Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 507: Harvest and the Happiest Way to Die (7100)

Since leaving the Inquisition, Barbotila has been living a life of luxury for many years and has never fought with anyone. His ability to respond is obviously a little rusty, but his basic fighting instincts are still there.

The [Bishop's Ring] on his hand glowed with silver holy light, instantly increasing his power to the fifth-level legendary. He retreated rapidly while chanting a prayer:

"Saint Michael, you Archangel, please intercede for me!

Saint Michael, you who uphold the Orthodox faith, please intercede for me!

Saint Michael, you who have conquered the devil, please intercede for me!

Saint Michael, you who gather souls, please intercede for me."

The majestic holy light of up to the fifth level resonated with the increasingly brighter cross behind it, and a sacred and majestic aura suddenly descended upon the Skeleton Church.

The church, which was densely packed with tens of thousands of skeletons, seemed to be quietly connected to another realm and suddenly became empty.

His chanting seemed complicated, but in fact, not only was his pronunciation clear, but it was also extremely fast.

Just as Vanessa's secret spell [Bayonetta] that seemed to be able to cut off everything in the world fell.

A light gate appeared in the holy light, and suddenly two golden staffs stretched out from it and appeared right in front of the sword light.

However, two low-level winged angels transformed from the spirits of martyred heroes rushed out from behind the door, desperately standing in front of Barbotila, trying to stop the sword light from continuing to fall.

clang--!
Unfortunately, the secret spell [Bayonetta] allows Vanessa to use the aura of disaster to strengthen herself and unleash a power far beyond the limits of her original body.

As long as the aura of disaster around is strong enough, you can hunt angels as a mortal!

This winged angel is essentially just a slightly higher-level heroic spirit, and its power is far from enough to resist Vanessa's secret spells.

In an instant, it was neatly cut in half by the sword light, turned into golden and silver light particles and disappeared into the air.

Then more winged angels swooped out from the light gate, shouting the holy name of "Lord of Hosts" and rushing towards the sword light fearlessly.

Amid the flying light particles, others were finally able to see the true appearance of the "genuine" angel.

Overall, they are indeed more human-like than the angels in "Gospel of the Kingdom", but their strength is limited.

It has wings on its back, its body is gold and silver, and its face is covered with a mask that shows a fanatical expression, as if it has no emotions of its own. Its hands and feet are covered with bird claws, making it look more like a winged man than an angel.

There is an indescribable weirdness and horror in the sacredness, and when others see it, the fear they feel is far greater than respect.

The cracking of the Creator also seemed to have seriously affected the normal form of angels, causing the "divinity" and "animal nature" in their bodies to become unbalanced.

If we put it out there, many people would believe it instead of saying it was an angel and instead saying it was some kind of "birdman" monster.

Cardinal Archbishop Barbatilla had long been accustomed to this, and while the low-level angels were constantly sending themselves to die, he quickly recited his final prayer:

"Saint Michael Archangel, protect me in the day of war.

I humbly pray that the Lord will condemn the devil. Lord of the Hosts, please cast Satan and other evil spirits who roam the world, tempting souls to their destruction into hell by the power of the Lord!

The cross behind him shone brightly, revealing a six-winged shadow.

After the decisive battle between the church and Gris, the god of funerals, believers from various countries who survived the battle saw an angel standing on the roof of a church in their own country, wiping the blood off a sword and then sheathing it.

The clergymen enlightened them that this indicated that the plague was completely over and that the Archangel would continue to protect the Lamb of God.

In fact, the archangel did leave a shadow in the silver crosses of the twelve bone churches, which could provide "holy descent" at critical moments.

clang!clang!clang!
The final prayer was said and the bells of heaven rang.

A pure incandescent angel shadow with six wings jumped out of the cross like a brilliant sun and rushed into Barbotila's body.

Six large white wings sprouted from his back, and a blazing sword emerged from his hand.

His expression also became extremely indifferent, and the face that originally belonged to Barbtila was like wearing a cold and hard marble mask. He just raised his hand and used the holy sword to block Vanessa's [Bayonetta].

The invisible sword could no longer move forward.

"Ugh~"

It’s just that the shadow of the archangel in the body of Barbatila, who had just “descended”, suddenly seemed to smell something disgusting and retched several times.

Even Margaret and her companions, whose condition was getting worse, could clearly see the "disdain" on his face, which was as cold and hard as marble.

The synchronization rate between the spirit and the flesh also dropped significantly.

