021, the three popes (1)
Cork swore that he had never seen such a huge python, and he didn't even think about it, like a prehistoric monster that only appeared in myths and legends, breaking the limitations of time and space, and descending on them with the aura of ancient savagery.
The black scales looked extremely thick, faintly reflecting the unique luster of metal, meaning that their swords would probably only leave weak white marks when they fell on each other.
And the body and size of the snake, which was at least 120 years long, were imprinted in their hearts before the battle took place, and the terrifying impression of invincibility was imprinted.
Compared to this python, the three-eyed octopus that surrounded them was as docile and harmless as a newborn milk dog.
"Wait, they don't look like they meant to attack us. One of the Knights of the Divine Domain breathed a sigh of relief.
"So what? We are Knights of the Divine Domain, Knights of the Divine Domain who are not afraid of any hardships and obstacles!"
The grumpy barbarian habitually grabbed the long knife and felt it empty, only to remember that his beloved long knife, which had followed him for ten years, had been shattered by the Ocean God Domain Pope a few seconds ago.
Shame mixed with anger burned in the savage's heart, and he roared and threw a straight punch at a three-eyed octopus.
It was one of his usual magic techniques, the Great Subway Fist, which used the power of the gods to form a powerful fist, which was equivalent to being hit by a huge iron hammer, which could easily smash a stone wall into a hole.
This time, however, the Three-Eyed Octopus wasn't badly injured by the Big Subway Punch like the Barbarian had ever encountered.
To be exact, he didn't unleash this magic at all.
The magic is out of order!
The other knights of the Divine Domain wanted to dissuade them, and it was obviously not a wise decision to take the initiative to go to war when they had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by powerful enemies, even if it was good to gather a little information first, but the unexpected success of the barbarian made their persuasion turn into exclamation.
Subconsciously, several other Divine Domain knights tried to release their divine arts, and the divine runes engraved on their bodies never flickered again.
"We've lost our magic!"
I don't know who was the first to break the silence and present the terrible truth in front of me, and the faces of several Divine Domain knights became ugly.
Since the establishment of the Earth Divine Domain, there has not been a failure of divine magic, unless the Divine Domain Knight himself has committed an unforgivable sin and has been deprived of the status of the Divine Domain Knight and the qualification to release divine magic by the contemporary pope.
“...... All Elders and Knights of the Earth Divine Domain will lose the ability to unleash divine magic......"
Without anyone reminding them, the admonition of the Ocean God Domain Pope just now automatically echoed in their blank minds, over and over again.
"Guys, I think we're in trouble"
Before Cork could finish speaking, he saw a fog that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.
In the vigilance of the knights of the Divine Domain, the fog dissipated, and there were four more people on the surface of the lake again, three elders of the Divine Domain with iron faces and a thoughtful Hernan.
Great, in addition to the two Divine Domain Knights who went out because of the mission, the three Divine Domain Elders and the six Divine Domain Knights who stayed on the Holy Mountain were served by the Ocean Divine Domain Pope, Cork thought depressedly.
"Hernan, what about His Majesty Claude VII?" the barbarian was not as pessimistic as Cork, and he hurriedly asked about the Pope's whereabouts.
The eyes of the other Divine Knights lit up and their hope was rekindled.
Yes, although the Pope of the Ocean God Domain is powerful, he can transfer them to the lake in a way that is beyond the comprehension and imagination of ordinary people, but the Earth God Domain has the crown of Claude VII sitting in charge.
As long as the Pope is there, everything will turn around.
Hernan didn't answer the barbarian's words, and neither did the three Divine Domain Elders, but their faces became more and more pale.
"No"
"The Creator is above, and your most faithful knight is praying to you......"
Could it be that the Pope of the Sea God Domain did not lie and really obtained the oracle, otherwise how to explain the fact that the divine magic was invalid and Claude VII was not in the Holy Mountain would have all been fulfilled in less than ten minutes.
"Quiet, since that python and the three-eyed octopus didn't take the initiative to attack us, don't act rashly for the time being. ”
After all, the three Divine Domain elders had a lot of experience, and even if they found out that they had lost their divine skills, they calmed down and issued orders.
