The white-haired boy reached out and placed his hand on Li Aili's shoulder, hooking and pulling her.
Li Aili felt the scenery blur before her eyes, and the next moment, she was standing inside the St. Sophie Cathedral.
Inside the Hall of Praise of Light, everything was bathed in a golden glow from the candlelight.
The dome is painted with the breathtaking "Praise to God".
The best craftsmen used their exquisite skills to carve the Holy Scripture of Light into a relief on the wall.
Finally, the relief is plated with pure gold.
The sun emblem was carved on a smooth white marble floor and then cast in molten gold.
Bathed in the warm yellow light of the sacred lamps, the entire sanctuary exudes a serene and peaceful static beauty.
Li Aili: "??"
The Knights of Light guarding this Hall of Praise of Light seem oblivious to Li Aili and the white-haired boy.
Even though it was late at night, they still stood upright, like statues.
Just then, abrupt footsteps suddenly came from outside the main hall.
"Tap, tap, tap."
It was the echo of metal boots stepping on the floor tiles.
All Li Aili saw was that the knights in the Hall of Praise of Light had their arms resting on the hilts of their swords.
The leading paladin of light had a piece of holy cloth wrapped around his armor.
"The church grounds are off-limits; trespassers will be put to death."
The merciful Templar Commander issued a final warning.
With a loud crash, the door collapsed to the ground.
A mysterious intruder, cloaked in shadow and shrouded in darkness, stepped into the forbidden area of the sanctuary.
"Intruding into the forbidden land of the gods, how dare you!" The leading Holy Knight drew his longsword.
The fifty Holy Knights of Light in the hall shouted in unison, "Death penalty!"
Its momentum was like a rainbow, and its sound was like rolling thunder.
Instead of retreating, the person advanced.
The Templar Commander unleashed two sword strikes, one horizontal and one vertical.
Then, the sword light transformed into a massive, radiant cross-shaped sword strike, attacking the invaders with the force of a tsunami and a landslide.
Wherever the sword of light slashed, bricks and stones shattered, a sight that terrified the heart.
In the blink of an eye, the 'Cross Holy Light Slash' was almost upon the intruder's face.
Li Aili fearfully looked away, terrified that the next scene would see her perfectly fine being 'split into four'.
However, the intruder did not budge. It was as if there was an invisible protective shield around him, which easily blocked the cross-shaped holy light slash.
Li Aili: "!"
The Templar Knights were clearly more surprised than Ellie.
"You are... a dragon knight?"
The armored figure finally uttered its first words after entering.
"You're half right."
"If you've ever been exposed to forbidden history from 1000 years ago, you'll know that the highest rank of a knight is called—"
A platinum dragon phantom appeared behind the man.
It was a platinum dragon.
The Holy Knights of Light no longer cared about chivalry.
They all drew their swords, but it was too late...
"A dragon lord! This is a dragon lord!"
The man carried a simple, unadorned longsword at his waist.
As the sword was drawn, the platinum dragon seemed to possess the soul of the longsword.
The sword rose and fell, as if a giant dragon were opening its mouth and spewing its breath.
For the creatures living here, it would be a catastrophe, with all things perishing.
Li Aili instinctively closed her eyes tightly.
However, she seemed to be observing what was happening within the Holy See from another dimension.
Inside the Hall of Praise of Light, the dome collapsed, the walls crumbled, and the ground cracked and caved in.
The paladins, clad in white armor, collapsed to the ground, and slowly, crimson blood seeped from their armor.
Finally, the blood slowly coalesced into a circular magic circle.
"Ah, we've reached the crucial point," the boy who had been silent all along whispered a reminder.
Li Aili, who had been keeping her eyes closed, then opened them.
She was almost stunned by the terrible state of the sanctuary at that moment.
The only survivor from the Templar side was probably the Templar Commander.
His armor was uneven, and his smock had been blown off.
He lay on the ground, vomiting mouthfuls of blood.
Li Aili pursed her lips, watching the intruder, Arthur Cold Jade, approach the dying Templar Knight step by step.
Yes, she recognized Arthur's voice.
"Why...why..."
Arthur held his longsword, aimed it at the Templar Knight's throat, raised it, and then lowered it.
Blood splattered.
He twisted his wrist slightly.
It's like casually crushing an ant that's blocking your way.
"After you die, ask your beloved God."
Arthur turned around, raised his hand, and recited the summoning incantation.
"Accept the offering, answer my call, Lord of the Infernal Demons, Asmodeus."
Instantly, thick black smoke billowed from the floor of the entire church.
The white-haired boy disgustedly pulled the object that was floating in mid-air.
The knights' corpses were swallowed up by this 'black mist'.
Conversely, a "person" emerged from the very center of the black mist.
This person had long black hair and blood-red eyes, resembling pigeon blood.
It has a pair of huge, winding horns on its head.
But this great ruler of purgatory was dressed in the magnificent clothes of a human.
A black, fully embroidered gown paired with a red lace lace blouse. (Note 1)
His gestures and movements made him resemble a well-mannered nobleman more than some of the human nobles Li Aili had ever seen.
The Demon Lord clasped his hands together, leaning on a staff inlaid with a black gem from hell.
His blood-red eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, swept across the surroundings.
"Tsk," the Great Khan clicked his tongue softly, "He really threw a huge tantrum."
"What has the Holy Light Church done to anger you this time?"
