Chalice smirked. "A weakling is no match for me!" Charles II bowed again, ecstatic that Chalice had agreed.As Charles II and Chalice made no effort to try and keep their voices down, Fred naturally heard their entire conversation. This led to Fred's current confusion. He had killed an Archbishop Chalice at the San Hanna Saunders' residence, yet here he was, faced against another Chalice. Most importantly, there was something familiar about this Chalice standing before him, but he could not recall why.Without warning, Chalice moved.The Lord Apostle raised a finger arrogantly and pointed at Fred. "Perish, weakling."Then, a bright white flame shot out from the Lord Apostle's fingertips and grew larger the closer it got to Fred. In no time, the entire area had turned into a sea of burning white flames."I-Is that... Sacred Flames? At such a large scale too... Just how powerful of a fire-type ability must one have to launch an attack like this?!"Charles II stepped back as

Everyone watched as Fred, the one they thought would perish under 50% of Chalice's full strength, remained unscathed. On the other hand, their Lord Apostle, who they thought would emerge victorious, was screeching in agony.Charles II and the ability users behind him were stunned. Someone gasped. "H-How is this possible? T-This is nothing like what I imagined!" "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"After a while, Chalice finally snapped out of his agony and roared. "How dare you damage this precious body of mine?! This is outrageous! Absolutely unconscionable!" Chalice looked up and bellowed at the sky. "Oh, omnipotent Lord! Please give me the strength to purge this land of evil! Angel’s Descent!"Immediately, a bell rang somewhere in the Holy Kingdom of Tigan as if it was the Lord's reply.Then, a holy glow enveloped Chalice and slowly merged to form a pair of pure white wings. Most importantly, Chalice's presence also grew exponentially stronger. Even Charles II and the other ability us

At this moment, Cardinal Ariel was looking at the crown of thorns in his hand that had suddenly dimmed. His expression was smug. “Hehe, it was just an experiment, but I didn't actually expect that fool Charles II to be killed by the revered Great One.”Despite not having gone to the square to watch the battle, Cardinal Ariel already knew the result of it through the genuine crown in his hand. It was an item only qualified to be worn by the Holy King. Moreover, from his expression, it was clear that this result was exactly what he had hoped for. “All of you, come here,” Cardinal Ariel said as he put down the crown. Then, he looked at the 11 priests standing next to him.“Might I inquire the reason for your summons, Cardinal? Is there something you need?” asked the priest who seemed to be of the highest status among the group. He was curious when he heard Cardinal Ariel's summon.Cardinal Ariel glanced at the priest and said, “I trust you’ve heard the commotion outside. To be ho

Practically the moment Carmein was brought to his knees, the expressions of the other cardinals changed dramatically in an instant. They had thought nothing of Fred and had been confident that Carmein could deal with him quickly.Indeed, this included Carmein and the 11 people standing by Cardinal Ariel’s side. Like Chalice, who had been summoned by Charles II, they were all apostles and ancient ability users. The difference between them and Chalice was that when they were summoned to this world, Cardinal Ariel had restricted their freedom. They had to kill all the cardinals with the same name as themselves when they came to this world to regain their powers.Not only that, Cardinal Ariel had clearly deduced this when Charles II had summoned Chalice earlier. It was specifically from Chalice's request to Charles II to temporarily appoint a Cardinal Chalice before killing him. Therefore, after Charles II's death, Cardinal Ariel immediately proclaimed himself as the Holy King with t

Dead? They were all… dead? These were the 11 Apostles. They were ancient ability users! They were not just 11 flies! Yet, what was the difference between them and flies before Fred? He had effortlessly wiped them all out with a single palm strike! At that moment, Cardinal Ariel felt a sense of despair the same as the former Charles II did. After all, what could he do in the face of such power? He even wondered then if he should have never sought the power of the Holy King after Charles II's death. He should never have harbored ambitions of dominating the world. Most importantly, he wondered if he should never have provoked Fred, who was this seemingly superhuman existence!"Let's go!" Fred turned back to Rita as if he had not noticed Cardinal Ariel."A-Alright!" Seeing this, Rita immediately followed Fred downstairs. Then, the two of them walked past Cardinal Ariel, almost brushing against him.Was Fred... not going to pursue this? Had Fred spared his life?Watching Fred walk p
