Chapter 321

Olian was in a daze, following several Judgement Knights of the Knights Templar to run in the castle.

When they reached a room, they finally stopped.

Olian twirled her fingers around a strand of pale blonde hair hanging out of her hat. Her big blue eyes were full of doubts. "Robert, why did we run away? Isn't it our duty to punish the demons? "

"Goddess above." The brown-haired knight knelt on one knee, revealing the silver leg armor under his monk robe. "Your Highness, I'm doing this to protect you."

Olian was puzzled. "Protect me? But I applied for the task of exterminating the demons myself. "

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Robert bowed his head. "There are a lot of things I've hidden from Your Highness.

"I've sworn allegiance to Your Highness, but there are some things … I didn't know until I came here."

He looked at the shoes under Sister Olian's clothes and whispered, "My uncle is one of the nine cardinals of the church. He warned me that this task was assigned by His Holiness the Pope.

"The Pope hopes that you can sacrifice yourself here, at least in a short time."

Olian opened her mouth. "Why …"

"It's politics." Robert bowed his head even lower. "Because it's time for the change of the Pope. You're a very important propaganda force to the voters, but you don't seem to agree with the Pope's ideas, so he intends to change another Saintess.

"I'm your knight, and I only follow your advice. So my uncle told me all this. He doesn't want me to die with you."

The Pure Church they were in had nine cardinals, one of which was a cardinal.

These nine cardinals were all lifelong.

But the Pope was not.

The Pure Church was one of the five orthodox churches, and it was the orthodox church with the largest sphere of influence at present. It had 50 parishes under its jurisdiction.

The Pope was elected every four years, and he could serve at most two terms.

The specific rule was that when it came to the election of the Pope, each parish would choose several priests, and finally, these hundreds of priests would choose the final Pope.

The Pure Church was divided into three factions. One was the monastic faction, the other was the angel faction, and the third was the neutral faction, which was further divided into many small factions.

At present, the Pope belonged to the angel faction, and he advocated using war to destroy all other religions so that the glory of the Goddess could spread all over the world.

Many people opposed him, including those in the Cloister Faction.

Therefore, he needed the Saintess to "disappear" and then choose a new Saintess to do the publicity.

After all, who wouldn't like a pure, kind, gentle, and innocent saintess without any ulterior motives?

Olian was silent for a long time before she said, "But I still believe in the guidance of the Goddess. It is the Goddess who wants to purify the demons here. I think we should not run away. The demons are the eternal nightmare of humans."

"Perhaps that's the case. I'm not trying to escape, but …" Robert smiled bitterly. "I can feel that the demon … is too strong …"

Olian widened her blue eyes that were as calm as a lake. "But so many of us can't purify him? Seeing him torturing other people's souls, I … I can't just sit back and watch. "

"Your Highness Saintess, you're mistaken." Robert smiled bitterly. "The one being stepped on and beaten is the devil we're looking for."

Olian: "Huh?"

Her surprised look was especially cute.

But no one cared. The other knights were also shocked by Robert's words.

"Robert, what do you mean by that!"

They were not the Saintess' exclusive knights.

There were four people in total. Two were knights of the Inquisition of Heresy, and the other two were knights of the Knights Templar.

They had been silent just now.

Because if what Robert said was true, then the four of them were basically abandoned.

"Your Inquisition of Heresy also doesn't know?" Robert asked rhetorically, and then suddenly understood. "Indeed, your Inquisition of Heresy is responsible for internal affairs, and the cultivators of the Combat Information Institution are responsible for external affairs."

After a pause, he explained, "I also learned from my uncle that this demon is the Son of God of the Ordinary God … I mean the one lying on the ground being beaten. He's our target. He's also a Grade 1 Demon. "

As soon as he said this, the faces of the knights except the Saintess became very ugly.

A first-grade demon … was basically equivalent to the strongest level under the Gods.

They were all fourth-grade Fire Feather Knights, Robert was a third-grade Frostwing Knight, and Her Highness Saintess was a third-grade Supplicant.

Asking them to come here was indeed sending them to their deaths.

According to the information they had received, this time they were supposed to purify a third-grade demon …

But the bigger question was, why was a first-grade demon pressed on the ground and beaten up?

Even if it had just been unsealed and had not recovered to its full form, its strength was at least at the peak of third-grade, or even second-grade.

But from the looks of it, it seemed to be unable to fight back!

"Those few … people, who are they? Could it be that that is the Chosen One of the Gods? "

"This is not a normal world, how could he be the Chosen One?" Robert sighed. "You saw it on the way here, right? We just teleported here, and there are deformed monsters everywhere.

"Also, the rectangular buildings are covered in disgusting flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood are alive."

Robert sighed bitterly and said the answer that they did not want to know. "This … is Hell …"

"If that Abomination of God is a top-grade demon, then even in Hell, the one on its body should stand at the peak of Hell, right?"

This answer was too unfriendly to them.

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

After a while, someone suddenly said, "No wonder my strength is so weakened here, and I can't feel the Goddess's divine power …"

No one answered.

But the morale of the soldiers was dropping.

Boom –!

Suddenly, the sound of thunder broke the silence.

It seemed to be raining outside.

The raindrops hit the arched, colorful glass high up, making spluttering sounds.

Olian crossed her hands and prayed, then said calmly, "This is just a test from the Goddess. We will definitely succeed in sealing that demon."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the room suddenly burst open!

From outside, a monster more than five meters tall walked in.

This monster was covered with deformed pustules, and there were more than a dozen human arms waving on its body.

It had no head, and what should have been its abdomen was connected by a spine with minced meat and blood.

The upper body was above, and the lower body was below.

It was also carrying a huge hatchet in its hand.

Olian's body bloomed with a soft glow. "Knights, it's time to fight."

…

"It's raining?"

In the corridor in the middle of the castle, Wang Quan stretched his hand out of the corridor ceiling.

With a sizzling sound, the skin on his hand was slowly corroded.

Withdrawing his hand, Wang Quan looked at the skin that was recovering, frowned, and said, "The corrosive blood rain, is this the change you mentioned?"

Ji Xingyu sighed. "This is just the prelude. The 'Midnight Echo' that I replaced is coming again."

"This is the world that you were supposed to experience."
