Throne of Magical Arcana

Glorious Cathedral.

The "Lord of Death" transformed by the shadow did not attack immediately. After confirming the location of "Angel of Grace" Franz, he retreated to a dark place outside the room, waiting for the alternation of night and day, waiting for the door of the church to open. At that moment, it will be the most relaxed and carefree moment for Franz.

If he cast the spell now, Franz might have a premonition of danger and make a timely defense.

And fighting in the church, he has not yet recovered to the peak, and he has no certainty of defeating Franz.

Even the cathedral blessed by the "God of Truth" has eternal radiance, and there are many darkness beyond the reach of light. "Death Lord" Thananos stands among them, as if fused with them.

In the hall where the teleportation array was arranged, Franz stood up and waited anxiously for the news. Others may not know it, but he knew very well that there will be a result related to his future tonight, no, that is also It will be the result that affects the whole world situation!

The holy light surging in the teleportation array suddenly radiated brightly, illuminating the entire room like daylight, and the aura of divine magic covered everything.

"There is a result?" Franz's eyes fixed on the teleportation array.

But at this time, in the darkness, two red lights jumped and emerged, and "Death Lord" Tananos keenly sensed an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack. Lanz's attention was all on receiving the news.

He raised his right hand, and the long black sleeves of the magic robe retracted naturally, revealing a pale palm that seemed to have lost all moisture. Every inch of its skin and every line of it was different from ordinary people. With the undead rune, a faint black air emerges, and a strong dead silence appears, as if the kingdom of the dead is reborn under this palm.

Tananos flexed four fingers, leaving only his index finger, and the withered nails were the first to light up a mysterious black-gray.

He let out a rough voice that was difficult for others to hear, and the faces of souls emerged around him, twisted and hideous, but they were all silent, and they poured into the dead black ash on the tip of their index fingers one after another, staining it with a layer of paleness. color.

The body of the "Death Lord" gradually became transparent, becoming not much different from the face of the soul, and then it was sucked in by his index finger, leaving only a pale finger mixed with black and gray in place.

ah!

A shrill scream sounded suddenly, and a blurred face flew out from the tip of the index finger with its mouth wide open, and flew across time and space in an instant, and rushed to Franz's back.

"Assassination?" Franz looked blankly at the teleportation array in front of him, not quite understanding why he would be assassinated in the heavily guarded Glorious Cathedral!

Rays of light exploded from his body, and the trigger-type extraordinary items tried their best to block the penetration of that face.

But at this time, the finger that had turned into a strange black and white gray suddenly appeared in front of Franz, passed through the defense that was about to be broken, and tapped lightly on his forehead.

The initial attack was the most powerful and strange unique legendary spell of the "Death Lord". He named it "Death Resonance", and other magicians gave this magic a nickname - "Death's Call", and the second Bo's "finger" is a legendary item left by the "Death Lord", a one-time legendary item, "the right hand of the ruler of the underworld"!

Franz's stunned and bewildered expression froze, and his body quickly turned black and gray.

Fernando quietly flew into the air, and saw the cathedral in the city shaking violently as if it had been hit by an earthquake. In just a split second, the ground cracked, and a crack filled with red magma was like a giant mouth of a monster, swallowing the cathedral at once.

A legendary level of divine magic erupted in the church, and a ray of holy light shot up into the sky, but "it" was wrapped in a pitch-black ball, and it was dragged downward, flying slower and slower, in just two or three seconds. After that, instead of rising, it fell, and fell directly into the hot magma.

Then, the cracks in the earth closed, and the surroundings were safe and sound, and there was no trace of it, except for the church and the priests inside.

"This level of earth power manipulation..." Fernando felt that this was the best and most exaggerated earth power he had ever seen. Of course, he had at most seen similar spells from the Nine Rings Master, "and The attack was directed at the church..."

From this point, he judged that the other party was a friend rather than an enemy, so he landed slowly, waited for dawn, and mixed into the city to inquire about the news.

…………

The holy city of Lance, the Great Hall of Light.

The old Pope's beard and hair were all white, and his wrinkles seemed to fall from his face. He was so old that he didn't look like a living human being. He was wearing a holy crown, holding a platinum scepter, and looked at the cardinal below without any cloudiness in his eyes. And the holy knights: "Except for the members who guard the fortress and are unable to return, the Cardinals have arrived."

His voice was majestic but loving. After a pause, he raised the platinum scepter and said in a very sacred and solemn way: "The Lord sent an oracle to me and appointed a new pope, and I will return to Heaven Mountain tonight and return to the the arms of the Lord."

