usurping the throne

At the same moment when Levant met Bray who stopped him on the wilderness, in the middle of the night in Wilderness County, a group of people was sneaking into the mercenary union under the cover of night.

Someone in the trade union got up in the middle of the night to make trouble, and saw the shadowy figure on the wall in a daze.

Rubbing his eyes, the man became more awake and wanted to yell.

The neck was cold, and the blood in his body flowed out from the cut neck.Crimson blood spurted out, staining the wall in front of that person red.

Rhyme was in his own room, serious.

He sent everyone out, so that there would be no more survivors in the mercenary union in Wilderness County before dawn.

In the bright Holy See thousands of miles away, the Pope did not fall asleep late at night.In other words, he had already fallen asleep, and was awakened by a news in his sleep, so he just sat there without saying a word.

The Pope was wearing a nightgown, staring with a serious expression on his chin—a message sent urgently through special magic.

Behind him, someone in the shadows asked. "Is there anything I need to do?"

"Is there anything else that can be done?" the pope asked with narrowed eyes.

Three days ago, around this time, his most promising successor, Lime, sent an urgent message through teleportation magic.

The news that Lime conveyed was actually only a short letter. The general content of the letter was that the mercenary union "has a light coming, which can bring the dead back to life and carrion to be reborn." 'However, Lime, who was present at the time, could confirm that there had never been a trace of light around the mercenary union.Carrion comes back to life, and the dead come back to life.These are true, but Light Descent is an outright big lie.Just when Lime wanted to go deep into the investigation of the mercenary union, he suddenly discovered that there was a suspected pseudo sanctuary in the mercenary union.

That night, the Pope summoned several bishops. The 12 people discussed it all night, and finally decided to do everything they could. On the one hand, they sent out all the 'archbishops' who were left by the Holy See to guard.The purpose is to intercept and kill the mercenary who seems to have stepped into the false sanctuary.On the other hand, the Pope personally signed the document, directly naming the mercenary union as a heresy by the Holy See, and the Holy See will comprehensively "eradicate heresy" against all members of the mercenary union.

And today, three days later, in the middle of the night, the Pope received another letter, which actually came from 'there' and mentioned the same thing as three days ago.The letter asked the Pope to grab something from the mercenary by name.That kind of thing can bring the dead back to life, and can make people whose strength can't go any further break through the level limit.

The superiors of the Holy See, who should be more convinced of the light, actually want to borrow heresy things?Is it because they have doubts about their belief in the light?Or is it that the 'over there' that is higher than the Holy See here, those people who are farther away from the goddess of light actually do not believe in light devoutly in essence?

The Pope has always believed in his faith and has always been the most devout believer of the Goddess of Light.In order to maintain the light, he did not hesitate to use all means.But at this time, a letter from his superior told him that the superior would rather snatch the heresy's evil than maintain the pure faith of light.

This time, the Pope did not call all the bishops together to discuss together as he did three days ago.Instead, he thought about it silently all night.

The instigator of all this is the mercenary of that false sanctuary!If the above letters are all true, then the culprit of all this is him and the 'heresy' he owns!

First, they began to sell medicines that could heal people's wounds quickly to rob faith and believers' offerings, and then rejected the Holy See's intention to cooperate.That mercenary must die, and all the heretics in the mercenary union must die!

until it was bright.

The warm sun shone on the Pope.

The eyes of the Pope, who had been sitting withered all night, gradually brightened.

He stood up without looking back, but turned his face to the sun.The warm light shone on the old face of the Pope, which made the Pope so warm that people couldn't help being reborn and close to him.Under the sun, it seemed that the Pope, who was himself the embodiment of light, had already made the final decision.He said to the people behind him, "Call Rhyme back, immediately, whatever he's doing."

After giving these words, the Pope turned around and returned to the table, bowed his head and wrote two letters. After printing the letters with an engraved seal, the Pope handed the letters to the person who had been hiding in the shadows behind him, "Wait for Lyme to come back. To Lyme, and one to the bishops."

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to a place later, all of you don't need to follow." After explaining the last sentence, the Pope walked out of the room in his nightgown.Walking around in the courtyard of the Holy See, after many twists and turns, he came to a very secluded place. The old man moved a certain boulder with his arm, revealing a secret passage in it.

Going down the steps of the secret passage, after crossing a deep underground river, the Pope stood in front of a huge, unusually brilliant stone wall.

The coat of arms of the Holy See is engraved on the stone wall.

The pope's wrinkled hands groped along the indentations in the top of the stone.

He has actually stagnated for many years in the initial stage of the sanctuary.A hundred years ago, when he had just stepped into the false sanctuary and took over the post of pope, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to go to that world to seek a higher direction.The reason he gave up at that time was that the believers in this land needed the guidance of light, and the evil in this land also needed to be expelled.

Later, some people left after being promoted over the years, and some people had no hope of advancing and chose to stay here.

But only he remains unchanged.From beginning to end, he never doubted his faith.

He never regretted his choice, stuck on the level barrier without regret, and finally died of old age.Never before, never will.

