The interior of the confessional chamber was darker than the corridor, and the entrance guards were made of plaster, had no eyes, and their hair and skin resembled that of a real clergyman.

"Huh."

[This time the entrance is smaller.] ］

Salad flapped her wings and hovered beside Camos, adjusting her body shape again according to the width of the entrance, "Huh? ”

[Will it be as scattered this time as it was just now?] ］

"Probably not, but his thoughts are unpredictable." Camos tapped his finger on the hilt of the Sword of the Brave, "The False God has the law of power, and this avatar should be more inclined to the body." ”

Andrea didn't know if she had deceived the Pope by her performance just now, so she casually showed a little stronger than Isidore, held a new angel feather in both hands, blessed all her companions with holy light, and whispered to Salad: "Angelic light can enhance my perception, so that even if we are scattered again by the Pope, we can return to our companions in time." ”

Give the peeping pope a reminder that when they disperse, they can use more power openly, and they don't have to worry about their acting too strong to make the pope jealous, and they also need to come up with something to arouse the pope's greed.

Wanting to preserve the soul from destruction, the Pope will desire pure light from the bottom of his heart, among all who come...... Andrea and Isidore, both of whom want to be the target of the Pope's greed. In this way, at the end of the battle, it is convenient for Ryan and Andrew to have the opportunity to kill the Pope and the evil with one blow and destroy them at the same time, so as to avoid the evil and hide more chess pieces.

Dealing with both the Pope and the evil requires no room for obliteration.

While Isidore and the others waited in the halls, Ryan and Andrew had already finalized more plans, and the angels and companions were almost in the center of the Imperial City.

Padraic joined the others in facing Andrea's jaw, including Isidore, who also gestured respectfully, "Thank you very much for your protection, my lordship. ”

The Pope, who was secretly peeping, no longer cared who the light mage was, and he couldn't tell it accurately, so it was better to simply devour them all. Even if the light of Isidore and Andrea made the Pope hesitate a little, if it was only to this extent, even if it could be stronger, the Pope did not think that their power could destroy him.

The beast head that grew out of his body was furious and bit the Pope, so that he would not waste any more time and complete the fusion as soon as possible. The Pope's eyes removed from the light curtain in pain, and placed his palm on the top of the beast's head, continuing to accelerate the fusion that had been delayed by the light.

The dragon's movement in tight areas would be affected, so Lancelot rode the Pegasus in front of him, and the group followed.

There are many small 'stone houses' in the confessional room, and at the end there is a pure white stone statue with a bowed head and pity. The stone statue held up a ball of light in its right hand, and there was an illusory figure in front of it.

Following Lancelot's foot, Frankino and the Wind Mages channeled the magic to make the interior of the confessional chamber more spacious and accessible to all companions.

After everyone had successfully entered the confessional room, metal candlesticks appeared one after another on the walls of the stone houses and confessional rooms, and straight pure white candles were erected. The tip of the burning candle emits an orange shimmer, and the wax oil that slips down in the firelight is like teardrops, making people feel the cold temperature, as if they are in an extremely cold ice vault, and you can faintly hear the cry of the unknown undead in your ears.

Isidore and Andrea closed their eyes one after the other and gently placed their right hand on their left chest, trying to adjust their minds so that anger did not take over their inner thoughts.

The heir of a noble realm put on a thick cloak and rubbed his hands together and whispered to himself, "It's obviously a temple of light, and everywhere it feels weird. ”

The princess of the City of Flowers shrunk her tentacles above her head, took out the hot pollen and smeared it on her arm to dispel the cold, looked at the nearest candle on the side, and whispered uncertainly in her heart, "Where the wax drips...... It was as if it was taking on the shape of a human being. ”

Everyone patrolled more cautiously because of the words of the princess of the Flower City, and then became more and more vigilant in their hearts.

The environment of the confessional chamber is deceptively simple, the condition of the stone houses is still uncertain, and the candles of unknown materials burn very quickly. I don't know how long it took to ignite, but the wax oil had condensed into the shape of half of the human head, and even the hair on the scalp was splitting.

