Despite many twists and turns, Sophia finally succeeded in slashing down the seven wolves besieging her. Death lifted the metamorphosis on its own, and looking at the naked corpse of a prisoner with a different body and a bloody drenched body, a heart-blocking sensation crept over her heart. Even though she knew that she had no choice, she thought that they had all been victims of persecution by the Holy See, and that most of them were probably innocently imprisoned, and now she had killed them all, what difference did this make with the juniper executioner of the Central Church? Sophia didn't know if this feeling of blockage was the so-called "guilt", but now was not the time to blame herself, and the battle was not over. Sophia shook her head, no longer looking at the dead bodies on the ground, forgetting the complicated feelings for a while.

On the other side, the battle between the vampire prince and the werewolf Luan, Sophia can't intervene, and she knows that the prince doesn't want her to interfere, and now she can only concentrate on finding the real enemy hidden in the shadows.

However, this enemy does not seem to have any intention of continuing to hide.

"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "Pap", ......

Pope Frio I clapped his hands one after another, and stepped out of his hiding place steadily: "Sure enough, I didn't disappoint, this is the power of the Stigmata." You must know that these 7 animals are not ordinary werewolves, all of them are candidates for werewolf leaders. ”

"You guy!" Sophia stared at the Pope, not daring to relax in the slightest.

In terms of personal strength, the current Sophia completely crushed the Pope, but she still had an indescribable tension in her heart. The guards had been completely wiped out, but this Sect Fox had calmly appeared, and Sophia did not dare to take it lightly based on this alone.

"As a 'Stigmata', since you don't want to use your own strength to serve the Light God, then contribute your Stigma!" "The Pope walked to a stop less than 20 meters away from Sophia, and he looked at Sophia with a strange look in his eyes.

Suddenly, Sophia felt the "Holy Cry of Sorrow" in her hand emitting an unusual energy fluctuation, and the entire sword seemed to tremble, shaking off the hot werewolf blood stained on the sword.

"Run!"

Sophia's mental tension was so high that it took a while for Sophia to figure out what message the soul trapped in the sword was trying to convey to her, but it was too late.

The 7 werewolf corpses around Sophia suddenly burst into violent magic fluctuations, pouring dazzling light from the cut off head, and the light emitted by each corpse was a different color, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, representing the seven colors of the rainbow The light fused together, turning into the white light closest to the sun's light, forming a white ball of light that instantly surrounded Sophia.

"What's going on?" Sophia, who was blinded by the shining white light, subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that her body seemed to be restrained by several forces of unknown origin, unable to move.

The scorching white ball of light only exists for 2 or 3 seconds, and the white light gradually dims and shrinks, turning into a humanoid white luminous body. Sophia was forcibly put on an armor of light and trapped in the center of the humanoid luminary. Above the 7 human-wolf corpses, 7 magic crystals floated, each emitting the same light as one of the seven colors of synthetic white light, and produced a pillar of light that connected to Sophia's body.

From the very beginning, the Pope did not think that the 7 werewolves alone could defeat Sophia, this was a trap at all, and the 7 werewolves were killed by Sophia It was also in the Pope's plan, they had implanted the magic crystal in their bodies beforehand, and only after Sophia killed them and released the body, the magic crystal broke out.

"Ahh

Those pillars of magic light seemed to be directly aimed at the "stigma" on her body, drawing the power from her "stigma" wound and transporting it into the seven magic crystals.

"Girl!" the Vampire Prince swung his sword to resist the werewolf leader Luan's series of claw blows, but seeing that Sophia was not in a good situation, he rushed out and called out to her.

But the extremely brief distraction made the prince show his flaws, and he was turned around and hit by Lu An's tail, and was knocked away with a "boom" and hit the wall.

"You, you......" Sophia struggled to move towards the Pope, but with every movement and step, she felt the strength in her body being drained faster and faster. Her whole body went limp, and she felt that the "stigma" divine power on her body had become a burden.

After absorbing Sophia's power, the seven magic crystals were integrated into the coffin's floor, walls, dome, and neatly arranged crystal coffin. Sophia's "stigmata" divine power was so great that the entire Holy Spirit Body resonated with this force, and even all the crystal coffins containing the Pope's holy relics were constantly shaking.

Looking at Sophia, who was angrily picking up her sword and struggling to approach her step by step, the Pope looked at her with disdain: "Don't move! Wait quietly for the end of the ceremony to be able to compensate you for the crime of betraying the gods." ”

"What ritual?" said Sophia, noticing the disturbing word.

"It seems that you, a half-'Stigmata', really don't know anything. The Pope sneered, and he calmly explained, "You should have heard that the First Pope and the First Radiant Saintess were the first two Stigmata to appear. Before the two of them died, there was a ritual to return the divine power of the 'stigma' to the god of light, and this ritual was called 'stigmata restoration'. Every stigmata who appears in later generations will consciously follow the practice of the first pope and the first saint of the year, and perform a ritual of restitution before leaving the world, returning divine power to God. ”

"Even I ......" Sophia was stunned for the first time when she heard that the Stigmata was to be returned to the God of Light before she died.

