Chapter 224 114: Bloody Gate

The Patriarch was confused. What the hell is this? Why are they suddenly digging up my holy pond?
"Is there any misunderstanding here? This pool has not been moved for hundreds of years. It couldn't have been buried hundreds of years ago, right?" the Patriarch said anxiously.

Jennifer looked at the hesitant Ye Jie, coughed twice and reminded him: "Ye Jie, you can try to pray and borrow the power to manipulate the land."

Ye Jie came to his senses and nodded: "I didn't expect it, Mr. Vicky, I'll go down and take a look first."

"Go ahead." Vic didn't care. If it was Jennifer, he would have to think about it, but Ye Jie was his own person, and the only extraordinary one at the moment, so there was no need for him to be stingy in this regard.

Ye Jie prayed softly, and in just a breath, she gained a little power to control the earth and slowly dived into the ground.

Upon seeing this, some clergymen hurriedly prayed and praised the Holy Trinity.

The Patriarch watched eagerly, full of envy for this extraordinary ability. How come the other party's prayers were so effective, while his own prayers were not even heard as hallucinations?

A few minutes later, Ye Jie stuck his head out and slowly rose from the ground, holding a few gold coins in his hand.

"I found a box about six meters below that place, but the box has decayed and is difficult to move out. These are a few of the gold coins inside."

Ye Jie gave the gold coins to the Patriarch. She had no interest in these mundane treasures.

The Patriarch's eyes lit up, and he looked carefully at the gold coins in his hand.

Jennifer didn't ask Ye Jie whether he had found the family sacred object. The obvious frustration on her face already explained the situation.

Moreover, it would only take a dozen seconds to search such a small area, but it took her several minutes, and she probably searched the entire nearby area.

“Perhaps, the holy object is just waiting for a moment.”

Vicchi changed the subject and motioned for the Patriarch to continue to briefly introduce some other things.

No one had any interest in the following explanation, so it ended hastily. When they returned to the Kremlin office, Vichi told them that the devil might have a collaborator.

However, they had no impression of the Soul Gathering or the Divine Grace Warlocks.

Their understanding of the supernatural world depends entirely on Shiraishi Hang's nonsense, and they know very little about existence other than demons and paladins.

"Since Mr. President believes that the demons may attack the northern part of the city next, we should investigate further to see if we can find out the existence of the demon lord and try to break his formation. Otherwise, even if there is no so-called formation, it will never end."

Jennifer suggested that even if the Demon Lord was good at hiding, there would always be something left behind in the places he set up.

Ye Jie nodded in agreement. Rather than passively defending herself, she would rather take the initiative to solve the problem.

"Thank you for your full help. I hope that this city and this country will not suffer unnecessary disasters." Vicchi showed a hint of fatigue and a deep-seated worry.

Who picked up this unfortunate thing in the first place? The whole research station should be closed down. This is really a living ancestor.

At this time, Ivan, the living ancestor of the devil mentioned by Vichi, appeared in the downtown area in a grand manner. He ordered two cups of coffee, picked up a cup in each hand, and put them into two mouths to taste.

"I should have been born in this world, but for some unknown reason, I was forced to fall asleep. Now, I have finally woken up again and returned to the earth." The woman said with a nostalgic look.

"I didn't expect that something more solid than time is the sins of mankind. If it weren't for this rich food, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wake up."

Ivan remained silent, staring at the man sitting opposite him reading a newspaper.

"If you had existed in the past, who could stand against you? A legendary hero or an angel saint?" Augustus put down the newspaper, his eyes moving between the two heads, with a look of curiosity and inquiry flashing across his eyes from time to time. He seemed to be very interested in the workings of these two heads.

"Him" subconsciously looked up at the sky, then quickly lowered her head and changed the subject, "You are the most daring human I have ever seen. Do you want to study me too?"

"There are many curious humans like me."

"No, they acted out of ignorance, so they appear foolish. You knew the consequences but still acted. It seems like you are asking for too much." The head girl laughed, "But it doesn't matter. Demons like to cooperate with humans, especially self-righteous humans."

"It's just that we each get what we need. Helping you get what I want is enough."

Augustus ignored the other party's verbal probing, put away the newspaper, and stood up: "Everything will proceed as we agreed. This is a great opportunity for you to defeat the two paladins."

Ivan watched him disappear into the street, lost in thought.

The next second, he turned into a ball of black and red mist and disappeared on the spot. No one noticed anything unusual.

