Chapter 133: Hell Holds the Sword
As the largest sect organization in the Western Regions, the [Holy Sect Army] is the opposite of the Xigu Sect in the Eastern Continent, and acts unscrupulously driven by faith.
In the history of the Holy Cult Army, Garbo has also appeared before three life hunters.
All three of them are well-known, and the first person to be discovered is the Red Dragon Grand Pope - Gangdu XII.
Rigidity has been the most devout believer since childhood, and at the age of twenty he received the papal scepter, crowned with a robe, and crowned with a holy crown. The first time people discovered his hidden true face was because a large number of holy relics were missing from the Holy See, and several presiding inquisitors in charge of the inventory died overnight, and even the whole body could not be left.
Following the trail of blood spilled along the way, the people traced it to the prayer room and found that it was Gangdu XII himself who was hiding inside. At that time, he was no longer a human being, and the massive potential in his body finally reached an indigestible peak, causing qualitative changes from the inside to the outside caused by quantitative changes.
That's how the title of "Red Dragon Grand Pope" came about, and in that massacre, Gangdu single-handedly destroyed almost the entire Inquisition and the Holy Warrior Order. When his new body broke free from his skin in blood and appeared in front of everyone like a red dragon flapping its wings, even the most determined warrior could not help but tremble.
"Let the world burn!" Rigidity laughed maniacally and rushed out of the Holy See and flew towards the Floating City.
The shocking changes of that year have been spread throughout the Western Regions to this day, and since the continent and the floating city are two worlds, no one knows what happened after Gangdu XII flew there. Since then he has disappeared and never been seen again.
Among the many versions, the most widely circulated one is that Rigidity was killed by the domain powerhouses on the floating city, and he was crushed to death.
But others say that he has found a spatial portal to the source.
The second life hunter is the Ascetic.
As the most devout members of the Holy Army, most of these masochists are guilty of sin, and some of them feel that their faith is insufficient. Those who are willing to do penance.
Wear the most tattered clothes, sleep in the hardest bed, eat the most tasteless food, and pray every day except for prayer. Many ascetics don't even talk to people all year round, as if the walking dead are hidden under the empty robes.
Eminem is one such special being, who has rolled up a monstrous wave of blood after his disappearance for thousands of years. It was also because of the theft of holy relics, and then the killing was launched.
The ascetics' bodies are extremely weak, and Eminem's strength and agility erupted in the face of the holy warriors who came to clear them. In that battle, the temple pillar that he broke headlong has not been repaired, and the horror left on the entire Holy Cult continues to this day.
After Eminem easily broke out of the encirclement, he said, "It's too late." β
Gone without a trace.
Like Gangdu XII, he has not seen this ascetic until today, and he is like a sudden nightmare. Silently disappeared from people's memory.
The third Hunter was none other than Garbo's mother, a paladin named Alan.
In the Holy Army, marriage and childbearing are allowed. Shortly after Alan gave birth to Garbo, her husband, who was also a paladin, was killed in a demon hunt, leaving the mother and daughter to suffer in this world.
Garbo has shown an amazing talent for occult martial arts since she was a child, and is regarded as the rising star of the Holy Warriors, and even the Pope pays great attention to her.
When her mother committed suicide, Garbo had just turned five years old.
This age should be childlike and innocent. But for Garbo, the sunshine of the whole world completely dimmed on that day.
She was told by the Pope himself. Mother is also a life hunter.
The loss of holy relics, the death of a priest, and the repeated infiltration into the floating cityβthe various crimes that Alan was listed are still vividly remembered by Garbo today.
But in Garbo's heart, a mother is a mother, not a life hunter.
Mother would tell stories of adventures when she couldn't sleep, would cook her favorite meals, would smile softly at her...... Mothers were never even strong. Like a green, tough vine, it wrapped tightly around Garbo, trying to stretch its petals to shelter her from the wind and rain.
It's like a dream, and my mother is gone.
Wait until Garbo is a little bigger. When she was able to do more on her own, she began to secretly investigate the cause of her mother's death.
She didn't believe that her mother, who was talking about buying her new toys in the morning, would suddenly commit suicide in the evening.
Years later, she has grown into a girl, and all the findings point to the Floating City. Garbo had planned to go to the Pope to ask for clarification, but that day she found that there was an extra attribute bar under her field of vision.
Her innate abilities quietly awakened, and she, like her mother, became a life hunter.
She found herself increasingly eager to touch the relics, more and more bloodthirsty, and more and more eager to climb to the pinnacles of power.
The sense of guilt made Garbo lock herself in the martial arts arena of the Holy Warriors all day long, as the youngest girl in history, her prestige has always been extremely high, and no one dared to disturb her.
"Hunters act as scythes of the night, and their only nature is to kill and grow endlessly. The Pope's comments on her mother still ringed in her ears clearly.
So she left the Holy Warrior Order and rushed to the Eastern Continent with her cousins Rhoda and Shabik, wanting to find her destiny.
"The Holy Cult Army has been playing the role of demon hunters, and there are countless demon species in the Western Regions, all of whom carry the memory imprint of their previous lives, and do not conform to the laws of reincarnation. The Pope said that purification was their only fate, but I doubted that I was a demon myself. Garbo said in a daze, "My mother once mentioned that there were always some dreams haunting her. Many people and things that have never been seen before are familiar as if they really exist. I've been feeling this way lately, I've been having weird dreams about myself becoming someone else......"
The dark world was silent, Lei Luo frowned, and suddenly said, "How do you see that there is something strange about me?"
"The Seal of Light helps me see through all pretenses. β
The source of holy light in Garbo's body is the supreme divine text of the Holy Cult Army, the Seal of Light, and only a pure, young, pious and dull virgin like her can become the bearer.
