The royal capital, Saint-Fuye, is ten kilometers outside the Privy Cathedral on top of a certain bell tower.

With the distorted ripples of space, Roy and Finaji, who were being pulled by Lathi, rushed out.

"Lord Roy, are you alright?"

Shanica's slightly anxious voice rang out as she saw the blood running down the edge of Roy's gray threaded mask.

As she spoke, Shanica approached quickly, reached out and grabbed Roy's palm, with the light of pure blue magic power, a minute later, the shock in Roy's body completely recovered, and even the sequelae caused by the short opening of the "state of destruction" disappeared.

"I'm fine, a few minor injuries." Roy waved his hand and smiled at Shanica.

The shock damage from colliding with the Temple Pope is only minor, but in comparison, the load damage caused by entering the "Destruction Mode" is greater.

"Really, really...... awesome"

After moving his healed body, Roy couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In fact, the moment before the Pope's attack fell, he was able to open the [Satan's Redemption].

With the "absolute protection" of [Satan's Redemption], it is absolutely impossible for the Pope of the Temple who has not really set foot on the path of the gods to break it.

The reason why he didn't do that was because Roy wanted to try to see if he could fight the Temple Pope after entering the "state of destruction" after his basic physique reached the legendary limit.

And the answer is now obvious.

The gap is still too big.

Based on the legendary extreme physique, after entering the "state of destruction", Roy's combat power has undoubtedly entered the "demigod" level, and he is the kind of real "demigod" who uses the natural power of heaven and earth.

However, even among the demigods, there is a gap.

It can be seen that the natural great witch Finaji entered the realm of "demigods" more than fifty years ago, but was forced back by the Pope of the Temple before the Holy Mountain.

And more than fifty years have passed, although the temple pope is limited by the world, and he is stuck in the great realm and cannot advance an inch, but through the improvement of other levels such as skills, his strength has definitely improved.

In this case, Roy, who has just entered the demigod in terms of combat power, is naturally not the opponent of the Temple Pope.

Admittedly, Roy wasn't at full strength.

[Infinite Desire: God], [Satan's Redemption], and the newly acquired talent [Eternal Paradise Lost] can all increase his strength, but it still can't bring about a qualitative change, at most it will make him hold on to the Temple Pope for a while longer, which is meaningless.

Now he is still far from the strongest person under the gods like the Temple Pope, and there is still a gap in strength.

"Don't sigh, being able to receive a blow from the Pope of the Temple is only a minor injury, for your age, it is already a shocking thing, it can be called a 'miracle'."

Finaji on the side saw the loss "written" on Roy's face, and said angrily. At Roy's age, she was still embarrassed to avoid being chased by the Silver God Punishment Knight.

Shaking his head and cheering up, Roy looked at Lattiyi, who was wearing a palace flag, and asked, "Ms. Lathii, the Temple Pope can also teleport?" ”

"It should be the effect of some kind of taboo or strange thing." Lathi replied, "Did you notice the necklace that the Temple Pope wore around his neck that turned to ashes, that was the effect of that thing?" ”

"In that case, then we're ......," Roy frowned.

The core of their plan lies in the asymmetry of the movement speed between the two sides, and if the Temple Pope can also teleport over long distances, then this battle plan will be meaningless.

"Don't worry." Knowing Roy's concern, Lathi shook his head: "The distance between the royal capital St. Fuye and the holy mountain of Gliexing Province is very far, and the forbidden or strange objects that can be teleported over long distances are extremely precious, no less than A+ grade, if you don't destroy the gods in the temple, the temple pope may not be willing to use them." ”

"Now that he has used it, it is almost impossible to use it again."

"But just in case, we still need to breach the Privy Council as soon as possible."

Listening to Latiyi's words, everyone nodded, and then turned their eyes in the direction of the Privy Cathedral.

From where they are, the Privy Cathedral, which is tens of meters high, can be called "standing out from the crowd" among the buildings, and it is conspicuous and abnormal.

"Let's go!"

The crowd turned into streamers and headed towards the Privy Cathedral.

Ten kilometers away, there is no need to use space teleportation.

In about half a minute, Roy and his party arrived in the air in front of the Privy Cathedral.

