In the picture, the sky is already full of stars and the moon is setting in the west.
As the Star Sword Master walked towards the Grand Temple of Glory, Ren was surprised to find that his perception, or spiritual will, seemed to be one with the Sword Master.
If he was just a bystander just now, in the sight of the people eating melons, then now he has become the subject of the painting.
At this moment, he seemed to have become the Star Sword Master.
Ren can "feel" the vast sea-like power flowing in his body. It seems that just waving the sword of mortal iron in his hand is enough to tear the sky and divide the earth.
Some information, some memories, and some emotions also vaguely resonate with him...
The Great Temple of Glory located in the capital of the St. Joan Empire, the city of Flenye, is one of the nine top temples on the Saigon continent dedicated to the supreme goddess of light.
The entire temple is built of ivory white marble.
In front of the temple are 24 marble columns with two people embracing each other. The columns are fully carved with praises to the goddess of light and the angels who follow her.
There is an angel statue standing on the top of the temple, and the wings behind it exude a soft milky white rune light, covering the entire temple like an eternal glory.
Today, however, this sacred temple is in crisis.
At the gate of the palace, a group of paladins stopped in front of Star Sword Master O'Gross, and the atmosphere was tense.
The battle is about to break out.
At this time, a cardinal stood out from the crowd and shouted coldly:
"O'Gross! Are you crazy? That witch's hands are stained with blood, and she deserves to be burned to death... Do you really want to fight the church to the death for her by forcing your way into the Great Temple?"
Cardinal Whitt...the name automatically came to Wren's mind.
But the bishop's dissuasion was doomed to be ineffective.
After opening the Black Stone of Inheritance, Ren somehow assumed the identity of the Star Sword Master. He could feel the determination in the Sword Master's heart.
"The kindness I owe must be repaid."
Starry Sky Sword Master Ogros shook his head slightly, starlight already surged on his body, his iron sword pointed at the high platform, and he stepped forward!
The sound of the sword is like thunder! !
"Stop him, don't let him interfere with the execution!"
The cardinal sighed, raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then waved it down hard!
Two teams of Paladins rode into the long street on one-horned white horses, four in a row, and charged at the Starry Sky Sword Master.
The Starry Sky Sword Master shouted coldly, and a bright light like a galaxy began to appear all over his body, and wisps of starlight divine light quickly spread to the iron sword in his hand.
"kill!"
He shouted again, and the sound echoed in the night sky like thunder!
The horses of the Holy Knights in front were frightened. Before these knights could control their horses, the iron swords swallowing starlight had already broken through the air and attacked!
Poof!
Streams of starry sword light instantly penetrated the breastplate of the paladin who rushed at the front, passing through his body without any hindrance, leaving only a bloody hole!
A dozen paladins were stabbed to death, leaving a trail of blood.
boom!
Morning Star Sword Qi outlined an arc-shaped trajectory, turned into a crescent-like sword light and crossed the 100-meter-long street, once again crossed the bodies of the two priests, and broke through the temple door!
Rubbles flew and the rune array under the temple dimmed.
The fuse of the battle was also exposed in front of everyone.
In the majestic temple, a tall black stone pillar has been erected in the center of the huge central square.
Hundreds of paladins and many priests looked solemn, guarding the black stone pillars.
The black stone pillars are covered with golden sacred texts, lingering with the vast milky white holy power, and countless shining golden chains bind a tall woman.
She was wearing a black robe and had a pretty face. Her skin was like ice and snow, but blood was oozing from it. Her pale face made her red lips look even more gorgeous.
'It's over. '
Looking at this towering black stone pillar, Ren's heart ached and felt very desperate.
This was certainly not his emotion, it was the Starry Sky Sword Master who was desperate.
As for why the sword master is desperate, Renn also knows it very well.
Around the black stone pillars, sacred runes were imprinted on the ground and even in the void. The entire central square was actually arranged into a huge rune array.
Paladins were stationed at the entrance to the square, preventing anyone from approaching the execution square.
A high platform has been built on the west side of the square, and a high chair with scarlet velvet cushions and various ancient jewelry has just been placed on the high platform.
A team of senior light priests were guarding under the high platform. They exuded a powerful aura of holy power, and the huge rune array in the square gradually began to operate!
One by one, the huge sacred symbols began to glow.
