"Contraindications...... Coffin...... Unblocked! ”

"Hee-ha-ha-ha-ha......"

Ales looked at the coffin in front of him like a work of art, dozens of sparkling sapphires were revealed on the silver-white box, and the twisted and complex patterns were connected to the coffin lid at the top with these sapphires as nodes, connecting with the starry sky pattern.

"It's so beautiful," Ales stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the coffin, "this is the ...... that can bring me back to life"

The malice around him seemed to respond to his joy, and countless tiny black lightning bolts slowly spread throughout the confessional, and even pierced beyond the church, faintly wanting to hook up with the extreme malice that slipped from the sky and slashed into the army of priests.

Smack.

Old Jack waved his hand to arrange an energy shield to resist the tiny lightning bolts, and a touch of pain flashed across his face.

Too many people died tonight......

Seventeen years ago, with the acquiescence of Bishop Andrews, Old Ernst coerced some of the top officials of the Council of Nobles and the Council to design the elimination of the Secret Division, with the aim of making Ales bow his head and compromise.

As they had hoped, the Secret Division suffered a heavy blow and Ales was mortally wounded, leaving him to take the protection of the city-state's consul, Samir Starnik.

What they don't know is that Ales has been determined to liquidate all ...... since then

Old Jack knew all this.

But he still couldn't let go of the catastrophe that had befallen the city-state of Caster, the tragic deaths of countless ordinary people, the suffering of the aristocracy, the decline of the Parliament, and the overthrow of the dawn.

Thinking of this, Old Jack gently placed Claire's body on the oak table behind him, looking at her intact head and feet, and her twisted body that had been squeezed dry by the great force.

"Want to start?"

"Of course, of course." Ales turned around, a strange and dark smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, his hand still resting on the coffin, "Wait until Tina, after they defeat the army of the priesthood......"

"Hmm."

"Let's go, it's time to go to the last place......"

Old Jack sighed softly and followed him out of the confessional.

……

……

"Damn, why, why did he get here?"

Baron Seth looked in horror at the corpses scattered all over the place, nobles, city guards, and shadow killers, all of whom had their heads separated from their bodies, and even a big smile on their faces, the corners of their mouths reaching the root of their ears, as if they were welcoming death with joy.

"Hmph, I'm an old crazy woman, I don't sleep all night, and I beat the black flower drum in one hand......"

"Hmph, hey, the sun is a squinting eye, swaying all day long, causing fire and causing the ground to sink ......"

"Ouch, Storm is a horse and a worm, hooking up with the dead, and laying cubs one by one......"

And the abominable clown, humming a nasty ballad with light dance steps, threw out the head he was carrying in his hand as if he was tired of playing.

Baron Seth only felt trembling all over, both fear of the forbidden being out of control and fear that their calculations might be in vain.

"Earl, yes, Lord Count Ernst, he must have expected it a long time ago, go!"

With that, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the council hall.

The same is true of the other nobles who survived, eager to stay away from that damn out-of-control taboo.

"Hee-hee-ha, I'm homesick too, Tina......"

The clown laughed as he approached the Krems Cathedral, where he saw the clergy glowing with golden light, laughed even louder, and even waved at them in a seemingly friendly manner.

"The show was wonderful, the audience loved it, they all liked it, and you enjoyed it too...... Hee-ha-ha-......"

In the eyes of the clown, everything around him is the scope of the theater, he just runs from one stage to another, and the audience naturally changes batch after batch.

"Praise the dawn, bless the light and send down the ......"

The priests in the square outside the church were still bursting with all their faith, praying that the Lord of Dawn would descend and expel the terrifying figure on the other side.

But as the clowns approached, the clergy at the front were shocked to find that they couldn't speak, couldn't move, couldn't even turn their eyes to check the danger around them, and could only stand in place, desperately welcoming the arrival of black lightning.

Thundered!