Augustus walked on the increasingly desolate streets like an ordinary Northern Union citizen and returned to his apartment.

"The owl is coming. Do we need to get rid of him in advance?"

Inside the apartment, the Baron, who was sitting by the window in a daze, saw Augustus coming back and told him what he had just discovered.

".Leave him alone for now." Augustus shook his head. "Given his personality, he will inevitably confront the Demon Lord. We don't need to take action."

"There is only one step left in the plan. The answer to the soul will soon be in our hands."

Augustus took out a ball covered with sieve holes, and a black bead was rolling inside.

[Soul Filter]

He knew very well that he could not compete with the Soul Crow for the ownership of the soul, as that would probably attract the attention of the Supreme Being.

But have the Soul Crows always existed in the world? Where did the soul go before the Soul Crows?

From various cruel experiments, he got a direction that some souls would be buried deep underground, even along with their good and evil.

So, after spending countless efforts and using up countless experimental materials, he finally made this item.

Its main function is to serve as the core of the ritual, extracting the souls that have long been buried in the land and resting in peace, and filtering out the purest soul matter. This process will inevitably deprive the good in them, and the remaining evil must find a tolerable belonging, otherwise Augustus will have to bear it himself.

As it happens, who needs sin more than the devil?

Therefore, after learning that the Northern Alliance demons were causing chaos, he rushed there immediately, made contact, and cooperated in setting up the venue.

Originally, the Demon Lord seemed not very interested in his suggestion, but perhaps the arrival of two paladins made him feel threatened, and he later accepted Augustus' plan.

He didn't need to place any array points in the north of the city, because his ritual only needed one array eye to complete the folding. By then, the entire core area would be surrounded by hexagons, forming a barrier.

He felt that the art of divine grace had been basically discovered, and what remained should be the techniques related to the soul. He would push open this final door and complete the last piece of the puzzle of divine grace.

At least the last piece at this stage.

As for the location of the center of the formation, he silently pointed to a famous place on the map.

"correct!"

In the evening, Jennifer, who had just inspected the northern part of the city several times and came back to discuss the "secrets" of the Paladin with Ye Jie while having dinner, suddenly slapped her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jie asked curiously.

Jennifer hesitated, not knowing whether Ye Jie would be embarrassed if she spoke out directly about this matter, but the information about the holy relic was obviously more important, and she was too lazy to beat around the bush. "Do you know that there are many cathedrals with the same name all over the world, and the full name of the one in the Kremlin is Vladimir Cathedral of the Assumption." Jennifer was a nun who had been in the church for quite a while, and even if she was pretending, she had memorized a lot of relevant knowledge.

Ye Jie blinked, and it took him several seconds to react: "Ah?!"

She had never thought about this at all, thinking that there was only one church with this name, and the location of this church was so critical that she did not consider other possibilities.

"There seems to be another town not far to the north, located in the Beilian Golden Ring," Jennifer explained, making Ye Jie understand the importance of knowledge for the first time.

"Look, this is it. There's also a famous cross holy water pool inside. Maybe your holy relic is hidden underneath it." Jennifer took out her cell phone and showed her the information she had just searched.

When Ye Jie saw it, his heart couldn't help but tremble, as if he was really inexplicably touched.

"Go quickly, otherwise something might happen. Leave this to me." Jennifer took the initiative to persuade.

Ye Jie nodded gratefully, and without further ado, she immediately requested a helicopter to rush over.

Vic directly arranged for her to use his private helicopter for commuting to and from get off work: "I will arrange for an escort along the way. After landing, don't worry about anything. Just dig. These things will only be valuable if people are alive."

Ye Jie also understood this truth, and soon she got on the helicopter and flew into the sky. At this time, she looked into the distance and just happened to see the last ray of sunlight slowly falling below the horizon.

Night falls.

Almost at the same time, Ye Jie felt a demonic aura rising rapidly in a short period of time.

It's like being right next to you!

"careful!"

It was too late to warn. With a loud bang, the helicopter suddenly exploded in an instant. Several fireballs of wreckage scattered and fell, hitting the towers and church of the Great Kremlin, setting the garden on fire and causing panic.

Ye Jie was floating in the air with a serious expression on his face.

The one confronting her was none other than Anfia, who had escaped from her a few days ago.

At this time, the strangely asymmetrical wings of flesh and bone behind Anfia had grown a lot bigger, and her eyeballs with eyelashes opened between the gaps, blinking as she stared at the nun who was emitting holy light.