A low hum sounded in the air.
On the high platform, there was also a group of cardinals standing, each of them with a majestic aura, and their bright clothes were densely covered with the luster of sacred texts.
“Mortal man, if you are born according to the glory of the Lord and walk in the glory of the Lord, you will surely be freed from the shackles of the world...
And fallen one, at the end of the road of betrayal and degradation, all the glory given to you by the Lord will dissipate..."
Many priests and priests sang.
The rune array was operating at high speed, and the vibrations in the air gradually turned into chants.
A thin, dry old man wearing a high crown sat on a chair on the high platform surrounded by many cardinals.
His body is stooped, his face is old, and he is concentrating with his eyes closed.
"Is this the Pope from six hundred years ago - Francis IV?"
At this time, Ren, who was taking on the perspective of the Star Sword Master, was speechless.
In the center of the high platform, next to the old pope, stood a blond man with blue eyes and a resolute face.
The man was wearing white leather armor with a cold expression. There was a golden spear stuck next to him, and the light of holy power on the gun was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it.
Sacred Artifact Spear──Redigail, the weapon of Louis, the Storm God of War in the Fourth Age.
This lance has been wielded by successive Masters of the Knights Templar.
With such a large formation, even Ren knew that the witch being judged on the black stone pillar definitely had a strong connection, and was not just related to the Starry Sky Sword Master.
The gate of the temple was broken down by the Starry Sky Sword Master. Of course, everyone in the church in the square saw the movement on the street outside.
Some people's faces changed slightly, while more people were indifferent.
A group of priests surrounded the burning stake and began to cast spells, and melodious, loud and neat chants sounded.
The golden sacred text on the black stone pillar shone brightly, and the terrifying white holy power flame began to burn the witch.
She didn't say anything, just looked at the sword master outside the square quietly.
"stop!!"
A Templar knight was slashed away with one sword, and the Starry Sky Sword Master who was galloping from the street outside the temple interrupted the burning torture imposed by the priests with a loud shout.
"Fool, you shouldn't be here."
A pair of jade feet were dripping with blood in the flames of the holy power, but the witch's expression was cold, as if she was disgusted.
Starry Sky Sword Master looked at the bound witch from afar, with a very impatient expression on his face:
"Stupid woman, do you think I am willing to rescue you? I told you to find a place to live an honest life, but you have to jump out and seek death!"
The sword master's words were not loud, but they echoed in the ears of everyone in the square.
"O'Gross, what happened today is not the personal grudges in the past. You have killed many of us, and now you are captured without mercy. The church can still spare your life..."
Outside the square, Cardinal Whit, who had led people to intercept the Juggernaut before, said sharply.
"Unless you are willing to let her go, there is no need to talk!" Starry Sky Sword Master held an iron sword with a cold expression.
"That's impossible!" the cardinal refused.
"Stop him!"
On the high platform on the west side of the square, next to the sleepy old pope, the blond man with blue eyes said.
Negotiations broke down.
At this time, the paladins and priests guarding the square also took action.
They are all elites. In fact, there are many fourth-level masters, and there are even many holy temples. Together with the powerful rune formations in the great temple, they are enough to strangle ordinary saints.
Zheng!
The Star Sword Master holds an iron sword and rushes into the ranks of the Paladins.
The Starlight Sword Qi was like a tree blooming with flowers. Countless blood flew out of each holy knight's throat or heart, and no one could stop him for a moment!
It was a smooth ride all the way.
In another ten meters, we will exit the long street and step into the square inside the temple.
Blood stained the hundred-meter-long street in front of the temple. Dozens of holy knights lay on the street, sleeping forever.
"Do it!"
On the high platform of the square, the old pope and the head of the Knights Templar had not yet expressed their feelings, but the group of cardinals were impatient.
Boom boom boom!
The breath of holy power is like a volcano erupting, shining brightly on the world.
Countless cross light seals, holy light missiles, and holy impact light pillars flew toward the starry sky sword master.
Boom!
Holy thunder descended from the sky, or white flames burned, and the outside of the temple suddenly bloomed like flowers. The holy power of the exploded flames flowed everywhere, and several small buildings on the ground at the entrance of the street were completely destroyed!
"Imagine yourself in the starry sky. The sun, moon and stars can all be swords!"
The Star Sword Master's voice sounded in Ren's heart.
