Chapter 174 Pity, The Girl of Sin, Punishment and Redemption

In the past, what color was the past, and what changed the past, why did the faith collapse, and when did I no longer believe in everything I had always recognized... Looking at the girl in front of me holding a huge silver cross, with soft black hair, wearing purple combat nun suit, and very beautiful, Terry William couldn't help but have the above questions that had been lingering. Although he was not a person who liked to indulge in the past, some things were not easily forgotten... "Hehe... I didn't expect that the church would actually send the war of one of the four Apocalypse Knights of the Inquisition to Tarengard, and he came...hehe..."

Shark shark looked at the more than ten corpses at the entrance of the Hero Temple, and couldn't help but open the big mouth full of sharp teeth and smiled ferociously, because as soon as the four of them landed, they found that a cruel battle had broken out here. Both sides of the battle were actually the guards sent by the Church of Light and the Griffon Principality to the Hero Temple. The members of the Muslim who knew what was hidden in the Hero Temple immediately guessed the purpose of the church... "Is that... it seems that your target is also that thing? Trill William, who is known as the "Black Counter Cross"..."

Standing in front of the church team, a knight wearing blood-red armor, holding a giant sword carved with countless skeletons, and wearing a half-cut red cape, said his words in an extremely low and hoarse voice, immediately turned his head to Manchester with a black inverted cross on his face. At the same time, a blood-red sharp light flashed across the dark face of the helmet... "Never... allow... you evil men... rob... of our principality... of the griffin heart!"

A young knight wearing red and white armor with a griffin pattern on his chest supported his body with his long sword, covered his chest with blood, and slowly stood up from the ground. Now he can be said to be the only surviving person in the entire guard team of the Griffin Principality. In fact, according to their strength, he should not have been defeated so easily.

But since I never thought that the church would come to snatch the heart of the griffon, when the four fourth-level masters and the Apocalypse Knights came here, they just felt strange and had no defense at all. The situation afterwards was easily imagined... With intentional calculations and unintentionality, the Griffon Principality instantly lost three fourth-level masters. Coupled with the suppression of this fifth-level master of war, they could survive until now, and proved that strength... "I am not dead yet... I am worthy of being the first genius in the 50 years of the Principality, the nephew of the Grand Duke of the Griffon Principality..."

"Bah! A bunch of hypocritical bastards! Even despicable and insidious guys like you can call themselves messengers of light! If we had known that the church was all such a thing, we might as well expel you like the Duchy of the Falcon!"

Hearing the knight's angry curse, especially after the last sentence, his eyes suddenly turned red and then he suddenly disappeared from the spot... "The one who blasphemed the light... die!"

Puff!

An unwilling head soared into the sky, and a warm blood splattered out, and the disappearing Apocalypse Knight "War" returned to his original place in less than two seconds, but his sword had already brought a bright red mark... Papa!

"Okay...yes, not bad, not bad, I actually always want to join the courthouse of your church. Not only does it have no scruples to kill people like that, but there are still a lot of reasons. It's really...tsk tsk..."

Shark's sarcastic voice soon reached the ears of "war". He turned his head and looked coldly at the guy wearing a silver sand cloak and carrying a heavy sword wrapped in bandages. Although he looked half fish and half human, he did not take action easily, because when Shark Shark appeared, he had already realized that this Naga was not simple and his strength was definitely not inferior to him... "Who are you! Why do you want to contain the wanted criminals of the church? Are you trying to be enemies with the church..."

As soon as a discerning person sees the unified silver sand cloak on these four people, he will immediately know that they must be members of the same organization. After hearing the words of the war, Shasha shrugged helplessly, pointed to Manchester, who was silent, and said to the war in a teasing way:

"Our organization is not a shelter, everyone comes voluntarily, so you can only ask him about this..."

"Yeah……"

Although he knew that Shark Mars was definitely not an opponent that he could easily defeat, he was always teased by Shark Mars again and again, and the anger in the heart of "war" could no longer be suppressed. After he raised his right hand and made an attacking gesture to the people behind him, he slowly raised his giant sword and pointed to Shark Mars in front of him. Although Shark Mars also removed the heavy sword behind him, he did not make any attacking moves. He just supported the sword with his hands and looked at the Apocalypse Knight opposite with a grim smile... "Elizabeth..."

Seeing the girl holding a huge silver cross slowly walking towards him, Terry William called out a few times like a dream, but the girl seemed to have not heard it. When she was still ten meters away from Manchester, she stopped her steps, pointed the cross at him, and said coldly:

"Here, be judged."

"Heaven...yes...I've become a heretic..."

Looking at the girl in front of him with no emotion, Terry William shook his head gently, touched the black cross mark on his face, and then slowly raised his head. Looking at the dark curtain that had begun to fade away and the sky that shone with rays of sunshine, he couldn't help but recall that night, that night that he would never forget for life... On that day, he was preparing to preach in a small town that was said to have doubts about the belief in the Dragon of Light to eliminate the confusion and doubts in people's hearts. After walking for a day, he finally came to the town late at night, but what caught his eyes were the sky-sky firelight and countless corpses, men, women, elderly people, children... and even livestock.

The kind-hearted he immediately went crazy looking for the murderer in the town, but when he came to the square in the center of the town, he saw a group of people wearing church knight armor and priest robe. The people were covered in blood, among them one of his favorite people, a nun who had been accompanying him since the religious academy, Elizabeth... At that time, Elizabeth's eyes were so confused and frightened. She was like a lost lamb, and there was an older nun beside her who had been politely persuading her, but unfortunately, the blood-stained sword in the nun's hand destroyed everything... Angry, he immediately questioned the people belonging to the Inquisition loudly, and he even planned to go back and tell him what he had today.

