Chapter 149 Invasion (4k2)
Wern, the "senior warlock" of the Alchemy Academy, came to the church shortly after Bishop Fabian saw the picture of the obelisk.
After informing him of his identity, the cleric in charge of guidance in the church took Wern to the inner courtyard of the church and to the gate of the Holy Inquisition.
At this time, Anthony had already received arrangements from Priest Leonard, entertained Vern, and asked about his purpose.
"'Blood of Thorns'... is a monster of 'Blood of Thorns'!"
Wern looked panicked and described his previous experience with words and gestures: "They suddenly appeared, just like this... hiss! One of our colleagues was torn into pieces! And then... Boom! Even the crystal statue at the entrance of the obelisk was blown to pieces!"
While Wern was talking, Anthony was also looking at the other person.
At this time, "Senior Warlock" Wern was covered in blood.
His originally smooth warlock robe with azure patterns was cut into dozens of broken rips, revealing the horrific scars dripping with blood.
It is not difficult to see what kind of difficult situation Wern went through when he escaped from the alchemy courtyard obelisk.
Every time he spoke a word at this time, he had to take a few deep breaths, so that he could calm down the increasingly chaotic spirituality in his body and prevent himself from suffering more serious internal injuries due to weakness.
"...'Alchemy Institute' is under fierce attack from the enemy! However, now, several of our 'generalists' adults are not here, and my colleagues are still resisting with difficulty."
"Originally, several colleagues tried to break out with me, but in the end, I was the only one who successfully escaped from that purgatory..."
"I ask for your assistance and ask the church to send the 'Holy Judges' to eliminate those cultists. Only in this way can we save the 'Alchemy Institute' and prevent this treasure house of knowledge from being completely destroyed by the enemies..." "
"..."
"I understand." Anthony nodded.
Afterwards, Anthony followed what Leonard had told him before and said: "This is the responsibility of our 'Holy Judge'. Friends from the Alchemy Academy, you can rest assured that we will go, To judge those rampant cultists.”
After calming Vern's mood, Anthony asked the clergyman to take Vern to rest and receive treatment from other clergymen in the church.
Afterwards, Anthony went straight to Priest Leonard's room, opened the door and walked in.
At this time, Leonard's room was unusually full of people, and without exception they were all clergymen.
Most of them are priests who have the same rank of "priest" as Leonard.
When they saw Anthony pushing open the door and entering, the faces of these priests all showed complicated expressions.
"Are the people from the Alchemy Institute here?" A middle-aged priest asked, "Anthony, is the situation they are encountering consistent with expectations?"
"...Yes." Anthony nodded, "Lord Calvigit. I have agreed to their request for assistance in accordance with Priest Leonard's instructions."
"Okay." An old and majestic voice came from behind Carl Weigit, which was the unique and iconic voice of Leonard:
"Anthony, you did a good job. I It has been arranged. You and the Holy Inquisitors of the church will go to the Alchemy Academy obelisk now."
"Remember, your goal is not to completely annihilate them, but to quickly attack and kill their 'Body Destroyer' leader. After that, you must return quickly. The Sina City Church still needs you."
"..."
"I understand, Master Priest."
Anthony agreed, then turned and exited Priest Leonard's room.
…
After Anthony left, no one said anything in Leonard's room for a while.
There was a solemn atmosphere at the scene, with everyone frowning and thinking about something.
"...Leonard."
Calvigit suddenly smiled and broke the dusty silence: "I haven't seen Anthony for a long time. I feel like he has grown up."
"…People always grow, Calvigit."
Leonard sighed. His eyes then fell on the other side, an old man wearing a patriarchal robe and leaning against the wall in silence.
"Now that Anthony has left with those children, I think everyone should have understood one thing."
Leonard said slowly: "Let them leave the church. This is to protect them. Because the enemies we will face later are not something that group of children can solve..."
"I think everyone here should understand this deeply. We are all people who have experienced the era of 'Holy War', especially Markis and I. We have all seen real suffering."
