"???" The archbishop did not understand what he had just heard.
“！！！” Five seconds later, Vikmar began to realize what had happened in the most sacred place of the Empire, the place protected by battle priests, demon hunters, and ascetics. He had always thought that the cathedral was the safest place in the world. What was going on?
An indescribable grief and anger shrouded Vicmar's heart. The archbishop held the golden scepter of command in one hand and his golden warhammer in the other.
The archbishop was completely enraged.
A Sanctuary powerhouse was an existence that was completely superior to all living beings, especially to humans.
There were three characteristics of a saint. First, longevity.
Every Sanctuary-realm expert could live up to 300 years old, and every Sanctuary-realm expert was a treasure trove of a force.
Secondly, to live a long life.
Apart from having a long lifespan, a saint was also extremely difficult to kill. A saint could be defeated and injured, but it was extremely difficult to kill them.
Just like the duel between Uhles and Egil. If not for the fact that the victor had to be decided, it would have been very difficult for both sides to kill the other.
Third, a unique power.
Every saint had a unique ability. This ability was unpredictable. Many believed that Laing's unique ability to cast spells was his special ability.
And Vicmar's special ability was the power of the twin-tailed comet!
The flames of the twin-tailed comet burned fiercely on the warhammer, the two red trails emitting scorching heat.
Laing had long since disappeared into the crowd. He grabbed Tegris' arm and said, "Quick! Now! "
"Let's go!" Tegris replied in a low voice, and the two rushed towards the Sacred Bone Hall.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!" Ten seconds later, the archbishop's angry roar almost penetrated the golden dome, "Heresy!!!"
"Chaos bastards have infiltrated the most sacred place of the Empire! Fight! My believers! For Charlemagne! For the Empire! " Archbishop Vicmar, who had the strength of a saint, burst forth with terrifying energy. He raised his warhammer high in the air, and with the archbishop's roar, a golden wave overturned all the pilgrims in the cathedral.
The sudden turn of events stunned all the pilgrims.
There was actually a heretic in the heart of the Empire and the headquarters of the Church of Justice!
"No one admits it?" Archbishop Vickma's wrath had already pierced through the sky, forming a terrifying divine vortex. Powerful divine spells spun in the temple, and golden waves of air blew away the winter's coldness. In the hallway of the temple, a large group of battle priests and paladins were rushing into the temple.
"Everyone! Kneel down! "The archbishop roared at all the pilgrims in the cathedral," Kneel down immediately and accept the inspection! We must ensure that every heretic is tested on the stake! "
The sound of weapons being unsheathed could be heard. The paladins drew their swords and raised their shields, the battle priests picked up their hammers, and the ascetics gripped the handles of their flails. All the tourists and pilgrims in the cathedral were forced to kneel down and wait for the inspection.
Laing and Tegris were not inspected. They did not need to prove whether they were believers of Chaos or not. The paladins and battle priests gestured for them to quickly leave the cathedral. Laing and Tegris took the opportunity to sneak out of the cathedral and hide behind a tapestry in the corner of the corridor.
The space behind the tapestry was very small, and Laing and Tegris squeezed together. The tall mage said in a low voice, "There are at least a hundred guards in the Sacred Bone Hall!"
Laing nodded, "Is your magic useful?"
"In this case, I can only cast confusion magic on thirty people at the same time!" Tegris said in a low voice.
"Then wait a little longer!"
At this time, among the countless pilgrims, there were three who were wearing thick cloaks and hoods. Their expressions changed greatly.
The pilgrim named Maxwell had a look of disbelief in his eyes. He first looked at his companions with trembling eyes, then lowered his head in panic.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
How did the archbishop discover us?!
They had been planning this assassination for more than ten years. Every year, they carefully infiltrated the cathedral of the Church of Justice, drawing and planning an assassination route.