It would be deceptive not to be surprised by the fact that they had lost their magic, but what hope could they have but to hide their horror from their hearts?
If the Knights of the Divine Domain perceived the panic in the depths of their eyes, it would certainly not do any good.
"We have to find a way out of this damn place. The Elder of the Divine Domain opened his mouth, and after a moment he rediscovered his hoarse voice, which was no longer young, as if to enhance his persuasiveness, he repeated what he had just said, "Yes, we must find a way as soon as possible, otherwise"
Both the Temple of the Creator and the Holy Mountain itself will be nakedly exposed to the Sea God Domain Pope, and they will be the worst Divine Domain Elders and Knights in history to be nailed to the Pillar of Shame.
At the same time, the Ocean God Domain.
The two popes, who had not seen each other for many years, were wary of each other and rummaged in the temple of the Creator, but as a result, let alone the divinity of the sea, they did not even see the holy grail of the treasure.
At first, when they sensed each other outside the Ocean God Domain, they very unanimously retained the possibility that Titis VIII deliberately designed to unite with another person, and the corpses in the bottom chamber finally dispelled their concerns.
"I hope you've learned something, my old friend. ”
Deciding that it was pointless to continue the search, Claude VII took the initiative to find the Pope of the Sky Domain, Aurora XXI.
"Come on, Claude, as if you wanted me to acquire that sea divinity, don't we know what each other thinks?" Aurora sneered and rolled her eyes, "No, that's my answer. ”
"Your answer makes me feel much better, so my old friend, where do you think the divinity of the sea will be?
As soon as Titis VIII died, the three-legged balance of the three popes was completely broken, and whoever could take the lead in obtaining the sea divinity and absorbing the energy in it would be able to gain an overwhelming advantage and defeat the other pope.
It is not even impossible to combine the three divinities, break the upper limit of the strength of the plane, advance to an unprecedented realm, and enjoy the power of faith of an entire world from now on!
So don't look at Claude as an old friend, in fact, before Talos came to Terravi, there was no one who wanted Aurora or Dittis to die sooner than he did.
"With their second-order strength, they can't grasp a divinity in a short period of time, and if something like this really happens, it's impossible for us not to feel the aura leaking out. ”
Aurora flapped her golden feathered wings, her slightly furrowed brow making her look more aggressive and majestic than the average Harpy.
"So where does the divinity of the sea go? The Holy Grail can't disappear for no reason, unless"
"The Naga named Minos!"
The fact that the Naga body was not chosen in the Chamber of Secrets did puzzle the two Popes, but it was quickly overshadowed by the thirst for the divinity of the sea, and what waves could a Naga with only second-order strength make even if it was chosen by Titis to become a new dress.
It wasn't until they used all means to no avail that the two turned their eyes to Minos and considered the slim possibility.
"Hell!"
Just as Aurora was about to secretly collect some information about Minos, Claude VII suddenly cursed, and his face became very ugly.
"What's going on?" Aurora asked with a smile.
Claude gave Aurora a deep look and didn't answer, just now, he sensed the collapse of the Earth God Domain's belief and divine magic system.
The Holy Sword, the Holy Sword placed in the Temple of the Creator of the Holy Mountain, was taken!
First the Sea Domain, then the Earth Domain, and with the death of Titis VIII, Claude was keenly aware that he might be in a trap.
"Okay, but remember, I'm still there no matter what happens. Aurora wasn't going to let go of the opportunity to taunt Claude, "After all, I'm your old friend. ”
"Hmph!" Claude finally snorted coldly, and swam past Aurora, quickly disappearing from her vision.
The Pope of the Sky Divine Domain spread out a pair of wings, and now she was only curious in her heart, and the information revealed by Claude's direct departure from the Sea Divinity was too obvious.
There must have been a very serious change in the Earth God Domain, so serious that even the sea divinity had to be temporarily put back.
Maybe she should check it out.
Seven days later, Aurora was about three minutes behind Claude to the Holy Mountain, and saw a battle in the distance, a battle between Claude and a four-armed Naga.
