Chapter 384: Black Goat

Wendy raised the sword aloft and slashed the greatsword of light into the window in front of her like a god of war.

In an instant.

The transparent faces that were white in the blue let out a scream, and quickly turned into green smoke under the giant sword of light.

Can be ······

The glass window that was slashed by the Greatsword of Light did not shatter because of this, but more and more transparent faces emerged from it,

The transparent faces struggled frantically, protruding their faces from the glass and walls little by little, as if they wanted to break free from the restraints, and as if they wanted to carry Wendy into hell together.

At the same time, eerie snickering, heart-pounding roars, piercing screams······

All kinds of strange voices mixed together, frantically squeezing into Erin's mind, constantly stirring Erin's nerves, torturing their bodies and minds.

Wendy, who was closest to the face, had a flash of pain on her face.

The various sounds that kept drilling into his ears stimulated his brain and caused him to have a mess in his brain.

"Pacify!"

At this moment, Wendy's chaotic brain suddenly cleared up a lot, and the confusion and pain that filled his brain seemed to be caressed by a gentle breeze, and his ears seemed to hear the tune that his mother hummed softly by the bedside when she was a child, and the familiar melody quickly calmed him down.

This is a "pacification" from Ayryn.

Erin's powerful psychic power can easily deter and hypnotize a person, and of course, it can also quickly soothe a person's emotions.

So.

When he noticed that Wendy's mood was starting to be wrong, Erin directly threw away a "spiritual comfort".

The Pope, who was just about to give Wendy a holy light shelter, saw that Erin took the first step to help Wendy calm down the emotions provoked by the demon.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

But in the next second, when the Pope's eyes glanced at the hideous blue and white faces on the windows and walls, the smile instantly turned cold.

I saw the Pope caress the silver-white cross hanging around his neck, hold it slightly in front of him, and make a prayer gesture.

"Let there be light, says God!"

The next second.

An incomparably clear and brilliant ball of light descended out of thin air, like a small sun, instantly dispelling the darkness and lighting up the entire corridor.

On the surrounding glass, the transparent faces on the walls dissipated before they even had time to scream.

In an instant.

The strange visions in this corridor were swept away.

"Let's go!"

After sweeping away the strangeness on both sides of the corridor, the Pope spoke, as if nothing had happened, and took another step.

Wendy, who was walking at the forefront, saw this, and walked to the forefront again silently.

But it's different from before.

At this time, Wendy had a shining armor of light and a huge sword of light.

Looking at Wendy and the Pope, who seemed to have mastered all of this in front of him.

Erin glanced at the sides of the corridor that had returned to normal, and asked, "Normally, those who are sealed in the depths of the Vatican, surviving for a long time, are also so hospitable?" ”

As soon as Erin's words fell, in the corner that Erin didn't notice, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows opened in vain, as if angered by Erin's words, and its eyes that turned its head to look at Erin were full of extreme resentment.

Well?

After being slightly stunned by Erin's novel words, the Pope shook his head: "Usually those old guys are not so active, otherwise my old bones can't withstand such tossing every day." ”

After saying a word, the Pope also glanced at the depths of the corridor that had once again fallen into darkness, and then continued:

"Maybe the vision that erupted on St. Peter's Basilica during the day today stimulated them, or maybe your arrival made them feel threatened, that's why they are so hospitable tonight······"

Before the Pope's words were finished.

At the moment when Erin and his party passed a white stone pillar, a narrow shadow suddenly emerged from the shadow of the stone pillar, turning into a pitch-black snake shadow the thickness of an arm, silently biting towards Erin's ankle.

"Poof."

The Shadow Serpent's fangs pierced through Erin's bare feet in an instant, and then injected a viscous liquid that looked like venom into Erin's body.

After taking two more steps forward, Erin's body quickly became smaller and thinner, turning into a pitch-black paper figure with his ankles dyed and falling to the ground.

In the next second, wearing a trench coat, as if he had expected this scene, Erin sketched it out from the air not far away.

With a slight lift of his hand, a firebird burning with blazing flames instantly condensed and formed in Erin's palm, and then flapped its wings and exploded the head of the shadow snake with a "peck".

And the firebird that pecked at the shadow snake didn't seem to be satisfied.

With a crisp cry, the firebird with its claws pressed on the Shadow Serpent's body burst into flames, enveloping it and the Shadow Serpent beneath its feet into the scorching flames.

"Zizi Zi !!"

Under the scorching flames, the shadow snake, which seemed to be struggling and growing its head again, struggled in the flames for a while, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke, which was burned clean by the scorching eternal fire.

"It's ······"

The Pope, who was alarmed by the movement behind him, turned to look at the still burning flames, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

When he led people to suppress the movement of the seal before, many people were overshadowed by this silent shadow snake.

Even he was almost killed by a poisonous snake.

It is precisely because of this that he knows better than others the horror of this shadow snake.

The deadly "venom" hidden in the fangs is just that, and the silent killer-like attack is even more unguardable.

And what is even more terrifying is the "vitality" of this shadow snake.

Cutting off one head, and growing two more heads to replace them, is a true portrayal of the Shadow Serpent.

Once, Venti used the Greatsword of Light to dismantle a silver piece into eight pieces, but it didn't take long for those "pieces" to turn into smaller shadow snakes.

In the end, it was he who summoned the Holy Light, and under the illumination of the Holy Light, burned all those shadow snakes that were small to ashes, and completely solved this seemingly inconspicuous little thing.

But even if he did it himself, those little shadow snakes were illuminated by the holy light for seven or eight seconds before turning into ashes.

