Chapter 408: Undercurrents (Part 2)
"Cough, cough——"
Seeing Sagittarius' surprised look, the Pope immediately guessed what he was thinking, and said helplessly: "Originally, if Sagittarius was still there, I could give him this golden arrow. With his strength, he couldn't do it at all.
It is necessary to use such despicable means."
"But it's a pity that Sagittarius has been missing for many years. In the entire sanctuary, you are the only one left who can maximize the effect of this golden arrow!"
"But your strength is far inferior to Tong Hu and the others. If you want to hit with one hit, you can only use this despicable method!"
In the entire sanctuary, only Sagittarius and Arrow can maximize the effects of arrow weapons.
Although, for the saints who have mastered the small universe, they can throw arrows with bare hands to achieve the ejection effect of ordinary bows and crossbows.
But when their opponents are also fighters who also control the small universe, throwing arrows with bare hands loses the meaning of arrow weapons.
Hearing the Pope's "helplessness", Ptolemy the Sagittarius took a deep breath and took the golden arrow with a slight trembling.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Pope!"
He lowered his head and said bitterly: "As a Saint Seiya and a believer of the goddess Athena, it is really difficult for me to commit such an act of false betrayal."
"But I can promise you that I will try my best to kill that evil god with this golden arrow!"
He can put aside his pride and make sneak attacks, shooting cold arrows from behind others, but he doesn't want to violate the most basic principle - betraying the goddess.
Even if that's false.
"You promise? What are you promising me?" Seeing Sagittarius's stubborn appearance, an unknown fire suddenly rose in the Pope's heart.
Given the opponent's strength, if he didn't pretend to surrender and attack at close range, there would be no chance of success.
What he wants is to kill Saori Kido as much as possible and never allow Sagittarius to waste such a good opportunity.
"I commit my life to you!"
Ptolemy raised his head and said seriously: "If the assassination fails, I will never come back to you alive!"
At this moment, he was already prepared to die for this assassination operation.
"Your life?"
The pope's kind tone suddenly became a lot colder.
He sneered: "Your life is worthless to me!"
Ptolemy was shocked when he heard these cold and heartless words. He felt that the Pope standing in front of him seemed to be a different person and became extremely strange.
However, before he could ask, he saw the Pope clenching the five fingers of his right hand and saying to himself: "Forget it, since you don't want to, let me help you!"
"Fantasy Demon King Fist"
Suddenly, a powerful microcosmic aura filled the pope's body.
Ptolemy immediately prepared to take precautions, but it was already too late.
Ding--
He felt a golden arc flash in front of his eyes, and then something in his mind seemed to be turned on.
Just now, I strongly rejected the plan of pretending to surrender, but now I feel that it is not so difficult to accept.
"Okay, just do what I just said, got it?" the pope told Ptolemy again.
"It's the Pope!"
Ptolemy Sagittarius no longer hesitated this time, he agreed very decisively, and then turned around and left without looking back.
It's just that he had a vague feeling that he seemed to have forgotten something just now, and he couldn't remember it anyway.
"Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news. Whether you can successfully resolve this crisis in the Holy Realm depends on your performance!" Under the mask, looking at the back of Sagittarius as he left, the pope raised his lips with pride.
.
'Phantom Demon King Fist' is not an ordinary offensive move, but a special move that can control the opponent's personal consciousness unconsciously.
With this move, he unknowingly controlled Amagi's personal consciousness and made him no longer resist switching to Kido Saori's side.
As for the memory of him just attacking the opponent, he has blocked it.
Therefore, Sagittarius is in no way aware that his actions are under his control.
And the reason he put so much effort into Sky Arrow was because he wanted to catch him by surprise and take him off guard.
The gold-level combat power is too conspicuous, and Tong Hu and others will definitely be extra vigilant against this level of combat power.
Therefore, although the gold-level combat ability is strong, the possibility of assassinating Saori Kido under such circumstances is extremely slim.
On the contrary, for Saints with lower than gold strength, because they are not strong enough to attract attention, Tong Hu will not be too careful to guard against them, and the possibility of success is actually greater.
After arranging everything, he started walking back happily, preparing to return to the top of the Holy Mountain.
At this moment, someone suddenly called him from behind.
"My Lord Pope, please stay!"
The Pope looked out, only to see two Silver Saints, including Pavo and Centaur, escorting a group of fighters wearing pitch-black uniforms and rushing towards them.
He recognized it at a glance as the Dark Saint who was exiled to Death Queen Island.
Although the sanctuary is Athena's palace in the human world, it is a sacred place. All fighters who practice here have received the bright teachings of love and justice.
But the sanctuary is a mixed bag, and not everyone can be consistent and strictly abide by the doctrine of the sanctuary.
Therefore, it is inevitable to breed some criminals.
As a punishment, Athena banished those villains to the Island of the Queen of Death, hoping to make them change their ways.
Unfortunately, there are very few people who can truly reform. On the contrary, more and more villains are being exiled to Death Queen Island.
Eventually, Death Queen Island became a gathering point for those villains.
They also imitated the Saint Cloth and forged a pitch-black armor, which they called the Dark Saint Cloth. From then on, the Dark Saints were born.
However, their so-called Dark Saint Cloth is just a fake, and it is far from the real Saint Cloth. It is not even as good as the lowest bronze Saint Cloth, and it is even more incomparable with the Dark Cloth of the Underworld Warrior.
After all, they are just a group of villains who are not qualified to obtain the Holy Cloth.
"Have all the Dark Warriors been brought back?" Looking at the approaching Pavo, the Pope asked softly.
In order to deal with Kido Saori, he no longer had to worry too much, so he recruited all the Dark Saints from Death Queen Island.
Mayura replied helplessly: "They didn't listen to the Pope at all. They were very resistant and started fighting with us as soon as they met."
"In order to completely subdue them, we had no choice but to start a battle with them."
"In the end, nearly half of the Dark Saints died on the spot, leaving only about twenty who surrendered due to their strength and were successfully brought back to the sanctuary by us."
The dark warriors who were exiled to the Death Queen Island are a group of villains, so they are deadly when they attack.
For the sake of their own safety, they did not dare to be too careless. It was really helpless that there would be so many casualties.
"More than twenty? That's barely enough!" The Pope nodded.
Against generals and kings against kings, he really didn't expect these ineffective guys to be of much help. He just wanted to use them to deal with Tong Hu's low-end combat power.
Suddenly, he noticed that among a group of Dark Saint warriors, there was someone wearing a red and white suit that was completely different from the Dark Saint Cloth.
"That's...Phoenix?"
