A white sword of light slashed through the air, leaving behind only afteri fancythe entire area with afteries

I demolished the ruin in front of me into rubble I then slashed the rubble into dust After that, I happily put away ht sword away in my sleeve

Yes, that was correct My sleeve was h to act as my scabbard

“This sword really only has a sword hilt?” Harloys asked I nodded with certainty

My sword didn’t have a blade This wasn’t because it was inconed it without a blade to begin with This sword of n that had never been seen in this one before and which I had plagiarized froinal world

“May the force be with you Cough, I ht is sca¹) you”

I was pretending to be a devout believer of Holy Light as ht Unfortunately, I didn’t have any audience to enjoy my performance or make comments for ht

Its hilt was less than one foot long Its color was just like white jade, and it ar in the hilt where the blade should have been That was an opening I designed frohtsaber

There were no extra decorations, nor was there any gem to make it look fancier The only decoration it had was an eon scales The emblem also had a practical function: to prevent ather on the sword hilt, forhtsaber

I casually tossed outit whirl around in the air as if it was an agile s As it flew, it slew seven skeleton soldiers in quick succession, without even leaving behind any dust

“Buzz!”

When Dawn returned to ht which was both ice-cold yet also scorching hot was hu as if it was still unsatisfied with its harvest

I nodded with satisfaction As ht sword, Dawn

“Next up, I should try on scales on the sword hilt There was a switch there which would change Dawn’s functions

“Stop wasting time You’ll have plenty of tiht now”

I was rather surprised to hear Harloys’ words There were no enemies here, so why did she need my protection?

I instantly understood when she suddenly opened up her Soul World library, sending countlessaround in the sky

Harloys was currently in her young girl Gold Elf for at me from the center of her library

“You intend to ascend to the next power level at this ti to beco the obvious Protect h our battles”

Harloys then began uttering an incantation, causing the flying ical books to be stirred up into a frenzy

I had already stayed here in this ruin for one full week in order to finish leveling up to Level 4 Since I had achieved the next power level, Harloys could now do the saer here for her sake

It was noo months after the start of San Antonio’s civil war This war didn’t see down one bit It was rather the opposite The war seeed on

With thispassed, it was noho was behind Duke Barrot, as well as who had been powerful enough to make the demons and humans temporarily ally with each other

This individual was quite familiar to me He was Sophocles the Deceiver

This Chaos Main God Demon Lord who loved schemes and art had used a simple yet old trick to successfully fool the world

Since two Chaos Main Gods, Sophocles and Karwenz, had been involved, it was no surprise that Maria had died due to this scheme

As for whose situation was the most unfortunate and aard due to this San Antonio civil war, that would naturally be h I was an innocent who had gotten dragged into this, I was far luckier in comparison to the Holy Church, which had lost soldiers as well as reputation

In a norotten involved in a country’s internal war, especially if that country was a hua empire Since San Antonio was a devout worshi+pper of Holy Light, this otten involved

The Holy Church was a religious faction, after all Not to ion of San Antonio No matter on or lost in San Antonio’s civil war, San Antonio would still be a Holy Light worshi+pping country The Holy Church wouldn’t lose anything that way

And if the Holy Church participated in the civil war, not only would the royalty of other countries be extreious authority to interfere with a country’s royal authority, but if the victor of the civil asn’t the side that the Holy Church supported, then the victor would obviously have an incredibly bad relationshi+p with the Holy Church

San Antonio was one of the Holy Church’s in with Since the Holy Church had already taken many blows to its reputation, it wouldn’t be able to afford such a major blow

Unfortunately, this was no “noret involved fro

Infor San Antonio’s proper successor, Princess Maria, of being a Chaos Girl as naturally inclined to favor the deiven to support this claiher-ups saw this information, they immediately felt that they had to intervene San Antonio was one of their core areas of support They absolutely couldn’t afford to lose it That was how Pope Caloma and several major Cardinals were lured into involvement with San Antonio’s situation

Pope Caloma and the Cardinals were no idiots It was a basic political instinct to bet on both sides to win Although the Holy Church accused Maria of being an eneht in public, they didn’t cut off all possibility of reconciliation They actually sent secret envoys to negotiate with Maria

The Holy Church’s negotiation proposal was basically so Maria tooff all relation with the Chaos Abyss, and that she was a devout worshi+pper of Holy Light In exchange, the Holy Church would cancel its display of enotiation had really worked, Maria indeed would have agreed as she didn’t have a good relationshi+p with the Chaos Faction to begin with, and she surely would have considered how the great majority of her subordinates and citizens orshi+ppers of Holy Light

Yet, the problem appeared with the Holy Church’s envoy

The envoy was real He even had Pope Caloma’s personally-written letter However, when the envoy was captured by the furious citizens, the content of the letter had been swapped Originally, the Holy Church was just trying their best to ask for Maria’s surrender, no matter if it worked or not, but the letter apped for one which announced that the Holy Church was starting a crusade against the heretic Maria until she was dead

This lit a fire in the citizens’ hearts The mastermind behind the scenes then added even more fuel to the fire
