Chapter 258: Demon Priest
"Jingle Bell."
Metal falls to the ground.
Xia Yanzhen turned around and saw Jones forcibly breaking a nail and regaining his freedom with one hand.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Xia Yanzhen also saw that Lancelot's side also had a strong man's battle memory.
Out of this normal.
Lancelot's strength is there, and he died in the hands of Xia Yanzhen so quickly because Xia Yanzhen seized the opportunity.
The poisoning had already determined the date of Lancelot's death.
The Holy Light purified the poison, but it failed to completely resolve the stiff sequelae caused by the poison.
For Xia Yan Zhen, a little flaw is enough to become the cause of death.
Walking back to put away the battle memory of the strong, Xia Yanzhen went back again and began to dismantle the door.
There is still a little more than a day left before the mission is completed and returns.
He hadn't planned to hide in this room, and the Eternal Blood Armor he had lent out hadn't been recovered.
The Burning Blood Sword slashed at the door easily, and when it descended from above, the stone gate more than a meter thick was shredded by Xia Yanzhen.
Another stone door behind it was revealed.
It's like the Steppenwolf of the Paradise Island Amazons.
The result is the same, it just can't be stopped.
Xia Yanzhen simply took out the King's Cross Sword, and the two swords shot at the same time, and the efficiency of dismantling the door was more than doubled.
Ten stone doors were demolished in a row, and an upward staircase appeared behind them.
Replaced with a more convenient weeping blood gun, Xia Yanzhen climbed the stairs.
On the outer city walls.
Eight cardinals, including Horen, occupy the southeast, northwest, northeast, northeast, southeast, and southwest of the Holy City, a total of eight directions.
They performed a grand purification ceremony.
Pillars of purifying light descended from the sky and spread out in all directions.
A large number of rats were purified in the light to the point that their bones were gone.
But compared to the entire Kuroshio, it's actually a drop in the bucket.
Just as the holy light dissipated, Xia Yanzhen also killed the little monster in Mary's womb.
The red-eyed rats outside the Holy City, the red color of their eyes disappeared, and they returned to normal one after another.
It's daytime, and rats infected with the Black Death have severe photophobia.
After losing the strong pressure control of the outside world, he instinctively drilled into the ground.
The Kuroshio Tide began to dissipate.
The rats went to the ground, and the dead bodies immediately came to the fore, and their ferocity did not disappear, and they rushed madly towards the holy city.
The number of nearly 100,000 also formed a wave of terror.
But it's far from Kuroshio.
"What's going on?"
"The Kuroshio has faded?"
"That's a good thing."
The cardinal did not understand why the Kuroshio Tide had suddenly dispersed.
But the red eyes of the rats disappeared and turned into ordinary black dead mice, proving that there was no one to control them anymore.
Good news, right?
Bursts of cheers rang out from all over the city walls, and then as the news spread, the entire holy city was filled with cheers.
The cardinal made a move, and the Kuroshio immediately collapsed.
The church is invincible!
The Church is eternal!
As everyone knows, Huo Lun and the others also made a mistake, and their original plan was not like this.
Doubts are doubts, but it does not affect the eight cardinals smiled, waved to the faithful, and returned to the inner city, to the cathedral, full of glory and praise.
As soon as they entered the cathedral, the eight cardinals felt an air of solemnity.
Pope Rodrigo, who was supposed to be drawing power from the underground dungeons, appeared in the most palatial hall on the ground.
The idlers and others were all held back, and only some black crows were there.
"His Majesty?"
Hollen and the others saw that Rodrigo's face sank like water, and their hearts also sank.
It's not that His Majesty the Pope did it ahead of schedule, but that something really went wrong!
"You're here." Rodrigo's voice was still very steady, and he didn't see the embarrassment of fleeing just now, "Something's wrong." β
Without further ado, Rodrigo repeated the mutiny of "Father Anderson".
The expressions of Huo Lun and the others were full of disbelief.
Mutiny?
How could there be a mutiny!
This is a priest who has undergone a canonization and is so faithful to the Church and to the upper clergy that he could not be more faithful.
The clergy cannot rebel, and at least lose all their power after the rebellion.
This has been an iron law for thousands of years.
It is a knowledge engraved in the bones of church members.
It's like water flowing downward, and the world has a natural law of day and night.
No one thought that this iron law would be broken.
"Now ......," Horren asked.
"He's temporarily trapped in the room." Rodrigo said.
"Lancelot ......"
"Dead." Rodrigo directly shattered some people's illusions, Lancelot was dead, and if it weren't for the collapse of this front row, he would not have fled in embarrassment.
It is not papal decency.
The faces of Horen and the others also became as ugly as the Pope.
Lancelot also died.
So what to do?
With their strength, they can use the Purifying Holy Light to purify the traitors seventeen or eighteen times.
But does the Purifying Light really work for the traitor?
"Go ahead, gather all the believers and ordinary people from the outer city." Pope Rodrigo's eyes flashed with a sinister look.
Horen: They immediately understood the Pope's thoughts.
Use ordinary people to fill and consume the betrayal of Anderson, and then use the power of the church itself to kill.
