Swell, who had left the Scarlet Rose, did not seem to notice that his whereabouts had been revealed, and he rushed to the vicinity of St. Jessica's Cathedral as fast as he could from the nearest path in his memory.

However, to Swell's embarrassment, at the end of the shortcut he took, there was a barracks that had been established at some unknown time, and I don't know if it was intentional, the outer wall of the barracks blocked the path tightly, making it a dead end.

Originally, with Swell's ability, it would have been easy to climb over this barracks, but Swell couldn't do that. He had recognized from the insignia on the barracks that this was the home of the Knights of Light. After being a cardinal for so many years, Swell knew how vigilant the Knights of Light were.

Only the most devout Holy Cultists are eligible to join the Knights of Light is the most powerful combat force in the entire Holy See, and under the condition that the entire Holy See can only have one Sanctuary due to the restrictions of the Holy See's iron law, the Knights of Light has developed several battle formations used by several Light Knights combined, which can allow the Light Knights of the non-Sanctuary to have the ability to fight against the Sanctuary.

Swell was almost certain that if he tried to climb over this barracks, he would definitely be discovered by the Knights of Light, even if he was already at the peak of the twelfth level, he was probably no match for those Knights of Light who used battle formations.

Before meeting with the doppelganger, Swell's identity is more sensitive, and he must not reveal his true face in front of outsiders, and his doppelganger is a top secret. If it weren't for the fact that Septic had the Arrow of Time and Space in his hand that could quickly return to the Imperial Capital through Divine Retrospection, and in order to gain Celent's trust and obtain the right to use the Arrow of Space-Time, Swell would not have even revealed this secret to Celrent.

Although Swell's doing this was costly, and the "unrelated people" such as Stowe, Alcatel, and Rivaside also knew the secret, he had already arranged for someone to quietly activate the illusion magic array in the secret base. The powerful illusion generated by that magic array was enough to delay them for enough time, and by the time they returned from the secret base, everything in the imperial capital had already settled.

Swell looked up at the sky, there was still some time before the sun rose, enough for him to change his course. Thinking of this, Swell immediately turned around and prepared to bypass the camp of the Knights of Light. Just then, a portal appeared in front of him, and a withered hand reached out of the portal and beckoned at him.

Swell was shocked in his heart, only the powerhouse of the Holy Domain could control the ability of space, and the master of this hand created the space door so easily, and the power control was extremely exquisite, without the slightest spatial fluctuation, Swell didn't sense it when he was close at hand, let alone alarm the light knights in the barracks.

Based on this, Swell deduced that the owner of this hand was likely to be a powerhouse of the Mithril Sanctuary. Looking at the entire continent, there are only a handful of strong people who can have such strength, and this is in the imperial capital, so the owner of this hand is obvious.

After guessing the identity of that person, Swell was almost frightened, and he couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in his heart, he had just escaped from the hands of Bi Xiu, the first witch in the mainland, but he didn't expect to be targeted by the snake here again, the Lost Sword Saint Ophoras!

Swell's hesitation, Ophelas seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and with a light touch of his thin fingers, Swell felt a fierce sword aura suddenly lock him, as if he would kill him immediately if he didn't enter the portal again.

After Swell understood the subtext of Ophoras, he could only step into the portal with trepidation, and couldn't help but think about how to face this Lost Sword Master, who had been famous on the continent for thousands of years.

Swell's eyes lit up dark, and he found himself in a strange world, and the wizened hand and the owner of the hand that led him in had disappeared into the glare at some point.

The world seems to be made up of different colors of light. However, when Swell took a closer look, he was shocked into a cold sweat, where are these lights, and they are clearly sharp and incomparable sword qi.

There was no doubt that all of these sword qi came from the Lost Sword Saint Opiras, and Swell was instantly sure that he was already in the sword qi realm of the famous continent unique to Opiras. Legend has it that this realm can be transformed into a huge and invincible sword array, and the core is the Divine Sword Bright Moon Fenghua, which Ophelas used to run rampant on the continent at the beginning, and there are almost no opponents.

Swell has the most intuitive understanding of the power of Ophelas, can condense the sword qi truthfully, and has the characteristics of light, I am afraid that only this Lost Sword Saint can condense the sword qi to this extent unprecedentedly.

"Swell, long time no see. Just as Swell sighed, the old and familiar voice of the Lost Sword Saint sounded in the sword qi realm.

"Indeed, it's been a long time, Lord Opheras. Swell bowed respectfully into the depths of the sword qi realm. As soon as Ophelas spoke, Swell understood that staying in the Holy See branch was his own doppelganger, and he couldn't hide it from Opiras.

Swell was not surprised at all, Ophelas had been operating in the imperial capital for two thousand years, and his secret power was far greater than that of the royal family.

When Ishtar ran the Holy See branch, he had been careful not to touch this mainland powerhouse who regarded himself as the guardian of the empire, and he trembled all the way before he gained a firm foothold in the imperial capital with the support of the Holy Mountain Headquarters.

After the cataclysm severed the connection between the Eastern and Western Continents, it was tantamount to a salary draw for the Holy See Branch, and it was at this time that Swell left the Holy See Branch and went to the secret base under the Rock Wall Church to carry out Plan X, so he was not very clear about the relationship between the Holy See Branch and the Lost Sword Saint. The previous Divine Retrospective didn't show much more, which caused Swell to face Ophiras more embarrassed than when he saw the witch.

After all, with the incense of the previous Pope, although Bischute and the Holy See have a clear boundary and do not interfere with each other, in fact, there will be some protection, at least it will not be too difficult; Ophelas is not easy to say, for for so many years since the establishment of the Holy See Branch, the Holy See has not yet figured out the true attitude of Ophelas towards the Holy See Branch. Swell wasn't sure what would touch Ophoras's bottom line and draw the wrath of the Lost Sword Master.

Swell felt extremely depressed, if he reconciled with the doppelganger, and encountered the same trouble again, he would definitely be more comfortable dealing with it than now, after all, the doppelganger was far more familiar with the current situation in the imperial capital than him, and after so long of contact, he knew better how to deal with Ophoras.

It was a pity that Ophelas did not give him such an opportunity, and the timing was just right, and he "invited" him when he left Bischut's sphere of influence and had not yet returned to the branch of the Holy See.

Such a precise timing is enough to prove that Ophelas's control over the entire imperial capital has reached a terrifying level.
