The circular stone door gradually closed. Uriel watched as Gunther knelt down on one knee, as if facing his king.
The devil, needless to say, is the nameless one from that "mysterious end", a mysterious creature beyond the level of the ring. He finally understood why Gunther insisted on following. Wittek arranged for Gunther's initiation ceremony to take place in the church. Gaia above, these demons are more audacious than you can imagine. How could I have thought these guys were keeping to themselves?
"What's going on?" the apprentice asked.
"The thing that decides my fate," Button said. "Lord, I'm here to be baptized." The calm expression shattered on his face, and the apprentice found a trace of enthusiasm in it. He had been looking forward to this moment so much that Uriel realized that I had been tricked by Witek.
"You... the end of the mysteries? Oh my God, in the church..." He was almost incoherent.
"This is a sacred place." The unknown unknown person told him. "New members swear their oaths under the gaze of the gods. I think this is very solemn, so I chose this place."
"How many people have you killed?" Uriel heard himself asking desperately.
"Uriel." Gunther also warned in a low voice, his eyes becoming sharp. "He is our lord."
lord. Uriel didn't know that secret societies still had territory. Angry waves surged and roared in his chest. But it doesn't matter where he is a lord, Brumnot is not his territory anyway.
The apprentice touched the ring, which contained a magic that was enough to save him, but at the same time destroy the secret operation. The trip to the church was so dangerous that he would be crazy not to take it with him. "I don't know what Whittaker's arrangements are. What do you want to do?"
"It's just a ceremony." Gunther comforted. “There is no ill will in association.”
"You killed the clergy here!" What else can be considered malicious?
"In my opinion, you should be grateful to me." The dark lord said.
"I thank you on behalf of the dead." There was a faint tremor on the blade, and the cold magic dispelled the oppressive air. Uriel drew his sword and pointed it at the demon at the end of mystery. The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Until he heard Gunther beg. "For Gaia's sake, child, please don't do this." He seemed to be trying his best as he explained. "The Lord will not disrupt our plans. The fire trial in the tower is about to be held, and it will be more difficult to avoid detection... We should help each other."
"There are no believers like you in Gaia." Uriel had never hated a church member so much. "I'm so glad." He looked directly at Gunther, who took my trust as a convenience. In the final analysis, he was not annoyed by Witek's concealment... but as a believer who grew up in a monastery and a Knight of the Goddess' Proverbs, the awe that had been worn away by the work and labor of the Four Leaf City had long since returned to his heart. After the members of the Mysterious End Society killed the priest here, they were destined to become companions.
"You rejoice too soon," said the dark lord.
The button-mouthed "sir" walked through the archway, his chainmail clattering. Uriel raised his sword warily. In fact, he had no illusions about his fighting ability. Defeating Paladin Commander Lemons relied on a bit of luck and Joey's magic, but it turns out that his current fighting skills can't pass Croita's test...
…But the big man in the starless night didn’t take action immediately. He turned his head, not caring about Uriel's offensive behavior. This is of course offensive, and the difference in mysticism is the class in the mystical realm.
"Gunther, you have joined a noble cause," the dark figure said. He put a gray knight's sword on the button worker's shoulder, and strings of magic words flowed into the baptized person's body.
It was a familiar magic, and Uriel discovered the meaning expressed by the runes:
'Song of Fire, Chords of Winter'
It is the fixed lock in Wittek's fire. It seems to be the work of the mysterious creature in front of him. The Black Knight retracted his sword, but there was still a strange coldness spreading, and Uriel seemed to feel that his life was passing away. This is the power of death. In fear, he couldn't help but look into the eyes of the Dark Knight. They were indeed as bright as flames.
This appears to be an undead creature. Uriel's heart was pounding. There was no mistake, he had dealt with these guys in Yotsuba City. Are there demons among the dead?
Gunther lowered his head, seemingly more pious than when facing Gaia. "I feel so honored."
"Not for glory, just because we have a common destiny." The dark knight replied. "So it's just you this time?"
"He hasn't made up his mind yet." Gunther glanced at Uriel. The latter raised his arms stiffly, his frost sword feeling cold.
There was an eerie silence. Unexpectedly, the other party did not embarrass the apprentice. "Then wait until he makes up his mind."
"Excuse my stupidity, Lord Lord, are you waiting for him?"
"Wait." The black knight's eyes revealed a half-smile, and Uriel felt a chill go down his spine.