The collision of black lightning and golden light unleashed a furious tornado, spreading out the corpses of the clergy who had been manipulated by the clown and killed by lightning.

"Huh?!"

"Be careful!!"

The clergy in the rear, especially the ascetics standing in the middle, saw the large number of dead people in front of them, as well as more and more guardian knights who stood still and lost the protection of the dawn light, and hurriedly shouted: "A strange force has appeared!" ”

"Is that the one, a clown dressed man?"

In the crowd, there were also clergymen who had seen the clown get out of control before, and after seeing the figure jumping in the distance, overlapping with the figure in the terrifying scene in his memory, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's the loss of control of the taboo!" ”

"Out of control?!"

"Everyone, back off, be careful not to scatter!"

"Stay away, stay away, we must not be approached by him, or we will all die!"

Seeing that the team of priests to which Dawn belonged, they took one step back in unison, two steps......

However, their movement did not affect the chanting of the praise in their mouths, and the dawn light above them smoothly followed them away from the demon clown.

But it's clear that this is just a slow death.

More and more clerics were affected by the clown's loss of control, struck by the black lightning that fell from the clouds, the power of faith dissipated, their eyes lost their lustre, and their bodies turned a corpse-white color, standing straight in place.

Seeing this, the army of clergy moving behind was filled with despair and wanted to escape from the confines of the Krems Cathedral.

"Hold on, don't mess around, believe in the Dawn Blessing, believe in Bishop Andrews, and believe that Her Majesty Carly will come to the rescue!"

The commanders in the priesthood shouted loudly and encouraged all.

The auxiliary members at the back also released the power of faith from time to time, condensing on the guardian knights and ascetics in front, and the warm dawn light instantly dispelled the fear, hesitation and other negative emotions in their hearts.

"The night will pass, but the dawn will live forever......"

Only the demon clown saw the corpse in the square, his face showing a little dissatisfaction, his big red nose wrinkled into the middle of his eyes, and he stared viciously at the priesthood who kept retreating.

"Where's my audience?!"

"Keep the audience for me, all, no, even one!!"

"Damn it, you-uh, it's okay......"

The clown noticed the huge phantom in the air and focused on him, and his body subconsciously shrunk and muttered a few words in Gonzare.

The giant phantom looked at the strange posture of the demon clown, and a sneer appeared on his face, "The dignified Turing Empire...... Be a clown, you're there, Arnold. ”

Faintly hearing the voice, the clown quickened his steps a few times, chasing after the priests.

"Tina, homesick......"

And the girl in mid-air did not pay attention to all this, her eyes were always fixed on the Krims Cathedral.

As the clergy retreated, she was also pulled into the plaza by the black lightning, and the surrounding subsidence and lava spread to the bottom of the cathedral.

But under the resistance of some force, the cathedral that had stood for an unknown number of years was still intact, and there was not even a trace of shock.

Gradually, Tina seemed impatient with this, and for the first time waved her hands, pulling out several black lightning bolts that attacked the clergy army and slashed down towards the cathedral.

Whew——

But the moment those lightning bolts touched the walls, a layer of divine light emerged over the church.

The phantom behind Tina, with her huge eyes staring at the Krims Cathedral, seemed to see through the scene inside, the prayer hall, the empty confessional, the devout people hiding deep beneath the church, and the ...... of the chapel

"Lord of the Dawn ......"

When the phantom saw the statue in the chapel, he seemed to pout his lips in disdain, and raised his hands, and the terrifying power of calamity came from the void, turning into black lightning and condensing on the white-haired and black-eyed girl.

“…… Despair, darkness ......"

A Gonzales voice, with terrifying malice, blessed those lightning bolts, forming black lines on Tina's face one after another, and finally at the center of her eyebrows, a mark with countless twisted and complex lines slowly emerged.

Tina stared calmly at a certain part of the cathedral, and muttered, "Calamity, I am Calamity...... Ominous body, the shadow of the overturning world, brother, I may ...... Can't go back......"

