Chapter 460: Sanctuary

The flames subsided, the darkness dissipated, and Silent Hill, which was like hell just now, turned back to that dilapidated and dead town.

Although this Silent Hill is a small town, it is actually astonishingly large, no less than some small and medium-sized cities.

This is not surprising. After all, Silent Hill is not an ordinary town. The Vattar Sect has been operating here for decades, and has been secretly expanding the size of the town, accumulating believers and various resources.

Therefore, this town is not small at all. Before Aretha fell into darkness, Silent Hill had nearly 300,000 residents, and 80% of them were believers who migrated from the Vattar sect.

Of course, on the surface they still used the banner of the Church of the Holy Church, and even invited some priests of the Church of the Holy Church to act as a disguise. Coupled with the operation of various aspects, they did not show their feet.

If the accident of Aretha hadn't happened, they might have continued to pretend until they cultivated Samuel's God's Embryo, or were detected by the Holy Church and the federal agencies.

It is a pity that there are not so many ifs in this world. Aretha's accident got out of control, and decades of hard work of the Watar sect went to waste. Silent Hill fell into the spirit world, and the hardcore believers suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for the profound background of their sect and the establishment of the three sanctuaries in time, there would be no need for an outsider, Ronin, to intervene. Dark Aretha would be able to drive out their entire sect by herself.

These three sanctuaries are their only shelters and footholds in Silent Hill. Needless to say their importance, all the resources and foundations of the Vattar sect have been invested in it.

In this way, the defensive strength of the three sanctuaries can be imagined. Except for the saints of the saints, the priests of the saints mentioned by Dark Aretha, and the incarnation of Valtiel of the Valtiel, Ronin has to face the pressure of the sanctuary itself. As well as the many believers stationed in the sanctuary and the various weapons they hold.

It is by no means an easy matter to break through the three sanctuaries, and it is not up to Ronin to do simple things. Dark Aretha has already done it, so there is still a stalemate with the Vattar sect until now.

Dark Aretha couldn't take it down, and Ronin wasn't sure about it either.

Fortunately, they were able to join forces, with Ronin attacking one sanctuary alone, while Dark Aretha suppressed the other two sanctuaries and defeated them one by one.

The focus of this plan is Ronin's attack and Dark Aretha's suppression, as well as the cooperation of the two.

Luo Ning is quite confident in his own strength. As long as there is no accident on the side of Dark Aretha, he will definitely be able to break through the sanctuary guarded by the Madonna faction, and then defeat the Saintess faction and the Valtiel faction one by one.

But there is a problem here.

Can Dark Aretha be trusted?

Obviously not!

Dark Aretha doesn't trust Ronin, and Ronin doesn't trust Dark Alessa either.

In her state, if Luo Ning believed her, he would really trust you.

Although he doesn't trust Dark Aretha very much, Rhonin has no better choice now. He can only act according to her instructions first, and then adapt to the development of the situation.

...

Luo Ning drove through the town, and after a while, a building that stood out against the surrounding ruins came into his vision.

It was a church, a standard Roman-style rectangular building,

The main body is golden red, shining like the sun in this misty world, dispelling the erosion of uncleanness and darkness.

In the front courtyard of the church, in the middle of the gate, stands a statue of a woman. She wears a robe and shows her bosom to the world in a hugging gesture. Her loving eyes hang down to heal all pain.

Madonna Statue!

The specific image of God is unknown to the world, and they dare not boldly explore and blaspheme the gods. They can only portray an ideal image according to the enlightenment of God for people in the world to believe in and worship.

Therefore, most of the gods are similar, especially gods of the same pantheon, function, and gender, like this statue of the Virgin. Those who have not studied the scriptures will never be able to tell which Virgin it is.

Behind the statue of the Virgin is the main entrance of the church, which is tightly closed at the moment, but there are high-pitched hymns echoing inside, making the church shine brightly and dispelling all the surrounding fog.

Faith is the main source of power for the Three Sanctuaries.

Before Aretha fell into darkness, there were nearly 600,000 scenes in Silent Hill, and 80% of them were followers of the Vattar sect.

Although most of the 80% are general believers or superficial believers, there are also true believers and devout believers, and there are even many fanatics.