Outside the temple, in the torrent of energy formed by countless holy flames, holy thunder, light cannon bombings, etc., a picture of the vast starry sky suddenly rose!
Domain──Starry Sky Sword River!
In the stunned eyes of many paladins and priests, a brilliant sword light surged like a galaxy, sweeping away all attacks in an instant.
The sword master has his feet on the galaxy and holds an iron sword, but he has no enemy.
In the blink of an eye, he laughed loudly, broke out of the siege, and stepped into the square inside the temple!
"This...this heresy has reached such a state!"
The dozen cardinals on the high platform were a little panicked.
To be able to become a cardinal is at least to be a saint. Among the dozen or so of them, there were even two saints. Together with the paladins and the formation, they still couldn't stop him.
Cardinal Whit, who was the first to stop him, was sweating on his forehead and was about to command the knights and priests to launch another round of siege.
"No need, leave it to me." The heroic and masculine man next to the Pope on the high platform said coldly.
"Captain, your injury is not healed yet." A paladin stopped him.
"You all stand down."
The man with a resolute face ordered, stretched out his hand to call, and the holy spear inserted on the high platform automatically flew back to his hand.
Then white light emitted from his whole body, and in an instant the light became as strong as real substance. His body slowly rose into the sky, heading towards the starry sky sword master in front of him.
"Kadir, you fought with the leader of the Fire Dragon Knights of Farolan not long ago and both of you were injured. You can't stop me."
In mid-air, the Star Sword Master restrained his brilliance and greeted the leader of the Templar Knights in front of him.
The two are old rivals. They have fought for many years and feel a bit sympathetic to each other.
Kadir looked at the Starry Sky Sword with complicated emotions, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that such a day would come... I would like to advise you one last time, stop now, it's still too late."
"I know what I'm doing. Without her, I would have starved to death on the streets, let alone become a transcendent."
The Star Sword Master took a deep look at the witch on the black stone pillar.
"This vicious woman is just using you as a test subject...she had no good intentions at all when she trained you. Even if it's just to repay a favor, is it to this extent?"
"To me, it is."
"Ogros, you can't save her this time. If you stop now, you can still live!" the leader of the Templar Knights shouted coldly.
"It's useless to talk anymore, let's fight!!"
The light of the galaxy around the Starry Sky Sword Master lit up again and became as solid as the night sky approaching.
He let out a long roar and stabbed out with a sword, like the stars turning upside down!
The white light on Kadir, the leader of the Knights Templar six hundred years ago, suddenly lit up, and the holy spear flickered in the air, meeting the sword energy of the Starry Sky Sword Master.
Boom!
There was a dull roar in the air.
The space was slightly distorted in an instant, and the ground seemed to be shaking slightly. Several paladins suddenly fell down because they stood too close.
Then, a lot of blood spilled from their armor.
"Thunder Strike!"
After a few fighting moves, Kadir roared angrily, and the holy spear shone brightly, like the sun falling from the sky, followed by countless arcs of lightning!
Boom... boom!
The holy spear swept downwards, and hundreds of holy lightning bolts flashed through, forming a line like a thunder dragon slashing down. The starry sky sword master's body fell diagonally from the sky.
boom!
The sword master's body fell to the ground, and the temple square suddenly shook.
Even with the protection of the holy text formation, there are still cracks appearing on the floor tiles.
Kadir appeared in the air, and the leather armor on his body was broken.
The long golden hair was dancing in the wind, and there was a hint of regret in his green eyes, but the strands of blood seeping out of some wounds on his body proved that he was also injured.
"We must win, Captain Qadir!"
"Captain, take down that heretic!"
Seeing that the leader of the Knights Templar had the upper hand, the holy knights and priests in the square started talking.
Seeing Kadir holding the holy spear and surrounded by the dazzling holy light, as if he was possessed by the God of War, many young knights even burst into tears with excitement.
"Alas~"
With a sigh, the downed Juggernaut's eyes became as deep as the starry night.
His figure suddenly disappeared. At the same moment, he appeared behind Kadir and stabbed him with a sword!
Next, it’s all about fighting.
When the sword light struck, Kadir let out a long roar, his figure suddenly blurred, and the holy spear suddenly turned around and hit the tip of the sword!
Clang, clang, clang!
