Salvation equals death

Vera actually doesn't quite understand why humans who are supposed to fight against other races end up pointing their swords, guns, swords and halberds at their own compatriots?Why do human beings always like to seek their own sense of superiority from the pain of the weak?

Vera has been wandering under the name "Alex" for five years. No matter where she goes, she always hides her feminine and feminine appearance, and only says her name is "Alex" to the outside world.

Five years ago, the Holy See didn't even find out that the Pope had passed away. Instead, they became vigilant because Vera was active in various battlefields. Let him stand against the existence of court.A month ago, under the persecution of the Son of God, the bishop finally lowered his noble head and recognized Adrian's position, but the price was that Alex had to abdicate.

The bishop never imagined that the so-called "covetous" Holy Ancestor was just released by Adrian and Vera, in order to compromise and give in, which in his opinion was "a half-win".

"Vera, you can finally rest." Adrian's letter was a sigh of relief. Now, even if the news that the former Saint Zong had passed away was revealed, they didn't need to be afraid.

Adrian has been crowned in front of the altar, becoming the new Holy Ancestor, and immediately took over the power left behind by the previous Holy Ancestor, from a holy son whose correspondence is checked by others to a person who is now more than ten thousand The holy sect, he and Vera fought a beautiful turnaround.

Adrian also didn't expect Vera to do so beautifully. She has made great achievements in the short five years, running around in the borderlands, and no one dared to commit crimes in the surrounding areas.

She even killed a blood prince.

However, Muxiu is bound to be destroyed by Lin Feng, and now "Alex" has become a thorn in the side of the bishop and the blood clan. Both forces want to kill her, so that Vera can only wander around.She didn't even dare to have too much contact with others, for fear that the forces of the blood race and the bishop would catch those people who had too close contact with her and threaten her.She was so alone, walking alone for five years.

The two are thousands of miles apart, and Adrian is only pleased with Vera's growth and worried about her health, but he doesn't know that Vera's situation is much more dangerous than he imagined.

Vera has been wrapped in a thick white robe with gold patterns all year round, which looks solemn, but it is actually to cover up her petite and slender figure, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent others from approaching and touching her.

Vera who has the white rose cross is immortal, and even if she is injured, the wound will heal in a very short time, as if the god of time has favored her. For five years, Vera's appearance has not changed, and she has always looked like a girl.

However, the process of continuous injury and continuous healing still left Vera with serious sequelae.

Her physical wounds have healed, but her mental wounds still remain, so that when she has physical contact with others, she will feel heart-piercing pain.

[Phantom neuralgia...] The system's tone was faint and authentic, [The sequelae that only occur after amputation, you are fine, the limbs are not broken, but the person is going crazy. 】

"...Hiss." Vera took a deep breath, thrust Dawn into the ground with her backhand, and stabilized her precarious body. After a while, she eased the severe pain that almost drove people crazy , the eyes are lax and authentic.

"It hurts..."

[It hurts?Just remember it when it hurts. 】The system has become more and more Buddhist in the past five years, the host is a bitch, how can it be changed? 【I promised my father not to commit suicide?What is the difference between what you are doing now and suicide? 】

The system is talking angry. After all, although Vera is often injured, she has desperately survived every battle.

Even if it's not easy.

She doesn't know magic, and her fighting talent is average. Although the Holy Ancestor gave her weapons and his own inheritance of the Holy Light, Vera still can't be as powerful as the Holy Ancestor.

Holy Light Inheritance - As the name suggests, regardless of a person's natural physique and element applicability, this inheritance will reverse the person's physique and turn it into a pure holy light body, which is the legendary "divine body".

From then on, this person can gain faith from others, using the power of faith instead of the magician's elemental magic.

This powerful golden finger, which can almost create gods, falls into Vera's hands and can only make up for her natural magic isolation physique. The only benefit it brings to Vera is that it allows her to gather holy light in the air Instantly draw the magic pattern, without having to buy a large amount of alchemy liquid in private to draw the magic pattern stone - such a big golden finger just saved her a lot of material costs in the end.

The system has never seen such a useless host. The Rosa Cross is used as a medicine bottle, the Holy Light Inheritance is used as an ink cartridge, and even the period of dawn has become limited in number of times due to Vera's lack of wrist strength. arms.

It's really not easy for a waste material like her to pretend to be strong by relying on these things for five years, and just hold up the shell of "Alex".

However, five years is almost reaching the limit.

【so!Stab it!Why do you want to stab Lou Zi? ! ] The heart of the system that followed the host all the way almost collapsed, 【I want you to die, but you can't die so ugly! 】

The system ignorantly said what could be called a scumbag, but Vera ignored it and just focused on getting rid of the pursuers behind her.