The tutor asked him to expel all these people from the church, but the leader's knight looked at him contemptuously and told him that it was his tutor, the archbishop of this area, who ordered them to destroy the heretics, and threw the token of the tutor to his feet... Looking at the familiar badge under his feet, Terry William was confused, collapsed, and frantically... He used all the abilities he had learned from the church to kill all the people present, but he did not attack Elizabeth. At that time, he even wanted Elizabeth to leave the church with him and live in seclusion in a place beyond the jurisdiction of the church, but Elizabeth refused him in horror and shouted that he was a demon... "Since that's the case... Elizabeth, let me see how your strength has improved in the past few years..."

Terry William suddenly lowered his head and looked at the familiar face in front of him tightly. His right hand tightly clenched into a fist, and then a huge red and black cross quickly condensed in his hand. The red and black energy also wrapped his whole body. After a burst of noise, a priest robe similar to a windbreaker and shaking like a flame, and there was a trace of electric arc on the robe... "God punishment·hammer!"

The girl jumped up suddenly, and then the silver cross in her right hand hit Terry William on the ground. Terry William just waved to the right gently and avoided the cross with the holy light. The cross that lost its target could only smash a deep pit on the ground... "Reverse rotation..."

After avoiding Elizabeth's attack, Terry William immediately threw the black cross in his hand at the girl, and the girl immediately lifted the silver cross in front of him... Bang!

After a loud bang, the girl was defeated several meters by the black cross, and the black cross also dissipated into the air. However, another black cross condensed in Terry William's hand, and quickly rushed to the front of the girl, then waved it hard...bang!bang!

Two crosses, one black and one white, kept colliding in the air, and obviously, Terry William's power was stronger. Every time his black cross swung, he would bring several wind blades, thunder and walls of fire in the air... And under such an attack, the girl had only defense except defense... "Soul Dedication Angel..."

After waving the cross in his hand suddenly, the girl jumped back quickly, then inserted the silver cross to the ground with force, folded her hands together, and began to chant the sacred spell in a low voice... "Elizabeth! You..."

After seeing the girl's actions, Terry William was shocked. As the name suggests, the soul dedication skill is to dedicate his soul to the gods, and then exchange for some powerful magic... Naturally, the devotee will lose his soul and turn into dust in the world, not even rebirth... "Accept the punishment..."

Soon, the girl raised her head suddenly, and a pair of white wings suddenly spread out from behind her. Then she took the opportunity to lift the silver cross in front of her and rushed towards Manchester.

"I'm sorry...Elizabeth..."

Terry William slowly raised the red and black cross in his hand, then kicked his right foot and quickly faced the girl who turned into an angel. The cross in his hand also began to wrap around a white light and a brown light... Crack!

What shocked everyone happened. Just as the two crosses collided, the silver cross in Elizabeth's hand turned into countless pieces of silver glowing. At the same time, one end of Terry William's red and black cross also penetrated deeply into the girl's chest... "Elizabeth..."

After seeing the relieved smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, Terry William suddenly woke up. He quickly dispelled the cross in his hand, and then hugged the girl who was lying to the ground in his arms... "Why... the power of the angel should not be so fragile..."

Looking at the girl with a smile in her arms and blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, Terry William was completely confused. The only thing he knew was that the familiar Elizabeth seemed to be back.

"Ahem...Brother Bread... It's true that it's the most reassuring thing in your arms..."

When Manchester heard this familiar title again, he couldn't help but recall the days he spent in the religious academy. At that time, he liked bread the most, and at that time, Elizabeth learned to make bread... "Do you remember that night... the reason why I didn't leave you is not that I hate you... but... at that time, my hands were covered with blood... I no longer deserve to stand with you..."

When Manchester heard the girl's words, he did not respond at all. He just hugged the girl tightly to his chest, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body... "I have committed an unforgivable sin... Brother Bread... Do you know what my biggest wish will be in the future..."

The girl slowly raised her hand, gently stroked the deep black cross mark on Manchester's face, and murmured affectionately:

"That is to be able to receive the God's punishment you have brought down... to die in your hands... in your arms... let your righteous power judge my sins... Now... I can finally fulfill my wish..."

Terry William bit his teeth tightly, holding the girl's hands harder and even his body began to tremble gently, while the girl just smiled with satisfaction, then buried her face in front of his chest, quietly listening to the completely unroutine heartbeat... "Brother Bread... Do you remember? This thing was given to me when you were in the seminary... I have always protected it with great care... I have never let it get stained with blood... It is also the only clean thing on my body..."

The girl whose meaning gradually blurred suddenly thought of something, barely awakened herself, and then slowly took out a silver pendant hanging on the cross from her chest. Unfortunately, it was already stained with bright red blood, which was the girl's own blood. However, at this time, the girl's eyes had completely lost the light and focal length, so she didn't know all this... "Brother Bread... I have always believed that you are always right... In my heart... you are the messenger of light... the angel that is always white... so... Elizabeth is not qualified to accompany you again... But... I still hope... you can always carry this pendant... that maybe you can occasionally think of... a girl who has been secretly watching you in the corner... a girl who once made bread for you..."

After putting the pendant in Terry William's hand, the girl who had been carrying the cross on the trial slowly closed her eyes and quickly turned into countless pieces, slowly dissipating in the sad wind. After Terry William, who was gritting his teeth hard, lowered his head and knelt on the ground, holding the blood-stained pendant with his right hand tightly. Even if the pendant pierced into the flesh, there was no reaction... "Elizabeth..."
