Chapter 36: Holding Hands
"Founder of the Society of Truth, are you...... Are you the prophet Judas?" Christina looked at Mukasha with fear in her shocked eyes, "How is this possible?
"Nothing is impossible. The so-called 'prophet' whom your Truth Society has always revered is not dead at all. Have you ever wondered if Judas's intention in founding the Truth Society was exactly what he had preached: to welcome back Lucifer, the leader of the angels who had fallen into the Devil's Realm?" said the Lich King grimly, "that was just a high-sounding reason, and after all, he just wanted to continue to exist in this world. For thousands of years, Judas continued to survive by selecting the right one among his followers and then occupying his existence, alternating in countless different identities. ”
"Isn't it the holy relics of the popes in the coffin that kept Judas alive?" asked Sophia.
"Yes, the holy relics in the Holy Spirit were the source of energy that kept Judas alive and powerful, but it was not the only reason for his longevity. I know you are great at destroying the coffin, but you can't destroy Judas at the root. As long as there were one believer in the Truth Society in the world, Judas would be able to continue to live. The Lich King looked at Sophia, nodded, and continued, "But, then again, it was precisely because you destroyed the Holy Coffin that it was impossible for Judas to continue to occupy other people's existence flawlessly. At this point, the Lich King looked at Mukasha again, "According to my investigation, Mukasha, as a priest in the Council of Cardinals, contracted an incurable lung disease, and saw his life shorten day by day, and in desperation he was rebelled and absorbed by the Society of Truth. You have abandoned the old and useless identity of Meril Legar and taken possession of Mukasha's existence, but at the same time you have inherited Mukasha's flaws. The incessant coughing is proof that you have the same lung disease as the real Mukasha, and your life is getting shorter and shorter. ”
Mukasha's face turned pale, and it was clear that the Lich King's words made him feel very unpleasant.
"Remind you, little girl over there. This time, the Lich King's address was changed to Christina, who was next to Mukasha, "Get out of the Truth Society as soon as possible, while you still have a chance." I am afraid that Judas will soon be no longer able to use the identity of 'Muqasha', and he is anxiously searching for the next most suitable follower of the Truth Order, and then to occupy its existence. And you, little girl, will be one of the very suitable candidates. ”
"No, no......" Christina began to tremble a little.
"Clever tongues, but in fact, sowing discord, Lich King. As the heir of the Pope, you betrayed your faith and indirectly triggered the Poseidon invasion and the Demon War. You are not qualified to lecture others. Mukasha sarcastically said.
"In what capacity do you come to comment on my faith? Is it Judas, the creator of the Society of Truth, or is it my mentor, Grand Cardinal Gregory, 2000 years ago? If it weren't for your betrayal, there would not have been the current Lich King Callowe, and if it weren't for your deliberate use of evil intentions from the beginning, there would have been no later demon war!" Speaking of this, the Lich King's face froze, and his eyes began to become terrifying, "Enough, Gregory, since we have met today, how about the 2,000-year account between you and me start to be settled?"
"Hey, hey, hey...... cough cough cough ......"
The Lich King's words made Mukasha laugh, an eerie, dry laugh that sent a creep until an uncontrollable cough interrupted it.
The first person who couldn't stand it was Christina, the closest to Mukasha. She seemed to be in a hurry to show her abilities or the value of her existence, and without waiting for Mukasha's command, she would raise her magic pole and quickly chant a spell, summoning a bolt of lightning that struck Sophia!
On the other side, "Rainy Night Ripper" Emilia also took action. She has never been a person who likes to talk to her, only the rusty kitchen knife in her hand and the "spurt" sound of blood slashing into her neck are the guidelines that guide her actions.
Sophia and Owen, who were caught between two sides, also responded immediately. The two of them were still holding hands with half a handkerchief, but they switched places with each other. Sophia raised the round shield in her hand and blocked Amelia's kitchen knife that was slashing down, and the impact of two powerful forces caused the ground to crack, while Owen raised his right hand up at will and slapped the lightning falling from the sky, his hand was not scorched by the lightning, but destroyed the magic structure of the lightning at the moment of contact, and the lightning magic disintegrated, turning into the original qi element and dissipating into the air.
"W-What? Is he a monster?!" Christina took two steps back in fright, she had never seen or heard of anyone being able to destroy magic with her bare hands, and even in her common sense, it was an impossible fallacy.
"Follow me!" Emilia, caught in the wrestling, gave orders to Sophia in an irrefutable tone.
"Don't think!" Sophia, who was holding a shield in one hand, was very resolute in her attitude, although she could not repel Emilia for the time being.
Owen took the opportunity to bully him and kicked Emilia in the head. Emilia dodged sideways, but this caused her to loosen the force she had applied to the kitchen knife. Sophia screamed "oops" and knocked Emilia away with her shield.
"Up. ”
Mukasha's fingers flicked forward, and the two werewolves who had completed their transformation struck at Sophia one left and one right, while the other two werewolves, who were still in their human form, also immediately transformed and rushed towards Owen from the front, preventing Owen from supporting Sophia.
Several black energy balls suddenly flew out of the surrounding cold fog, trapping the four evil wolves who rushed over, and on the ground beside the evil wolf, Bai Sensen's human bones "grew" and turned into a cage of white bones to trap the evil wolf in it.
As one of the three giants of the undead, the Lich King Callowe, since he dared to venture into danger, he naturally had a perfect plan. He brought not only one "Rainy Night Ripper", but also an unknown number of elite necromancers hiding in the village. Compared to the strong, ferocious werewolves, those necromancers who are not good at melee combat do not appear, and their whereabouts are hidden, which is even more difficult to prevent.
Although the necromancer's intervention prevented the werewolves from raiding Owen and Sophia, it did not mean that the situation had changed for the two of them. Emilia devoured the ball of dark energy, and when she slashed the kitchen knife for the second time, Sophia, who was armed with a Valkyrie, couldn't resist it, if it weren't for the full help of Owen behind her, I'm afraid that this would make Sophia be sent flying more than ten meters.
The bone cage could not trap the powerful werewolf for long, and in less than a few seconds, the werewolf used brute force and fangs to bite the cage, rushed out of it, and continued to pounce on its original target.
Now Sophia's situation is not optimistic, she has used the "Valkyrie's Soul" three times in a short period of time, which has greatly reduced the durability of this artifact, even if Sophia's physical strength and magic power are still abundant, but she knows that the "Valkyrie's Soul" will soon be lifted by itself.
However, Owen behind her made her feel extremely reassured.
It's been delayed enough time. Owen looked at Sophia and smiled shallowly, as if to ask, "Are you ready?" and Sophia nodded firmly. The hands of the two are still holding each other, and even if they are attacked from both sides, they will not relax because of this.
