The prayer room had been completely destroyed, and the dense light element was hidden beneath the overwhelming fire element, making it inconspicuous.
However, in the ruins, the original location of the statue of the God of Light was the center where all the light elements converged, and here—it was so dazzling and magnificent that even the firelight could not obscure it.
The tall man was lifted up by the light.
He stood in mid-air, countless light elements washing over Aldrich's body. He was bathed in light, his face unusually expressionless. When his eyes were half-closed, a faint golden hue could be vaguely seen, but it seemed to disappear in an instant.
On Aldrich's body, the emerging, undulating black lines twisted and struggled in the air, resisting the onrushing light elements—
It's like washing away a thick layer of grime.
Aldrich spread his hands, feeling the light flowing through every inch of his body, as if he were enveloped in his ovaries, with the warmth and security of returning to new life, mysterious and peculiar.
“Garcia…”
"Lancaster..."
The man muttered to himself, reciting simple nouns as if he were recalling something, and his tone was frighteningly calm, making him seem like a completely different person.
Just then, another huge explosion came from not far away, and Aldrich was finally drawn to it, instinctively looking up.
In a distant, diagonal position.
Ruan Qingan stood on the dragon's back and, with the help of the scepter, formed a hand seal with one hand, setting up a huge magic circle almost instantly.
When fire elemental magic collides with various attacks—
The explosion occurred suddenly, its sound echoing throughout the heavens and earth!
A powerful shockwave swept in, instantly engulfing waves of fire and spreading infinitely in all directions, even blowing away both opposing sides!
The attackers were forced to retreat, and Ruan Qing'an, seeing this, grabbed the protruding bone spike of the demonic dragon and took the opportunity to retreat.
"Little System, how's Aldridge doing?"
On the back of the dragon, Ruan Qing'an asked in a deep voice, her face pale, almost bloodless, looking particularly pitiful. But even so, she remained upright and did not bend in the slightest.
She was born high above others, how could she possibly stoop to the level of an ant?
037 immediately replied: "I've been observing the male protagonist's situation. The overall concentration of light elements rapidly increased in the early stages, reaching its peak just now, and now it's starting to decline at an extremely fast pace."
[Based on the analysis, the male protagonist's attempt to break the seal had reached the threshold. The seal had developed a vulnerability due to the accumulated light elements, and now the light elements were likely finding this vulnerability and attacking the seal.]
"So, we need to buy him some more time."
As Ruan Qing'an spoke, he gripped the scepter tightly and manipulated the demonic dragon to retreat swiftly, dodging the next wave of attacks.
She looked toward the prayer room in the distance.
There—light elements were almost coalescing into a vortex, clashing with the eerie black power, a vast and powerful force, as if afraid others wouldn't notice, and some had already taken notice…
Seeing this, Nguyen Thanh An released his grip on the Demon Dragon Bone Spike.
Just as Ruan Qing'an was about to condense the magic circle again, her already exhausted body could no longer support the child, and she trembled all over on the back of the dragon.
The attacks came one after another. Nguyen Thanh An instinctively raised his scepter to block them, but was forced to stagger back half a step.
"roar--"
The dragon spread its wings, shielding Ruan Qing'an from the remaining attacks, but then roared in pain and plummeted.
037 couldn't help but say, "[Ancestor, you're about to collapse! Even if you're a Grand Magister, you can't withstand being surrounded by so many people. Stop acting recklessly!]"
"Stopping now would mean all our efforts would be in vain!"
Ruan Qing'an's tone was incredibly firm. Ignoring 037's advice, she completely abandoned her plan to return to defense, and directly grasped the dark gold rose scepter with both hands, bowing her head and silently chanting.
Immediately afterwards—
A fiery red magic circle appeared before the scepter. The intricate patterns were enough to make one dizzy at a glance. Fire elements surged forth, turning the entire sky crimson. Her wine-red hair billowed, and her beautiful profile was pale.
To prevent anyone from interfering with Aldrich in the prayer room, Nguyen Thanh An single-handedly drew everyone in the entire Church of Light and the capital of the Xisha Empire who might have the power to sabotage the prayer room's arrangements to that side.
037 couldn't help but exclaim: "Ancestor, have you gone mad?!"
By doing this, he almost single-handedly provoked the entire empire and the Church of Light, all in order to completely suppress the turmoil that was about to erupt in the prayer room.
Just to break the seal on Aldrich, leaving him in an absolutely safe environment, eliminating all risks, and even...
Reckless and disregarding all consequences.
Finally, an aged voice suddenly came from beneath the ground of the Church of Light: "Dolores, you have crossed the line."
"It's...it's the archbishop who's in seclusion within the church..."
"That's wonderful! The Archbishop is a Grand Magus!"
In the sky, Ruan Qing'an sat slumped on the back of the demonic dragon, his face grim. He stared intently at the ground and patted the dragon, saying, "Retreat! Retreat immediately! We can't withstand this attack!"
Putting aside the difference in their levels, Nguyen Thanh An had been fighting for a long time and was already exhausted. Now, even dodging was extremely difficult for him.
The next moment—
The ground began to shake, and then the shaking intensified.
Finally, the excessively loud noise startled Aldrich in the ruins of the prayer room. He instinctively opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the sound. As his eyes opened, the faint golden light dissipated.
After the ground cracked, the cell beneath was revealed.
Before even seeing a person, golden chains formed from condensed light elements burst through the ground and shot upwards with lightning speed!
The countless, densely packed golden chains fell like a torrential downpour, leaving no room for anyone to dodge.
"Surrender, Dolores."
As the archbishop's aged voice rang out, the golden chains pierced through the dragon's body. The dragon roared in agony, its flesh riddled with gaping holes.
After suffering severe damage, the dragon, formed from fire element, could no longer hold on and its elemental power dissipated completely.
The remaining large golden chains, as if they had eyes, surged toward Ruan Qing'an, binding her completely in an instant and dragging her straight down!
The sky was burned red in large swathes;
The ground was an endless sea of fire.
The proud and noble girl, for the first time in her life, was struck down from a great height, like a flower that had been hit by rain, its roots broken, and fell into the mud...
She's always been high and mighty, how could she do this?
Aldridge instinctively reached out his hand.
"host--"
"Do, Dolores..."
As if finally realizing everything he had lost, he abruptly stopped in his tracks, his entire body frozen in place.
