Isabella was overwhelain
Unexpectedly, in only a year, the church, who had been the only hope of humanity to defeat demons, became a barrier to the human race's success in the Battle of Divine Will
She had lived here for a long time but was not sentis of His Holinessobien, kept ringing in her ears and reminded her that the result was always more important than the process She was certain that if humanity could not defeat the deless
She followed out O'Brien's instructions all her life She had chosen to support Zero instead of Archbishop Mayne since the soul ser had shownthe demons After Zero had lost to Roland Wi If even now, she could find a leader more powerful than Roland, she would choose the ain without hesitation
She did this for good reason
In her view, the continuation of the human race was far more important than any personal interests
Despite that, she still could not let go of soret deep in her heart She did not understand why she felt this way until she returned to the old Holy City
She discovered that she had been feeling sorry for Zero all this time
Back then, the Pure Witches had believed that the gulf between them and Zero, who had lived for hundreds of years, would have been exceptionally wide and many of them had secretly coe inith Zero She found that, in comparison to the other Pure Witches, who had planned to follow their personal interests throughout the Battle of Divine Will, Zero was -willed
She believed that Zero was not very different fro an assistant while Zero was used to being the leader
She was afraid that it was not Zero's nature but an inevitable choice for an experienced witch who had lived for more than 200 years
She guessed that the Holy City would have looked very different if Zero had been able to meet Roland ten years earlier
Unfortunately, everything had happened too late

”The church has been based in this place for the past several hundred years and ishere It's ilect such an important path into the city, which isn't under the control of the city wall” Isabella shook her head ”They just intentionally let the sainst the Coalition of the Four Kingdo the Months of Demons Its sentry posts were hidden in natural limestone caves in the uards there”
