Love Warriors Cong Liangji

Even though he was imprisoned and deprived of freedom and light forever, this man never gave up.

He has firm beliefs at all times and never wavers. He is devout and believes that temporary suffering is a trial given by God. The benevolent heavenly father silently watches everything and will eventually give people the ending they deserve.

However he was wrong.

Because no matter how much he prayed, no matter how much he persisted, he never got half a response until the end. When he could no longer maintain his physical strength with faith, his body would inevitably weaken.

On his deathbed, he confirmed again: he will not get any form of redemption.

What needs to be explained in advance is that he is not an idiot who just kneels down and prays and does nothing else. Apart from his devout beliefs, he is also preparing for prison escape all the time.

Digging tunnels, paralyzing guards, rusting shackles, making tools...

However, even with such efforts, there was still no hope or opportunity.

God...if you're going to test your kids, you shouldn't take away every possibility.

Once upon a time, he also imagined that in a time of desperation and despair, the heavenly father would cast the dawn of salvation, even if it was only as thin as a spider's silk, he would definitely hold on to it and escape from this hell!

But not even a spider's silk!

He was just plain, dead, numb... Gradually heading towards death.

So he thought again: Maybe God is not merciful, but he should be fair.

Since no hope is given to him, then God should be indifferent and indifferent to all people.

——This last fantasy was also ruthlessly shattered.

The young man who was framed by others like himself, the young man who was redeemed and taught by himself, the young man who inherited everything from himself...

The other party's situation is the same as his own, but he "easily" grasped the hope and the future.

The young man escaped from Chateau d'If, acquired the treasure of Monte Cristo, transformed himself into a mysterious and noble ancient family, and took revenge on his enemies with ruthless means——

And all of this should have been his own story!

He was the one who prepared the escape, and he was the one who controlled the location of the treasure, and he also had the unforgettable betrayal and the hatred that had to be returned tenfold!

However, among the two prisoners, only one can obtain the future.

If the one who escaped was me...

The priest felt that he shouldn't have such twisted thoughts.

He really wanted to help that young man, without any extra thoughts or plans, just out of the gentleness of an old senior and a priest.

The young man has a brighter future, his life has just begun, and he shouldn't spend the rest of his life in this dark cell.

And the priest...he is already an old man on the verge of death.

Whether it is intellectually or emotionally, the priest tends to leave hope to the young, and in fact he does.

But after that, the priest's body had long been destroyed, but his soul remained in the prison of Chateau d'If.

He failed to be redeemed, but just stayed in the corner day after day, waiting for the freedom that would never come.

This time, even the moonlight will not shine on him...

So naturally, he began to question, regret, and lament.

For a moment, he doubted the existence of gods;

At a certain moment, he was jealous of the young man he rescued;

At a certain moment, he felt unprecedentedly clearly the sludge rising from the depths of his soul...

Faith, morality, rationality, everything collapsed in endless despair, leaving only jealousy and anger!

-

"Let's boil, the sins that have gathered!"

The priest holds the Holy Grail high above his head, and a black viscous liquid like mud rises from the bottom and gradually fills the cup, even slowly overflowing and falling on the priest.

"This is the blood of Christ, which redeems the original sins of mankind and demonstrates the miracle and love of the Father.

Be overflowing, overflowing, overflowing... the cycle is seven, holy, complete, connected to each other.

The trial road to the kingdom begins with a crown and ends with sword and fire...

Wash it all away, blood of Christ that the saints sigh! "

gurgle beep beep...

The turbid and viscous black mud kept gushing out, bursting uncontrollably like a fountain, completely submerging the priest's body in an instant, and then continuously expanding its existence, swallowing everything around it like a greedy monster.

hum! ! !

The astonishing magical power distorts the real space, and the existence that should never be summoned in the ordinary Holy Grail War is manifested with the Holy Grail full of original sin as the carrier.

It was a huge body made of black mud. There was no distinction between torso and limbs, only an extremely huge main body and tentacles extending around like starfish.

Its volume soon surpassed that of divine beasts such as the starry sky sphinx, and even Fafnir was beyond its reach, reaching a level unmatched by followers.

puff!

The main body of the huge monster split apart in the violent energy fluctuations, and a tall human figure grew out of it, with no specific facial features, just like the roughest kind of puppet, only a rough outline.

This monster has a humanoid upper body from the waist up, and twisted tentacles like starfish or octopus below the waist, which makes people sick.

