"Is this the magic of the church priests..." Olina sighed, "This is the first time I have seen it."
In terms of momentum alone, the "god's presence" completely overwhelmed the evil spirits below. Even the speed of the vortex slowed down for a while, and the heavy rain also began to subside.
Now everyone in Azure Castle is looking up at this divine judgment. The appearance of the trial team has greatly calmed people's uneasiness. Many people have begun to shout and cheer, waiting expectantly for the moment when the evil demon is swallowed up by the blazing sun.
The figure of Hera raised the sword in her hand.
The top of the sword light is the sun.
Nothing can block the brilliance of the sun, not storms, not night, not even evil spirits.
But at this moment, the twin statues, which had been bowing their heads in prayer, suddenly opened their eyes!
It opens its hands to the gods, as if welcoming its protector. The expression on his face was not only devoid of fear, but full of piety and admiration.
Xia Fan suddenly felt that something was not right!
Then what is the reaction of Xie Sui when facing the enemy
—It is clearly waiting for the arrival of the gods!
I saw a ray of light suddenly penetrate the vortex and fall straight on the twin statues.
But the latter did not twist and struggle in this light until it was destroyed as everyone expected.
It's as sweet as sugar.
"Oops!" As a caster of divine magic, Taxis was more keenly aware of the problem than others. She found that her connection with Hera had been severed. No matter how she activated the magic, that sword It has never been able to be cut down.
What's even more incredible is that the gods seem to be merging with the demons.
Judging from the performance of the spell, the beam of light that penetrates the clouds is called "divine grace", and it is also one of the most powerful divine spells that Son of Life is good at. When a successful divine grace is displayed, the believer will be protected by the god, and all abilities will be greatly improved.
But she could never have imagined that the gift of the God of Hera would be applied to an evil demon!
The sun is getting dimmer.
The sun seemed to be swallowed up by dark clouds once again, and the figure of the gods became vague and indistinct.
Only the statue of the Holy Son became more and more like a living thing, its eyes had sparkle, and its body was no longer monotonous gray-white. At this point, except for the extremely oppressive sense of power, it can be said that there is no characteristic in it that can be linked to evil spirits. For a moment, Taxis felt like she was facing another god.
Suddenly, the evil demon looked at the group of dragons in mid-air.
It stretched out a hand to Taksis, its eyes full of contempt.
In an instant, the wind blew violently, and the rainstorm came more quickly than before. Even the elite dragonborn who had experienced battles could not withstand the successive waves of storms. The protective formation they maintained was finally broken, and Taxis was the first one. Got swept out!
The people of Azure Castle were in an uproar!
They discovered that the gods not only failed to defeat the evil demon, but actually made the evil demon stronger, and beat the Judgment Team to pieces with their backhand.
And after absorbing the "divine power", the demon seemed to finally have the remaining power to deal with the fleeing people.
I saw the twin statues flapping their wings, shaking off dozens of feathers - and these feathers shot to the ground like arrows, and turned into new evil demons after landing!
And these monsters are very consistent with people's impressions of evil things.
They are either multi-legged beasts or strange humanoid phantoms, full of hatred for all living creatures. The summoned demons scattered towards the crowd, causing a bloody storm!
But this is not over yet.
The two bodies retracted their lotus-like arms, folded them across their chests, and began to cast new spells.
Soon, several black cracks appeared out of thin air at its feet.
With deafening roars, several large demons rushed out of the cracks and joined the killing team - their targets were those people who were lying on the roofs to avoid disasters. The buildings collapsed under their impact, taking the entire building with them. The residents of the building fell into the wave.
The situation in Azure Castle took a turn for the worse in an instant.
"Hahahahaha——" In the underground well, Phillip laughed wildly.
The spell he has been studying for more than ten years has fully achieved the expected results.
The so-called gods are nothing more than tools of power carefully crafted by the church.
No matter how easy this tool is to use, there will always be a day when it falls into the hands of others.
Now everyone will see that the gods they rely on are no different from the devil, and the Holy Son, the spokesperson of the church, is the devil himself!
From this day on, the foundation of the church will be shaken to its core.
His name and achievements will be recorded in history forever!
…
"Cough... cough..." Taksis pushed away the broken brick walls and beams, and struggled to climb out of the ruins of a house.
Her right arm could no longer move, her sleeve was missing, and her protruding arm was bleeding profusely—it was obvious that she had violently collided with the building during the involuntary fall. But there's nothing to complain about. After falling from a height of dozens of feet, still being alive is a good result.
By the way... Des Moines seems to be not far away.
Until the last moment, the guardian knight tried to catch her like a falling leaf.
Taksis stumbled across the street and found the Dragonborn lying on the ground.
He didn't seem to have suffered much trauma. At most, he looked like a drowned rat from the heavy rain.
"Go and gather all the separated team members, we haven't lost yet!" Taxis patted his head and shouted, "It's impossible for a storm to defeat the Judgment Team. Everyone should be safe and sound."
This time, though, Des Moines didn't respond immediately as usual.
He slowly transformed back into his human form and turned to look at his boss, his eyes blank.
"Lord Yongyi, please tell me this is not true... everything is the illusion effect of the enemy..."
"This is not an illusion, at least not in my opinion." Taxis was silent for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know the specific reason, but the evil twins have indeed received the protection of the gods. Now that I think about it, this is most likely... The reason why the enemy deliberately targeted the Holy Son convoy."
"But shouldn't Hera protect the world?" Des Moines couldn't help shouting, "If it has no good or evil from the beginning, then what's the point of everything we do!?"
The pouring rain flowed down his face, like the tears shed by the guardian knight.
Taksis gritted her teeth bitterly.
She also felt betrayed by the gods, but that didn't mean that what the Tribunal had done in the past was meaningless.
They have destroyed many evil spirits and actually saved thousands of lives.
They have tried many demon-advocates who trampled the laws of the world, and these actions were deeply supported by the people.
Hera was undoubtedly righteous.
Just as the sun will always drive away darkness.
It's just that she doesn't know how to tell these things to the guardian knight.
Finally, she stood up alone, "I'm going to deal with the demon. If I delay it any longer, the entire Azure Castle will be destroyed by it."
"Sir... we can't win." Des Moines murmured, "Even the gods are not on our side, how are you going to fight it?"
"So what?" Taxis faced the heavy rain and transformed into a dragon again. "In the face of any evil, the church has no option to surrender. Maybe one day we will be crushed by the enemy, but before that, I I will try my best.”
After saying that, without looking back, she unfolded her damaged wings and flew into the dark cloud-covered sky.
