Once a life-and-death battle, the enemy would sacrifice his life to save him, but can the Pope's self-sacrifice really reverse Sophia's crisis?

"What a disobedient puppet. He thought that if he sought death, he would be able to get rid of my control, which was simply foolish. The restored Meritgar appeared behind Sophia and Owen holding her.

"Wait. Before I get my hands dirty, I'm going to ask you a question. Although he knew that the enemy had raised his deadly knife behind his back, Owen calmed down.

"If you have any last words, say it quickly. ”

"I know 'Meritgar' is just one of the many names you've used, what is your real name?"

"Hmph! I thought you had something to ask. For those who are about to die, I have no need to answer at all. Meritgar ignored it and slashed down with a knife.

"Judas!"

The knife suddenly stopped in mid-air. "What did you say?" said Meritgar's entire body trembling slightly.

"Your real name is: Judas. The words you said earlier: 'Let me greet you, hug and kiss you in the midst of this sumptuous dinner.'" 'Behind the dinner was 30 silver coins, and the real purpose of asking for Ann was to betray. I'm right. ”

"Shut up!" a furious Merit Gar raised his fists and smashed them into Owen and Sophia's heads at the same time.

But his brief daze just now had missed the best opportunity to kill the two. The Vampire Prince lunged at him with his broken sword in hand, and Meritgar was forced to return and manipulate the gray force field to block the Prince's surprise attack, but also gave Owen plenty of time to perform high-speed footwork and lead Sophia out of the danger zone.

After stopping, Sophia couldn't help but ask, "Owen, what's going on, why is he Judas......?"

Sophia was not the only one who wanted to know the answer, but also St. Angel and the Vampire Prince. Those who are familiar with the Holy Book know that the Messiah once had a disciple named Judas, but this Judas betrayed the Messiah for 30 silver coins, and in front of the enemy, he hugged and kissed the Messiah to reveal his identity, and the Messiah was crucified, and finally killed by the magic spear "Longinus";

"That's right. Judas had committed suicide, but there is one thing that is not recorded in the Holy Book: Judas was the ancestor of the Society of Eternal Truth, an organization of believers who rebelled against the angel Lucifer. After Judas' death, the cultists took his remains, and after hundreds of years of research, they attempted to resurrect Judas, but eventually used part of the remains to create a clone of Judas. They gave this artificial life form the name, status, and mission of 'Judas'. Owen said something that even St. Angel didn't know.

"No!" Meritgar, who was resisting the attack of the Vampire Prince, was shaken by Owen's words, and the gray force field began to become unstable.

"Although you have been given the name of 'Judas', you are not the real Judas after all, you are nothing more than an artificial lifeform, you have no heart, no soul, just a flesh-and-blood puppet. Owen continued, "The person who created zào you came out, in order to give you human knowledge, feelings, and knowledge, fostered you as a baby in an ordinary couple's home. The couple couldn't have children, so they pampered you, you survived and grew up under their care, learned how to be a human being, learned human emotions such as joy, anger and sorrow. But that doesn't change your essence: a puppet, no matter how noble or powerful you are, is nothing more than a tool to accomplish your purpose. ”

"Say no more!" "Merit Gar roared, but he didn't notice that the gray force field had been broken through by the Vampire Prince, and he himself was slashed several meters away by the broken sword, but at the same time, the gray force field that counterattacked also hit the Prince hard.

But Owen turned a deaf ear to Meritgar's wrath and was right: "But when you were 16 years old, the 'mission' that had been sealed in your mind awakened and gave you the first mission: to kill your adoptive parents. Because they have lost their usefulness. You hesitated for a moment, but in the end you faithfully carried out your mission. Even if you cry afterwards, you can't resist turning down your 'mission'. Because even if you feel sadness and regret, it is a human feeling that must be learned, and in order to bring yourself closer to a real human being, all human grief must be experienced. ”

"How do you know these things?" The intense emotional fluctuations had distorted Meritgar's facial features into a terrifying pattern. Regarding his adoptive parents, not to mention outsiders, even the history of the Truth Society has been deleted.