The faith provided by these true believers, pious believers, and fanatics is a very powerful force, and it is also the foundation for the establishment of the three sanctuaries.

After the establishment of the Three Sanctuaries, these believers were stationed there, resisting the invasion of Dark Aretha day and night, so their faith was honed and they began to advance at an alarming rate.

True believers are promoted to pious believers, pious believers are promoted to fanatics, and the souls of fanatics also have a tendency to qualitatively change into the Holy Spirit.

It is precisely because of this group of strong-willed and pure believers who continuously provide faith and power to the sanctuary that the Vattar sect can block the revenge attack of Dark Aretha.

The sect, the believers, and the Sanctuary form a closed loop. There is no way to break them down one by one. They can only be destroyed as a whole, but this requires extremely powerful strength.

Unless you have such power, this is still an unsolvable closed loop.

Does Ronin possess such power?

"It looks okay!"

Looking at the shining sanctuary, Luo Ning smiled softly, and turned to Serena and Christine in the back seat: "I will rush in from the front, and you will snipe outside, you can shoot whoever you like, as long as you don't shoot I'll do."

Serena: "..."

Christine: "..."

The two were silent for a while, without saying anything, they got out of the car silently, took out the weapon box from the trunk, and began to assemble the sniper rifle.

This sniper rifle is a standard weapon produced by Luo Ning in the weapon workshop according to the design drawings. Although it is only of dark blue quality, its lethality is no less than that of silver quality firearms, and even exceeds it. It is suitable for two people to snipe.

Ronin stood by the car, waiting for the two to finish assembling the weapon, while observing the situation of the church sanctuary.

In fact, there was nothing to observe. The power in the sanctuary directly blocked Luo Ning's spiritual perception. He couldn't judge how many believers there were and how strong the believers were.

Not only the spiritual perception, but also the sensory perception of the five senses was affected, the vision was blocked by the bright brilliance, and the sense of hearing was also filled with the high-pitched hymn, and there was even an urge to join it.

The situation is unknown, so entering rashly is not a wise choice.

Luo Ning observed for a while, but still found nothing, so he simply snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

With the sound of snapping fingers, illusory lights and shadows converged, forming a human figure that was no different from that of Luo Ning.

True mirror image!

Luo Ning took out a bomb from the storage space, poured it into the magic power and threw it into the hand of the mirror image.

The mirror image took the bomb and walked towards the church sanctuary without saying a word.

This bomb is a black technology product of BPRD, and its power is extremely terrifying. Coupled with the magical effect of Luo Ning's concentration, it can even cause great damage to the legend.

Of course, this is only a theoretical result. It is impossible for a legend-level transcendent to stand there and blow you up. Only in this kind of battle can Luo Ning's hand be effective.

Ronin's mirror image hugged the bomb, and rushed towards the sanctuary of the church as if death was at home, ready to detonate at any time.

but don't want to...

Just after the mirror image rushed into the sanctuary, the magic power built in the body collapsed and disappeared as a stream of light. The bomb also fell, and the dark red magic power was no longer flickering.

Forbidden!

This sanctuary repels all external forces, and Ronin's magic power is also in it, so the mirror image constructed by this magic power collapses as soon as it enters the sanctuary.

Human Bomb - Failed!

"It's really not that simple."

Luo Ning shook his head, turned to Serena and Christine, and said: "It seems that we can only attack by force, prepare to act, and adapt to the situation."

"Um!"

Serena and Christine nodded, each looking for a sniper position holding a sniper rifle.

Luo Ning also stepped to the front of the church, facing the statue of the Virgin, pulled off the Holy Prison on his back with his backhand, stepped forward, and gathered strength.

at the same time……

In the sanctuary of the church, a woman stood quietly on the high platform, and below the high platform were devout singing believers, and the almost substantial faith power gushed out with the hymns, continuously pouring into the sanctuary.

The woman looked down at the believers below, there was no wave on her delicate face, but the young man standing beside her was pale and frightened: "That's him, he's here!"

It was Vincent!

The bait that was deliberately let go did not bring any return to Ronin, and the hunter's mark Ronin put on him lost its effect after he returned to Silent Hill.

