Chapter 56 of the Finale: The Spear of Longinus
Christina's order soon spread throughout the papal palace.
Although there are only 12 high-ranking members who are eligible to participate in the "grand ceremony", it does not mean that there are no other members of the Truth Society in the papal palace. Don't look at the emptiness of the papal palace, in fact, in many secret rooms and alley corners, there are many middle and lower members of the Truth Society on standby, after receiving Christina's order, they immediately chased and intercepted Owen who broke into it alone like a bat leaving the nest.
These middle- and lower-level members of the Order of Truth who stayed in the Pope's palace were all combatants, whether they were mainly magical, combat-oriented, or good at using props and weapons, and their combat literacy was extremely high.
The Truth Society does not need to deliberately cultivate its own combat troops, they have been hidden in the Central Church for a long time, hidden in the royal families, armies, and nobles of various countries, and hidden in the mercenary groups, guilds, and chambers of commerce of the people.
In stairwells, corridors, exhibition halls, prayer rooms, dormitories...... Wherever Owen passed, he would be intercepted and attacked. Owen fought back with his fighting skills, telekinesis, and stolen weapons, and he showed no mercy or mercy for these Truth Society combatants, and he would kill his enemies without sparing any chance at the slightest opportunity. Although those fighters have extremely high combat qualities, none of them pose a mortal threat to Owen, but these guys continue to pour out, which also greatly delays the progress of Owen's operation.
Even though more than 20 lives had been paid, the combatants still rushed out and pounced on Owen without fear of death. If it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that until tomorrow night, Owen will not be able to come to Julian, who is close at hand.
However, this embarrassing situation did not last long.
"Boom ......"
With a loud bang, the entire papal palace shook. Owen, who was fighting with six Truth Society combatants in a narrow spiral staircase, immediately pushed forward with both hands and knocked away the two Truth Society combatants in front of him, and slapped his left hand on the staircase wall, shattering the telekinesis in an instant, and the blue brick wall turned into powder, and a hole appeared that could allow one person to pass through.
A nimble Owen leaped out of the hole and landed in a hallway on the next floor, and the next second the entire spiral staircase collapsed, burying six Truth Society combatants alive by countless rubble.
The loud noise and strong concussions that Owen felt seemed to be the result of some direct attack on the Papal Palace from the outside, and it had caused considerable damage. But the Papal Palace itself is an impregnable fortress that can withstand the attack of 10 dragons for at least 15 minutes, so what kind of weapon can wreak such havoc on the Papal Palace with a single blow?
At this time, Owen didn't have the heart to guess what kind of weapon it was, he only knew that such a drastic change was enough for him. Before the surviving Truth fighters can shake themselves out of the chaos and find him, Owen has plenty of time to find Julian's location.
A few minutes ago.
Narrow mountain road of the Holy Mountain.
The mighty warriors of God still blocked the way up the mountain, but that didn't mean that Sophia couldn't do anything about the enemies hiding in the Pope's Palace. It was only after learning that the Truth Society was desecrating the Shroud of the Holy Spirit that she decided not to retain her strength anymore
"It's time to teach those who have unforgivable sins a lesson!" Sophia said to Filizak, who was beside her.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Filizak was also a little curious.
Sophia didn't answer right away. She turned and walked straight to the back of the priest's phalanx, pulling out the long object she had stuck on the ground. Then Sophia tore off the burlap that had wrapped around her.
Felizak was a little disappointed, for what he saw was a spear of a simple style, with a wooden handle and a black iron head, which looked extremely ordinary and indestructive.
However, this first impression only lasted for 2 seconds, and soon Felizak could feel a mysterious power coming from the wooden-handled iron-headed spear, which made him feel the urge to bow and worship.
Suddenly, Felizak seemed to remember that he had seen such a similar illustrated book of a spear in the texts of the Holy Light Cult before. Felizak said in disbelief, "Is this ...... Lang, Longi......"
"That's right, it's the Spear of Longinus. Sophia said the full name of the spear for Filizak.
The spear of Longinus, some say it is a magic spear because it killed the "Holy Master" Messiah, but it is also a holy spear, because the moment it pierces the heart of the Messiah, the Holy Blood of the "Holy Master" is soaked in the spear, and it is blessed with an extremely powerful divine power. In the end, the "Spear of Longinus", along with the "Shroud of the Holy Spirit" and the "Cross of Truth", became the three major religious relics of the Holy Light Sect.
Although the body of the spear is made of the most ordinary oak, it has been hardened by the baptism of holy blood, and no weapon can easily break it, and the material of the spear head is no more than rough cast iron, but it can easily pierce all evil things!
Legend has it that the "Spear of Longinus" was lost after the Demon War, and it was missing, but I didn't expect it to be kept in the hands of the Radiant Saintess. No, the long-term keeper of the "Spear of Longinus" is not the Holy Maiden, but the former Lich King Calloving, who has just fallen! As the former heir of the Pope, Howard, it is not difficult for the Lich King Callovin to take the "Spear of Longinus" away from the Papal Palace.
Two thousand years ago, the Demon Legion destroyed the Cross of Truth, and two thousand years later, the Devil's followers enslaved the Shroud of the Holy Spirit. Relatively speaking, it was fortunate that the "Spear of Longinus" was taken away by Karlovin, which also allowed this relic to avoid the disaster that happened to the other two relics. The Lich King Callovin passed the "Spear of Longinus" to Sophia so that she could see the light of day and punish her sins!
The three holy relics are interconnected, and the reason why Sophia can feel the unwillingness and anger when the "Shroud of the Holy Spirit" suffers is that the "Spear of Longinus" passed on to her, and Sophia must not let such a crime continue no matter what!
She closed her eyes and concentrated her mind to stimulate the "stigma" divine power in her body. After refining the Lich King Callowe's "Life Changing Ritual", the "stigma" divine power of her physical strength is purer and more handy. The stigmata appeared on Sophia's forehead, hands, and chest covered by clothes, and as the holy blood flowed out, Sophia's "stigmata" divine power gradually exerted its original ability.
In order to wield the Spear of Longinus as she pleases, Sophia must wield her Stigmata. Relying on the sense of the "Spear of Longinus", she locked her breath on the original chrysalis hidden in the hidden tower.
"The spear of Longinus?!How did it fall into the hands of that yellow-haired girl?" Christina, who was locked by her breath, was taken aback, and she hurriedly escaped backwards!
But it was too late. Sophia threw the holy spear in her hand in the direction of the breath lock.
Spanning a distance of several kilometers, the "Spear of Longinus" flew quickly, and with a loud "boom", it pierced the impregnable outer wall of the Papal Palace, and the hidden tower turned into powder in an instant, and the violent shock spread throughout the entire Papal Palace.
