Just as Saramondo sent the Abyss Nova out, two men stood opposite each other outside the city of Tadoya, the headquarters of the Holy See of Dawn and the capital of the Tadoya Empire.

"Shoot, Deputy Head Andrei. ”

"Offended, then, Lord Austin. ”

As soon as the words fell, the ground under Andre's feet collapsed, and he himself rushed towards Austin with a huge reaction force, and the whole person was like a white storm in an instant. Austin was not afraid, as soon as he stretched out his palm, there was a loud bang, the storm stopped abruptly as if it had hit a mountain, and Andre appeared, it turned out that his attack was blocked by Austin's three-color barrier.

After the battle of the Knights of the Holy Sword Warriors of Ayroh half a year ago, Austin did not bask in remorse and anger, but turned this shame into a motivation for progress.

Fire, thunder, and ice, the three magical powers that Austin had cultivated, could now be transformed and combined at will under his control. If Austin was just a demigod half a year ago, then now, even at the demigod level, his strength is not weak.

This kind of change, Andre is undoubtedly the most clear, because in the past six months, he and Austin have the most opportunities to learn from each other, almost watching this young man get stronger day by day.

Realizing that the attack was ineffective, Andre didn't say any nonsense, and flew up and kicked Austin in the face, but was blocked by Austin's other hand, but Andre didn't intend to hit this blow, but quickly broke free from Austin's magic clamp with the help of this kick, and then quickly started fighting.

After a few rounds of attacking and defending with Andre, Austin suddenly spoke: "Be careful!"

Andrei was startled and immediately flashed backwards.

At this moment, a swift and simple blast of flames almost grazed Andrei's face and rushed into the sky. The cold sweat didn't have time to wipe it to quickly make a defense, and Andre didn't take the opportunity to attack Austin, who had the door wide open, because he knew it......

"Boom!"

Sure enough, with a meteorite rushing to the ground, it just landed in front of Austin. If Andre was lured to approach Austin rashly, he was afraid that he would have lost his ability to fight by now.

Andre knew he couldn't take it straight, so he chose to dodge. However, with Austin's blow landing with a bang, Andre's long-brewing killing move finally seized the opportunity - "Judgment of Light!"

With the flick of Andre's fingers, a white magic array suddenly appeared under Austin's feet and restrained him, causing a powerful explosion.

However, before Andre could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a "bang", and Austin had already dispersed the magic array and rushed directly towards him!

Both sides in the field have raised their aura to the extreme, to be precise, Andre has used all his strength, and Austin has suppressed his strength at the peak of the legendary level.

The reason for this battle is very simple, Austin is to constantly consolidate his strength realm in actual combat and cultivation - just like they are fighting with all their strength now - and then constantly break through the limit and touch a higher realm.

At the beginning, although Austin had the power of a demigod, due to his lack of experience, he was always suppressed by Andre after suppressing his strength to the legendary level. But now, even if Andre's strength has improved as a result, he can't suppress Austin.

"It is worthy of being the inheritor personally chosen by the God of Light, this kind of talent...... It's really terrifying!" Andre looked at Austin with a calm face, and felt very relieved in his heart, "In this way, Lord Austin will soon become the thirteenth apostle of the Inquisition, and the strength of the Holy See will be strengthened again!"

The two men exchanged punches and kicks, crackling for a long time, until Andre was no longer able to punch and the surrounding environment was almost destroyed, and Austin finally announced a halt.

Andre was obviously tired and crooked, but he still refused to fall in front of Austin, and it was no wonder that he refused to stop and admit defeat with his rigorous and upright character, so Austin had to stop and let him retire and rest.

"This kind of power is not enough. ”

Although Andre was no match for Austin for a long time, there were less than twenty people in the Holy See who could defeat Austin. But in Austin's view, his progress is still not enough.

The reason is very simple, the pressure that Ailo brought him was indeed too great!

Not to mention the ability to kill more than 1,000 people of the Holy Sword Knights alone, even if he was defenseless, he could trap himself for up to half an hour, which made Austin very afraid - of course, Austin did not know the existence of Luo Jite.

But if you think about it, if Austin knew that even a dragon as Luo Jite was subdued by Iro, then what was Iro's real strength?

In short, if he is now well prepared to face Iroh half a year ago, then Austin does have some certainty of killing Iro.

However, Austin is not stupid, and a little study of the process of Ello's strength change will show that the progress speed of this mysterious dragon is not lost to anyone.

Three rays of light were swung out of thin air, and they were red, blue, and purple, which corresponded to the three magical powers that Austin mastered.

As a demigod, Austin also has three powerful skills that can change the tide of battle, namely:

Sky Thunder Knight: Forms a thunderbolt armor on the surface of the body, and can also turn lightning into various weapons, which has a large damage bonus to living organisms.

Vulcan's Fury: Dense fireball damage, extremely intense firepower, can even destroy city walls. Move with your fingers, near and far.