A 'baby' who can break through the level limit?What's the use of breaking through the level not through the belief in light and one's own perception of light elements?

And now, he has to do one thing, to completely eliminate all possibilities of the development of "a certain risk factor".

The Pope took two steps back, holding the scepter that never left her body for a moment, gathering light elements and outputting them to the huge stone wall.

The light merged into the stone wall, just like a stone thrown into the sea, it will disappear soon.But even in the face of continuous extraction, the pope did not stop inputting light elements.

Countless light spots merged into stream-like light bars, and countless light bars merged into the stone wall.

Finally, the stone wall began to glow, absorbing all bright elements more quickly.

The pope's face began to become dry and shriveled, as if the moisture in his body had been drained.The whole person shrank rapidly, and his whole life was being overdrawn.

Faced with this situation, the expression of the man holding the staff remained firm.

Finally, at a certain point, the stone wall emitted a dazzling light, directly breaking through the obstacles on the ground.A huge light burst out from the ground and went straight to the sky.

All those who saw it excitedly knelt down and thanked the Goddess of Light for the miracle.

All the sanctuaries and false sanctuaries stranded on the mainland for various reasons changed their expressions drastically at this time!

"The channel is closing!"

"The access to there is closing?! Why? How?"

"All passages are closed. There is no way!"

On the mainland, all hidden or well-known passages leading to higher places were all closed in a few breaths.

Everyone didn't even have time to react and ran to the entrance, and they already sensed that the entrance was all closed.

The sanctuaries and false sanctuaries that were originally left in this world were completely left in this world, and they lost the opportunity to go to a higher level forever.Afterwards, all the false sanctuaries who have been promoted will also know that they may have had the opportunity to choose after arriving at the sanctuary.But this opportunity was cut off for some unknown reason.

Perhaps, everyone on this continent will lose the opportunity to advance to a higher realm.

On the mainland, some people are broken, some are angry, and some are desperate.

But the instigator who caused all this finally took back the scepter after the passage was closed, and stopped the input of light elements.

The Pope, who was thin and shriveled like a completely skinny corpse, moved outside bit by bit at a speed that was a thousand times slower than when he came.

Activating the door of light left by the Holy See has drained all of his gathered light elements and his vitality.

He has now lost all light elemental perception and turned into a poor old man who is about to die.But the poor old man's face showed no resignation, but the satisfaction of finally fulfilling his wish.

He has indeed fulfilled his wish.Even if there is a one-in-a-thousand chance that the 'heresy' mercenary escaped, it doesn't matter.Because the escaped mercenaries will never reach that world, they can only live in panic like mice on this continent.To activate the Gate of Light and close all passages is his final determination and decision.He absolutely does not allow heresy to appear in 'that' world, to destroy the belief in the light of those people at a higher level inside that world of the Holy See.

He doesn't care even if all the stranded people in this continent are dragged into the despair of the level barrier, even if it is impossible for this continent to produce a 'field' from now on.All he wants is absolute purity within the light.

At this moment when the Pope was willing to spend his life to close the passage, Levant was underground in the wilderness.

Yes, it's amazing, Levant is in the underground palace in the wilderness.

Last night, after Bray told Levant the news, he left in a hurry, probably going back 'over there'.Levant reversed course.He didn't want to die, not looking for death.

With the configuration of more than a dozen false sanctuaries and seven sanctuaries, Levant thought he didn't have the confidence to make a breakthrough, so he spent all his last money and went to exchange with Ah Zi for high-level substitute puppets. Entering into one's own consciousness, and then manipulating the puppet to tentatively break through the door, while changing direction non-stop, and ran to another 'passage' closest to him.

As a result, the puppet's tactics did not fool those people's eyes.

It can also be said that under absolute level suppression, Levant's tricks were seen through by the opponent at a glance.

Feeling that the stand-in puppet was dealt with by a sword, and a group of people were chasing him in the direction where he was escaping, Levant did not choose to release the second stand-in puppet, but ran for his life at a faster speed.Since one is useless, don't expect the second to work wonders.

But at this critical juncture, Ah Zi said, "Tete, turn to the west."

"What?" Levant asked, but his body turned around following Ah Zi's instructions.

Now he is being chased by the cross-level sanctuary, even if he stops for a moment, he may be caught up by them in the next second.

Ah Zi: "I feel that there is something there. It is very important. You go there!"

Levant followed Ah Zi's instructions, and suddenly saw a cliff with a particularly strange shape appearing on the originally endless wasteland after turning around.

The cliff was obviously not there for a second, as if it was missed by such a step, the cliff suddenly appeared.

Levant: "Where is this?"

Ah Zi: "There is a road over there! Follow the entrance and go in!"

Levant: "Okay."

Even though there were pursuers relentlessly chasing after him, Levant still chose to listen to Ah Zi without saying a word.

Entering along the entrance of the cliff, it turned out to be a spiral artificial staircase.

The stairs spiraled down, seemingly leading directly to the ground.

Levant leaned on the wall, lit a piece of talisman paper to illuminate, and turned down.

The further it went down, Levant's forehead began to ache.

After walking for about two or three hours, Levant finally reached the end of the stairs.