"So, everyone."
Leonard paused, and the expression on his face became more serious than ever before.
"Everyone should understand the terror of the 'Ancestral Bishop' of the original sect. Bishop Fabian is ready to fight, and we should also fulfill our duties."
Leonard's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. He put his hands forward, forming an equilateral triangle on his chest, and finally said to the "priests" and clergy present:
"—May the Holy Light be bathed forever and be with us for a moment."
…
…
When Luo Xiu returned to the church, he happened to meet Anthony and the others who were preparing to go to war.
Anthony took Connor, Pamier, and a dozen other Holy Judges whom Luo Xiu had only met a few times. When Anthony saw Luo Xiu, he greeted Luo Xiu from a distance.
But Anthony did not stop. He knew that Luo Xiu had Leonard's approval to act alone.
Therefore, Anthony just said "be careful" to Luo Xiu and continued towards the direction of the alchemy courtyard obelisk.
"...Anthony and the others are setting off. This means that the original sect and the 'Ancestral Spirit Bishop' are coming soon."
Luo Xiu pondered as he walked quickly towards the inner courtyard of the church.
At this time, all the ordinary clergymen in the church have been replaced by "holy judges" transferred from outside.
They still maintained the usual order in the church, but on this day, there were few believers in the church who came to worship.
Although everything seemed in order, there was an atmosphere of tension inside the church. Luo Xiu quickly crossed the path and came to the Holy Inquisition.
As soon as Anthony left, Luo Xiu came to Priest Leonard's room and gently opened the door.
The moment he opened the door, Luo Xiu saw many familiar faces from his previous life.
Three priests from the "Church of Sina City" actually gathered here. In addition, there were also elite extraordinary persons from various clergy, seemingly discussing something important.
When Leonard saw Luo Xiu arriving, a surprised expression flashed across his face.
"Luo Xiu? Why are you coming back? You don't know the danger..."
Leonard was surprised, then shook his head.
"Forget it...since you're here, Luo Xiu."
Leonard sighed and said, "Okay, just look for something you can do."
"...But remember, when the enemy appears, even if you are a 'Son of Glory', you must not approach the 'Ancestral Spirit Bishop' of the original sect rashly! You must remember to never do anything beyond your ability."
"..."
"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded.
"Master Priest, I will pay attention." "Please rest assured. I will never do anything beyond my ability."
"..."
…
When "Senior Warlock" Vern came to ask for help, Anthony led a group of Holy Judges to leave shortly after.
--boom! ! !
A shocking explosion broke the usual solemnity and silence in the church, and opened a huge gap in the side wall of the church.
Countless pagans in crimson cloaks filed in through this huge gap and threw various sealing media that had been prepared into the church.
The magic crystal as the sealing medium exploded the moment it touched something hard, and a strange and ominous deep darkness suddenly filled the air from the fragments of the magic crystal, quickly filling every corner of the church.
Although many clergymen who were in the church had already made various preparations to meet the enemy, they did not expect that this group of pagans would break through the church wall and attack from a tricky direction!
But the priests stationed on the periphery quickly reacted and gave the heretics an effective counterattack!
For a moment, a dazzling golden light flashed instantly, and the light group containing the power of annihilation flew towards the intruders who invaded first, and then a quite violent explosion occurred!
The battle between the "Primitive Sect" and the "Holy Court Church" began in an instant.
Countless crimson and golden rays of light intersected in one place, weaving into a curtain of light that exuded a terrifying aura. The men on both sides suffered casualties in an instant.
However, the pagans responsible for the temptation only have three levels of combat power, so this is not the main battlefield.
After a period of symbolic resistance, the "priests" retreated toward the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard of the church is the most important position!
When the priests retreated, the pagans of the "original sect" went deeper.
And just behind these pagans wearing crimson cloaks, there is an old man wearing a bishop's robe with gorgeous patterns and holding a staff with dark green light in his right hand. His eyes are calmly looking at and being watched by him. A big hole was blasted behind the wall.