Frost Mist: Creates a wide area of low-temperature dense fog in which enemies will go into shock and coma due to hypothermia for a long time, and attack enemies in the fog with icicles.

However, Austin smiled bitterly, even if the three powers were combined, I am afraid that they could not compare to the explosion that could destroy the world, right......?

Although people have comforted themselves more than once, Iroh's horror is only reflected in the destructiveness, and may not be powerful in other aspects, but such an intuitive and powerful power can give people a more direct shock.

What the hell are you, Iroh......

Austin stood there and was speechless.

"Deputy Head Andrei, are you still there?"

"Yes, Lord Austin. ”

"I'm going to meet His Holiness the Pope and help me make arrangements. Austin suddenly asked.

......

The next day, Austin set foot on the site of the real Dawn Holy See headquarters.

Although almost everyone knows that the headquarters of the Holy See is in the city of Tadoya, even among the members of the Holy See, only a few people understand that the so-called "headquarters" in the city of Tadoya is actually just a front.

That place, at most, was an office of the Holy See in the city of Tadoya, but it was more luxurious than the others.

And if you want to enter the real Holy See headquarters, you actually need to go through a top-secret teleportation array under that office to reach the subspace specially reserved for the Holy See by the God of Light-Dawn Holy Mountain.

That's right, the headquarters of the Holy See is located in an independent subspace!

This space contains the Holy Mountain of Dawn, the papal buildings built along the mountain, and a large plain area at the foot of the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, in addition to the turquoise mountain forest, there are only white religious buildings and neat pilgrimage mountain paths. Austin looked left and right in novelty, because he was also coming to the Holy See headquarters for the first time.

"Stop!" suddenly appeared in front of him, two people dressed as paladins blocked Austin's way. "Who is your Excellency, and do you have identification?"

"I am the apostle candidate of the Supreme Inquisition, Austin Ted, and I have come to meet His Holiness the Pope this time, and I hope that you will inform you. ”

Although the tone of the guard was not polite, Austin was already a demigod, so naturally he would not care about the guards who were not even two legends. Moreover, the entire Dawn Holy Mountain was within the Pope's perceptual range, and he couldn't be as casual as he was in the outside world.

"It turned out to be the candidate apostle," the guards nodded, and used their magic to carefully confirm before letting go, "Please follow this path all the way, and the main hall at the end is the Pope's Hall." Also, please do not travel to other parts of the Dawn Sacred Mountain without permission. ”

While sighing in his heart that there were so many rules in the Holy See, Austin smiled at the two and nodded, and continued to move forward.

In fact, this is not bad, those members of the Holy See who are resident in the Holy Mountain of Dawn need to abide by the rules that can even write a book.

Judging from the rules alone, the Dawn Holy See is indeed not as comfortable as the Divine Dragon City......

Austin wasn't overly curious, and although he did care about where the paths on both sides of the avenue led, he chose to go straight to the Pope's Room.

"Apostle Austin, the candidate for the apostle? It's rare that you have the heart to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain of Dawn, and now the younger generation rarely has this kind of realization. ”

On the high platform of the solemn and sacred Papal Hall, Pope Gregory XV, dressed in white robes and wearing a holy helmet and holding a scepter, spoke kindly to Austin.

"Don't dare to be, this is what should be done. ”

Austin respectfully knelt down on one knee before the Pope, feeling a sense of reverence and awe in his heart. Originally, I thought that I had become a demigod, and I would no longer encounter an existence on the main plane that could not even raise the slightest desire to resist.

But when he met the Pope, he completely changed his mind.

Because in front of this pope, who seemed to be as kind as an ordinary old man, Austin couldn't even have the slightest thought of disobeying him!

You know, even Iroh can't give him such terrifying pressure......

But then, that awe was quickly replaced by a different mood.

“...... Then that's it. I've heard your story, and you've been doing well lately, and I've seen your loyalty and potential in my heart. I hope that you will continue to uphold the love and justice of the world in the future, and when you have made the due contribution of an apostle in the future, I am sure that I will be happy to personally confer the honor on you and remove the word 'candidate' from the ......"

Looking at the pope, who had started another round of preaching, Austin couldn't help but burst into tears—real tears, not pretends.

"You're not done!" Austin thought. Because my knees were really sore, painful and numb after kneeling for almost an hour......

"Alright, Austin, no more gossip. Now that you have truly seen the Holy See, and have achieved the strength that even I have to admit, stay here for the rest of your days to better serve the Light and Justice!"

After turning around for most of the time, Pope Gregory XV finally got back to the point.

"Thank you, Your Holiness, for your appreciation, I can't thank you enough!" Austin finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—it was over. If it weren't for the desire to further pursue greater strength, thinking that he might often hear such preaching in the future, Austin would really want to turn down the Pope's kindness......
