Chapter 539 Whoever has the stronger fist is right! The residence of the Fourth Elder Jokic was not far from that of Audrey. Rein arrived at Jokic's palace in just two teleports.
Jokic's palace looks very similar to Joan of Arc's; both are modern church-style structures, grand and imposing, instantly dispelling any sense of disrespect.
The number of Holy Cross Knights guarding the palace was several times greater than that of Audreyna, surrounding the palace in layers upon layers.
"Judgment!!"
As soon as Renn flew over the palace, the Holy Cross Knights combined their fighting spirit to condense a holy light spear, which, under the control of the Holy Cross Knight captain, shot fiercely towards Renn in the sky.
A hint of interest appeared in Renn's eyes. The Church of Light's secret technique, which could gather the fighting spirit of the entire legion, was not entirely useless.
This newly formed spear of holy light was even more powerful than Audrey's greatsword of light from before.
This confirms the saying that quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
With a wave of his hand, he deflected the incoming holy light spears and flew directly past the group of knights into the palace. With another wave of his hand, a magical barrier blocked the palace gates.
Inside the palace, Renn looked around, scanning the entire palace.
Nobody here?
There was no one in the palace, not even the nuns who usually handled daily affairs.
"They ran away??" Renn said through gritted teeth, his face grim.
Rein released all his mental energy, and the massive mental energy spread like a tide from Rein to the entire Holy Domain.
Soon, Renn found Jokic's figure underground in an inconspicuous palace.
Jokic also sensed Renn's mental energy, and the two exchanged a glance across the distance.
The next moment, Jokic suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of fighting spirit and sprinted toward the palace in the center of the Sanctuary.
The moment Audrey's life force vanished, Jokic knew he was no match for Ryan.
Even if they were to seek help from the Second Elder to fight against Rein, the odds would likely be against them.
He believed that the only one who could save him now was the Pope.
Pope Granger is a mid-level seventh rank. Even if he is on Joan of Arc's side, he shouldn't just stand by and watch her die, right?
Raine sensed Jokic's intentions and vanished from the palace in an instant. Before Jokic could even run a few steps, Raine blocked his path.
Jokic is a middle-aged man who looks much younger than Audrey.
With his short, wavy, light gray hair, thick eyebrows, and light stubble on his face, he looked like a man with a story to tell.
He was wearing a white pastor's robe, with a white cross necklace showing through his white shirt.
Jokic glanced at Renn, who was hovering in the air, and subtly took a step back.
"Rayne! Do you know what you're doing?!" Jokic said through gritted teeth.
"Don't you consider the relationship between the Church of Light and the Empire at all?! Aren't you afraid that the Church of Light and the Empire will go to war?!"
"Joan of Arc is a saint of our Church of Light. Regardless of the reason, shouldn't she be punished for losing her innocence?"
Unfazed by Jokic's questioning, Ryan retorted.
"Joan of Arc is my woman. You have tortured her. Shouldn't I be angry? Shouldn't I seek revenge?!"
"I don't care about war. If you want war, come on, I, Renn, will fight you to the bitter end!"
"You have your reasons, and I have mine."
