Chapter 187: The Golden Theater

The house collapsed in the flames, and the small farm was in ruins. The young girl hid helplessly in the basement, holding the silver-white cross tightly in her hands, unaware of the deep wounds in her palms pierced by the sharp edges. She was the only living person on the entire farm, and the rest were cold corpses.

She is Sophia.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"If you leave now, maybe I will spare your life." The red-clothed Saber dragged the crimson strange long sword with both hands, and said kindly.

Sophia was silent, replacing her verbal answer with action. The twelve white wings behind her fluttered violently and flew high into the sky. Then, with a wave of the legendary sword in her hand, a surging holy fire burst from the blade, enveloping her in a curtain of fire in the blink of an eye.

"I understand, you have made a choice. It's just that...... Flames? Your flame is too young compared to me. ”

Crimson flames slowly emerged from the strange longsword, gradually evolving into a fire that boiled with joy. This flame is a fire that once burned a certain city, and it is already in the category of "legend" in itself. Strictly speaking, this flame is not weaker than the holy angel Ming Yan, because it is a demigod fire that can ignite the throne!

"Pagan, I am the messenger of the Lord, and the flame of the Lord will guard her followers, and nothing can hurt me! Demigod Fire is no exception! Sophia's voice was deep and solemn through the thick armor, not at all like the voice of a teenage girl. She summoned Gerda, the "guardian seraphim", with her life, and she would have to pay a huge price for it.

This is the truth of the world, and what you gain comes at a price.

Perhaps, the cost will go far beyond the ......

Sophia raised her sword, the blazing glare of the blazing holy white angel.

"You are the messenger of God, but I am the emperor of the world! The divine power will bow its head before the king's power, because the emperor is the god of the earth. O wretched life, may thy God save thy life. Saber in red said the back, sighing slightly. She had suppressed *** disciples before her death, but she didn't expect to fight them after becoming a Heroic Spirit.

"Death, arrogant infidels!" Sophia roared in a rage, dragging a long white flame tail like a meteor, and quickly fell towards the red-clothed Saber. For a devout believer, any insult to a god would make them a hundred times more angry than the harm they suffered.

The red-clothed saber held the sword in both hands, and the huge half-human-tall blade was crossed in front of his chest. Crimson flames danced around her, causing her body to loom in the flames.

A sneer erupted from the corner of Sophia's mouth. With the immense power generated by the Angel Flame and the rapid fall, could that Heroic Spirit think that the demigod fire and the long sword alone could stop it? It's ridiculous, it's disgusting! The emperors of the mortal world, who dare to retain such confidence in the face of divine might, will be punished by the gods!

It turned out to be much more than she expected.

Sophia felt like she had hit her head on hard rock, and the sheer force from her hand was so strong that she could barely hold her sword.

"Impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible, because I am the emperor, the emperor with the privileges of the emperor!"

The red-clothed saber looked quite relaxed, and the hand holding the sword didn't even shake. The reason is very simple, she is the same as the nine-tailed fox caster, and a certain attribute is unique EX. The EX attribute in front of Caster Tamamo is magic, and hers is power! When an attribute is ex, it proves that the Heroic Spirit is unmatched in this aspect.

Sophia gritted her teeth and rushed forward with her sword again. Since you can't match it in terms of strength, use the skill of swordsmanship to win! She didn't believe that the swordsmanship she had practiced for more than ten years would not be as good as a pampered emperor, even if this emperor was now a heroic spirit that surpassed the worldly people.

The Lord Almighty will bless her followers with victory, for I am a believer in the Lord, the most devout believer in the Lord!

How could the red-clothed saber not see what was going on in the heart of the angel in front of him. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she chuckled, "I said that I am a privileged emperor. Case...... Then I'll use my privilege once. With that, she dragged the big red sword and headed straight for Sophia.

The holy white flames collided with the crimson flames head-on, but they were intertwined like water.

The red-clothed saber completely suppressed Sophia with a single look, whether it was strength or swordsmanship!

"Do you understand? The emperor's privileges are not something that the gods can suppress! ”

Saber in red originally didn't have the skill of "swordsmanship", but now she has superb swordsmanship up to the A+++ level. It's all because of what she calls the "Emperor's Privilege", an EX-level retained skill! This skill allows the owner to have abilities that would otherwise be impossible, even those unique to other class servants. The most important thing is that all the abilities gained are all A+++ levels!

