In Paradise on Earth, near the projection of the Radiance Church …
Led by Saint Melmax, the captain of the Temple Knight Legion, the thirteen Grand Cardinals reached Renstadt through the massive transmission magic circles.
Because of the attraction of the extraordinary power in the transmission magic circles, they were pulled into Paradise on Earth together. They felt that their strength had been improved. The level-one legendary saint cardinal felt that his standard had been improved by sixty percent, and Melmax, who was at the peak of his power, only had a slight improvement.
When the massive transmission magic circles were activated just now, Mecantron reported the general situation. He said that queen Natasha tricked Sardes into leaving, and Richard intentionally turned off the divine power defense circles of the Radiance Church that could resist top legends for several minutes. As the Church's control over the area on the opposite side of the Storm Strait, the divine power defense circles of the church were basically half-activated. No legend could approach it without raising the wariness inside.
Without the divine power defense, the Radiance Church was naturally controlled by the Congress of Magic very soon. Thankfully, a certain devoted red robe summoned the Angel King at the cost of his life. Seeing that the situation was so dangerous, the Angel King simply arrived in person and protected the massive transmission magic circles with his unique 'God's Guard' until the reinforcements arrived. Therefore, Melmax and the rest of them were not dazed after they arrived.
The waves and illusionary colors that did not seem to belong to this world quickly disappeared. Mecantron and the Grand Cardinals dispersed, in case they were attacked by the legendary sorcerers.
A natural and harmonious scene appeared. Douglas' "Land of Truth" had arrived. Brilliant stars lit up in the sky one after another, and the enormous gravitational force twisted the entire space.
Mecantron's thirty-six wings flapped, and a profound and mysterious book appeared in his hands. The projection of Mountain Paradise behind him suppressed the 'gravity cage' of the Land of Truth to a certain range.
Opening the book, Mecantron said in a low voice, "Light of Judgment."
On his wings, on the projection of Mountain Paradise, and on his book, the light of order and solemnity burst out at the same time, as if they were weighing everything.
Sinners, receive the fairest judgment!
The darkness was gone. All the chaos and supernatural powers were gone. The Light of Judgment judged everything like a sharp sword. With the help of Paradise on Earth, even Fernando and the rest of them felt that their souls were repenting.
Douglas was not scared of Mecantron at all. Unless he ran into him in Mountain Paradise, he would only be at the peak of legendary even if he came in person. As a sorcerer, he was confident that he could face any enemy of that level.
"Space's favor."
The space was twisted layer by layer, and Mecantron's "Light of Judgment" was weakened layer by layer.
The dispersing power made the ocean of holy light of 'Paradise on Earth' turbulent, raising a storm and a tsunami. It seemed that it would be completely destroyed before long.
Seeing that he was outnumbered and stronger, Melmax, the Holy Avenger, did not help the Angel King to fight the Emperor of Arcana. Instead, he planned to annihilate the evil sorcerers one by one!
At this moment, Fernando stood in his way. The ocean of holy light of half of Renstadt was suddenly dyed in darkness. It was both like an ocean before a storm and a terrifying magnetic field that enshrouded everything.
In the sky, dense clouds were gathered, and world-destroying lightning struck at Melmax. The terrifying heat and the coldness that was close to absolute zero appeared alternately around him, shaking everything.
"Has he advanced into the peak of legendary?"
Faced with such dominance, Melmax was rather solemn. He had no intention of helping anybody else anymore.
Covered in the silver holy armor, he raised the longsword in his hand.
The longsword that was emitting holy light seemed to contain the power to suppress all evils. All the evils that did not belong to this world would be eliminated by it.
The longsword that was named after Melmax was one of the only thirteen level-four legendary items!
The heat and the coldness seemed to be dispelled around Melmax, but the ice on his armor and the burn marks suggested that he was not as relaxed as he appeared to be.
"Go to hell, evil!"
With the blood power of 'Dawn', a sun rose behind him, driving away the depression of the coming storm and dimming the lightning.
There were twelve Grand Cardinals left in the Church, four of whom were saints: Anasta, Maria, Augusta, and Anthony. The Congress of Magic, on the other hand, only had three grand arcanists, six legendary sorcerers, and one City in the Sky left. They seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Oliver, the Hand of Annihilation, was fighting Saint Anthony, the Night Watcher. Hellen, the Witch of Iceland, blocked Saint Maria. The Eye of Curse, the Prophet, the Light of Stars, the Sun King, Absolute Defense, and the Master of Alchemy were fighting the six saint cardinals and the divine Knight in different directions. They were far away from each other, fearing that the pope who came later would sacrifice himself and kill them together.
The battle of the legends made Paradise on Earth shake violently. It seemed that it would soon be destroyed.
The other two saints, Anasta and Augusta, communicated with Astira and Varantine through telepathic bond. They decided that Saint Anasta would deal with Hathaway, Astira would take care of Allyn, and Augusta and Varantine would work together to deal with the Light of Stars, who was the weakest of them all. They would take care of the other legendary sorcerers one by one and make sure that their last strike would be something like Light of Judgment.
Suddenly, a cold voice came.
"Luxury Cracking."
Crack, crack, crack, crack. The divine items on the four Grand Cardinals were broken one after another, and the effects of the divine spells disappeared one after another.
After a loud bang, the amulet of the Lord of Wind that Astira, the weakest level-one saint cardinal, was wearing was blown into pieces. Strong wind was blowing out.
His eyes turned red. That was the only legendary item he had!
The ninth-circle spell, Cracking (Advanced), had a one percent chance of shattering a legendary item, and its advanced spell, Luxury Cracking (Advanced), had a ten percent chance at most. Was he that unlucky?
Anasta's face turned serious.
"She has also reached the peak of legendary!"
