Looking at the blazing flames in front of them, the believers in the square fell silent for a short while.
What followed was an even greater madness.
No one could imagine what kind of scene this was. If the soldiers on the battlefield were fighting desperately to kill the enemies in front of them, then the believers were using their own bodies to wear down the soldiers' blades. They used their hands to block the blades and used their joints to hit any part that could be hit. They were like crazy beasts that even used their teeth to bite the fallen soldiers!
It was a complete mess!
Although more than a thousand soldiers were mentally prepared, they still felt a sense of fear in their hearts when they saw the believers who were exuding a crazy aura. Although they knew that they were unarmed, they still felt a sense of fear … They were not human!
They were all lunatics!
That was the only feeling they had. This kind of hysterical and desperate attack quickly caused the soldiers to be overwhelmed by the sea of people. This was not a war, this was a battle to protect the faith!
Even without mentioning the six elders, just the fact that the black-robed count had personally issued a notice to acknowledge the 'apostle' who had released a miracle was enough to make the most devout believers offer up their own blood!
It was an unimaginable fanaticism. The shouts had already broken the eardrums. The soldiers' defensive line had been squeezed out of shape. The believers had tightly surrounded the soldiers next to the stake …
The apostle was dead?
This question hung above everyone's head. They looked at the fire that had been burning for more than ten seconds, hoping for a miracle.
But it burned quietly, as if the Demon God Garen's divine light did not protect the apostle.
Just when the believers were hesitating because of this scene, a huge light suddenly lit up outside the city wall in the distance!
The sky suddenly turned as bright as day, followed by huge green meteorites falling from the sky, continuously smashing outside the city wall in the distance.
It was the enemy!?
Twin Peaks, who was fighting fiercely, did not expect that in just a few days, the enemy had already reached the city gate?!
What about the soldiers who had gone to stop them?
Could it be that they were all wiped out?
Before they could figure out the answer to this question, the ground suddenly shook violently, followed by the rumbling of buildings collapsing. This earthquake caused everyone in the square to fall to the ground, and the battle also came to a momentary halt!
"This is divine punishment!"
"Why are you all executing the apostles?!"
"Blasphemy!
You bunch of bandits! "
…
The believers cursed at the bandit-like soldiers. They seized control of Satsuma without any warning and executed the famous apostle and bishop overnight. From the beginning to the end, it seemed like a robbery by a foreign race and not the reinforcements from the same country!
All the blame was pushed onto the soldiers instinctively, and the believers became even crazier because of this!
Phew.
Suddenly, the fire in the square disappeared.
Without any warning.
The two combatants had originally taken advantage of the light from the huge cross to get a clear look at each other. However, when the light suddenly disappeared, everyone froze on the spot and looked at the cross that was supposed to continue burning …
Many figures disappeared, while the remaining six elders looked up at the starry sky above them unscathed. Even their clothes did not show any signs of being burnt.
"A miracle!"
It was unknown who shouted it, but what followed was a wave of worship and cheers!
Tens of thousands of people did not care about the corpses on the ground. Faced with the unimaginable scene in front of them, they could not use anything else to explain it!
The soldiers were stunned by the scene in front of them. When they once again faced this group of believers who seemed to be on stimulants, they did not resist for long before their line of defense was completely broken!
However, when these people arrived before the cross, what they saw was only the half burned firewood, as well as the six elders whose appearances were still the same. Meanwhile, that young apostle had long disappeared.
* * *
Many looked at the sky above them, a little stunned.
The cross was still under his feet, but his arms were not bound. He stood on the top of the cross like an eagle overlooking the common people.
But there was nothing around him, only a boundless abyss.
"For God, the power of the believers should be the power of God. Then what am I?"
He lowered his head to look at his hands. The feeling of being filled with power made his body incomparably strong. However, he felt that a dusty memory in his mind had been awakened by the scene of the believers crashing into the human wall.
"God?"
Many looked up, and a long dragon's roar suddenly came from afar. Then, Many felt an aura that made him tremble from the bottom of his heart suddenly enveloped him!
In the sky, a huge figure flew horizontally, bringing with it a hurricane that blew the entire ground into a swirl of dust!
This is …
Many squinted his eyes. He recognized that this giant dragon was the one he saw in the sky of the Western Continent!
The one … the former leader of the Black Dragon tribe that even Nairíos respected!
The cross stood firmly beneath his feet, and the surrounding wind blew past his body without a trace of disorder. Many people looked up at the gigantic figure flying over their heads, and for the first time, they felt that the strength in their bodies was enough to challenge those fellows that they couldn't even look at directly in the eyes before!
It was not a sudden burst of confidence, but an open-minded feeling of seeing through everything and even knowing everything. It was like a sudden enlightenment of an old monk who was meditating on Zen. Looking at the believers who were charging forward for their faith, many of them had a deep thought about their own hearts for the first time.
What were they protecting?
What was their faith?
The black dragon flew in a straight line in the sky. Its red body was as conspicuous and eye-catching as a red-hot iron. However, that terrifying might stopped in front of many people.
Everything seemed to come to a standstill. Many people looked at the sky quietly, as if something had shattered along with it.
"Finally, this day has come."
Nairíos's voice resounded in Many's mind once again, and appeared in front of Many like an echo.
It was still the same figure with his hands behind his back, but Nairíos's reappearance gave Many a different feeling. It was as if he was looking at himself.
"I've said it before. When you reach this step, I will no longer be able to control your body."
Nairíos looked at the figure that was already far away in the sky with a complicated gaze.
"The last door?"
Many's mind was clear. He felt that this was the first time his body felt so carefree and filled with unlimited power. At the same time, his heart was devoid of any other emotions.
"The last door."
Nairíos nodded. His body stopped in the air, and he looked at the faintly discernible believers behind him. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. A faint layer of fog shrouded the area. The battle between the soldiers and believers outside looked like a frozen photo, motionless.
"On this stage, I will stand until the end."
Many did not look for Nairíos to ask for his opinion again, and took a step straight into the void.
His body hovered in the air, and he looked at the believers who seemed to be madly attacking the soldiers in the distance. Although he knew that he was not Garen's believer, and that this group of people was only here for his name, he still felt a little different from before.
The attention of the people?
Unlike the Grand Arena in Sauron City, what Many felt at this moment was a pure power … the power of faith, the power of will — in other words, the power of rules.
Something seemed to explode in the air.
At this moment, the empty city square seemed to have witnessed a scene that could only be seen at the end of the world.
There was no dazzling light, and there was no terrifying pressure. When many figures suddenly stepped out of the void, everyone's brain was affected by a powerful spiritual shock. For a moment, the entire square was as quiet as a graveyard!
The people who were running, attacking, and even jumping in the air suddenly found that they could not make any sound when they opened their mouths, and even their ears went deaf for a moment. The people who were still moving around suddenly stopped moving like a movie without a soundtrack. Even the opposing soldiers and believers looked at each other in confusion, letting the blood flow from their wounds.