"This is a gift from the Lord. Your dedication to the church is like an endless ocean." All members of the College of Cardinals bowed their heads and said respectfully.

The old Pope nodded lightly: "Our dedication is what we get. Now I announce the oracle of the Lord. The new Pope is..."

His eyes swept across the faces of several cardinals, satisfied with their calmness and piety, and then his voice was raised, grand and holy:

"Griffith!"

"May your way be practiced on the earth as it is in your country." A middle-aged man in a plain white robe came out and bowed devoutly to the ground. He had dark skin and ordinary features. There are not so many wrinkles than just, but every move is full of heart-wrenching demeanor.

"Only the truth endures!" The other cardinals also knelt down, drawing a cross on their chests.

Then, everyone stood up and watched Griffith walk towards the seventh floor step by step.

As Griffith steps up, ethereal and timeless singing voices, milky white holy light, and countless gravel-like angels appear one after another, making Griffith feel like walking in the kingdom of the God of Truth.

The majestic holy light enveloped Lance, and all the clergy and believers prostrated and prayed.

The projection of Heaven Mountain appeared in mid-air, and a holy light fell on Griffith, as if adding a layer of halo to him.

Griffith walked up the last step, solemnly and respectfully took the platinum scepter from the hand of the old Pope, then turned to face the members of the College of Cardinals, and raised the scepter high.

At this time, a sacred and majestic voice descended from infinite heights:

"Give you the holy name 'Gregory'!"

The old pope smiled, his body suddenly became transparent, like the purest holy spirit, and then he disintegrated into countless holy light spots, and flew into the mid-air projection of Heavenly Mountain.

Griffith drew a cross on his chest, and announced the same resounding sound throughout the city of Reims as all popes took over:

"From today, I am Gregory!"

Members of the College of Cardinals knelt again: "Only the truth endures!"

At the front of this group of cardinals was a man with blond hair and white robes. His appearance was carved out of stone, handsome and straight, but his nose was slightly raised, making him look a bit gloomy.

At this time, his expression was so focused, and his prayer was so devout, more focused and devout than any member of the College of Cardinals present.

Behind him, some members of the College of Cardinals buried their heads so low that no one could see their expressions.

"What, here was taken over by the Church of the Mother Earth?" Fernando envisioned several situations, such as encountering powerful elemental, force field or astrology magicians (all of whom may be good at earth magic), for example, someone summoned the Duke of the Devil to come, For example, the ancient golden dragon made a surprise attack, but he didn't expect that this place had become the territory of the Mother Earth Church!

He didn't need to inquire about this, because after sneaking into the city, many priests of the Mother Earth Church were conveying this fact to the believers.

"It was the Mother Earth who killed a cardinal last night? That's right, only this legendary pinnacle who is best at earth magic can kill a cardinal who is under the protection of the cathedral so easily..." Fernando suddenly felt at ease. language.

In fact, he, Arnold, and Douglas have all speculated that those Atheistic Churches who have followed the Church of Truth against the Magic Empire since the early days of the Dawn War will sooner or later turn against them because of the strength and strength of the Church of Truth. The previous situation has confirmed that This point, such as the "Sun God" who died under the divine descending technique, but he did not expect that the Mother Earth would rebel so suddenly!

"If the Mother Earth had rebelled during the siege of Lance, maybe the ending would have been different..." Fernando didn't hesitate, and quickly accepted the fact that the Mother Earth had betrayed the Church of Truth, but sighed that it was a bit late, and his heart He pondered and said, "Perhaps it was precisely because of being suppressed by the Church of Truth without the Pope during this period that the coalition forces decided to make important concessions to the Mother Earth."

Standing outside the newly erected Mother Earth Church, Fernando struggled for a while, and decided not to venture in. After all, there are many magicians among the night watchmen, and the priests of the Earth Mother Church who must be sensitive at present may find it hard to trust him, and they still travel day and night Rush to Alto, looking for introductions from familiar partners.

"Antek always told me that his classmate Stannis is amazingly talented and is about to become a legendary magician. Hey, I have to meet him in person." Fernando quickened his pace, trying to sneak out of the city, thinking about the letters and news from his past friends.

At this time, passing by the two priests, he suddenly heard one of them lower his voice and say to the other: "Griffith takes over as Pope, the holy name is Gregory."

"The new pope is born?" Fernando was taken aback for a moment, "What is Ivan thinking now?"

Must go to Alto immediately to inquire!