The Harpy's superior eyesight allowed Aurora to see Claude ascend the sacred mountain very clearly, ignoring the other knights of the Domain, and strangely enough, during this period, none of the elders or knights of the Domain stepped forward to greet Claude, the Pope, and rushed directly into the Temple of the Creator.
Rumble!
The quaint marble stone door shattered, and terrifying sword light rushed out from the inside of the temple, enveloping Claude in the blink of an eye.
Combat Specialty, Dual Weapon Combat!
Combat Specialty, Multiple Strikes!
Due to the limited time, after subduing the knights of the Earth Domain, Talos stayed in the Temple of the Creator while sucking the Holy Sword and increasing his strength, while learning combat specialties and slandering Claude and Aurora by the way.
Escalating dual-weapon combat to multi-weapon combat, using the interaction between the four arms to exert a terrifying effect similar to a two-player combo may be the first choice of all Naga high-level bloodline knights.
However, reality does not leave Talos with a lot of time, and multi-weapon combat is obviously not something that can be learned in a moment, even if Naga already has a good talent and advantage in this area.
After weighing it up, Talos finally set his sights on a combat specialty that he should have learned at the second order, multiple strikes.
With the strength of the third order and the combat experience accumulated by the Pope of the Sea God Domain over the years, it only took Talos less than five days to fully master it.
At this time, he lay in ambush and waited for Claude VII to return from the Ocean God Domain in a frightened and angry manner, and the effect was immediately obtained.
Clusters of sword light burst out, engulfing Claude like a whirlpool, and other third-order masters were afraid that they would have to end up being dismantled in the face of Talos's long-planned blow, but his opponent this time was extraordinary, a holder of the divinity of the earth.
Dangdang!
Sure enough, at the critical moment, a layer of yellow light emerged from Claude's body, resisting the sneak attack from Talos.
When the surging sword light struck Claude twice in the chest, not a single blood splattered out, and it was not until the third slash in the same place granted by the multiple attacks finally cut a deep wound on the chest of the white-bearded and white-haired pope.
With a successful move, Talos took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the tail that had grown to nine supported his body to the maximum height, and the four froststeel scimitars were raised high, and they slashed at Claude again.
If the combined attack of the dual-weapon battle and multiple strikes just now was a sudden storm that made it impossible for people to dodge, at this moment, with the help of a sufficient height difference, the heavy split was Mount Tai overpowered, and it was completely won by strength.
Bang!
The ground trembled slightly, and the mud and stone continued to rise from the ground under the control of the earth's divinity, and in the blink of an eye, a stone wall was formed, separating the sword light from Claude.
Rumble!
The stones were splashed, and the sword light broke through the stone wall without any suspense, like four poisonous snakes chasing and beating fiercely, biting tightly behind them and chasing them out.
Blocked by a stone wall, Claude, who was suddenly attacked, walked out of his years of pampering and began his counterattack.
Rows of sharp ground thorns poured out from the ground one after another, each as sharp as a dagger stuck upside down on the ground, densely packed and changing the terrain.
The terrain was extremely unfriendly to Naga, as Talos was advancing too fast for his tail to dodge being stabbed by a ground thorn, scraping off the scales and stabbing into the snake's tail.
"Claude, in front of the Creator, still don't admit your great sin!"
The glare of the sword vanished, and an awkwardly longsword appeared in Talos's hand, tossed at Aurora, who had just arrived at the Holy Mountain, before Claude VII could speak.
Golden wings, there is only one person in the world with such an image, obviously the Pope of the Sky God Domain.
"That's ...... Holy Sword!"
Avrola looked at the long sword that reflected a slight halo of colorful light in the sunlight, and with a boost of energy, a whirlwind was born out of thin air and rolled towards the holy sword that was being thrown at him.
Claude VII didn't have time to think much about the meaning of Talos's words, and grabbed the holy sword.
In any case, the Holy Sword must be retrieved, and as long as the treasure remains, Claude can re-establish the system of faith and magic, and he will remain the supreme pope.
The familiar touch of the hilt was once again generated in the palm of the hand, and the two popes used their own means, and after all, it was Claude who took the lead and took the holy sword back.
At the same time, as many as twenty-four tiny balls of dim and cloudy light attached to the sword merged into Claude's right hand before he could react. 2k reading web
