As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

The extraordinary ability to survive a desperate situation is rare, but it does exist. Even if [Son of Light] were to fight back, falling to the ground would still be in accordance with the rules of the Saint Trial.

But Roy's expression was extremely gloomy.

Not right.

There is no such plot in the original work!

[Son of Light] Sang's strength should have reached its limit long ago!

Could it be a backup plan left by the church...

Levi refused the medical team's request to evacuate and stayed behind to witness Alice's defeat. Despite being seriously injured, he laughed wildly with blood in his mouth: "Hahahahahaha! See? Your maid is dead! Sang will kill her! No matter how talented you are, you can't change her fate!"

Can’t change...?

Roy clenched his fists silently and fell into anxiety.

In fact, it is very simple to stop the trial.

With the Blade of the First Dead, force your way into the sacrificial hall, save Alice and interrupt the trial.

But then...

The position of the Saint, the clues to the promotion of the [False King], and the nodes that defy fate will all be completely destroyed.

No.

Compared to Alice's safety, none of these things mattered.

But why am I so resistant to interrupting all this...!

Roy didn't wonder for long.

The answer is at hand.

In the light curtain, the girl, half covered in blood and in a state of great disorder, gritted her teeth and stood up again.

He raised his sword against the enemy, his blue eyes showing no sign of retreat.

That poignant and resolute heroic posture, which surpassed any scene in the original work, was like the dawn that broke through the long night and pierced Roy's heart.

Because I believe her.

Because I believe Alice can win, will be safe, will return victorious, and will become a saint.

Just like she promised me.

Roy took a deep breath and finally did not take a step forward.

On the other side of the continent, the Pope on the Holy Throne lazily opened his eyes.

Gazing at the blonde girl in the light curtain, the Pope showed a hint of condescending amusement.

"The Saint of Heaven's Destiny...wants to rebel against Heaven's Destiny and betray God's will?"

"There's no other way. I will personally give you the divine punishment you deserve."

When the Pope raised his hand, Sang, with his eyes rolled back, also raised his hand, and a vast light burst out from his palm.

Chapter 81: The Moment of Heaven

The golden light fell and exploded, raising a large amount of dust.

The girl escaped from the edge of the explosion like a rabbit, and [Seraph] accelerated to its full speed, slashing out with a sword as fast as lightning.

The extreme speed of Sequence 6 had already far exceeded the limits of the average person's dynamic vision. Most viewers couldn't even catch Alice's afterimage, and could only vaguely glimpse a golden line.

However, this sword strike, which was enough to catch many Sequence 6 warriors off guard, was blocked by Sang's counter-attack with the Holy Light Sword Halberd.

The attack missed, and Alice wanted to chase after him, but she only felt a chill in her face.

Something is coming!

Alice's heart was filled with alarm, and she didn't dare to delay at all and tried to get away as fast as possible. However, unexpectedly, Sang's speed was several times faster than before. Light appeared under his feet, and he turned into a golden shadow and chased after her closely.

In an instant, the figures of Chibai and Jinyao were like two meteors, darting around in the sacrificial hall and colliding several times. Wherever they passed, the walls shattered, the ground sank, and even the stone pillars were engraved with terrifying marks.

Blood splattered, and before it could hit the ground, the swords collided. Just as the sound of swords rang out, several more clashes broke out one after another.

No one cheered, no one applauded, and the fierce battle that took place hundreds of times in just a few seconds made everyone extremely nervous.

Until a certain moment, the two figures reappeared.

Sang hadn't known when he was standing on the platform with a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other, looking down at the girl below with a calm demeanor.

Alice was panting, her armor was torn, and the wounds that even the holy light could not heal were oozing with blood.

At this moment, Sang has already burst out with the aura of Sequence 5, and it is still growing.

The power and speed have been raised to a higher level, even if Alice strengthens a specific ability with all her strength, it will be difficult to achieve.

But what really put Alice in a difficult battle was not the difference in bloodline levels.

The action has changed.

Every move, every step, every breath became more sophisticated, and his use of holy light became obviously more precise and skillful, making him a completely different person from the Sang just now.

Even the owner didn't anticipate what to do in this situation!

From the moment Sang launched her counterattack, all of Alice's advantages were gone.

What should I do?

At least if my bloodline level can keep up, there might be a way...

Long ago, Alice had reached the limit of Sequence 7, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through the bottleneck between the low and mid levels.

Right now, his extraordinary strength is almost exhausted. If he cannot maintain [Seraphim], his bloodline level will fall back to Sequence 7, and everything will be over...!

Before Alice could think of a countermeasure, the opponent attacked again.

The Son of God leaped, and swords and spears fell, like the roar of cannonballs.

Even though Alice dodged in time, she was still blown away by the powerful impact.

This time, it was Sang who took the lead in attacking.

The sword formed by the holy light hummed at this moment, becoming brighter and brighter, as dazzling as the sun.

