Chapter 29 The right hand of the ruler of the underworld

Cathedral of Glory.

The "Lord of Death" transformed by the shadow did not attack immediately. After confirming the location of "Angel of Divine Grace" Franz, he retreated to a dark place outside the room, waiting for the turn of night and day, waiting for the church door to open.

At that moment, it would be Franz's most relaxed and carefree moment.

If the spell was cast now, Franz would probably have a premonition of danger and make a timely defense.

But fighting in the church, he had not yet returned to his peak, and he had no confidence in defeating Franz.

Even the cathedral blessed by the "God of Truth", whose brilliance lasts forever, still has many darknesses that cannot be reached by light. "Death Lord" Tannanos stands among them, seeming to be integrated with them.

In the hall where the teleportation array was arranged, Franz stood up and waited anxiously for the news. Others may not know it, but he knew very well that tonight there would be a result related to his future. No, that was not the case.

It will be the result that affects the situation of the entire world!

The holy light surging in the teleportation array suddenly shined brightly, illuminating the entire room as bright as day, and the aura of divine magic covered everything.

"Is there any result?" Franz's eyes were fixed on the teleportation array.

At this time, two red rays of light jumped up and appeared in the darkness. "Death Lord" Tananos was keenly aware of an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack. The fluctuations created by the teleportation array could cover up all traces before the spell was issued, especially if

Lanz's focus was entirely on receiving the news.

He raised his right hand, and the long black sleeve of the magic robe naturally retracted downwards, revealing a pale palm that was as shriveled as if it had lost all moisture. Every inch of its skin and every line were different from those of ordinary people, mottled with traces of death, forming a

The rune of immortality was inscribed, a faint black air emerged, and a strong deathly silence appeared, as if the kingdom of the dead was reborn under this palm.

Tananos flexed four fingers, leaving only his index finger. The withered nails first lit up a mysterious black-gray color.

He made a rugged sound that was difficult for others to hear, and soul faces appeared around him, twisted and ferocious. But they were all silent, and they poured into the dead black ash at the tip of his index finger, dyeing it with a layer of pale

Color.

The body of the "Death Lord" gradually became transparent and became not much different from the face of the soul. Then it was sucked in by his own index finger. Only a finger mixed with pale and black gray was left in place.

ah!

A shrill scream suddenly sounded. A blurry face flew out from the tip of the index finger with its mouth wide open. In an instant, it transcended time and space and pounced on Franz's back.

"Assassination?" Franz stared blankly at the teleportation array in front of him. He didn't quite understand why he would be assassinated in the heavily guarded Glory Cathedral!

Rays of light exploded from his body, and the triggering extraordinary items tried their best to block the penetration of the face.

But at this moment, the finger that had turned into a strange black and white gray suddenly appeared in front of Franz, passed through the defense that was about to be broken, and gently tapped his forehead.

The initial attack was the most powerful and strangest unique legendary spell of the "Death Lord". He named it "Death Resonance". Other magicians gave this magic a nickname - "Death's Call", and the second

Bo's "finger" is a remaining legendary item of the "Lord of Death", a one-time legendary item, "the right hand of the Lord of the Underworld"!

Franz's stunned and confused expression froze, and his body quickly turned black and gray.

…………

Fernando quietly flew into the air and saw the cathedral in the city shaking violently as if it had been hit by an earthquake. In just a moment, the ground cracked, and a gap rolling with red magma was like a giant mouth of a monster, swallowing up the cathedral.

A legendary magical aura erupted in the church, and a ray of holy light rose into the sky. However, "it" was wrapped in a dark ball and was dragged downwards, flying slower and slower, in just two or three seconds.

Finally, it fell instead of rising, and fell directly into the hot magma.

Then, the cracks in the earth closed, and the surrounding area was safe and sound. There was no trace left, except that the church and the clergy inside disappeared.

"This level of control of earth power..." Fernando felt that this was the best and most exaggerated earth power he had ever controlled. Of course, he had at most seen similar spells from the nine-ring magician. "

And the attack is against the church..."

From this point, he judged whether the other party was a friend rather than an enemy, so he landed slowly, waited for dawn, and then sneaked into the city to inquire about the news.

…………

Holy City of Reims, Great Hall of Light.

The old pope's beard and hair are all white, and his wrinkles seem to be falling down from his face. He is so old that he does not look like a living human being. He wears a sacred crown, holds a platinum scepter, and looks at the cardinal below without any turbid eyes.

And the Holy Knights: "Except for those members who are guarding the fortress and are unable to return, the College of Cardinals has arrived."

His voice was majestic but loving. After a pause, he raised his platinum scepter and said in an extremely sacred and solemn voice: "The Lord sent an oracle to me and appointed the new pope, and I will return to Paradise Mountain tonight and return to the

The arms of the Lord.”

