Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

Blood-colored thorns erupted from Anderson's wounds as if they were alive. White smoke emerged from his body, and his inhuman appearance made Akado bar his fangs and glare at Anderson angrily: "You...you..."

Accardo, holding two pistols, walked towards Anderson aggressively, pointing the guns at Anderson's head: "Incorrigible idiot!"

Anderson moved his arm, and the musket flashed, severing Akado's arm holding the gun.

[Acardo's other hand pulled the trigger, and the powerful bullet hit Anderson's head, blowing off half of his head.]

Blood spurted out of Akado's body, forming a complete arm. Thorns crawled out of Anderson's head and wrapped around it.

Heinkar stares at this scene in shock: "Anderson...what have you become?"

Akado touched his chest and said sadly, "He is no longer human. Only by destroying this place can he finally pass away."

【"heart."】

The holy nail crawled towards Anderson's heart, and thorns grew from his chest, dyeing the blood in his heart red.

Heinkar anxiously shouts, "Father Anderson!"

Yumie screamed in pain, "Father!"

Anderson raises his two musket swords, crossing them to form a cross.

[Acardo raised his two pistols, the black and white pistols overlapping to form an inverted cross shape.]

The battle was about to break out. Anderson and Acardo only attacked and did not defend, leaving each other with fatal injuries. However, both sides had become immortal, and the injuries they inflicted on the other side had no effect at all.

[“He is neither human nor devil… He belongs neither to the day nor to the night…”]

The battle reached a turning point. Akado raised his pistol, and Anderson leaped down first, stabbing Akado's head with his gun sword.

[Acardo knelt on the ground. Countless thorns sprouted from the spot where the musket sword had pierced his body. Flames erupted from Acardo's wound, rapidly spreading in all directions. The river of blood seemed to have turned into gasoline, igniting at a touch. Countless dead bodies became fuel, and in the blink of an eye, the river of blood turned into a river of fire.]

Like a torch, Akado was stabbed into the center of the river of fire by the gunsword, and he was no longer able to move.

Maria Takayama looked at the video stupidly.

Although Anderson killed Accardo, it did make her happy.

But why is it so weird?

Why did Helena's Holy Nail, a Catholic relic, turn into such strange thorns after use?

After the head was blown up, the wriggling flesh turned into bloody thorns to replace the head. The scene was so bizarre that even Alpine Maria was scared.

Alpine Gothic shrugged. "At least we won. What Acardo said is quite interesting. Abandoning his soul to become a monster of God, a vessel for God's power, a wreck of miracles. Is that what he is like? The price of gaining power is to stop being human, to become an immortal monster that doesn't even look like a human?"

Alpine Gothic looked at Anderson, whose body had partly turned into thorns, and then at Akado, whose head was full of eyes, and couldn't help shaking his body.

Becoming a monster is the price of power, so whoever wants it can have it.

Gao Shan Gothic sighed: "Acardo only began to regret after he turned into a monster, but by that time, it was too late to regret, he had already turned into a monster."

"The third Zeppelin-class aerial cruiser, the Arthur Seyβ Inquart, is descending. Communications have been lost, airbag damage has worsened, and lift cannot be maintained."

The Nacui airship crashes to the ground and glides along the city streets, destroying countless buildings.

"The Alfred Rosenberg, the second ship, is on fire. We are unable to contact the landing force. The seventh team has disappeared from radar. All communications have been lost."

"Isn't it that they are all wiped out?"

[“Destroy them all!”]

"What on earth is going on down there?"

"Major!"

"Major, Your Excellency."

"Please give the order, Major!"

The airship headquarters was in chaos. The major was leisurely eating a hamburger. Hearing anxious cries, the major waved his hand and said, "Shut up! The show is just getting to the exciting part. Enjoy it quietly. It's just a few of our troops being wiped out, crying like a girl on her virgin night."

[The major stood up from his seat: "Captain."]

[The captain immediately stood at attention.]

The major said, "Distribute guns and ammunition to the remaining troops on the ship. Give grenades to those who can't stand."