And this guy, who looked to be bigger than the shadow snake that attacked him before, didn't even survive three seconds under a firebird that Erin casually shot, and was burned into a wisp of green smoke.

He stared at the burning flame for a long time, until Erin reached out and summoned the summoned Eternal Flame back to the [Zhurong Phalange].

Recalling the records he had seen, the Pope said with some uncertainty: "What was that flame just now······ Eternal Flame? ”

Arryn, who heard the voice, turned his head to look at the Pope, smiled slightly, and walked straight behind the two without explaining.

After seeing that Erin didn't have an explanation.

The Pope was also intrigued and didn't ask much.

After turning around and gesturing for Wendy to continue leading the way, the three of them continued to walk deeper into the corridor.

········

"Da ······"

I don't know if it was the strength that the three of them had just burst out that made those demons who had freed some of the seals feel difficult, or if it temporarily deterred them.

For the rest of the way, those weird guys didn't attack the three of them.

Soon, the three of them were in front of the gate at the end of the corridor.

And just when Wendy, who was walking in the front, put her hand on the knocker and wanted to push open the closed door.

The oval knocker suddenly turned into a huge mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth, and bit down Wendy's right hand.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, cracks appeared in the armor on Wendy's body in an instant.

Meanwhile..

The floor, the ceiling, the surrounding walls, and the door in front of them suddenly stood out with hideous faces and pale arms.

In a flash.

All kinds of weird, crazy enough sounds, instantly resounded through the corridor.

And at the moment when Erin and them were affected by the countless sounds, one by one, their miserable white arms rushed to grab the three people's bodies, trying to drag them into the abyss of terror.

"Let there be light, says God!"

As the pale palms grasped the legs of his trousers, the Pope touched the cross on his chest and prayed again.

Immediately after, above the Pope's head, the brilliant light condensed again.

In this holy light that seemed to illuminate all darkness, the miserable white arms and illusory figures quickly dissolved, and even the dozen or so shadow snakes that wanted to take the opportunity to attack Erin and his party through the cover of the miserable white arms were all turned into ashes in this brilliant holy light.

Trails of twisted black ash were left on the ground.

But when the light shines on Wendy.

The shattered armor of light on his body was as if he had taken a perfect tonic, repairing the cracks one by one in order, and turning into a new set of armor of light again.

But after the Pope summoned this holy light that could dispel all darkness, Erin's heart moved, and he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Immediately after, Erin saw a crack open in the closed door in front of Wendy.

"Be careful."

In fact, without Erin's warning, Wendy, who was standing at the door of the gate, noticed that the door in front of him was abnormal.

"Bang!"

His right foot kicked the door in front of him, and he flew out upside down in an instant.

The sword of light in Wendy's hand slashed through the air in an arc, landing on a black shadow squeezing out from behind the door.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound.

The brilliant sword of light, which was invincible to dark creatures, was easily smashed out by a pitch-black hoof.

Before Wendy, who was smashed out, landed, the black shadow that came out from behind the gate "swished" and disappeared in place.

Immediately after, the figure that looked like an upright black goat appeared above Wendy, and then its hooves slammed against Wendy's wall protected by the armor of light.

"Boom!"

Wendy, who was in mid-air, saw the upright black goat, his pupils shrank sharply, and when he raised the giant sword of light in his hand and tried to block, his whole person smashed into the wall behind him with a weapon.

When the upright black goat-like figure wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase and completely solve Wendy.

The Pope reached out and pointed to the little sun above him.

The next moment.

The bright holy light like the little sun exploded violently, erupting with the power of the holy light that was more than ten times more powerful than just now.

The black goat, which was caught off guard by the Pope's hand, suddenly made a sizzling sound along with the black wool like steel needles on its back, along with the flesh on its back, and then rolled down from its back like a melting candle.

In an instant, the back half of its body became bloody.

"Baa ······"

In a painful roar that looked like a sheep but not a sheep, a huge black goat phantom suddenly broke through the holy light in a violent way, and slammed into the Pope with a pair of huge horns full of danger.

Just when Erin, who was not far away, took out the [Dragon Slayer] from the spatial ring and was about to pull the trigger.

Wendy, who had been blasted into the wall by an upright black goat before, suddenly rushed out from the side, and then, with a trace of afterimage, raised the giant sword of light in his hand and slashed at the black goat's phantom.

Boom!

With a dull loud thud.

The aftermath of the collision between Wendy and the black goat phantom shook the entire Papal Palace for a few points.

Listen to the great movement coming from the Papal Palace.

A row of papal knights guarding outside the papal palace immediately clenched their weapons and planned to storm into the palace.

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from the depths of the Papal Palace.

"Get out of here!"

As the shouts rang out, the guards around the Pope's palace instantly recalled Wendy's previous orders.

[No one is allowed to enter the Papal Palace tonight, no matter what sound or movement you hear, without the order of me or the Pope. 】

The voice that seemed to be still echoing in their ears made them frown deeply, but they also forcibly held back the anxiety in their hearts and forcibly stopped.

········

The other side.

In the corridor.

Wendy, who snorted violently, the muscles on his body bulged as if they had blown up, instantly expanding his tall body into a small giant with knotted muscles.

With a suppressed roar in her throat, Wendy, whose eyes were bloodshot, suddenly raised her head towards the eyes of the black goat's phantom and spit out a white holy light that had been condensed to the extreme.

The extremely condensed white holy light was like a sharp sword, with a sharp roar, instantly piercing the void.
