Without hesitation, the fist was waved at "God's only spokesman on earth." Owen threw the punch with no anger or hatred in his heart. In order to avoid his mind being manipulated by the blood of the demon Satan, he must always suppress any negative feelings, at this time Owen's heart only has the thought of guarding Sophia, such a clear and simple thought, so that his fist is fast and crisp, without the slightest concern, not to mention a cardinal who lacks melee combat ability, even if a brave and warlike paladin stands in the Pope's position at this time, he may not be able to avoid Owen's fist.

However, the fist did not hit the Pope in the end, but stopped less than 1 millimeter away from the panicked old face.

Although the fist did not directly touch the Pope's face, the deterrence of the fist still made the Pope feel the pain of being oppressed. The Pope broke out in a cold sweat, and judging by his expression, it seemed that he didn't expect Owen to stop suddenly. However, Sophia couldn't see the Pope's expression at this time, she only saw Owen's stiffness like a stone statue, and thought that the Pope had used some spell on Owen, and exclaimed: "Owen!"

The Prince of Vampires didn't understand why Owen was stopping, but instead of making a fuss like Sophia, he took more direct action. His one arm stretched out to the side, and under the sense of magic power, the "endless sigh" automatically flew back into the Prince's hand, and the Prince swirled his heavy sword, jumped up and slashed at the Pope. The Vampire Prince knew that the Pope was scheming, and that he had many secret weapons accumulated by the Central Church for thousands of years, and it was no accident that he and Sophia were planted in the hands of this sect fox one after another, and if he was not killed while he was defenseless, he was afraid that other unexpected things would happen.

But the accident did happen. Owen not only did not hit the Pope hard, but suddenly hit the sword body of the "Endless Sigh" with a palm, deflecting the slashing trajectory of the heavy two-handed greatsword, and then his figure flashed, stopping the Pope, preventing the Vampire Prince from continuing to attack.

"What are you doing, get out of the way!" exclaimed the Vampire Prince. Although he didn't know why Owen suddenly saved the Pope, he could see that Owen's eyes were quite calm at this time, and it was impossible for him to be accused of being conscious.

Owen shook his head resolutely.

"Then I'll even split you together. The Prince warned coldly.

The Prince's sword slowly raised, and judging from the fierce murderous aura emanating from his body, he would definitely not show mercy to his subordinates because the obstructor was Owen.

However, Owen still did not take a step back, and he also proved his determination with his actions.

"No!" Sophia was worried that the prince would really cut down with a sword, so she hurriedly rushed to Owen's side and grabbed Owen's hand worriedly, "Owen, what happened to you?"

"I ...... You can't do anything to someone who looks like Uncle Mercone. Owen slowly turned his head and looked at the stunned Pope, "At least until I ask." ”

Due to the bright and dark lighting conditions in the Holy Spirit, and the fierce battle in the midst of a fierce battle, Owen could not see the Pope's face clearly, but after close contact with the Pope just now, Owen finally saw that the face was 90% similar to the person he respected the most.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you, what do you have to do with Uncle Mercone, no, and Paternin McMahon?" Owen asked the Pope about his doubts.

At this time, Sophia finally knew why Owen suddenly showed mercy and blocked the bloodsucking prince. No wonder she had a sense of déjà vu when she saw this old man, and after Owen mentioned this, she remembered that in the village of Serre, a paladin disguised as a village doctor stepped forward to help Uncle John repel the pursuers of the Central Church, and this paladin is now a neighbor of Uncle John, and seeing the Pope's appearance at this time is simply an old version of the paladin.

Hearing the name "Putnin McMahon", the Pope shuddered and asked in disbelief: "You, how did you know about Puternin?"

Suspicious, the Pope's gaze fixed on Owen, who had a subtle feeling for the young man he had never met since he appeared, and now he began to understand what that feeling was.

"Who are you, kid?" the Pope did not answer Owen's question, but asked instead, "Why do you have his breath on you?"

"He?" the prince frowned.

"Thirteen years ago, Puternin sacrificed himself in a small village in the kingdom of Pole to save a little boy. If you have the smell of Paternin in you, could it be that you are the little boy you were back then?" the Pope asked Owen, a teardrop of surprise from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that Owen did not answer for a long time, the Pope asked loudly: "Say, is it you, the murderer who killed my son?"