On the ground, Jennifer was also targeted by a two-headed demon and went straight into combat.

"Amphia"

"This time, I won't let the Demon Lord down."

Without intending to communicate, Anfiya flapped her wings and appeared in front of Ye Jie in an instant.

Holy Light bless you!

The strong holy light caused Anfia to suddenly move aside, brushing past Ye Jie, with a puff of black smoke coming out of her body.

The next second, an arrow of light attacked Anfiya's back, but the countless eyeballs had already captured Ye Jie's every move. An eyeball actively drilled out from the gap, like a big-eyed flying insect, and directly collided with the arrow of light to cancel it out.

Ye Jie's expression remained unchanged, and he fired a few more light arrows, but just like what happened just now, all of them were neutralized by the opponent's eyeworms.

Turning the bow into a sword, Ye Jie took the initiative to rush forward for close combat.

Anfia was not afraid at all. She fought with enthusiasm and a desperate attitude of exchanging injuries for injuries.

"Ahem, you devil are too impure." On the ground, Jennifer was at a disadvantage from the beginning of the battle. She was just hit by a tower building and was almost buried.

Jennifer climbed out of the ruins of the tower and coughed up a mouthful of blood. She was covered in dust. Her invincible holy light was not useless when used on this demon. It just felt like chopping ribs with a blunt knife. It was very strenuous. And even with the borrowed strength, she did not have much strength.

She regretted slacking off in her training. She would have to run for her life later. Although she had means to save her life, it would be too embarrassing for a Paladin.

"Who is the devil and who is not the devil? It is you and this country that have forced me into this state. Remember my name, Lev. It will be me who will bury this corrupt society." After saying that, countless hands suddenly grew out from her back, and like infinitely extended rubber, they rushed towards Jennifer.

"Don't go too far! If I want to bury you, I'll bury you first!"

The light burst out, and Jennifer took out her trump card. The holy light turned into a spear, and there were holy light wings behind her as defense. She then controlled the earth to "freeze" the demon's legs, ignored the many long arms that attacked, and stabbed straight at the demon's head.

Swish!
At the critical moment, Lev broke free from his restraints and avoided the fatal blow, but half of his other head was stabbed.

Jennifer was powerless and did not pursue the enemy. Instead, she commanded the arriving troops to try to cover them with firepower.

"This is not a duel!" Lev roared while dodging the artillery fire. His voice traveled far away and it could be heard that he was a little angry.

Jennifer curled her lips and asked, "Who wants to duel with a devil like you?" If it weren't for the concern for hurting innocent people, she would have been the first to suggest that Vic use a nuclear bomb to wipe out the situation.

In the air, Ye Jie was not used to it at first, but then he slowly found the rhythm, understood the opponent's methods, and gradually became proficient.

Although Anfiya has become much stronger, she is still some distance away from the Demon Lord who appeared at the beginning, so how could she be Ye Jie's opponent.

The holy light cut off another piece of wing tissue. Anfia screamed in pain and took the opportunity to approach Ye Jie and hugged him.

"What are you"

The holy light was like a ball of flame, burning fiercely with Ye Jie as the center.

Anfia's body melted like a candle, gradually turning into puddles of black mud, dripping onto the ground.

"She is delaying time. The key is... Red Square."

boom!
Anfia's body suddenly shattered, leaving only a demon head flying away.

Ye Jie looked at the wound on his arm. A few drops of blood had already dripped out and merged into the earth.

My heart suddenly throbbed, and I looked up, only to see a red beam of light rising into the sky in the distance, followed by the second and third beams.
Six red beams of light surrounded the core area of ​​Mo City in an instant, connected to each other, and pulled up a dark red curtain. Standing in it, Ye Jie felt that the holy light power in his body seemed to be weakening.

The beating of her heart became more and more violent. Not only her, but all living beings seemed to be unable to breathe at this moment. They covered their chests and breathed in deep breaths.

At the Kremlin, Vich did not enter the bunker immediately. Instead, he stood on a tower and looked at the familiar Red Square from afar.

But at this moment, it feels so strange and weird.

A huge transparent and bloody door was slowly emerging, and black and red flames were burning around the door frame.

With it as the center, it continued to spread outward to the entire surrounded core area. Wisps of black and red smoke began to float up from the ground. The crescent moon in the sky was obscured, and a red full moon replaced it unnaturally.

It's just that no one cares about the moon.

Because the huge door was slowly pushed open a crack silently.
