Another World: The Failed Magician

The old man in front of the stone coffin did not change his expression at all when the elder spoke as if he were certain of victory.

Looking at the other person's calm demeanor, the elder felt a sense of unease welling up inside him.

Howard immediately saw through the elder's thoughts.

"Are you afraid?"

"..."

The elder stood calmly, holding his long sword.

"I'd like to see how long your Heretic Administration people can hold out."

"Don't worry, I haven't been the Pope for nothing all these years. I won't let you down."

After saying that, Howard looked at the light screen floating in mid-air and ignored the elder.

Anxiety spread through the elderly man's heart.

At this moment, the screen in mid-air switched to another knightly order joining the battlefield.

The regimental commander, who was directing the battle at that moment, was instantly filled with renewed confidence.

But before he could even feel happy, he realized that the other person seemed to be coming for him.

He glared at his superior, his voice hoarse with fury: "What do you mean? You are defying the God of Light!"

“I don’t know what nonsense you’re spouting. I’ve received orders from the Pope not to let anyone set foot in this place. In my eyes, you are traitors.”

As time went on, more and more knights joined the battle, some supporting the Pope and others supporting the God of Light.

The situation outside is very complicated, with the two forces evenly matched.

The elder, along with the high-ranking officials of the Church of Light behind him, had not expected Howard's influence to be so strong.

Behind the elder, several high-ranking members of the God of Light Kingdom were already having second thoughts. The situation outside was unpredictable, and the barrier formed by the scepter in front of them was something they simply could not break through.

If Howard's team wins, their fate is predictable.

Just then, the elder's cold laughter broke the silence.

"I already thought I thought highly of you, but I didn't expect you to surprise me like this. You truly deserve to be called the strongest pope in history."

As the elder spoke, he fiddled with the long sword in his hand, waving it in a strange manner.

As he wielded his longsword, a dark and terrifying aura emanated from his back.

Li Mengyu immediately sensed something was wrong.

She instinctively drew her sword and stood in front of Lu Xuan, whispering, "This aura is strange."

Lu Xuan's expression changed at that moment.

The nonchalant look in his eyes at the beginning had completely disappeared and been replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

Mo Yun instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

As a mage whose core magic is life magic, she could clearly feel the magic around her repulsing this aura.

"How is this going?"

Mo Yun forced herself to look at Lu Xuan, suppressing her discomfort.

"Just as Howard guessed, that thing is also part of the God of Light."

"what!"

Everyone present was a powerful individual, and although Lu Xuan's voice was not loud, everyone heard it clearly.

Almost everyone present rejected this claim, especially the high-ranking members of the God of Light Theocracy. How could such a twisted and dark aura be part of the God of Light?

Even Angie, who has a relatively good temper, couldn't help but retort: ​​"Dean Lu, you have to be responsible for your words. How could something like this be part of the God of Light?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the stone coffin behind Howard and the others.

"You think these two extremely contradictory auras might exist in one kind of person."

“It’s certainly impossible for it to appear in one type of person, but the God of Light isn’t human, and isn’t the Elder right in front of you? Why don’t you just ask him what you want to ask? If he can still answer you.”

Before Angie could even speak...

The elder let out a roar like a wild beast about to go mad, and a deep black aura uncontrollably spread from behind him.

The elder suddenly began to go mad.

"Stop! I told you to stop!"

"This is different from what we promised!"

"You! You lied to me!"

The elder roared and cursed loudly at the air.

But this did not stop the spread of the black aura, which soon covered the elder's entire body.

Then the elder's cursing stopped abruptly.

The elder's mask shattered, revealing an aged face.

But in just a moment, the aged face suddenly began to look younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A handsome but somewhat pale face appeared before everyone.

This……

The illogical scene before them stunned everyone.

They didn't even give everyone time to react.

The elder, who had suddenly become younger, took a step forward and casually swung his longsword at the light emanating from the scepter.

Just before the sword tip touched the light barrier, the incredibly powerful barrier shattered instantly, just like an ordinary piece of glass.

"How could anything stop me if it stemmed from my faith?"

The instant the light screen shattered, Howard looked at Charlotte and Rhodes beside him.

"Take her away."

Rhodes instantly understood what the other person meant.

Without giving Charlotte a chance to resist, they grabbed her hand and ran back in the direction they had come from.

All of this happened too suddenly, and countless questions flooded the minds of Charlotte and others as well as the higher-ups of the God of Light Kingdom.

The elder paid no attention to the questioning and shocked looks of others and walked toward the stone coffin on his own.

He quickly stopped in his tracks as Howard blocked his path.

The elder looked at him with disdain: "As a pope, you are indeed quite special. It's all thanks to you, you fool, that I was forced to break this seal. If you leave now, I might spare your life if I'm in a good mood."

Seeing Howard standing motionless in front, the elder snorted coldly.

"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

The elder casually tossed away the longsword in his hand.

This extremely valuable weapon was discarded by him like a discarded toy.

He then extended his right hand and gave Howard a firm shake.

Suddenly, a rift appeared in the void, and a terrifying black giant hand rushed out, grabbing directly at Howard.

Howard concentrated all his magical power in his right hand and slammed it heavily onto the stone coffin.

At that moment, the stone coffin burst forth with brilliant light.

A giant made of light condensed above the crowd.

Just as the giant black hand was about to fall, the giant composed of light waved its right hand, repelling the black hand.

But the terrifying impact knocked many of those present out of the room.

Lu Xuan casually waved his hand, and a giant water monster appeared in front of him, blocking all the impact.

"Mo Yun, you should take those saintesses and leave. I'm not sure if I can save their lives."

Seeing the situation, Mo Yun didn't refuse. She nodded and then waved her hand, suspending the girls in mid-air like cargo.

Mo Yun led the saintesses towards the exit and joined up with Rhodes.

They brushed past the high-ranking members of the Church of Light, and those people did not try to stop them.

Because the development of events has exceeded all of their understanding.

Mo Yun and the others escaped without any trouble.

Just as the high-ranking members of the God of Light Kingdom were still hesitating, two giant hands, one black and one white, were about to collide again.

"What are you still standing there for? To die?"

Angie shouted as she ran toward the exit.

The group from the Church of Light had no choice but to run towards the exit, as the impact unfolding before them was indeed beyond their control.

In this chaotic situation, saving one's life is definitely the most important thing.

Soon only four people remained.

Li Mengyu looked at Lu Xuan.

Did you know it would turn out like this?

Lu Xuan nodded.

"It was expected, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

"Then aren't you going to kick me out?"

"If I tell you to leave now, will you leave?"

"Don't go!"

Li Mengyu's tone was very firm.

She had a feeling that if she really escaped with those people right now, she would lose Lu Xuan.

At that moment, another terrifying shockwave struck.

The water elemental stood firmly in front of the two, absorbing all the terrifying shockwaves.

Li Mengyu gripped the long sword tightly at this moment.

Which side should we help?

She believed that Lu Xuan must have his reasons for not leaving.

"hold on."

Lu Xuan calmly observed everything that was happening.
