Chapter 660

The pope's gaze swept across the crowd, his expression becoming more serious and cold.

There was only a quarter of an hour left before twelve noon.

He suddenly stomped his staff and raised it high, and green flames instantly shot up from the top of the staff!

People inside and outside the square subconsciously looked at the flame, and their already out-of-control emotions completely exploded. The hatred and anger towards the demon clan and the demon king deep in their hearts instantly rose.

In the Pope's field of vision, green flames appeared above everyone's head, burning like a torch.

At this time, even Dak, who was a screen away, couldn't help but be affected.

He suddenly moved his eyes away and used the "Pluto Technique" to focus his brain on one point and completely let it go.

The "Rage +1" indicator finally stopped.

"Are you okay?" Aurora and Pandora asked with concern.

Duck lowered his head and shook his head slowly: "It's okay, he was just stimulated by the "wrath of God" and was a little impulsive. What is the purpose of the pope using a magic wand to inspire people's anger?"

Seeing that he was indeed fine, Pandora frowned and said, "You're not trying to burn the Demon King's soul with the fire of your heart, right? If the Demon King's soul was burned so easily, it wouldn't have been delayed until now."

Hefeis said slowly: "In fact, once the devil's soul is damaged to a certain extent, it will trigger the passive reincarnation mechanism. If it is destroyed instantly, its soul will regenerate in a corner of the world.

And it is not as traceable as the Lich's phylactery, and even the best diviners cannot catch that trace. "

Pandora asked in confusion: "What exactly does the Holy Religion want to do?"

As a purebred white dragon, Hephis's eyesight was not bad.

After reading the entire ritual layout, she came to her own conclusion: "If my prediction is correct, they should want to summon the gate of the underworld and banish the devil's soul consciousness to the underworld."

"Exiled to the underworld? It sounds feasible." Pandora's eyes flickered and she turned to look like Dark, "What do you think."

Dark's complexion has returned to normal.

He glanced at the soaring "Rage" and said helplessly: "I'm not familiar with the underworld, but I heard that any life outside the underworld that enters it will have its spiritual consciousness gradually wiped out. Unless you cross the Wall of Sighs, you can't escape. Laws of the Underworld.”

Pandora asked doubtfully: "That means it's feasible?"

"No." Dak shook his head, "As you said, if this is all it takes, it won't be delayed until now. I prefer that after its soul consciousness is exiled, some hidden mechanisms will is triggered.

The underworld cuts off the connection between its soul consciousness and the real world. It is regarded as dead, and then new souls will regenerate somewhere in the world. "

Pandora said in surprise: "Then the Holy Cult is doing this in vain, isn't it?"

"Who knows." Dak said lightly, "Just watch the show."

After confirming that his emotions were no longer fluctuating, he looked at the projection again.

…

At this moment, a sudden change occurred among the crowd inside and outside the square.

It's not that the remnants of the demon clan couldn't help but take action, but that the people of the Holy Religion mixed in the crowd finally took action after accurately locking the target!

Erin's gaze turned instantly as the sudden change occurred.

All they saw was huge haloes blooming simultaneously among the crowd.

Those haloes are not lethal, they are only used to clear the area.

People around him were instantly pushed away.

The remnants of the demon clan disguised as humans were completely exposed.

Being in this special place, the remnants of the demon clan were on high alert and reacted the moment they noticed any changes.

But the "Suppression Curse" triggered almost at the same time interrupted their chanting instantly.

Although silent spellcasting is not a particularly difficult skill to master, the time required to change the spellcasting at this time is enough to put them in a dilemma.

Light-attribute magical elves exuding a sacred aura appeared one after another in the summoning array.

The remnants of the demon clan were subdued on the spot by the magic elves in an instant.

Even if some people resist fiercely, the people of the Holy Religion have already dispatched personnel with corresponding strength when they locked their position, which is enough to ensure that they can crush the remnants of the demon clan anywhere!

The whole process was frighteningly clean.

Before these demon clan remnants could even make waves, most of them were subdued by the Holy Cult.

The remnants of the demon clan who were still hiding among them, after seeing this scene, they forcibly calmed down and broke away from the tendency of "moths flying into the flame".

They quickly disguised themselves as panicked ordinary people, not daring to show any trace of their presence.

The Pope on the altar looked down at the bustling crowd and finally said: "Bring it up."

Upon hearing the order, the people of the Holy Religion immediately brought the remnants of the demon clan that had been subdued to the altar.

The Pope said slowly: "The embers of the demonic flames have been cleared, and the execution ceremony is about to begin. The era of the demons will be bounded by this, and it will come to an end - the eternal prosperity of mankind!"

He suddenly raised the "Wrath of God" high, and the green flames floating above the heads of countless people were instantly gathered together, condensing into an increasingly larger fireball at the tip of the "Wrath of God".

The fireball rose high, as if it was about to compete with the scorching sun.

The entire square was illuminated by green light.

The remnants of the demon clan were also detained.