"That's right, what you're doing right now is the 'Stigmata Return' ritual that was tailor-made for you. "The Pope took the initiative to distance himself from Sophia, and before Sophia's "stigma" divine power was completely absorbed, he didn't want to get too close to her, so as to avoid the light magic on his body being sucked away, "Also. Originally, this place was not called the 'Holy Coffin', and it was not originally the burial place of the popes, but it was previously called the 'Confessional Chamber'. Starting from the first pope and the Holy Maiden, every stigmata will return the 'stigma' here, and most of their stigmata will be directly repaid to the God of Light, but there will still be a very small number of fragments of divine power remaining in the present world, and the goal of the construction of the 'Restoration Room' is to collect these fragments of divine power left in the present world and prevent them from circulating. Every brick and stone here, including the crystal coffin where the Pope is buried, contains a wealth of magical power, and these magic powers are transformed from the fragments of stigmata that remain in the present world after the stigmata were returned by the stigmata of the past generations. It is these energies that form the barrier that protects the Papal Palace and the Holy City. ”

The Pope's words also explained why the coffin and the crystal coffin were not damaged in the fierce battle between the vampire prince and Luan.

"I carry out God's will, and I cannot allow any 'stigma' to escape the control of the Holy See. I have been trying to bring you back to the Holy See for years, but at the same time, I have also considered what I should do if I am unable to bring you back, and you awaken the Stigmata on your own and appear to me as an enemy as you are now? So many years ago, I modified this coercive 'stigmata worship' ritual for you, Sophia Madan. You have to feel honored, don't continue to resist, you should know very well that you alone will never be able to resist the power of all the ancient stigmatas here. ”

"It turned out that I had thrown myself into the net. Sophia smiled wryly. But there is no regret about taking the medicine.

"If you want to be resentful, you will resent the stubborn king father. If he had taken the initiative to send you when you were born, he would not have had so many twists and turns. But he made the wrong choice of stubborn resistance. After saying that, the Pope ignored Sophia anymore, and felt that the divine power absorbed from Sophia's body was spreading out in circles, and then turned into magic power and was absorbed by the magic crystal, and the Pope showed a smile of joy that he had not seen for a long time. Today, not only can the vampire forces that have been enemies of the Holy See for many years be annihilated, but there is also an unexpected gain, thanks to the protection of the God of Light, and with such a huge power in Sophia's body, the final plan should be able to be implemented in advance.

In contrast to the Pope's smugness, the Vampire Prince was anxious. He thought about helping Sophia several times, because he knew that once the Pope obtained Sophia's "stigmata" power, there would probably be no one in the world who could stop this dangerous madman, but Luan pestered him so hard that the prince could not separate himself, and could only watch as Sophia's "stigmata" power was sucked away.

"Why do you want to give your life to this madman?" "The stronger the werewolf, the more he can maintain his sanity as a human after transforming, the vampire prince knows that although Luan is violent at this time, he is still conscious, he shouted to the giant wolf, "You werewolves are nothing but tools of the Pope, once the Pope's plan is successful, all of you will be eliminated!"

The giant wolf seemed to be shaken by the prince's words, and jumped back a step, his eyes full of mixed emotions. But this hesitation lasted less than a second, and the giant wolf flew towards the vampire prince again, biting furiously. From Lu An's crazy actions, the prince felt that this werewolf boy was not just following orders, but that there might be some kind of belief behind it.

On the other side, Sophia was hiding on her side, unable to move for half a minute. The forcibly absorbed divine power formed a flow of energy in her body, pressing on her nerves, and although she was very conscious and did not feel pain, Sophia already felt that her body was no longer her own.

"Phew!"

A magic crystal that was emitting blue light suddenly fell, and the blue magic light on the crystal disappeared without a trace, and a copper coin rolled on the floor next to the magic crystal for some distance.

"What happened?" finally it was the Pope's turn to be surprised, and such a turn of events was beyond his expectations.

Immediately after that, there were two more sounds, "Woo", "Woo", and the two fragments of red and yellow crystals were hit by some high-speed flying objects, broke away from their original positions, and fell to the ground one after another.

There was a crisp whistling sound in the air, and at this time, it was visible to the naked eye that there were 4 copper coins flying in mid-air, and they hit the remaining 4 magic block crystals one after another, knocking them out of place. When all 7 magic crystals hit the ground, the light disappeared and the "Stigmata Return" ceremony was suspended.

Before the Pope could be furious, a white shadow swept in front of his eyes, and with a "shabu" sound, Sophia fell to the ground away from her original position.

The two stopped on top of a crystal coffin. Sophia opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw that familiar face, she immediately felt extremely secure.

"I'm sorry. I'm late. The man who saved her said apologetically.

"No, thank you, Owen. She buried her head in his arms, relieved by the pain.
