Forget it, needless to say, prepare to fight! They are more difficult to deal with than the previous batch.\"\nA slumped-looking church bishop said with a wry smile.\n\"Don't take the initiative to attack, just wait and see what happens. If I'm not wrong, they shouldn't be harmful to the cathedral.\" The armored priest shook his head and said.\nAlthough the other priests were hesitant, they still listened to the opinions of the armored priests.\nThe strong men of the Knights Templar have traveled far and wide, fought in many worlds, and have experienced a lot.\nMaybe you know some secrets that they don't know.\nBesides, for people like them, even if they try their best, they probably won't be of much use.\nFacts have proved that the armored priest's judgment was not wrong.\nThese \"devils\" who resembled human girls did not attack them, but formed a line in front of the cathedral.The line of defense resists the attacks of other demons.\nThe priests finally breathed a sigh of relief, relying on each other to recover from their injuries.\n\"Why would these demons help us?\" the Holy Church Bishop asked the armored priest in confusion.\n\"Perhaps, because their owner is related to His Majesty the Pope.\"\nThe thoughts of the armored priest seem to have returned to tens or hundreds of years ago.\nThe Knights Templar first showed their talents, following the turbulent years of the current Pope's conquests in the north and south.\nWhile supporting a certain empire in a war to resist the invasion of the abyss, he witnessed with his own eyes an indescribable existence.\nWith a wave of his hand, he wiped out hundreds of millions of demons.\nThat existence seems to have a close relationship with their His Majesty the Pope.\n\"If it's that person...\"\n\"These demons definitely don't stand a chance!\"\n\n\nThe armored priest showed a comfortable smile.\nThe same scene happened in front of every cathedral.\nThousands of plant life forms defend the cathedral like an iron barrel.\nNo matter whether it is a demon or a fallen person, as long as it approaches the scope of the cathedral, its end will be completely destroyed without any surprises.\nTheoretically, the plant life form is only a third-order unit.\nBut even a seventh-level demon cannot shake a being whose four-dimensional attributes total millions.\nIn the face of the huge gap in attributes, quantity has lost its meaning.\nAs soon as Chen Yu took action, the crisis in the cathedral was immediately lifted.\nThe Lord of the Abyss, who was wandering outside the battlefield, also noticed the situation here.\nHowever, it did not rush to attack the cathedral. Instead, after observing the psychology of plant life, it brazenly joined the eighth-level battle.\nChen Yu's expression condensed, and the eleven elves around him immediately made preparations to attack.\nThe Sword Intent Grass also turned into a sword, surrounding him.\nHe does not trust the higher-ups of the church.\nIn his opinion, everyone may be a mole, even the Knights Templar, the direct descendants of the Little Saint.\nHe needs the devil to muddy the water and reach a balance between the two forces.\nOtherwise, he could have wiped out all the demons outside the Holy City.\nHowever, at this moment, he could not sit back and watch all the masters of the Temple being killed.\nThe cathedral and the angel statue were so close, I was filled with worries when I moved my hands.\nFacing all the demons and degenerates alone, he could not guarantee that the little saint would be absolutely safe and that the ritual would not be affected.\n\"Hey, if that's the case, then just wait and see how it gets better.\"\nJust when Chen Yu was about to take action, he stopped again when he saw the Abyss Lord's attack target.\nIn the sky, on the eighth-level battlefield, the ascetic Heratugus fights four demon lords alone.\nThe surging holy power surrounded him, forming a pure white river of holy power.\nThe resolute figure loomed in the white light.\nThe abyss power originating from the demon lord constantly shatters the river of holy power, breaking through the defenses and attacking Heratugus's body.\nHeratugus struggled to support himself, and was already somewhat stretched.\nThere were originally five eighth-level people in the temple, but now only four were left.\nBut the ten-headed demon lord still maintains his fighting power.\nEven though Heratugus withstood most of the pressure, the remaining three people also suffered all-round suppression.\nAmong them, the most outstanding one is Daria, the knight of the Knights Templar.\nHis strength seems to be comparable to Heratugus, and he can fight the three-headed demon lord alone.\nAlthough he has been injured, it does not affect the battle, and he still has enough energy to support the other two from time to time.\nDalia was the first to notice the silent entrance of the Abyss Lord.\nThe thick domain spread over, and the huge power made Dalia's hair suddenly stand on end.\nWhen the power of the Abyss Lord attacked Heratugus, he only had time to shout \"Be careful\"!\nBy the time his voice came out, it was already too late.\nThe moment the domain was covered, a powerful abyss magic swept over like a tsunami, directly shattering Heratugos's holy power defense.\n\"Boom——\"\nWith no time to react, Heratugos, who had taken an attack from the Abyss Lord, crashed into the ground.\nA burst of smoke and dust rose.\nThe next moment, the figure of Heratutgus rushed into the sky again.\nHis body was covered with spider web-like cracks, and his whole body was like a rag doll that had been torn into pieces and then pieced together.\n\"He's not dead yet? His vitality is very strong.\"\nThe Lord of the Abyss elegantly tidied the wrinkles on his dress.\n\"However, your life has reached its final moment.\"\n\"For a devout believer like you, I like to personally send you to see your noble Lord.\"\nGo ahead, the Lord of the Abyss flashed and appeared next to Heratugus.\nThe sharp claws shining with scarlet light pierced Heratugus's chest.\n\"Lord Ascetic!\"\nThe eyes of the three eighth-level saints were about to burst, and they hurriedly tried to get rid of their opponents and went to support them.\nBut the demon lords won't give them any chance.\nThe demon's arm penetrated Heratugus's chest without any hindrance.\nThen with a gentle pull, a bloody heart was pulled out.",1237,"2026-06-06T17:30:48.717Z",1,null,"2964525fa079d807be00b9c97b0b2e469f81aff83e1f155311d4bf476c8f4ce7","seraph-is-coming-purify-everything-395","the-defense-line-collapses-take-action-393",567,"\u002Fcovers\u002F2744d9e2-255e-4853-bafb-59a1dcb29203-1780767046444.jpg"]