"...There are no barriers and not much resistance."
"It's as expected... It seems that the plan of the 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice' can proceed smoothly."
The old man murmured, and he immediately took a step forward, and countless dark green wandering spirits suddenly emerged from his body and coiled around his side.
"Fabiang...heh. It's been a long time since I last saw you."
"..."
…
When the clergy in the hall all retreated to the inner courtyard, the pagans from the "original sect" followed closely into the depths of the church.
Priest Leonard, who was overlooking from a high place, was looking for the most dangerous figure.
After previous testing, Leonard already roughly knew the number and strength of the opponent.
In addition to the "Lost" fifth-level destiny "Ancestral Spirit Bishop" who is bound to come, the original sect also sent three "fourth-level destiny" "high priests". Curse" and "Elemental" abilities.
At this time, the two "Patriarchs" Calvigit and Markis of the church had respectively found the two [lost] high priests and started an extremely fierce battle!
The last "high priest" of the other party, accompanied by the "ancestral spirit bishop", followed their bishop and slowly entered the inner courtyard of the church.
When it was confirmed that the biggest enemy had appeared, Fabion, who was holding a scepter next to Leonard, slowly stood up from the simulated Holy Seat and pointed the scepter into the air.
"——In a moment of supreme greatness, you preach all good and you punish all evil..."
Bishop Fabion began to pray loudly:
"——I beg you to watch, I beg you to grant, I beg you to listen..."
"——I beg you to lower the 'Lightless Cage'!"
"..."
As Fabian prayed, the dazzling sun's rays gradually dimmed in the originally clear sky above the church.
Immediately afterwards, a large space, including the entire glorious church, was shrouded in an invisible sarong.
The sarong blocks most of the light. From the inside to the outside, or from the outside to the inside, each other cannot see the scene on the opposite side; the sarong is an indestructible barrier. People from outside cannot enter, and people inside cannot escape.
The current "Glory Church" has become a completely enclosed cage area.
This is one of the "authorities" that Bishop Fabion took over from Bishop Alfonso!
"……alright."
After finishing a prayer to use his authority, Fabian's face instantly became a little pale.
He coughed twice and looked towards the field, looking at the pagans who were a little panicked by the sudden change.
"Now...it's time to fight to the death."
Bishop Fabian said slowly, and he walked slowly towards the field at the same time.
"'Lightless Cage'... Haha. This is really a blasphemy against the 'Holy Light'..."
"Now, only if one of me and the 'Ancestral Spirit Bishop' dies here, can we break this prison."
"Leonard...I want you to witness this."
Bishop Fabion, there was a certain calmness in his words:
"If I fall and cannot make the 'ancestral spirit bishop' lose the ability to move before the last moment comes..."
"Leonard, take all the surviving people and escape from here and escape from Sina City..."
"..."
"I understand, Bishop."
Leonard's eyes became dim, and he shook his head slightly, but in the end he didn't say much.
He knew that there was an unusual grudge between Bishop Fabian and the "Ancestral Spirit Bishop".
As for Bishop Fabian, after he finished explaining these things, he stepped towards the semi-empty place.
He stepped into the air, and long translucent steps with golden light appeared under his feet.
Fabian stepped onto the long steps that extended downwards and looked calmly down at the "ancestral bishop" wearing a gorgeous bishop's robe.
At the same time, Fabian raised his scepter high, and a bright golden light suddenly flashed on the scepter.
As this golden light became more and more dazzling, a huge ball of annihilation light quickly condensed just above the head of the "Ancestral Spirit Bishop" and fell heavily downwards!
--boom! ! !
A deafening explosion resounded, and the entire inner courtyard of the church was shaken violently by the violent explosion!
The gravel scattered, golden light splashed, and dust and smoke filled the air.
This is the highest-level "meeting gift" that Bishop Fabian gave to the "Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit".
