Chapter 464: The End

Flagship, on deck.

The crowd shuttled quickly, but in an orderly manner, and the shells were loaded one after another.

Standing at the bow of the ship, General Barry in a black military uniform had long since lost the seriousness and stubbornness unique to soldiers on his young face.

Eyes like falcons scanned the island in front of them.

The place he has been looking for for twenty years: the island of the sanctuary!

A place that hides secrets that can subvert the entire world.

And today...

He wants to make this secret come to light again!

"Fire!"

Barry said in a low voice.

The herald beside him who had been preparing for a long time suddenly raised the red flag in his hand.

Immediately, hundreds of naval guns fired in salvo.

Boom boom boom!

The islands in the distance were immediately covered by artillery fire.

Intense fire.

Thick black smoke.

Completely covered the entire island.

...

After traveling about 3 kilometers, Qin Ran and Shi Qi came to a wooden door after experiencing flaps, traps, poisonous gas, and crossbow arrows along the way.

The end points of the three passages are all here.

Shi Qi looked at the wooden door that was complete and complete, with the edge wrapped in iron sheet and only one handle, with a hint of hesitation in his expression.

Because, he thought of what Qin Ran said earlier.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, Shi Qi understood from the bottom of his heart that under the current situation, that was the most likely thing to happen.

Subconsciously, Shi Qi looked at Qin Ran.

"We've come here, we have no way out!"

Qin Ran pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

"But……"

"I'd rather give it a try than stay here and be imprisoned by Smoot—even if you, Shi Qi, are willing to accompany me as a prison friend."

"Now as we planned before!"

Qin Ran interrupted Shi Qi's words and pointed to the door.

Shi Qi sighed, expressing his understanding of retreating.

After retreating about 10 meters, Shi Qi raised his hand to signal.

Qin Ran nodded and walked towards the door.

However, Kieran didn't open the door straight away. Considering the existence of the "Holy Temple Power", he stood on the side of the door hinge and stretched out his hand to pull the door handle.

After a creak, the door completely blocked Qin Ran.

A faint light shone in from behind the door.

The power of the temple!

No need for more observation, several times of deep-memory contact, even if there is no scorching pain at this time, Kieran can still see it at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ran pushed the door hard,

boom!

After a muffled sound, the door was completely closed.

"How about it?"

Qin Ran asked Shi Qi.

This is what the two have discussed long ago.

Because of the 'power of the temple', Kieran's actions were greatly restricted, so Shi Qi was needed to act as his 'eyes'.

Facing Qin Ran's question, Shi Qi was a little dazed.

After 3 or 4 seconds, Shi Qi showed a wry smile.

"Just as you expected - the room behind this door has a direct exit to the outside, but a diamond exuding the 'power of the temple' is placed in the very center of the room!"

"That gem is very dazzling. There is only a very faint light on the edge of the room, but the light in the center of the room is hard to see directly!"

While speaking, the wry smile on Shi Qi's face became more intense.

Shi Qi saw the damage these lights did to Qin Ran.

The pain that was lighter before is already unbearable.

If it was at the level in the middle of the room, it would probably kill Qin Ran directly.

Thinking of this, Shi Qi persuaded directly.

"Let's go another way!"

"There must be another way out!"

Qin Ran shook his head calmly.

"Other than that? Is there anything else worth noting in the room?"

Kieran didn't care about the things that had been expected.

It will not change the original plan because of this.

On the way forward, Kieran had already figured it out very clearly that Smoot was indeed powerful, but it was absolutely impossible to store the 'power of the sanctuary' in the wall, so he must have borrowed some props.

With such an ancient organization as the 'Holy Church', it is not surprising for Kieran to have such props.

Similarly, no matter whether such props are stored or used, there must be 'protective measures'.

These 'protective measures' are what Kieran is worried about.

After all, under the 'power of the temple', his strength is less than one in ten, and he can only rely on Shi Qi for help.

With Shi Qi's strength...

Obviously, stronger enemies cannot be dealt with.

As for the props that can emit the 'power of the temple'?

After destroying the 'protective measures', the rest is very simple.

Qin Ran has at least five ways to get such props.

"I can't see clearly, it's too dazzling."

Shi Qi said with some embarrassment.

Qin Ran frowned.

Not to blame Shi Qi.

Knowing that Shi Qi is just an ordinary person, Qin Ran will never be dissatisfied with Shi Qi because of such a thing, but if they don't understand the 'protective measures', it will be very unfavorable for their next actions.

Therefore, Kieran chose a backup plan.

"You come to open the door!"

"Don't worry, I'll retreat far enough—if we don't know what's inside, we'll really be trapped here!"

Qin Ran said so.

"At least 30 meters!"

Shi Qi thought about the scope of the 'power of the temple' before, and gave a roughly safe range.

Qin Ran walked towards the passage without saying a word, and when he stood still again, he gestured an OK sign to Shi Qi with his right hand.

Immediately, the door was opened again.

The light belonging to the 'power of the temple' shone in again.

But this kind of illumination, just as Shi Qi estimated, began to become dim after reaching about 10 meters, and there was no light at all after 30 meters.

This allowed Kieran to easily see everything in the room.

The room looked small, but because of the angle, Qin Ran could only see a general view.

A round diamond the size of the first knuckle of an adult male's thumb was placed in the center of the room supported by a delicate metal stand full of arcane characters.

The metal brackets are welded to the floor of the room.

The floor of the room, and some of the walls that Kieran could see, were also filled with mysterious words.

On the wall opposite to the passage wooden door, there is a chiseled exit, revealing the night sky.

Same as Shiki.

Kieran also couldn't see the 'protective measures'.

But this doesn't mean that Qin Ran will give up. After making another move towards Squibby, the [Python-W2] revolver appeared in his hand. He pointed it at the floor of the room, and Qin Ran pulled the trigger.

boom!

The muzzle flashed and the bullets shot out.

Then……

Clang!

A broad-bladed long sword flashed in the room, and the bullets hit the blade, sparks scattered everywhere.

Then, a two-meter-tall figure wearing metal armor appeared in Kieran's field of vision, and rushed towards Kieran without hesitation.

hum!

The 'Power of the Temple' shone endlessly on the opponent's armor.

At the same time, on the wall in the passage, the 'power of the temple' loomed again.

PS first update~

Woke up late...sorry!
