“Just as I thought… she’s a lunatic…”
Watching the blonde girl swinging her weapon at the phantom of a Supreme Being above, Amisa murmured to herself.
There were indeed legends of a Heroic King swinging a sword at a Supreme Being in ancient times, the most brilliant epic in human history.
But the stronger one became, the closer one reached into that unknown territory, the more one understood what the word “Supreme Being” represented.
And the more one would feel that the power bestowed upon the Golden Apple Adventure Group by the Supreme God in the legends was far more powerful than any childhood fantasy.
This was the privilege of the God’s Blade.
In contrast to Amisa’s shock, Arthur seemed somewhat sentimental, as if he had faced these brutal members of the Inquisition before.
This made Amisa, hidden in the shadows, even more curious about the man’s background. If he was a powerful Transcendent, why had she never heard of his name?
“Lady Amisa, may I ask a favor of you?” Arthur obviously didn’t answer the question in the Head Maid’s heart.
He simply turned his head and looked at the shadows beside him.
“Huh? Just call me Amisa…”
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…
However, the swing of the axe didn’t end with the phantom of the eye dissipating.
Just as the young Captain had said, the Flames of God would burn away all impurity!
Whoosh!
The flames surged like a violent mist! The moment the first spark exploded in the air, it covered the entire sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!
“Ahhh!!”
“Hot… it’s so hot!!”
“On fire… I’m on fire… I’m completely on fire!!”
“I’m burning up — !!”
The cultists who had been standing below in a daze also began to spontaneously combust at that moment! One by one, they turned into human torches in an instant!
[Screech — !!]
In a corner, a Wraith that had been sneakily observing its surroundings let out a silent wail before being vaporized by the aftershock.
‘It’s over…’
The moment this thought occurred to Franlot, every hair on his body began to burn!
Just as he had imagined, these people didn’t care at all about collateral damage! Would he really die here right after transmigrating?
Just as he felt his body about to ignite and fire about to erupt from every pore, the strange sound of a harp suddenly reached his ears.
The moment he heard the music, Franlot felt a wave of coolness wash over him.
It was as if he were standing in a forest with a gentle breeze, feeling the faint moisture of morning dew and the incredibly fresh air.
“Honestly…”
In the next second, a helpless sigh came from beneath his feet.
“Eh?!”
Franlot’s entire body sank directly into his own shadow, disappearing from the spot.
“Hmm?”
In the sky, the girl who had just swung the axe that burned the heavens seemed to sense something.
Her dark gold eyes looked toward the spot where Franlot had just vanished.
But before she could think further, her left hand instinctively rose.
Clang!!
The sound of clashing metal rang out. Her combat instincts from countless life-and-death battles allowed her to block a sneak attack without even looking at the assailant.
However, there was clearly more than one attacker! In an instant, over ten black figures appeared around the Captain! They were the Divine Guards bestowed by the True God!
Whoosh!
At that moment, the dozen or so Divine Guards surrounding the Captain didn’t pull out weapons to continue the attack.
Instead, as if by prearrangement, they all extended their left hands!
Gurgle…
In the next second, the left hands of the Divine Guards all wriggled and cracked open!
Compared to the single eye in the palm of the Transcendent cultist in the tunnel, each of these Divine Guards had no fewer than 100 eyes on their arms.
Furthermore, those rolling eyeballs all converged on a single point in the next second: the Captain, who was still in mid-air.
Buzz!!
“Captain!!”
The other members below weren’t idle either, but there were twenty-three Divine Guards remaining, excluding the one Holly had killed.
Combined with several Assistant Priests, they blocked all the members who intended to provide support outside the battle circle!
However, even if these people hadn’t intervened, it was impossible for the members to assist the Captain. The opportunity was fleeting.
“Turn to dust…”
With a low murmur from one of the Divine Guards, a twisted and wondrous power caused the Captain to stiffen in mid-air!
In the next second, the white robe and armor on her body began to decay.
Even the giant axe in her hand began to show patches of rust.
Several silver strands even appeared in the girl’s pale gold hair near her temples.
“As I thought…”
Meanwhile, a Wraith with an elongated, hideous face had replaced the previous one.
It was crouching beneath some rubble, enduring the high temperatures that tempered its soul, watching the battle above without blinking.
The images it saw were all transmitted into the eyes of Ileya and Holly, who were standing in the tavern cellar.
“As you thought… what?” Although they were looking at the same scene, Holly completely failed to understand her Lady’s thoughts.
“Since these guys can call themselves Divine Guards, their ability isn’t actually decay. Their ability, those eyes… is more likely the control of Time Control.”
‘Time Control…?!’
Holly was clearly a bit dazed, but once she understood, she fell into a state of profound shock! Did she just take down such a powerful guy?
However, what Ileya didn’t mention was that although these guys could control time to a certain extent — for example, instantly accelerating time to turn a pouncing Zombie Wolf into dust or making all the clothing on Holly’s body vanish — they couldn’t affect the Holy Sword in the slightest.
Or rather, they did affect it, but even after 1,000 years, the divinely bestowed Holy Sword would still look exactly as it did now, without a single speck of rust.
This was the key to Holly being able to kill the Divine Guard.
And the weakness of these guys was also very obvious.
For instance, their physical bodies were as fragile as ordinary humans, and there seemed to be some kind of restriction, or perhaps their mastery over this power was still lacking.
Moreover, through her observation just now, Ileya had roughly guessed another weakness of theirs.
Now she had to consider whether to offer assistance to this Captain of the Inquisition.
However, the Captain in the sky couldn’t think as carefully as Ileya because danger was right in front of her! If she didn’t react, she might turn into rolling dust on the ground in the next second!
“Burn…”
As the girl’s dark gold pupils flashed, a surging Karmic Fire ignited around her, swirling to wrap the Captain entirely!
‘Self-immolation?!’
‘This girl… actually chose to set herself on fire?!’
The group of Divine Guards besieging the Captain wanted to continue their assault, but they had also witnessed the terror of this flame.
It was a terrifying fire that could turn stone, dust, and even the human body into kindling.
Once it touched them, they would likely be burned to ash instantly. So, they chose to temporarily retreat.
“What are you doing! Do not give her a single moment to breathe! Kill her!! Kill her for me!!!”
But clearly, the Great Priest, who had been watching from the side, did not think so.
With such a perfect opportunity, he had to take down this arrogant person who dared to blaspheme God!