Three days ago, Vera discovered the underground laboratory set up by the bishop in a small border town, and discovered that the bishop's plan had already started.In the name of the blood race, he kept capturing humans in border towns, and put them into the experimental research of the Philosopher's Stone, trying to artificially manufacture the Philosopher's Stone.And those who died in the experiment were either shunned to the blood race, or they were hastily buried in the name of war.

The bishop wanted absolute dominion, power and faith in his own hands, and the best way to bring down the Holy Ancestor was to make great achievements—for example, to completely wipe out the blood race.

As long as human beings can become the overlord of the world, it is worth filling in some human lives.

Human beings can give birth, but it is difficult for vampires to have offspring. If they want to expand the group, they can only embrace humans. However, as the initial embrace is passed on from generation to generation, the blood of the vampires will become lower and lower, and finally turn into irrational beasts.Under such circumstances, as long as human beings have a little fire left in the world, they will sooner or later become the unique overlord in the world.

The bishop also covets the two Philosopher's Stones in Alex's hands. Compared to collecting resentment before death by torturing the people, the Philosopher's Stones in Alex's hands are the crystallization of faith in the true sense.

And the bishop who knew the nature of the Holy Ancestor, when he knew that Alex had discovered his "Descent of Light" plan, immediately issued a hunting order. It was just a Holy Ancestor who had abdicated, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

But the bishop didn't dare to underestimate Alex, so he sent all the shadow warlocks from the bishop's line.

As the saying goes, there must be shadows hidden under the light, and the success or failure of a religion cannot avoid sacrifices. The shadow warlocks take in a group of gifted orphans and train them harshly, and finally become the dead who know nothing about hunger and thirst.

The strength of this chasing team was comparable to that of the Holy Ancestor, and Vera couldn't beat it at all, and she didn't dare to go head-to-head with the opponent, lest the two sides face each other, and the opponent would find out that she was a counterfeit.

She fought and fled all the way, the girl hidden under the thick white robe seemed to be able to do a job with ease and was unwilling to kill them all, but in fact she was almost at the end of her rope.

"The Gate of Heaven—" Vera took a deep breath, quickly drew a complex and gorgeous magic circle in the air, and pulled out a magic shotgun from it, "Fire!"

Amidst the deafening explosions, the system saw a large group of men in black robes who were annihilated in the artillery fire from a distance, and couldn't help but said in a black line: [You have completely lost your horse, everyone knows that the Holy Sect is an upright person, and never Sneak attack! 】

"I didn't." Vera tightened her cloak, and with some heartache, she destroyed the shotgun that had completely fallen apart, and retorted, "I am facing the enemy head-on, and I have no regrets."

[All right, all right, you have no shame in your heart. 】The system coaxed perfunctorily, and suddenly raised its voice, 【Reverse at one o'clock behind you!Shadow Assassin!Get out of the way! 】

The Shadow Assassin practiced space magic, which was listed as a taboo. It could hide its figure and quickly close the distance. Vera wanted to avoid it, but the phantom-like pain emerged at an inappropriate time, making her mind go blank.

A sharp dagger pierced her abdomen, and Vera raised her eyelids with difficulty, but met a pair of inhuman eyes, those eyes were immature and empty, but sadly belonged to a child less than ten years old.

Darkness, darkness everywhere.

Vera gritted her teeth to bear the pain, and knocked the little child flying with a blast of holy light. She pulled out her dagger and grabbed the white rose cross on her neck.

"I am the beginning, I am the end - I will give the water of the spring of life to those who are thirsty to drink freely. Holy light - God's blessing!"

The huge brilliance exploded, and the huge angel stretched its pure white wings like a dove in the air, and lowered its eyes compassionately and gently.

The severing magic attached to the dagger disappeared under the healing of the holy light, and those shadow warlocks who were chasing after them all stopped in front of the huge angel statue, thinking in a daze that the angel of the gods would come to the world and judge them .

In this almost dazzling brilliance, they didn't see a ray of brilliance approaching like the dawn in an instant, cutting towards them in the air.

"May the dawn be as bright as the sun shining on the earth, may the darkness be invisible before the flames, and may... all pain be the darkness before the dawn—"

On the battlefield strewn with corpses, Vera, who was at dawn, walked through the blood-stained land, wiped away the bloody tears on her face almost numbly, and whispered: "System, I came to save the world!" ,Is it right?"

