Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 239: The Second Demon God
Helena drove to the second destination of this trip; it was a barren plain between mountains. The once prosperous livestock town had long been in decline. A simple road passed through the mountains not far away, becoming the only access to the outside world.

Beside the highway, there is a long-abandoned church ruin. Like the town, it was built because of animal husbandry, and it also declined because of animal husbandry until it was abandoned.

When Lin You saw the ruins of the church, his brows were furrowed, because the scene here gave him a strong sense of déjà vu, and his memory of the movie became vivid again.

There was no need for Helena to inquire about the news or look around. When she activated the divinity of the shroud for the first time beside the ruins of the church and the dark red light illuminated the ruins, she saw a very similar light emerging from under the wooden floor.

"Found it." Helena cheered and rushed towards the light. But Lin You suddenly stepped forward to block the way, and pointed the dark wood wand in front of him.

An invisible wall rose up quietly; and almost at the same time, a jet-black javelin shot out from nowhere and pierced directly into the wall created by the "Iron Armor Curse", making a sharp and piercing explosion.

The invisible wall is difficult to see. The javelin is stuck in the wall, as if it is suspended in the air, and the end of the spear is still vibrating. The "buzzing" sound mixed with the echo of the explosion is enough to shake people's hearts.

The dark red light was still swaying above the floor. The light was refracted in different directions through the invisible wall, almost illuminating the entire ruins red.

Helena stood behind Lin You with her limbs stiff, her back soaked with cold sweat. The javelin was hovering less than three feet in front of her, with the tip of the spear pointed at her face. If Earl Goff hadn't stopped it in time, the archaeological expert would have become an "archaeological object" on the spot.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar and a black warhorse suddenly came into the two people's sight; the knight on the horse was strong and wielded a broadsword in his hand, looking very imposing.

The warhorse rushed to the javelin, suddenly raised its front hoof and stomped down heavily; the knight on horseback took advantage of the momentum and swung his sword down.

There was a crisp sound of "crackling", and the invisible wall shattered. The knight and the horse were pushed back by the recoil force. The horse jumped back, its hooves weakened, and it almost sat on the ground. The magic power that lost its magic structure rolled up a gust of wind and dispersed in all directions.

Lin You did not hesitate at all. He held the wooden talisman given by Constantine in his hand and injected magic power into it. For a moment, a bright light appeared.

The black warhorse neighed miserably, its four hooves kept jumping, and it looked restless. The attacking knight also screamed miserably, and without even having time to pick up the javelin that had fallen to the ground, he immediately turned his horse and rode away, not standing still until he had retreated dozens of steps away, and turned around to confront Lin You.

At the same time, Helena screamed and patted Lin You's shoulder hurriedly, motioning him to look behind him; only to see a familiar figure appear behind him at some point - holding a parchment book, looking sometimes male, sometimes female, and erratic.

It was the "penultimate demon god" Dantalen who had come to the door a few days ago. He and the Black Horse Knight attacked from the front and back.

Lin You did not dare to delay. He held the talisman high in his hand and covered himself and Helena with the light of the protective magic circle.

"What a troublesome little brat! I should have gotten rid of you from the beginning." Dantalion said angrily, "Get out of here, kid. We only want the Spear of Longinus. If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly and save your life."

Unfortunately, the second to last demon god didn't know that the boy in front of him would only know his place in front of the real big guys like God. His scolding not only failed to scare Lin You away, but made him deliberately move a few steps closer to the location where the dark red light and shadow floated.

The light of the protective magic circle completely enveloped the center of the ruins, making Dantalen so angry that he jumped to his feet.

"You wanted to get rid of me from the beginning. You controlled the 'Saints' to launch the attack that day, targeting me, right? Otherwise, you could have divided your forces and rushed into the church to attack Ms. Helena while holding me back." Lin You looked around, alert to the enemies in both directions;
"If I were to make a bolder guess, Ms. Helena's treasure hunt was not commissioned by the Vatican Church at all. The real client was you. That's why you wanted to drive me away or kill me, leaving behind an isolated and more controllable archaeologist to search for the Holy Lance for you."

Helena had just recovered from the shock of nearly losing her life, and she couldn't help but refute: "That's impossible. I was commissioned by a cardinal in the Vatican. I have known that person for a long time. He...he..."

The archaeologist was suddenly stuck in the middle of her words, because the cardinal she mentioned suddenly appeared before her eyes, wearing a scarlet robe and standing outside the magic circle with a sneer.

In Helena's astonished gaze, the cardinal's appearance was as blurred and scattered as ripples on the water. When the ripples disappeared and the water returned to calm, it had turned back into the face of the devil Dantalion.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Helena felt as if someone was pinching her neck and she couldn't make a sound.

"This is your last warning. Hand over the Holy Spear." Dantalion said, "Just because I didn't attack the lady last time doesn't mean I will show mercy this time."

As he was talking, there were several crisp "crackling" sounds in the distance, and it turned out that several old wizards in their seventies or eighties appeared. Just like the "saints" who were awakened and released by Lin You before, their eyes were dull and their movements were rigid.

"Huh... the 'saints' that Grindelwald sent to South America were actually captured by you in one fell swoop." Lin You smiled bitterly helplessly.

It is already very difficult to control the wooden talisman to block a demon and a quasi-demon, and having to be distracted to deal with the wizard is really stressful.

"By the way, who is that knight riding the black horse? Won't you introduce yourself?" Lin You tried to delay time.

"Simonli; the sixty-sixth demon." The knight's voice was loud and powerful. As his voice rang out, several black shadows struggled to crawl out from the ground under the black horse's hooves and followed the knight.

"Oh, the seventh from the last, a little stronger than Dantalion." Lin You said sarcastically; seeing that the second to last demon was about to get angry again, he swung the gloomy wooden wand in his hand forward without warning when the other party opened his mouth.

Get started first!
An invisible sharp blade swept towards the controlled "saints".

Although the "saints" were controlled, their fighting skills and experience were not lost; the previous paramilitary management and brutal war training allowed them to forge a tactical understanding that was unparalleled in the entire magical world.

Two "Iron Armor Curses" were cast almost simultaneously, but the invisible walls that were erected were one in front of the other, not interfering with each other but almost close to each other. The thick protective wall successfully blocked the magic blade, and at the same time, the counterattack magic also passed the invisible wall and fell towards Lin You in the center of the ruins.

The battle that the wizard saw broke out quickly and suddenly; but just when Lin You was trying to do two things at once, Xi Mengli raised his hand and pointed at a distance.

The locket on Helena's chest jumped up with a "whoosh", and the chain suddenly tightened, strangling her neck like a noose.

"Little wizard, if you don't want this lady to die, then leave the ruins."
