Chapter 347: The War Between the 'Son of God' and the Cultists
The number of knights of the Church of the Magic Sword on the scene was not large, and no one could have imagined that at the moment when the Pope personally led the people to pray to the legendary Sparta the Demon Swordsman, someone would take the opportunity to kill the Pope, who seemed to have a loving face.
Jumped from a height of tens of meters, and then drew a gun to accurately open a hole in the Pope's skull. The life that can do such a thing in an instant is not considered by the Demon Sword Church at all.
The head of the Knights, Credo, had only assigned hundreds of knights to defend the entire church, and he did not expect that someone would already be hiding on the roof of the church, and he would quickly strike at the perfect time for everyone to close their eyes, and hit the vital point with one blow.
Naturally, the Knights will never let go of those who shoot at the supreme leader. In order to make up for the failure of the Knights' guard mission, more than a dozen knights closest to the Pope immediately rushed to the circular platform in front of the Pope's podium and surrounded the two assassins of the Pope. The swords came out of their sheaths one after another, roaring like motorcycles.
"Yo, Virgil, don't you think the weapons in these guys' hands are familiar?"
The mass-produced single-edged longsword of the same name as the Sword of Stone was held in the hands of each member of the Knights' Regiment, and the strange thing was that the hilt of this sword was equipped with a device that could feed fuel into the sword engine, and with the help of the energy of the high-energy fuel, it exerted speed and power far beyond what humans could achieve.
And the knightly sword of the Knights also has its origin, that is, the sword of Sparta that was once used by Sparta. A series of modifications were made to the shape of the Spartan sword in the records, resulting in the standard knightly sword used by the Knights today.
A sword specially made for demons is not only sturdy enough for knights, but its demon-breaking effect also reduces the user's stress on dealing with demons.
However. In front of the sons of Sparta, the weapons of the Demon Sword Church were nothing more than tattered imitations of the shape of the Spartan Sword.
"It's just a bunch of imitations that aren't even of the grade. Quickly clean them all up. I don't want to wait for reinforcements from the Order to come and surround us. ”
The new Enma Sword unsheathed, slicing through the bodies and weapons of the five surrounding knights like a crescent moon. Even if it's a mass-produced weapon. However, the knight sword made by the Demon Sword Sect borrowed from the materials of the magic weapon, mixed with minerals from the demon world as raw materials, and after an unknown number of improvements, it became its current appearance.
Its hardness and actual combat effect are impeccable melee weapons, and it has a sturdiness that even ordinary magic weapons and knight swords can't win. However, when it comes to actually confronting the weapons used by the legendary magic swordsman, the durability that the makers of the knight's sword are proud of becomes a joke.
Although the spatial cutting is not yet within the reach of Virgil, the new Enma Knife has been able to exert the effect of spatial cutting through the infusion of Virgil's demonic power under the special addition of Heart Seeking. It was just a single sword, and the half-moon sword qi that was swung not only cut off the knights near Virgil along with the weapons. Even the knights in the rear who had not yet been able to join the battle could not resist. The knights who blocked the two were instantly reduced by nearly half under Virgil's sword.
"It's still the same...... There is not the slightest hint of mercy on the part of his subordinates. ”
"Aren't you too?"
The heavy Rebellious Blade is slightly stronger than the Enma Blade, and the first thing to consider when fighting Dante, who has the ability to swing rebellion easily, is not whether he can keep up with Dante's swinging speed, but whether the weapon in his hand can take the rebellious blow. Similar to the Heart-Seeking Forge as an Infinite Apostle, the Knight's Sword was doomed to destruction when it was used to stop the rebellion.
The weapons and abilities of the knights were not enough to make the two enemies in one. However, after killing the knights who surrounded him, Dante and Virgil respectively noticed the strange state of the knight's death.
"Oh, Daddy and Godfather are right, what a big fish! Who would have thought that among the Demon Sword Church, which takes slaying demons as its mission, the most famous elites of the Knights are actually this kind of thing. ”
The part that was exposed under the shattered knight's armor really made Dante very concerned. That's not a human body at all. Under the sealed helmet was a skull-like appearance, and no blood flowed out of the torn part, and what fell outside was the internal organs that had been drained of water.
After realizing that the members of the Knights were actually like this after their deaths, Dante even thought that he had run into the inside of the pyramid and encountered a large number of zombies.
And the other side. Virgil confronted the head of the Knights, Credo, and as the chief of the Knights, the sword in Credo's hand was Durandal, the only one in the Magic Sword Church. The sturdiness is far higher than that of ordinary Knights' mass-produced weapons. In the absence of Virgil using all his strength, Durandar and Enma were evenly matched.
"It's a bit level. Looks like you're the leader of the Knights! Good swordsmanship. I've had a lot of training. It's a pity ......"
The weapons collided again, and Virgil used only one-handed power to easily take Credo's slash. Although Virgil did not take advantage of the weapon. But the difference in strength between the two is too great, and the strength of Credo's whole body is not even comparable to one of Virgil's arms.
Turning sideways at the same time, he relaxed his fingers that were gripping the Enma Knife, and after Credo's Durandal lost the obstacle in front of him, he didn't grasp the strength for a while and slashed into the air. Through the space mirror, Virgil observes that it is Credo who has been taking care of his son when he is unable to take care of Nero.
With a flick of the tip of his knife, Virgil sent Durandal into the air and then punched Credo into the opposite wall of the church. The massive impact caused the walls of the church to crack like a spider's web, and Credo fell to the ground like a tattered sackcloth. Falling off the wall, Credo tried to get up and continue fighting, but the sharp pain from his body could only make Credo slowly stand up, and it was impossible to join the battle.
"So, next is ......"
Dante and Virgil's eyes converge on Nero, who was dragging Juliet away. Due to the angle, Nero and Credo saw that the next target of the assassins who suddenly attacked the Pope was actually the most cherished Gilliet of the two. As Dante and Virgil get closer to Nero, Nero and Credo's spirits are tense to the extreme.
"Nero, quick, get out of here with Kyriet!"
Realizing that his sister seemed to be being targeted, Credo's body swelled with strength again. Removing a barely working plank from the broken bench, Credo struggled past the rubble in front of him and slashed at the two Assassins who were approaching his sister.
It's just that this time, Virgil didn't even bother to pull out the Enma knife, and casually picked up a long table and aimed it at the unavoidable Credo in the air, and flew to the exit of the church like a fly.
"If you don't have a weapon, don't come and die......"
Virgil, who was still about to say something, suddenly turned his head, and two large-caliber bullets grazed Virgil's silver hair, knocking two transparent round holes into the stone statue behind him.
"Oh? Virgil, the two bullets are specially made, and they have a good effect on the upper demons......"
There was a slight time difference between the two bullets, so that the first armor-piercing projectile would shatter the demon's scale armor, and the second armor-piercing projectile would reach the wounded area, piercing the thick flesh.
"Interesting...... Dante, don't meddle, I'm going to test it myself......"
Instead of pulling out the weapon that crushed the knight of the Church at his waist, Virgil stared with an expectant expression at the blue rose that was still emitting a wisp of green smoke and Nero who was doing it to himself. Feeling Virgil's seemingly ubiquitous and overwhelming courage up close, Nero finally knew why the famous Knights were no different from the miscellaneous fish in front of him.
However, with Kiriet beside him, Nero, who had made up his mind that he must not retreat, cheered up and walked in the direction of Virgil with his fingers clenched...... (To be continued......)
