Chapter 241: The Keeper
"Are you Saint Peter?" asked Akali first.
"I am, but I'm not. The man replied.
"Yes or no?" Akali didn't understand at all.
"It doesn't matter to me who you are. "Somehow, an invisible pressure came over the air. "In the deepest part of here, there is a terrible existence, this is by no means the place where you should come, and two of you have the power of the devil, and I can't let you through!"
"But we're here to destroy the Bone Demon that hides in its deepest depths, and it's about to be awakened by Garak the Lich, so let's go in and stop it!" Akali pleaded.
"You are really here for the Bone Demon, leave immediately, otherwise I can only purify you!" The phantom immediately became vigilant when he heard the word "Bone Demon".
"Damn, it seems that the only way to defeat it is to defeat it. Yunhai gritted his teeth. "Akali, let's force our way through!"
As he spoke, a sword aura with magical power pierced the phantom, but three feet away, it was blocked by a pure spiritual power.
"The devil's minions actually want to challenge this sacred place!" the phantom suddenly recited some incantation, and in an instant, the empty hall was completely blocked by the powerful power of the Holy Spirit. "If you want to get through here, the only way isβ"
"Beat me!"
Before the words fell, the phantom condensed a huge amount of Holy Spirit power and smashed into the sea of clouds that bore the brunt of it!
Meanwhile.
"I'm afraid this tunnel has existed for a while......" Elena used the magic lighting tool on her wrist to clearly see that this tunnel was not dug in a hurry, not only the space was extremely wide, but also very regular flat ground, which looked more like some kind of tunnel. "And the tunnels here don't look like they were left by some escaped fugitive, but more like a regular project, who built it?"
"Maybe it's designed to make it easier for prisoners who have bought off the jailers to escape. Wallace had traveled all over the world as a thief, and had naturally heard of similar tricks. "Once the prisoner succeeded in bribing the prison guards, in order to avoid arousing suspicion of leaving the main road, the larger dungeons often had such secret tunnels, which not only made it easier for the prisoners to escape, but also allowed the jailers to escape in the event of a riot among the prisoners, and in the past, there were similar passages in the dungeons of Athens, but now they have been completely destroyed by the earthquake, I think. β
"Alright, it should be inside the dungeon ahead, we have to be careful. Elena gestured to whisper, from here they could already hear the footsteps of the jailers and the cries of the people, although the dungeons of Rome were held for felons from all over Europe, and the place was amazingly large, but suddenly more than 100,000 people were imprisoned, and it was still very crowded, often a cell full of people, and the cries were loud.
"These mad fellows ......" Elena quietly removed the stone slab above her head, without making any sound, and she took a brief look around, and saw that it seemed to be the dungeon's guards' quarters, full of empty wine bottles, emitting all sorts of foul smells, and a drunken jailer was lying asleep on his bed.
"Let's go. β
Elena quietly motioned for Wallace to follow her, and the two crept into the dungeon, hiding themselves in the dim light, carefully observing the distribution of this layer of guards.
"With this drunk, there are a total of twelve guards on this level, four of them are not within the range of our throwing knives, and they can't be killed directly, so I suggest we bring the two guards nearby and then kill the rest. "Wallace has found a way to save this layer of civilians without alarming any of the guards.
"Okay, then let this guy be the bait!"
Elena dragged the drunken man over, grabbed him by the neck with a ferocious cranch, and with a grunting sound, the poor jailer was strangled to death before he could figure out what was happening.
"What sound?"
Two jailers nearby heard something strange and wanted to come and check it out, but Elena tossed the dead body in a corner, exchanged glances with Wallace, and waited quietly at the base of the wall.
As the two jailers walked into the lounge for no apparent reason, two sharp blades swept their throats from behind, and in less than a second, the two jailers also became the ghosts of Elena and Wallace.
"What about the remaining nine?" asked Elena.
"You are in charge of the two on the left, and I am in charge of the three on the right, and when these five people die, the people will inevitably fall into chaos, and then the remaining four will come, and we will solve it with two more people. Wallace whispered.
"Good. β
Generally speaking, even a master who uses hidden weapons can't throw three throwing knives at the same time to ensure strength and accuracy, but under Rex's training, Wallace has mastered this stunt invented by his father.
In an instant, the five flying knives turned into cold light, flew out of the lounge, and instantly plunged into the necks of the five guards, while at the same time, the people also fell into a great panic.
"Murder!"
