At this moment Eve felt her own powerlessness. She could do nothing in the face of the real threat. The peaceful yet hideous face was right before her eyes, like a ghost breaking out of a nightmare.
Seleu beside him pulled Eve and tried to drag her away, but they were still too slow at that speed.
Everything happened between lightning and thunder.
The sharp sword broke through the smoke and fire. Lorenzo couldn't stop Archbishop Lawrence, but as long as he delayed for a few seconds, it would be fine. It was as if he had a ridiculous hope that if he delayed for just a few seconds, Eve would survive and something would happen.
So he threw the sword in his hand.
But nothing changed. The big sword did not hit Archbishop Lawrence at all, but only stuck in the ground beside him. However, perhaps the only difference was that at the last moment Eve pushed Seleu away with force. The thin girl was very light and fell to the other side like a feather. Then the sharp broken sword was placed on Eve's neck.
Everything ended. Priest Lawrence held Eve hostage and looked at Lorenzo with a smile.
He won, and won completely.
The whole situation ended when he took Eve hostage.
"Never make your intentions clear to others, kid."
It seems to be teaching, but also seems to be mocking.
Lorenzo took a deep breath, and then the cavalryman stood in a relatively safe position.
"So, you have no way to escape."
The soldiers in the darkness walked out. This time, unlike the previous mobile aiming, Priest Lawrence just stood there, staring at him with the thermite rifle. In the deeper darkness, the sound of machinery turning could be heard. The wailing of the demons had stopped at some point, and the purification agency had taken full control of the place.
"But I have a hostage."
"Your hostage is not valuable. Besides, isn't she your target?"
"Alas... child, you still haven't learned my teachings."
Dean Lawrence smiled and spoke words that only Lorenzo could understand.
The flames rising from the armor froze slightly. Lorenzo was fooled again, or rather, misled by Priest Lawrence's plan.
Dean Lawrence is also a fraud. You will never know his purpose until he reveals the truth, Lorenzo's thoughts flew.
Is his target really Eve
If it was Eve, then was his words now misleading me? Making me relax my guard
But then again, if his target was really Eve, then what motive did Eve have for him to do that
In Lorenzo's eyes, Eve is just a young and energetic kid. If there is anything special about her... the strange secret blood in her body and being Arthur's father.
Lorenzo felt as if he had grasped something, the chaos of the Holy Night, the theft of the Book of Revelation, the development of inferior secret blood, and Eve who was now carrying the secret blood.
Yes, the secret blood technology is only possessed by the cult, so where did Eve's secret blood come from, or... As the head of the Purification Agency, Arthur, have they also developed secret blood
The whole situation became more and more confusing, but it also made Lorenzo believe it.
"No, you won't. She is your target. You won't kill her."