The two men fought fiercely in the air, and the surrounding space began to distort, filled with thunder, sword light, lightning, fire, and strange screams caused by the tearing of the atmosphere!
After a while, a strange scene appeared in the sky.
Half of the galaxy is dazzling, and half is dazzling with holy light. The brilliant starlight and the rich holy power are constantly colliding, and both the Star Sword Master and Kadir have expanded their fields.
Their figures couldn't be seen clearly, as afterimages passed by.
Every time the sword energy and gun light collide, there will be an earth-shattering roar, and the force tide set off even forms a whirlpool, and the stars and holy light surge like water splashes!
puff!
A large amount of blood spilled!
Kadir fell from a high altitude, and the blood stained his broken white leather armor, which was full of sword marks. He supported his body with the holy spear, and a lot of blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
The sword wounds on the body surface were secondary. The key was that the old wounds in the body had recurred. They were injured by the demon-slaying art of the leader of the Fire Dragon Knights.
The injury has not healed yet, so he lost.
"This is impossible!"
"That heretic actually..."
This caused many paladins to change their expressions, as if the sky was falling, and many priests and priests also had ugly expressions.
"Alas, farewell, O'Gross."
The Templar threw his gun to the ground without falling.
He had a look of regret on his face. If he could stop the Star Sword Master this time and the Pope didn't take action, maybe he would still have hope of survival...
It's a pity that he was injured before, and now everything is irreversible.
The Star Sword Master did not pursue the seriously injured Templar leader, but flew towards the witch who was burned by the flames of the holy power on the black stone pillar.
At this time, the Pope on the high platform opened his sleepy eyes.
At this moment, Starry Sky Sword Master suddenly felt something and looked towards the high platform.
Ren, who had been immersed in his perception, suddenly felt a trembling feeling, as if he was an ant, and he couldn't even muster the courage to take action...
He could feel that the sword master was not afraid, but just a little desperate.
However, Ren was not as powerful as the Star Sword Master. Even if he knew the past scenes recorded in the Black Stone of Inheritance, he felt suffocated when facing the Pope.
"Young man, I know you have a grudge against the church, and I don't intend to bully the small. But this time, you shouldn't be here." The pope's voice on the high platform was very low.
But everyone heard these words, as if from the depths of their souls.
The Pope stood up.
At that moment, it seemed that everyone and everything seemed to be dwarfed by this thin and withered old man.
boom!
In an instant, the runes in the square lit up.
Amid the deafening chants, a huge beam of light soared into the sky!
The milky white clouds focused crazily towards the light pillar, and the sky began to rumbling with thunder. More and more clouds gathered, but the clouds became brighter and brighter, as if there was a sun hidden in the clouds. Countless people began to appear in the sky. Dots of holy power floated down.
In an instant, the starry night scene surrounding the Starry Sky Sword Master was submerged.
The domain, the Starry Sky Sword River, was forcibly sealed.
"The Lord created everything, and the Lord controls the world. The Lord said that if the stars are silent tonight, there will be no brilliance."
This is a great prophecy, with so much holy power, it seems that the only thing left in the world is the Pope's majestic voice!
Everything in the world suddenly lost its color and everything became still.
The starry sky swordsman who rushed towards the witch also froze in the sky. The temple, the starry sky, the paladins, the priests and priests... everything in front of them turned into black and white.
"My body becomes a sword, and the galaxy becomes a sword!"
The world regained a touch of color, but it was fleeting.
It was a ray of pure light like the Milky Way.
Burning the will, burning the life, burning silently, the light flashed, a sleeve of the Pope turned into fly ash, and a blood mark appeared on the arm.
The Starry Sky Sword Master fell from the air and fell to the ground. There was silence around him. He staggered to the black stone pillar.
One bloody step at a time.
The iron sword in his hand turned into dust.
The holy flames were already burning the witch's body, and as the swordmaster approached, his body was also set on fire.
"Fool, you shouldn't have come back..." The witch finally burst into tears.
"If I don't come back, I will never see you again..." The holy fire burned his body, and a smile appeared on the Juggernaut's face.
"This is my fate. A woman like me deserves to be burned to death."
"But I can't watch my mother being burned to death and remain indifferent."
Life was like a summer flower, only for a moment of splendor. In the flames of holy power that soared into the sky, their figures were reduced to ashes.
