The great pope with the eyes of the gods, the old man with the title of "Dark Emperor", has in front of him an ancient scripture that reveals the atmosphere of vicissitudes of life.
This book is as big as a heavy tower shield, and I don’t know where it was hidden by the Dark Emperor before. It just floats in mid-air, slowly exuding the aura of vicissitudes of time. Joshua flipped through the book page by page, as if the battlefield in front of him had nothing to do with him, and it did not affect his immersion in deep reading at all. It wasn't until the blue dragon girl showed the eternal dragon form that shocked the whole audience that he slowly raised his head and stared at the mighty dragon, with a sneer on his lips.
"The eternal dragon ball that was taken away by you is indeed here. What's even more wonderful is that the eternal dragon blood in this girl is richer than the eternal dragon mother we captured before. Open the top door like this and go to Noah Ark’s certainty is even greater. Is there anything better than this?”
Just when Bluetooth was about to activate time magic to save Goron, he saw the old Pope Joshua calmly caressing the book in front of him slowly and quickly, and suddenly a page flew out. , turned into thousands of heavy crossbow arrows more than two meters long and flew towards the blue dragon.
These crossbow arrows, which are comparable in size and weight to throwing spears, are by no means phantoms. They exude an aura of existence that is even more real than this world. Each arrow is a genuine legendary-level weapon, and is also enchanted with the highest level of dragon-breaking magic. Thousands of arrows were fired in unison, and I am afraid that even Retusus' flying dragon knights, who were running rampant across the Blade Tower Continent and ruling the entire sky here, would be wiped out by this blow. In other words, if Bluetooth takes this blow head-on...
Certain death!
****
It was too late, but it was too soon. At the moment when Gron and Bluetooth were facing a life and death crisis at the same time, the old bastard who had been hiding behind others and wasted his time finally took action at the last moment. The most mysterious old man in Blackwater City can't move, but if he moves, it will be earth-shattering. Facing the rain of arrows that can kill even the seventh-order dragon, he actually ducked in front of the blue dragon, and he didn't know that old man Odin had used it. By some means, the arrow rain that originally covered a large space around him seemed to be attracted by something, and all flew towards his body. Then it disappeared completely like a mud cow entering the sea.
Although I have said so much, in fact all of this only happens in a blink of an eye. Most people on the battlefield had no idea what had just happened. When they noticed, the attacks of Gronn and the Plague Knight had both fallen on each other. Although the blue dragon girl did not die in Joshua's arrow rain However, her time magic failed to help Gronn in the end, because just like Mr. Odin, the Death Knight also acted as a shield for the Plague Knight at the critical moment.
Time magic itself does not have the slightest lethality. Bluetooth's "time stop" technique that could have allowed Gronn to reverse the situation of the battle, fell on others, and it only made the death knight pause for a moment. It was at this moment that continuous metal collision sounds came from Goron, which was the result of the plague female knight's "arm sword" and "headbutt" hitting the target. Of course, the shadow of the great martial arts skills that Gronn learned from his beloved wife in the maze of time did not make things easier for the Plague Knight. Even if the little ogre doesn't transform into a man-eating king, he still possesses indescribable strange powers. Gronn hit the female knight's chest with his full-strength leg club, smashing her entire body into pieces. The strange thing is that these flesh and blood actually have a foul smell, as if they have been rotting for a long time, and ugly parasites can be seen squirming in some pieces of flesh. But in this situation, no one has the intention to pay attention to these details.
The female knight's head flying in the air still had a smile on her lips, because she was very sure that her sacrifice would not be in vain. Gronn's physical defense is comparable to legendary armor. It is not an exaggeration to call it "invulnerable". It is simply a steel fortress. However, the truly terrifying thing about Plague Knight's attack just now is not the physical damage, but the special magic attached to it.
The Holy See has collected the source of "epidemic", the root of "plague" and the "seed of virus" from the burial ground for thousands of years. It was the ultimate poison that even Hydra's god-killing poison could not match, and in the blow just now, she had injected all the poison sources into Gronn's body.
The Plague Knight's head finally rolled to the Death Knight's feet. He leaned over and looked at the last remains of his comrade, with neither joy nor sadness in his expression. One of the trump cards of the Holy See, the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", is now the only one left. This time the task was far more difficult than they imagined. Who would have thought that an inconspicuous island on the sea could hide so many things beyond common sense. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were able to crush almost any hostile force of the Holy See on the Blade Tower Continent, but here, on this island, in the Tower of Babel, the laboratory left behind by the Magic Emperor, their power was almost insignificant.
