Nicky was glad that in less than three seconds, the Earth Bracelet was bounced away by the giant sword, and the giant sword continued to slash at Nicky's head, and even the friction between the sword body and the air created a vacuum around it, trapping Nicky in it and unable to escape.

Nicky was shocked when he saw this, and it was too late for him to sacrifice his life-saving hole cards. Nicky regretted that he shouldn't have been so careless, and that he should have used that treasure to protect himself sooner, and now it was too late.

Nicky watched in despair at the falling greatsword, and he could even feel the sharp sword aura piercing the skin on his face.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and the bouncing Earth Bracelet happened to fly towards Nicky, and to Nicky's surprise, he saw the familiar earthy yellow light flashing on the Earth Bracelet, which was a sign that the seal had been broken!

The earth-shattering sword from Ophelas had a power comparable to the full force of the Demon Gold Sanctuary, and it actually forcibly split the seal on the Earth Bracelet with a sword, although the seal was only broken by less than half, it was enough for the Earth Bracelet to show its grandeur.

Nicky didn't have time to think about why the seal of the Earth Bracelet had suddenly been broken, and his strong desire to survive made him quickly chant a spell from the Earth Bracelet inheritance, which he had stolen from the copy consciousness that had been fused into it by controlling Swell's ontological consciousness.

With the sound of Nicky's chanting, circles of earthy yellow light began to bloom on the Earth Bracelet to form a sealing magic array, which formed a large net while blocking the fall of the greatsword.

The giant sword seemed to feel the threat from the Earth Bracelet, and after letting out a mournful roar after knowing that it was invincible, it suddenly exploded, turning into a small sword and flying in all directions, trying to break out of the sealing net of the Earth Bracelet.

The fierce collision between the two produced a huge shock wave, and the Pope Chamber, which was already crumbling, could no longer withstand this huge pressure and completely collapsed.

......

On the night of the 28th day of the spring month of the year 2120 in the continental calendar, the Cathedral of St. Jessica, which had been standing still for 2,000 years, underwent a shocking change: the landmark of the church, the towering prayer tower, where the core of the Holy See branch - the Papal Hall was located, collapsed.

Countless devout believers fell to their knees in terror and prayed, unable to believe that what was happening before them was true, had the Holy See branch been abandoned by the Lord of Light? The sound of sobbing, prayer, and chants mingled to create an atmosphere of great sadness, like an elegy for the Basilica of St. Jessica.

The huge shock wave of the collapse of the prayer tower shook the entire imperial capital, and no one knew at the time what the event meant and what far-reaching effects it would have.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the culprit of all this, the greatsword of the Lost Sword Saint Opiras. The devout Divine Cultists even regarded this as a sign of the Lost Sword Saint's declaration of war on the Holy See, and the crowd was agitated for a while, which greatly weakened the prestige of the Lost Sword Saint in the hearts of the Holy Cultists.

In the imperial palace in the center of the imperial capital, the old chamberlain Gates was attracted by the upheaval of St. Jessica's Cathedral, walked out of the bedroom of Rey III, looked meaningfully in the direction of St. Jessica's Cathedral in the south, and whispered: "Lord Opiras, why are you so anxious?"

After saying that, Gates glanced at the dark interior of the dormitory with anxiety, the entire dormitory was like a giant beast dormant in the dark, without a single light, bursts of oppressive aura continued to emanate from it, except for Gates, none of the other attendants in the palace dared to approach here, for fear of being swallowed by this "giant beast".

Since the revelation of His Majesty the Emperor's health at the New Year's celebration, Rey III is now in even worse condition, only a short time of the day is awake, so that it is difficult for anyone to see Rey III again except for him. In this case, Gates was very skeptical that Rey III would be able to attend the upcoming celebrations of Port Royal and the opening of the canal.

......

In the Imperial Military Department, the Chief of Staff of the Empire, Marquis Douglas, also left the command headquarters and looked in the direction of St. Jessica's Cathedral, after the upheaval there, Marquis Douglas could no longer maintain his composure, and he scolded Norman next to him with an angry face: "Can't you contact the marshal now?"

Norman is also the commander of the Sea Dragon Legion, and it is indeed a little embarrassing to be reprimanded in public by Marquis Douglas, but who let Marquis Douglas be his father, and reprimanded him for what was right, so that he had no temper at all.

Norman replied with an ugly face: "The marshal took the initiative to cut off contact with us after approaching the imperial capital, so he should have other plans......

"Nonsense!" Marquis Douglas interrupted Norman impatiently, and then realized that it was not appropriate to say this, and hurriedly said to cover up: "How can you lose the marshal's whereabouts so easily?

Norman could only smile bitterly at this, although the intelligence department of the military department was powerful, it did not dare to go against the marshal's will and snoop on the marshal's whereabouts at will. He had never seen the always calm Marquis Douglas so gaffe, and it seemed that the violent conflict that suddenly broke out in St. Jessica's Cathedral suddenly broke the strings that had been tense in the chief of staff's heart, and he lost his previous calm.

Faced with the sudden and aggressive Lost Sword Master, the Imperial Military Department was under unprecedented pressure. What's more, other forces from all sides have also shown their fangs at this time, and the military headquarters that lacks the Sacred Domain is indeed in a very dangerous situation, and it urgently needs Marshal Sebastian to return to the town.

During the years when Sebastian was not in the imperial capital, Marquis Douglas had been acting as the marshal as chief of staff, and he had worked hard to support the imperial military department, which was strong and capable, and it was understandable that it suddenly broke out at this time. It is fair to say that Imperial Marshal Sebastian dumped all the military affairs of the imperial capital to Marquis Douglas, but he himself did not sit in the imperial capital all the year round, which is quite irresponsible.

"We'll find a way to get in touch with the marshal as soon as possible. As for the branch of the Holy See......" Norman inquired meaningfully.

Marquis Douglas glanced in the direction of St. Jessica's Cathedral with a complicated expression, and slowly shook his head. He understood that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to completely eradicate the branch of the Holy See, and he would definitely not hesitate to order it a few days ago.

However, the situation is stronger than people, no one expected that the Academy of Magic would appear in just a few days, and there was even a Mithril Sacred Domain, plus Dean Canos, who was originally a Holy Domain, the five Magic Sacred Domains gathered, such a powerful strength broke the balance of power in the imperial capital in one fell swoop. No one knew why the Academy, which had always been neutral, was flexing its muscles at this time, or what their position was.

With the high-end combat power far below and the whereabouts of the marshal unknown, Marquis Douglas hesitated again and again, but decided to preserve his strength and wait for the marshal to return before making plans.
