"Hehe… Saintess Amelia, how are you doing?" Cardinal Hildred said with a sarcastic tone. "Cardinal! How did you find us?" Saintess Amelia asked confusedly. However, she didn't panic and was already thinking about how to get out of that situation. With her hand, she gestured for Adeline to run away. Saintess Amelia believed that Cardinal wouldn't chase after Adeline even if she ran away as she knew that she was their primary target. Even if she couldn't get out of this situation, she wants at least…-

Prior to this incident! "Let me explain!" Zero said to Saintess and Adeline as he explained all the events that happened during the ceremony. "..." Cardinal Hildred was listening to all the conversations between Saintess and Zero. Adeline's mind control was not healed even with Saintess' healing. The only thing that made them believe that Adeline recovered was because Cardinal Hildred made it that way. There was one function of Nexus Scepter that Zero was unaware of. The reason for that was because,…

"Umm… I will take it myself!" I said as I moved forward. "Guards! Attack him! Don't let him take the Scepter!" Priestess Helena ordered. -WHOOSH! There were 6 Holy Knights with Priestess Helena and they all came to confront me. Though Priestess Helena herself stayed behind near the Nexus Scepter. The first Holy Knight charged at me with his sword raised high, but I swiftly sidestepped and countered with a powerful punch to the knight's gut. The knight stumbled back, gasping for air. -GAK! Despite…

( As expected! ) I was on the outskirts of the Cathedral and there were lots of guards surveying the area. Most of them seemed to be mind-controlled. The good thing was that they couldn't utilize their full abilities. Even if the person is Rank-A, he/she can't detect me unless it is really obvious. If not, with the capabilities of Rank-A and Rank-S Holy Knights, they should have been able to detect the mana when I used Shadow Dance. But it seems that they are not capable of that since their mind is…

"Let me explain!" Zero chipped in. He wanted to give Adeline a summary of what had happened and also to explain his plan. First Zero explained to Adeline about the situation at the Cathedral and how she and others had been brainwashed by Cardinal Hildred. Adeline looked very guilty and immediately apologized to the Saintess. "I-I am so sorry, Saintess! I-I …" Adeline blamed herself. Even though it was something out of her control, she couldn't believe that she was trying to kill someone she had…

As Zero flew away from the Cathedral with Saintess Amelia and the unconscious Adeline, the blizzard storm he had conjured continued to hinder their pursuers. Amelia focused on healing Zero's injuries, her hands glowing with a soft, warm light as she channeled her healing magic. "Zero, what should we do now?" Amelia asked, her voice filled with worry. "Cardinal Hildred's threat... I can't let innocent people die because of me." Zero, still in pain but recovering, replied, "We need to find a safe place to…

"Haha… Stop thinking and surrender! You two will never be able to escape from our grasp." Cardinal Hildred laughed. "Why? Cardinal Hildred, why are you doing something so sinful?" Saintess Amelia asked. She couldn't believe that one of the most powerful figures in the Church was a traitor. "Why you ask?" Cardinal Hildred sneered at the question. "It's simple! For more power." Cardinal Hildred said. "What? That's absurd! How can betraying the Church give you more power? Even if you did, how…

-THUD! -THUD! Cardinal Hildred approached Zero with a smile on her face. While he was paying attention to her, he didn't explicitly do anything since he knew that Cardinal Hildred could do no harm to him. The most she might be able to do was scratch his face maybe. Anyway, she looked confident and stood before Zero. "Haha… Stupid! Idiot!" Cardinal Hildred laughed and cursed. ??? Zero was totally confused by her behavior. He knew that she was a wretched woman but he didn't think that she would show…

Two women were seated in a room which was adorned with intricate tapestries and paintings depicting scenes from religious lore, and the walls were lined with shelves filled with ancient scrolls and holy texts. Soft, flickering candlelight illuminated the space, casting a warm glow across the opulent furnishings. "So, what is the progress of our plan? Did that bodyguard of Saintess Amelia agree to become Holy Knight Commander?" Priestess Helena asked. "That damn commoner! He actually refused my…

"And even if I gave you the Rank-SS Artifact, you would not be able to wield it. The item is specifically for the Saintess. Other than her, no one would be able to use it." The Pope said. Zero was stunned momentarily. Not only did the Pope casually reveal that they indeed had the Rank-SS artifact, but he also told him the limitations. While the limitation might be a lie in order to reject him, however, the fact that he revealed that the Church possesses such treasure didn't change. However, after…