"This is a gift from the Lord, and your contribution to the church is like an endless ocean." All members of the College of Cardinals lowered their heads and said with respect.

The old pope nodded lightly: "Our dedication is what we get. I now announce the Lord's oracle that the new pope is..."

His eyes swept over the faces of several cardinals, satisfied with their calmness and piety, and then his voice was high-pitched, majestic and sacred:

"Griffith!"

"May your way be on earth, just as you are walking in your country." A middle-aged man wearing a simple white robe came out and knelt down on the ground devoutly. His skin was dark and his facial features were ordinary, similar to those of the farmers in the field.

She doesn't have that many wrinkles, but every move she makes is full of heart-wrenching grace.

"Only the truth endures!" Other cardinals also knelt down and made the sign of the cross on their chests.

Then, everyone stood up and watched Griffith walk up the steps to the seventh floor step by step.

As Griffith steps up the steps, ethereal and timeless singing, milky white sacred light, and countless gravel-like angels appear one after another, making Griffith feel like he is walking in the kingdom of the God of Truth.

The majestic holy light enveloped Reims, and all the clergy and believers prostrated themselves in prayer.

The projection of Paradise Mountain appeared in mid-air, and a holy light fell on Griffith, as if adding a halo to him.

Griffith walked up the last step, took the platinum scepter from the old pope solemnly and respectfully, then turned to face the members of the College of Cardinals and raised the scepter high.

At this time, a sacred and majestic voice descended from an infinite height:

"Give you the holy name 'Gregory'!"

The old pope smiled, and his body suddenly became transparent, like the purest Holy Spirit. Then he disintegrated and turned into countless holy light points, flying into the projection of Paradise Mountain in mid-air.

Griffiths made the sign of the cross on his chest and made the same announcement that echoed throughout the city of Reims when all popes took over:

"From today onwards, I am Gregory!"

The members of the College of Cardinals fell to their knees again: "Only the truth remains!"

At the front of this group of cardinals is a man with blond hair and white robes. His appearance is carved from stone, handsome and upright, but his nose is slightly raised, making him look a bit gloomy.

At this time, his expression was so focused and his prayers were so devout, more focused and devout than any member of the College of Cardinals present.

Behind him, some members of the College of Cardinals buried their heads so low that no one could see their expressions.

…………

"What, this place has been taken over by the Church of the Mother Earth?" Fernando envisioned several situations, such as encountering powerful elements, force fields or astrological magicians (all of whom may be good at earth spells), such as someone summoning the devil Duke to come,

For example, the ancient golden dragon made a surprise attack, but he didn't expect that this place had become the territory of the Church of the Mother Earth!

This did not require him to inquire specifically, because after sneaking into the city, many priests of the Church of the Mother Earth were conveying this fact to the believers.

"It was the Mother Goddess of the Earth who killed a cardinal last night? That's right. Only this legendary pinnacle who is best at earth magic can kill a cardinal who is under the protection of the cathedral so easily..." Fernando suddenly realized.

language.

In fact, he, Arnold, and Douglas had speculated that the Apostle Church, which had followed the Church of Truth to resist the Magic Empire since the early days of the Dawn War, would sooner or later turn against them because of the growth and power of the Church of Truth. Previous situations had confirmed this.

In this regard, for example, the "Sun God" died under the divine descending technique, but he did not expect that the Mother Earth God would rebel so suddenly!

"If the Earth Mother had rebelled during the siege of Reims, maybe the outcome would have been different..." Fernando did not hesitate and quickly accepted the fact that the Earth Mother had betrayed the Church of Truth. He just lamented that it was a little late. In his heart,

He thought: "Perhaps it was precisely because of the suppression by the Church of Truth that did not have a pope during this period that the coalition decided to make important concessions to the Mother Goddess of the Earth."

Standing outside the newly erected Church of the Mother Earth, Fernando struggled internally for a while and decided not to risk going in. After all, there were many magicians in the night watch. The priests of the Church of the Earth Mother, who must be sensitive at present, might not be able to trust themselves, so he still had to work day and night.

Rush to Alto and find a familiar partner to introduce you to.

"Antek always told me that his classmate Stannis has amazing talent and is about to become a legendary magician. Hey, I have to see him in person." Fernando quickened his pace and tried to sneak out of the city, thinking about the letters and messages from his past friends.

At this time, he was passing by two priests and suddenly heard one of them say to the other in a low voice: "Griffith took over as pope, the holy name is Gregory."

"A new pope was born?" Fernando was stunned for a moment, "What is Ivan thinking now?"

We must rush to Alto immediately to inquire! (To be continued...)