Lei Luo listened to her slight explanation, shook his head, and said, "Since your mother's death is related to the Floating City, what are you doing in the Eastern Continent?"
"As a holy warrior, when you lose your heart, you often regain your destiny through repentance. I followed the guide to the Eastern Continent. Take it as a place of repentance, and the Seal of Light did not lie to me and let me meet you. Garbo looked at him calmly, "When we get out of the Dark Realm, I'll take you back to the Holy Cult's Sunlight Temple." There, perhaps, you can find your destiny too. β
Lei Luo heard it in a fog. Almost took her for a psychopath: "Thanks, but there's no need, I'm not interested in anything like a fatalistic mission." If you want to have this leisure, you might as well take someone else with you!"
"No, I'll only help you. Garbo said.
"Why?"
"Because we are of the same kind. β
Lei Luo was speechless for a while, thought about it, took out a glass ball-like thing from his pocket, and handed it to Garbo: "This is probably the holy thing you said, right?
The hexahedron snatched from the red-clothed priest was about the size of a cigarette case. Crystal clear, exuding endless fluctuations of potential. The potential items that Lei Luo has touched in the past are the strongest like a deep lake, and when the lake water is exhausted, it will no longer be useful. The hexahedron gave him the feeling of a rushing river, endless, completely different from other objects. Therefore, Lei Luo did not hesitate to take the initiative to attack and kill people to seize treasures.
Garbo's delicate face slowly changed color, and she looked extremely struggling.
"Then you look like a real living person!" said Raylo. The tone was demagogic, "What are you afraid of." Die...... The one was face up, and the immortal turned over. What's more, it's not that serious, it's just a normal meal! Didn't you say that we are the same kind? Come on, prove it to me!"
"I can't be tempted by the devil anymore. Garbo was facing the hexahedron directly, and although she couldn't see the little thing in the absolute darkness, she could sense it clearly.
Depend on. Isn't this scolding the thief bald in front of the monk!
Lei Luo was greatly annoyed, and said angrily: "The Holy Sect Army kills the demon seed, right? I seem to have heard that the gang of people in the Floating City are the same, if they don't get rid of the demon seed, they won't even be able to sleep! The enemy of the enemy is a friend, you should have heard this sentence." In my opinion. Your mother's rigidity must have been the work of the Holy Army and the Floating City. Everyone else has treated you like this, do you still think of yourself as a member of the Holy Sect Army? You don't still think that holy relics are not allowed to be desecrated, do you? If you want to take revenge, you have to pass the current level!"
Garbo was hypnotized, reached out blankly, and grabbed the hexahedron.
Lei Luo clearly sensed that the potential contained in the hexahedron was flowing like a flood, and he was secretly happy in his heart. "As soon as this head is opened, are you afraid that you won't take Lao Tzu to find holy relics in the future?"
When Garbo finished absorbing the potential, he froze there in agony, and Lei Luo found that the hexahedron was indeed extremely special - although it was sucked to a dry state, it was slowly growing new potential inside like a drop of water, and it seemed that it could be used endlessly.
"I've found a treasure!" Before Lei Luo could finish speaking, a black smoke had already generated from behind him, turning into sharp claws and stabbing straight at him.
The shadow creature happened to wander nearby, attracted by the aura of flesh and blood, and immediately attacked. Lei Luo has practiced the Nine Lives Heavenly Dragon Technique for more than ten years, and as soon as he makes a move, he naturally brings the power of life to be born. Not only did it fail to hurt the shadow creature, but it swelled its body and grew several times larger!
Shadow creatures are classified from 1 to 12, with level 12 being the highest Demon King level. The head that Lei Luo encountered was level 3, and his attack immediately turned it into a level 4 creature.
A silent, exhilarating scream emanated from the mouth of the shadow creature, eliciting a silent echo from afar.
"Strangle them with blood!" Garbo's face changed slightly, and he swung his fist out, and the blood that erupted from his body actually formed a bayonet in the darkness, twisting the shadow creature into countless pieces.
Concepts such as the origin of blood and qi can be said to be the most familiar to Lei Luo, although he didn't expect that the Nine Lives Heavenly Dragon Technique would help the shadow creatures become stronger, but after Garbo's reminder, it was still easy to understand, and the vigorous life force was transported, and the blood qi of the most yang and strong quickly enveloped the whole body.
A dark shadow creature poured in, and the two began to fight fiercely.
Shadow creatures are no more than humans, and their bodies are basically imaginary, but when they attack, they can condense claws that are harder than steel. Lei Luo faced the unstoppable attack, and it didn't take long for him to have several more wounds on his body, and he roared in anger, and the violent blood qi shock wave exploded sharply, leveling the area within a radius of several miles!
The two of them didn't have long to catch their breath, and more shadow creatures appeared.
"Didn't you say that the Light can turn them into nutrients?" Lei Luo said in the middle of the fight, "What are you waiting for? I'm hungry!"
In this case, it doesn't matter if the light attracts other shadow creatures.
"I am in Hell, and I am carrying the sword, and the merciful Lord will be with me to do His will on earth as it is in heaven. Garbo murmured, pulling out her blazing lightsaber with both hands, slashing towards the Sea of Shadows with all her might.
This small light shook the entire dark domain, and it didn't take long for many huge beings to come from afar, like beasts that smelled blood, and there was nothing else in their eyes.
"Don't forget to chant the scriptures at this time!" Lei Luo sneered, "What hell and heaven, I only believe in my fists!"
Under the light of the blazing holy light, Garbo turned her head to look at him, and the ice in her eyes quietly melted a corner in the face of that empty look.
"We'll live, I promise. (To be continued......)