It was obvious that this archangel's shadow only had fighting instincts left.

However, angels who have reached this level must strictly abide by the eight virtues and all commandments like the [Paladin], and will of course seriously resist Barbotilla, who is possessed by the "five poisons".

It is completely understandable that you may suddenly feel physical discomfort.

If the real self-aware Archangel were here, he would probably turn around and burn Barbotila, the cancer of the church, to ashes.

Unfortunately, although it was uncomfortable, the hand holding the sword was as steady as cast steel.

The power of the [Bishop's Ring] saved his life.

And at the intersection of the swords of both sides, the true appearance of the "Invisible Holy Sword" in Vanessa's hand gradually emerged.

It was a giant sword blade that was as translucent as ice, with a faint resemblance to a dragon's fang.

The whole body is simple without any decoration, only sharp and pressing! Chilling to the bone!

This is none other than the first-level holy relic [Dragon Slayer Sword·Reinhardt], the founder of the North Sea Empire. It was the sword that he used to slay the last fifth-order Blue Dragon King in the Old Continent and completely end the era of the "Dragon Court".

The ancestors of the royal families of the five Bay Citizens are all [Blue Dragon King] Reinhardt. When the families split up, each branch inherited a part of the Pirate Emperor's property.

The ancestors of Iron Anchor Bay retained the most primitive "barbaric" habits of the Bay people, and they also stole the most things from their brothers.

Even though those "exiles of the Bay" who had converted to the [Sleeping God Kraken] stole a lot of good things from Anchor Bay, there were still a lot left.

In addition to the [Pirate Code], the [Dragon Slayer Sword Reinhardt] is one of them, which best symbolizes the royal power of the North Sea Empire.

After Reinhardt killed the last Blue Dragon King, he used his teeth to reforge his own dragon-slaying sword and named it after himself.

This sword is two meters long and is in the shape of a two-handed heavy sword. Only the king or queen of the Bay Republic who has the blood of the Blue Dragon King can use it.

It can even merge into one's own blood and use one's body as a scabbard. As long as one doesn't want it to, no one can find where it is hidden.

Although it is somewhat ironic, with the last dragon being killed, there is no longer any use for any "dragon-slaying sword" in the Old World.

But it does have a strong special attack effect against Dragon Blood.

And the second core ability is called [Power of the Former King]. Every former king of the Wan people who has used it will deposit a part of his power in it before death.

Destiny: He who wears the crown must bear its weight.

"A king who grew up in a bitterly cold land must possess the strongest will if he wants to lead his people to survive.

There were thirteen previous kings who had used it. Only by enduring the pain of being stabbed by the previous kings with their swords can you borrow some of their power. "

Vanessa, who was only at the fourth level in essence, could only borrow the spirituality of three previous kings, but it was enough for her to reach the legendary border and swing her sword at the archbishop who also relied on the ring to have the power of the fifth level.

This was the key to her being able to discover the whereabouts of the raven earlier, and it was also the biggest reason why she dared to overturn the table just after escaping from the predicament.

When Vanessa was besieged by a group of judge knights and demon hunters, she found that she couldn't win even if she took out the sword, which is why she has kept it secretly until now.

“Praise the Lord of Hosts!
Angel Legion, go and capture those Lancaster relatives.

And you, witch Vanessa!

I will break your limbs with my own hands and smash your spine, so that you, a heretic who cannot learn to be grateful for the mercy of our Lord, will have to live like a puddle of mud for the rest of your life.

You must also make sure that your daughter and son-in-law who dared to save you will regret their audacity every day from now on!"

Barbotila roared angrily, flapped his wings suddenly, turned into a stream of light and pounced towards Vanessa.

He is only a fourth-rank solar corona priest, but with the blessing of the [Bishop's Ring], he is no less powerful than an ordinary legend.

Coupled with the "Holy Descent" Archangel, the effect is stronger than the ordinary "God's Descent". By completely handing over the body to the other party, he can naturally control the surging power perfectly.

At the same time, a large number of winged angels continued to pour out from behind him, gathering behind him and turning into a sea of ​​light, launching a collective charge towards the group of women.

Vanessa was trying to endure the severe pain from the sword stabbing her chest, preparing to fight head-on with the other party, but she was startled when she heard this:
"Wait! What did you say? Son-in-law? Whose?!"

She could understand every word the other person said, but when those words were put together, she had no idea what they meant, and her brain seemed to freeze for a moment.

