Chapter 179 - 096. Judgement Of The Heretic (2/2)

The priests were looking back at him He was the top holy man in the Church of Caiolium, and someone they believed was destined to becoious doctrine he’d establish soon

Such afor all of them to hear, “We are the ones blessed with the Goddess’s will And thus, we shall protect the holy ground where the worshi+p of Goddess Gaia first began!”

The two cardinals listened and looked at Mikael from his side, only for their eyes to nearly pop out of their sockets just then

That’s because they got to see it

…The sight of Cardinal Mikael ever so faintly tre

Even if it was a mere replica, the imitation of the Aztal rune was in his possession A weapon written with the language of the Gods

Yet a man in possession of such poas secretly fearful of the legion of undead ht before their eyes

“All of you… defend this holy land!”

The clerics of the Caioliuest cardinal joined in and began shouting out, “Yes, we have the Aztal rune! We cannot let ourselves cower before some undead abominations!”

If they were forced to leave here, then they wouldn’t be able to survive anymore They would be relentlessly hunted down by the Theocratic Eet ostracised by the public

In that case, they needed to struggle hard and survive

Indeed, they sile and survive this crisis, so that they could establish a new religious sect If it was Cardinal Mikael, the holder of the Aztal rune… He would be able to perfor as he became one later

The roars of the cardinals, and the divinity flowing out froan ruling over the eht in their eyes, previously dyed in fear, had now been transformed

The Paladins bravely stepped forward, while the Priests lifted up their injured colleagues

“Head to the cathedral…!”

“Yes, we must return to the sanctuary! It’s safe over there!”

“We must stop them! Stop the advance of the Necromancer and his ar colleagues in a defensive line before raising their shi+elds

Through the Aztal rune, Cardinal Mikael’s e shared with them They could sense his trust in them

If it was Cardinal Mikael, no, Pope Mikael, then he’d surely be able to protect the on a skeleton horse, his appearance hidden beneath the oat’s skull and bone araze and scanned the clergyh their characteristics They possessed all of the attributes any self-respecting corrupt clerics reed, hedonistic tendencies, and various other selfish natures At this rate, it’d be ious quacks, instead

But then, their attributes were gradually and rapidly changing Their characteristics were now given the trait of ‘faithful’ after they began resonating with Mikael’s voice

Their eradually faded away

Even their divinity reserves were getting bigger

The Seventh Imperial Prince turned his head and took a look at the cathedral

Fro Gaia according to history books, an incredible a out nonstop

‘That’s one unique power, alright’

Was that a power that gushed out fro on That wasn’t the whole story, was it?

His gaze shi+fted over to Mikael afterwards

Cardinal Mikael was utilising the divinity of the entire cathedral for hie: 105

Attributes: Unshakeable belief Expansive divinity, the holder of Aztal rune Honest Pure, clean faith

+ Hureed are states of e honest with one’s e believer!]

‘Unshakeable belief, is it?’

That man was totally different fro corrupt or unfaithful in his heart, his piety was pure and not stained by a single speck of uncleanliness

Such a thing ca to the boy prince How could the leader of such an organisation reed be this clean?

That enuinely believed his ‘justice’ was the correct one

He wished to establish a new religious view that he believed to be the truth, and lead this flock of corrupt clerics there That man had not a shred of evil intent in hied solely on the attributes alone, then Mikael’s piety and his devotion towards the Goddess exceeded those of even Archbishop Raphael

Wasn’t this truly ironic?

To think that such a man was now the enemy of the Theocratic Empire

However, the fact remained that he had crossed a line He had provoked an existence that he should never have provoked in the first place

“Kill them”

The Seventh Iion of undead screeched out and dashed forward

The opposing Paladins roared out loudly

“shi+elds-!”

Countless shi+elds were raised up to form a barrier

WuxiaWorldS i t e Only

“Piiiikes-!”

Next up, lengthy spears were pointed forward

The living Paladins breathed heavily from under their helms and fro The knights shi+ning in light – the holy undead knights and the one leading the…!