"It's weird." Paorion's discolored eyes looked behind him, "Could it be that all the stone statues we met when we arrived were related to these strange candles?" ”

"There must be something to do with it, maybe they were once living people, and these waxes weren't really lighting candles. It could be tears or human blood, and it can't be ruled out that it's the soul...... Or the ashes of burning bones, anything is possible. ”

Andrea opened her eyes and looked at the stone statue in front of her, whose face was incompletely recognizable, but whose eyes were merciful and compassionate, and reminded everyone with her props: 'The statue should be the embodiment of power in front of it, and the wall behind the statue must be empty...... Defeat this avatar and we will soon see the embodiment that the Light values most, or go directly to the place where the Pope's body is. ’

Loriss clasped her hands together, 'The battle is coming, and we will be the victors.' ’

Since it is the embodiment of power, let us test it first. ’

Lancelot raised the spear of light in his right hand and the holy shield in his left, his holy eyes filled with disgust for evil, 'even if my strength is not as strong as his...... Seeing such hypocrisy in evil, I don't want him to continue to insult the divine light. ’

'Pure light is our faith and should be treated with more reverence. ’

Lancelot's eyes were more holy, 'When I entered the room called the confessional room, what I heard was not a confession of sins, but the hope of countless deceived souls for salvation. They were deceived into believing in the light and became the rebuilt ...... of the temple of light.

Padraic rubbed the back of his hand at the corners of his eyes, and Lancelot breathed heavily.

Karina's eyes filled with tears, "It's called a temple of light, and I can hear the plea not only underground, but in every inch of the corner...... Here are the cries of souls everywhere. ”

Those who truly believe in light are extremely sensitive to evil and darkness, and all Light Knights and Light Mages are extremely depressed. In such an evil environment, it is not only the emotions that will be affected, but also the light professions such as Padraik, they can burst out with more divine powers.

The people who are watching through the flower of time on the mainland are more and more clearly perceived everything at this moment in the song of the bards. They all prayed for hope in their hearts, asking the gods for their protection and guarding the peace of the continent.

'Please stay safe. ’

Orn, who was also depressed by the circumstances, could understand the hearts of the Light Professionals at the moment, looked at Lancelord and said, "We are all your companions, please evacuate in time when you are in danger." That body was already a false god, and it had mastered the law of power, and after being transformed into an incarnation by the Pope, its power would only be stronger and more dangerous. ’

'Thank you very much for the reminder. ’

Lancelot faced Orn's jaw, looked firmly at the figure in front of the idol, raised the holy spear in his right arm, and all the knights of light turned their sadness and empathy into protective power, and together with Lancelot, they raised the spear of holy light, and their spiritual power condensed into a reins to guide Pegasus's actions, and charged towards the phantom praying in front of the idol.

With a flap of their wings, Pegasus and the Rider of the Back, clad in holy light, soar through the gray floor, avoiding the melted wax and rushing towards the statue.

As Pegasus was about to reach the statue, as the light approached, the apparition in front of the statue suddenly became real, stopped asking for light, and turned to look at Lancelot.

When the avatar stood upright, his slightly short body, which had bowed his head in prayer, swelled in the candlelight, and he continued to rise more than ten meters before stopping.

Like the previous avatars, the face of this avatar was also hidden in a black mask, and only a pair of dark eyes could be seen. He didn't have much cover, no cloak, and only wore fine iron armor on his waist and thighs, and his sturdy and huge body was covered with long black hair, and his dark skin with magic patterns could be faintly seen.

The long black fur could not hide the muscles of the avatar, his thighs were thicker than the four adult heads stacked together, his arms were like stone pillars supporting the house, and the top of his head and the edges of the mask were thicker hairs that spread all the way to his waist, as if he were covered in an extremely thick crust, and there were a pair of hard horns in the shape of hooks on top of his head.

As Lancelot approached with the Knights of Light, the Pope's stout avatar's back bent slightly forward. Immediately, the mask on his face began, and there were gray lines carved into magic patterns that spread around, quickly occupying his entire mask and everything in his body, and the skin seemed to be a kind of restraint and like a secret method that could increase strength.