After more than ten years in prison, the last memory he had was of his delicate and pretty little daughter, Violet, who was barely ten years old and only knew how to pull at her skirt and act coquettishly.

Now, before she could see her daughter again, she suddenly got the "surprise" of her son-in-law, which was more shocking to her than meeting her old enemy Babotila halfway.

Without the other party naming him, she knew who this "son-in-law" was.

"I treat you as my sworn brother, but you treat me as...?"

The first reaction is - death penalty! Must be death penalty!

When masters fight, the outcome can be decided by a hair's breadth. Babotila, who was in the "God descending" state, naturally would not miss this good opportunity.

The blazing holy sword in his hand, formed by holy light, thrust forward fiercely.

It seemed that Vanessa was about to suffer.

The side walls of the [Skeleton Church] and the walls of the underground prison suddenly exploded together.

The biting cold wind instantly blew through the entire skeleton church, the candles went out, and countless skeletons were quickly covered with a layer of white frost.

Da da da.
Led by a black-armored knight carrying the aura of death and storm, a torrent of steel with iron hooves burning with pale blue ghost fire rushed in along the nearly vertical cliffs.

There were shadows everywhere, and I didn’t know how many thousands of undead knights were behind them.

Buffalo horns and tattered feather crests dangled from their helmets, and paler skins lay beneath their deathly grey masks.

The skeleton horse under his crotch was wrapped in a ragged horse cloth, and the lightning-shaped blade in his hand emitted dazzling electric light.

Compared to the angels pouring out of the light gate, this group of Wild Hunt Knights is more suitable for this skeleton church.

The halo above Byron's head once again transformed into a crown of light. With the help of the royal domain of the Golden Deer, he had transformed into the complete pirate king, the Uncrowned King.

The huge lance in his hand, flashing with lightning, was pointed directly at Barbotilla's flank.

If the latter dared to ignore the stronger Byron and continued to attack Vanessa, he would be stabbed through the chest before he could re-sheath his sword for defense.

He could only grit his teeth and forcefully turn the sword towards Byron's gun.

Boom——! ! !
The tip of the sword and the tip of the spear collided fiercely, creating a ball of blazing white sun. The loud noise made the church's structural structure emit a buzzing sound.

The shock wave from the explosion tore everything between the two people, including the rock ground, skull candlesticks, chandeliers, etc., into pieces.

Byron gained comprehensive bonuses from the [Wild Hunt Legion] behind him in terms of spirituality, strength, speed, power, etc., and was even stronger than when he faced the [Puppet King].

However, the archbishop who reached the fifth level by cheating is far inferior to the puppet king Louis.

Babotila involuntarily took two steps back before he managed to stop the momentum. Behind him, Vanessa, who had gained the dual bonus of [Power of the Former King] and the aura of disaster and whose aura was surging, also stabbed him in the back with a sword.

If a father heard that his juicy cabbages were eaten by a pig without him noticing, he would probably kill the pig first before doing anything else.

But Vanessa's reaction as a mother was much better.

At the critical moment of the war, put the matter of the "son-in-law" aside for the time being, and chop the pig after defeating the powerful enemy.

Sa——!
Three afterimages flashed, and the buildings in the Skeleton Church exploded one after another in the aftermath of the battle.

Babotila was attacked from the front and back by them. He was in danger every time he dodged. Soon, blood marks appeared on his body.

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from the hole in the skeletal church:

"Byron, Mom, get out of the way!"

Byron and Vanessa responded immediately.

At the same time, a large-caliber rifle bullet, whose power was amplified 32 times by [Death Roulette], avoided their attack route under the manual guidance of a gun spirit and hit the archbishop.

Violet’s overall strength was only at level four, but her attack power was long enough to be a long-range support for a level five siege.

With no way to escape, Barbatila could only use the six wings behind him to shield himself, and was suddenly blown away by the irresistible explosion and embedded into the wall of the church.

Unlike the original [Puppet King], the body of this archbishop is still that of a mortal, and his ability to withstand blows is far inferior to the former.

There was a loud "crackling" sound, and his hands and feet were twisted, and he broke countless bones all over his body, and then he fell to the ground with a "pa" sound.

Even though he struggled to get up and used holy light to repair his injuries immediately, his aura was obviously weakened a lot.

"Stop! Byron Lancaster, do you want all your loved ones to die of illness? Do you want none of these precious anchors?

