Bride of the Great Demon King

"let's start!"

"Yes, my lord."

In the midday sun, brown bats soared into the sky.

……

The holy hall, located in the deepest part of the cathedral, is a tall building made entirely of steel frames and stained glass.The light swaying down through the huge lens on the spire subtly forms the image of a dove spreading its wings on the ground, and around the white dove is a colorful halo formed by refraction of glass.

This is a quiet, peaceful place full of holy energy.At the same time, it is also the highest-level martial arts arena in the Northern Bright Temple.The defensive magic inside the holy hall is enough to resist the repeated bombing of holy magic, while the powerful healing magic circle on the ground can ensure that both sides of the duel will be healed immediately after the winner is decided.

The middle-aged man who represented the highest dignity of the church walked indifferently to the center of the hall.Even without saying a word, the majesty emanating from him is enough to make people want to worship him.

The God Knight of Rhodes who has just been promoted has just turned 30 years old this year.This kind of combat talent can already be regarded as the best in the temple.Of course, compared with the current Pope, he still has a considerable gap in terms of strength and combat experience.

"Your Majesty, there are only two of us left now." The divine knight secretly rallied his strength to resist the Pope's aura, "I think you'd better admit defeat directly."

"reason?"

Rhodes licked his lips, gritted his teeth and took out a golden necklace from his pocket.A pendant in the shape of a budding rose hangs from a delicate chain of solid gold.Compared with the golden chain, the color of the pendant is obviously much duller. From the corners that have been worn to black, it can be seen that this pendant should only be gold-plated.

"Do you know this? I have worn this several times in front of His Majesty's face!"

"..."

"This is the pendant that Veronica has been wearing close to her body. She didn't tell me the origin of this thing until we reached the stage of skin-to-skin contact. It was a gift from my father. Do you have any impression now? "

"..."

"Yes, Veronica is your daughter. You must be wondering why no one has ever mentioned this to you. The reason is simple. Although the church does not restrict believers from marrying, Veronica It is the child born to you and your cousin, an illegitimate daughter who cannot be seen in the public eye! Even so, you have never been stingy with your love for her, and you always take time to meet her secretly, or appoint your confidant Someone sent her a letter in a surreptitious way. Until nearly a year ago..."

"I did not continue to contact her." The Pope said in an indifferent voice.

"Yes. Poor Veronica, there has been no news from her respected father, and she has no way of leaving the hermitage specially arranged for her. As a last resort, she can only hope for her most loyal admiration A young and promising knight of the gods. She shared this secret with him and asked him to contact his father with her token."

"I'm afraid you are not sincere to her, are you?" The Pope used his sharp eyes to see through the heart of the divine knight.

"Oh, yes. I just happened to pass by that village once, and accidentally discovered the secret of that charming lady. Of course, I only had a vague guess at that time, and it took several months to get it It has been personally confirmed by the parties.”

"So you plan to threaten me with her token."

"No, no, this matter is nothing more than a scandal at best. In the church that has always valued power, even if I can use this to force you to step down, it is impossible for the next Pope to be my turn. What's more, I How could I have the heart to disappoint such a beautiful young lady? After I came to Sacred Heart City, I started an investigation for her sincerely. First of all, I guess the reason why Your Majesty suddenly cut off contact with her beloved daughter is probably because The unsuccessful operation half a year ago. I lost such a huge amount of power all at once. Your Majesty must have been devastated by it for a while, right? So I plan to use the necklace to attract Your Majesty’s attention first, and then settle the matter in private. thing."

"I'm afraid it's for blackmail?" The pope showed a slight sarcasm on his face.

"It's reasonable for me to deliver letters for Your Majesty, right?" The knight said bluntly about his motives, "However, it's a pity that His Majesty turned a blind eye to the personal things of his beloved daughter. I I was puzzled by this, until I secretly applied blood tracing magic to Veronica's blood, and I discovered a secret. It stands to reason that, as her father, the magic should be traced back to Her Majesty soon. But this is not the case, the magic shows that there is no immediate family member of this poor young lady in Sacred Heart City."

The Pope frowned.

