Chapter 421: The Idea of Light
Among the two angels who descended from the sky, a male angel had four pairs of wings on his back, and a faint golden light slowly flowed on the white wings, revealing an aura far more powerful than the female angel called Nolanya. The male angel was also dressed in almost airtight armor, and in terms of stature, he was even taller than Alphonse, and stood there as if it were a tower of steel, and one had to look up at it. And the other female angel is also three pairs of wings, and Nolanya is wearing the same style of armor, not only the armor is the same, but even the temperament is very similar, but Nolanya is holding a spear in her hand, and this female angel is holding a tall tower shield in her hand, from the pattern and shape of the shield, it seems that it should be one with the spear.
"Lord Arcais, it is certain that some demon-worshipping cultists have already sanctioned them in the name of our lord. Nolana said with a respectful salute.
The male angel named Arcais nodded, and then his gaze fell on Edward and Tia, and he only looked at Tia slightly, and the angel's gaze was firmly fixed on the bloodstain fragment in Edward's arms.
"Who are you, and why are you being hunted down by the cultists?"
Arcaith's voice was strong and powerful, with a peculiar majesty, Edward looked at the angel in front of him, who was almost twice as tall as himself, and felt a strong sense of tension and fear in his heart, but this tension and fear was different from when he saw the cultist and the human lion, if the former was only because of the fear of each other's enemies in the case of life and death, while the latter was more like facing the elders and the unquestionable superiors like the king and the president, which made people subconsciously fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Edward immediately gathered his thoughts and said, "Edward Elric! This is Tia, who was kidnapped by the cultists and wanted to sacrifice her to the demons."
The three angels in front of him exuded a powerful aura, an aura of absolute power disparity brought by the superior, and Edward knew very well that even he and Al would not be able to defeat either of them in their heyday. Not to mention the current situation where their own side has almost lost all their combat strength. For this reason, Edward honestly explained what happened.
Arcais listened quietly to Edward's statement, and when he learned that he had dug a tunnel and washed the altar with groundwater, although he had some doubts about how a child could dig out the tunnel, it should be a fact that the demon's altar was destroyed or damaged, otherwise he and Nolana would not have felt the power of the abyss permeating this generation during the flight.
A child goes to the demon's altar alone, rescuing the kidnapped and destroying one of the demon's altars, albeit a very small one that has just been built. But it was already a great credit to be able to destroy Miè with the power of one person, and thinking of this, even Alcaes, who was an angel, couldn't help but appreciate the mortal in front of him a little more.
"Then why would you act with an undead?" "But appreciation is appreciation, and there are some things that Arcais still needs to figure out, especially for the dead who should not be in the world of the living......
Al!?
Edward was taken aback, and even Alphonse was very surprised, after the angel arrived, Alphonse didn't say a word, but the other party recognized Alphonse at a glance as if he had seen through it.
"He's my brother. Faced with the tremendous pressure brought by the angels, Edward had to whisper.
"That┉┉Hello Mr. Arcais. Alphons, who was a bloodstained fragment, could only greet in a muffled voice in this situation.
"Brother?" a hint of doubt flashed in Arcaith's eyes, "You are not a necromancer, and you don't have the unique aura of death in your body. Why did your brother become an undead. ”
Edward shook his head, as if disgusted by the angel in front of him calling his brother a dead spirit: "Al is not an undead and he is still alive, it's just an accident that caused Al to lose his body, and I have been looking for a way to restore Al's body." ”
“┉┉┉┉”
Arcais was silent for a moment in the face of Edward's answer, and only after a moment did the powerful angel slowly speak: "I believe what you say, but your brother has lost his body, even if he survives by clinging to steel with spells, his current condition is still a dead in the eyes of the living. ”
"I can find a way to restore Fùal's body!!"
Edward clutched the bloodmark fragment in his arms and shouted, in an instant! A strange luster flashed in Arcaith's eyes, and a powerful force instantly locked on Edward. Xiao Douzi swallowed the words he was about to say back into his mouth, not only did he speak, but Edward even felt as if his body was being squeezed by an invisible force, and he couldn't move at all. Immediately after that, with a slight wave of his hand, the blood mark fragment immediately floated in mid-air and flew in front of him.
In an instant, Edward struggled like a mother beast that had been robbed of her cubs, and Arcais looked at Edward and then at Alphonse: "Whatever the cause and reason, giving the dead rest is the right thing to do, and reversing life and death is a twisted delusion." ”
With that, Arcais grabbed the blood mark fragment in mid-air, and a golden flame rose from Arcais's palm, and the blood mark on the shard burned by the flame began to blur all of a sudden.
