Chapter 255: The Last Glory of the Dawn (3)
Leonard and the others saw the opportunity early and retreated quickly, withdrawing before the Celestial City rose, while the other Dark Alliance soldiers who were still fighting were not so lucky.
At least 70,000 Dark Alliance soldiers were stranded in the Heavenly City, and in the face of the sudden increase in human warriors, coupled with the powerful jets of light divine power attacks in all directions, it didn't take long for them to suffer heavy casualties, and only a few thousand warriors were originally standing on the outer edge, and they were able to escape in time with the cover of others.
"It's worthy of the Holy See, if it weren't for this kind of means, it would surprise me......" Even if Iroh in the distance was prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little wave in his heart at this moment.
The huge white city slowly flew up, countless cannon holes continued to open on the gradually exposed substructure, and the inverted turrets rained down magical cannonballs of various attributes towards the dark coalition positions below. Even if Leonard and the others used their full strength, they could only protect part of the Dark Alliance behind them and retreat to the rear.
When the Sky City rose to a height of several thousand meters, it stopped, and all the holy light suddenly converged in the direction of the gate of the Old Dawn Holy See, and countless rays of light seemed to converge into a huge white sun, radiating a brilliant and dazzling light.
In the face of the bright light as blazing as the sun, only a powerhouse of the level of Ailo could use his strength to protect his eyes and see the scene clearly. I saw a white-haired old man at the center of the light holding a dark gold scroll in his hand, looking down majestically at the Dark Alliance legion below.
Pope β Gregory XV.
Before the powerful men of the Dark Alliance could react, Gregory XV had already stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the center of the Dark Alliance Legion, and chanted aloud: "The Lord says, the kingdom of heaven is near, and you must repent!"
With these words, a bit of golden light flew in front of the Pope's index finger, and then a huge force like a star core explosion erupted from it, causing that little bit of golden light to suddenly expand and fly away from the Pope's finger at the same time.
Before it had flown a few hundred meters, it had already swelled into a large, round golden star, and smashed down towards the Dark Coalition with billowing firelight and thunder.
"So, Agathans...... No, Yan, what do you do?"
Iroh stared at the great fallen Venus and muttered to himself.
He could clearly feel the enormity of the power contained in that star, which was larger than his own nuclear fusion bomb, although it might not be able to reach the super hydrogen bomb made in his own limit state, but as long as it fell, it would be no problem to collapse half of the Dawn Holy See.
As the leader of the Shadow Eternity, Yan could not have been unprepared for such a big variable as the Pope.
Sure enough, just as the golden star was approaching, another even more dazzling blood-colored bright light came to the top. The two very different energies collided violently a hundred meters above the Dark Alliance Legion, erupting into a thunderous explosion, and the ripples visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions along the collision of the two huge forces, and the area of influence was tens of kilometers away.
The commander of the Dark Alliance, Bloody Wind Agatans, has finally struck at this moment!
At the same time, outside the plane where the Holy See is located, in the territory of the Dragon Yan Empire, another great change is taking place.
On the ground was endless crimson fire, and in the sky, the figures of a man and a dragon were facing each other.
Leviathan, who was in the form of a girl, glanced at the huge copper dragon opposite, the Divine Flame Venerable, and then looked down at the ground that had turned into a sea of fire, frowned, and pressed his hands slightly, actually extinguishing most of the flames on the ground, leaving only a bare piece of charred land.
"Oh, it's not good to be so angry. Venerable Shenyan, you are an old guy who has lived for more than a thousand years, rather than come out to find death, it is better to enjoy your old age in Dragon City. β
Leviathan smiled skillfully, without a trace of dust on his body, and his goddess-like posture made outsiders not see that the two had just fought a big battle.
That's right, while the Walla Empire and the Dragon Flame Empire were fighting, Leviathan sneaked into the territory of the Dragon Flame Empire, intending to hunt down another traverser. However, just when she had just succeeded, the subordinate of the Divine Yan Venerable, one of the five great Venerables, the Yanyi Follower, appeared in front of her.
A Flame Wing Follower was naturally no match for the Leviathan now, but just as she killed the other party, the Divine Flame Venerable also arrived.
"You're Leviathan. "Venerable Shenyan's voice was very loud, as loud as a huge bell that rang out the heavens and the earth. "Finally, let me find you. β
"I'm not interested in an old guy like you. β
Leviathan said unflinchingly, "But, it looks like even if that's the case, I can't leave easily today, can I?"
