Lonely girl in black

Watching Sophie leave, watching her graceful body disappear into the darkness of the secret passage, Ignatsu clicked his tongue and said in a tone that was half regretful and half relaxed, "What a good girl."

The adjutant said, "Prince, why don't we stop her? Archbishop Arnold wants her to live anyway, and I think this girl is quite suitable to be a consort. After all, she has a very strange network of connections in the Underworld Temple. As far as I know, many people in the upper echelons of the Underworld Temple are interested in her. "

Ignatsu thought for a moment, but still shook his head. There was a hint of coldness in his gentle smile. "No need. Although she is indeed a good candidate for a consort, she is hostile toward me. Perhaps she feels that I'm the cause of Arnold's death. That's why I feel that such a woman is very troublesome. She doesn't even have the most basic logical judgment. Arnold stayed behind because of his own interests, and it has nothing to do with me. I only gave him an option to make a deal. Whether he accepts it or not is up to him … But that's good too. Her death is a good thing for me. After all, the fewer people who are hostile to me, the better. "

The adjutant retreated to the side and stopped talking. He completely understood what the second prince said, and he thought so too. However, he thought that the second prince was interested in the girl, which was why he said what he said earlier.

In fact, Sophie thought so too. She knew very well that the second prince could not be blamed for the crisis of the Underworld Temple. It was the Underworld Temple's own choice. Compared to spreading the glory of the Goddess, the lives of believers were not worth mentioning at all. They could also use this opportunity to be loyal to the Goddess and continue to serve the Goddess in the Netherworld.

However, even though she understood, Sophie still held a grudge against the second prince. If he hadn't come to the Underworld Temple, such a thing wouldn't have happened. If he hadn't insisted on fighting for the throne, such a thing wouldn't have happened. If he hadn't offered a condition that even her father couldn't refuse, such a thing wouldn't have happened!

It's all their fault. Be it the eldest prince or the second prince, they are all damned bastards!

Resentment and anger grew in Sophie's heart like weeds. Her face was slightly twisted as she ran through the secret passage filled with skulls. Her eyes kept looking forward, and there was only one thought in her mind: go back and help her father, even if it meant death. They had to die together with their loved ones.

What she did not notice was that wherever she ran, every skull on both sides of the secret passage was emitting strands of black gas. These strands of black gas were twisting like strands of hair dancing in the air. They followed Sophie and gradually gathered together as she ran. In the end, it silently entered her body.

Gradually, Sophie's black Nether God Cannon became darker. It was getting darker and darker, as if it was absorbing the surrounding light.

By the time she came out of the secret passage and stepped into the temple, her clothes had become very strange. Its entire body was black. It was a kind of darkness that would cause one's spirit to be lost in it at first glance. However, in this pitch-black darkness that could cause one to lose one's spirit, there was a faint white light flowing slowly. It flickered slowly.

If the black on the robe represented despair, then the light in it carried a kind of will that calmed one's mind. After staring at it, one would wake up from such a dark color.

But she still did not notice the changes on her body, because she was stunned by the scene in front of her … The temple was burning with fire, and the hot air was burning her delicate skin. Soon, large drops of sweat gushed out of her body.

She covered herself with a heat shield and ran directly to the place where the killing sounds were the loudest.

But after running a few steps, when she turned a corner, she saw a person, a person she hated very much.

Dragan.

He sat on the ground, his back against the wall, his hand on his chest, and was panting violently. His clothes were still stained with a lot of blood, some of it his own, and some of it the enemy's.

In front of him, there were three soldiers lying dead.

When Dragan saw Sophie, his grayish-white face actually showed a light, as if he had a reflection of the setting sun. He straightened his body and roared with his last breath, "The source of disaster, you are the source of disaster, the reason why the temple is where it is today is all because of the misfortune you brought! It's you! "

The last 'it's you'. With endless sorrow and unwillingness, Dragan used all the strength in his body to stretch out his intact left hand, wobbling, and weakly strangling Sophie's neck. His life was rapidly draining away, and in the end, he maintained the action of stretching out his left hand to strangle Sophie, and died with his eyes open.

The cold words, the resentful expression, and the hatred and viciousness rushed out from Dragan's short sentence.

Sophie looked at Dragan, who did not close his eyes even when he died, exuding cold hostility and malice toward her. Her heart was cold, and even her whole body was in an ice cellar, not in the middle of a fire.

"Why?"

Sophie looked at the Dragan's body with a puzzled expression. She did not understand why Dragan was so hostile to her. Three years ago, she had a pretty good relationship with him. What had happened in the past two years that caused the Dragan's attitude to change 180 degrees?