Damage to the church can be minimized.
Moreover, the Pope is a little suspicious that the betrayal of "Anderson" is to prevent the Holy City from being destroyed and everyone suffering.
Otherwise, he really couldn't think of any reason to defect.
This is the sanctified priest, and now that the kings are divinely ordained, those kingdoms are trembling on their knees under the power of the Church and the terrible Black Death.
Church snorts.
Once the Pope succeeds in controlling the power of the Black Death and sanctifying the priesthood, none of the ten kings can catch up.
For the sake of profit, there is really no need to betray.
Then there is only chivalry.
Protecting civilians is chivalry β and of course, in all eras, very few can actually be practiced.
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
The Pope could only guess that the other party was a knightly fanatic, so he was immune to the effects of the sanctification ceremony.
In this case, the blocking of civilians should play a big role.
Huo Lun and the others left immediately, and various orders began to be issued.
The delightful believers in the outer city were unwittingly "driven" to the inner city.
They don't know that they are going to usher in the fate of cannon fodder, and they are still immersed in the joy and joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
Now to go to the inner city, to the cathedral, is to pray.
The church acted efficiently.
Soon, the outside of the cathedral was crowded with ordinary believers.
The Pope had wings of light on his back, suspended in mid-air, and the holy light sprinkled down, causing countless believers to kneel and bow their heads.
"Demons have infiltrated the Churchβ" the Pope's voice was as loud as the sound of heaven.
"He occupies the body of the sanctified priest and is about to emerge from the repression of the Holy Land.
"We need your devout strength and faith to fight against the demons that occupy the priest's body.
"There will be some sacrifices along the way, don't be afraid. The Light shines upon you, and your souls will be eternally at peace, eternal and immortal. β
The Pope's flickering, with a special magic, made a large number of believers ready to sacrifice.
This is their crowning glory.
One by one, they held their heads high and took the initiative to enter the cathedral.
They must banish the demon from the priest's body!
In the holy light, the face of the Pope, whose expression was not clear to others, was indifferent, like a stone.
In addition to the believers, there are a large number of church knights - the Red Knights and Black Knights (Dark Crows) have them.
Outside, there are clergymen who are relatively not so strong in combat.
You can come and purify the light a few times.
On the walls of the inner city are archbishops, cardinals, and a combination of blood-armored knights and crows.
The group of people with the strongest combat power in the church waited for Xia Yanzhen to be consumed to a certain level before making a move.
The expressions under the helmet of the Blood-Armored Knight were different, but they were all puzzled.
I don't understand why the canonized priests would rebel, but it doesn't prevent them from doing it later, for them the order from the Pope must come first.
Even Yin Fu is no exception.
The church is eternal first, and Xia Yanzhen must be at the bottom.
Xia Yanzhen, who was at the back of the line, walked in the complicated and labyrinthine church, his steps unhurried.
Not too far behind him, sneaking up on the weakened Daemon siblings.
and Xia Yan are really separated.
Although it is not clear what is going on, there are some things that the two siblings can be sure of.
First, their mother died, and their reunion became a farewell.
Second, it seems that a monster has been born in the mother's body, but fortunately, it is also dead.
Third, the priest who arrested them in the first place seemed to have fallen out with the church.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be locked up here.
So, the siblings, who had been on the run for two and a half years, quickly decided what to do.
With the priest, you might be able to escape.
The cathedral is empty, and it's easy for people who are completely unfamiliar with the road to get lost.
Xia Yan really won't, because he just needs to determine a direction to go out.
Turn?
Don't turn, open your way when you encounter a wall.
Nothing could stand in his way.
Soon, Xia Yanzhen heard the sound of various prayers.
He stopped and saw the worshippers slowly pouring into the church.
"That's him!"
"Demons! Get out of the priest's body! β
A group of fanatical believers flocked to Xia Yanzhen.
βοΌοΌοΌβ Xia Yanzhen showed a puzzled expression, and immediately understood in the next second.
The church is ruthless enough to send these ordinary people as cannon fodder.
Putting away the two weapons with the wrath of the great sun, Xia Yanzhen took out the Book of Divine Purification and turned to the page of the Wings of Light.
Wings of Light did not go on cooldown.
The wings appeared, Xia Yanzhen stepped on them, and flew up.
At this point, the believers were dumbfounded.
Can you fly?
No, this holy light, this light wings, is it really a demon?
Fortunately, someone soon discovered the blind spot, and the light wings were not growing behind their backs, but were trampled underfoot.
What a proper demonic act!
For a while, all kinds of angry scolding came like a tide.
Xia Yan is really as stable as Mount Tai, and he is not shocked.
His emotions will not be triggered so easily, and he will go down in anger and fight with people.
Even if you want to do it when you are angry, there are many more elegant ways to do it and not bleed much.
Ordinary believers can't build a human wall like a dead body, so they can only jump on the ground.
Each floor of the church was very high, and no matter how they jumped, they couldn't touch half of Xia Yanzhen's hair.
As for smashing things, this is the cathedral.
With the devotion of the believers, they did not dare to touch anything in it.
Not far away, the Jones siblings hid, waiting for the opportunity to escape.