The Knights of Light fearlessly raised their spears and charged, wielding spears that condensed into cross-like tips with holy light, and slammed into avatars with all their might with holy radiance.

The stone statue against the wall has closed its hands, its face vaguely benevolent, and its unreal eyes are hypocritical and compassionate.

The Pope's demonic avatar didn't need to make a move, and when the spear of holy light wielded in the hands of the knights approached, the gray light was released from the hands of the stone statue, silently encompassing and devouring the spear of holy light that the knight struck.

Karina raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, and re-grasped the staff of holy light floating at her side, frowning, "There is that strange stone statue, and with the power of our holy light at this time, we can't harm that avatar...... Our light will be swallowed up. ”

"It's not just devouring." Padraic looked up at the avatar, "It seems that the light swallowed by the stone statue will also become the power that imprisons this place...... I hear the cry of my soul even more painful. ”

Orn: "This avatar seems to have some resistance to magic. ”

Alexis ran through the dissolving light with his twin swords in hand, followed by several Juggernauts.

The scorching flames clung to the blade, and Alexis gripped the hilt of his sword, unleashing his strength and leaping to his feet, slashing down at the avatar's head.

Elemental and non-elemental Juggernauts alike did the same thing as Alexis, and they surrounded the Pope's avatar in all directions. Lancelot and the other Knights of Light no longer channeled the Light, attaching the power of Light to the tip of the spear, riding the Pegasus' back and pointing the tip of the spear at the avatar's chest, charging at full speed.

Orn, Arroline, Frankino...... Yaster and the others chanted and cast spells at the same time, mobilizing the air elements to release attacks of various attributes.

Charles tapped his toes on the ground, and the wind turned invisible.

Camos held the sword of the brave in his palm, avoiding the wax on the ground and approaching the place where the stone statue was.

Padraic and other light mages chant blessings, and bards assist Astor and others in gathering the wind.

The evil stone statue remained in a praying posture, the avatar created from the body of a false god undaunted, his godless black eyes calmly watching the crowd approaching him. When Alexis's fiery blade was about to slash above his head, he slowly raised his right arm, turned it into a fist, and swung it forward with great haphazard and gentleness.

With a seemingly calm and casual punch in the air, at the moment when the Pope's incarnate arm was fully extended, the figure standing in front of the stone statue easily crossed the space and appeared directly in front of Alexis, facing the crusty covered fist directly against the blade attached to the flames.

The avatar's size was much larger than Arissi's, and the seemingly fluttering punch directly shattered the blade in Arissi's hand into two pieces at the moment of contact.

Alexis was knocked back and knocked away by the avatar's power, and more than that, the crashing storm forced everyone backwards.

Chapter 624

The storm caused by the impact of the fist and the tip of the sword caused a massive impact, and the space was shaken by it, and the subsequent explosion of the storm was comparable to the turbulence of time and space.

Alexis was blown away by a storm of flames, and even the knights of light, including Camos, who were close to the stone statue and the Pope's incarnation, were just a blow from the avatar's power, and the storm caused by the fist not only suppressed the magic of Astor and the others, but also caused everyone to continue to retreat because of this blow.

However, in the midst of the storm caused by brute force, the surrounding walls, the sarcophagus-like small confessional chambers, and the metal candlesticks extending from the outer wall to the outer wall shone brighter and brighter. Even the candles were not shaken by the storm, but the sliding wax turned brownish-gray, like dirty tears.

Lancelot's blonde hair fell back with the wind, and he held the huge shield in his left hand in front of him and shouted angrily, "No matter whether it is evil or dark, hold fast to the faith in your heart—"

"Shhh

Pegasi raised his head and hissed, releasing light as Lancelot leads.

"In the name of the Guardian—"

The Knights of Light all did the same thing as Lancelot, condensing the radiance of holiness on their shields and keeping the storm at bay as much as possible for their companions behind them.

Ornyang cast a spell with his staff, using his mental power to catch the upside-down flying Arissi. Musel, who stood beside Orn, whispered, chanting magic as he took out a bottle of potion and used the water to purify the flames on Alexis's body.