"Brother┉┉"
Alvons's voice from the blood mark seemed to disappear little by little. Arcais stared at this indifferently, and no matter how much Edward roared and asked to stop, Arcais also turned a deaf ear.
At this moment, an unexpected figure pounced from the side. In Arcais's eyes, the petite figure was slow, and the power it possessed was not worth mentioning, but it was full of determination and a look of determination. Arcais didn't stop it, although it was only a matter of his own mind to stop the other party.
Tia slammed down on Alphonse's shards. Despite the intense pain caused by the flames burning her body, the girl pressed the blood shards under her tightly in an attempt to extinguish the flames above.
"Tia!!" Edward and Al's voices rang out at the same time.
The flames burned her skin in pain, but it didn't scarred Tia's body, not even her beautiful long hair. Tia screamed in pain in the flames, but the girl still didn't let go and crushed the fragments of Alphons' bloodmark under her. It wasn't until Tia's body slowly floated a puff of black smoke in the flames that Arcais finally slowly lowered his hand movingly, and the golden flames disappeared without a trace.
"Commendable courage and perseverance. But you have mistakenly believed in the god of hypocrisy. The wrath of this god will not burn your body, but it will test your soul. Arcais looked at Tia and said word by word, "Being able to withstand the test of the Holy Flame for such a long time is enough to prove that your soul is still pure and immaculate. I give you a choice, will you be saved, will you forsake the teachings of the gods of hypocrisy, and return to the bosom of my Lord?"
"Lord Arcais, such untrustworthy┉┉"
The female angel on the side asked in a puzzled tone, and Arcais only waved his hand to signal that he was quiet for a while.
It took Tia a long time to finally recover and look up at the angel in front of her, the girl's eyes were full of confusion, and she prayed in the most desperate moment before that the goddess of ice and snow could save her, but in the end it was an angel from the Holy See who came to save her. Yes, even though she was only a maid, Tia recognized the emblem on the angel's armor, which represented the emblem of Ishtar, the Holy Curia goddess of the East. Being saved by the Holy See, who was originally regarded as an enemy, instead of the goddess she believed in, Tia was really sad and confused, why didn't the goddess of ice and snow send a messenger to save herself and Edward and Ar, is the goddess just staring coldly at this qiē in the divine domain?
"Please don't hurt Alphonse and Edward, they're not bad guys, Edward just wants to save his brother. Tia didn't answer Arcais's question directly, but pleaded in a mournful tone.
"The spirits of the dead cannot exist in this world, they will only bring disaster to the living!"
"But Al didn't do anything bad! he and Edward saved me. They're all good people!"
Arcais shook his head: "The living and the dead are not people who belong to the same world, the alternation of life and death is the rule of this world, mortals are not allowed to reverse life and death, otherwise the balance of this world will be broken, so that the whole world will one day be overwhelmed by the lamentations and tombstones of the dead." As the messenger of my Lord, I am obligated to send all the undead back into darkness!"
"Please wait┉┉I'm not dead, I'm just losing my body, if I can get my body back and resurrect, I'm just growing up as an ordinary person and then aging and dying, I don't want to live forever┉┉"
Arcais still didn't let go: "Whatever happened to you before, your life was over when you became like this. Do you want to pursue an unattainable goal and let your brother run for you forever?"
"I┉┉" Al fell silent.
"Don't listen to what he says about Al!!"
Arcais looked at Alphonse indifferently: "It is the right thing to do if you choose to rest and return the time in the future to your brother, otherwise your brother will be forever bound by you as the deceased." ”
Regardless of Edward's angry cries. Arcais stepped forward and gently lifted Tia, the girl looked at the majestic angel in front of her in fear, but she hugged the bloodstain shard, she had no strength, she couldn't fight, she couldn't magic, she didn't have magic!
But why┉┉why┉┉
"Why didn't the god you believe in come to save you?" said Arcaes, who had seen through Tia's thoughts, after taking the fragment of the blood seal, "for only my lord can truly lead the world to normality, and the teachings of the hypocritical gods are full of unrealistic fantasies, and history will prove it." ”
Tia sat down on the ground, her eyes empty as if she had lost her soul.
Arcais watched in silence. When the flame in his hand was about to rise again, a polar cold wind suddenly blew and instantly turned into a cold blizzard, even the heat emitted by the spear in the hand of the female angel Nolanya could not dispel the attack of the wind and snow.
"The teachings of the goddess are not utopian! your 'regularity' is nothing but a distorted delusion of abandoning and oppressing the weak!"
With a shout, a crack twisted in the sky, and Serena, the priestess of the Ice Goddess, appeared in front of everyone's eyes in front of everyone's eyes accompanied by a blizzard. (To be continued.)
