The Pope, whose eyes had rolled back, ran towards me without thinking.

It’s obvious that you’re being consumed by the power of darkness.

If it had been a previous pope, no matter how heated he might have been, he wouldn’t have been that passionate.

He chuckled and raised his shield.

In the previous two attacks, the Pope’s hand had dug through my shield.

At first I thought I made a mistake, but I wasn’t.

That was definitely power.

The process of throwing a punch has disappeared, leaving only the beginning and the end.

If you know what the other person did, it’s not difficult to figure out how to deal with it.

Because I have the power of purification.

The shield given by Garad contains the power of purification and the power of embrace.

The power of embrace that I possess is not simply to embrace others.

It is selfish to embrace only what I want.

So, if you decide to reject the power of the other person, you can resist it.

The impact and heavy sound flowing through the shield.

I failed to parry, but that’s okay.

Because I confirmed that I can block the power.

The moment the shock subsided, he immediately used healing magic and gritted his teeth.

I saw another fist coming, but I didn’t move my shield.

Because I could see Frey’s sword strike next to me.

The Pope’s power is reduced to dust by hundreds of sword strikes that are thrown to prevent it from regenerating immediately.

“You two sloppy! Are you ready?!”

“The design is complete! All that’s left is to recreate the erased magic!”

“That’s enough!”

You’re saying that all you have to do is hold on! That’s easy! It’s easier to hold on than to win!

“What’s missing for all that money?♡ What the heck♡”

As if responding to my provocation, the Pope suddenly disappeared from the world.

But his power was still felt.

As I turned my gaze to follow him, I saw Faby and Joey.

Even in a situation where your sanity has flown away, you can still aim for that thing instead of me? Is the final boss really the final boss?

As I was hurriedly heading towards where Faby and Joy were, I felt a cold sensation next to me.

The moment I felt him and turned my head, Arthur took the shock by holding up his shield instead of me.

“I’ll take care of the rest! You focus on what you have to do!”

I want to do that too, but it’s not easy! I’m used to the fairy’s vision, so I can’t see my surroundings because it disappears!

I need the fairies! I frowned and pondered, then remembered the time when the fairies had called me.

I don’t know what they did, but they brought me back to earth.

Then, can’t I call it too!?

The moment I decided to call upon them with the power of embrace, I felt the connection that existed between the fairies and me.

Even though there was no separate contract.

As I pulled the line, I heard a loud noise around me.

– Lucida!

– Lucy!

– Lucy called me!

As I shared my power with those who smiled brightly, the fairies’ wings became brighter and at the same time, my surroundings’ vision returned to the third person.

I smiled with satisfaction and held out my shield towards the Pope who appeared behind me.

A refreshing sound heard as soon as the fist touches the ground.

The sound that proves that I have successfully parried.

A sound that lets the other person know that there is an opening.

When I heard that, the corners of my mouth went up and I hit the Pope on the head with my mace.

The feeling of breaking bones has never been so pleasant.

The Pope, seeing my laughter, screamed in anger even while his own head was being torn apart.

“No way!”

“Huh?♡ What the?♡”

“You must not be saved by others! The apostle of the Lord, who must bear all the burdens, is saved by others!”

“Well, I’m not a loner like you~♡ There’s no need to engage in a loner’s whining, right?♡”

“I have to fix it. No, I will fix it. I will definitely fix it.”

Once again the Pope exerts his power, but I am not stupid enough to let the same thing happen to me twice.

I’m used to using my power now. In the end, this is a competition to see who can use their power better.

And there are few people in this world who are as unreasonable as Messaggi.

Unless you’re some kind of human garbage.

“Get out! You bastards!”

“You get out♡ Back~Shin-ah♡”

As I drew my friends into the power of embrace, the darkness could no longer hold them back.

Rather, he slowly retreated as if he was afraid of the light I had scattered.

No matter how crazy you try to act, you can’t be more unreasonable than me, right?

huh?

huh?

You piece of crap!

Hey? If you think about it, that guy’s recovery is also the power of the end!

Then if I give purification to that guy’s body, wouldn’t it make recovery impossible!?

Of course, simply granting power won’t work, but if you put it in a space of purification.

Take a deep breath and run with light steps.

A fairy dance with divinity at the tip of her feet.

“Poohahaha♡ You can’t do anything right~♡ Loser♡ Scrap♡ Trash♡ Remnant♡”

Move your feet based on sacred magic that signifies purification.

I thought the Pope might notice, but he was so angry at my provocation that he lost his senses and couldn’t even sense the divine magic.

“Are you mad?♡ You can’t do anything about it?♡”

Dance with the Pope.

So naturally that you wouldn’t even know she was dancing.

