Chapter 3: Prologue to the Gods
"Alright, let's see what divine magic looks like. ”
Sparse applause rang out in front of the temple, and the person who applauded turned out to be the summoner of the five skeletons.
"O Holy Spirit of heaven, give me divine power to condemn this sinner. "For the sake of safety, the cardinal archbishop did not release low-level spells such as moonlight, but used the top-level spell word of the mid-level priest.
In the sky, it seemed that there was really a god echoing this divine magic, and the milky white holy light conjured up one note after another, boom-boom
The Word is the most known divine attack magic in the world. The effect is even better than that of most fifth-order magic spells, not only is it very stable and will not devour the caster and will not fail, but even more rare is that it has a binding effect, and the attacked person cannot do any action in the flash of the holy word. After the priest's first transfer, the sage was even able to directly kill the high-ranking knights with continuous holy words, not to mention the great magician, and it was precisely because of the magic of the holy word that the priest vaguely became the restrictor of the magician.
In the surging white light, black light suddenly erupted from the white skeleton's body, and the black and white luster attacked and defended each other under the proud sun, and the five skeletons did not remain motionless as imagined, and a brown arrow feather suddenly shot out from the white light, and shot at the cardinal who was chanting loudly like lightning.
The other cardinal archbishop had already summoned his own Divine Guard, and the fully armored Divine Guardian raised the golden shield in his hand and quickly slammed away the long arrow.
In an instant, five skeletons burst into the white light at the same time, the short skeleton rushed to the front, and the huge black warhammer slashed a black rainbow in the air and rushed into the Templars......
Then the Moon Washing Scimitar and the long sword burst into the left and right, and then, a tall skeleton howled and changed, and the cry quickly turned into a bear howl, and the skeleton also turned into a rapid bear-like skeleton.
Where have the warriors in the world seen such a thing, in broad daylight, it is already an extremely rare thing for a skeleton to appear, and the skeleton man turned into a skeleton bear, and it is even more breakthrough aggressive, and ...... This skeleton can easily break through the divine attack magic of the two cardinals, which ......
Possession of a divine title was not a barrier to psychological fear, and the Templars all had a look of horror on their faces.
The four summoned Holy Guardians surrounded the Skeleton Bear who killed the Templars at the same time, and the four golden swords pierced into the skeleton at the same time, the giant bear howled, and the huge body twisted repeatedly, the two long swords were broken by the skeleton in response, and then the remaining two long swords were grabbed by the bear's claws and thrown far away, the sharp yellow fangs opened their mouths to kiss the Adam's apple of a Holy Guardian, and after the crisp bone snapped, the Holy Guardian turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared.
The five skeletons were like tigers pounced on the wolves, instantly setting off layers of blood waves, and the Templars suffered a great loss, they did not expect that these skeletons did not care about the slashing of the sword at all, even if their hands were cut off, they would bite people to death with their teeth...... In one of the clashes, several people had already collapsed in pools of blood.
The man in black didn't know when, he walked down the steps to the gate of the temple, turned around and sat down on the steps peacefully, holding his chin and quietly watching the battle below, with a quiet smile on the corner of his mouth.
Neither the Pope nor Reynolds expected that the temple ceremony carefully prepared by the Holy See to boost the morale of the believers would be disrupted by a person similar to Chi Aotian, and even more unexpectedly, this person would be able to summon a skeleton soldier who could ignore magical attacks and ordinary material attacks.
The head of the Knights Templar, St. Johan, not only possessed super-reversive martial arts, but also had an extraordinary mind. What's more, he is an officer from within the Holy See with such a supreme title as Saint Seiya.
According to legend, the saint seiya is a warrior who enters the saint from martial arts, and the first choice of them in their life and career path is a warrior who is known for their martial arts, compared with ordinary warriors, each of them is quite wise, whether in the army or in the mercenaries, they are both wise and brave, and, even more rarely, they also have the magic potential to become a great magician or a high-level priest. In the course of their careers, they were cultivating with martial arts, using their powerful force to eliminate demons and defend the way, and eventually, some of them entered the peak of their lives, and suddenly felt the gospel from the Holy See, and were willing to become the warrior guards of the Holy See, and from that day on, these people began to master a small part of the divine magic. It must be noted that these divine magics are not something that other high-ranking priests can master, but a separate branch, which aims to improve mental power and strength through their own penance, through the killing of their own bodies.
In the Holy See, the Saints are a fairly respected group, and this group is quite small in number, whether they live in beautiful temples or in the wilderness without a single tile to shelter them from the wind and rain, each of them is quite indifferent to glory and wealth, or rather disdainful. They eat only the coarsest food, receive only the clothing necessary for survival, and they are even in a state of "silence" most of the time. There are those who also call Saint Seiya "ascetics". These seemingly inconspicuous ascetics will never enter the center of power of the Holy See in most cases, nor will they become the spokesmen of the Holy See in front of the believers, but in history, the Holy See has suffered major setbacks several times, and it is these saints who have stepped out of the background and taken up their long sword to defend the rights of the Holy See.
Seeing that the four or five Phantom Beast Knights couldn't help the five skeletons in front of them, and even the Saint Seiya mirror image he had just summoned was shattered in just two photos, Saint Johan immediately withdrew from the battle group, and then rushed down to gesticulate, and the temple officer under the steps understood and immediately went down to make arrangements, and immediately, a red flag and a cyan flag rose in the wind.
