Chapter 57 57: I’m not coming!
As soon as the nun appeared, the demons that had been chasing and grabbing a person and screaming suddenly closed their mouths, carefully put the person on the ground, and slowly moved back. It seemed that they felt the power that frightened them so much and wanted to escape.

After all, holy light is the natural enemy of these demons. Even if they have no brains, they know to stay away from it instinctively. Especially these low-level demons have no resistance to holy light at all.

But before it could move two steps, Jennifer swung the Holy Light Sword, which passed through the horrified people and pierced straight into the demon's chest.

With a scream and struggle, this demon, like the previous ones, vaporized and turned into a pool of mud.

Jennifer walked forward indifferently, and people rushed to make way for her, fearing that they would be touched by a piece of the nun's clothes.

She came to the puddle of mud and pulled out the Holy Light Sword, which was not stained with a drop of blood. She swung it casually, and it was like a Jedi Knight's lightsaber. The light disappeared. Only then did the Pope see clearly that the hilt of the Holy Light Sword was a pure silver cross.

Jennifer held the cross in her palm and looked at the Pope who was still being supported and breathing heavily. She tried to suppress the curve of her mouth: "Battle Sister, Jennifer, I say hello to you on behalf of the Paladin Family."

Paladins? Knights Templar? Didn't they disappear into the long river of history? And why did she have extraordinary powers?

A large number of questions piled up in the Pope's mind, making him a little dazed for a moment. The cardinal was more alert and quickly coughed twice: "Ms. Battle Sister, how about we change places?"

Jennifer listened to the faint screams and shook her head slightly: "The demon has not been eliminated yet, you guys wait here for a while."

"No, I, we'll follow you." The Pope's forehead was sweating. Are you kidding? These monsters can't be killed by guns. It's rare to meet one that can be dealt with. What if she leaves and she encounters a monster again? They are so insecure now.

The others also followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, yes." They had been chased all the way and felt that a monster would pop up everywhere.

Jennifer neither agreed nor refused, but turned and walked towards the elevator.

The person behind hesitated for less than a second and quickly followed.

"Why didn't we take the elevator just now?" The Pope asked the chief guard after calming his breath.

The other party shook his head helplessly: "The time we waited for the elevator was enough for these monsters to kill us ten times."

The hall was now a bloody mess. Three demons were gnawing on fresh pieces of meat. The few survivors huddled in the corner, covering their mouths and crying softly.

Those demons clearly wanted to be slaughtered and eaten immediately. If they stayed where they were, they would not be attacked for the time being. But once they tried to escape, those demons would make do with a bite of something that was not so delicious. The corpses in front of them that were still groaning just now were the best proof of this.

Now they can only pray that the heavenly soldiers don't arrive as fast as in movies and TV shows to finish off the scene, because if they do, they will all be eaten.

Then, as if in direct response from God to their prayers, a holy light appeared and the demons howled. Those with eyes covered their eyes and those without eyes rolled on the ground.

The nun held the holy sword in her hand and moved left and right. Her black robe was not stained with a trace of dust, mud or blood. She moved as smoothly as flowing clouds and water. In just a few breaths, the demons were beheaded.

Afterwards, several more people appeared from the stairwell and ran out crying. It turned out that the devil coming down from the roof was chasing them.

Jennifer became more and more courageous as the battle went on. In the blink of an eye, she rushed into the middle of several demons. Her holy sword spun, defeating the enemies in an instant.

Putting away the cross, Jennifer walked up to the Pope and asked, "As the Pope, you travel without a guard?"

The Pope smiled bitterly and pointed to some bodies in black suits on the ground: "I brought the clock guards."

Jennifer raised her eyebrows, a little unhappy. I have already revealed my identity and you are still pretending.

"You know I'm not talking about these people." The Pope was at a loss. They have always been my guards! Who else could it be?

"The Satan-level demon has just disappeared, and the evil spirit in New York is stronger than ever. You come here without a Pastor of Truth or the sickle of the Inquisition?" Jennifer, who was educated in Shiraishi Hang's new worldview, was shocked by the Pope's recklessness.

The Pope was no less shocked than she was.

What the hell? !

Truth Priest? Why does this name sound like a game profession?

Of course he knew about the Inquisition, which had always been the reason for others to attack the Holy See, but he knew his own business, and this thing was not as mysterious, evil and powerful as others imagined.

He looked at the cardinal, and the cardinal also looked at him, then quickly shook his head, indicating that how could he know something that you don’t know? As a cardinal, I am now just a famous name in the outside world.

"Forget it. We Paladins have sensed that a new Chosen Paladin has been born in the church, so we sent me as a representative to temporarily return to the Holy See. But if you don't welcome it, then we will continue to maintain the oath we made a thousand years ago and have no more contact." Jennifer said a lot of words that the Pope couldn't understand, but after careful consideration, she could still understand some of them.

Such a powerful supernatural being is going to "return" to us? And he represents an entire supernatural force?!
The Pope tried his best to make the most solemn expression: "I and the Holy See absolutely welcome the return of the Paladin."

Even though he didn't know what a so-called paladin was.

They only knew that with extraordinary assistance, their backs would be straightened a hundred times.

Could it be that there really had been such a supernatural force in the church, which caused a split, and as a result, the ones outside are still passing on the legacy, while the church that inherited the great tradition has lost the legacy?

Heartbroken!

The Pope did not bother to contact America. He immediately took Jennifer, the cardinal, and found a suitable place to discuss and conduct tentative inquiries.

"You mean, you have cut off your extraordinary inheritance?!"

Jennifer couldn't believe it, but when she thought about the confused look on the Pope's face when she just spoke, she couldn't help but believe it a little more.

"Yes, that's why I am confused about what you said." The Pope did not try to hide it, because it was impossible to hide it. When others returned to the Holy See, they would find that it was full of old men, not only with glowing hair, but also with all their hair falling out. They would feel cheated, or think that they were no longer worth cooperating with and were not honest. They would just turn around and leave, without even a place to cry.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the extraordinary inheritance of protecting God is only left in the lineage of the Paladins." Jennifer also sighed quietly. After all, she completely believed the story made up by Bai Shihang.

"Excuse me, how many paladins are there now?" asked the cardinal at the side.

Jennifer didn't know, but she wouldn't say it directly: "It's not convenient to reveal this for the time being, but over the past thousand years, many families have disappeared in history. Now we can no longer exert too strong a suppression on the demons."

"That's why, after we sensed the birth of a new Chosen Paladin, we took the initiative to seek cooperation. Otherwise, a thousand-year-old oath and hatred would not be easily let go."

The Pope looked innocent. I really had no idea what oath or feud was about. There was no relevant record in any books, and my predecessor didn't tell me either.

However, he knew a little about the Poor Knights of the Temple, also known as the Knights Templar. He also knew that hundreds of years ago they had a huge conflict with the church. Many of their members were burned at the stake for heresy, and finally the church announced the dissolution of the Knights Templar.

The Pope's scalp tingled when he thought of this. Could it really be the Knights Templar?
