Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 99: Missed Again
“Ms. Remedios, what…what’s going on?”
Looking at the network formed by thousands of tracks in the narrow space, Nazemal subconsciously squatted slightly and covered his head with his hands.
Remedios did not answer, nor did she try to dodge the arrow that kept whistling in her ear.
She knew that the arrow named "Cause and Effect" had already locked onto a being named "Flaror Cain" and was now exhausting all possibilities to find a way to pierce the opponent's throat.
This arrow, which is said to hit the opponent as if it were destiny, is as dangerous as the Void King who made it, but it is also as trustworthy as the Void King who made it - it will not ask for any additional reward before piercing the target.
However, because it could neither penetrate nor bypass the reinforced barrier, the trajectory of the arrow became visibly messy and violent.
" Sibyl , how long will it take you..."
Seeing this, Remedios turned around and shouted anxiously.
"Don't rush, I'm already doing it."
The white film in her eyes swirled into a nebula shape, and Sibyl answered in the same anxious tone.
The magic power was controlled by her strong will, and at this moment, it was dismantling the [Anti-Entropy] spell with the precision of a scalpel. However, at this moment, the body she was using was only at the apprentice level in the etheric domain, and the connection with the astral world was also very weak and unstable, which limited the magic power she could output. Even if she used the Eye of God to dismantle it at full capacity, Sibyl could not do anything about the spell that was as solid as a rock for a while.
On the other side of the barrier, Bishop Sigmons of the Second Order had an expression of reverence that was almost devotion on his face. At a speed so slow that it was almost motionless, he used a strange-shaped prop with the holy emblem of the Mother of God in his hand to remove the small oak fruit from the half-withered and half-sprouting support.
The moment he took it off, the holy emblem of the Mother of God on the strange prop was imprinted on the acorn like a branding iron.
Something was changed at this moment.
At this moment, everyone present, except for "Fularo", felt a moist, soft, warm, dark sense of peace from the bottom of their hearts, just like the vague memories of the time before people were born that they felt at ease when they were unconscious.
With a mixture of joy and madness on his face, Sigmund looked as if he had exhausted all his willpower to prevent himself from roaring and jumping with excitement.
"In this way, the conditions we promised have been fulfilled."
Looking at Sigmund, who was trembling slightly all over, "Fularo" smiled and clapped softly.
"The prototype of Mother Earth, the dark side of 'Mother', will soon be incorporated into the system of the Second Holy Spirit. Congratulations, Sigmund Black Abyss, the ideal that the Return Sect has been pursuing for more than a thousand years has finally been successfully accomplished in your hands."
She looked at the mother's mark imprinted on the "Oak Heart" and continued.
Because William had previously rearranged the [Anti-Entropy] spell in accordance with Nehe's ideas, and did not change the effect at will. Therefore, taking advantage of the Second Cult's erosion of the symbols of the Holy Tree Mother's faith in recent years, Sigmund could rely on the church's holy relics and imitate the breath of the guardian of the "World Tree Core" to obtain the authority to temporarily shut down the protective barrier.
This was also the deal reached between Beatrice and the Second Order.
The Moon Realm's influence on Ravenwood deepens in exchange for the return of the archetype of the "Mother Earth Goddess".
Because the elders of Platinum City also intend to take this opportunity to weaken the Jade Province, which is an important base of the Queen's faction, and gain more say. Therefore, they also added excessive combat power, whether it is the lord of the Star Parliament or the secret weapon hidden in the Tower of Annihilation.
Of course, Beatrice never made it clear to what extent the so-called "deepening influence of the Moon Realm on Ravenwood" would deepen.
"Flaro" felt that if they knew, they would never make such a hasty decision.
According to the Whispering Queen's plan, soon, when Lady Hungry and Corrupted begins her rebirth ceremony, the "Heart of Oak" branded with the Holy Spirit "Mother" will be used to revive the World Tree, and the newly born Mother Earth will naturally be taken over by the Second Cult.
Beatrice always emphasizes honesty when doing business with mortals.
"But before that, we have another matter to take care of."
Sigmund, who felt that his "mother" was with him, turned around and looked at the three people on the other side of the barrier, and said with some ill intentions:
"She is a famous queen of the Shadow of Ava. It is said that she once defeated Emperor Terra under the cover of a storm. As a witness of the last glorious era, she is also the last remnant of the Judgment Seat. What kind of magical power does she have? I really want to see it now."
