Chapter 216: The Wasteland

In the rocky wasteland, dozens of black-robed priests were running wildly at a speed disproportionate to their status, shuttling like ghosts in the shadows of the stone forest, constantly inserting steel crosses like tombs in their passes, looking like a net thrown from the sky. 【Starter】

Purple flames flashed across the sky, and all the black-robed priests stopped in unison, holding steel crosses and reciting scriptures of unknown meaning. The steel crosses arranged on all sides of the wasteland simultaneously bloomed with a cold light, connecting with each other to form a huge cage that covered the sky and the sun.

"Show up, apostle of **! you have no way to escape today!" an old voice echoed over the wasteland, and a powerful sound wave shook the ground and sent sand and rocks flying across the ground.

Purple fire emerged from the void and converged into the body of a young girl, the black chains wrapped around her body adding to the temptation of sin on the curves of her already perfect body. The long purple hair curled up in the waterfall-like waves, but no matter how far away, everyone could still clearly feel her misty gaze.

"There's nowhere to run? When are you going to ...... Giving us the illusion that our generation is 'on the run'?" Mary Vienne opened her lips lightly, and the sobbing tone made the onlookers subconsciously feel that their mouths were beginning to dry.

Her gaze wandered, moving her gaze to the young priest who was blocking in front of her, and it was just a glance that the black-robed priest screamed and burned. Purple flames erupted from his body, incinerating his body in an instant.

A corner of the massive cage made of steel crosses was missing, and the other black-clad priests quickly moved to make up for the omission. But at this moment, a metal double-headed flail infused with holy light fell from the sky, shattering the head of another black-clad priest, and the Silver Crusader, dressed in heavenly arms, rushed into battle with the tower shield of the Holy White Cross aloft, easily overturning all the enemies in her way.

"Stop her!" the old voice in mid-air shouted angrily, but the voice suddenly disappeared in the middle of the sentence, and then an old man in magic robes appeared from mid-air and rolled to the ground in embarrassment. Although he is not young, the old man's skills are really agile, and he rolled to the side as soon as he landed. The fist that followed him fell to the ground, and a huge rock ten meters long and wide next to it cracked in half with a clatter.

The elemental power boiled in the darkness, revealing a colorful brilliance, which was easily punctured like a dreamy bubble. The strange purple flames and the pure life divine power complemented each other on the battlefield, rolling the black-clad priests who resisted in vain and crushing them into mud. Occasionally, the power fluctuations of the silver rank burst out, flashing like meteors in the sky, leaving only traces of what had once existed.

"All things are false, only the truth ......" The ragged magician shouted a slogan with a feverish expression, condensing a high concentration of fire elements in his body, turning himself into a huge bomb, but in the next moment he was shattered by a punch that filled his teeth, and another punch hit him in the abdomen, shattering the fire element in his body into a pulp. The magician opened his mouth and spat out a cloud of flames, convulsing and falling to the ground.

"It's the cannon fodder of the Truth Society again, I really don't know what this country has been corrupted into by them. The nun, who had put away the heavenly armament, rubbed the blood stains on her hands on her shabby nun's clothes, came to Shirley's side, scratched her head and complained: "These flies are so annoying, I haven't taken a good bath for half a month!"

For a Silver Crusade who can kill seven times in and out of the undead army, these few jumping clowns are not enough for her to be hot, not to mention that there are two more mysterious and terrifying existences by her side at this time, and it is really effortless to solve these remnants of the Truth Society.

The only problem is that these Truth Society lunatics are like flies that never seem to be able to kill. No one knows how much power the Truth Society has controlled in the Oakland Kingdom, and so far, the three girls have joined forces to kill at least more than twenty powerhouses above the quasi-silver rank, which is equivalent to twice the number of silver powerhouses that the Oakland royal family has mastered on the surface.

"Their purpose is to send them to death. After carefully examining the body of the magician, Shirley stood up and said with a calm face, "Marivian is not fully awakened, and she still retains her basic humanity. There are only two ways for the Society of Truth to fully awaken the Apostles, one is to kill me, the sealer, and the other is to let Marivian continue to kill and consume the remaining humanity in her heart. If she didn't want to, then they would have come to the door and let her do it. ”

"Those bastards have gone completely insane!" Katyusha was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly unsightly. She cursed through gritted teeth, and turned her gaze to the purple-haired girl in the distance, not without concern.

