Chapter 323: The Tragedy of the Temple City
Learning that the Holy Stone was destroyed, Levi no longer wanted to fight the group of fallen witches in front of him.
He realized that he had fallen into a trap. The attack on the Pope was just a feint like the previous explosions, in order to divert the main force of the Holy Knights away from the giant tower.
The person who planned all this had only one goal from beginning to end, that is - the Holy Stone.
The deputy leader of the Holy Knights had figured everything out in a flash, but he still couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Based on his understanding of the Witch Alliance, those fallen witches wandering in the wild were almost the same as savages. They could not establish stable settlements, manufacture weapons and equipment, and even could not produce basic daily necessities by themselves.
The reason why they can survive until now is that they rely on the supplies that flowed out of the Temple City through various channels.
In other words, once the Temple City is gone, they can't hold on for long.
Without the protection of the Holy Stone, everyone will die.
Less than 5 minutes had passed, and there were only a few fallen witches left, and they were about to be wiped out.
However, Levi ordered a retreat at this time. He didn't want to delay any longer, and just wanted to return to the giant tower immediately to confirm the condition of the holy stone with his own eyes.
As long as the holy stone was intact, the fallen witches who sneaked into the city could be dealt with at any time. Otherwise, even if all these people were killed, it would not help.
So the next moment, the witches who were waiting to die saw that the knights on the opposite side had all retreated, and they had retreated completely in less than a minute.
The remaining survivors looked at each other in bewilderment. If it weren't for the bodies of their companions lying on the ground and the traces of the previous battle nearby, they couldn't help but doubt whether the battle just now really happened.
Ouroboros also had a sense of escaping death. Her heart was shot through at the beginning of the battle. It would be impossible for ordinary people to survive with such serious injuries.
Even Ouroboros's first reaction was that she was going to die. However, when she fell to the ground, her consciousness did not dissipate. Her heart had clearly stopped beating, but the blood was still flowing.
——Second Heart.
This purple equipment given to her by Malu saved her. After her heart was fatally injured, it continued to work as her heart.
Later, a fallen witch found that she was still alive and dragged her into the bunker in the rain of bullets. On the way, Ouroboros was shot again, but this time the bullet did not hit her vitals.
The effect of another golden equipment on Ouroboros, the Sage Earring, was triggered, which helped her resist the damage.
Then she released the active skill of the second heart - blood production, restored her HP, and gritted her teeth to re-enter the battle.
The addition of Ouroboros did relieve a lot of pressure on the fallen witch, but she could not reverse the unfavorable situation by herself.
Seeing her companions fall one by one, the girl's eyes were red and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
They are already the main force of the Witch Alliance's action tonight, but there is still an insurmountable gap compared to the elite of the Paladin Order.
Ouroboros is not afraid of death, but thinking of the mission on his shoulders, he is unwilling to fall here.
Unfortunately, the outcome has long lost suspense.
The girl considered using self-detonation to die with the enemy in the end. On the one hand, this will not expose her identity and cause trouble to Malu and others, and on the other hand, she can drag a few people to die before she dies.
Just when she made up her mind and planned to act, the enemies on the opposite side retreated in advance as if they had foreseen the danger.
Ouroboros certainly didn't think that those guys were scared away by her, and suspected that there was another conspiracy, and the other fallen witches who escaped from death were also in doubt at this time.
I don't understand why the church is so kind and let them go.
After a while, another fallen witch spoke up, "I, what should we do next?"
Ouroboros thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "Keep going. We must complete the mission, otherwise the sacrifices of others will be in vain."
"But now there are only eight of us," said another person, "Even if we find the Pope, we will not be a match for the guards around him."
"Now that things have come to this, there is no way back." Ouroboros' eyes revealed a firm look again, "I promised Lord Shrike that I would fight for the freedom of the witch clan until the last moment."
The remaining fallen witches listened to her words and said, "Then we will follow you until death comes."
The group was treated briefly and quickly rushed to Renxin Square. To their surprise, they encountered almost no obstacles on the next section of the road.
When they arrived at their destination, they soon saw the Pope in the crowd.
At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the statue of the prophet Yongyi, and there were tens of thousands of believers around him, including the guards and police around him, who followed him to pray to the statue.
They were all very involved, and even the appearance of Ouroboros and others did not cause any ripples.
The eight fallen witches walked straight to the old pope without being stopped.
One of the fallen witches put the long sword in her hand on the old pope's neck, "Hey, old man, do you know who we are?"
However, the latter seemed not to see, but just kept muttering, "May the prophet guide us, may the prophet guide us..."
"Old man, wake up. Your prophet died hundreds of years ago and can't help you anymore. If you don't want to die, come and talk to us first."
However, after she finished speaking, the Pope still seemed to have heard nothing, just staring at the stone statue in front of him.
The fallen witch was a little angry when she saw this, so she swung her sword and chopped the old Pope's left arm. Soon there was a deep wound there, and blood gushed out of the wound.
The pain finally made the old man raise his head, but his wrinkled eyes were very empty.
"It's meaningless, all this is meaningless..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? So many of us died and it cost so much to come here. How can it be meaningless to catch you?" The fallen witch shouted, "Today, you must pay back what you owe us!"
However, the old Pope just remained silent after hearing this.
The patience of the fallen witch was almost exhausted, and she raised the long sword in her hand again, wanting to add another wound to the old man in front of her.
But Ouroboros stopped her, "Something is not right."
Even if she didn't say it, the other seven fallen witches also felt the strange atmosphere around them. Those people seemed to have suddenly lost interest in everything, and faint sobs were heard from the crowd.
Until Ouroboros saw a group of children, they were the only ones who didn't kneel down in the square, and when they saw her looking at them, they all showed fear on their faces.
Ouroboros stepped forward and grabbed one of the little boys, asking him what happened here. The boy stammered.
"I heard from the church that it seems that the holy stone was blown up."