"Now do you understand? The reason why I chose the decisive battle before the gods." The knight of the gods breathed out a long breath, as if he saw the supreme power waving to him, "What an amazing secret! Someone dared to pretend to be a teacher Zong! If I don’t use this secret in exchange for some amazing benefits, I will be sorry for myself!”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you here?" The stern middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.

The divine knight laughed confidently: "If I die, everyone in the Great Cathedral will know tomorrow that you are a counterfeit! So I advise you to admit defeat! I can give up the right to be your master and return you Freedom. This is much better than being executed, isn't it?"

"Even if I make you Pope, are you sure you will be re-elected in three years?"

"All I need is an opportunity. I'm still very young, aren't I? I just need an opportunity, a little time, who can tell what will happen in the future?" The divine knight seemed very confident about his future.

"That is to say, as long as you leave the holy hall intact, no one will tell you?" No emotion could be heard from the pope's gloomy tone.

"No, no, no, I will put myself on the lottery appropriately. After all, it is very lucky to win against you. If you don't suffer any injuries, it will make people suspicious!"

"That's good." The middle-aged man nodded.

"Huh?" The divine knight took a step back vigilantly, holding the horizontal sword in front of his chest.

"No, so far there is no weapon that can withstand the invisible string of curses, and the sword in your hand is also unable." The middle-aged man suddenly raised his right hand.

The divine knight let the opponent walk in front of him as if he was stunned, and then slowly pressed a palm on his mouth.

"Hear my cursing voice? From today you will lose all ability to express and act, but not the ability to think. Sounds fun, doesn't it? You will have a lifetime to plan all kinds of things Evil deeds, but unable to act."

The divine knight still stood there blankly.

The "Pope" lowered his arms, his figure flickered, and he took on a completely different appearance. "Is it still too reluctant?" He looked at his palm.

"Huh?" A low cry came from the back of the huge cross in the holy hall.

"Who?!" The ghost knight, who had recovered his original appearance, quickly picked up the shield on the ground and threw it out.

"Hiss—" Brut couldn't help but let out a cry of pain when the jagged shield cut into the bat's wings from the front.The poor Blood Duke screamed unluckily in his heart.Because this place is full of holy power and few people come in and out, he chose this place as a temporary place.Foothold.Who would have thought that there would be such a duel, and the identity of the fake pope would be unintentionally revealed!

Hull's figure was as fast as lightning, and Brutt had no time to think about it. Concerned about the invisible attack method shown by the Necromancer Knight just now, he had to grit his teeth and snap off one of his bat wings.

With a crackling sound, the blond Duke trembled in pain.Fortunately, he also escaped the attack from the dead knight in time.

Leaping towards the back of the Necromancer Knight, the Duke's eyes were ruthless.

In terms of pure speed, the blood race is never afraid of anyone!

Two figures, one black and one white, fought against each other several times in the air.

Since the opponent is not afraid of sunlight at all, and even has a high resistance to light magic, this subversive attribute makes the Necromancer have to choose to delay time and wait for the opportunity to launch the second curse attack.

Similarly, due to ignorance of the attacking methods of the Necromancer Knights, and at the same time, it has to be considered that there are many experts from the light side outside who may rush in at any time. He didn't notice that the Necromancer Knight didn't use that trick to suddenly restrain the God Knight from the beginning to the end.

"Bah bah bah! Dead blood!" The blond vampire who thought he had succeeded in sneak attack spat a few times in disgust.

The Necromancer turned his head and returned the bitten neck to its original position.

"It's ironic! The person pretending to be the pope is actually a dead person. I really look forward to the expressions of the people in the church when they find out the truth, hahahaha!" Brut suddenly felt that he didn't need to worry about the other party calling for reinforcements.Obviously, the other party is not much more innocent than him in terms of identity. "You should think about how to explain it to people outside! I'll take my leave first!"

With the help of a bat wing, the Blood Duke turned over in the air and rushed towards the gate.

"You can't go!" The Necromancer raised his palm again.

"Well... this is..." Feeling that his body was suddenly bound by an invisible force, Brutt was horrified to find that neither the dark element nor the light element could cut off the force that bound him.

"Listen to my curse! Evil race that lives on blood in the dark, I curse you..."

boom! ! !

With a loud crash, all the glass above the holy hall burst at the same time, and colorful fragments fell like a shower!
