"Lilya, you're really looking for the right time!"

Ronald turned around and looked at the center of the Heart Ring Courtyard.

The president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] was originally looking for a way to deal with the Tunnel Devouring Insects, but he didn't have such a comprehensive and versatile spell as Ronald after all.

Liria even touched the edge of the transformed spatial rift.

But with no spell at hand that could change the situation, he could only do nothing.

Until just now, Ronald and Kostat arrived.

After seeing your enemies attack the Tunnel Eater Worm and have an absolute advantage.

Lilya decisively gave up on the idea of dealing with the Tunnel Eater.

Instead, he took advantage of the battle between the two sides, and slipped into the center of the Heart Ring Courtyard alone.

The Tunnel Eater Insects, which originally occupied this place, have all gone out to defend against the enemy at this moment, leaving only the cross statue to be placed here alone.

It's not a treasure that the insects are precious.

The things in the other squares have long been destroyed by these monsters, and only the cross statue has survived until now by virtue of its special texture.

“……”

Liarja stared at the statue, slowly walked to the center, and then reached out and touched it.

The cross statue was cold to the touch, and there was no reaction.

It looks like mortal iron.

If you don't do your homework before you come, even if the treasure is in front of you, ordinary people won't be aware of it.

"Whew-"

Lilja took a deep breath and removed a small cross necklace from her neck. If you look closely, you can see that this pendant and the statue in front of you are a scaled-down model, and the details and even the traces of the vicissitudes brought by the years are exactly the same.

This is the key that Liria's subordinates sacrificed themselves to bring out of the Basilica of Holy Grace.

Liarja sends her magic to the necklace, which doesn't respond.

"Sure enough, I made an anti-theft measure."

This is also to be expected.

So Lierya took out the original text obtained in the large library, and then deciphered it with the ability of "Shuowen Jie Zi".

He was immediately given access to the Hebrew Bible.

The structure of the mana in the body changes.

Lilya's expression was a little surprised.

Ever since mastering his original texts, the magic power in his body that comes from "Thus Said Zarathustra" has maintained a very high share, and the magic power from other spells is almost impossible to compete with.

But this time it was different, and for the first time, the quality of the magic provided by the Hebrew Bible was equal to that of the newborn.

"Woo!"

In the next second, Lilya's body tilted sharply.

The magic of the Hebrew Bible has a violent repulsive effect on the magic of Thus Said Zarathustra!

As a native of this world, Lilya didn't think about it at all, and didn't know it.

Thus Says Zarathustra the God of the Bible is dead.

Let these two texts take effect in the body at the same time.

It's like he's joking with his life!

Fortunately, Lilya's body has long been accustomed to the magic of "Thus Said Zarathustra", and the Hebrew Bible has just been activated.

He immediately terminated the conversion of the magic power, which suppressed the magic of the riot.

"Hah-"

"W-what's going on?"

"Never before has anyone in history who has mastered two, or even more, original texts have had such a reaction!"

Lilja gasped violently.

He remembered Ronald, who was out there slaughtering the Tunnel Worm at the moment.

If you have to find an example, Ronald is the monster who is the best candidate.

This formidable foe has several original texts and is one of the best in the entire history of mankind.

Obviously, even such a guy shows no signs of conflict with the original canon.

What is your problem?

Liarya pondered as she poured the holy magic she had just transformed into the cross necklace in her hand.

Sure enough, the cross necklace immediately glowed with white.

Recognizing the magic of the Church's own power, this equally hidden key sucks up the magic and immediately reacts to the statue of the cross in front of it.

Lilja sensed a suction in her hand.

According to the information gathered by the [Nine Rings Secret Society], resisting this suction at this time, he can manipulate the power of the cross statue to control people's hearts.

But let go of the hand......

Lilja voluntarily gave up the cross necklace.

Under the control of the magic, the necklace floated on its own, approaching the statue of the Cross.

Brush –

The two touched tightly and merged into one in the blink of an eye.

Then the white light also appeared on the statue, and finally completely covered it.

Lilja quietly waited for the change.

Nearly a minute passed, and all the light and magic disappeared in front of him, replaced by a silver-white scepter, stuck in the place where the statue had been erected.

"This is the Scepter."

Lilja stepped forward and pulled up her scepter.

The structure of this treasure is very simple, the main staff is a short metal stick with a small cross at the top.

The moment Liara grasped the Cross Scepter, she managed to gain control of the artifact.

The Cross Scepter's abilities, like the Sword of Santa Caterina, are capable of tampering with the minds of others with great power to achieve complete control.

As the sum of this power.

The Cross Scepter is not only superior to the Sword of Santa Caterina in terms of the number of effects and the strength of its abilities, but it also has no prerequisites for its activation.

Take the scepter, infuse it with magic, and that's it.

"Is the scope of influence so exaggerated......

Liarja sighed, and then did not hesitate to activate the power of the Cross Scepter.

The first to bear the brunt is, of course, Ronald.

However, in just a moment, Lilja felt that her ability to project the past was being resisted. Ronald had so many original texts that it was almost impossible for such spells to work on him.

As for the maid on the other side......

Unfortunately, the Cross Scepter can't even make contact with Kostadt.

Costadt was created by the original canon and then iteratively evolved, and it was not at all within the scope of the Cross Scepter's abilities.

But Lilja was not discouraged, and her face became a little strange.

He had a windfall.

Because of their wisdom, these tunnel-devouring insects all over the Heart Ring Courtyard can also be controlled by the Cross Scepter!

……

On the other side, Ronald had just resisted the control of the Cross Staff.

He looked at Liya's position and waited for the other party's next attack, but the leader of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] did not follow up.

Ronald is no longer entangled.

With a single sword, he slashed through the insects that surrounded him, and then jumped high and instantly came to the queen of insects.

The sword of Santa Caterina flashed black.

The queen of the insects, who was still screaming, was pierced through the head by a sword this time, and only struggled for two seconds before there was no movement.

Ronald breathed a sigh of relief that his primary enemy had been slain.

But when he turned his head to look around, he noticed that the situation had become strange.

The moment the queen died, all the tunneling insects stopped moving, and it looked as if they had been controlled!