As the holder of the second holy scroll, Sigmund, after having made such great achievements, could almost be named a "living saint" by the church, thereby ignoring the path to heaven within the church and transcending the complicated system of ten levels.
And if he killed the continental lord right here and now, reducing the casualties in the subsequent wars, and thus practicing the loving virtues of "Mother", then when the church revised the scriptures a hundred years later, he could even be compiled into the canons of the Second Church as an apostle of the Holy Spirit.
After his death, he will not only be mourned as a "saint", but will be able to stand directly beside the Holy Spirit!
How could he give up this opportunity that could make him truly extraordinary?
"Untie the barrier, and I'll let you see enough."
As Remedios spoke, an arrow named “Sharp” appeared in her hand.
However, at this time, "Flaro" grabbed Sigmund who was really planning to break the barrier.
"Wait a moment."
She looked at Sibyl, whose eyes were filled with white nebulae, and said:
"If you don't want to face two members of the Tribunal at the same time, then wait a minute... She's almost unable to hold on."
Sigmund was confused by this sentence.
Where did the two members of the Tribunal come from? He knew Nezemar, who was holding a silver rapier. It couldn't be her. Could it be that the other party was referring to that little girl?
How is this possible?
But to Remedios, these words had a completely different meaning.
She rushed to Sibilla's side in one step.
“Is it time?”
At this moment, Sibyl, who had been clenching her teeth tightly, suddenly smiled with relief and replied:
"It's hard to predict what's going on. I originally thought I could..."
As she said this, she turned her head and looked at Remedios.
"By the way, remember to remind the Chief Judge to find the Blind Sisterhood and retrieve the things I left behind. Even for a magic caster of his level, that information should be of great help."
Having said this, Sibilla's expression turned slightly bitter.
"The premise is that if you can survive this crisis... I can only accompany you here."
Sibylla kept saying that she was running out of time, but she never explained why.
Remedios did not think much about it. After all, being able to cross a thousand years and travel through different timelines would require a considerable price to pay no matter how you think about it.
But the tone of Sibilla's voice at this moment made her feel a little uneasy.
"you……"
Remedios hesitated as to whether she should voice her guess.
"There's nothing to be sentimental about. To you, I've already died in the distant past, right?"
Sibyl said so.
"But I still feel a little disappointed that I was not able to meet the judge in the end. But the 'me' scattered among the other possibilities that were cut out may be able to fulfill this wish."
Remedios didn't know what to say.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Before she fell down, covering her eyes that were bleeding, Sibyl suddenly said:
"In fact, I deliberately made the dagger with the explosive rune... It's your fault for always acting like a senior."
After saying this, "Sibyl" fell to the ground, and then, almost in the next moment, Yin Liss woke up from a nightmare, screaming and regaining control of her body.
"Sister Nezemar, the whole of Ravenwood is about to..."
…………
Listening to the inexplicable conversations of these people in front of him and watching their inexplicable behavior, Sigmund was a little confused.
And this has led to a strong sense of vigilance.
If the enemy's words and actions are beyond your expectations, after ruling out the possibility that the other party is crazy, it is most likely caused by the inequality of information and cognition between the two parties.
If there is unequal information on the battlefield , you can never be too careful.
Otherwise you won’t even know how you died.
"Hey...can we remove the barrier now?"
Staring straight at Remedios, who posed the greatest threat to him on the field, Sigmund asked the woman behind him.
After all, the tunnel is the only exit, and the barrier has to be opened no matter what.
Defeating or even killing a member of the Tribunal will become the most dazzling jewel in his crown of glory in this life.
But Flora behind him did not respond to him.
Without looking away, he reached back and patted the other person on the shoulder and said:
"Answer me. If we want to leave here through the only exit, we must kill this member of the Tribunal. You can't..."
However, what Sigmund felt when he reached out his hand was not the texture of a dress, but some kind of thick and rough fabric - like some large pieces of scales.
Dragon scale shoulder armor?
Sigmund, feeling something was wrong, slowly turned his head, and found that Floro, who was originally behind him, had disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there was a gray-haired man holding a cheap iron sword in one hand and a heart-shaped iron stone in the other.
"Who did you just say you were going to kill?"
The man asked.