"Son?"

Not only Owen and Sophia, but even the Prince of Vampire was shocked.

Uncle Merconay, Putnnin McMahon, turned out to be the Pope's son?

There's nothing more difficult to accept than to hear this. But apart from this answer, how to explain the Pope's striking resemblance to Paternin's appearance? Sophia felt Owen's body trembling slightly, and she hurriedly grabbed Owen's hand.

"Sure enough, it's you! sure enough, it's you!" Owen's stunned expression was already the best answer, the Pope pressed Owen step by step, asking in a resentful tone, but Owen was forced by him to step back, and the situation of the two seemed to be reversed in an instant.

"Why? Why did you kill my son?" the Pope gripped Owen by the collar and roared loudly, tears on his wrinkled face.

At this time, Frio I was no longer a stern and rigid pope, but a father who had lost his child. The feelings he revealed at that moment were so sincere, and he suppressed them in his heart for many years, and then they completely erupted without any restraint.

The Pope's affection not only infected Owen and Sophia, but also the cold-blooded and ruthless bloodsucking prince. The prince is also a father, but at this time, he seems to resonate with the Pope, who has also lost his beloved son, puts down the sword in his hand, reaches into his arms, and caresses the cloth bag containing the ashes. Even though thousands of years have passed, that feeling will not disappear.

"The murderer of Puternin is none other than you!" a delicate female voice sounded at the entrance of the Holy Coffin, interrupting the Pope's crying and resentment.

"Teacher Anqi, are you ...... Why are you here?" Sophia would never have mistaken the voice, nor would she fail to recognize the figure.

A simple white priest's robe fluttered up, and a veiled female priest appeared at the door of the closed Holy Spirit coffin in a dignified standing, calmly watching the crowd present.

"Are you the Holy Maiden of Radiance?" the Pope gradually calmed down, and he roughly deduced her identity from Sophia's name for the masked priestess.

That's right. Appearing in front of everyone was Sophia's teacher, the current Radiant Saintess - St. Angel. However, at this time, she should be fighting in the underworld with several other masters, and Sophia really couldn't understand why her mentor was here.

"It turns out that there is such a place as a 'Holy Coffin'. Although Paternin had mentioned the coffin to me, I wouldn't have believed it unless I had seen it with my own eyes. St. Angel looked around the whole territory of the "Holy Coffin", and her tone was filled with emotion.

"Radiant Saintess, what are you doing here?" said Frio I, wiping away tears, and shouted angrily at St. Angel. At this point he has been restored to the high Pope.

The Pope's greatest enemies are not vampires or necromancers, disobedient secular monarchs like Duris, atheists of the Snowy Federation, not demons in another world, but saints from within the Holy Camp. At this time, the Holy Maiden of Radiance actually returned to the Pope's palace in a panic, how could the Pope not be nervous?

"Have you ever wondered why Pathening had to run away after he was the Pope's illegitimate son?" asked the Holy Maiden of Radiance in a calm tone.

"He was deceived by you wicked people. I really shouldn't have sent Puternin to the Demon Continent alone. You made him rebel against the light, forsake his father, and finally cost him his life. No matter what the price, I will surely let the six of you die without a place to be buried and avenge my son!" the Pope stared at St. Angel with a fierce gaze.

In his opinion, Pathening, who grew up under the influence of the church and devoted himself to cultivation, chose to defect without hesitation, completely poisoned by several old friends he met during the journey to find the "Secret Key of the Star" in the Demon Continent. If it weren't for that, Puternin might now be the new pope.

"No! Paternin never forsaken his father, Sir McMahon, his adoptive father, or his biological father, you, as Pope. After he left the Holy See, he was always thinking about you and wanted to know you one day. ”

"Nonsense!

"Puternin has told me more than once that although his father has gone astray and done many unconscionable things, he still hopes that his father will one day come to his senses and turn back. This was also Paternin's only wish during his lifetime. ”

"Shut up!"

"Why did you ask me why I'm here? ”

St. Angel took out a scepter from her priest's robes – the "Priesthood Scepter" that she and several old friends had taken from ogre territory at the risk of death last year.
