Chapter 55 Betrayal
Seeing this, Su Li had no choice but to let Martin and the other three knights follow him, and the rest were temporarily led by Murphy to feint the altar.
Before leaving, Su Li went to visit Bill and the others who were still unconscious. Seeing that they were still the same, Su Li sighed. If he could not succeed in this trip, the ending might be worse than Bill and the others.
"Sir, what should those surviving residents do?" asked a knight.
"Let them die by themselves. If they are lucky enough, they may have a chance to return to the real world." Su Li ordered.
Murphy led a large group of knights in an orderly manner and drove towards the central square in a mighty manner, while Su Li led Martin and four knights to detour from another path to the church and wait for the opportunity.
Under the leadership of Murphy, the Holy Legion knights soon arrived at the central square and did not encounter such obstacles as ghosts hitting the wall along the way. However, when they saw the scene of the central square from afar, they couldn't help but be stunned, because there was no corpse altar described by Su Li in the square, and only a huge fountain spraying pool water.
"Did Lord Saint misread it?" The knights slowed down and began to whisper.
"Sir Saints are not wrong. This is an illusory world. Maybe we are just blinded by the demons... Everyone uses purifying magic to the center of the square!" Murphy made a quick decision and gave the order.
Standing in front of the fountain, Murphy took the lead in chanting a magic spell, and then the voices of other knights gradually sounded, and finally gathered into a torrent to surge straight into the sky.
"Purification..." Nearly a hundred knights raised their swords at the same time and shouted. A huge light wheel suddenly appeared above the fountain, emitting dazzling holy light, just like a sun that instantly illuminated the entire central square.
A miracle happened. The fountain rippled like water waves under the illumination of the holy light. After a rippling, a terrifying and gloomy corpse altar appeared in front of the knights. Thick blood continued to flow down the altar, soaking the leather boots worn by the knights... At the same time, the eyes of the corpses who formed the altar suddenly opened, and they turned their heads to stare at the knights of the Holy Legion.
Seeing this, the knights were not afraid, but instead chanted louder. The light wheels above the altar of the corpse became brighter and gushed of smoke began to rise from some corpses.
The altar of the corpse began to shake violently as the knights chanted, as if something was about to be nurtured.
"Enough. You believers of the God of Light, let me see how you deal with your former comrades!" With the sound inside the altar, the amplitude of the altar shaking became even more powerful, and a translucent shadow emerged from the platform on the top of the altar.
"It's Bill... it's Bill's soul, how could he be with the demon in the altar..." A series of exclamations sounded among the knights, and the chanting of the knights' purifying magic began to become a little messy.
Souls kept popping up in the altar, and every soul appeared, which caused the knights to shout: "It's Wuli... and Mubao... Serwan's soul also appeared... Oh my God, it turns out that their souls were all taken away by the demon!"
The names the knights shouted were exactly the names of the knights who had lost their consciousness brought back from the central square some time ago.
The soul of the knight was still emerging from the altar. At the end, a dark soul holding the knight's sword appeared in front of the knights.
"It's Herman, why did his soul turn black? Has he betrayed the God of Light?" The knights' doubts kept ringing, and at this time they were completely unwilling to continue singing the magic of the Holy Light.
Another huge black shadow appeared behind Herman. As soon as the black shadow appeared, the huge light wheel in the air became much darker, and the central square became gray again.
"Didn't you see that the souls of several of us have risen to heaven as the teachings of God of Light say? The light of God of Light cannot illuminate every corner of the world. We were deceived by him..." Herman's soul said angrily.
"Shameless, you are a member of the Holy Legion of the Temple of Light. You have taken it as your mission to defend the glory of the God of Light. How can you defect to the God of Light's mortal enemy - to become a demon!" Murphy had already cursed at Herman's soul.
"The devil is best at confusing people's hearts...Herman, don't be blinded by him, it's still time to turn back!" Dozens of other knights also accused or persuaded Herman's soul.
"I have known the truth about the Battle of Heaven and will no longer believe in the God of Light... Since Angel Lucifer was able to leave heaven and voluntarily enter hell and become a fallen angel, then I will follow in his footsteps and voluntarily enter hell and become a loyal servant of the Demon King Abra..." Herman announced proudly.
"Herman, let me see your strength. My devil Abra is not a waste!" The huge black shadow standing behind Herman's soul smiled wildly and waved his hand. Black fog surged around the central square, swallowing the light wheel suspended above the central square in an instant.
"Fusion!" When Herman's soul spoke the word, the souls of the other knights surrounding him were attracted to him, overlapping with Herman's soul and becoming part of his soul.
Herman's soul power suddenly rose, and black sparks continued to burst out from his eyes...
"Awakening, comrades, only hell is our final destination. Let me send you on your way now!" Herman's soul roared, raised the sword in his hand high, and then suddenly slashed down the bottom of the altar.
A long string of black lightning suddenly appeared from the sword of Herman's soul, attacking the knights of the Holy Legion under the altar at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah!" The knights of the Holy Legion did not expect that Herman's soul would really attack them. They caught off guard and the knights standing in the front row were hit by black lightning. The black lightning drilled into their bodies. The bodies of these knights quickly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few seconds, they turned into a shriveled corpse. After falling to the ground with a gurgle, there was no breath. Their souls also floated out of their bodies and fused into Herman's soul along the way of the black lightning, making Herman's soul power stronger and stronger.
