"Finally found you, Roa!"
In the darkness, the nun raised her head. She used the "Cremation Ritual" to attach flames to the black key and used the "Armor Effect" to project it.
Six fireballs suddenly appeared in the withered forest, and each fireball had a destructive power no less than that of an infantry grenade.
However, Roa still dodged such an attack easily. He looked at the nun's face, and for the first time, an expression other than pleasure appeared on his face - surprise.
"You are—Alicia?"
When she heard the name, the nun's already terrifying expression became even more distorted.
"Alicia is dead. The one standing here is Xiel, the Xiel of the 'Burying Agency'!"
While speaking, Xier did not stop attacking, and black keys kept projecting out from her hands. Based on the "iron armor effect", various attributes were continuously added. In addition to the "cremation style" that had just been used, there was also the "burial style" with petrification attributes, and the "wind burial style" with drying attributes.
Xiel used this method to destroy nearly three-digit Dead Apostles, and was fearfully called "Bow" by the Dead Apostle world. However, Roa was obviously not an ordinary Dead Apostle. He either dodged or used his hands to accurately cut in, easily dissolving round after round of "Black Keys", and even had the energy to speak.
"Is it the name you took when you joined the church? You're saying goodbye to your past self with this. What a stupid stubbornness. Do you think you can start over like this?"
"No! It's not a fresh start, it's just revenge on you, Roa!!! Set!"
As he chanted a short section, a thunder-like impact swept around Roa's body.
The black key that had previously missed and been bounced away seemed to be pulled by lightning and flew back.
"A tracking spell has been added to the black keys? That's a good idea, but—"
As he spoke, Roa stopped and swept his leg towards a nearby dead tree.
With just one kick, he broke the tree that two people could hug together near the root. The thick and huge trunk fell down, just blocking Hei Jian who was flying back.
"—This little trick can't defeat me. You should know it clearly after experiencing it yourself. Or has the current "Burying Agency" fallen to the point where it can only play tricks? How sad! If I had known this, I should have set stricter standards. Oh, yes, let me tell you something interesting. The "Burying Agency" you joined was founded by me eight hundred years ago. This means that neither Alicia nor Xiel can escape my influence. Isn't it ironic and hard to accept?"
The attack stopped, and the magic powers of various attributes wrapped around the girl also fell silent, and darkness enveloped the forest again.
Seeing Xier like this, Luo A shook his hands in disappointment: "You can't stand it? It's boring. You say you want revenge, but in reality you only have this much awareness. It's useless. It's better for you to die."
"this... "
"Hmm? What do you want to say? Just say it. I will still give you this little time, because you are my descendant."
"I already knew about this."
The suppressed voice suddenly rose, and at the same time, the huge magic power stored in Xiel's body also rose.
Of course she knew. Having inherited all of Roa's memories, how could she not know such a thing? Even if she didn't want to look through it, the huge memory that had gone through seventeen reincarnations would still reveal some fragments from time to time, especially when she was emotionally unstable.
She had long since gotten over the emotions of being unable to accept, hating herself, and wanting to die. Now she had only one thought in her mind - to kill Luoa. She must kill him, using all her strength!
"Seven Liberation—Seventh Holy Scripture: Impeachment of Original Sin!"
Magic power surged, holy light shone, and the holy book with countless holy words engraved on it based on the unicorn's horn was completely released.
The cover of the book disintegrated and reconstructed to form the outer shell, and the pages of the book, which were the embodiment of the Holy Word, floated outward, swirled, and condensed into silver ammunition.
The moment the impact cone was formed, Xier pulled the trigger and fired the trump card she had prepared for many years at Roa—a sharp cone specifically targeting the soul.
The speed of the sharp cone is faster than the black keys, and the power contained is also greater than the black keys. More importantly, the sharp cone's characteristic of "negating reincarnation" is the nemesis of Roa.
"Troublesome stuff."
The dead apostle who had reincarnated eighteen times finally stopped smiling and kept as much distance from the spikes as possible, no longer dodging by the blades as he had done before.
Seeing this, Xier became excited. He approached with the impact cone in hand, pulling the trigger continuously, shooting out the sharp cones continuously.
In terms of movement speed, there was no obvious difference between Roa and Xier, and the space for movement was inevitably compressed. There was also a hint of sinisterness in the arrogant eyes. He inserted his empty hands into his sleeves, as if he was going to take out something to fight back.
However, before he pulled his hand out, a dark shadow enveloped the advancing Xier. It was the long-haired man. If he hadn't called out Roa's full name, Xier wouldn't have appeared from his hiding place and launched a fierce attack on Roa.
Because of the previous conversation, Xier always remained vigilant against this unknown person. Knowing Roa's full name and daring to threaten him blatantly, and even creating a barrier that could hide from Elquet, this man must be very different!
However, being alert is one thing, and being able to defend is another. Xier saw the man's movement trajectory and was prepared to dodge or even counterattack in time.
But just before she was about to put her move into action, with more than three meters between them, the long-haired man suddenly spoke, uttering a rhyme that did not belong to any European language.
"No!"
When she realized that the rhyme was from Japan, the country where her mother was born, she found that she could not move her body.
Fingers, arms, neck, legs, feet... every part of the body is -
No, not only that, the air around them became stagnant.
"It's a barrier!"
The moment he reacted, Xiel injected magic power into the impact cone in his hand.
Magic power flowed through the metal gun body and was injected into the pointed cone at the front. The pointed cone quickly turned into a page and dispersed amid the shining holy light.
At the same time, Xiel regained his ability to move - the mystery would be ineffective in the face of a greater mystery. Xiel's "Seventh Holy Scripture" was a thousand-year-old mystery, and just touching it was enough to destroy all barriers with a history of less than a thousand years.
Unfortunately, in this short period of time, the long-haired man had already crossed a distance of three meters like a ghost.
The black coat fluttered, and the man stretched out his fist and hit the girl in the abdomen.
It was a blow that could break even a large tree. Xier's body flew up and fell to the ground like a rag bag.