They were forced to bend their knees and kneel at the feet of the Demon King who was bound to the silver cross.

The Holy Son, who was not strong-willed enough, couldn't help but glance at them.

A total of ninety-nine demon clan remnants gathered around the altar in circles.

Their arrival filled in the final piece of the puzzle of the ceremony.

The entire land within a ten-mile radius has undergone drastic changes due to the completion of the ceremony.

The light wall erected on the edge of Shili instantly solidified and turned into a physical wall that was inaccessible.

People's emotions have also become more easily aroused.

The Pope still held his staff high and spoke loudly.

His voice floated in the sky and reached everyone's ears very clearly.

People gradually forgot their fear, their grief and indignation, and their eyes were filled with worship of the "holy".

The Pope was immersed in the shouts of the people. When twelve o'clock at noon arrived, he shouted softly: "The time has come, light the fire!"

At that moment, the magic circle at the Demon King's feet erupted with extremely powerful light.

The sunlight in the entire ten-mile radius suddenly stopped and was actually condensed into a very small area where the altar was located.

The barrier instantly became pitch black, and the altar seemed to be the only stage. The sunlight gathered into a beam of light and shone down from the top of the Demon King's head.

The demon king's feet also erupted with extremely powerful flames.

The Demon King was bound to the cross and surrounded by flames.

A crowd of people gathered around, shouting wildly.

This scene is just like the original one - witch hunting!

…

"Compared to humans, demons are latecomers."

The pope's calm voice was in perfect contrast to the frenzy of the scene.

"Human civilization has existed tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, there were no demons in the world. Whether it was ferocious bloodthirsty demons or pretending to be elegant vampires, they were still gnawing in unknown corners. bark.

Until the appearance of the original witch, the sinner who danced with the devil. She stole human civilization, allowed the devil to smell the smell of flesh and blood, caused vampires to be born from corpses, and spread sin across the scorched earth. She is the source of all evil and the beginning of countless evils. But she was later burned to death by us! "

The green flames of "God's Wrath" turned red.

The pope shook his wand lightly, and a huge fireball shot into the sky. Suddenly a cloud of fire filled the air, surrounded the altar and covered the square.

"Now, we have defeated the demons and allowed sin to bury the scorched earth again, but it is not over yet. As long as the devil still exists, the demons will not die.

Our followers have no sleep every day, trying desperately to think of how to completely kill the immortal demon king.

Therefore, it took a full ten years, and finally the scholar Abel Yerkes created a method that could definitely kill it! "

"In the past, the original witch was burned to death by us."

"Today, the last demon king will be burned to death by us!"

The pope took a sudden step forward, and a divine and majestic aura burst out from his body, making him as big as a giant.

The crowd led by his words also started shouting violently after this moment.

"Burn him!"

…

The angry roar turned into furious waves.

The remnants of the demon clan hidden among them are fierce and sullen.

Those evil cults didn’t dare to speak out.

The ninety-nine demon clan remnants on the altar gritted their teeth and roared, but to no avail.

The prayers of the priests became louder and louder.

The flames under the Demon King's feet seemed to be affected by these countless beliefs, and suddenly jumped to a height of more than ten meters, completely surrounding the corpse.

People's mood is getting more and more exciting.

The Pope raised his head slightly and squinted at the sky.

The demon king's body was burned by the flames of this ritual, and scorch marks appeared.

His skin was set on fire and his bones began to feel hot.

The hair caught fire.

After burning for a quarter of an hour, the surface of his body was covered with flames, and a human-shaped black mist suddenly shot out from his head.

The appearance of the humanoid black mist made the people in the audience even more crazy.

The ninety-nine demon clan remnants on the altar struggled violently.

The other demons hidden in the crowd and the evil cult with the demons' faith as its core were finally unable to hold back.

But Chief Archbishop Caleb Norris suddenly pulled out a magic card from his left cuff, and the sacred flames burst out from the card, instantly turning into burning chains of light, and the humanoid The black mist binds tightly.

"ah--"

The black mist screamed horribly and struggled violently.

"Burn him!"

People's shouts became more and more crazy.

The flames invaded and burned.

The black mist is bathed in the scorching sun's beams of light, leaving nothing to hide.

It struggled, twisted, roared.

But the flames of the ceremony burned brighter and brighter.

…

Dak sat in the living room and looked at the projection on the wall, but he felt that the scene was extremely terrifying.

It was impossible to tell for a moment whether the burning corpse was evil or the person presiding over the ceremony and shouting "burn him to death" was evil?

I'm afraid people who calmly watched the "Witch Hunt" centuries ago would have felt the same way.

The history of the battle between demons and humans dates back to the distant past, and the real history has long been buried in the dust of time.

No one knows what the truth is.

The winner is writing the winner's epic.

The loser records the sophistry of the loser.

From the standpoint of today's people, we can only look at it from our own narrow perspective.

"What exactly is the black mist coming out of the Demon King's body?"

The disadvantages of not being there were revealed.

Dake couldn’t tell by perception, he could only ask.
