Chapter 58: The End
Dawn......
Wayne looked at the end of the sacred ribbon of light of dawn and saw Melbert standing out of thin air above the Krims Cathedral.
Under the triangular brim, there is still the half-mask with mysterious patterns, the slender figure is sacred and natural, and the black cloak behind him is like wings fluttering in the wind.
A cross sword in his hand pointed far away, "Claire......"
Like a whisper in his ear, his voice was clearly transmitted here.
Wayne's face changed slightly, and it seemed that Melbell's strength was stronger than he thought.
He remembered that the last time he was in the church, it was also this "sacred" light, but it was an enclosed space after all, and he only felt that it was very dazzling.
And now, the same attack forms a dazzling band of light, spanning a distance of several kilometers, killing those golems......
"Melbell," Claire's figure appeared on the roof next to her, looking in the direction of Krims Cathedral, gritting her teeth:
"Damn bastard, it's you again, you've been chasing me since Crand, and you've even chased Custer."
Her voice was no longer calm, and her tone was full of surprise and irritation.
"On it!"
Lacey glanced up, "Wayne, stay here and don't move. β
As she spoke, she grasped the handle of the axe in both hands, crouched down on her legs, jumped up violently, and ejected, landing on the roof opposite Claire in an instant.
Wayne: "Hmm. β
Don't move, I definitely don't move.
All of them are so strong, only fools can make up for it.
Thinking about it, but he kept moving his hands, holding the idea that if he couldn't hit it, he would break the other party's teeth, and kept stuffing bullets into the musket.
"Huh? It's gone? β
After loading the bullets, Wayne looked up at the church, where Melbel was gone.
Before he could find someone, he heard an indifferent voice above him: "Dawn." β
You are within Melbert Osiris's attack range of the power of faith at dawn. Comment: I advise you to find a corner to stay. Reward: +3 Survival Points. γ
A red hint came to mind.
Wayne secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly rushed to the storefront next to him and hid behind the wall.
Then, I saw a dazzling light outside flash, reflecting the entire store in an incandescent light.
Hiss.
Immediately afterward, a grinding sound like a sharp sword slashing through steel resounded through the streets of Dumitru.
"Melbell!!" Claire's voice was even more annoyed.
"Chop."
"Ahh
Hiss.
"Damn, don't spoil here." Lacey's shouting followed.
Wayne looked out the window and saw Lacey holding a two-handed axe, standing in front of Melbell with a solemn face.
But the thousand-faced Claire was gone.
The roof on which she was standing...... No, to be precise, the former roof, along with the buildings below, has been reduced to rubble.
The entire building was cut diagonally and split in two.
He even saw several blood-sprayed bodies fall to the ground along with the building.
Wayne's eyes widened, "So ruthless??" β
It seems that yesterday in the church, Melbert did not use his sword against him, and he was already merciful.
Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have been cold by now.
"Bastard."
Then he was amazed to see Lacey rush forward with her axe, and the huge two-handed axe turned into an afterimage, and fought Melbel fiercely.
Bang, bang......
"Damn bastard, you, as a clergyman of the Church of the Dawn, have killed so many civilians!"
Melbel looked at the furious Lacey calmly, and said lightly, "Dawn will forgive me and redeem them." β
He was still hanging in the air, but he didn't take the initiative to attack, and the cross sword in his hand was handed out every time, only to fend off the axe's attack.
Obviously, Lacey is no match for Melbell, at least in terms of strength.
"Lacey, stop!"
At this moment, a high-ranking member in the red uniform of the secret department shouted into the air.
Wayne had an impression of him, the tall, muscular man who sat yesterday to the left of Deputy Director BalatsβDolf Andrea.
According to what Marko said yesterday, he is also a high-ranking commissioner in charge of the warhead, and he is very powerful.
"Lord Dolph, he-" Lacey still didn't give up, swinging her axe harder with both hands.
"Let's talk about it first." Dolph interrupted, "Do you want the council and the city guard to see the joke?" β
Bang.
As the final blow was blocked by the cross sword, Lacey retreated with an ugly face, gritted her teeth and jumped in front of Dolph, bowed slightly, and stood aside without saying a word.
At this time, the entire Dumitru neighborhood was surrounded by hundreds of city guards armed with spears.
On the other side, two groups of clerics of the Church of the Dawn were equally in line, one in silver-white armor and the other in golden robes.
In the middle of the two sides is a group of innocent civilians implicated in the battle, scattered stumps, blood sprayed everywhere, and the remains of damaged buildings.
And the crowd around them who had just escaped the catastrophe also relaxed when they saw the Dawn Church and the city guards arriving, and looked at the corpses one by one with sad expressions.
Maybe there are their relatives, friends, lovers...... But at this time, they can't and dare not speak.
Dolph glanced around solemnly, took a deep breath and said, "I'm Dorf Andrea, the secret secretary, and I ask the city guards to clear this place first." β
"Yes, sir."
One of the city guards stepped out, saluted him, and led his men to carry the corpses on the ground to the periphery one by one, and then asked the onlookers to identify them one by one and make a post-battle record.
"Who knows what's going on here?" Dolph asked again.
Lacey pursed her lips, "It's the Thousand-Faced Claire of the Eternal Society, and she attacked our One's Wayne. β
"The man who attacked our secret department?"
"Yes, sir."
"Reason."
"It should be the last ghetto mission." Lacey's voice was lowered, not wanting anyone else to hear it.
Dolph nodded, "You don't have to worry about this matter. β
Then he looked at the clergy of the Church of Dawn and said in a loud voice: "The crisis is over, please leave the Dawn first, and we will explain the situation to Bishop Andrews later." β
Melbel in mid-air held her head high, and the corner of her eye stared at everything below, and after hearing his words, she disappeared straight into place.
The two groups of clergy of the Church of the Dawn also left with them, not uttering a word the whole time.
"He-"
Lacey had been keeping an eye on Melbell, and was about to open his mouth when he saw him leaving, but was interrupted by Dolph in front of him reaching out his hand: "Captain Lacey, don't do anything superfluous." β
"But ......"
"No, but!"
Dolph glared at her sideways, "Don't forget your duty, the battle here is not something you can meddle in the investigation department, what you have to do is to record and report everything that happened here." Also,"
"The Secret Investigation Department has a special external department, don't ignore the existence of the 'suing the dead', understand?"
"I see, Lord Dolph."
Lacey said no more, bowed her head and turned to walk towards the Secret Division.
Obviously, with the strength of the Secret Investigation Division, it is unrealistic to want to pursue the Church of the Dawn......