"Who's here!"
"Has anyone come to our rescue?"
With the noise of the people, the remaining four jailers staggered over.
"What a quarrel, believe it or not, His Majesty Trist will put you all to death!"
But in the next second, the jailers also noticed the anomaly, and the five companions fell to the ground one after another, each with a knife in their throats, needless to say, it must have been an assassin.
"Someone ...... coming"
As soon as the jailer at the head was about to shout, a throwing knife hit his throat accurately, and the remaining three also hit the target accurately, and in an instant, the remaining four jailers were also killed.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Elena hurriedly jumped out, calming the people who had begun to stir up. "I'm sent by Princess Akali to save everyone, if you want to escape alive, don't make a sound, leave through the secret passage, don't squeeze or rob, once you alarm Trist's people, we will all die!"
At the moment of life and death, all of them maintained a high degree of unity and nodded one after another.
"The keys are here. Wallace quickly found the key from the corpse, opened the various prison doors, and in an instant, the people rushed out, and began to pour into the secret tunnels in a nervous and orderly manner.
"Hurry up, everyone, the two of us will monitor the situation above!"
And the other side.
"Damn, why is this guy so strong!" Akali raised the Poseidon shield and slammed the fist of the phantom in front of him, and with a "buzz", Akali flew out along with the shield, and then, the phantom launched an unavoidable light gun attack on Akali, and the spear formed by the power of the Holy Spirit was thrown instantly, wanting to kill Akali!
"No!"
At the critical moment, Yun Hai suddenly flew forward, and the Divine Sword was trying to block it, but it was knocked away by a huge force, and the spear that changed the route stabbed into Yun Hai's shoulder violently, and the blood flowed for a while!
"Stupid man!"
"Sea of Clouds!"
Fluttershy and Akali both scream and immediately surround her.
"Does it hurt, stupid man......" Fluttershy burst into tears, staring at the sea of clouds half-kneeling in distress. "Damn, I'm going to beat him up! I don't care what kind of saint or sage he is, and I will never forgive anyone who dares to hurt my husband!"
"Yunhai, you saved my life again, how can I repay you......" Akali muttered.
"You're fine, are you?" Yun Hai endured the severe pain and looked at Akali with concern.
"I ......"
Akali was instantly stunned!
"Mr. Yun, please don't move, I'll treat your wounds immediately......" Sherlock's palms condensed with pure Holy Spirit power, and he was about to heal Yunhai's wounds, what did he expect......
β...... This is?"
Suddenly, a soft light shone down from the top of the five people's heads, making the people inside feel refreshed, and the injury on Yunhai's shoulder was actually healed in an instant!
"You did it?"
Yun Hai moved his shoulders and found that not only the superficial, but also the internal injuries had been healed, and even the physical strength and true qi consumed in the battle had been replenished, and the only person on the field who could do all this was the shadow of the old man in front of him.
"I admire your courage and love, and perhaps my judgment is not correct, you are all benevolent and good people, and the strength of the devil does not prove that the heart is the same as the devil, and I should not stop you anymore. β
With the phantom's words, the walls of light around the temple vanished.
"Who the hell are you, why are you here?" Akali had too many questions about the old man in front of her.
"Your purpose is to prevent the resurrection of the Bone Demon, isn't it?" said the old man suddenly, then turned around and opened a small door. "Follow me, and I will take you to find that evil being, and I will explain to you in detail on the way about me and what is happening here. β
The five people followed the phantom of the old man into the crypt, and on both sides of the dark aisle, there were sarcophagi one by one, unusually solemn, according to Akali's introduction, these should be the most important figures in Catholicism in history.
"I am Peter, after sealing the Bone Demon, in order to prevent the resurrection of this monster by people with ill intentions in the future, and the prohibition set here, Peter injected half of his strength into my body, and when the Bone Demon began to show signs of activity again, I would wake up and fight this series of crises. β
"Then why don't you just find Galak?"
"This lich has long known about my existence, so he has used the power of death to create a separate space that I cannot enter, so I can only wait outside until the bone demon fully awakens. The old man's voice suddenly paused, and he continued: "But once the Bone Demon is completely resurrected, its strength is not something I can defeat, and all I can do is not let innocent people become its victims...... But I see in you a kind of power, a force called hope, maybe you can completely defeat this monster that has existed for thousands of years, and make this land completely quiet. β
"Go ahead, kids, and I'll be there again when you need help......"
