Chapter 1428 Some people are dead, but he is still alive
At this time, the exhausted Hilmeria's face was covered with glistening sweat, and the sweat beads slid down her smooth face and dripped on the ground.
Hilmeria turned her head, glanced at the person behind her, and then showed a warm smile.
That person was none other than her father, the former Pope His Majesty, Aleutilius, Saint Paul XIII.
The only person who can hold this ring is the Pope.
Seeing the light rising into the sky from the magic array, everyone ignored Hilmeria in the array and turned to look at the island in the distance.
The fierce battle on the horizon was shrouded in black rain and could no longer be seen clearly.
But in the next second, a huge holy light was seen vertically descending from the ceiling.
Like a god descending, it pierces directly into the dark clouds in the distance.
Like a knife sticking into tofu, the dark clouds hovering over the island were instantly pierced by the thick holy light and fell on the island. The dazzling light was like a white pillar of light supporting the sky and the earth.
On the small island where everyone was fighting fiercely, dozens of human and elven masters from the main city had been almost overwhelmed by dark creatures. Their battle group had been reduced to its limit, and the ascetic monks were struggling to support themselves by relying on the Holy Light Shield.
Dark creatures continue to be annihilated by powerful spells and holy light, but every time they disappear, more are replaced.
The high priest had enough time to summon a dense crowd of dark creatures to surround him, waiting to join the battle at any time.
Maybe in the next second, the human formation will collapse.
Seeing that he was about to win, the high priest couldn't help but reveal a smile. This was the most embarrassing situation he had faced in thousands of years. For a while, the high priest was not sure whether he could win.
Although he was seriously injured, this was also his most glorious victory, including almost all human magisters, dozens of ascetics and red archbishops, as well as the most powerful rangers and magic archers of the elves, as well as the most outstanding human beings.
Warrior.
Each of these people is a well-known big shot in the human world. All of them will soon become his achievements.
The high priest has even thought about turning them all into dark creatures, and then sending them all to cause trouble on the human continent.
This would be a fatal blow to human morale.
But then there was a sudden movement in his heart, and he hurriedly reached out to raise the staff, using all his strength to desperately hold up a defensive barrier.
At this time, holy light fell from the sky.
It hit the barrier surrounding the high priest heavily. The milky white light and the black ball of light collided, and a burst of dazzling light suddenly erupted. The light and darkness clashed fiercely, emitting a burst of sound similar to the sound of gold and iron.
Voice.
Even a person as powerful as the high priest did not expect that the other party could actually use such powerful holy light.
"Such a powerful force is definitely not something that humans can achieve. Is it really a miracle?" He hadn't had time to think about it seriously.
And in the next moment, a more powerful holy light fell, covering everyone in it, and the light illuminated the entire island.
Under the dazzling light, all the ghosts were purified in an instant, without even a single scream. They all disappeared without a trace.
Immediately, the Dark Knights also began to crack, and bits and pieces of black particles fell off from their bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye. They poured downward like quicksand and then disappeared into the air.
The banshees let out piercing screams like crows. First, their wings melted quickly, and then their entire bodies turned into a ball of liquid. Before they could drip to the ground, they evaporated into mist in the holy light.
However, the High Priest of the Undead remained motionless in the holy light, leaving only his beard and hair swaying slightly.
He looked at everyone with a sneer, and his deep voice penetrated the holy light and passed clearly into human ears, saying: "You despicable humans, do you think you can eliminate me like this? It's so ridiculous, hahahaha...
"
Following his words, cracks as thin as spider webs appeared on the face of the high priest. The cracks were like fragments of porcelain, but they were quickly repaired by his power, and then the cracks reappeared and disappeared quickly. That situation
Extremely weird.
At the same time, the red-clothed people in Obachum snorted coldly, gathered the holy light together and began to counterattack, blasting them towards the chest of the high priest.
The magicians in Lester also gathered lightning and shot it towards the high priest. The lightnings gathered together during the flight and turned into a lightning as thick as a water tank. It flew towards the chest of the high priest.
And a group of demon archers also used all their strength to shoot the arrows in their hands at the high priest.
The champion knights roared angrily and threw their swords towards the high priest.
Everyone knows that this is the moment that finally determines victory or defeat, and they use their final strength without reservation.
At this moment, time seemed to suddenly slow down.
Vaguely, everyone seemed to see lightning, holy light, and those arrows, and the sword seemed to be frozen in the air, slowly flying towards the high priest.
In the next moment, the holy light and lightning struck the high priest's chest at the same time. Immediately afterwards, arrows and swords flew and pierced the high priest's body heavily.
The sharp object penetrated into the human body, making a dull sound like it was piercing into leather.
The high priest's body shook continuously, and his stiff body took several steps back before he stabilized his body.