"She's more powerful than you. No wonder the Congress of Magic dares to start a war!"
Hathaway's Element Paradise arrived and stalled the two saints. However, since she had just reached the peak of legendary, it was still a bit difficult for her to deal with the two level-three saint cardinals.
Varantine, on the other hand, was about to join the fight against the Light of Stars when he found himself in a world full of fog. Raventi and the other archmages controlled Allyn to descend and expand the range of the magic lock, trapping him inside.
Astira and Arzaro were dealing with the Light of Stars together. However, the sorcerers' spells were so strange that there was nothing they could do.
Raventi and the rest of the Grand Cardinals were anxiously waiting for the return of Brook, the Emperor of Control. As a top legendary who had reached the peak of legendary many years ago, Brook's participation was an important factor that could crush the Church.
Melmax, who had pushed the Lord of Storm to the defensive position, was preventing other people from destroying the massive transmission magic circles. By the time His Holiness summoned other Grand Cardinals and legendary Knights that could be deployed, the Congress' plan would be ruined. Also, it was possible that His Holiness would come in advance instead of waiting for other people after receiving the order.
Since the massive transmission magic circles were not in use for now, they gradually retreated from the ocean of holy light. Until Paradise on Earth was broken, nobody could attack it. As a result, Hathaway, who planned to suppress the two saints with weird spells so that she could spare some time to destroy the transmission magic circles, failed.
… …
After Sardes entered the Nekso Palace, the wings on his back that looked like seraphs flapped softly, allowing him to pass through the barriers one after another and reach the central area of the Nekso Palace, which was the boundary of the inner defense.
Then, he chanted in a low voice without any hesitation:
"Light of Judgment!"
Different from what Mecantron performed, the seven-floored Mountain Paradise appeared in his eyes and congregated into the light of power that could decide life and death.
If I say you're guilty, you're guilty!
Under the light, the inner defense was cracking, as if it couldn't last long. Also, Sardes had blocked the area with the senses of faith. He would be able to detect Natasha the moment she attempted to escape. Also, he blocked the teleportation to the outside world with the space anchor in case Natasha got scrolls such as' Chaos Teleportation 'and' Portal to Alternate Realm 'from the Congress of Magic.
At the periphery of the Nekso Palace, a man in his thirties who had a mustache constricted his pupils violently. He was about to stop Sardes.
But at this moment, a tall old man appeared before him. His hair seemed to be even whiter than before.
"Winston, let's wait and see. We'll decide whether to follow the Church or the Congress later." Said Kritonia briefly.
Winston frowned. "What about Her Majesty?"
"There are other kings even if Her Majesty is gone. There's no need to take the risk recklessly." Kritonia replied indifferently, "You should know her relationship with the Congress of Magic very well. If you save her, it means that you will join the Congress completely. Are you sure?"
Winston fell silent.
Boom! The inner layer of defense held on for more than ten seconds before finally collapsing. Sardes stepped into Natasha's bedroom.
Natasha had already put on the Armor of Holm. The silver color added the air of slaughter to her valiance. Before her was a silver longsword that had no patterns but only indifference and ruthlessness.
The moment she saw Sardes, her eyes constricted, and she shouted angrily, "Grand Cardinal Sardes, you …"
Sardes did not waste any time on her. He launched another Light of Judgment, not giving her any hope of resurrection.
Under the Light of Judgment, the front half of the palace was obliterated. Natasha, however, suddenly picked up the longsword and stood before her. Her eyes filled with determination, she blocked the Light of Judgment without any hesitation.
Kacha, after a crisp sound, the Light of Judgement scattered in all directions, and the longsword lit up with a blinding light.
Level eight? No. She was a level-nine gold Knight!
Sardes had heard before that the Sword of Truth contained the secrets of the bloodline to advance into epic. As long as one grasped it and understood the rules of its operation, it would be possible for them to become an epic Knight. It was obvious that Natasha reached level eight at least a year ago and grasped the Sword of Truth. That was why she was able to advance into level nine!
"Sardes, so, it was all your scheme! You want His Holiness to wage a war against the Congress of Magic in advance so that he would exhaust God's Arrival and die, don't you? You want to sit on the throne of the pope! " Natasha stared at Sardes with her silver eyes. Her body was slightly bent, like a leopard that was ready to attack.
Sardes sniffed. "Even if you know it, so what? Don't think that you can stop a real legend with the Sword of Truth. What's the point of talking nonsense? "
While talking, he split into four shadows and performed different divine powers from different directions. The legendary divine power 'Light of Judgment', the level-nine divine powers' Vengeful Storm ',' Energy Absorption ', and the level-eight divine power' Earthquake ', hoping to kill Natasha as soon as possible.
"Nonsense?" Natasha chuckled.
"Nonsense?
At the same time, a gentle voice echoed. A white-haired, ordinary-looking old man wearing a holy crown and holding a platinum staff slowly appeared. He seemed to have torn apart space directly.
Sardes' divine powers, on the other hand, collapsed on their own under his voice.
Sardes' pupils constricted.
"Your Holiness!"
Plan III: If Sardes circumvented his promise in another way, he would immediately ask Natasha to contact Benedict II through the secret channel!
If they were in cahoots, he would switch to Plan IV and play the trump cards that he had prepared beforehand to reverse the situation and continue with the following steps. If the pope was deceived but did not trust Natasha, he would also switch to Plan IV. If the pope chose to wait, he would confirm Sardes' whereabouts as soon as possible and reveal the teleportation fulcrum that Lucien modified for Natasha's escape to the pope so that he, as a demigod, could observe the situation here through the fulcrum and arrive directly through space!
It was like a Portal to Alternate Realm that had been deployed for a long time, except that it could not break Sardes' space anchor without corresponding power!