"That's what I see from your head. Owen smiled slyly, "Didn't you count the battles just now? I just launched telekinetic attacks on you four times, and two times directly touched your body. That's how your memories are read by me. ”

"This can't be! How can you easily read my memory?"

"Because you are a doll without a heart and a soul, your brain is nothing more than a container for memories, and it is easier to read your memories than it is to read the memories of an ordinary human. ”

"No! it's not really ......"

"Are you scared? Actually, 'fear' is also an emotion that human beings must learn -- 'mission' tells you so. I feel sorry for you. Do you know why you are afraid of the 'Stigmata'? Because although Judas betrayed the Messiah for money, he still had reverence for the Messiah until the end, and it was this reverence that made him choose to commit suicide to apologize, and you, as a clone of Judas, will become fearful, sad, and lose your strength in the face of the 'stigma' from the Messiah. But when you were created and came out, you were not told by the 'mission' to have reverence, and all you were left with was the fear of the Messiah, although you have the memory of Judah's reverence for the Messiah, but you don't know how to revere it, it should be said that it is the 'mission' that has stripped your reverence. You think you've manipulated the Holy See, controlled the whole world, and covered the sky with one hand, but you're a poor puppet who has been manipulated, and you don't even have the qualifications to die. "The words of the European script are like needles, piercing the sore spot of Meritgar.

"Ha, haha, hahahaha......" Meritgar, who had been exposed, laughed out loud, "What if you read my memories? What if you know my real name? Yes, the 'Stigmata' is indeed my only nemesis, but now that this 'Stigmata' has lost her 'Stigmata', what else do I have to fear? You can't do anything!"

"No, you're wrong. St. Angel had risen from her wounds, her right hand still bleeding, but her left hand clutching the cleric staff that was emitting holy light, "I have finally seen through your pact of compounding. Now that I know your real name, you've got the end of your tricks. ”

I need to explain. The source of Meritgar's longevity and powerful magic is the oracle pact of the popes who have been sleeping here. But the metaphorical contract can be transferred to another person with ordinary ** connection magic, so Meritgar used a secret technique called the compound contract, and made another metaphorical contract with himself on the pope who had already made the metaphorical contract, so as to obtain magic power. In order to obtain energy for a long time, Meritgar imprisoned the ** and souls of these popes, simulating the illusion that the pope is still alive, and if the corpse is destroyed or the soul returns to the god of light, then the pope's oracle contract will be automatically terminated. Therefore, in order to be able to safely preserve the Pope's body and the soul beads that imprisoned the soul, even though he knew that the power of the "stigma" was harmful to him, he still used materials infused with the power of the "stigma" to create these crystal coffins.

However, there is another way to take away the power of Meritgar without destroying the body or locking the soul orb, and that is to break the oracle contract between Meritgar and all the popes here, which can also be done with the priesthood staff, but Meritgar has no fear of this, because there is a prerequisite for a third party to break the contract, that is, the real name of the contractor must be known......

Shocked Meritgar calmed down, spread his hands, and said, "I didn't expect that in just a few dozen minutes, you could see through that I was using a compound contract, it seems that I underestimate you as a holy woman." But you still can't break my oracle contract, and don't forget that I can devour all the magic of light, and your godship has been useless to me from the start. ”

"There is a light that you can never swallow!"

Suddenly, St. Angel took the short sword with her badly wounded right hand and stabbed the edge of the sword into her heart.

"Teacher Angel (senior)!" Sophia and Owen called at the same time.

"Wow......" St. Angel, whose heart had been pierced, spat out a large mouthful of bloody arrows that stained her veil red, but she smiled, "This light is, the light of life......"

Sacrificial Technique - The secret technique mastered by the Radiant Maiden transforms her life force into light magic, even when her own magic has been exhausted or her magic is sealed, she can still use light magic, and it is far more powerful than usual.

A qiē that happened to the Pope not long ago is now reproduced in the body of Meritgar. The holy light emitted by the cleric staff surrounded Meritgar, and a magical circle with an intricate structure appeared at his feet.

