Joan has always had a clear understanding that the enemy of this wasteland is not only the dark wizard, but also the remnants of the empire that the Pope said.

"Judgment Day" was enough to attract the attention of everyone within a radius of thousands of miles, and the demonic nobles who were hiding nearby would never let themselves go.

Don't forget, the magic city of their former national capital was destroyed by the "Judgment Day", and now they may have smashed their base for the second time...... New hatred and old hatred combined, if it is really blocked, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

After all, Joan had no choice but to pull out the Divine Annihilation - now that the Dark Wizard and the Lord of the Worms had been severely damaged, and the mission goal of the intelligence investigation had been initially achieved, even if he really wanted to kill them all, he had to wait until the army was mobilized.

In addition, he used the "Judgment Day" without the permission of the Pope in a "lead stamp" document or a collective discussion of the College of Cardinals, and perhaps someone would take the opportunity to impeach him, after all, Joan had only recently become a cardinal, and her foundation was unstable.

Since it had been nearly 2,000 years since the gods had been away from the earth, it was now the time when the occult realm was at its lowest and the worldly power was at its highest.

The Black Iron Age is coming to an end, and any kind of power that has reached "power" is extremely rare. The battle that breaks out between ordinary people is nothing more than legendary.

A weapon of destruction like "Judgment Day", every time it is used, it will be feared and coveted by countless people. Joan is not a loner, but the face of the Holy See, and will be under pressure from all sides at the political level -

Whether it's from the kingdoms of the infidels and the unbelievers, or from colleagues within the Holy League, or even from the papal chambers......

In short, this kind of trouble is left to me in the future, and the most important thing now is to leave this place.

But surprisingly, the remnants of the empire did not appear, and another original opponent took the initiative to find the door.

“...... Are you Rasputin Nowikh? ”

The black-robed wizard bowed slightly.

"You two really made me a good show, Lord Borgia."

Indeed it is.

When Richard chose his target among the two legendary extraordinaires, he was originally biased towards Joan, whether it was due to power, strength, and positioning, or more superficial factors such as appearance and personality.

It's just that Howard's hand that he showed later - being able to control a big monster or something is really too fragrant, which makes him a little hesitant.

However, when Richard realized that Joan Borgia was capable of invoking space-based weapons, the scales in his heart were immediately overwhelmed.

Without saying a word, he let the Spell Spirit Lord hurry over with him in his arms, and finally intercepted the other party before he left here.

…… Richard was glad he didn't miss the opportunity.

The other party retreated too decisively, and almost didn't catch up.

But someone's pleasant tone clearly irritated the other person.

"It seems that this is not destined to be a beautiful encounter...... Ready for a fight? ”

Joan didn't answer, he clenched the hilt of his sword and said coldly.

"Why, I'm here to express my gratitude, it's rare to have a chance to see an earth-shattering duel like this."

Richard smiled.

"But if you want to, I do want to have a meeting. Do you know 'Wizard Duel'? ”

Joan did not respond directly.

“…… I have heard that Mr. Rasputin had already fought a great battle with the apostles of the 'Reverse Cross' half a month ago, and he had already made a name for himself, so why bother with it now? ”

The two of us had only fought for one round, okay? Richard complained in his heart. As only the "three-plate axe" ...... No, it is a parallel trade legend of "one board and axe", if it weren't for the fact that the other party was in a state of possession of others, it would be impossible to solve the problem so easily.

However, when he and Joan met on a narrow road, Richard did not intend to destroy his prestige, but replied lightly.

"Sitting in the audience is naturally different from standing in the center of the stage in person. Then again, as one of the Templar commanders, would you refuse a duel offered by someone else? Unless I have memorized the rules of knighthood. ”

"With all due respect, we are looking for a fair duel, not a circus for people to watch."

Joan shook her head.

"Although Lord Nuren is a dark wizard, you can fight me with dignity, compared to you, as the leader of the magic tower, are you planning to take advantage of others?"

The other party made it very clear that someone's current behavior is a despicable act of "picking up leaks".

But Richard didn't intend to pay attention to the other party's words, and just replied calmly.

"—of course."

......

Joan sighed.

It seems that a second battle cannot be avoided.

He didn't report himself, and since the other party was already standing here, he definitely wouldn't care about the threat from the Holy See.

He just couldn't understand why the other party was doing this.

This is not the same as the situation when he immediately turned his face and did something after meeting Howard Nuron.

All the openly recognized forces or groups on the continent, once they encounter this group of evil wizards who have touched the forbidden realm, they will choose to kill them all if objectively allowed;

As one of the three towers of the stars, although the cold style of the magic tower has made outsiders mixed, it is still a holy place in the minds of the wizards of the mainland, and it belongs to the most formal extraordinary group......

The Wizard of the Black Tower and the Holy See have indeed had friction in history, but they have never been on a truly opposing side because they have scruples about each other.

As a leader, didn't the other party consider the possibility of retaliation?

If one of the cardinals dies here, the decision-makers of the Holy See will definitely be able to unite the three countries of the Covenant to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the Demon Tower, because this matter will be related to the face and legitimacy of the entire Holy Alliance.

What's more, this is still after using "Judgment Day" myself...... Even if Rasputin thinks that it will be difficult for him to use "Holy Annihilation" for the second time in a short period of time, it should also be clear that his power as a legendary knight has not weakened.

In other words, the two are still on the same level, and the wizard has no advantage.

Does this person really have the absolute confidence to defeat or even kill himself?

For example, if you happen to master a special kind of magic, you can just restrain the Divine Swordsmanship of the Borgia school......

A drop of cold sweat flowed from Qiong'an's forehead.

*

After a moment of silence between Richard and the other party, he finally waited until he was ready.

When he took out the black prismatic thorn in his arms, Qiong'an, who was not far away, saw this scene with sharp eyes, and his face suddenly changed.

"Godkiller Cone?!"

Richard was stunned. Because he didn't know what it was called......

But he knew that the other party knew the threat of the thing in his hand, so he no longer hesitated and ordered the curse spirit lord lurking in the spirit world to materialize again. The tall figure that appeared behind the knight raised his fist high and smashed down fiercely—
