The bishop stared deeply at the sky behind the Killing City. There was silence there, and the red mist obscured his sight. He stood here, waiting for the signal from the Templar Knights.
The light that was supposed to dispel the fog did not appear. Such a result was unacceptable to the bishop. Did the church pay a lot of money in exchange for such a result?
Perhaps he underestimated the endless abyss and overestimated the strength of the Templar Knights. If so, then everything is irreversible.
Golden particles gradually overflowed from the bishop's body. Sealing the law-level demon was not without price. The holy seal was the secret method of the church. Since it was a secret method, it naturally had extremely powerful power and a price that ordinary people could not pay.
Before the law-level demon approached the seal, he revealed the outcome of the bishop. Using the holy seal would result in the soul being assimilated by the holy light. This is more cruel than the assimilation of the body. However, the bishop still made the choice without hesitation. The reason
, it’s just his faith in Him.
But can this faith really be rewarded?
No one knew, not even the bishop himself had the answer, he simply made a choice.
Now, the time has come to pay the price.
His body began to slowly turn into light and shadow. This assimilation from the soul is irreversible. He will dissipate into the dark abyss along with the holy light. At this time of his death, the bishop's only wish is to see
It's just a light shining in the distant sky.
"Alas -" a long sigh, with endless emotions.
Buzz——
Perhaps God's eyes saw this devout believer, or perhaps luck favored him at this moment. At the last moment when he was about to disappear, he saw the light rising from behind the Slaughter City, dispersing the dark abyss.
The darkness inside.
"Finally..." A happy smile appeared on the bishop's face. Along with the light, the bishop's body was completely assimilated by the holy light, turning into a beam of holy light and rising into the sky.
...
A peaceful place far away from all disturbances. Although it is still a cruel abyss, here, with the protection of a holy army, Maria will not be intruded by any abyssal alien species.
Maria, who was originally playful, suddenly became quiet at this moment, her eyes suddenly became dull, and she stared blankly in the direction of the Killing City.
When the accompanying knight saw this, he couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What's wrong, Maria?"
However, Maria, who was cute and lively in the past, did not answer him this time.
Just when the knight was about to continue asking questions, he saw the holy light streaking across the sky in the distance. As a devout believer in the church and a loyal knight, he would not fail to recognize that light.
This is the bishop's signal that the fallen angels have been hunted.
The knight's expression tensed up, and his gentle expression when facing Maria immediately disappeared. He summoned his companions and came to Maria's side.
At this time, Maria was in a very strange state. She was just staring blankly at the sky in the distance, motionless, like a sculpture.
This was the first time that the knights of the church encountered a situation like this. They had no choice but to be vigilant and stay by Maria's side.
Time moves backwards little by little.
"Where's the bishop?"
"It's unclear. After the news of the fallen angel's death was reported, the bishop had no other instructions."
After hearing this answer, the commander leading this holy army had to make plans for the worst.
The bishop was probably killed in action.
In this case, a heavy mission and responsibility fell on his head. Perhaps now, they are the only surviving Crusaders in this abyss with a depth of two hundred.
Since the fallen angels have been hunted, it is expected that Maria will react. The death of the fallen angels and the birth of the angels are a kind of transformation.
If the Holy Hell Bishop's research is correct, after the death of the accompanying fallen angel, there will be nothing to prevent Mary from turning into a real angel.
But now, the fallen angel has been hunted, but Maria's condition is a little strange.
Maybe it takes some time.
The Templar Knight could only comfort himself in this way.
Regardless of the final outcome, Maria's journey into the abyss must have come to an end.
Just as the Templar made his decision, the piercing screams engulfed the surroundings. The piercing screams coming from the girl's mouth made people's scalp numb.
It's like the most vicious curse.
"Ahhhhh!"
The expression on the Templar Knight's face suddenly darkened.
In Mary's body, there seemed to be two forces conflicting with each other, the holy light representing God, and the dark abyss.
"Leave the abyss. This is not the environment where angels are born. We cannot let this last stick break in our hands!"
The floating base is controlled by the Association, and the church has no intention of letting the results of this experiment be known to the Association, so it is impossible to return to the present world using conventional methods.
If you want to return to the present world, you can only use the abyss dive point.
Fortunately, the church had a plan in advance. Why did this Crusaders stay away from the battlefield in the Killing City? Is it just to protect Maria?
Of course not. How could the church only consider this point? Since diving into the abyss, the holy army that protects Maria has been moving in the direction of the diving point of the abyss, and now, they are already standing at the bottom of the abyss.
Next to the dive site.
The black vortex absorbs the surrounding matter like a black hole. It is like a huge mouth in the abyss, and anyone who comes into contact with it will be swallowed into it.
At this moment, the Templar Knight has brought Maria to the side of the abyss dive point. He needs to reverse the dive point and let himself be spit out of the abyss.
This requires a huge amount of magic power, and the Templar Knights are already prepared.
The bottle containing the magic element was thrown into it, and the dark light of the abyss dive point also changed accordingly.
The principles are extremely complex, and even scholars in the fluorite field have not thoroughly studied it.
Picking up Maria's weak body, the Templar took a deep breath and got inside.
The huge shock wave turned into reality and caused ripples in the abyss.
At the last moment of leaving the abyss, the Templar seemed to see a figure, a cold figure standing beside the dive point of the abyss.
Esther watched everything silently, and the container named Maria was sent back to the present world. What she brought back from this abyss was only despair.
In the Eternal City, the Pope looked sad. He was never the kind of person who would show his expression, but at this moment, he could not control his emotions.
The Templar Knights are back, but all they have back is a corpse.