【certainly. 】The system understands what the host is struggling with, but it does not intend to let her escape in a self-deceiving manner, 【Sacrifice is always inevitable. They are knives in the hands of the wicked. They are good in nature but do evil things. Death will give them a fair sentence. .As for you, the host, please don't forget that compassion is the mercy of the superior, but right now either you die or they die, your empathy can be regarded as stupid. 】

"I understand." Vera glanced at the corpses on the ground. There were even relieved smiles on the faces of those dead, as if they had glimpsed the rain and sunshine at the last moment. "May the dead rest in peace."

Vera went to towns and cities to announce the archbishop's "Descent of Light" plan to the world. At the same time, the Holy Pope and the bishop broke due to disagreements, and the church has since been divided into two.

The "Descent of Light" plan was announced to the world, and the world was in an uproar. As another pillar of the human world, the Hunter Association almost instantly pointed the finger at the bishop, intending to kill his plot in the cradle.

The turmoil of human beings has not been hidden from the eyes of the blood race. When they realize that this is a good opportunity to control the overall situation, no matter whether they are ambitious or plan to fish in troubled waters, the blood race is almost out of the nest.

The world was in complete chaos, many people died, including priests, vampire hunters, and many vampires. Sometimes Vera walked through one empty town after another, only feeling a hollow pain in her heart.

[There will always be such a day. 】The system comforted her, 【If you don't expose this secret, many people will die, and the world will be destroyed in the ultimate light in the end. 】

"System, I'm just a little scared." Vera clutched her skirt, suffocated by the desperate scene in front of her eyes, "Can I really save this world?"

"If it is the father, he must have a way to solve the current bad situation, and will not sit back and watch the situation deteriorate into the current situation."

"If it is the father, he will definitely not be controlled by Xiaoxiao's generation, and even he alone can shock the entire blood clan and the Holy See."

"He is the sun in the sky, the god of grace in the world, and I, who is so weak, what right do I have to talk nonsense...that I can inherit his life?"

The more you know, the heavier the weight of life. On the day Alex closed her eyes, Vera understood the meaning of "death"—but now, so many people died because of her deeds .

Vera bumped into the main force of the blood race, and they had already invaded the core city of the human kingdom, and wherever they went, there were mourning and bloodshed.

Vera stood on the ruins and looked at the mighty team from a distance. She held the Holy Spear in her hand tightly, until her knuckles turned white.

【The bishop is now being suppressed by Adrian and hunted down by the Hunter Association. It can be said that he has lost his rights and the hearts of the people. He must hate you to the bone and will definitely take revenge on you desperately. 】

【Even if you try your best to repel the blood race now, it will only seriously hurt its vitality. When the bishop catches you, he will definitely execute you with the cruelest punishment. 】

【Host, people have hope only when they are alive, and there is no shame in lingering, it is for doing more things in the future. 】

The system's calm words and Alex's teachings echoed in her mind all the time, and Vera was momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to do.

If you fight, you will die; if you don't fight, you will be ashamed.

She was ashamed of her father.

——"There is nothing... more tragic than a meaningless sacrifice."

Father's words are still lingering in her ears, but Vera has never been more confused than this moment.

[Let's go, this matter needs a long-term plan, at least, you have to wait until Adrian's reinforcements arrive here. 】

The system spoke soothing words of comfort. It was extremely contradictory. It not only hoped that the host would have a dedicated heart, but also hoped that the host would always be rational and calm.

Vera subconsciously followed the system's suggestion, turned around and prepared to leave, but for some reason, her heart tightened suddenly, her golden pupils shrank suddenly, and a triangular pattern appeared in her eyes.

[The All-Seeing Eye]——

In Vera's eyes, she instantly understood everything that happened in the city thousands of meters away.

A woman with glamorous and decadent facial features stands on the city wall, holding a small baby in her arms. Facing the screaming people in the city, she has a smile on her face and her red lips parted, as if she is telling sweet words of love. .

But in the next second, her hand painted with blood red Kodan relaxed, pinching the small head of the crying baby in her arms.

Like a delicate flower, she twisted off that immature and petite head.

——The crying stopped abruptly.

Vera suddenly felt cold, the wind blowing against her face was so cold, so cold, it took away all the warmth in her body the moment it passed through her chest, as if her heart was empty.

——What should be burned to warm the world?

Vera pursed her lips, and clenched the Holy Spear in her hand, as if resonating, the silver-white spear-body instantly lit up with a golden soft light, as bright as a newborn sun.

"Father—please forgive me."

Forgive me for continuing to move forward knowing that I must die, and choosing to sacrifice even though I am confused. Forgive me for persisting in such meaningless and foolish behavior that violates my oath.

Vera tightened her golden-patterned white robe and jumped down from the ruined tower.