After the battle, Marivian returned to her normal form, dragging the heavy chains on her body, finding a clean place to sit down, holding her legs and staring into the distance with empty eyes. I don't know when it began, the girl became more and more silent, and she appeared in a completely different form under another form, full of feminine charm between her gestures.

At the beginning, the Truth Priests led by the Silver Rank powerhouse were able to cause them a lot of trouble, and Katyusha and Shirley were caught in one bitter battle after another. But as the purple fire power in Marivian's body became stronger and stronger, the combat power of those male black-clothed priests also decreased proportionally, and now Shirley had to focus most of her energy on her.

I don't know if those crazy people who have come after each other really play a role, Shirley and Katyusha can clearly feel that the humanity in Marivian is gradually disappearing, although the speed of disappearance is slow, but so far they have not been able to find a solution.

As the Truth Believers believe, the apostle's awakening seems irreversible.

The moor at night was quiet again, except for the sound of the cold wind whistling through the rocks, and Marivien tilted her head slightly, listening intently to the whispers of the wind, and a surprised smile on her face.

"I heard Pandora's voice......" the girl muttered to herself, but Shirley shivered in the distance, and her eyes suddenly sharpened.

She stood up and quietly walked over to Marivian and asked in a low voice, "What did you just say?"

"I heard Pandora's voice, she wasn't far from us, just in that direction. Marivien held out her finger and pointed to the south-west horizon.

"That direction is...... How could she be there? According to the information we have gathered, Her Royal Highness the Holy Sister of the Moon God should be baptizing the king in the royal capital at this time. Shirley said with a frown.

"She is in the royal capital, and she is there...... I felt her anger, and her will was out of control. Marivian tilted her head and whispered as if talking to herself, "I heard her screaming in confusion, and she was saying, Why? Why can't I see the line of fate of that Helios Elector?"

"The Elect of the Sun God, Tiana Lanstadt?" Shirley nodded and smiled, "There has been no news of those Istalen, but I didn't expect them to be alive and tenacious." I don't know what kind of conspiracy Pandora is drumming up again, since I have encountered it, how can I be worthy of her hospitality these days without intervening?"

"You want 'me' to make a move?" asked Marivienne, looking up, a little confused. Sword Castle is hundreds of kilometers away from this wasteland, and the only one of the three who has the ability to make a move is "her", but "her" power is sealed by Shirley's chains, and has been trying to wear it down.

"There's no possibility of reversal anyway, so it's better to consume it and see what the effect will be. Shirley reached out and touched the top of Marivian's head, and the black chains wrapped around the girl's body quietly loosened under the interference of invisible forces.

"I don't care, I just hope you don't regret it. Marivien tilted her head away from Shirley's palm, and her long, wavy purple hair suddenly burst into flames, purple flames flowing down her hair and converging into a delicate flame in her hand.

Marivian silently discerned the direction, raised her hand to tear open a gap in space, and threw the flame into the void.

At the same time, on the battlefield of the Sword Castle, El grabbed a spiritual light from the girl's body and swallowed it without hesitation on the spot, and the girl's body also lost its support and fell into the hands of the sludge monster she controlled, which was also stuffed into her mouth and eaten cleanly in every sense.

The sudden death of the enemy was instantaneous, but El did not take it lightly, wild instincts still conveyed a deadly threat, and he did not believe that everything would end so easily. After devouring the girl's soul, he once again disappeared into the air with the flickering ability of the wind mark, dodging the attack of the monster on the ground.

The Night's Watch had managed to retreat while he was entangled with the girl, but Tiana remained nearby and watched the battle. When she saw the sludge-made monster appear, she gritted her teeth and tried to slit her wrist again. El's figure suddenly appeared behind her, smashing the knife in her hand with his knife, grabbing her hand and running backwards without looking back.

"Wait a minute, we don't know what it is......" The magician girl was held in her arms by force, and she couldn't help but cry out in a lost voice.

"Wait a, didn't you notice that thing looked familiar?" El jumped straight from the roof of the house with Tiana in his arms, rolled on the spot and ran in the direction of the retreating troops.

Behind him, the black demon god who had emerged from the mire had already stood, his true body no less than that of the transformed mushroom giant of Hagnam. The black demon god raised his head, his eyes burned with a strange red light, and a girl's crisp voice came out of his mouth.

"The moon is shining tonight...... It's a surprise, the constituents of the sun god, do you have the courage to report your name?"
