Chapter 20: The Last Stand (Part II)

What a cunning act! Jude angrily rebuked the sanctimonious archbishop in front of him.

At the same time, Alphonsos's magic had been completed, and with his gesture, an invisible force slowly pushed the boy away.

Unaware that the Archbishop, who was not good at combat, was a master of combat, Jude re-examined his opponent and began to make a new plan.

"If I'm not mistaken, Jude, you used a lot of stamina and mana in your previous defensive battles. Archbishop Alfonsos looked at the boy calmly, "Thank you for your contribution to the defense of the snowfall, but you can't go over. ”

As the other party said, his own physical strength and mana were not much left, and Jude stared at the leader of the Holy Light Church in front of him with some disbelief, he seemed to be able to see everything through.

β€œIcnocia_sarah......”

Still staring at the boy, Alphonsos didn't say anything more and began to cast another magic spell.

β€œ...... mechinord_sura......”

It was a spell Jude familiar to him, and both Leia and Elise had cast it on him, and the headache he had when he woke up was fresh in his memory.

The boy reacted immediately and tried to force the spell to counter again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't concentrate.

Rather desperate, Jude tried to rush forward to interrupt the other party's spell casting, but was blocked by the invisible force in the distance, and could not approach the archbishop at all.

β€œ...... kevoth_segan。 ”

Eventually, Alphonsos recited all of the spell and successfully cast the spell on the boy.

I didn't expect it to be like this.

Eventually, he fell to the Divine Punishment again, just as he had done with Leia and Elise, though this time he had tried his best to guard against it.

Is it true that the cunning of the archbishop is superior?

Jude was extremely unwilling but unable to do anything about it.

The perfect plan made earlier, Leia, is on her back...... Is it all over?

This was the last thought of the teenager before falling into a coma.

-

I don't know when, I don't know where, the surroundings are pale.

Jude stood there confused, not knowing why he was here or what he was going to do.

Suddenly, the boy was hugged from behind, and when he turned his head to look back, it was the girl he was familiar with.

Jude reached out and tried to touch the top of Leia's head, but the girl suddenly disappeared.

While he was wondering, the boy suddenly saw Leia standing not far away: short flaxen hair, pure pale blue eyes, but not as lively as before, her face sad and haggard.

"Leia?" Jude tried to call out to the girl, and ran quickly towards her, only to find that the distance between the two was getting longer, and he couldn't get close to each other anyway.

"Jude," the girl looked at the boy sadly, "are you here to save me?"

Finally remembering the purpose of his trip, although in vain, Jude still tried his best to run towards Leia, and at the same time replied loudly: "Yes, that's right, I saved you, and I will not allow the church to use you." ”

"However, it may be too late. The girl stood still, unimpressed by the young man in front of her, "There is no time left." ”

"Hold on, Leia, don't give up!" Jude couldn't help but pause and gasp for breath, and encouraged the girl, "Even if I give up everything, no matter what, I must get you out!"

Looking at the young man, Leia was silent for a moment, and then asked:

"Even if you give everything you have, even if you go over the edge of the taboo, do you want to try?"

"Yes. ”

"Even if you don't get understood, if you don't get support, if you are opposed and hated, do you want to try?"

"Yes. ”

"Even if you know that there is little hope, that you are almost defeated, and that you don't even see the possibility of a reversal, do you want to try?"

"Yes. ”

In the face of every question of the girl, Jude gave a resolute affirmative reply, and he could feel his strong will and undying determination.

"So," tears rolled down Leia's cheeks, but she smiled beautifully, "go ahead and try, Jude." ”

As soon as the girl's voice fell, the surrounding scenery instantly became clear. Jude suddenly found himself still standing in the camp at the top of the hill, beside the glorious circle, and not far in front of him was the hateful-looking archbishop.

"Alphonsos!" roared hysterically, and the boy rushed at full speed toward the archbishop, pouring all his anger and determination into his sword, slicing it in two under the disbelieving gaze of the other.

After all this was done, Jude stuck the black sword in the dirt, felt his heart beat violently, and gasped for breath with his hands on his knees.

-

Suddenly, the surroundings changed again, and the boy found himself lying on the ground, not panting, but having a splitting headache.

Struggling to overcome the discomfort in his head, Jude barely got up with the sword in his hand.

Archbishop Alphonsos was standing not far away, still calmly staring at the young man in front of him, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Unbelievable, I've never seen anyone resist divine punishment. Alfonsos' eyes even contained a hint of appreciation, "Firm will, just like you did against Modres's Soul Breaker, right?" ”

It seemed that it was a vision in his mind before, and Jude gradually recovered from the headache and dizziness, and stared at the hateful archbishop again: "Nothing can stop me. Alphonsos, I will never allow you to take advantage of others, I will never allow you to hurt Leia!"

Not intending to say anything more, the young man grabbed Cyrens and charged back at the archbishop, slashing vertically.

As expected, this blow was parried by the opponent, but Jude did not stop, constantly swinging his sword to attack to keep it suppressed.

The pitch-black sword and the holy white staff collided with each other, making a piercing and sharp sound until they both took a few steps back.

Alphonsos did not stop, and immediately began to chant a mantra. Seeing that this young man was not in a hurry to cast a spell to counteract, not only because he had already cast it once before and his mental wear was serious, but also because after suffering a loss, he had a deep understanding of the archbishop's cunning.

Regardless of whether or not the other party was actually casting a spell, Jude took the opportunity to rush forward, only to find that the archbishop seemed to be casting a magic spell.

Damn, the boy had misjudged again, but he wasn't discouraged, at least he hadn't found out what the spell had worked for the time being, maybe it was just a trick to confuse him.

However, this surprise attack was blocked by Alphonsos's defense, Jude took two steps back, seeing that the weapon attack was difficult to work, and felt that it was not appropriate to delay any longer, he decided to use the last mana to fight the victory.

β€œAn'dru_vicog-nir......”

As he quickly chanted the hypnotic incantation, Jude was delighted to find that the archbishop was defending himself in place, and he could almost foresee his victory.

Just as the boy was about to cast this spell, he was suddenly kicked from behind, staggering forward and barely steady, and the spell was interrupted.

This was completely unexpected, and Jude turned to look back, and found that Kirekhanon had awakened at some point, staring at him sternly with his sword raised.