Therefore, Luo Ning did not know that Vincent was in this sanctuary and was a core member of the Notre Dame faction.

Facing Vincent's panic, the woman remained indifferent, and said in a low voice: "Evil has attracted even more evil beings, darkness is eroding our sanctuary, and now someone must make a sacrifice to complete the 21 sacraments , lead the great Virgin to come to the world, and expel evil and darkness."

After all, the woman lowered her eyes, looked at the believers below the high platform, and said, "Who is willing to sacrifice for this?"

As soon as the words fell, the singing stopped immediately. The silent crowd all took a step forward and showed their attitude to the woman.

"very good!"

The woman nodded in satisfaction, and said: "You are the most devout believers, my lord will lead you into God's eternal paradise, where you will gain a new life, an immortal new life!"

After all, the woman stretched out her hand and said holyly and compassionately, "Let God choose His believers now."

As soon as the words fell, twenty blood-colored rays of light shone down on the dome of the sanctuary, covering twenty-one believers respectively, and Vincent was among them.

"no no!"

The bloody light made Vincent's complexion pale instantly, and he stepped back in horror, shouting repeatedly: "I don't want to, I don't want to die, mother, don't, don't..."

"Vincent, my child, God has chosen you!"

The woman came back to her senses, smiled and said to Vincent: "This is your honor, and it is also my honor. You should not escape."

"No, no, I don't want it!"

Vincent took a few steps back and exclaimed in surprise: "They are all willing, why didn't you choose them, but me, I don't want it, I don't want it... woo!"

"This is God's choice!"

The woman looked indifferent, and directly blocked Vincent's words, saying: "No one can violate God's will, no one!"

After finishing speaking, the woman waved her hand, and the 20 believers who were selected below immediately stepped forward, picked up Vincent, who was stiff and unable to move, and walked straight to the sacrament room behind.

"..."

Vincent, who was struggling weakly, was lifted up by twenty believers, and walked past the woman. The eyes of both sides met, one was in pain and despair, the other was calm and indifferent.

Vincent is very clear about what will greet him next. It is the core ceremony of the Notre Dame sect, which requires 21 people to sacrifice and cooperate with a series of materials such as the soul of the sinner and the heart of the deceased to complete the final ceremony——21 Saints present!

Through this ceremony, the Virgin can temporarily descend to the world and purify all darkness and impurity.

Since the establishment of the sanctuary, the Notre Dame faction has only used the 21st sacrament twice in the early stage, when it was not firmly established, to repel the fierce attack of the dark Aretha on the sanctuary.

Now that the 21 sacraments are enabled again, it can be seen that the Mary School attaches great importance to Ronin.

Ignoring Vincent's eyes of despair and hatred, the woman turned around, looked down at the many believers below, and said with compassion: "The sacrament is about to begin, and the Holy Mother is about to come. Now, we offer our most devout faith, the last Pious hymn, welcome the coming of our Lord."

"My lord...!!!"

Everyone lowered their heads, clasped their fists in front of their chests, and made a gesture of faith, singing pious hymns in their mouths, ignoring the strange sound coming from the sacrament room.

21 Sacrament—Officially Opened!

at the same time……

Outside the sanctuary of the church, the power of the sword was close to the limit. Luo Ning stepped forward and sank, holding the Holy Prison behind him. The surging magic power poured into the sword, condensing into a fierce sword energy, ready to go!

In this way, the church sanctuary still did not respond.

"drink!"

Luo Ning was not polite, he let out a deep drink, and burst into flames, the flames of hell spewed out, intensifying the power of this extreme sword energy in an instant, and slashed at the statue of the Virgin guarding in front of the church.

"boom!"

The dark red sword energy was cut out, and a shocking sword mark was drawn in the void. The sharp edge, which could even shatter the space, hit the statue of the Virgin, causing a loud bang.

Loud noises roared, dust and smoke filled the air, and countless wounds were opened on the ground. Only the sanctuary of the church was not affected, and it was still shining brightly, like the scorching sun.

In front of the sanctuary, the fog gradually cleared, revealing a tall, graceful, charming figure.

She was wearing a bright red gauze, under which there was not an inch of thread, only a huge black python was entangled, and in the long golden red hair, a pair of curved horns extended, shining with a strange light.
