178 095. Judgement of the Heretic -1 Part Two

“Fuu-woo.”

I took out both Amon’s skull and the staff from my item window.

Honestly, I was still feeling light-headed. Even if it was only for a short while, I did use these relics against Kasim, and then there was the fatigue from the long trip to consider as well.

However, I knew for sure that there wouldn’t be any problems dealing with those corrupt Priests over yonder.

“Thirty minutes.” I stared at Charlotte, Alice, and the Verdant Cross currently gathered around me. “I shall finish them off in thirty minutes.”

That was the maximum amount of time I could operate. And it’d also be ample enough time for me to completely annihilate the Church of Caiolium, too.

He’d become my new guardian, as well as my new puppet.

Divinity travelled through the staff and seeped into Kasim Derian’s dead body. The hazy strands of divinity began filling up his empty chest cavity and wrapped around his entire figure.

From now on, the Church of Caiolium would learn the bitter truth.

The truth of who they have unwisely pissed off.

“I am the legion.”

The mountain goat’s skull seemed to suck in my head and grip it tightly.

“And I am Gaia’s inheritor.”

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Kasim’s closed eyes snapped open abruptly.

“We need to escape from here, your eminence!”

“Even if we declare our surrender and repent for our sins now, the Imperial Family will not accept it!”

That was bloody obvious. Killing the influential Imperial Prince who was destined to become the next Holy Emperor was the same thing as declaring their intentions to antagonise the whole Imperial Family.

Right now, the Church’s members were seen as rebels. They were now also labelled as traitors. The entirety of the Theocratic Empire ended up becoming the Church’s enemy in one fell swoop.

Any priest affiliated with the Church of Caiolium was now in danger of being called a heretic and persecuted by the public.

Mikael loudly spoke up, “If we decide to flee, we will not be able to shake off their pursuit.”

In order to safely seek asylum, assistance from another kingdom was a necessity. Fortunately, there was someone who could extend a helping hand toward them.

‘Indeed, there is a perfectly suitable person, isn’t there?’

Mikael pulled out a piece of communique. It contained a report concerning the whereabouts of the ringleader of the conspiracy that the Theocratic Empire was searching high and low for.

‘…Rose Darina.’

The Second Crown Princess Consort was still alive. The report said that she was nestled somewhere within the kingdom of knights, Lome, currently embroiled in a civil war that had lasted for three years already.

She was warped to Aslan, but through the timely assistance of a ‘helper’, she had safely travelled to Lome kingdom.

“As long as we have this, we…!”

-Oh, ooooooooh!

The expressions of the priests and Mikael froze up instantly.

The entirety of the cathedral was resonating. The surrounding air reverberated as a divinity-laden Spirit Speech howled out from somewhere outside.

“What on earth…?!”

The Priests’ complexions grew deathly pale.

Even if the strength of divinity contained within the Spirit Speech was faint, how could it still be able to blanket the whole cathedral?!

“They’re here!”

The punitive force sent by the Imperial Family had arrived.

Cardinal Mikael gritted his teeth and hurriedly left his seat. The other priests urgently followed him from behind. They were heading to a balcony.