The Templars on the steps who were fighting to the death noticed the change, and all of them immediately began to use their shields heavily to block the skeletons' attacks, gradually disengaging from the melee as they fought.
"Open!" Saint Johan roared behind the warband.
The knights on the steps threw their swords and quickly retreated to the steps.
The five skeletons were stunned for a moment, only to realize that the steps were already full of archers, and behind the archers were dozens of tall warriors with their heads wrapped in red cloth and shirtless.
"Shoot!"
Hundreds of archers shot their own arrows at the same time, the white feathered arrows screamed like birds and shot up the steps, the five skeletons forgot to dodge, the arrow feathers instantly pierced their bodies, and the white bone foam flew wildly, and in this short moment, the skeletons were shot like haystacks.
Immediately after, a roar erupted behind the archers, and those tall warriors squeezed out, and at the same time threw the short axe in their hands, and the blood-red short axe whizzed through the air and cut through the curves, slashing at the five skeletons, the head and limbs of the largest skeleton were all cut off by the flying axe, and several other skeletons were also cut in the legs, and one fell crookedly.
"Look...... That...... It's Berserker......"
In the crowd of onlookers, someone who knew the goods finally shouted out in a lost voice.
Indeed, it was the Berserker who defeated the five skeletons in one fell swoop!
Berserkers, like elves and other races, do not have a fixed territory. Unlike the elves, they have a nominal king, but in fact, because most of the people in this race are hot-tempered, the king's decrees are not common to all people.
Because of the notoriously destructive nature of Berserkers, most nations have adopted a policy of "staying" against them - that is, they live in a designated place at a designated time and are not allowed to leave at will. Unless, there is a mercenary group above the C level to hire. The state has the right to recruit them when necessary.
These berserkers were not from the Papal See, they were from the continent of Phanos, who had been brought to that distant continent by an imperial orphan many years ago. In the battle on the north bank of the Lion River, after the Western Legion of the Fanos Expeditionary Force witnessed the huge and devastating combat power of the berserkers, all the officers emphasized this point in their debriefing reports to the base camp, and it was finally implemented by the base camp.
But...... As the berserkers cheered, the shattered skeletons stood up again, and the skeleton hand continued to pick up the scattered parts from the ground, and one by one they glued again, and after a few breaths, none of the five skeletons were restored to their original shape. Even those who are as bold as berserkers can't help but be stunned when they look at these immortal monsters in front of them!
"Alas......" The young man sitting on the steps shook his head helplessly: "I really don't understand, what else do you have besides arrogance?"
As he spoke, the boy stood up and looked up at the towering hall and the two statues on both sides of the hall, one on the left and one on the right, 10 meters high.
On the left, there is a statue of a warrior under the Light Temple, His Highness has gray hair and white skin, dark blue pupils, wearing white armor, holding a long sword in one hand, holding a shield in the other, and a silver dragon standing behind him - legend, this dragon is recreated by His Light His Highness in the war with the Otherworld, with resting soil, ice and snow and a wind dragon that died in battle, because it has no life, so it is a hundred times braver than the dragon of ordinary gods, and there is never a trace of timidity in the face of the swarming otherworldly gods.
On the right side, is the statue of the writer under the God of War Palace, the God of War is full of gold, sprinkled on the back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, lion nose and mouth, although holding a laurel branch that symbolizes peace, but, look carefully, you can find that each leaf of the laurel branch is composed of three swords, this statue symbolizes the idea of promoting peace with force under the God of War His Highness. Behind the god of war is a fiery red lion with a pair of wings - legend has it that the fiery lion on the steppe on the north bank of the Lion River is the descendant of this lion.
These two statues did not come out of thin air, to be precise, this is in the ancient period, when the gods and the human world were still connected, the impression left by the gods on mankind, and the warrior statue of the god of light is the deepest impression left by the gods on the allies in the war with the other world.
"Hehe...... "Hehe" the young man's mouth let out a clear laugh, "It seems that the two gods are really powerful." It's just ......" The young man's words suddenly changed, and his tone changed sharply: "Aren't you ashamed to be a god who has died so many people? What is the use of standing here? Since it is useless, why should you stand here?"
Before the words fell, the black-clothed boy rose into the sky like a wild vulture, his figure instantly fell on the head of the statue of the god of war, his left foot stomped lightly, and shot directly to the waist of the god of light on the left, and his right hand held the upper end of the statue's shield, waved the statue like pinching a straw, and smashed it to the ground like slow motion!
With a loud bang, the red dust flew in all directions, the ground rumbled, and in the trembling of the ground, the statue of the god of war fell silently as if it had been piled up with white flour!......
The two idols, the two main deities 10 meters high, were destroyed in this way. Dust to dust, dust to dust!
In the audience, everyone stared blankly at this almost instantaneous incident, and everyone didn't expect that this young man would do such a shocking thing, and no one even had time to stop it.
Between heaven and earth, the black sun and the red sun suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the white clouds became extremely black in an instant......
In front of the main hall of the temple, the invisible air suddenly trembled, and then ...... I don't know what power is coming, and the air gradually distorts, turning everything near and far into a strange place!