He looked down at the sword on his body, with a strange and confused look in his eyes. Then he suddenly raised his head, looked at everyone, and sneered: "You despicable humans, do you think you can eliminate me like this? It's really ridiculous.
Yeah, hahahaha..."
Although it was exactly the same as the previous sentence, his voice changed from old to sharp at first, then from sharp to hoarse, and then from hoarse to a strange roar like a primitive monster.
The sound seemed to come from all directions, echoing in everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, his body began to tremble non-stop, and his limbs began to expand and contract irregularly. They bulged up for a while, and then deflated instantly.
It was like there were balloons flying around inside his body.
Seeing the strange behavior of the high priest, Lester was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and seemed to have thought of something. Then he became frightened and shouted in panic: "Run away, he has lost control, the magic elements in his body are
Chaos, it’s about to explode~!”
Then he turned around and ran away.
Others did not dare to neglect. They grabbed the injured on the ground, supported each other, and ran back.
In the distance, there is a magic teleportation array waiting for them. As long as they run there, they can teleport to a safe place instantly.
They rolled and crawled forward, and the strong wind behind them became stronger and stronger, even creating a suction force that tried to pull them back.
Everyone tried their best to enter the teleportation array. When they finally looked back, they saw a whirlwind forming on the ground surrounding the high priest at the center of the holy light. The earth, rocks, and trees were spinning in the strong wind, and were swept towards the high priest.
Immediately, a dazzling light rushed up like a tide.
In the next second, everyone stumbled out of another teleportation array.
The sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is blowing here, which is a completely different world from the roaring evil spirits and gusty winds just now.
They all fell to the ground in a mess, gasping for air. They were in a miserable state.
Since this is their special pick-up point, go ahead. These gentlemen did not get anxious and suddenly arrived at a safe place. Fatigue came over them. Everyone was so tired that they seemed to have lost half of their strength. They didn't even want to lift their hands. They were waiting to guard here.
The guards came over and helped them up.
But what surprised everyone was that they waited for a few seconds, but none of the well-trained guards came.
Everyone in Lester couldn't help but turn around and take a look, only to see the guards standing there one by one, staring blankly into the distance.
Everyone also followed the guards' gazes and turned to look into the distance. Then they all climbed up from the ground and looked at the small island in the distance.
Above the island where they had just fought fiercely, a white holy light was seen shooting down from the sky. Under the violent impact of the magic elements, the holy light tore a circular hole in the dark cloud-covered sky.
Those clouds seemed to be dripping with hot water on the snow. With the holy light as the center, they melted quickly, revealing the blue sky above the dark clouds.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed.
Immediately afterwards, a dull loud noise was heard.
Then, a ripple visible to the naked eye appeared in the air, and it spread rapidly at an extremely fast speed.
Everyone just caught it with their naked eyes, and in the next second, it was already above their heads.
Suddenly there was a strong wind, flying sand and rocks.
The violent wind uprooted the surrounding trees and threw them into the air like toys.
Everyone in Lester was unprepared, and they were all blown to the point of losing their balance, and fell to the ground one after another. Some people were even blown several steps away.
After a while, the strong wind finally stopped, and everyone got up from the ground in disgrace, and then saw a scene that stunned them.
I saw a huge, mushroom-shaped black cloud rising slowly in the direction of the small island.
It keeps rolling and rising, and slowly twists and deforms under the blowing of the sea breeze.
Everyone suddenly discovered that a huge black eye appeared in the center of the mushroom cloud.
At first, everyone thought it was just some kind of coincidence, but the eye became more and more realistic, like the legendary eye of the devil, looking at everyone coldly.
When people look at it, they can't help but feel chilled in their hearts.
After a while, as the mushroom cloud continued to roll, the eyes were submerged in the black cloud again and disappeared.
In the end, the mushroom cloud was hundreds of meters high and hung in the sky for a long time.
It was only then that everyone gradually came to their senses.
They looked at each other's embarrassed expressions and suddenly realized that they had just killed...killed the high priest??~!!!!
At this moment, they were not cheering, jumping for joy, or shouting loudly.
One by one, they stood on high places, looking at the mushroom clouds in the distance, filled with emotion and lamentation.
Lester, Wabador, and Obachm each held a cigar in their mouths, standing side by side on a high place, quietly looking at the mushroom cloud in the distance, letting the sea breeze blow their robes.
History is always surprisingly similar.
Thousands of years ago, the three deans of Maple Leaf Danlin fought bloody battles on the simple city top of Maple Leaf Danlin without retreating. Finally, human reinforcements arrived and drove back the undead coalition.
And now, the same three deans of Maple Leaf Danlin have successfully ambushed the High Priest of the Undead and killed him.
The rest of the people did not dare to disturb him at this time, but they patted each other on the shoulders and celebrated each other with joy on their faces.