"No more nonsense, I'm going to clean up the portal today!" Venerable Shenyan whispered, his eyes suddenly changed, and he swung his front paws violently and attacked the Leviathan.
Leviathan snorted coldly: "I don't know whether to live or die!
Although this conversation is a bit clueless, the two of them are tacit. When Leviathan was a bronze dragon, it was the younger generation that Venerable Shenyan valued the most. And the Divine Flame Venerable was also the most jealous and hateful of the five venerables, so after realizing that his former pride had fallen, he pursued it at all costs.
Of course, it seems that it is still unknown who killed whom.
Leviathan sneered, and a dark black dragon claw suddenly appeared on his white hand, colliding with the claws of the Divine Flame Venerable impartially, and a single blow startled a thousand heavy breaking waves, spreading out from the middle between him and the Divine Flame Venerable, shaking away the clouds and mist within a radius of a hundred meters, and also making a piece of land under them sink a little out of thin air, flat as a mirror.
The huge body of the Divine Flame Venerable was bounced away for hundreds of meters from a distance, and the Leviathan's body also retreated more than a hundred meters away, and in the first encounter, it seemed that the Leviathan, which had the terrifying power hidden in its petite body, had the upper hand.
Venerable Shenyan's claws shrank and opened, and the claws doubled again, and a deep voice sounded again, "Next, I will use my talent 'Vulcan's Fury', enlightenment!"
"Talent?" Leviathan was surprised, "The fire god's anger is indeed not weak......
Then, Leviathan's gaze became even colder: "However, you think that you can defeat me in this way, you are very wrong. β
......
On Elo's side, Agatanns and the Pope on the battlefield did not stop, and Agatanns looked up to the sky and laughed after receiving the Pope's blow, and shouted at the Pope in the sky: "Human, if you can reach this level with every next attack, I will turn around and leave now." But if you can't, die here for me today!"
The Pope in the air didn't reply, but suddenly took a long breath, and the light power in the air frantically poured into his body with his breath.
The old face became younger like magic, and the pale hair and rickety body also completed the trick of turning back time in a short time, but in the time of two breaths for the average person, the Pope changed from an old man in his eighties to a handsome young man in his twenties.
The only thing that was different from ordinary teenagers was the vicissitudes of life in his eyes and the six slender snow-white wings of light behind him.
Then he untied his robe and spread his hands and said, "Come, ComeβIron Crown of the Holy Emperor!Grail of Eternal Life!Nail of Redemption!"
With a flash of light, a black thorn-like headband, a small golden cup, and a spike that seemed to be soaked in golden blood flew out of the temple behind him and encircled him.
"The Holy See's heritage is truly remarkable, and it is an ascetic artifact that can turn suffering into infinite light and divine power...... A healing artifact that constantly gushes out life force...... And the punishment artifact that destroys all the dark forces, it's really amazing equipment. β
Looking at the Pope, who was equipped with a powerful force in the sky, Agatans sneered slightly and commented: "It's a pity, Gregory XV, you are too old. Even if you use the secret art to temporarily rejuvenate you, how long will you be able to use these artifacts?"
Listening to Agathans' comments, Iroh looked at them with all his eyes, and immediately recognized the three artifacts in the air that were almost completely fused with the Pope's.
The "Iron Crown of the Holy Emperor" seems to be a crown of thorns, but it is actually a powerful artifact of light, which is said to have been given by the god of light to reward his faithful believers;
As for the ancient book that the Pope originally held in his hand, it was the most famous holy book of the Holy See of Dawn - the Book of Nazarenus. It is said that the records are all oracles of the god of light at the time of the founding of the religion. Although the power is not strong, it can enhance the effect of the "Great Prophecy Technique", and its status among humans is no less than that of an artifact.
The Pope took out all four top-level secret treasures this time, and it was obvious that he was already fighting with all his might.
However, it is a pity that the strongest artifact in the history of the Holy See, the Holy Ark that can directly summon the projection of the God of Light to help in battle, has been lost, and as Agatans said, his physical condition is not optimistic.
"Hahahaha, good! Now that you're ready. Then let's fight!"
Seeing the Pope transform into the form of a seraphim, Agatanns naturally knew that this was a sign that he had raised the power of light to the limit and caused the sanctification of the angels.
He said no more, his wings spread out, and he let out a roar full of fury.
The next moment, the vampire dragon, which had returned for revenge, had spread its wings and soared into the sky.
