Chapter 640
Many people were unable to react to such a sudden attack, and Shirley, who was busy quarreling with others, was no exception.
When she came to her senses, she saw that the attack was about to hit Elena. She was sweating from her forehead. She raised her shield and wanted to use her skills. At this distance and at this time, it seemed that she could not catch up.
Holding the holy sword in front of her, Elena's eyes were sharp. She was not about to be taken down by the opponent's sneak attack. From the beginning, she was alert to the people around her.
Bang!
But what people didn't expect was that a burst of light blocked Elena's front. A long sword condensed by holy light perfectly blocked Woodrow's attack, and his attack didn't touch Elena at all.
The person who intercepted these attacks was Sophia, who was indifferent from the beginning. It was undoubtedly the first time for her to protect someone.
What surprised people the most was her strength. Those who stayed here were all brave candidates selected from ten thousand. They were quite reliable in terms of strength and courage.
Facing Woodrow's full-strength attack, Sophia simply blocked it with one hand, holding the lightsaber in her hand. Her action looked extremely casual, as if she didn't take such an attack seriously at all.
Everyone was still amazed at her attack, but Sophia raised her left hand that was not holding the sword, and saw the holy light condensed in her left hand, and a hand crossbow made of pure holy light appeared.
She raised her hand and shot, and several arrows of light attacked Woodrow, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and her accuracy was also amazing.
A total of five arrows were shot, the first four arrows hit Woodrow's limbs respectively, and the last arrow hit Woodrow's right chest.
All this happened in just a short moment, Woodrow had no time to react at all, and he was seriously injured in the blink of an eye.
It was only Sophia who showed mercy. With the means she showed at this moment, it was entirely possible to kill Woodrow instantly. Her strength far exceeded those brave candidates on the scene.
Obviously, Sophia is as old as the other candidates for the hero, but now it seems that her strength is not on the same level as theirs.
As the saint of the church, she seems to have a lot of resources, so it is understandable that she has such strength.
However, there must be a lot of Sophia's own efforts and talents. This girl who likes to wear a hypocritical mask is far more complicated than imagined.
After all, she is a saint, and it is reasonable that she should be specialized in treatment, but Sophia seems to have broken this inherent label. At least the combat power she has shown now is not low at all.
"Since the hero has been born, our church will definitely help him from today. Don't think about hurting the hero in front of me. If the hero is touched by a hair, it will be my dereliction of duty as a saint."
Sophia stopped in front of Elena and said seriously. This time she was not saying polite words, all of which were her true thoughts.
"If the hero dies, will you still support her?"
Woodrow, who was lying on the ground, was helped up by Athena with difficulty. The arrows hit his body but disappeared in the blink of an eye, and no blood flowed out. These wounds looked scary, but most of them were just minor injuries.
However, Athena didn't care so much. She looked at Sofia with an angry look from just now. If she hadn't been defeated, she would have rushed over with a spear.
Sofia didn't reply, but her behavior and acquiescence were undoubtedly that the hero died and the devil still needed to be dealt with. Therefore, if Elena, as the current hero, got into trouble, both the church and other countries would look forward to the birth of the next hero.
As candidates, Woodrow and others would become the priority of various countries.
Many people also realized this, subconsciously licked their lips, and looked at Elena with murderous eyes.
It seems that becoming a hero does not mean that you can rest assured. There will definitely be no less assassinations against heroes from now on, and the pressure Elena will bear will only be more than before.
"I advise you to put away the dirty thoughts in your heart. The church will do its best to protect the hero. You'd better not try to cause the church's anger.
And if no one stands up to face the devil in the end, you will become the biggest sinner of mankind!"
Sophia warned, but she didn't know whether it was the rules or for some other reason, she didn't want to take action to get rid of the hero candidates here.
If it was replaced by a more stable but more ruthless person, I'm afraid none of the hero candidates here would survive.
After all, facing the threat of slashingThe best way is to root out the weeds. In this holy land where no one can reach out, if all the hero candidates die here, they can also use the excuse that the holy land is in danger and all of them are sacrificed.
Even if people from other countries outside ask about this matter, the church has the confidence to deal with it. Even if they are suspicious, there is nothing they can do here.
Putting everything aside, the size of the church alone is not something that ordinary countries can shake. With the righteousness of protecting heroes, no matter how excessive the church does, others will not have the temper to say anything.
"Haha, let's wait and see."
With the help of Athena, Woodrow stood up. Since he couldn't become a hero now, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
With Sofia and the old white dragon who had been staring at him since just now, he couldn't kill Elena no matter what he said.
The first priority now is to return to his base camp, recuperate and make future plans while recuperating. The assassination of Elena must be arranged.
This made Elena's companions very angry. They knew that this person would do everything he could to harm Elena after returning, but they had no way to kill him with this reason. After all, they could not be cruel enough to do such a thing. No one knew whether Woodrow was just talking nonsense, even if there was a high probability that he would really do such a wicked thing.
If Elena was here, it would be fine. With his character, if he was involved in the people around him, he would probably attack Woodrow directly after carefully considering the pros and cons.
This move was probably to the extent of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces. Even if someone came to the holy land to look for clues, they would definitely not find any evidence of his action.
Helplessly, everyone could only watch Woodrow leave. There were other brave candidates who left with him. They all had complicated expressions on their faces. I am afraid that they would make more plans for Elena after returning.
Only a few brave candidates and their companions stayed where they were. They were still thinking about the giant-armed baboon outside. They had no intention of harming Elena, but simply wanted to follow Sofia out.
