I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 159 The Fall of the Church

"Roaring sound?"

Several people held their breath and listened carefully, and sure enough, they heard a few faint roars.

They were walking out of the back door of the church at this time, intending to return to their residence to rest. There was a long corridor leading to the backyard of the church, where the clergy of Dawn lived, and there were also guest rooms for believers who came to the church to pray.

The roar came from the backyard.

"What's going on?" Phil Gray and his companions quickly rushed towards the direction of the roar, and a horrifying scene appeared in front of them.

A priest in a golden robe was kneeling on the ground gnawing at the neck of another priest. Blood was flowing on the ground, accompanied by the sound of bones being chewed.

"Oh my God!" Phil Gray stopped where he was. This scene was exactly the same as the zombie movies he had seen on Earth. Could it be that there were zombies in this other world too?

The bitten priest's eyes bulged out and his whole body trembled. Then he got up from the ground and followed the priest who had just bitten him with his neck tilted. When they saw Phil Gray and his men coming over, they pounced on them frantically.

Ernest stood in front of them. It was no problem for a Knight of Destiny to deal with these zombies. However, he frowned and said, "These zombies have retained their divine powers from their lifetime."

"Divine power?" Phil Gray asked in surprise, "Can these zombies still use divine power? But followers below the level of God simply cannot retain their original divine power after death, and these priests are at most at the level of blessing."

He saw Ernest wielding his sword of destiny and cutting the zombies that were rushing towards him in half, but the zombies did not stop attacking. Their bodies were still twisting constantly, trying to put themselves back together.

"No, they don't seem to be able to use divine power actively, but their bodies still retain the power bestowed by God, which makes them stronger and tougher than ordinary zombies." Ernest replied.

"This is obviously impossible. I've never heard of a low-level god-favored being able to retain divine power after death." Eli was also full of doubts. Two more zombies pounced at them from behind. A faint golden layer appeared on their bodies, which made him sure that there was indeed divine power in these zombies.

"Wait, if it is true that divine power cannot be retained after death, does that mean these people are not dead at all?" Phil Gray asked suddenly.

"It's very likely." Eli also agreed with this speculation.

Phil Gray's divine power gathered at his fingertips, "burning——"

A ring of fire appeared at the spot, surrounding the two complete zombies. After they touched the sun's flame, they instinctively avoided it and had to be trapped in the circle.

Is there a way to restore them? After all, there is a high chance that these people are still alive?

So Phil Gray didn't kill him.

"There's more howling in there," said Ernest.

"Let's go in and take a look." Phil Gray walked in front and they went deeper into the backyard.

Sure enough, there were too many zombies inside. They were gnawing at each other, and a large group of zombies surrounded Melody.

"Damn zombies!" Melody held a golden bow and arrow and continuously shot arrows condensed from divine power.

But there were too many zombies, and they were all extremely ferocious, so she could only hold on with difficulty.

Seeing the arrival of several people, Melody hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, please save me!"

Eli kicked away the zombie that was about to bite him, and planted a patch of cactus next to Melody, forming a barrier to block the zombies that kept surrounding him.

Phil Gray couldn't use the skills of other gods, so he could only continuously release flames to prevent the zombies from coming forward.

Ernest was the main fighting force, and he defeated one zombie after another that crossed the obstacles.

Melody was relieved by their help, and at this time, another person appeared in the backyard and ran over anxiously.

"Your Highness, are you okay? The church seems to have fallen, and most of the priests I know have turned into zombies!"

Phil Gray looked at the person who came and found it was Reverend Hodgson. They had just had dinner together, and after dinner, the three of them wanted to take a walk outside, so they separated.

At this time, Pastor Hodgson suffered a serious blow. His already wrinkled face looked even older, because those who turned into zombies were all pastors who had lived with him for many years.

"How could it spread so fast? By the way, what about the homeless man we found in the ruins of life today? Where is he?" Worry appeared in Phil Gray's eyes. That man was really suspicious.

"Him? He should be arranged to stay in the guest room. He seems to be over there. Do you want to go over and take a look?" Hodgson held back his sadness and pointed to a room on the east side.

"Okay." They nodded and ran towards where the man lived while dealing with the zombies.

Opening the door, there was no one inside.

"It seems that he has something to do with it." Eli said.

"Oh no! If these zombies leave the church and spread to the city, then..." Phil Gray pursed his lips. At this rate of spread, the entire city will become a zombie city!

After all, even the priests in the church turned into zombies, so ordinary people had no way to resist.

"Oh, the bishop and the city lord are not here, what should I do?!" Pastor Hodgson had a sad face and was at a loss for what to do.

Melody's blond hair was stained with blood. She looked solemn, "We should report to the headquarters as soon as possible and ask them or the gods from the surrounding cities to come to support us."

After saying that, she took off one of her earrings, input divine power into it, and the earring instantly turned into a stream of light, flew towards the sky, and disappeared.

"I hope His Holiness the Pope can receive it, so that he will know that there is danger on our side."

"But it will take time for them to arrive. This is really a good strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain..." Phil Gray sighed secretly. He said to a few people, "We have to trap these zombies in the church as much as possible. Now, we have to see how many run outside!"

"Ok!"

When they arrived at the church door, they found that the seriousness of the situation was beyond their imagination, because outside the church, the screams and roars sounded louder than inside the church!

"It's over, that's a residential area!" Hodgson's eyes were red, and his voice was the loudest in the place where he often went to help. He had prayed for the sick and baptized newborn babies there. He had lived in this city for decades. How could the peaceful days become like this overnight?

He squatted down in despair, and his old back was suffocating.

They stood confused under the night sky, seeing the body parts and internal organs on the street.

Until another voice came from behind:

"Ahem, there are still people alive?"
