Zero sat there for a while longer, lost in thought. Many things have happened and many things will happen in the future. The battle with Cardinal Hildred was just the beginning of the conflict between him and the Devils. He still had to take care of the mastermind. There were many things that he needed to do. However, right now, he decided to forget all those things and take the time to rest. Being worried was going to yield no result. Anyway, one of the problems was solved and he believed that Saintess…

"I had to listen to Cardinal Hildred or else I would have also ended up dead like all the others." Priestess Helena said. Listening to Priestess Helena, it was certain that she was just someone who got dragged into everything by circumstances. That is if she was telling the truth. One could even sympathize with Priestess Helena as her situation was really not good. A girl who didn't know anything got dragged into one of the biggest conspiracies and she tried to stay alive by just listening to Cardinal…

"So, who are you working for?" Zero directly asked about the mastermind behind all this mess. "... The Lord! I don't know what his real name is but this is what other Devils call him." Priestess Helena answered. Zero was in deep thought. He couldn't remember anyone with that name. He knew the name of most of the Devils who are strong due to the knowledge from the novel but he had not seen anyone with a name or nickname of The Lord. It meant that Hiro and the others never fought with him. It was…

"What are you going to do with me?" she spat out, her voice filled with venom. Zero didn't answer. Cardinal Hildred, who had already lost her mind, seemed to have also lost the sense of fear. She didn't fear and she only had destruction in mind. Even if her head was bleeding or she lost a limb, she wouldn't care. Zero looked at Cardinal coldly. He put his hands on her face and then muttered. Endless Despair, a skill that creates a constant stream of nightmare-like illusions or visions that the…

The Rank-S Holy Knight, which is one of the strongest, was killed immediately. He tried his best to protect himself but in the end, got himself killed. Not only that, Zero's attack made its way toward Cardinal Hildred. Cardinal Hildred was terrified but she didn't stand still. She believed that Zero's attack should have been weakened as a result of Rank-S Holy Knight. Cardinal Hildred conjured a strong barrier. She tried to protect herself with some defensive skills and there was also a Nexus Scepter…

"Zero! She has led the entire Church here!" Saintess Amelia warned. The sheer size of the enemy army was staggering, with over 50 Rank-A Holy Knights and countless lower-ranked ones, totaling nearly 300 soldiers. Normally, the numbers are even higher, however, many had left the Church to go with the Pope. Though still the number was very high. Almost 300 hundred or maybe more. "Haha… You lose!" Cardinal Hildred exclaimed. Cardinal Hildred's taunting laughter filled the room as she gloated over her…

As the smoke cleared, Cardinal Hildred looked around in horror. The once-beautiful Cathedral was now a scene of devastation, with rubble and debris strewn everywhere. The stained glass windows lay shattered on the ground, and the walls were blackened from the blast. The bodies of the Holy Knights lay scattered throughout the Cathedral, their once-bright armor now dented and bloodstained. Cardinal Hildred couldn't help but feel that at that moment, Zero was the epitome of destruction. A person who, in his…

"Helena, go bring me some mana stones!" commanded Cardinal Hildred, her eyes fixed on Zero. "Understood!" Priestess Helena replied quickly, scurrying out to retrieve the precious mana stone. As soon as the stone was brought back, it was fed to the Nexus Scepter, which began to glow with renewed power. Cardinal Hildred then placed the artifact on Zero's head. "Haha… You had rejected me once, but you won't be able to this time. Consider this your honor!" She declared triumphantly. Zero felt the dark…

-THUD! -THUD! Priestess Helena was relieved that Zero/Jester didn't attack her and was obediently following her. And she also just did what she was told which was to show Zero the way to Cardinal Hildred's camber. She didn't try to be arrogant and provoke Zero in any way. It doesn't matter whether Saintess was captured or not as she was truly scared of Zero attacking her. She quickly led Zero to Cardinal Hildred's chamber. "So you came!" Cardinal Hildred said with a smile. She slowly stood up from the…
