Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

wrong!

Although the other party is 'Father Pucci', he is not the real person, but a 'shadow' born from the cognition of the owner of this palace.

But then his expression became even uglier.

After all, since the 'Father Pucci' in front of him is the 'Palace Master's' man, he must be an enemy!

Although according to Lan Ke's observation, perhaps due to the mixing of multiple worlds, the life trajectories of some people in this world have changed, but their abilities will not disappear.

As one of the BOSSes in the JOJO series, the opponent's strength is definitely not weak!

Unfortunately, before he could continue to remind him, several "cat fairy" guards had already approached "Puchi".

Don't be fooled by the small size of these "cat fairies" who look very cute, they are very ruthless when they take action.

Because of his height, the cat fairy holding a gun had the tip of his gun pointed directly at Puchi's lower abdomen. If he was stabbed, he would either die or be injured.

The cat fairy holding a long sword attacked Pucci's right leg directly, obviously intending to cut off his mobility first;

The last cat fairy, holding two swords, stepped on his teammate's shoulders and jumped into the air, holding the two swords with his hands backwards and chiseling towards Pucci's face...

These cat fairies have perfect chemistry.

But the strange thing is that 'Father Pucci' turned a blind eye to the attacks and just recited strange scriptures.

"I came not to bring peace but a sword"

As the other party finished speaking, Lan Ke suddenly remembered something in his mind for some reason.

This sentence seems to come from Matthew 10:34.

Lan Ke didn't know why he suddenly thought of this. After all, he was not interested in these things at all. Before, when he went to the church, he was more interested in the "nun" besides inquiring about the news. Naturally, it was impossible for him to read "The Gospel of Matthew".

But why did I suddenly think of this?

But this moment of hesitation caused the situation on the scene to change drastically.

Father Pucci, who had become the "fish meat" and was facing the "knife and chopping board", suddenly waved his hand, and his right arm seemed to be attached by light. The three "cat fairies" who tried to attack him were directly cut in half and turned into pieces.

"Mr. Guard!!!"

Seeing the guards protecting her being killed instantly, Emilia couldn't help but let out a cry of grief.

On the contrary, the cat fairy leader guarding her was extremely calm. Even though he was gritting his teeth because his comrades were killed, he still reached out to stop Emilia from moving forward.

"Your Highness! Please retreat immediately! Everyone, follow me to stop the enemy!"

It was only then that Parker, who was confronting the attacker, finally reacted.

The reason why the other party dared to attack him at this time was that he had found other helpers!

Unfortunately, even if the consciousness realized this, it could do nothing, because as 'Father Pucci' attacked, the 'attacker''s' offensive became more and more fierce, leaving it no chance to return for help!

As he watched Parker's expression grow increasingly ferocious, Roswaal A. Metsas's smile grew even more brazen.

"Beast! Give the 'Princess' back to me!"

Chapter 85 Because——I like it!!

Father Pucci's right arm seemed to transform into a blade of light, and neither weapons nor armor could stop it. After sacrificing the lives of several "guards", everyone present finally realized the difference in strength between the two sides.

But at this moment, Father Pucci spoke again.

"I have no intention of killing too many people. If Her Highness the Princess is willing to go with me, then there is no need for me to fight with you all."

Father Pucci's voice was low but seemed to have a strange magic that made people unconsciously convinced.

Emilia, who was protected by the cat fairies, instinctively clenched her fists. Then, she, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke as if she had made up her mind.

"You will keep your promise, right?"

"Your Highness?!"

Before Father Pucci could speak, the captain of the guard, the cat fairy, could not help but interrupt her loudly.

"Princess! Our duty is to protect you! If you sacrifice yourself for us, then our sacrifice will be meaningless!!"

Looking at the guard captain gritting his teeth, Emilia shook her head and put her hand on his shoulder.

"I know, but such sacrifice is meaningless."

As Emilia spoke, she turned her head to look at Parker, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy in the distance.

"'Father' is currently unable to defeat the enemy. Even if everyone sacrifices themselves, it won't buy much time..."

Although they knew Emilia was trying to protect them, her words at that moment were like a knife piercing the hearts of the guards.

As a 'princess', 'Emilia' is not only favored by their 'king', but she is also very kind and is loved by the cat fairies, not to mention their guards.

Everyone was ready to sacrifice themselves to protect the princess, just like their predecessors.

In the past, they only needed to hold the enemy back until Parker pulled away, but this time, not only was the enemy trying their best to hold Parker back, but they couldn't even hold the newly appeared enemy back...

"Stab~!"

The long sword was swung so violently that the captain of the guard almost bit his lip, but he still shook his head firmly.

"Even so! The enemy will have to step over our corpses if they want to abduct Her Highness the Princess!"

"Watch out Princess!!"

After saying this, the other party once again confronted Father Pucci with a rapier in hand.

Seeing this, Father Pucci sighed helplessly, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis behind him.

He almost instinctively swung the light blade in his right hand and slashed it behind him, and then he saw a strange bird-beak mask and a long staff flashing with dangerous light.

After the long staff collided with the light blade, it neither cut the staff directly like before, nor did it make a metal collision sound like normal weapons. Instead, the two sides were deadlocked.

However, Lan Ke, who has rich combat experience, will not insist on hand-to-hand combat.

Almost at the moment when the two sides were in a stalemate, a majestic and huge lion head appeared behind him and then bit towards the head of "Father Pucci"!

If I bite hard enough, I might be able to bite off its head directly!

'Father Pucci' naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He first kicked Lan Ke and at the same time pushed towards Lan Ke with all his strength!