Loris looked at Alexis with both eyes, transferring the trauma he had suffered from the shock of the Pope's incarnation, and after waiting for Alexi to recover, she took a bottle of sacred magic potion from the storage item and drank it in small sips.

"May the Light shelter you."

Padraic waved his staff and guided the light mages to condense into a barrier to block the turbulence caused by the punch of force.

Camos was also swept away by the current, and Salad, who had returned to his original form, flapped his dragon wings to catch him.

Isidore and Andrea's cloaks and hoods fluttered in the wind, and their hidden eyes looked at the stone statue and the incarnation created by the Pope with the body of a false god, and communicated in their minds through props: "This storm is fake, it is the Pope's body that is channeling power through the stone statue, and wants to make our hearts fear and waste time to attack,"

"The candle is a fusion of soul fragments, a temptation that the Pope deliberately unleashed at this moment...... More souls are confined to every part of the confessional, even in the walls and tiles underfoot. ”

"This avatar is not yet fully created, and his actions and strength are incomparable, and he can control ...... The only thing that has been transformed by the Pope is the two fists. ”

"The Brave of Camos...... His Royal Highness Charles. ”

Isidore raised his head slightly, revealing his hood with his jaw similar to Ryan's disguise as a light mage, holding the two seeds of light in his left and right hands at the same time, hiding them in the loose sleeves of his shirt, and whispering in the head of the storm that seemed to be targeted, "The main ability of the Pope's avatar is his fists, and it is not easy to show the dawn when he is passively defending. Please also attack the avatar in different directions at the same time, and I will go with Andrea to destroy this stone statue in the confessional room. ”

"I can feel the will of the spirit...... When this avatar is shattered, they will surely strike at us here. ”

Andrea's right hand pressed slightly her left chest, her eyes under the hood and the voice in her head full of sadness, "When I was a saint of light, the confessional room was one of the places I often visited...... Here are the souls of my former companions. ”

"The apparition just now...... The Pope may be hiding something in this incarnation, and I feel a warning of danger. ”

Isidore, "The soul in the confessional chamber needs to be purified, or it will become a danger of explosion. These are souls of pure light that will later become the power devoured by the Pope...... We need to ask for the help of the angels in advance. ”

Isidore: "While we are aware of the weakness and are ready to call on the angels, we ask you to be prepared to defend yourself before drawing the incarnation's attention away. ”

"The law is the most mysterious force in the world, and only those who have become gods can control it. Even if he transforms the body of the false god attached to the law, the current Pope cannot fully control this power, he must use secret methods to control it. ”

Andrea made the opposite move with Isidore to confuse the Pope's mind. Lowering her head and tightening her hood so that not an inch of skin is exposed, the bright eye of the heart helps her see everything clearly.

The storm still didn't stop, and Andrea looked at the avatar in front of her, who slowly withdrew her hand, and told everyone about her and Isidore's plan through props.

The 'candle' obtained after the soul is fused can only be 'extinguished' by the power of the Angel of Light and the Fallen Angel when it is not harmed. Isidore's abilities will hasten the erasion of souls by the light, and the Pope has not relinquished control of these souls.

When Isidore and Andrea, or the Light Mages complete the purification of the Soul Fusion Candle, the broken soul will be controlled by the Pope and invade the purifier's mind.

The angels have prepared for the pope, but the pope at this moment does not know and does not have the energy to guess that the angel will come at this time. He will only put more thought into the completion of the fusion, unless the matter is happening in front of him and must be dealt with, and the Pope will pay attention to the influence of the mind, as it is now.

If it weren't for Isidore's strong performance, if they didn't deal with it, it would affect the fusion, and the Pope really didn't want to waste and consume the power of his own incarnation, which would also be a waste of his own devouring.

In order to ensure that he could devour the gods after becoming a god, the Pope was extremely stingy.

The most important thing is -

If you don't summon angels to come and purify and redeem the souls of the 'candles' and destroy the stone statues, the darkness in the confession will be difficult to stop, and too much time will be wasted in a tactful way.

Since the Pope already wants to keep them here...... There are only two avatars left, so you can speed it up a bit.