Lester looked at the sky silently, and while sighing for victory, he suddenly felt a sense of loss.
Human history has turned another page.
That powerful, arrogant, most powerful person under the starry sky was wiped out like this? The shadow that had been hanging over the human world for two thousand years disappeared like this?
At this time, he couldn't help but feel awe: no matter how powerful he was, he still couldn't escape the mercy of fate.
Only at this time did he truly realize the true meaning of "the wheels of history are rolling forward".
Suddenly, a seagull flapped its wings and screamed happily as it flew past them.
The three Lesters looked at each other and smiled.
Wabador turned around and shouted loudly: "Young men, bring the best wine, we will have a good celebration."
His words immediately caused everyone present to cheer.
Immediately afterwards, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and the champagne that had been prepared long ago was opened one after another.
The foaming wine was flowing everywhere.
People held wine bottles, either raising them to take a swig, or holding down the mouth of the bottle and shaking it, spreading the wine everywhere.
At this time, someone in the crowd whispered: "By the way. What happened to the eyes in the mushroom cloud? Why did I feel that there was something evil about that thing?"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly condensed.
Everyone present also had doubts about that eye. But they had just killed the high priest, and everyone was celebrating, and no one was disappointed.
But now, someone has pointed it out, and everyone can no longer turn a blind eye to it like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Lorraine sat in her tent, listened carefully to Lester's story, and then asked with concern: "How is Hilmeria? Is she injured? Is it serious?"
Lester couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and glanced at him angrily: This bastard is really a bastard. Everyone worked hard to kill the undead high priest, and there were countless urgent matters that needed to be dealt with. But he only cared about it.
His mistress.
He said patiently: "She is very good. In order to avoid being discovered by the high priest, the Vatican Lion was on another island dozens of kilometers away.
She was just a little helpless. Now she has returned to Vatican."
Lorraine just said "Oh", and then sat in a chair in silence, seriously considering how to skip work and see her girlfriend.
Lester gave him a strange look and said, "Don't you want to ask something else?"
Lorraine was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the prince only cared about his girlfriend. As for the others, he loved her to death.
But looking at the look of fire in Lester's eyes, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay. Didn't you just say that the high priest is dead? Then you said that he is still alive, so what?
What's going on?"
Lester glanced at him approvingly, then coughed slightly, and then said: "The thing is like this. We studied a lot of reference materials.
Then we searched for various clues, and then carefully analyzed various clues. Finally, we unanimously concluded that what we killed was only the clone of the high priest.
His true identity must be hidden somewhere?"
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated, looked at Lester and said: "Master, are you kidding me? A person as awesome as the high priest is just a clone? He died as if a nuclear bomb exploded.
If this is really the case, wouldn't his real body be even more awesome? Once the real body comes, if you use it casually, won't everyone be pissed off?
How can we still use Semitic and Lich weapons? It’s so hard to fight against us.”
Lester shook his head, and then said: "In fact, according to our inference, the High Priest of the Undead was already the strongest person under the starry sky a thousand years ago. So after a thousand years, his strength should be even stronger. But
Judging from the actual situation, there is not much progress.
Therefore, we consider that it is possible that his real body encountered some difficulties during practice, was trapped, or suffered severe injuries. He can only rely on his clone to move around."
He paused, and then said seriously: "We believe that he was seriously injured thousands of years ago. That's why he started the war to cover up the fact that he was injured.
As a necromancer, actually..."
He hesitated for a moment, looked at Lorraine and said: "I only say this here, I won't admit it when I go out."
Lorraine was stunned and couldn't help but become serious.
Lester shook out a bomb and said: "After our research, we found that in fact, at the beginning, the necromancers were not evil people. In fact, they were believers of the goddess of life."
Lorraine looked at Lester blankly and said, "Don't you...have a fever?"
As he spoke, he reached out with concern, wanting to test the temperature of his forehead.
Lester snorted coldly, slapped his hand away, and said: "I'm fine. Please listen to me carefully.
Necromancers are just a branch of magicians. Their research direction is to pursue immortality. From this perspective, they are actually believers of the goddess of life.
But later, they went awry.
Because all life in the world is limited. So for their own eternal life, they began to take the lives of other people by any means.
Gradually, because of their perverted methods, horrifying images, and no scruples, they took human lives wantonly and dedicated other lives to Hades in exchange for their own survival, so people began to think that they were followers of Hades.
.”
Lorraine listened to his explanation and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. This was like talking about the laws of physics. Although it seemed a bit incredible, one had to admit that it was a correct explanation.
Lorraine pondered for a moment and said: "In your opinion, how much strength does that clone have of the real body?"
Lester thought for a while and said: "Two to 30%, at most 30%, no more."
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh and said: "This also means that we must launch an expedition as soon as possible, otherwise as soon as he comes back and sends a clone out, everything you have done will be meaningless."
