Inside the medical ship heading to the Vatican.
“Oswald. . . . . . ”
The saintess, Estell, was using all her holy power to heal Oswald. But the demonic power that had infiltrated him was so great that he was still writhing in pain, his black veins bulging.
The holy power was calming him down, but he had been infiltrated with so much demonic power that he would become demonized if left alone.
This was not only the case with Oswald, but also with Kiriel and Haemosu. They were also being infused with holy power by other champions and priests.
The problem was that their holy power alone was not enough to completely expel the demonic power. That was why the medical ship was heading to the holy land, the Vatican.
It was a land blessed by the nine divines and filled with the holy power of the nine divines. In addition, the Vatican was where the cardinals of the sect that served the nine divines and the pope were located.
In addition, there were millions of priests and hundreds of thousands of paladins, so they believed that if they recited the prayer of resurrection through them, they would definitely be able to heal Oswald.
Meanwhile, while Oswald, Kiriel, and Haemosu were being transported to the Vatican, the Dark Brotherhood, Morgul, Archduke Malekis, the Orion and Furion brothers, and others gathered together. They met in Chang’an and discussed what to do next.
“First of all, we need to buy as much time as possible until Oswald and the others recover.”
“Luckily, thanks to Morgul’s magic, the evil god of greed has also been dealt a big blow.”
“More precisely, he appeared incompletely because of this body.”
Everyone looked at the beautiful man with long silver hair with a bewildered expression.
“What’s with those unpleasant looks?”
It was understandable, as their well-laid plans had been shattered because of that guy, leading to this terrible situation.
He was Leviathan, who had used polymorph magic to transform into a human form.
In fact, Leviathan had fled to the sea after being defeated by Ouroboros, the giant shadow snake, and had used magic to shrink his body and hide. He then returned to the place of the seal and met with Aurei and Quetzalcoatl, and came here with them.
“Come on, come on, don’t mind that idiot. . . Let’s talk about something constructive.”
Valerian changed the subject, refreshing the atmosphere.
“An idiot? Was there one here?”
But Leviathan’s nonsense kept interrupting, and the atmosphere became distracted.
“First, let’s gather all the transcendents of this world.”
“Incidentally, Empress Galadriel of the Elondil Empire is said to be leading an army herself.”
Emperor Galadriel of the Elondil Empire was the champion of the Sun God Azir before she became the emperor of the empire. That was why she could be said to be one of the outstanding transcendents.
“Is that true?”
All eyes turned to Archduke Malekis of the Saharan Empire.
“I. . . Is it true?”
Of course, Archduke Malekis, who had never heard of the news, passed the ball to Malarus, who was standing next to him.
“Yes, it is true. Sun Emperor Galadriel has decided to come with thirty airships and a million elves.”
They had already deployed two field armies. . . But their troops had been halved when they were swept away by the battle between Ouroboros and Leviathan near Kaifeng County.
“That’s unexpected.”
“But the world is on the brink of destruction, so she wouldn’t be stupid enough to just stand by and watch.”
Then, a Yaksha warrior approached Zaragal, a transcendent from the Yuan Kingdom who was present at the scene, and whispered something.
“This is serious. The demon army is moving from the north to the west.”
“What’s that all about? Could it be to eliminate a threatening presence?”
When everyone thought that was possible, Morgul suggested otherwise.
“Greed will want to ascend to his complete form again. Then he’ll prepare for the ascension ritual once more.”
Aurei and Quetzalcoatl turned pale at his words.
“Surely, he’s not aiming for the dragons of the Dragon Spine Mountains?”
“Certainly, dragon hearts. . . would be a very attractive sacrifice.”
Aurei looked at Quetzalcoatl and uttered a word.
“Buster Call. . . . . . ”
“Then all the sleeping lich dragons will wake up.”
“Is there anything else to choose from in the current situation?”
“Hmm. . . . . . ”
At his words, they could tell at once what Buster Call meant. Then Morgul asked about the number of lich dragons.
“How many lich dragons are left at the moment?”
“There are 497 individuals left.”
“That’s a lot.”
“Among them are those who have slept for tens of thousands of years.”
“Okay, whether it’s a Buster Call or whatever. . . It’s better to do it sooner rather than later. If we don’t, the younger ones will be sacrificed.”
At Morgul’s words, Aurei disappeared with light, and Quetzalcoatl also left.
