Chapter 537 Big Guy! Attack them! In the center of the Sanctuary, at the tallest and most magnificent church building.
Inside the church, Pope Granger sat on his throne deep within the empty sanctuary, wearing a loose white robe with gold patterns and a golden crown.
On the chest of the robe, a golden sun woven from pure gold shone brightly.
An elderly man with a weathered face stood beside the throne.
The old man's robe was similar to Granger's, but not as exquisite.
Granger had already sensed Rein's arrival the moment Wood brought him into the Sanctuary.
Seeing the brutality of Raine before she entered Joan of Arc's palace, he sighed deeply and made a cross on his shoulders, chest, and forehead.
May the Holy Light protect you on your journey.
Like Granger, the old man bowed his head and made the sign of the cross on his chest before speaking.
"Your Holiness, judging from Renn's appearance, he's probably not so easy to appease..."
Granger sighed, sounding disappointed.
“I told Elder Four and the others long ago that Joan of Arc’s man was Renne, but they didn’t take it seriously and naively thought that Renne was just a fourth or fifth-rank kid.”
"They even wanted to bring Ryan along to be tortured because of Fred's coma."
"Nonsense!"
"ignorance!"
"Arrogant!"
"Having sat in this high position for so many years, do you really think that because my Church of Light has a million followers, we are invincible on the continent?!"
“Now that the lion, Fred, has awakened, let alone Renn who is now at the sixth rank, even if he were at the fourth or fifth rank, who would dare to touch him?”
"Do you really think the Grey family's Lion Knights are pushovers? Do you really think those people from the Magic Association will just stand by and do nothing?"
"Sigh—" Granger sighed deeply again.
Elder Finn, who was standing to the side, also sighed and said, "Then what should we do? Judging from the strength that Renn just showed, Javier and the others will not be a match for Renn."
Granger paused for a moment, then said, "Let him make a scene. As for Havel and the others..."
"One can die, but they can't all die. I will intervene to stop Renn if necessary."
"After all, they are considered the highest power in the church, and it would be detrimental to the church if they all returned to the embrace of the God of Light."
"As for the Holy Cross Legion... sigh—" Granger didn't speak, but his meaning was clear: send them out as cannon fodder to be killed by Renn.
...
"My lord! Something terrible has happened! A large contingent of the Holy Crusaders has arrived outside the palace! Judging from the patterns on their armor, they are the elite of the Holy Crusaders!"
Wood, who was guarding the palace gate, saw the Holy Cross Legion arrive and hurriedly ran into the palace to report to Renn.
He dared not fight the Holy Cross Legion; if he did, he would be labeled a heretic!
The two met in the palace corridor, and Ryan glanced at Wood and spoke indifferently.
"This is none of your business. If you don't want to die, find somewhere to hide."
Wood nodded quickly, bowed to Raine, and then began searching for a secluded spot in the palace.
Renn slowly walked out of the palace, and with each step he took, his aura involuntarily leaked out a bit more. The glass in the corridor shattered instantly as Renn's aura rose.
Upon arriving at the palace gates, Renn unleashed his full power, his pale golden eyes turning blood red.
Outside the palace, hundreds of heavily armored Holy Cross knights, spears in hand, surrounded the palace entrance, blocking all access to the palace.
Following the legion were a large number of priests dressed in priestly robes, who continuously applied buffs to the Holy Cross Knights.
The combined might of all the Holy Cross Knights was unified; they practiced a breathing technique that allowed them to briefly combine their fighting spirit, thus struggling to resist Rein's terrifying power.