There is no cure for the Black Death, only I can save them!"

Barbotila was a step too slow and failed to take the hostage before Byron entered.

Turning around, he saw that the army of angels that were going to capture Margaret and her group were also blocked by Byron's Wild Hunt Legion, so he could only play his last trump card.

After Aunt Margaret and her group were freed from their handcuffs by Vanessa, their extraordinary abilities were restored.

However, even the strongest fourth-level [Law Mage] Margaret could not intervene because this was not her "territory".

Just take the sisters-in-law and hide in a corner. At this time, as long as they don't run around or get in the way, they are already helping.

Among the aunts, the [Pharmacist] Christina is particularly busy. Her main professional ability at the third level is called [Blood Healing Potion].

Under the continued suppression of the church, although the doctors did not understand the specific principles, they were able to use the blood of other healthy humans to make medicine to cure some patients.

One can even use the blood of powerful knights, sages, or even monsters to create temporary enhancement potions to amplify certain specific abilities of one's own.

[Blood Healing Potion] is often used together with bloodletting therapy.

Unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Christina had neither the tools nor the healthy human materials that had survived the Black Death.

She could only use all her strength to release her own immune aura to help herself and a group of sisters prevent the disease from getting worse, but it was just a drop in the bucket to fight against the [Skeleton Church].

Until the raven Fujin landed beside them, unfolded a surgical table with a diameter of three meters, and wrapped them all in it.

[Father of Medicine]'s original basic ability [Immune Blood] needed a certain amount of time for the vaccine to kill viruses in order to take effect. Now, once the [Surgical Operating Table] is turned on, the Black Death will be removed instantly.

The black spots, pain, fever, all the symptoms on their bodies disappeared.

Christina couldn't help but widen her eyes:
"It's a miracle. It's a medical miracle."

Barbatila was just about to use the smashed-to-repair church to aggravate their condition, and was about to take hostages to force Byron and his party to retreat.

However, he found that his "poisoning" ability, which had always been effective in the past, had now become as useless as a stone sinking into the sea.

Not only could he not worsen Margaret and the others' condition, he couldn't even poison Byron and the others.

It was as if a drop of water had fallen onto a lotus leaf, leaving no trace.

This lucky guy was not a man of strong willpower to begin with, and the successive failures made him scream in disbelief:

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

But the only sound came out of his throat, the stiff mask-like feeling on his face became more and more serious, and the emotion in his eyes became more and more indifferent.

The body began to swell quietly, the fleshy part gradually disappeared, and there were angel-like golden and silver claws, as well as a terrifying and absurd human face armor.
Obviously, just like all the "God's descent" obtained by tricky means, the external "God" was taking advantage of his loss of mind and lack of self-control to assimilate his soul bit by bit.

Now even his flesh and blood have begun to change. It won't be long before he will be transformed from the inside out into someone else's shape, becoming a fighting machine with only a "mechanical mind" left.

Although as an orthodox "priest", his final fate was to transform into the shape of another man, it could be said that he brought it upon himself.

But Byron didn't want to fight a real archangel at all, even if he was only left with a little health.

Without waiting for him to complete his transformation and use his second form to fight them a second time, he immediately took out the first [Stock] and stretched out his hand to pull it:
"Sell all the investments in Babotila and settle the equity."

collapse--!
A golden fishing hook was thrown out and the sound of the fishing line being tightened was heard.

A dark golden ball of light was hooked out from the archbishop's body.

"don't want--!"

The archbishop let out a terrifying scream, and his body shrank again as if it was leaking air, and his breath plummeted.

"Be vigilant and stay vigilant! If you do, you will be caught. From the moment you accepted my bribe, today's outcome was doomed."

Byron pronounced a verdict righteously like a judge, then spread out his palms and was stunned when he saw what was in his hands.

Probably because the Holy Spirit claimed the power, the value of what was extracted this time was far more than 30,000 pounds.

"Hiss! This is actually the remaining [Authority of the Underworld] of Gris, the [God of Funeral]?"

When the shadow of the archangel was wearing away the evil god's "animal nature", it had already merged with it over the past two hundred years, and it is also the foundation for it to survive here forever.

When the fishing hook was drawn just now, this authority was randomly drawn out.

Byron closed his palms, and the ball of light automatically merged into his body. He instantly felt a sense of fullness.

At this moment, he possesses: the [Lord of Heaven] of the Taino natives, the [King of the Wild Hunt] of the Bay People, and the [God of Funeral] of the countries in the Old World.

