Nearly 180,000 demons died on the last day alone.
With fewer than 50,000 demons remaining, the knights were on the verge of victory. Liu Lang and Xiao Dai breathed a sigh of relief; this kind of battle was truly exhausting.
Fortunately, the people who came were Liu Lang and Xiao Dai. Liu Lang could provide assistance by crafting and strengthening equipment, and Xiao Dai could participate in this battle because of the source of light within him.
Otherwise, they would undoubtedly lose!
But just then, a sharp sound suddenly came from the vortex in the sky!
"That's it! That's it!! That's it!!!"
? ? ?
The nuns and Liu Lang and the others also raised their heads.
Suddenly, the crack in the sky shattered! Then, a gigantic eye appeared in the sky!
That look... it's the Pope!?
The nuns stared in shock at the Pope's enormous face that filled their vision!
What's going on?
Why is the Pope here?
"We passed the test? We passed?"
"Something's not right. We still look normal, but we also have a terrifying expression on our faces."
"Why is His Holiness the Pope so big? Are we really still in the Saintess Trials?"
The nuns were whispering amongst themselves, while Vivius stared blankly at the Pope's face.
The Pope's aura... is no longer so singular!
No... how is that possible?
How could the Pope...?
Shortly after the eyes appeared, the vortex below completely collapsed, and the battlefield below stopped spawning knights and demons.
But then a flash of light illuminated the entire arena!
Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, but when they opened them again, they were surprised to find that they had arrived in a new scene.
No!
This isn't a new setting, it's... it's a shattered arena!
It's the ruins of the place where they just fought!
Liu Lang also noticed changes in the surrounding environment; for example, the nearby mountains and distant forests had turned into darkness.
Was it hidden? Or was it destroyed on the spot?
And... who exactly is this person in front of me?!
Seeing that Brother Liu Lang had become wary, Xiao Dai also raised his shield and looked at the person in front of him.
His expression was one of utter shock, just like the nun behind him, because...the person in front of him!
That is none other than the current Pope of the Holy Church—Namelu!
"Your Majesty the Pope!"
All the nuns, including Veraia, knelt before the Holy Pope and began to pray.
Praise be to the Holy Pope! Praise be to the Holy Church! Praise be to the Empire!
This holy pope was dressed in a pure white papal robe inlaid with gold patterns, and wore a triple crown of thorns. A prismatic gem symbolizing holy light floated at the top of his scepter. This was exactly the image that Sisters Villania and others remembered.
"Congratulations! You have defeated these demons and saved these Lionheart Knights."
Nameru's golden eyes shimmered with divine light, and a compassionate smile graced her lips. As she approached, the bricks and stones in the arena moved on their own, piecing together the relief murals belonging to the Holy Church.
But Liu Lang felt that this was the real crisis!
No...no!
Something's wrong with this pope! Although he couldn't see anything amiss, he absolutely couldn't let her get close!
Liu Lang threw out his flying sword in an attempt to intercept the Pope, and the Holy Pope actually stopped in his tracks!
However, Liu Lang felt like he was being watched instantly!
It wasn't just the Pope who was watching them, but also the nuns behind them!
Verania was also somewhat taken aback by Liu Lang's behavior, but when she looked up and met the Pope's gaze, she suddenly saw her own reflection as a succubus in those golden pupils!
At that very moment, in Verania's eyes, Pope Nameru's lips twisted into an inhuman arc that perfectly matched Verania's demonized form!
What! ?
Realizing something was wrong, Villania stood up again, and the nuns once again focused their attention on Saint Villania.
Only Vivius looked at Pope Nameru with some resistance.
"The trial is over, but the light will live on forever."
You have passed the Saintess Trial, you are all my Saintesses of Light...
Namel gently congratulated everyone, her flawless papal majesty moving most of the nuns below to tears of gratitude. She then raised her sleeve, preparing to bestow her blessings upon the nuns.
"You are not Pope Narmeru! Who are you?"
Just as everyone was focused on Liu Lang and Verania, Vivis suddenly stood up and loudly questioned them!
