Man is in the moon, the dead apostle starts

"Monsieur Bishop?"

Lai Yexun looked at the blond young man in front of him with an expression of disbelief.

"Why are you here? There are also Dead Apostles...haven't they been completely wiped out?"

"How could it be... Isn't there the biggest fish that slipped through the net?"

A ferocious smile appeared on the bishop's face. He moved his wrist, and the black hilt slipped into his hand, and woven into a bright silver blade with the infusion of magic power.

"If it weren't for worrying about affecting that adult's plan, I would have punished you as early as in the church."

"what……?"

Lai Yexun's brain was in chaos, and the bishop's eyes shone with a light of familiarity. It was an existence called "Killing Intent".At this moment, he could hardly think about why things became like this.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that I am not the main character. To be precise, I am the Cardinal, who is responsible for the smooth progress of this Holy Grail War. Of course, you will not understand this."

Bishop, no, it should be said that the Cardinal is stepping forward. Although he is not as good as the agent who is in charge of fighting, but compared with the high school student in front of him, he is still far beyond.

The bright silver sword light was like a poisonous snake preying on it, stabbing its fangs towards its prey. Lai Ye Xun could only feel his heart beating violently, like the engine of some kind of restless large machine.The surroundings became quiet, the world slowed down strangely in his eyes, and the trajectory that could not be avoided could be caught with the naked eye.

He rolled on the ground again. Although his posture was awkward, the effect was surprisingly good.

"what?"

The cardinal made a question, until he noticed the bloody circle that appeared in Lai Yexun's pupils, which was a manifestation of the power of the dead disciples being agitated.

"I see."

He stroked his white gloves embroidered with golden crosses, and slid the pieces of paper that had been set in advance. The gray armor covered his limbs and vitals. Although these armors were only composed of pieces of paper, they were comparable to alloys under the blessing of the spell. .

A small hand crossbow appeared in his right hand. The arrowhead made of fine steel reflected a bright purple in the moonlight, and it was tempered with venom specially aimed at the Dead Apostles, which could weaken it.

In his left hand, he held a western-style one-handed long sword with the spells of [Breaking Demon] and [Withering] arranged on it, and launched an attack on Lai Ye Tatsumi from a distance and a near one.

Laiye Tatsumi broke off the safety device of the pistol with trembling hands, and then continued to roll on the ground to avoid the incoming arrows, but when he raised the pistol to aim at the cardinal, his arm shook violently so that he couldn't lock it at all. .

"do not come!"

He suddenly thought of what Elsa had repeatedly told him, that if he was in danger, he must use the Command Seal without hesitation.

"Don't make me use this, if I use this, my friend, my friend will kill you!"

Laiye Tatsumi licked his lips, his mouth was dry, and his voice was abnormally hoarse, as if there were two sheets of sandpaper rubbing in his throat, the trembling of his arms was still unstoppable, and even his thighs trembled slightly.

"Ha ha."

Seeing his trembling appearance, the Cardinal let out a disdainful laugh, and mercilessly pulled the trigger of the hand crossbow.

boom--

Lai Yexun also fired, and the strong recoil force almost made the pistol fall out of his hand, and naturally the bullet flew to nowhere.

The poisoned arrow hit his right leg, and it spread to the whole leg in less than a second. The deteriorating black blood exuded a rancid smell, and it looked like black spider webs tattooed on his body from a distance. .

The strength drained from the body quickly, and soon there was no strength left to hold the handle of the gun, but at this time Lai Ye Tatsumi's consciousness was exceptionally clear.

His face was caught, his hands and feet were nailed to the ground with black keys, his body was pulled into a cross shape, and a ferocious smile came into his eyes. Laiye Tatsumi never imagined that such a friendly bishop would show such a smile.

"Declaring—

As I kill, I also create.I both hurt and help the world.No one has to escape from my hand, and no one does not accept my eyes. "

The Cardinal chanted the baptismal incantation, which is the only miracle that the Holy Church is allowed to practice. It is a simple ceremony that sublimates lost souls and sends them to the [Seat] of Return.

The soft white field unfolded, and the dust in the air reflected the light. The burning pain like a flame made him cry out in pain. This kind of flame seemed to appear in the soul, and Ye Xun vaguely seemed to see another vague As for himself, dots of bloody spots covered his hazy body surface.

"Return to the dust.

The defeated and the old are called to me.Commit to me, learn from me, and be loyal to me.

Give you a rest.Don't forget to sing, don't forget to pray, don't forget my name, my lightness, liberate you from the pain of all things. "

Those places covered with bloody spots were extremely painful. If this was his own soul, Lai Yexun thought that he might be burned to death.

Corresponding to this, his body also emerged dots of white light, rising towards the night sky.

"Take off the pretense.

For forgiveness, revenge, for trust, for betrayal, for hope, for despair, for light, for darkness, and for the things of life, to die in obscurity.

Rest is what I bring.Burn your sins and engrave them in your brand.

Eternal life can only be bestowed by death. "

The cardinal's voice became louder and louder, and the domain spread out into the distance, and the light became more and more dazzling.In this light, Laiye Tatsumi's body was shattered like a burning white paper, leaving only the head held by the cardinal.

"—Forgive me here, I swear by the flesh.

—May the Lord have mercy on this sad soul (kyrie eleison). "

The light reached its peak, and the surging magic power turned into a whirling hurricane, engulfing the light and rushing straight into the sky, the dark clouds were torn apart, and the light of the stars sprinkled on the city.

The field gradually narrowed, and finally disappeared. The cardinal made sure that Tatsumi's life reaction had completely disappeared, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and then saw the pistol left by Tatsumi on the ground.

"As a Dead Apostle, you're really tender, not even as good as those brainless ghouls."

A contemptuous smile appeared on his face, and he bent down to pick it up, but soon his smile froze on his face.

"cough……"

The sharp claws pierced through his chest, and in the claws covered with scales, the bright red organs were beating, squeezing out the last blood.

The cardinal's pupils couldn't help dilating, and gradually became slack. He couldn't imagine that someone would break through the protection of the special defensive type [gray lock].

He tried his best to turn his head away, trying to see the face of the attacker, but all he could see was the ugly face covered with bony protrusions and scales, and the resemblance could only be seen in the subtleties, the blood-soaked eyes were full of blood. Violence and madness, without the slightest sense of reason.

"It turns out that the chants of baptism can't completely get rid of you."

Before he finished speaking, the sharp teeth pierced deeply into his neck, greedily sucking the blood that contained magic power.