The voice dissipated, and the mark was deeply imprinted on the center of her brow—black lines twisted and overlapped everything like lightning, forming a vertical pupil-like pattern.

"Calamity's Eyes, Giggles......"

Seeing her appearance, the huge phantom couldn't help but smile on his face, and a silver bell-like laugh resounded throughout the city-state of Custer.

The terrifying malice spread outward from the center of the church, and the entire city-state began to shake, and cracks appeared, as if to swallow Karst whole.

The sky was darker, and the red moon that had loomed was gone, and the entire city-state became even darker, except for candles and the glow of the magma gushing out.

"God Forbidden Era, it's ironic—"

For the first time, Tina's face changed emotionally, from calm to completely cold, as if she didn't take it for granted what was happening around her, her hands danced, and the lightning wings behind her turned into long black whips, sweeping towards the Krims Cathedral, and a bright shadow flashed in those black eyes, which seemed to be a fluffy doll.

"Tina...... I miss home. ”

She swung her lightning whip and slammed it down on the cathedral again and again, weakening the divine brilliance on it, and from time to time some of the walls fell off and the heavy stones dissipated into powder.

By this time, the army of clergy who had resisted her had long since left the confines of the church, and their faces were full of despair, as if they were foreseeing the cathedral in ruins under the power of the little girl.

"Dawn, please help us ......"

"Dawn, pray that you will send down the ...... of light"

"Dawn!"

Guardian knights, ascetics, and auxiliary priests pray for miracles.

"Dawn? He was so busy, how could he care about you? Come and see a show, let me put on a great show for you, hee-hee-ha-ha......"

The demon clown still chased after them, as if he wanted to turn them all into qualified spectators and watch his theater performance.

He snapped his fingers in his left hand, and his body suddenly appeared next to several immobilized guardian knights, the short knife in his hand slashing through their necks, and the other hand holding the head of one of them steadily.

"Don't move, don't move, your head is going to fall off......"

Under the desperate eyes of the guardian knight, the clown looked like his hands were shaking accidentally, and took off his head, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll put it back for you, I ......"

Poof.

He watched these guardian knights lie down weakly, their heads rolling out of the distance, and his face couldn't help showing an expression of chagrin, holding the head with both hands, face to face, and said apologetically: "You, you shouldn't resent me, right?" ”

"God, please send down God to kill that infidel!"

"He, damn it!"

“……”

Without Tina's restraint, the glow on the heads of the clergy was no longer maintained, and they glared at the chilling appearance of the demon clown, and one by one they wanted to shave him.

"Holy!"

"Dawn!"

"Purify!"

Dawn light shot at the clown, trying to purify him entirely.

Although they all knew that the power of faith or supernatural power was unlikely to have an effect on the forbidden substance, the sacrifice of their companions at this time made them only want to vent the anger in their hearts.

"Oh? It's a beautiful light, it's interesting, and it will look great if you use it to decorate the theater......"

The clown narrowed his eyes, his mouth grinning again, a terrifying grin, and the distance between him and the priest as he danced.

Anyone who came near him was irresistibly decapitated and turned into a corpse.

"Sacrifice!"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in front of everyone, and a huge black sword light was seen slashing towards the clown.

"Huh?"

The clown noticed the attack, his blood-red eyes flashed suddenly, and for the first time he dodged the attack, avoiding the slash and staring at the people who were coming.

"Sacrifice...... It's really impressive......"

I saw Carly's figure appear in front of the priesthood, the black two-handed sword in her hand in front of her.

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty the Virgin-in-Waiting?"

"Your Majesty Carly!"

When all the clergy saw her figure, their faces were filled with joy, as if they saw hope.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Carly looked back at the Guardian Knight, who had suffered heavy casualties behind her, "Leave the rest of the battle to me, but I need your help......"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I need some," Carly bowed her head slightly, a smile on her lips, "take the initiative to return to the embrace of Dawn!" ”

"Regression?"

