Before the fireball could reach the corner of the Pope's coat, it was blocked by a barrier of glowing light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, easily blocking the opponent's attack did not make the Pope's demeanor any easier. On the contrary, he couldn't help but retreat several times, and was so startled that the hand holding the scepter began to tremble slightly, as if he had never seen the world.

He just stared at the old lady and couldn't say anything.

"Yes, compared to back then, you are not so busy receiving a small gift now. The old lady nodded, and responded to the pope's stunned look with a seemingly gratifying compliment.

However, the Pope did not answer.

His eyes were still wide open, his face full of astonishment, as if he had not yet come to his senses.

For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Bang!

Suddenly, the tip of the scepter in the Pope's hand exploded extremely abruptly, and on the scepter, the largest diamond shattered, turning into a burst of white light, enveloping the Pope's entire person.

Then, in less than a second, the Pope disappeared into the white light and fled the place.

At the same time, in an open space about several kilometers away, a cloud of white light appeared out of thin air, and the Pope's figure suddenly walked out of it. As soon as he appeared, he immediately turned around and looked at the place where he had been, and there was a little fear in his eyes.

"How, how could it be her...... Isn't she already dead?" he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and in shock, he even began to talk to himself.

Luckily he ran fast, otherwise......

However, just as he was secretly rejoicing, the old lady's voice came from behind him again.

"I did almost die. ”

At this moment, the Pope was almost so frightened that he threw away his scepter. He turned around in a panic, but saw the old lady standing not far behind him, still looking at him kindly with that seemingly ignorant and innocent smile.

She followed.

- After he escaped from the place just now in an instant with the help of his scepter, in less than ten seconds, the old lady followed.

This fact made the Pope, who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai for many years, feel dizzy at the moment.

"You...... No, even if you don't die, you can't have the strength you had back then. ...... year I knew very well that even if the teacher didn't die with you, you wouldn't be able to maintain that level of magic. Taking a deep breath, the Pope's long age still made him barely compose. He said coldly to the old lady.

He's the pope of this generation, and he has to be calm.

Besides, calm down and think about it carefully, he doesn't need to cover the huge shadow of the year on himself now.

Listening to the Pope's words, the old lady also nodded.

"You're right. She suddenly took out a sentimental look and said slowly, "The fifth generation of the Pope is indeed a powerful figure. You know, I was in my twenties at the time. When he came with five bishops, ten teams of cleaners, and more than twenty priests to surround and suppress me, I also thought that I was unlucky. ”

As she spoke, she paused deliberately before continuing: "Therefore, even in the end, I fought for this life and burned all my spiritual power and elemental affinity before killing them all. ”

Listening to the old lady's words, the Pope put the scepter on the ground like a crutch, and gradually stabilized his emotions, his body no longer trembled, and his palms no longer broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh, yes......

A mage whose mental power and elemental affinity have been severely damaged, even after years of recovery, can retain how much of his former strength?

He didn't need to panic like a young priest who had just entered the church.

He...... It's long since he wasn't the little priest who just entered the church.

"In that case, you shouldn't have appeared in front of me. Thinking like this, the Pope was less panicked, and a cold killing intent began to appear in his tone, "I really didn't expect that the legendary 'Soul Flame' would be hidden among the nobles of the royal capital. However, God has brought you here, and there should be an end to those pasts. ”

With that, he raised his scepter.

The old lady gave him a very uneasy feeling, which made Xiang feel even more irritable. Therefore, in order to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and regain his majesty as pope, he did not intend to continue grinding here.

Whether this mage who caused the accidental fall of the fifth generation of the Pope is bluffing or not can only be found out by himself by himself.

He's ready to do it.

Invisible fluctuations spread out from his body, like a breeze blowing through the desert, with a kind of power that made people's hearts tremble. Under the call of this fluctuation, the surrounding holy light rushed towards the Pope at a rapid pace, and the intensity even formed many visible arcs of light above the Pope's head.

The Pope raised his hands in high and looked indifferent, as if he were a god about to pronounce judgment, and looked at the old lady without sorrow or joy.

He opened his mouth, ready to chant.

Syllable!

The old lady tilted her head and snapped her fingers again.

The Pope, who was guiding the gathering of the Holy Light, suddenly felt like a needle had been pricked in his head. Then, a sharp pain came, and the holy light around him immediately broke out of his control, scattering like startled birds.

His spell casting was interrupted.

Realizing this, the Pope once again showed a stunned expression and looked at the old lady in extreme shock.

...... How so?

"You know, elemental affinity, mental power, these things are very annoying. The old lady rubbed her temples helplessly, and said, "When I had just completely overdrawn them, I became a fool, remembering nothing, and wandering aimlessly in the kingdom. However, they are like weeds, they still grow after being cut. After a year, I was back to normal, after three years I had all my memories back, after five years I was back as a mage, and after thirty years I was back to my old level. After recovering my memory, I found out that I had somehow married the then Duke of Reeser and gave birth to a son, which gave me a headache too. ”

As she spoke, the old lady also sighed in a pretentious gesture, as if her tenacious magical talent like a weed had really caused her great trouble.

As for the Pope's side......

After listening to the old lady's words, he had fallen into a complete stunned, and could only shake his head while showing an expression of disbelief.

This...... No way.

The Church's research on spiritual power has always been a work in progress. He knew very well that once his mental power was damaged, it would be very troublesome to recover. The more damaged it is, the harder it is to recover.

Therefore, even if the church knew that the mages had a lot of secret techniques to burn their own spiritual power and even their souls, they only regarded it as a drink to quench their thirst, and never studied it.

He had never heard that his spiritual power had been burned out, and he could grow back again.

...... Is it God's will? God is testing his will? Otherwise, why would such an unbelievable thing appear in front of his eyes?

Looking at the Pope's constipated expression, the old lady shrugged innocently and said, "I didn't mean it, the talent is like this, no matter what I'm doing, the spiritual power and elemental affinity are my own president." It's still growing even if it's burned out, and it's still growing fast. I haven't practiced magic once in all these years, and they just grow back on their own, and I can't help it. ”

“......”

I don't know if it's because of the backlash of the failed spell casting, the Pope suddenly has an urge to vomit blood.