But despite this, the momentum it exudes is not fake.

Ordinary servants, even if the seven cavalry go up together, are definitely not its opponents, but will be swallowed by it and become its nourishment.

"Lixiang retreat!"

With a stern look on Jiang Liu's face, he yelled and blocked the black long straight girl behind him.

"And Anne and Mary, back off too! Berserker, you are responsible for protecting them!"

"Well, brother?" Li Xiangruo felt something, "Is this monster not good?"

"Yeah... Anyway, don't get close."

"Could it be that even my brother..."

"It's not that powerful, but it's too dangerous for you."

Jiang Liu's insight and intuition are amazing, and he has sufficient experience and knowledge. Although it is a monster he has never seen, he has also judged the basic nature of the opponent, so he dare not be careless.

It's not that he's afraid. In fact, this monster is not his opponent. Although it is stronger than most of the beasts, Jiang Liu's upper limit is much higher than it.

The reason why it is so cautious is that its nature is too bad.

The Seven Deadly Sins—the monster bred from it, let alone its strength, it has the special ability to curse all human beings.

As long as it is an individual who cannot get rid of the concept of "original sin", whether it is a living person like Lixiang, or a pirate twin who has sublimated into a heroic spirit after death, he will be cursed.

Not to mention fighting with it, even staring directly for too long may cause mental pollution!

But correspondingly, the farther you deviate from the concepts of "human beings" and "original sin", the less likely you will be affected by them. Therefore, followers with high divinity can be immune to curses to a certain extent.

Among the people present, only Yuzao Mao and Jiang Liu could face this monster head-on!

"If you absorb more nutrients, maybe you can really grow to the level of a god...but you don't have this chance!"

Jiang Liu stepped on his feet, and his body flew out like an arrow from the string.

"I'll fix you right here!"

Zheng!

The sharp sword pressure cut off one of the monster's tentacles, and the hoarse and piercing roar of pain resounded through the prison.

And Jiang Liu took this opportunity to jump high, flipped over the top of the monster's head, and at the same time swung a particularly swift sword, cutting off the monster's arm for blocking!

"Ooooooooo!!!"

When the monster's roar hadn't stopped, black mud surged from the wound, and the severed limbs refused as if they were attracted by some kind of gravity...

It's a pity that the magic sword used to create these wounds is called "Immortal Slash", and things that have been cut by Jiang Liu are not so easy to recover.

As a result, those wounds continued to dissolve but could never return to their original appearance, which looked extremely disgusting.

But soon, the black mud on those wounds slowly fell off like carrion, a wave of magic power flashed, and new black mud surged out from the inside, reshaping the arm.

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised, and looked down at the Immortal Sword in his hand.

"Well, there's no other way...it's quite troublesome."

Just when Jiang Liu was about to refine his magic power and use a large-scale attack to solve the problem, a shaky figure entered his field of vision, making him stand still for the time being.

"Count...Edmond?"

Chapter 502: Long time no see, I'm back, Father

Standing up unsteadily in the corner of his field of vision was the Avenger with a big hole in his chest——Edmond Dantès.

It's incredible, he didn't have [Battle Continue], he should have disappeared immediately after the spirit core was destroyed, but he persisted until now.

Of course, his tenacity has a lot to do with it, but it's his third Noble Phantasm that truly works the miracle.

Apart from the super-fast [Tiger, Brilliant Burning] and the [Count of Monte Cristo] who hides his real name, the third Noble Phantasm owned by the Avengers——

【Wait, and hope (Attendre, Espérer)】!

This is the only glimmer of hope that shines brightly in the darkness full of rebellion, despair and regret.

As the name suggests, it is a treasure that can preserve hope and reverse the situation in desperate situations!

It directly acts on the spirit foundation or the physical body, and can directly restore a person on "our side" from the dying state to the heyday!

Although the earl's entire spiritual core is now destroyed, it is no longer the so-called "near death", but it is no different from death, even with the third treasure, it cannot be truly reversed.

But just repairing the superficial spirit foundation and gaining a short-term ability to act... It's still no problem.

But it's hard to imagine what else Dantès can do in this state.

It should be noted that, like Gemini, he also belongs to the "human being" restrained by the original sin monster, and he is also an avenger whose whole heart was once occupied by hatred, so the restraint is more obvious.

Let alone now, even in his heyday, he might not be able to cause any substantial damage to the original sin monster.

"it's not finished yet!"