Too beautiful to be seen through a fairy’s eyes.

“Here it is~♡ Here it is~♡ Are your joints creaking because you’re old?♡ You don’t move much?♡”

Before you know it, a magic circle made of divinity and power is drawn on the ground.

The magic circle, which was formed by the dance of fairies and completed by aesthetic sense, continued to emit a faint glow even in the darkness.

“…Wait a minute.”

“You’re late♡ Deungshin-ah♡”

The moment I kicked the magic circle, a realm of divinity appeared around me.

The realm that was yours but is now mine.

– Sloppy!

– Bad slop!

– Dead!

Above that realm the fairies had a definite shape.

“It’s warm.”

“I’m happy.”

“This is Youngae’s territory.”

“I feel like I can do anything.”

Friends have gained will.

The darkness around me lost its place and I found myself smiling at the power rising from deep within me.

“…Oh my god.”

And reason in the eyes of the Pope.

Ah. Crazy.

“Is this also a kind of correctness?”

No, that’s okay. Even the Pope can’t continue to regenerate as he pleases here.

So if we push ahead, it won’t be possible to do the same horrible things we did before.

Push here.

“Idiot!”

“Yeah!”

Frey’s sword easily slices off the Pope’s arm.

The Pope’s body, having lost the power of the devil, is human.

You can’t find the same strength as before.

Shouldn’t have been there.

And strange regenerative powers.

The power of the evil spirit too.

The Pope, an imperfect evil god, had to lose everything to be normal.

“What a nice place.”

But the reality was different.

The Pope returned his damaged arm as if it were nothing and used divine magic.

Divine magic?

“Why are you so surprised? You know what my position was.”

Is it possible to use divine magic even in this situation?

A Pope who not only possesses the power of an evil spirit, but is in fact an evil spirit himself?

You piece of shit! Don’t you manage your fucking sacred properly!?

How much do you want to hear me curse at you for doing this?!

I cursed at the damn god and desperately rushed at the Pope who was trying to intervene in the realm of purification.

But the wall of light around him pushed us away.

“I understand. What you are trying to do to me. To stop him, I must somehow cause disaster in this world.”

“You won’t be able to do anything!”

In an area where control was gradually being lost, Faby and Joy intervened. The two, whose magical skills were unparalleled by anyone else, easily fought for control even against the Pope.

“Do you know that?”

In that situation, the Pope acted calmly and took the attacks from the three of us.

A battle that is fought by blocking only the most critical parts, as if even death cannot be overcome.

“The reason why so many dungeons that should not exist on this land can be maintained is solely due to my power.”

There’s so much useless talk!

As I was rushing forward, cursing both internally and externally, I suddenly thought back to the Pope’s words.

And I realized the fundamental problem with that, if that’s true.

“Crazy!”

I was desperately trying to use the power of purification, but the area did not disappear as I intended.

There remained a territory that Joy and Pavie had forcibly maintained against the Pope.

Only then did I try to shout at the two people, but it was already too late. The darkness on the floor split and a monster jumped out from there.

Not just one, but countless others.

The monsters I remember from Soul Academy are emerging from the darkness.

The dungeon rampage that occurred as the Pope’s authority collapsed. This was something I did not expect.

It was confusing enough that the dungeon would appear right away, but how could I have predicted the dungeon’s rampage?

“Young-ae! Miracle!”

“Not yet!”

Not yet. Not yet. The relic must not be activated.

Especially now that the Pope has come to his senses.

If I perform a miracle, I can defeat the Immortal Legion, but that would mean there’s no future for me!

“This is not the time! This is how we die!”

“Still!”

“Listen to Lucy! Do your best! You sloppy prince!”

“We have to do the best we can!”

That should be left as a last resort.

For now!

“Lucy Allen.”

While I was feeling bewildered by the Immortal Legion, I felt the presence of a man behind me.

“Look ahead.”

The darkness of Erginus surrounded us and swallowed up all the monsters that were rushing towards us.

The Pope, seeing him, used his power to block the darkness, but almost at the same time, a knight appeared, cutting through the waves of demons, and tried to crush the Pope’s body.

“Lucy! I’m here to help you!”

Benedict’s armor was tattered from the aftermath of the fierce battle, but the power in his eyes was clearer than ever.

“Even so, you can’t handle all these troops by yourself, right?”

“Do I look alone?!”

As soon as he shouted, a human army appeared behind him.

The knights of Aln. The soldiers of the kingdom. The priests and knights of the holy land. The magicians of the magic tower. The warriors of the empire. The fairies who should be in the forest. Those who should protect the forest.

Faced an army of demons.

“We will save the world with our own strength!”