The captain said in panic, "But... the weapons for everyone... are gone."

The major said, "Then use pipes or anything else, anything will do. Arm the troops and assemble them. Once everything is ready, let's charge together. It will be fun, for sure. Let's charge together singing the song 'Horst wessel lied'. It will be fun. Zum letzten mal (In this final battle), wird sturmalarm geblasen (The rallying horn resounds through the sky)..."

[The captain gnashed his teeth, his body trembling.]

[The major turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you singing?"]

The captain angrily said, "Enough is enough. We are not the SS, but the German Navy. We have followed you because of our hatred for Britain. But I have had enough. This is no longer a war. I cannot let my men continue to die!"

The major asked, "Have you yet to understand the essence of struggle? But it doesn't matter. Disobedience is also part of the excitement of war."

[The major turned around, drew his pistol, and fired continuously at the captain.]

The captain held his head in his hands in fear, but none of the bullets hit him. The major spread his hands to the doctor and sighed, "No, doctor, nothing hits."

The doctor sighed helplessly, "Your shooting is still so bad. How did you get into the SS?"

A group of vampire soldiers rushed in from outside, surrounded the captain, and shouted to the major, "Major!"

The major snapped his fingers. "Yeah, shoot them all. They're all defeatists."

The soldiers mercilessly fired bullets at the captain, dozens of bullets turning his body into a web of tatters.

Chapter 174: Akado's Past

"That's not me! I said that's not me! My shooting isn't that bad! It must be a mistake!"

In the computer classroom of Fujimi Academy, Hirano Toda pointed at the computer screen and argued loudly.

Standing around him were special police officers from the countermeasures room. They all looked at Hirano Toda with extreme vigilance, as if they were looking at a man with a mustache.

The captain glanced at the screen and saw the major who had failed to hit him after several shots, which made his face show some hesitation.

He had seen Hirano Toda's marksmanship, which was far superior to his.

Could it be that Hirano Toda is really not a major?

The other students were so frightened they didn't dare to say a word. Takagi Saya stood up and said, "There must be a mistake. That Perwood is Hirano. Doesn't Akashic Record always like to mislead its audience?"

"I don't think many people would consider Hirano-san a major, would they? He's more like General Pedwood than anything else. If we were to deal with Hirano-san rashly, we'd probably cause public outrage."

A calm voice came from outside the door. It was Busujima Saeko.

Busujima Saeko, holding a katana to her chest, had rushed over after discovering that special police had entered the campus to see if she could help her future comrades.

The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "Come back with us first. We will not wrongly accuse any good person, nor will we let any bad person go."

Hirano Toda suddenly jumped up, snatched the captain's pistol, and took the captain hostage and escaped from the school - this is purely imaginary.

This imagination only existed in Hirano Toda's mind for a second.

He felt that if he went back to the countermeasures room, his survival rate would be higher.

"Arm all remaining troops, Lieutenant of the Military Police. Those who disobey orders will be dealt with according to your judgment. You will teach them the true nature of war. Those who come to defeat others must first become unbeatable. Besides, isn't the operation proceeding according to plan? So far in this war, no one has escaped my tiny grasp."

[Captain Bell walked through the burning streets of London as the Major gave his orders.]

"Master!"

【A familiar voice sounded in my ears.】

【"who?"】

"That's what."

[“Who is it?”]

“Ah… that’s… me.”

【Akado returned to his past memories.】

[In the dim corridor, the king grabbed Akado's hair, dragged him into the bedroom, and threw him onto the bed.]

The cross fell out of his arms, and Akado hurriedly grabbed it. He lay on the bed, and the king grabbed his hair, tore his clothes, and pressed him down.

[The bed shook, and Acardo clutched the cross tightly, thinking, "God, I will never ask you for any mercy."]

[The scene changes to a battlefield under the setting sun. Akado, wearing full-body armor, leads a brave cavalry regiment in a charge against the enemy.]

"Fight! Everyone, fight for God! God will not help those who pray for help, nor those who beg for mercy, because that is not prayer, it is just asking God for mercy. Just die. Fighting is prayer. Only after countless prayers will God come, and only then will Jerusalem come."