At this moment, the Privy Cathedral was shrouded in a pale golden formation, and the heavy metal door was locked.

"It's similar to the formation of the Holy Mountain Mountain Protection Array', but the power is lower, but if you want to break it, it will take a lot of effort."

The Duke of the Frontier explained.

"Leave it to me." At the same time as Roy spoke, he took a step forward, and the A+ level forbidden object-Demon Breaking Bow appeared in his hand, the string opened the full moon, and the pitch-black energy condensed into an arrow, and as Roy let go, there was a "buzz", and the string trembled, leaving a straight black thin line in the air.

"Bang!"

A crisp crumbling sound sounded, and the formation of the Privy Council was shattered in response to the sound, turning into a rain of light in the sky.

Roy put down the pitch-black longbow in his hand, he could feel that the two successive "priceless" uses had weakened the "origin substance" of this A+ level forbidden item, and if it continued like this, at most a few more times, the Demon Breaker Bow might even fall to the A+ level.

"Blindly taking, without paying, is it really not good......

Roy thought so to himself, and at the same time put the Demon Breaker Bow into the spatial ring.

As the formation shattered, the Privy Council completely unveiled in front of the five.

"Let's go!"

The Duke of the Frontier let out a low cry and took the lead in turning into a red gold streamer and rushing towards the Privy Council.

Roy, Finagi, Lathi, and Shanica didn't hesitate and followed.

Without the protection of the formation, the metal gate was simply unable to resist the entry of the five people.

"Boom!"

With a bang, the metal gate split apart, and five streamers rushed into the door at the same time.

The huge hall of the church is empty except for the splendid decorations.

Because they knew the internal structure of the Privy Cathedral in advance, the five of them did not pause, and after entering the Privy Cathedral, they headed towards the entrance of the underground space.

However, after entering the underground passage, the five soldiers split into two ways.

Roy, on his side, continued to follow Finaki's team, plus the new member Latiyi, as the vanguard. The Frontier Duke and Shanica were hidden under the influence of the A+-level forbidden object taken out by the Frontier Duke, the Veil of Night.

The two teams continued to advance deep underground, one bright and one dark.

The candles on the stone wall kept passing from both sides, and after a while, everyone's eyes lit up, and they rushed out of the passage and reached the underground space.

But what made Roy's brow frown was that there was still no one here.

The huge underground space, quiet, looks particularly dead and desolate.

The black wooden crosses that were originally scattered and bound to the witches have all been changed in location.

They were moved into a terrifying formation built from twelve hundred-meter metal pillars, and they could be faintly observed through the pale golden curtain.

"You have to break this circle."

Finaji said in a deep voice.

Although everyone was solemn about the changes in this place, they were not too surprised.

Since the temple already knew that it had been discovered, it would inevitably make certain arrangements.

"I'll do it." Roy took out the Demon Breaker Bow again, ignoring the "pleading" emotions that came with the taboo object.

The bow opened the full moon and the black arrow broke through the air, but the demon-breaking bow that could easily shatter the "Liumingtang Light Array" encountered Waterloo this time.

The pitch-black arrows paused on the surface of the formation, bringing up one violent ripple after another.

Obviously, in the face of this unprecedented "Twelve Bases" formation, even the A+-level taboo Demon Breaking Bow and Arrow, which is dedicated to breaking defenses and shields, began to be powerless.

Witnessing this scene, Roy's eyes flashed with coldness, and his hands kept moving, pulling the bowstring four times in succession, and shooting four pitch-black arrows again, falling in the same place as the first arrow.

At the same time, Finaki was not idle.

Realizing that it would be impossible to break through the magic circle with the power of the Demon Breaking Bow alone, she immediately struck.

She threw a spike-like object and landed exactly where the five arrows were.

The next moment, a terrifying explosion rose into the sky.

The power of the five arrows in one and the explosion of the stabbing ball set off huge waves on the surface of the formation, and finally, with the crisp sound of "click", the huge formation began to collapse.

The light points in the sky drifted away, losing the cover of the golden light mask, and the scene in the formation was clearly displayed in the eyes of everyone.

Roy's pupils contracted for a moment.

