"Boom-"

A black shadow slammed into the ground from mid-air, and the barrier that split the vertical stripes was finally overwhelmed and shattered into several pieces. After smashing the barrier, the shadow continued to gain momentum, smashing a deep pit into the ground in front of the church. Ramov coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs seemed to be dislocated by the blow, and in addition to the minor internal injuries, there were also burn pains on his skin from time to time.

He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't experienced such a bitter battle, and after absorbing Leorea's dragon soul, Phoenix's power had reached a terrifying level, and this feeling of weakness was like facing a calamity-level monster.

Before he could get up, two flames fell vertically into the pit.

Ramov cursed and raised his left arm sharply, and the stone wall formed by the rock rushed out of the ground, blocking the flames. Looking at the red rocks, his face changed, and he rolled towards the church gate in embarrassment. As he escaped from the pit, the rock was transpirated into magma and poured into the pit.

The time for the rock to resist was shortened, and Ramov thought it was a delusion at first, but the instantly burned rock confirmed his suspicion - not only did the battle just now not consume Phoenix's physical strength, but her strength continued to grow.

There are only two possibilities.

Phoenix had become familiar with the dragon's powers, and he had the privilege of witnessing the birth of a Calamity-class monster, and for another reason he didn't want to see—Phoenix was getting more and more manic. The potion that drove her crazy seemed to have penetrated every part of her body, which was never a good sign.

Once Phoenix's sanity is completely lost, even if Tyrna's kid arrives, it won't help.

Ramov staggered to his feet, propped up the ground with one hand.

He doesn't have Phoenix's perverted recovery ability, and his damaged internal organs can't be repaired on its own. Before he returned to the battlefield with his fist, an old man in a red robe blocked him with his left hand.

"Your battle lasted for half an hour, and the church's defensive enchantment was damaged by more than sixty percent, and if it continues like this, all the enchantment will be destroyed by the dragon's breath, so it's time to ask the Holy Maiden to take action. ”

The bishop is erected before the church.

He never had the idea of making a move, and despite his strength comparable to that of the Knights of the Round Table, the Bishop was the decision-maker of the entire Church, the equivalent of the brains of the Order Church, and he would not be as stupid as Ramov to fight a Calamity-level monster alone, knowing that only the first Bishop Shanoya, the first King Azi-Tris, and the Chief Knight of the Round Table Maranferin could deal with this level of monster.

They were still quite far away from those people, not to mention, the Holy Maiden's action was a more concise and safe way.

It's just that according to the laws of the Church, the Holy Maiden's hand is the last hole card, and the last resort can only be used when the Church is in danger. Another necessary condition before that is the approval of all the Knights of the Round Table. Now that Gawain is on the front line, Alyssa will not be able to rush back to the church for a while, so as long as Ramov nods, the church can pass the bill urgently.

"Don't worry, I just haven't been in a fight in a long time, and my body is not as flexible as it used to be. But I've found my groove now!"

You are not facing an ordinary enemy, whose power has grown to the point of threatening the Church. Ramov-Lancelot, is friendship above dogma for you?" the bishop asked Ramov sternly.

"It's not just about friendship and commitment, don't you think I'm a nobody who doesn't know anything? This bill isn't just about letting the Holy Maiden seal a monster, and she's going to have to take back that part of the sealed power!"

"It's better than the destruction of the church headquarters. The bishop replied nonchalantly.

The two hid inside the church while talking, and Phoenix, who had lost his goal, let out a loud dragon groan again, and the scorching dragon breath bombarded the top floor of the church in an instant. The rift in the defensive barrier at the top became more obvious, and the shattered barrier fell like glass.

"Wait a minute. ”

Ramov wanted to step out of the church and leave the bishop's "advice" behind him as if it were wind in his ears, but he suddenly thought of something and stopped abruptly: "You want the saint to regain her power?"

After saying this, his eyes were a little shocked.

The retrieval of power caused by the change of strength is not simply a change in strength, along with the loss of power there are many more complex things, the object that was imprisoned under the church by the Holy Maiden's own hands still contains half of her godhead. After the First Demon War, the Holy Maiden was able to seal her power with the help of Bishop Chanoa, King Teres, and Maranferin, and after sealing the power, she entrusted the holy artifacts in her hands to the Knights of the Church, and scattered them throughout the continent.

The sealed half of the godhead contained all the negative emotions of Lord Gosya's ambition, anger, and hatred. Now the innocent saintess is only the product of being stripped of half of the godhead.

"That's right. ”

Regarding this, the bishop did not deny this: "Lord Gosya was afraid that her growing negative feelings would make her put all her manpower and materials into the war to retake Akalandu, and the Horuthia Alliance at that time did continue to cultivate and recuperate, and could not withstand the second large-scale war, but now that nearly a thousand years have passed, the threat of the Chaos Sect is imminent, the position of the Senate is also flickering, the situation has changed, we can't let the Holy Maiden continue to be in a daze in the magnificent hall every day!"

The invasion of Phoenix presents a great opportunity.

In order to fight against the calamity-level monsters, it is an "inevitable" means to awaken the power of the Holy Maiden.

"So that's the difference between us and you. ”

After a moment of silence, Ramov nonchalantly snapped his ears. This is his usual behaviour when he treats the bishop's "counsel" as a deaf ear. This was the reason why he had always been in a relationship with the bishop, and the chattering old man was always thinking too much about things, and what he ultimately longed for was never stability, but the supremacy of the Order Church among Holutiah: "If Bishop Chanoa knew that he had entrusted the bishop to such a man, he would have regretted it." ”

The temperature of the dragon's breath is rising, and it is true that as the bishop said, it is indeed the easiest way to awaken the power of the Holy Maiden at this moment, and frankly, even if Tyr arrives here, he may not be able to regain Phoenix's sanity.

But

Even if there is no hope, the Knights of the Round Table will fight until the moment of exhaustion.

This is a tradition that the Knights of the Round Table have carried forward since the First Demon Tide War.

Ramov's breath sank, and the strength of his whole body was mobilized by him at this moment: "Knights will fight to the death for faith, and you have no faith, you only have ambition." ”

The bishop stared blankly at Ramov's back as he met Phoenix, and it was not until the latter had already jumped on the dome that he said lightly: "Say whatever you want." ”

As a bishop, he understands one fact.

If Ramov-Lancelot dies in battle, he will be the last person in the church at this moment to have decision-making power - he can pass the bill alone.

Stupid Knights of the Round Table.

Foolish beliefs.

Your set of things is long outdated.

The bishop said in silence and turned to walk towards the Round Table Council.
