyes off the two intruders who suddenly appeared.
The two silver-haired men who fell from the sky, one was a middle-aged man wearing a long red trench coat and carrying a big sword on his back, and the other.... A week ago, the mysterious 'boy' who fought with himself in the suburbs!
When he saw Li Hao again, Nero only felt that his ribs, which had healed, were aching faintly again..... What is this dangerous guy trying to do now when he breaks into the Magic Sword Festival?!
Noticing Nero's gaze, Li Hao volleyed a smile at him, and Nero suddenly felt a chill all over his body! In any case, the presence of this guy here will certainly not be a good thing!
Li Hao suddenly raised his hand and pointed in Dante's direction, "This time the protagonist is not me, you look over there." β
What do you mean? Is it someone else who is going to make trouble?!
Nero subconsciously turned his gaze to see that the middle-aged man in red fell directly on the stage pope's bulletin stand, and quickly took something out of his arms, and when Nero realized that he was pulling out a pistol, gunshots had already sounded in the church!
In an instant, the venue was silent, and everyone was stunned.
The people in the church didn't even react for a moment to what was happening, because the scene on the Pope's side was all blocked by Li Hao and Dante, and they couldn't see anything until they heard the dull sound of the Pope falling to the ground.
Dante stood on the pulpit and slowly looked back at the congregants in the church.... His face was still stained with scarlet blood that had burst out of the Pope's head!
Their pope, assassinated!!
