”Saleen, do you feel death now?” Theisio was chained by the Shackles of the Fallen, but he was not afraid.

While the power of the Shackles of the Fallen were powerful, the Origin Stone of Darkness was gradually cutting away the binding of the chains. It would not be long before the Origin Stone of Darkness would free him.

”Death?” A crisp sound was heard and Saleen saw a silhouette enter from outside the cemetery of the giant beneath the Origin Stone of Darkness. Not even the Origin Stone of Darkness was able to prevent her from getting near.

That was Sika. Sika is here!

Saleen only got anxious then. Sika advanced? However, a level ten nature priest would not be able to do much. Theisio's level was too high. Not even Sika would be able to take him on.

”Sika, run!” Saleen shouted with Thundering Shock, hoping to etch his words into Sika's mind.

It did not matter if he died, but if Sika ended up dead as well, there would be no one to take care of their children.

”Hahahaha!” Sika laughed and took a weapon out from her space equipment. It was not the staff that she usually carried, but a huge metal pillar.

That metal pillar looked rather familiar to Saleen.

Sika was shorter than Saleen. The pillar was so thick that she was unable to wrap her arms around it.

The height was something else altogether. The metal pillar was almost 18 meters tall. Sika took and swung it around like, looking like an ant swing a branch.

Boom!

The entire Origin Stone of Darkness shook. Theisio's expression changed drastically. That stone had been hovering in the air, and Sika swiped it to the ground with just one swing.

Theisio grew immensely confident after he fell, but he was quickly brought back to reality by Sika's attack. The power of the Origin Stone of Darkness was not his. He was not even able to borrow the stone's power. He was just a monster that the stone gave birth to.

Saleen and his people stared with their mouths gapping.

Nailisi murmured to herself, ”Sister Sika, are you going on a rampage?”

Sika had no intention of going on a rampage. She was wearing a cloth armor that Saleen crafted for her. The muscular lines on her body were smooth, and she was lithe and vigorous, instead of physically powerful.

There was no messy aura coursing about her. Life overflowed from Sika's body. The metal pillar in her hand was of the same state.

Nature power filled every cell of her body and emanated outwards, forming a Nature Territory.

Saleen finally was able to recall that the metal pillar, which was hollow, was from Raphael's magic tower. He had once entered the metal pillar itself. But did the pillar shrink?

Saleen had seen many ferocious martial artists, and in the Kingdom of Metatrin, there were humans who were about two meters and a half in height. Demons were even bigger, reaching five meters in height. All of the warriors wielded maces, halberds, great lances, long axes...

But Saleen had never seen or heard of someone making a weapon out of a pillar.

Sika simply swung the metal pillar around and hit the Origin Stone of Darkness. She stepped on it and wherever she stepped, fauna began to form.

Saleen's Elemental Eye caught sight of something very peculiar. There were lifeforms from another world in the metal pillar, supplying endless nature power to Sika.

The pillar carried another world in it.

”That can't be!” Theisio saw Sika running at him and was unable to believe that one woman had cut his power supply from the Origin Stone of Darkness using a peculiar weapon.

The Origin Stone of Darkness no longer supplied any power to Theisio and the injuries on his body began to bleed.

The three arrows that Eleanor shot continued to work. His purple hair turned grey and his life force draining away. His body seemed to have been cut up by the power of space, forming more wounds. Fear began to well inside his mind.

”I've heard from Rossen that you're in trouble, Saleen, so I got here as soon as possible. Who's this monster, by the way?” Sika swung the pillar at Theisio's face.

”It's Lord Pope Theisio himself. Our pope here has fallen and betrayed his god, becoming a monster. It's a pathetic sight.” Saleen saw the dazed look in Theisio's eyes and took the chance to ridicule him. His words were uttered using Thundering Sound.

Saleen failed to notice that the Ring of Cosmos on his finger had stopped spinning, without releasing any peculiar power. If Sika had not showed up, the ring might have been able to save his life.

Saleen's Thundering Sound hit Theisio's mind. The pope was shaken. Why did I fall? Isn't all this just to protect the Lord of Glory? I'm here to kill Saleen, so that the faith of the Lord of Glory can spread in this plane.

But why did I feel exhilarated from the violence I wrought earlier? Is power really going to corrupt people?

The thoughts were unable to stay in his mind for more than mere fleeting moments, as Sika's metal pillar slugged him in the face.

There was no clash, as if the power of the entire world was focused on one point. Theisio's head disappeared.