He saw that the witches who were transferred to the black wood cross in the formation, on their left heart and chest, there was a blood hole that was transparent from front to back, and the heart inside disappeared, and their skin became shriveled and thin, as if the essence of the whole body had left with the "witch's heart" that had been removed.

Looking forward, in Roy's eyes, at the center of the formation, on the cross that was far higher than the other blackwood crosses, the witch with her head hanging low and her black hair scattered, her left heart and chest was also empty, and the witch's heart in it was nowhere to be seen.

On the ground, the viscous blood color formed a complex and strange huge formation, and in the center of it, a huge flesh heart was like life, breathing, expanding, and contracting.

"Maina !!"

A voice of grief and anger sounded, and the Duke of the Border, who was looking directly at this scene, rushed out of the hidden state of the "Veil of Night", came to the edge of the large black wooden cross, and brought down the witch who had lost her life on it.

During the whole process, the huge flesh and blood heart in the center of the formation did not show the slightest abnormality, but the speed of beating was more violent.

Feeling the vitality of his wife in his arms, the enraged Duke of the Frontier threw a punch, and the terrifying and incomplete rule power belonging to the demigods descended in an instant, causing the temperature of the place to rise sharply.

In mid-air, dozens of meters of fists that were bright and crystalline, like red lotus crystals, slammed down, accurately hitting the flesh and blood heart that was beating sharply below.

"Boom-"

The Frontier Duke's punch showed unparalleled power control, except for the bottom of the fist, the rest of the place was not affected by the force.

After throwing a punch, the Duke of the Frontier didn't check the results, turned into a streamer, flew back to the side of Roy and the others, and looked at Shanica with Qiji's gaze: "Miss Shanica, Maina she, she ......"

Shanika's face was serious, she reached out to the center of Maina's eyebrows, closed her eyes and concentrated on perception, and after a second, she opened her eyes and said happily: "The time of death is more than twenty hours, but it has not been more than a day, it can be saved." ”

Hearing this, the Duke of the Frontier breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

can make a demigod knight sweat, which shows how nervous the border duke was just now.

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Cherishing Maina to Shanica, the Duke of the Frontier turned to the ground where he had just smashed his fist with a cold gaze.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and a huge flesh heart with cracks on the surface appeared in everyone's eyes.

However, after being hit by the angry demigod of the Duke of the Border, this huge flesh heart was only cracked on the surface, and it remained intact overall.

"Be careful, this thing's case, it's weird."

The voice of the Duke of the Border just sounded, and a violent "dong dong" sound appeared in everyone's hearts.

Along with the sound, there was a massive explosion of flesh and blood hearts shattered on the surface.

Within a radius of 100 meters centered on the huge flesh heart, a rain of blood fell from the sky, converging on the ground into a dark red and deep lake of blood.

A figure stood quietly above the blood lake.

His hair was bloody, his skin was firm and smooth, full of life, only the key parts of his body were wrapped in rags, he tilted his head slightly, and his hands were spread out, as if embracing his new life.

"You're a step too late."

"I have completed my God-given evolutionary ......"

"Bretton Soros, I couldn't kill you in the last battle, so I, who is now a new student, will draw a perfect end."

The blood-haired figure stiffly and strangely lowered its head, its scarlet eyes full of black lines meeting the eyes of the Duke of the Border.

"It's you?!"

"Chief Divine Punishment, Knight of the Eternal Wind Oak Hughes?" The Duke of Frontier's eyes shook with disbelief.

The chief of divine punishment who was dying in his memory was like a young man in his twenties at this moment, full of vitality all over his body.

"Harnessing the power of pollution to restore the youthfulness of the organism?" Finaji on the side saw the clue and said coldly: "God-given evolution, that's it?" ”

"Hehe......" The Chief of Divine Punishment chuckled, "How can you inferior mortals understand the greatness of the gods?" ”

"Knight of the Eternal Wind, Oak Hughes?"

"In contrast, I prefer the name you call my freshman: the Grand Duke of Flesh."

"Celebrate my birth with the bloom of your blood!"

As the words fell, the scarlet light centered on the Divine Punishment Chief, no, should be called the Grand Duke of Flesh and Blood, radiating wildly in all directions, and in an instant, the entire underground space turned into a sea of scarlet blood.