"But time——"
"Your target will not run away on its own." The black knight lord touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, his meaning was obvious. "You can do whatever you want, but I'm here waiting for him to change his mind."
"He is the tower's apprentice."
"I thought he was an official member."
"He is the apprentice of the White Envoy, sir, and he is also one of our kind."
"Thank you for the reminder. It seems that you know more about how to get along with your companions than I do."
Gunther gave them one last look, bowed and left. He walked around the corpses behind him and disappeared into thin air.
It's time to settle accounts. Uriel took a deep breath and felt the pressure suddenly rise. "You shouldn't kill them." He insisted, and the cold magic surged.
"The Word Arouses"
With the blessing of Lonely Praise, Uriel aimed his sword at the Black Knight's neck. He roughly understands the dangers of the undead. The opponent grabbed the incoming sword edge and let the magic erode his arm.
"You will be grateful to me." The Black Knight repeated, "Priest of Gaia, your sword should not be pointed at your kind - not the nameless ones, but the fellow believers."
The apprentice looked as if he had seen a ghost. "What?"
"Gaia is my guiding spirit until I die."
Could it be that not even the goddess can stop your fall? "Now you are Sauvillier's lackey."
"What you said is really inappropriate." The black knight threw away his sword, and Uriel was staggered by the force. "Ring apprentice of the tower, I know you, Uriel, you have seen those low-level living corpses in Eastman... I am not the same as them. The dead should not be troubled by the past events of their lives. After the fire is rekindled, , the soul in this body is no longer the same person. But I inherited his body and watched his memory, how could this have some impact on me."
That's true. "Who are you?" He couldn't help but be a little curious.
"My name was rarely heard during my lifetime, but after my death I was feared by the mysterious world of Knox." The Black Knight told him, "The Tower of Sky may not have no enemies, and I won't play house with you." The Nameless Man said scornfully Scan the crest in the ice blade. "Has your mentor ever reminded you of the kinds of enemies for which the name of the tower does not work?"
"I use it to protect my friends." His eyes fell on the emblem of the sky. Uriel subconsciously tilted his sword. The friends naturally refer to the detective lady and patrolman Wittek.
"With the power of its master."
He is also my friend. Uriel did not answer.
"This is not your capital to act recklessly, although it can indeed help you solve a lot of troubles." The Undead Knight approached him. The approaching crisis made him prepare to use Joey's magic, but the Black Knight continued: "But the emblem of the sky represents the tower, and the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not only to show courage. The life of a devil is inevitably accompanied by risks, I think. To conceal oneself, one must have extraordinary wisdom. This kind of wisdom is not brought by the accumulation of profound knowledge... Uriel, you really do not need the protection of the Mysterious End. But please remember my advice: there will always be someone Capitalize on your mistakes. Don't let them find an opportunity."
The black knight walked past him, ice chips peeling off. But after the anger was vented, Uriel did not act recklessly again.
"Go to your past, Uriel. There are always things that are different from what we think. What we have is not the power of demons, which allows mortals to create miracles. Everything is a miracle. You will understand then... The End of Mystery is your wisest choice.”
In Uriel's perception, a strange mystery distorted the order. A dark door carved from white bones opened behind him, and the ruined doomsday scene was like the curtain of the world. The dark Lord Knight stepped forward and disappeared into the cold fog.
The relief of the aftermath overwhelmed him. While kneeling on the ground to relieve the trembling of his body, Uriel used Agatha's magic to contact the logistics team in action. He wanted to angrily question the damn devil, and even organized his words: "You'd better explain it to me, Witek Shazo! Our good helper is really helpful." But when things came to pass, he found that he did not have the courage to reveal this secret.
I'm an indecisive coward. he thought sadly. I should expose them to the Tower: a Nameless One from the Skylands has arrived in Blumnot, a growing band of demons, and the sinister shadow lurking in the Sheriff's Department. Even if I don't trust Agatha, I can discuss it directly with Joey... He is both my guide and my friend. But until the end, Uriel still did nothing.
"Hello?" The detective lady wrote. "Did you find any clues?"
How should I tell her that many priests had died in the convent? "I don't have one here." Uriel coughed, "We're going to separate. Can you contact Mr. Gunther?"
"Wait a moment." came the response after a few seconds. "There is no sound, but the magic is still taking effect. I'm afraid there's something wrong with him." Agatha's voice became serious. "Uril, I suggest you evacuate the church immediately."