After spending more than ten years, they successfully hid themselves and thought of every guard and trap. They had already disguised themselves as the most devout believers of the God of Justice. Every year, they were one step closer to the statue of the God of Justice and the golden statue of Emperor Charlemagne. Now, the plan was about to come to fruition, but how were they discovered?!
Maxwell and his two companions were believers of the Tzeentch Sect who were secretly operating in the capital of the Empire, Brunswick. The capital of the Empire was densely populated, and in many dirty corners, there were shadows of small sects of Chaos secretly operating. They carefully avoided the pursuit of demon hunters and battle priests, and took root in the slums of Brunswick.
They planned to assassinate Emperor Karl-franz on the day of the Winter Veil service! This young and promising emperor was regarded as a huge threat by the believers of Chaos. Especially in recent years, they had received the support of many nobles.
In human history, there had never been a lack of people who thought that assassinating the emperor would benefit them. Emperor Karl-franz forcefully suppressed the interests of many nobles, and his actions to protect the peasants and the middle class had angered many nobles. Many nobles did not care about the threat that humans faced. They only knew and saw that their interests were being infringed.
When someone suggested assassinating the emperor, some nobles chose to secretly support it.
However, Maxwell still could not believe that such a meticulous plan, which had been prepared for more than ten years, would be exposed here! How did the archbishop discover us?!
But in this situation, they did not dare to move. They could only pray in their hearts.
Lord of All Change, please bless us to complete the mission.
The cultists did not dare to make a sound. They lowered their heads deeply. In this situation, they could do nothing but wait.
"No one admits it?! Cultist, Emperor Charlemagne is looking at you! The God of Justice is looking at you. Since you are not willing to stand up, then … "The archbishop looked around and found that no one was willing to stand up. He released a terrifying roar. Then, Wickmar held the scepter of command in one hand and the golden griffin warhammer in the other. The power of the twin-tailed comet surged.
The supreme divine spell! Soul Fire!
The blazing power of the twin-tailed comet slanted down from the golden dome of the cathedral, sprinkling down countless holy light. Visible golden air masses floated among the crowd.
The pilgrims were crying tears of joy. They shouted that it was a miracle. Bathed in the golden light, those who had devout believers would not be burned by the soul flames. On the contrary, this was a sacred ceremony to purify the soul.
The archbishop's ferocious and violent gaze swept across everyone in the cathedral, the terrifying power of the Soul Flames interrogating everyone's souls.
"Heretics will have nowhere to hide under the divine power of our Lord! Accept your judgment! Ahhh! "The archbishop raised his arms and shouted.
In the middle of the holy light, a person in a thick cloak could not hold it in anymore. He let out a scream. Then, the two people following him also let out screams.
"Ugh!"
The strange behavior of these three people immediately attracted everyone's attention. The paladins and battle priests quickly approached. They could only see the three people wailing non-stop. In the soul fire, they had nowhere to hide.
"The heretics have shown themselves! Take off their cloaks and purify them completely! "The archbishop's eyes were like lightning. He pointed directly at Maxwell and the other two.
The cultists still wanted to resist, but wave after wave of soul fire almost tore their filthy souls into pieces.
The thick cloaks were torn apart by the paladins, revealing the mutated bodies under the cloaks.
The arms, calves, and chests of the three cultists had started to grow feathers and transform into the claws of crows!
"Damn it!" One of Maxwell's arms showed its original form under the burning of the soul fire. It was a mutated arm with feathers, and the fingers had turned into claws.
"Ah! It's the cultists of Chaos! "
"That's the mutation of Tzeentch!"
"Kill them! Kill them! "
"Help!"
The cathedral was in chaos. The paladins and battle priests had fierce expressions. Their faces were filled with terrifying fanaticism. Some of the paladins protected the unrelated people and retreated. Many demon hunters and ascetics had already charged forward with weapons in their hands.
