Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 854 Let’s fight to the death

On the other side, Aleister reappeared.

She was back at the top of the bell tower, just as she had been when she first entered the painting.

The clock tower is still intact, but the surrounding buildings appear to have been bombed. Comparing it with the scene that was still in her memory, it was even better to see what the city had gone through.

only……

"...It seems like the explosion wasn't very powerful."

Aleister commented.

Although many buildings have collapsed, the outline of the original building complex can still be seen. Buildings with their frames still intact occupy more than 70% of the area, and only most of the tall buildings have disappeared. On the contrary, the relatively low-rise residential buildings and shops were almost all intact, and even the streets were not destroyed by the bombing.

Looking up, the clock tower has become the tallest building in the city.

——Compared to being detonated from the ground by something like a missile, it was closer to something like a meteor shower falling diagonally from a high place. So the things that get hurt first are the higher things.

"...It's really surprising."

Aleister looked up at the purple-red sky, showing an expression of satisfaction and excitement.

A light purple halo instantly appeared at the bottom of her pupils, making her scarlet pupils reflect a color very close to the sky.

Aleister murmured in a low voice: "I thought they would choose Fallen Sky Division or Shadow Sky Division..."

...But that’s not necessarily the case.

Because there is another possibility here - that is, they don't know the "Endless Knot".

The time of their arrival happens to be August 8, and "eight" is the sacred number of the Snake Father and the Endless Knot. As long as they pay attention to today, they can easily find out the information that "Snake Father is dead".

Although for most people, it is impossible for them to know that the real reason why Snake Father abdicated was to break through the Twilight Wall... But since it has reached the level of four to five, at least the change of "kingship" should be known. In the past, the Silver Crowned Dragon could replace the Supreme Heaven, and it is not impossible for the new Pillar God to replace the Snake Father.

This is especially true for those promoted from the first two paintings.

The first painting tells the story of the host's ascent. The three endings of the second painting respectively tell the story of the promotion of the Silver Crowned Dragon, the promotion of Hengwo, or the promotion of Yi Tiansi and the Lord of Scale Feathers. Even if it is based on the "same tone", there should be content about the replacement of pillar gods in the third painting.

But if they didn't push the plot honestly enough and didn't realize the identity of "Endless Knot"...

...So in the eyes of most promoted people, Endless Knot, who is not a nine-pillar god and does not have the name of "Tiansi", is just an apostle at best.

They voted for Endless Knot precisely because they wanted to reach the simplest ending!

This is not because of their courage...but because of their fear.

"It's really fun."

Aleister couldn't help but laugh: "I chose to escape with a timid heart, but instead stepped into the most difficult river to cross.

"Is this fate? Giving the weak an invincible enemy and giving the coward an inescapable path..."

However, fighting Huan Tiansi... is still a bit too outrageous for the promotion ceremony of four to five.

What can a group of fourth-level ascendants do?

——I fight Tiansi? Real or fake?

It is impossible for a promotion ceremony to have a main quest that cannot be solved no matter what. As long as this task exists, it means that it is theoretically possible to complete it, which means that at least the three endings of the third painting must be completed.

However, this painting has the most points awarded and is also the most difficult.

There's a good chance there's going to be a fight here.

...Even if Huantiansi comes, the most you can do is fight the monsters summoned by Huantiansi.

For Aleister, fighting was never a problem.

She only knows three words - fight! Cool!

Aleister is looking forward to Huan Tiansi's arrival just because she really can't stand Huan Tiansi's Riddler.

She wanted to ask Huan Tiansi a few questions openly and openly - Are you planning to eat me? Is my life controlled by you?

——If so, then declare war!

It is impossible to give in!

He must fight no matter what, even if he cannot defeat him in the end, he must bite off a piece of his flesh; if some of his "great plans" require the existence of Aiwass and Aleister, and even the Pillar God cannot save them ...Then I would rather break up with him than let his conspiracy succeed.

Only those who have scruples will be bullied.

If you want to make people fearful, you have to ask for nothing and have no taboos. Only with such ruthless courage, and the other party realizes that she really dares to fight to the death... will they take a step back and talk.

At this moment, Aleister heard footsteps behind him and below.

Someone was walking up the spiral staircase inside the bell tower step by step.

Night Devil, who had turned into a crow and stood on the handrail, suddenly flew up and turned around with Aleister.

"——I mean no harm."

It was a female voice: "Excuse me, can I come up?"

"...Come up."

Aleister curled his lips and replied coldly.

When she first heard the footsteps, she thought it was Aiwass coming to find her.

They were not separated at that time, they were both Aiwass.

It was here that Aiwass and Isabel watched Yanis paint the last painting before leaving Avalon.

For Aiwass, Aleister and Isabel, this bell tower has special meaning.

Soon, a middle-aged woman with her hands raised slowly walked up.

She looked to be in her thirties and had a black ponytail. Wear a low-key and old-fashioned women's suit.

Although she looks like an older young woman, as an alchemist who can refine beauty potions, her actual age is only higher. The woman had the calm, friendly and smooth temperament of an official, and she also wore gold-rimmed glasses... She looked more like a polite lawyer than a scholar.

"...The royal alchemist, right?"

Seeing that the person coming was not Aiwass, Aleister said lazily, losing some interest: "You came to see me?"

"No, I just think...this bell tower may be the key point."

Princess Noelle said softly: "I heard Lalo say that you are Aleister Crowley...the hero who killed the red phase.

"I'm Noelle Valentine. Thank you."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Aleister.

Seeing that the person coming was not here to fight with him, Aleister completely lost interest.

She waved her hand: "Whatever, whatever it is... that old dog is a man. For his sake, I won't do anything to you. If you want to wait here, just wait, but I don't recommend that you wait here." It’s waiting.”

"Because the enemy will appear from here later, right?"

Princess Noelle suddenly spoke.

Aleister looked at her in surprise.

And Noelle continued: "All tall enough buildings in this city have been destroyed, and only this bell tower is left intact, with no traces of being bombed. You can tell at a glance that this place is too... Abnormal. If it doesn’t have any key props here, it must be the final battle location chosen by the host, so it can only be the latter.”

"...What, you want to die?"

Aleister sneered, changing from his friendly and gentle attitude in the preparation room: "Do you know what opponent you will face? If there is a fight, I will not protect you."

For some reason, she suddenly felt waves of panic and boredom.

An unfounded anger made her obviously irritable.

But the eldest princess said calmly: "I am not here to seek death.

"On the contrary - I'm here to find [courage]."

The last words spoken by "The Sun" emerged in her mind:

"——Don't you want courage?"

"——Then I will give you courage."

Now, I have the courage. Noelle said to her heart.

And I still need more courage, courage enough to face all difficulties.

This is a trial—and I will come out of it.

"……snort."

Aleister snorted coldly, but his attitude became a little gentler.