However, efforts will eventually pay off. Although the Knights of the Apocalypse are still some distance away from the initial and ultimate mission goal, right before their eyes, they may gain something that is no less than the ultimate mission goal—that is, the "Final War Witch."
For more than ten thousand years, the Holy See of Holy Light has been sparing no effort to search and destroy everything about the "divine enemy" the Magic Emperor. In the end, the world was left with the violent and evil deeds of the Magic Emperor and the final fate of being an enemy of God. However, of course the Holy See will not really destroy those precious magic documents or any magic tool that is directly related to the Magic Emperor. Perhaps the original Holy Light Holy See did not violate the oracle of the Lord of Holy Light, but when a certain pope accidentally discovered that even the magic tools that preserved the magic power of the Magic Emperor would not be destroyed by the "omniscience and omnipotence" of the Holy Light. When the Lord realizes, no great pope will be willing to destroy those things that are full of infinite temptation and infinite value.
Just like the "Final War Witch" in front of me... Thousands of years ago, the Holy See accidentally obtained a female head made of all metal. Although no magic fluctuations were detected in this head, when After the Vatican tried to use any method to destroy this metal head, it became very interested in it because it "never wears out"... "indestructible"... and even "eternal" ”, these are all adjectives that are exclusive to the Magic Emperor and cannot be reached by even the gods in the heavens. For example, the twelve famous God-killing Devices that even the gods cannot destroy and can only be passively sealed.
According to thousands of years of continuous research by the Vatican's secret research institute, it was finally concluded that this thing is most likely related to one of the unfinished God-destroying artifacts of the legendary Magic Emperor, and even... This thing is simply a This is a divine annihilation tool that only needs the final step to be completed. A true, invincible god-destroying tool that can be used arbitrarily and has not been sealed by the gods.
Its owner will become the new magic emperor and rule the world.
But first... you have to get all its components together.
However, after thousands of years of efforts by the Holy See, they have never been able to fulfill this long-cherished wish. They have successively found the arms and the torso, but they have never been able to find the final leg components. For this reason, every generation of the Great Pope will assign this ultimate task to the Holy See’s secret execution force, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, allowing them to use existing components. And promises the ultimate reward - "ultimate liberation."
The death knight was extremely excited, and he could no longer maintain a calm and cold mentality. After taking two deep breaths, the death knight finally calmed down. He suddenly lifted up the black robe he was wearing, revealing a trembling and terrifying body. The death knight has no flesh and blood from the neck down. Under the head, which looks no different from that of an ordinary human being, is a charred, rough, black smoke-filled skeleton.
The death knight controls part of the power of the Law of Death. He can drive the corpses of warriors to continue fighting for him. It is not surprising to have the body of an undead, just like those undead witches.
However, the strange thing is that the death knight does not "die". He is not an undead person, he is still alive. Yes, he is a real living person. Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, it should be said that he is a person who has been deprived of the "death" forcibly. All living things have rights, neither living people nor pitiful monsters that can be considered undead.
This is the price. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have overwhelming power that can easily crush the same level or even high-level experts. In addition to their faith, they also paid a terrible price.
"Death" cannot obtain real "death". "Famine" eats everything, but has never been truly full once. "War" longs for peace and a peaceful and peaceful life, but he can never escape the influence of war. curse. The "plague" looks healthy and beautiful, but it suffers from the pain of countless diseases all the time.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Knights of the Apocalypse are not afraid of death, and even look forward to death, and are crazy about pursuing "ultimate liberation".

The black smoke in the center of the death knight's ribs cleared, revealing the middle section of a woman's body. It was a body without a head and limbs, made entirely of metal. It was the final body component of the "Final War Witch". Without the death knight's black smoke seal, the body suddenly seemed to be attracted by some kind of force, rushing out of the death knight's chest and flying into the sky. At the same time, the scattered heads, arms and legs on the ground also It flew up, flew towards the torso, and started the splicing and combination process.
"It's true, as long as all the components are complete, the final war witch will start to splice on its own... 'Ultimate Liberation', wait, I'm coming..."
The extremely excited Death Knight did not notice that the ogre boy on the ground who should have turned into a "corpse" was undergoing earth-shaking changes in his body. (~^~)
