Chapter 53 of the Finale: The Three Great Artifacts of the Holy Light Sect

The strange noise at the gate startled Joika, who was thinking about how to find the other eagle's nest.

Not only Joika, but all the soldiers from the Pole Kingdom also felt a palpitation after hearing this strange noise.

It's too familiar, it's too disgusting! On the day of the fall of the Great Monarch, none of the soldiers of the Bole Kingdom who participated in the Battle of Hansha City could not be deeply impressed by this strange noise.

The head-numbing monster has reappeared!

Inside the huge sinkhole that appeared in front of the city gate, a huge human head tree rose from the ground, and the three human faces on the pole were exaggeratedly twisted, representing three different emotions, and countless branches interspersed and wrapped around the bodies of the dwarven warriors and flamingos who had fallen into the pit, lifting them high as if shouting and demonstrating to Spiruk and the other dwarven warriors who had not fallen into the pit.

The terrible thing is that there is not only one sinkhole, but five sinkholes have collapsed on the ground around the city gate, and five human head trees have grown out of the sinkhole, and fifteen terrifying strange faces are chilling.

Since the Human Head Tree is a monster cultivated by the Truth Society, it is only a matter of time before it appears on the battlefield, and when the army of the Bole Kingdom was engaged in siege warfare at the city gate before, the Human Head Tree did not appear for a long time, just to wait for a more suitable time and a more suitable opponent. Keep thousands of dwarven cavalry out of the Holy City—that's the only mission the Truth Society has given to the Five Heads of Trees!

Because the dwarven warriors were wearing sophisticated Mithril alloy armor, their bodies were not pierced by the branches and vines that grew from the human head tree like the flamingos, but as the branches and vines wrapped around their bodies tightened more and more, and the dwarven warriors were unable to exert their great strength due to the limited joints, it seemed only a matter of time before the branches and vines of the human head tree were squeezed into meat sauce.

"Use fire!" Spiruk ordered.

Fire is the most familiar element of the dwarves, and fire is the nemesis of wood. Therefore, Spyruk's decision to order a fire attack was undoubtedly the most correct decision.

However, they had missed the perfect time to carry out the fire attack.

The pollen with the three negative emotions of madness, anger, and sadness spread out from the fifteen human faces embedded in the five human head trees, like overlapping energy shockwaves, spreading outward in circles and circles.

Forced implantation of negative emotions is the most terrifying means of mental attack of the head tree. Outside the city of Hansar that day, a single human head tree almost caused the entire human army to lose control of their emotions. Although the dwarves are far more resistant to magic than humans, they inevitably fall into a state of emotional breakdown after inhaling a large amount of pollen released by the five human head trees at the same time.

Crazy laughter, inexplicable anger, and terrible sadness suddenly enveloped all the dwarven warriors who were still alive, and they could not even control their actions, let alone continue the battle or carry out Spiruk's orders.

Except, of course, Spiruk Iron Furnace, who is the only person present who can still remain rational, thanks to his personal cultivation and more powerful equipment than the others, especially the two-horned Mithril helmet he wears, which is a magical armor that can resist mental attacks to a certain extent, but he can only hold it up - Spiruk has no idea that the real threat is those colorless and odorless pollen, so he should not use fire at this time, but water. Pouring a lot of water into the air to dilute the pollen in the air is the most appropriate way to deal with it.

However, Spiruk didn't know that the problem was the pollen, so he could only hold on to the heavier and heavier mental pressure, bless the flames on his battle axe, and hit the head trees hard, trying to destroy the head trees as quickly as possible and save the people who were being controlled.

However, while he was able to burn or cut down some of the vines, he was far from keeping up with the speed at which the vines could regenerate and pose a real threat to the Humanhead Tree.

To make matters worse, Spiruk's vigorous exercise accelerated the rate at which he inhaled airborne pollen, and once the forced negative emotions were implanted beyond the limits of what he could tolerate with his personal cultivation and double-horned helmet, it was only a matter of time before Spiruk was manipulated by the head tree like the rest of his compatriots.

There were other main forces of the dwarven clan coming towards this side, and Spiruk was determined to destroy those human head trees by himself, and he actually forgot to remind his compatriots behind him that the thousands of main forces of the dwarf clan were trapped under the spiritual attack of the human head tree and could not get rid of it.

At this time, inside the Papal Palace, the Truth Society, which controls the entire Pope's Palace, and Christina's greatest concern is not the large number of external enemies outside. In Christina's eyes, those so-called crusades against the coalition are just waste in the mantis arm blocking the car, and to eliminate them, she has hole cards to play. And what makes Christina restless at this time is the worry from within.

As Sophia used the power of the Radiant Maiden and the Scepter of Miracles to forcibly remove Sixtus from the papal throne, Christina's entire plan was disrupted. In order for the "festival" to go smoothly, Christina must get Julian to accept a temporary oracle contract as soon as possible before the eclipse comes, making him a substitute for the pope.

However, even a temporary oracle contract is not something that anyone can conclude, and in order for Julian to become pope as soon as possible, she must rely on the help of a foreign object - it must be one of the "three sacred relics of the Holy Illuminati".

The so-called "three holy relics" are actually three holy relics related to the life and death of the founder of the Holy Light Cult, the "Church Lord" Messiah, they are: the "Truth Cross", the torture instrument that nailed the "Church Lord" Messiah to make him torture, the "Spear of Longinus" that pierced the Messiah's heart and caused his death, and the "Holy Spirit Shroud" that wrapped the Messiah's body in the three days after his death and his resurrection.

Originally, the so-called "three holy relics" were just the most ordinary wooden torture instruments, a piece of hemp gray cloth, and a spear with an iron head with a wooden handle, but because they were soaked in the blood of the "Church Lord" Messiah, and witnessed the life and death of the "Savior", these three ordinary mortal objects were blessed with extremely powerful divine power and became the treasures of the Holy Light Sect, which were passed down from generation to generation under the dedicated custody of the successive popes and the Cardinals.

However, it was not until 2,000 years ago that due to the outbreak of the "Demon War", there was a great omission in the preservation of the three holy relics.

The "Cross of Truth" has been confirmed to have been destroyed by demonic attacks, leaving only a little wooden coffin, the "Spear of Longinus" was unaccounted for after the end of the war, and no one knows its whereabouts, and only the "Shroud of the Holy Spirit" survived and has been safely kept by the Central Church to this day.

At present, the Truth Society has completely manipulated the Pope's Palace, but they have not dared to touch the shroud, because the "savior" blood deeply stained on the shroud is undoubtedly a poison for the members of the Truth Society, but now, in order to make Julian become the pope in the shortest possible time, those high-ranking members of the Truth Church can no longer control so much.

After paying the heavy price of four dead, two seriously wounded, and six moderately and lightly wounded, the twelve high-ranking officials finally brought the "Shroud of the Holy Spirit" to Julian, and successfully channeled the powerful divine power hidden inside the shroud.