"This sacrifice?"

All the clerics couldn't believe their ears, and looked at Carly in front of them, feeling for the first time that this Saint-in-Waiting's crown was unfamiliar.

Returning on the initiative is not a voluntary sacrifice?

"I don't understand, Your Majesty, why?" In the crowd, the leader of the guardian knights in heavy armor asked in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, but someone had to sacrifice in order to gain the power to defeat the enemy."

"This ......" The Knight Commander looked at the priests around him hesitantly, voluntary sacrifice and passive death were two different things, especially at such an unclear time.

"Hee-hee-ha-ha...... Isn't the so-called sacrifice the sacrifice of everything you poor creatures have to the dawn? The clown held out a finger and laughed, "It's a sacrifice that includes your lives and beliefs." ”

"Is that so? Under the crown? ”

Hearing his words, the faces of all the clerics changed slightly, could such a strange ability be the ability in the Dawn belief system?

"Yes!" Carly nodded coldly, "Dedicate everything, sacrifice everything, in order to rekindle the glory of dawn!" ”

This is the power of the holy woman she realized, sacrifice, dedication, and perhaps the word dawn in front of it.

"Decide, if you don't want to, then withdraw from Cust, the Krims Cathedral is going to fall......"

"I do!" The Guardian Knight Commander, glanced around, his eyes stopped at the thousands of corpses of the Guardian Knight in front of him who were killed by the Joker and Tina, and said in a deep voice: "If I can protect everyone, I am willing to sacrifice!" ”

"I do, too!"

"And my ......"

In the distance, the smile on the clown's face remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated the choice of these Dawn Church believers, "It's really a touching scene, I don't know if that bastard from Orpheus will jump out happily if he finds out." ”

"But, come on, come on, the stage is set, just for you lovely audience. Hmm, a show with a sacrifice theme...... Nice idea! ”

Ignoring the Joker's taunts, Carly turned to look at the clerics and nodded, "Trust me, I will lead you to victory over all enemies. ”

In fact, even though she only grasped part of the power of authority, she could still choose any of the Dawn priesthoods to dedicate to the Great Dawn.

Originally, Carly didn't have to explain this, but she still wanted to see what choice the Dawn believers would make, whether they would choose to escape, or choose to die to fight off evil like the teacher......

"Time is running out, after knocking him back, we need to quickly rescue the worshippers in the church, and then evacuate the city-state of Custer, what is happening here is beyond our capabilities......"

"It's up to your majesty to decide!"

With Carly's Saint-in-Waiting, these priests seem to have found their hearts, and even if they have to sacrifice some people's lives, they still feel at ease.

Carly didn't hesitate any longer, brandishing her black greatsword and charging towards the Joker.

There was no golden brilliance on her body, only a layer of black like catastrophic lightning, but if you looked closely, there was a faint hint of blood red in the black.

"Hee-hee-ha-ha...... It's coming, it's coming, it's amazing, I'm looking forward to this performance......"

The Joker stood on tiptoe and turned lightly, his body appearing behind Carly, his back to her and the short knife in his hand stabbed out lightly.

Poop!

Carly pulled back sideways, her greatsword blocking the short sword, and the black light on her body pulled out a small black line, taking the life of a priest in the back.

Her strength is far less than that of the Joker, but with the help of some of her authority, absorbing the life sacrifices of the clergy, she temporarily has the power to compete with the Joker.

After a short pause, a flash of excitement flashed on the clown's face, and his eyes widened.

Because, he had seen the sights of the priests in the distance—all watching them fight, no, perform.

"That's what it feels like, that's what it feels like, looking at me, stopping for me, and letting me put on this amazing show, it's amazing......"

Oooo......oo

The clown's body trembled, his hands turned into afterimages, and his steps strangely circled around Carly, drawing a series of sword lights with cold killing intent.