There was the roar of battle in the distance, and there was a loud shout. Sophie quickly adjusted her mind and rushed over, and then she saw two sisters in the temple being besieged by several soldiers.

The soldiers laughed lewdly, surrounding the two sisters, but did not kill them. Their long swords and weapons greeted the clothes on their bodies, and not long after, the two of them could not cover up their bodies.

What women were most afraid of … perverts, and what was most ruthless was still perverts.

Seeing this, Sophie's face was as cold as frost, and she directly chanted a spell. At the same time, the starlight in her black robe lit up, and then a huge black ball appeared in front of her.

Even Sophie herself was taken aback by such a large amount of condensed Dark Mana.

But this was not the end. The black ball fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a Skeleton Warrior condensed from dark magic, holding a huge black long-handled battle axe.

As soon as the skeleton was formed, it turned to Sophie and knelt down. Although it did not speak, Sophie understood what it meant.

"My Lord … What are your orders?"

Although she did not know why an ordinary Dark Elemental Impact would turn into a huge skeleton, Sophie was only surprised for a moment, and then she gave the skeleton an order. "Kill those three men."

"Yes."

The skeleton stood up, turned around, and then appeared directly in front of the three soldiers. Then, with a sweep of the giant axe, three heads flew into the sky, and then fell to the ground with a clatter.

At the same time, the three headless corpses, blood gushed out like a fountain from their broken throats, and then softly fell to the ground.

The two female believers of the God of the Underworld saw this scene and screamed at the same time.

Sophie, who was at the side, also stared with wide eyes. She really did not expect the dark magic Skeleton Warrior she summoned to be so strong. That was definitely teleportation. It was the first time she heard that a dark elemental could actually teleport.

But now was not the time to be surprised. Sophie buried her emotions deep in her heart, and then she trotted to the side of the two female believers and shouted, "Get out of here, go through the secret passage, quickly."

Hearing this, the two female believers immediately got up and ran to the back of the temple, and then one of them turned back and shouted, "Sophie, Archbishop, your father is still in front of the temple. He is surrounded. If you want to save him, go there now."

Hearing this, Sophie was immediately anxious. She used all the strength in her body to run to the front of the temple, and the Skeleton Warrior carried the huge dark elemental giant axe and followed closely behind.

On the way, Sophie also saw a sister being pressed to the ground by two soldiers. Her clothes were torn and thrown to the side, and one of the soldiers, naked from the waist down, kept doing piston movements on her body.

Sophie's heart became more and more cold, and her hatred for the eldest and second princes deepened.

These two soldiers were quickly beheaded by the Skeleton Warriors. Sophie did not stop this time and continued to rush forward. Along the way, she killed a few of her sisters, but even more of her brothers fell in the passage of the temple. Of course, there were also many heavily armored soldiers who died beside them.

When she rushed to the front of the temple, she found that her father was surrounded in front of the stone steps, his body covered with a faintly discernible black magic shield. Not only was he surrounded by soldiers, but there were also four Mages casting light magic at him.

Every time the light magic hit his shield, Arnold's body would tremble, and the dark magic shield would become a little lighter.

Most importantly, Arnold's eyes were bleeding, his nose was bleeding, and there was also blood coming out of his mouth.

Light magic and dark magic restrained each other, and it depended on which was stronger, who was more powerful. As a bishop, Arnold was naturally strong. In a one-on-one fight, none of the four Mages were a match for him. But when it was one against four, he was at a disadvantage.

It was already a miracle that he could last until now.

Whenever a miracle happened, there would always be a very simple reason.

Arnold's mind was already in a daze. It was as if the next moment, he would turn into an idiot because of the magic backlash, or directly faint.

But he still managed to hold on, and even held on for a few minutes. He only had a small wish, and that was to help his daughter Sophie buy some more time, and let her go as far as possible.

But in a daze, he seemed to hear his daughter calling him. He used all the strength in his body to turn his upper body a little, and then turned around. Then, he saw his daughter standing on the stone steps in front of the temple.

"Why did you come back!"

Arnold shouted at his daughter in confusion. He thought that his voice was very loud, but in fact, he only moved his lips. At this moment, he did not even have the strength to speak.

He was already an arrow at the end of its flight, and now that he spoke … the magic shield immediately disappeared.

Five white magic balls of light took the opportunity to enter his body, and then there was a violent explosion. Archbishop Arnold immediately turned into broken bones and flesh, splattering everywhere.

Sophie stood on the stone steps, stunned, her eyes lost focus, like a blind person.