Sophia was completely suppressed by the red-clothed saber. If it weren't for the super defense of the Seraph's armor, I'm afraid she would have been dead for a long time. But even then, defeat was only a matter of time. After all, no matter how strong the defense is, there will be a day when it will be breached, not to mention that the time that the Seraphs will descend on her is not infinite.

"O Lord Almighty, why is this so? No, the Lord will never forsake the believers, and the Lord will never forsake me! ”

Yes, since the Lord saved me from the faith that I was not devout for, the Lord will never abandon me now!

The Lord is omnipotent, it must be that my strength is not enough, it must be that my faith is not pious enough!

Mom said that when you let go of your body and mind, you can feel the majesty of the Lord. Dad also said that only the most devout believers will be favored by the Lord!

O messenger of the Lord who lodges with me, I am willing to give my own **, my soul!

All for the Almighty Lord!

"Huh? Thou hast ...... Don't stop yet, you're going to die if you go on like this! The red-clothed saber noticed something wrong and hurriedly shouted. Although everyone is an enemy, she is a good king in her own right. It's not the little girl in front of her who is wrong, it's the god who enslaves her heart! That's why she suppressed the *** disciple and did something that cost her her life.

The good king will not get a good ending.

Sophia's body grew rapidly, and the armor on her body grew with her age.

Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...... Until the age of twenty-four. In an instant, ten years passed quietly in her.

"Death, heretic!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Mom, where did Grandma go?" In the drizzle, the young girl looked at the dark coffin in front of her and whispered in fear. Although she was still young, she knew that her kind grandmother would never make sweet and delicious cakes for her again, nor would she whisper fairy tales to her by the fire.

People say that Grandma is dead.

Death, what exactly?

The beautiful lady gently stroked the girl's hair and said softly, "Grandma has gone to heaven." ”

"Heaven?"

"Yes, kingdom of heaven. It was a beautiful place, no sorrow, no pain, just everything you could imagine. ”

"Like in a fairy tale?"

"That's right, my boy."

"Then I'm going to heaven too, I want to see my grandmother!"

Yes, one day we will all be called by the Lord's grace. When the time comes, you will not only see your grandmother, but you will also be able to see your grandfather. Not now, though, but in the long, long future. The Great Lord wants all people to walk the long way, just like Grandma. The Lord is merciful, and He wants all children to grow up happy. ”

"What a good man the Lord is!"

"Oh, my child, the Lord is not a man, but a god."

"God?"

"That's right, God Almighty."

"Mom, how can I ascend to the kingdom of God? I still want to see my grandmother now......"

"Child, fear our Lord in your heart and keep the rules He has set at all times, this is faith. Only the most devout believers can see the Lord, so you just need to live happily now. ”

"Well, Mom, I will!"

Is death a going to heaven?

Is it true that only the most devout believers can go to heaven?

Then I will become the most devout believer.

I want grandma......

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The angel flames burned wildly, just as devout as his master had been.

A moment ago, the red-clothed saber still had an absolute advantage. And now, she was beaten by the twelve-winged seraphim, and it was difficult to fight back. Time flies by on the girl, in exchange for more and more power. If the fourteen-year-old *** can exert one-tenth of the strength of the Seraph, then the twenty-four-year-old royal sister can exert all the strength.

At this time, Sophia is already equivalent to a powerful heroic spirit with all attributes A+!

"Saber, do you need help?" Tamamo, who had cleaned up a group of demons, asked a little nervously.

"No, you don't!" The self-esteem of the King of the Red Saber did not allow her to accept this kind of help, and besides, she was not helpless.

The blonde-haired girl in red took a deep breath and chanted aloud like poetry.

"Witness my talent

I heard the applause of ten thousand thunders

With the glory of the ruler in his heart

Blooming like a flower

Let's open - the Theater of Gold! ”

The gigantic theater resembled in this world with the fall of Saber's voice in red, replacing everything that had been here. This is the last hole card of the red-clothed saber, a super-large magic that is paradoxical to the inherent enchantment, and one of the strongest treasures of the EX rank - "Aestusdomusaurea"!

"I am an artist who rivals Apollo, the god of music, and a charioteer who rivals Thor, the god of the sun!"

"I, the fifth emperor of Rome, Nero? Claudius! ”