"Sacrifice!"

Carly wielded her black sword with her hands awkwardly, barely resisting the Joker's attacks, and also absorbing the power of authority and growing rapidly.

But almost every time he resisted the dagger, he took the life of a priest. In just a few seconds, dozens of clergymen had lowered their heads with their hands down, their eyes closed forever.

"The night will pass, but the dawn will live forever......"

The priests looked solemn, and despite the occasional sacrifice of their companions, they still sang the hymns of dawn with expressionless faces, calmly watching the battle between Carly and the Joker, as if they were really watching a wonderful performance.

"Great, that's what I want to feel, that's what it is—"

The clown spoke incoherently excitedly, and with the swing of the short knife, his left leg took a step forward, and his right leg took a strange step backwards, and the two clowns were separated.

"Wonderful show! Hip hop! ”

The two clowns slashed at Carly at the same time, four daggers slashing out lines of light that surrounded her.

Scars began to appear on Carly's body, and bits of blood stained her gown, which represented the virgin candidate, and she could barely resist the Joker's attacks with a large sword.

"Dawn, sacrifice!"

As she solemnly shouted this sacred word, the black light on her body instantly turned into hundreds, taking away the lives of hundreds of priests, and the black big sword swelled a few points suddenly, and a blood-red line extended from the hilt to the tip of the sword, as if opening a blood groove for the big sword.

"The Light of Consecration!"

Carly let out a loud shout and swung her new greatsword at one of the clowns, the black threads that twisted back into her body and bound the clowns behind her.

In an instant, the situation was turned around!

"Oh?"

The clown stared at the broadsword, but did not dodge, allowing it to slash through his body, splitting him in two. But the strange thing is that there is no bloodstain, the two halves of the body jump to the side, and two voices appear in everyone's ears.

"Hee...... Magic - Human Body Cutting! ”

Immediately afterwards, the two halves of the clown's body each formed a new body, and a clone was separated again, and together with the clown who was tied by black wire, three clowns appeared in the field.

"Hoo ......"

Carly watched them, her heart faintly becoming agitated, she could feel the struggle of the black lines behind her, and she believed that in a few moments, the clown who was bound by her would break free.

The clown also stopped, and the two clones bowed slightly and saluted around, "Thank you all for watching, don't go away, the wonderful show continues." ”

"Hee-hee-ha-ha-......"

"Pray for the light of dawn to come ......"

For a moment, the entire Suit Avenue reverberated with the shrill laughter of the clowns, the magnificent hymns of the clergy, and the darker glow of Carly's body.

And on the roof of a low house not far away, Euan silently looked at Carly, "Carly......"

It's good that she's grown up.

……

……

Meanwhile, in the corner of the square, Old Jack and Ales looked at the corpses of the priests and silently counted them.

"One thousand, two thousand, three thousand...... It should be almost, Ales. ”

Old Jack looked up in the direction of the church, "You put that doll in the church?" ”

"Hmm."

Ales nodded, the malicious lightning on his body had disappeared, his hair had completely turned silver-white, his face was much older than before, and his body was leaning to support the red uniform that represented the director of the secret department.

"No wonder......," Old Jack shook his head and turned to look at him, "Let's begin, in a little while, the battle over there will be over." ”

"Okay,"

Ales dragged his weakened body to the resurrection coffin step by step, pushed open the lid on the top, turned over and fell into the coffin, and then he stretched out his right hand to squeeze out the last of his strength, and a flash of lightning flashed, piercing his heart and taking away the last trace of his life.

"Excuse me...... Jack ......"

Old Jack silently pushed the lid of the coffin up, reaching out for a trace of extraordinary power, activating the nebula pattern on the top of the coffin.

A dazzling light soared into the sky in an instant!

"As you said, resurrection is to break through all darkness, Ales......"

There's another chapter, it's late, don't wait.

(End of chapter)