"It's really impossible to devour? If you make a mistake, you still have this hand! But if you want to make a contract with more than a hundred popes, the magic power consumed will kill you. Merit Gar warned fiercely.

"It's okay, I'm ready to sacrifice. Saint-Angel didn't care, she stabbed her sword deeper into her heart.

At this time, Merit Gar could no longer calm down, he hurriedly ran away from the place, but the magic array under his feet and the holy light around him were like shadows, wherever he ran, the magic array and the holy light chased after him. Knowing that she had nowhere to run, Merit Garr rushed towards St. Angel, attempting to kill her caster before she could complete the ritual.

However, the Prince of Vampire held him back.

"Get out of here!"

Meritgar didn't know where she got the strange power, and she slammed the vampire prince to the ground with one palm. Owen decisively put down Sophia and dodged in front of Meritgar. However, Owen was unable to take advantage of anything, and his fist was easily caught by Merit Garr, who then dragged Owen up all over his body, slammed it over his head, and threw it the ground.

Hearing only a "bang", Owen was thrown to the ground hard, his right hand was dislocated, his body was fractured in multiple places, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nostrils, which caused him to be extremely seriously injured.

Knocking down Owen, but it doesn't mean that Meritgar is unimpeded, the vampire's special physique, which is far stronger than ordinary humans, plays an important role, and because there is no pain, the vampire prince can get up immediately no matter how many injuries he bears. The prince strangled Meritgar's neck tightly with one arm from behind, opened his mouth, revealing two canine teeth representing his blood status, and bit down on Meritgar's shoulder.

"Let it go, even if you suck my blood, you won't have enough power to stop me!" exasperated Meritgar exclaimed.

The vampire prince let the other party struggle, but he never moved. Meritgar suddenly realized that this was not a simple bloodsuck, for as his blood flowed into the Prince's mouth, he felt a mysterious magic flowing through his body.

"What are you doing?" Meritgar didn't know what the prince meant, but it was definitely not a good thing.

"My body is purified by thy blood, and thy holy blood washes thy body. The exchange of lives, the pact of blood, made in the dark, must not be broken!" The bloodsucking prince squeezed these words between his teeth.

First Hug - Meritgar finally understands what the vampire prince wants to do, and the human and the vampire exchange blood to turn the human into a vampire, which is a ritual for the vampire to develop a new member. However, Merit Garr wonders what the Vampire Prince's intention is to turn him into a vampire.

Owen saw that the Prince's eyes were aimed at him, and he immediately understood what the Prince was conveying with his eyes. Owen endured the pain in his body, rushed to the forgotten crystal sword, "Song of the Holy Cry", picked up the weapon, and rushed towards Meritgar.

"Stop!" Meritgar finally understood the true purpose of the Vampire Prince. The ritual of the first embrace is not to turn him into a vampire, but in the process of blood exchange, the recipient will temporarily change into a vampire's physique, regardless of whether the ritual is completed or not......

The crystal sword stabbed into Meritgar's abdomen before he could break free. The "law" imposed on the "Song of Sorrow" can seal the power, magic, and actions of any vampire who comes into contact with this sword, even if it is only a temporary vampire constitution.

This is called self-inflicted. In order to eliminate the vampire race, Meritgar instigated Pope Agnon VI more than a thousand years ago to create this weapon, but he didn't expect it to become a shackle to imprison himself.

The transparent angel of light has appeared from behind Meritgar, but the freedom of movement has been stripped away, and Meritgar has nothing to do, and roars in panic: "Sophia, stop her, are you just watching your teacher die?"

"Teacher!" Sophia stood up to save the teacher's life.

But as soon as she looked up, she saw St. Angel looking at her with kind eyes, and shook her head slowly.

"Teacher, I understand your intentions, but ......"

Sophia had no choice, she endured her grief, gritted her teeth, and tried not to see the scene.

The angel summoned by the staff of the priesthood, materialized, aimed at Meritgar's back and stabbed the spear down