Lan Ke was not afraid of the opponent's kick, but the sudden burst of force made Lan Ke stagger violently.

As a result, the Lion's attack failed.

But at least it was temporarily forced back.

Looking at Father Pucci's right arm turning into a blade of light, Lan Ke also retreated to the side of the guards.

"Princess Emilia, I know you want to protect everyone, but please open your eyes and see clearly who your opponent is!"

Emilia, who was about to thank Lan Ke, was stunned for a moment when Lan Ke suddenly called out her name.

However, Lan Ke did not pay attention to the changes in her expression, but focused all his attention on the "Father Pucci" in front of him. After all, he had just gained some advantages by relying on sneak attacks, and his opponent was not an easy enemy to deal with.

But he didn't stop talking.

"This man isn't one to keep his word. Even if you tie your own hands, he won't let anyone else go. The only reason he said that is because he can't maintain his current state for much longer and he just wants to conserve his energy."

Lan Ke's words were certainly not nonsense.

JOJO is a work that is quite old, and Lan Ke liked it very much in his previous life.

Moreover, he not only likes the JOJOs who are the protagonists, but also the villains. However, his love for the villains is basically the kind of "I like them so much that I wish they would die."

This happens because the villains in each generation have very distinctive personalities.

For example, DIO's purity, Kaz's strength, Kira Yoshikage's paranoia, Diablo's caution, and...Father Pucci's meanness!

The other party seems to be a decent character at first glance, but in fact the means he uses are extremely despicable.

What's more important is that compared to DIO's frankness, he always likes to cover up his evil deeds with various reasons.

So he may be successful as a villain, but among all the bosses in history, he is also the one that Lan Ke dislikes the most.

Lan Ke absolutely did not believe the other party's reason of 'not wanting to kill too many people'.

In addition to this subjective reason, Lan Ke also has some objective basis.

While theoretically, if the 'Hall Master' favors summoning abilities, then perhaps he could summon even stronger subordinates, the problem is that according to existing intelligence, the owner of this hall has never displayed any 'summoning' abilities, so this helper must be the result of a change in his 'cognition'...

and many more? !

Doesn't that mean 'Father Pucci' has appeared nearby, and has even met with 'Roswaal Z. Mezas'?!

Lan Ke's expression suddenly became extremely ugly!

Now it seems that not only is the "Palace Strategy" encountering difficulties, but even the situation outside is not very good.

However, I don’t know whether this is good news or bad news, but ‘Kudo Shinichi’ is here too.

The good news is that with Kudo Shinichi around, the damage Father Pucci can cause should be limited to a minimum. But the bad news is, with Kudo Shinichi around, who knows if another murder will occur?!

If the 'Hall Master' dies suddenly again, Lan Ke will definitely go Spartan!!

No!

We must split up our forces later!!

Let Shirou go outside to help watch, we must not let anything happen to our target again!!!

Thinking of this, Lan Ke looked at Father Pucci with an even more ferocious look.

It was so ferocious that even Father Pucci, who was standing before him through his mask, could sense it.

Compared to the hostile Lan Ke, the 'Father Pucci' in front of him showed confusion and curiosity.

"Who are you? You look like you have nothing to do with these 'beasts'. Why are you stopping us? And... this should be the first time I've met you, right? Why do you harbor such hostility towards me?"

Looking at the polite Father Pucci, Lan Ke didn't want to waste any words. He decisively gave himself a "Demon Power" and then grabbed the cane and stabbed it straight.

As expected, the cane was blocked by the "light blade" again, and it was only then that Lan Ke spoke again.

“Because—I like it!!”

After saying that, Lan Ke raised his foot and kicked the other party. At the same time, 'Krupo Krupo', who was standing on Lan Ke's shoulder at some point, also tried to lift the leaves in his hand.

An invisible ripple then radiated towards Father Pucci.

Although he was not hurt at all, Father Pucci's intuition told him that this was very bad!

In fact, it is true, this is 'Skunda'.

In the game, the hit rate and avoidance rate of the opponent will be reduced, which means that the attack will easily go off target and it will be difficult to dodge the enemy's attack in reality.

And this is not the end. After the release of "Skunda", Lan Ke also recalled "Krupokru" and switched his "personality mask" to "Angel".

Although the 'Angel' does not have any debuff, it can impose the negative state of 'Forgotten' on the target.

But Lan Ke obviously overlooked one thing.

That is, although what 'Father Pucci' did had nothing to do with being a 'priest', as a 'once devout believer', even if it was just a 'shadow', he was still greatly shaken when he saw the 'angel'.

Especially the strange attire of the 'angel' had a huge impact on his spirit!

"!!!"

However, although it was somewhat unexpected, Lan Ke would not miss this opportunity!

When he noticed that Father Pucci's eyes suddenly widened and his attention was attracted by the "angel", Lan Ke also let out a low chuckle.

“Yaha!!”

'Angel' is a personality mask of 'holy attribute', so naturally it cannot use attacks of 'curse attribute'. Even the other two personality masks carried by Lan Ke cannot be used. But don't forget that Lan Ke has another 'helper'.

I saw a terrifying aura coming out from Lan Ke’s cane.

The cursed energy instantly reacted violently with the 'holy light blade' in Father Pucci's right hand.

It's like dropping cold water into boiling oil.

“Sizzle~!!”

Along with the strange sound, a bright smile appeared on Lan Ke's face under the mask.

really!

Although he didn't know how Father Pucci pulled off that bizarre attack, he believed it was based on Holy Energy. Since Holy Energy and Curse Energy counteracted each other, the key question now was which of the two was stronger!
