Chapter 161 – You And I Will Join Forces (2/2)

Outside the Vatican’s Hall of Light, Lei Yu and the Pope were standing side by side. “My friend, let me know if you have any requests. The Vatican will spare no effort to support you!”

“Requests?” Lei Yu thought for a bit… The current most pressing problem was his forces were weak. Although he has a few experts, the majority of his subordinates were merely regular people. If he had a few more people with the strength at the Fourth Order Warrior or above at his disposal, the later things would be easier for him to accomplish. Lei Yu then said: “The first problem I have to solve is in regards to manpower – my subordinates at the strength of a Fifth Order are too little. If the people of the Dark Council seek me out, it will be extremely difficult for me to handle them.”

“That’s an easy matter to solve. Wouldn’t it be best if you joined forces with the Vatican and together, we can destroy all remnants of the Dark Council?”

If it was like back then, Lei Yu might have hesitated, but now he had no choice anymore. With an enemy aircraft aiming for his head, the pressure did make one feel suffocated. Lei Yu nodded, “It’s doable, but I have a condition!”

“Please tell me.”

Lei Yu looked at the Pope before saying: “I hope your holiness will break off your relationship with Dr. Tony, or else, it would be difficult for us to work together.”

The Pope didn’t dare to hesitate, “Not a problem. Compared to someone like you that possesses a holy object, Dr. Tony is not even worth mentioning. I agree to your condition.”

“There is one thing I’m curious about… it can’t be possible that within the Vatican, you’re the only one that has reached this degree of strength, right?”

The Pope’s expression had a slight change before he thought for a bit. Since Lei Yu was willing to sacrifice himself to save him, that feeling should be reciprocated. Nodding his head, “Correct. There’s another super expert within the Vatican but he only takes orders from Prophet Kalchas. Since the Prophet has already passed away, it can be considered that he’s no longer controlled by our Vatican. Unless the Vatican is about to be destroyed, this person will not appear.”

“Oh? Such a person exists?” Lei Yu was surprised. He wasn’t surprised with the hermit-like hidden expert, he was surprised that someone would be that devoted to another. This extremely interested Lei Yu.

“That’s right, his identity is truly mysterious to the point that we can use the word ‘elusive’ to describe it. Since the creation of the Vatican, he and Prophet Kalchas had always been together.”

“How long has it been since the Vatican was founded?” Lei Yu asked.

“We already have five hundred years of history.”

“Another old evil spirit!” Lei Yu didn’t say this out loud. Sighing in his heart, it looks like this world has a few unusual existences. “Then his strength should be very strong right?”

Mentioning this person caused the Pope to have an expression of worship on his face. In order to make the Vatican’s top level figure, who was respected by millions, to have such a face, how powerful was this elusive person?

“That’s right! He is an ascetic cultivator, and his name is Lycomedes Romon. Lord Romon is the most powerful existence I have ever encountered. The Vatican had experienced two crises, one of them almost destroyed us. But his appearance completely changed the situation of the war, he single-handedly reversed a hopeless situation by repelling our enemies and saving the Vatican!”