"Kill them! Leave one alive! "The archbishop pointed at the three people who had shown their original forms." For Emperor Charlemagne! "
"Fight!" Maxwell knew that his plan had been exposed. He took out a wooden staff from his back and was about to use chaos black magic to summon the demons of Tzeentch.
Someone was much faster than him.
"Hammer! Of! War!" The golden griffin warhammer that was spewing out the power of the twin-tailed comet smashed down on the head of the Tzeentch cultist with the fury of the archbishop. The blessings and mutations brought about by Chaos could not escape Vickmar's power.
"Bam!" The head was smashed into pieces, and brain matter splattered everywhere.
…
"There are cultists in the cathedral!"
"Quick, help the archbishop!"
"My Lord, we've failed you."
The corridor was filled with the sound of running. Obviously, more guards were attracted by the strange movement in the cathedral.
Behind the tapestry, Laing and Tegris were a little confused.
"… It seems that there are cultists mixed in with the pilgrims," Laing muttered to himself. "God, I was just kidding."
"You just wanted to create some chaos, but you didn't expect it to really happen." Tegris's face was calm. "Humans are too easily corrupted … I can sense that there's a battle going on in the cathedral. A cultist summoned a few low-level demons, but they won't be able to fight so many people."
"Quick! The number of guards has decreased! " Laing and Tegris ran all the way. The tall mage, who was not strong enough, was panting. "Don't be so anxious, I … I can't go on, Laing."
Sacred Bones Hall was a little far from the cathedral, and there were many stairs up and down. It would take at least five minutes to avoid the crowd.
Tegris swore that he had never run such a long distance in more than a hundred years. The tall mage's body was not very strong. After running for about three minutes, he was out of breath.
"It's okay, I'll carry you!" Laing carried Tegris.
Charge!
At this time, there were less than 50 clerics guarding the Sacred Bones Hall, and there were only 20 or so guarding the side door. They saw Laing rushing with Tegris on his back. Before they could ask, Laing shouted, "Not good, gentlemen, look here."
While all the guards were distracted, Tegris raised his staff. "Confusion Spell!"
Lilith's Moon Staff flashed, and all the guards became dull and confused. They nodded, and then returned to their posts in a daze. They lowered their heads and said to themselves, "Ah, so that's it. No one has been here, no one has been here."
Just like that, Ryan successfully rushed into Sacred Bones Hall with Tegris on his back.
Five minutes later.
Laing and Tegris strolled in the Sacred Bones Hall, looking for the entrance to the basement.
In the Sacred Bones Hall, the remains of the emperors of the Empire (who could be found) and countless human heroes were buried. Sacred hymns and brilliant candles were endless in the Sacred Bones Hall. When Laing looked at the records of the emperors and heroes and their remains, his heart was filled with infinite respect. "Without their persistence, there would be no human beings. It is said that the second emperor after Charlemagne, Emperor Hedrick's remains and shroud are placed here."
Tegris's palm condensed magic. The Great Mage was releasing magic to let Laing and himself avoid the gods' perception. He said to Laing, "We didn't enter the Sacred Bones Hall to sightsee. Lilith is the Chosen One champion. The storm outside will soon subside. We are here. Have you thought about how we are going to get out?"
"There will always be a way." Laing forced himself to look away from the glorious human deeds. The Count shrugged at the Great Mage. "Since we can come in, we can definitely get out."
"… You'd better think of another way." Tegris was still expressionless. "Well, let's find what Lilith needs first."
"I have no clue at all." Laing looked up at the interior of the Sacred Bones Hall. In addition to the sacred remains, there were all kinds of souvenirs, a desk, and two rows of large bookcases behind the desk.
"Got it." Tegris pulled out a book from the bookcase, then reached out and pressed a movable wall brick.
Ding, ding, ding … Just under the huge statue in the middle of the Sacred Bones Hall, a deep underground passage appeared.
"How did you find it?"
"Human tricks are just a joke in front of Assur."
"Well, come, let's go down."
