Mercenary Wars

Chapter 63 Demon-Breaking Arrow

The blond man obviously had no time to care about the child now, but kept shouting: "Where is Mother Teresa, where is she?"

"She is coming!"

"Let the nun in!" The blond man quickly opened the door and welcomed Sister Teresa in. "Therese, go check on Lena, how is she?"

Sister Teresa hurried in and saw Lena's condition. Her face suddenly changed. She then hurried forward and prayed while taking a deep breath.

Soon two drops of Holy Light Tears dripped down and fell into Lena's body.

But Lena remained unchanged.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood what had happened. Although the blond man couldn't believe it, he still asked tremblingly: "Lena... is dead?"

Mother Teresa nodded silently, her eyes red.

After a brief silence, she looked at the baby beside her.

"Wow--"

The baby suddenly cried and struggled in the midwife's arms.

No one took the baby's crying seriously, and the midwife immediately handed him to Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa wiped the blood off the baby and said sadly, "Poor child, I hope you can grow up healthy with Lena's wish..."

Unable to help but shed two more tears of holy light.

"Wow--" Looking at these golden holy tears, an adult-like fear suddenly appeared on the baby's tender face. The crying sound was sometimes low and sometimes sharp, and the tender hands and feet struggled frantically.

Tears of Holy Light fell on the baby's skin.

"Hiss..." A corrosive sound suddenly rang out, and bursts of white smoke continued to emerge from the baby's skin.

"No!" The baby's cry turned into an angry roar, and his skin changed color from white to black. In a blink of an eye, his whole body became pitch black, and dark clouds surged from his facial features!

Immediately afterwards, two black feathers shot out from the dark clouds.

"Ah!" Mother Teresa was unable to react in time and was blinded immediately. She fell to the ground with a scream.

Then, in the people's horrified gazes, an angel covered in black appeared in the rapidly growing dark clouds, with two black wings spread out, immediately shrouding everyone in shadow.

This pitch-black angel has an elegant body, but has two horns on its head and a ferocious face, making it look like a devil and terrifying!
After he appeared, he ignored the others and waved his hand.

"boom!"

Most of the walls and the roof were instantly ripped apart by an invisible force, and the darkness and cold wind from the outside immediately blew in. The poor blond man accidentally fell directly from the edge, and his life or death was unknown.

Then the dark angel looked up at the sky and said angrily, "You lied to me again!"

Dark clouds were swirling in the sky, as if a storm was coming, but there was no response.

"In that case, I won't be polite!" The black angel snorted coldly and cast his gaze on the people around him.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the two nuns and lifted them up by the throat.

"Moza, save your servant!" The two nuns were terrified and tried to resist with spells, but it was of no use.

The black angel showed a mocking smile, and a dark red light appeared in his hand.

The bodies of the two nuns withered quickly and turned into two skeletons in the blink of an eye.

Then he looked back at Mother Teresa.

At this time, Mother Teresa was being protected by Cassandra behind her. She was chanting spells while shedding tears of blood. Several rays of holy light of the mantra fell on Cassandra one after another.

"Are you the incarnation of a fallen angel?" Cassandra frowned, holding the giant sword in her hand.

"Fallen? According to you mortals, yes." The fallen angel looked Cassandra over, his gaze lingering briefly on her red hair. "I suppose you possess the virtue of bravery, correct?"

Cassandra didn't answer. Instead, she tightened her grip, and the greatsword burst into flames. With a soft cry, she swung the sword and charged at the Fallen Angel.

"Boom!" The sword came with great force, but was easily dodged.

The fallen angel handled the situation with ease, dodging several heavy sword attacks and killing two female soldiers.

Cassandra gritted her teeth, the flames on her sword suddenly flared up, even her arms sparked with wisps of flame. Then, as she swung the sword, a curtain of fire erupted.

"Boom!" The flames finally swept over the fallen angel, and several black feathers were ignited, but they were quickly extinguished.

The fallen angel frowned slightly, flapped his wings and flew into the sky, then chanted a spell and pointed his finger.

Black, sharp nails pointed directly at Cassandra.

Cassandra was struck by lightning, and the giant sword in her hand fell to the ground uncontrollably. When she tried to get closer to the giant sword, her body trembled suddenly, and a look of pain appeared on her face. She couldn't pick up her weapon no matter what.

This was the scene that Gao Jianuo saw when he approached the castle.

Looking at the dark angel in the sky, Gao Jianuo's face showed incredible surprise.

This is... the legendary fallen angel? !
No, if it was really a mythical creature like a fallen angel, it would probably only take a thought to deal with Cassandra, and there would be no chance of her fighting back or struggling.

The more likely possibility is that this is just a mortal creature that looks like a fallen angel, or an incarnation of a fallen angel - and a low-level incarnation at that.

But how could there be such a thing in the castle?

At this moment, the fallen angel waved his hand, and Cassandra immediately flew towards him uncontrollably.

"Boom!" Suddenly there was a loud bang, and a stronger flame ignited from Cassandra's body, wrapping her entire body below the neck, allowing her to regain her freedom for a while.

Since her hair was also a fiery color, she looked like she was completely covered in flames.

Then Cassandra roared, turned around suddenly in the flames, and stepped hard on the fallen angel's face with her iron boots!

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died instantly after being hit in the face like this.

However, Cassandra's strength was clearly far from fatal to the Fallen Angel.

He showed an annoyed look, dodged the follow-up attack, and then grabbed Cassandra's throat with his backhand.

But unlike when he dealt with the two nuns, his movements this time were obviously much more cautious. He deliberately avoided the flames below Cassandra's neck, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

Gao Jianuo made a decision!

Looking at Cassandra whose throat was strangled by the fallen angel, he gritted his teeth and quickly took out three things from the storage ring.

First, the Mithril Demon-Breaking Arrow, his only weapon that could possibly kill the Fallen Angel, then the spell scroll "Loyalty of the Bow" and the Rage Potion.

He raised his head and drank the anger potion, which allowed Gao Jianuo to exert greater strength and eliminate pain for a short period of time. Then a few drops of blood oozed from his fingertips, covering the mithril arrowhead to form a blood arrowhead.

Pull the bowstring and tear the spell scroll apart.

A ball of light flew out from the scroll, enveloping both the bow and the arrow.

Swift breeze, full bow and aim.

shoot!
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the bow gave up greater power at the cost of breaking, turning into a bright white light that pushed the arrow out!

"Swish--" The mithril arrow flew straight towards the fallen angel with a sharp sound like hissing through the air. There was no doubt that this was the most powerful arrow Gao Jianuo had ever shot!
Because the arrow was moving too fast, Gao Jianuo had difficulty controlling it in time.

He had anticipated this, so he planned ahead and set a simple but counterintuitive deflection trajectory, with the end point set at the position where he predicted the enemy would dodge.

With the keenness of the fallen angel, he naturally discovered the incoming arrow and dodged in time.

Then, the arrow turned in a subtle arc and continued to shoot towards him!

The fallen angel was startled and tried to dodge again, but he was still a little slow, and Cassandra kicked him in time, making his dodge completely unsuccessful.

The mithril arrow shot out, and immediately the light of "destroying the devil" burst out on the angel's black wings!