It is equivalent to gathering the authority of the underworld in the collective subconscious of all races in the known world, including the Old World, Bantaan, and the Southern Continent.

Even though only a small part belongs to the [God of Funeral], the size is large enough.

Now, even if you search across several continents, you will find that no one has more complete authority over the underworld than Byron, not even the Creator.

The underworld represents the interference with the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness and even the dark side of the world, the "Sea of ​​Source".

Byron had a hunch that when he was promoted to the fifth-level [False God], this unique and complete authority might bring him unexpected and huge benefits.

"This investment is really worth it! Mr. Barbotila, you are such a good person."

Seeing that the defeated general was still trying to escape, Byron immediately rode forward and slashed off one of his arms with his sword.

He held his [Bishop's Ring] tightly in his hand.

Most of the 98 cardinals in the College of Cardinals of the Church are able to be on par with the fifth rank only because of a bishop's ring and the church's bottom-level authority in the legal system.

The ring belongs to the Church, not to any individual or family.

As long as one is a fourth-level extraordinary person in the Temple Sequence and can be recognized by the ring, it can be used universally.

Although Byron himself is not a priest of the Temple, he cannot use such a precious treasure.

This [Bishop's Ring] is a must-have for him to take advantage of the Protestant trend, establish a royal state religion, and become the master of his own house.

Even the archbishop has been chosen.

"My archbishop reserve, Sister Teresa [Sister of Mercy], is still just an ally bound by the bond of interest. I need to change to a more in-depth way of binding.

At least they must be transformed into blood relatives who will never betray. "

Then he shook his head and shook out "The Fall of a Nun", "The Pink Stigmata" and other strange things that he didn't know what they were from his mind.

Completely at his wit's end, Babotila endured the pain and resolutely knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with a piety that even the Creator had never experienced:
“Please spare my life, Pirate King, please let me go, please let me go.

I was told to do this by the White Rose York Family. It's none of my business!"

Not long ago, he was still high and mighty, giving orders and asking the people of Taiwan to fight to the last man, but now he is spinelessly throwing the blame at York.

But even if he didn't have a deep hatred for his mother-in-law, Byron never had the habit of letting a tiger go back to the mountains. He just felt that there was not much time left, so he decided to give him a quick death.

Looking at Babotila's flattering eyes, he sighed with compassion on his face:
"Well, since I am kindhearted, I will grant you the happiest death suitable for ancient nobles."

In the Old World, there is a bloodless and happy way of dying, which is specifically suitable for the upper class people of noble status, allowing them to leave the world in a dignified manner.

The specific method is to let two beauties serve to bathe and clean the body, which means to wash away sins and leave the world cleanly.

Then, after reaching ecstasy with the two beauties, he picked up the strong poisonous wine prepared in advance and drank it all. If he had the energy, he could do it again with the beauties.

There is no pain throughout the whole process, but instead you will feel ecstatic until you finally die.

Byron turned around and led his aunt and the others out, and said to Violet, who had quietly come to their side and hugged her mother’s arm:

"Miss, give him two 'little boys'."

Yes, other people’s happiness is beautiful women, but Babotila’s happiness can obviously only be little boys.

"Can such a good thing happen when you are dying?"

When he looked up at Violet, two objects flashing intense red light fell towards him, and he subconsciously reached out to catch them.

When he looked closely, he found that what fell into his hands were two glass bottles of [Song of Blood and Fire], which were "large bottles" with extra quantity that were larger than 42-pound artillery shells.

Furthermore, Violet has greatly enhanced their power with her title ability, "Art is Explosion" (mass-energy equation), which can turn anything into an explosive.

There was just a phrase written on the surface of each bottle: "Code Name: Little Boy".

then
Real men never look back to see the explosion.

Boom——! ! !
A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

When the pirate fleet disappeared into the blue hole one after another, half of the Maltese monastery built on the cliff collapsed in the violent explosion, and then slid into the sea as a whole.

Not to mention finding clues to the murderer, even the bones of their own people could not be found.

Byron raised his hand and collected the souls of all the dead, preparing to pack them and send them to Edward to enrich the coolie farm of the "United Pharmaceutical Company".

After reading Barbatilla's memory, a sneer appeared on his lips:
"The York family ordered the poisoning? Then it's your turn next.

I originally wanted to send you off with me when I stole the country, but since you are so restless, I will help you find some fun first."
