Demon Lord

When Akasha was feeling emotional, the temple in the northeastern part of the kingdom was covered with a layer of golden-red light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The tall Baihua Church is even more solemn under the light. As the core city of the Rose Cross, the Holy Temple naturally has the most devout believers in the country. And every Descent Day, there will be many believers from other cities. Come here, just to bow down piously in front of the most magnificent Hundred Flowers Church and pray in a low voice.

The white marble floor is bright because of the friction of believers kneeling down. There is no rubbish here. If anyone dares to spit here, he will be held down and beaten to death by angry believers. The atmosphere of religion is the only main theme here, so the authority of the priests in the temple far exceeds that of ordinary nobles.

Even if it is a priest, walking on the street will attract countless believers to salute respectfully. The same is true for Priest Ravda who just walked out from the back of the Hundred Flowers Church.

He walked a little fast today, not at all calm and solemn in the past. This is because Ravda was quite agitated at the moment. When he saw a believer bowing to him, he should have raised his hand and made a sign of the cross in response or recited Holy Light is with him, but today the priest frowned. Brows, walked over without seeing...

what happened…

After returning to the room he lived in, Ravda poured a few mouthfuls of cold well water in distress, but this action did not calm the anger in his heart, but instead made him punch the wall with a bang in annoyance. , the wooden walls were dented.

Although Ravda is a priest, he currently has the strength of a ascetic who has advanced to level 5, and his unarmed combat ability and determination are far superior to ordinary temple guards.

When he was young, his father was beaten to death by a gang of hooligans, and his mother died of serious illness in order to support the family. As an orphan, he entered the church. At first, he only thought about the word seeking revenge every day, but the bishop who guided him did not want Ravda was blinded by hatred, so he led him into the door of the ascetic monk, so that he could give up hatred after more than 20 years of uninterrupted training, and listen to the teachings of the Lord wholeheartedly. Now he has even gradually forgotten the enemy look like.

Because of the particularity of the Ascetic's strong willpower, Ravda was specially assigned to the Temple to guard the artifact scepter The Kiss of the Viper obtained from the Cross of the Viper. The scepter was sealed under the church by the Pope himself, and was guarded by a small team led by Ravda.

From the day he was sealed, Ravda performed his duties faithfully and lived a consistent and peaceful life every day. However, a few months ago, Ravda felt a voice whispering in his head. As for what he said, he always had no way of knowing, but every day after falling asleep, the dream flashed again and again when his father was beaten by those hooligans. dead scene...

This kind of mood swing is a taboo for ascetic monks.

He used various methods to calm down the flame in his heart, but because he accidentally discovered that the former murderer was in the outer city market two years ago, his mood became more and more uncontrollable.

He had almost forgotten what his enemy looked like at first, but the images that flashed through countless days and nights recently were very clear. To this day, he feels that he is on the verge of collapse, and his desire for revenge is as uncontrollable as a volcano that is about to erupt, which makes him feel unspeakable pain while gritting his teeth.

In the past three days, this feeling has become more and more intense, and it has reached its limit today. At this time, when he was about to splash the cold water in the water tank on his face to calm down, the outstretched arm slapped the water tank directly into a hole.

Enough... I've had enough!

When night fell, Ravda, who had a manic expression before, turned around and walked towards the closed market with a calm face...

There is no curfew in the temple, and as a priest, he looks the same as before, only with the almost fanatical light in his eyes, he casually consults passers-by, then he finds the residence of the enemy, knocks on the door, and opens the door. The man didn't recognize his identity, but bent down to salute habitually.

The residents in the city are all believers, and they will do so when they see priests visit their doors.

Ravda nodded and said a few words, then stepped into the room and closed the door calmly. And half an hour later, when he opened the door again, the original white teaching robe was already covered with blood and flesh foam...

Ravda, who was breathing heavily, felt a little dizzy. When the enemy was torn into pieces by him, his head seemed to regain his composure. He stared blankly at his blood-stained hands, unable to believe that he had committed a crime Such a sin.

I...what the hell...

The mad Ravda was quickly noticed by the patrolling temple guards, and then the family of three who had been torn to pieces caused even more exclamation. This incident directly alarmed the high officials of the temple and even the Pope that night. Ravda was taken directly to the tribunal for interrogation, and the result made all the bishops look serious...

The next day, the homicide was classified as a robbery and murder by robbers, and Ravda was never linked to it from the beginning to the end. The ascetic monk was temporarily imprisoned after being questioned by the Pope himself.

After that, the seal of the Viper's Kiss scepter was strengthened more than a dozen times, and at the same time, all the guards in charge were changed to bishop-level priests, and they were rotated every three days.

On the third day, at the meeting on how to deal with the kiss of the viper, the bishops also divided two very distinct factions because of this incident.

The bishops headed by Rubens clearly believe that the Viper's Kiss scepter has shown uncontrollable power in the process of awakening, and now it is necessary to find a solution, and the solution is very simple: give it to The Awakener Sally.

Even the powerful shadow priests of Viper's Cross could not control this scepter, but Sally held it and directly reversed the entire situation of the battle. This is a fact witnessed by hundreds of people. According to the information circulating inside the Viper Cross and the other party's attempt to hijack Sally, it can be judged that Sally is the only person who can prevent the scepter from getting out of control.

However, most of the bishops are directly on the opposite side: because Sally's current status is no longer the heir to the duke, but the lord of a completely independent territory who gave such a high-ranking nobleman an artifact scepter, Rose How does the Cross ensure its own status and interests?

In more grandiose words, We can't be sure whether Sally will apostate after holding the scepter, so she will become a member of the 'Cross Viper', and even use the power of the 'Cross Viper' to suppress us...