"Broken, destroyed, shattered, dissipated, at the end of countless prayers, God will descend before pitiful me, before pitiful us, God will descend, descend from heaven."

[The present Akado asked the past Akado: "And then? Did God come? Did Jerusalem come? What happened? Answer me, my lord the king, my lord the mad king, everyone died, everyone died, for you, for your faith, for your paradise, for your God, for your prayers, everyone died. Killed the enemy, killed the companions, killed the subjects to be protected, killed the country to be governed, men and women, old people and children, even you yourself..."]

[Acardo in the past falls on the execution platform, and the executioner with a huge axe walks towards him.]

"What an incorrigible, incorrigible monster, Count."

[Acardo opened his mouth and stretched out his tongue to lick the pool of blood in front of him. When the axe fell, his tongue licked the blood.]

【At the same time, the cross jewelry hanging on the chest shattered.】

[“Even so, if you still don’t want to give up…”]

Yuigahama Yui covered her eyes, her cheeks flushed.

She often heard Ebina talk about things between men, but she was not interested in that kind of thing! She didn't want to see it with her own eyes at all!

Hikigaya Hachiman clicked his tongue and looked at Yuigahama Yui with disdain: "Stop pretending to be innocent. There's nothing in this video that needs mosaics. Compared to what this video really wants to express, the things you're being shy about don't even make up one tenth of it."

Yuigahama Yui glared at Hikigaya Hachiman: "Autistic man!"

Yukinoshita Yukino ignored Yuigahama Yui's anger and Hikigaya Hachiman's disdain and said calmly, "Acardo was once a Christian."

Hikigaya Hachiman said, "The Shield of Christendom is, of course, a Christian. It seems that the king is the king of the Ottoman Empire. I remember that Vlad III was a hostage in the Ottoman Empire when he was about 14 years old. It was probably during this period."

As he spoke, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but sigh: "The former Acardo was very similar to Father Anderson."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly. "He begged Father Anderson not to become a monster like him. Perhaps in Father Anderson, he saw his past self, a fanatical believer in God who asked nothing from Him, fighting for Him to death, and even burying himself and his companions."

Yuigahama Yui interrupted the conversation: "Um, just now when Akado was licking blood, the cross was destroyed. Did he become a vampire at that time?"

Hikigaya Hachiman asked, "Didn't you cover your eyes?"

Yuigahama Yui's face turned red again, of course she didn't cover it completely.

“There was a voice, a voice calling.”

"Master!"

"Who's calling me?"

"Master!"

[Acardo gradually opened his eyes, and Silas's face appeared before him.]

"What...it's you..."

Silas tried to pull out the sword stuck in Akado, but Anderson stopped him. Thorns crawled up Silas's arms, and flames spread to Silas's body. Silas held the sword deep in Akado's body tightly, enduring the burning flames and screaming in pain, but he refused to let go.

Chapter 175 Anderson's Death

Integra stood in the distance, gazing at the flames spreading across the River of Death: "It's burning. His world is about to burn out."

The dead who emerged from the River of Death fell one after another, symbolizing Akado's approach to death. Silas gripped his sword tightly and shouted, "Master! Master!"

A calm voice sounded from behind Silas: "It's very noisy, policewoman. Your voice is still so piercing, like an off-key song."

[Silas shouted in surprise: "Master!"]

Akado opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and placed it over Silas's, then spoke to Anderson in front of him, "Anderson, it's okay for you to defeat me. If it were that day, that dusk in the wilderness, if it were that day five hundred and twenty-three years ago, I would have given you my heart. But now, it's no longer possible. You can no longer defeat me!"

Akado broke the sword that was piercing his heart and said sternly, "Only humans can defeat monsters. If you're not human, it's impossible!"

[Acardo roared, transformed into a beast-like posture, got on all fours, and pounced on Anderson.]

Anderson unleashed countless thorns towards Akado. Akado's hands seemed to transform into sharp claws. He swung them, breaking the surrounding thorns and quickly charging towards Anderson.