Sang did not chase after him, but instead threw the terrifying sword of light straight towards him.

A stream of golden light flew out from the string, and a terrifying holy light burst out and exploded.

The terrifying sound, like a volcanic eruption, shook the entire hall. In fact, most of the altar was directly transformed into nothingness by this blow, leaving only the light barrier to tragically endure the terrifying power.

The girl fell to the ground in a mess, her golden hair scattered, one arm hanging down, struggling to hold the sword.

She couldn't withstand a Sequence 5's full-strength attack head-on.

Even without being hit directly, the terrifying aftermath shattered one of her [Temple Gauntlets].

And if it weren't for the protection of the gauntlet, she would have lost at least one arm.

Can't delay any longer.

Realizing the difference in strength between them, Alice was not afraid. Instead, she showed the bloodiness and ruthlessness of a knight. She shouted softly and raised her sword forward.

Faced with the completely different Son of Light, his combat experience and the intelligence and instructions from his master were all useless.

The only thing I can do is to fight to the death!

【Blade Storm】.

Thirty-two slashes unfolded in an instant, wrapped in blazing white holy light, interweaving into an impenetrable and terrifying sword light.

Sang's steps were finally stopped by the girl.

Three cuts will break the dagger, seven cuts will break the sword and halberd.

Twenty-one slashes shattered the [Holy Light Armor] on Sang's body. After that, the sword finally hit Sang's body, leaving a bloody mark.

However, just as the final blow, which was concentrated with all his strength, was about to penetrate Sang's body, the latter forcibly burst out with a wave of holy light.

The blade storm was extinguished in an instant by the holy light hurricane, and Alice's movements were also suppressed by the extraordinary aura that was higher than her head.

The Pope, who was far away in the East Continent, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Sang slapped out with one palm, and the vast golden light swallowed up the girl's figure like an ocean.

Under the overwhelming and shocking blow, Ellie was blown away without any suspense, falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The girl lay on the ground, bleeding profusely, as if she had lost her life.

However, the wound she had carved for Sang with all her strength healed rapidly under the healing power of the Holy Light, as if everything that had just happened was in vain.

The knights of the kingdom shouted in despair, the students of the academy could not bear to watch, and the adventurers cursed the ruthlessness of the candidate from Dongda Road, but all of this could not reach the ears of the girl, nor could it reverse the overwhelmingly unfavorable situation of the battle.

Time to end.

Well, although we cannot take her life, the power of the saint must be used by the church.

Those who disobey will be punished.

For example, temporarily destroy her bloodline power and then return it after gaining control over it.

With this in mind, the Pope drained Sang's full strength and even potential, overloading himself with the extraordinary power of [Glory].

The overwhelming force made Sang's heart beat wildly, his blood vessels tremble, and blood oozing out of his body.

The high price paid was the extraordinary secret arts of the Church of Holy Light.

[Divine Art: Heaven's Moment].

The complicated holy light array has five layers from top to bottom, engraved with the mark of angels, and is aimed at the girl in the distance.

"Damn it, that's not something a mid-level player can use! Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

Theresa cursed loudly and stood up suddenly.

Unexpectedly, Leo grabbed her wrist.

"The Son of Light is incredibly gifted, and so he mastered the techniques that only archbishops are qualified to learn early on."

"...Leo, are you fucking serious?"

"Sequence 5 magic has limited power and won't kill her."

"But it will still..." Theresa was stunned, her scalp tingling, and she finally realized the church's purpose.

What they wanted was a puppet they could manipulate at will, not a disobedient Saint who didn't have the support of White Harbor. As long as they could capture the Saint of Destiny, it didn't matter whether she was a Saint herself.

No one noticed that the two high-level transcendents were facing each other vaguely.

The magic circle of [Divine Art: Moment of Heaven] was almost completely solidified, ready to be used.

The holy light is brighter than daylight, yet it exudes a merciless coldness.

Alice, lying on the ground, raised her head blankly, her eyes no longer focused and no light in them.

Chapter 82: Angel's Smile

The long-awaited near-death experience came like a tide, dragging Alice into the abyss of eternal darkness.

However, compared to fear, there is more guilt, unwillingness, and an inseparable throbbing.

I promised him I would win.

But it has fallen into such an ugly state.

As a maid, you offer victory to your master in return.

As a candidate, I responded to the guards with a victory response expectation.

As a girl, Alice wanted to be looked at by him with the most perfect posture that could not lose to anyone, just like them.

Being watched by him...

Master, watching now.

It was like the clear sound of a silver bell. The moment Alice realized this, she woke up as if from a dream, gripped the sword again, and her light blue eyes regained their determination.

You can never lose in front of him.

The pounding heartbeat, the burning blood, and the surging emotions, at this moment, transformed into the most sacred power, sublimating everything about Alice and pushing her across the dividing line between low-level and middle-level - the dividing line between humans and extraordinary creatures.
