However... Verania was somewhat worried about how Vivis would view her if she revealed her true form...
No... it's better not to reveal her true form yet. In human form, she can still connect with the Pope's soul, it just takes a little longer. But she believes that Xiao Dai can protect herself, right?
On the other side.
Liu Lang sent out weapon clones in batches. Although none of them were weapons of +36 or higher, their sheer number made the Lionheart Knights hesitant to gamble on the Saintess's safety.
This gave Vivian hope of winning!
"This is our chance! Everyone, follow me and we'll take them down one by one!"
Vivian wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away, so she immediately sent her Lionheart Knights directly into the enemy's trap!
Under normal circumstances, as many people as enter a pocket formation, they will die. That's for sure, since they are outnumbered and outmatched in strength.
But things are different now. Because of Liu Lang's actions, more than half of the Lionheart Knights were forced to retreat! This turned the pocket formation in front of them into a leaky pocket.
With Vivian's decisive action, she managed to cut off thirty of the enemy's Lionheart Knights!
The balance of power is off! Should we rescue the other Lionheart Knights, or continue to protect these Smiling Saintesses?
The answer is... continue to protect!
Looking at this scene, Liu Lang sighed, realizing how inflexible they were. Since that was the case, the victory here was already decided, and the battle could finally come to an end.
If they voluntarily abandoned these Lionheart Knights, then they would voluntarily abandon even more. Liu Lang successfully delayed half of the Lionheart Knights at the cost of losing over a thousand weapons, while Vivian and her group launched a final all-out attack, ultimately successfully encircling and annihilating the last remaining Lionheart Knights!
"What about them?"
"We can't kill them. They're being controlled. We've defeated them, so maybe they'll regain their senses soon?"
"Their smiles are so creepy. Although they all have normal faces, they have no self-awareness... I don't want to be like that."
"But we're also terrifying, with empty eyes and pale skin, not like ourselves at all."
Vivius looked at the smiling saintesses and immediately ordered everyone to tie them up to prevent any accidents.
He then ordered everyone to turn back and help Verania and the others.
Liu Lang arrived here even earlier.
After losing Verania's command, the demon squad here was almost entirely wiped out.
The fact that we've been able to hold on until now is entirely due to Xiao Dai's nine-star defense!
Ha! After such a long battle, Xiao Dai's unlimited defense has finally grown to nine stars. If the Pope really makes a move, Xiao Dai will be able to put up a fight.
Well, it only has the power to resist for a short time.
"This is impossible! How did you defeat the saintesses?"
The robes of the Holy Pope before them had long been corroded into a dark purple, and his body had undergone various changes. His once holy aura had become chaotic and distorted. Moreover, after witnessing the arrival of Vivis and the others, he completely unleashed the power of the void!
A fierce wind howled past!
Everyone raised their arms to withstand the fierce wind and stood still. Liu Lang couldn't believe that the Holy Pope in front of him could control everyone and prevent them from moving simply by showing his power.
If a fight breaks out, what chance do they have of winning?
"It's a succubus?"
"Huh? What are you saying, Archmage?"
After Liu Lang finished speaking, he saw Vera. Oh right, their shared vision was still on, so the Archmage was referring to Vera.
"Awakening Nameru through her soul? That's certainly a good option."
The Archmage approved of Verania's actions, but to his surprise, Verania also possessed the mark of the Holy Maiden of Light, which allowed her to enter Pope Nameru's spiritual world through the mark.
And the power emanating from that young Dai... was actually from the same source as the power of the Saintess of Light!
Is there some kind of strange power within him?
The Grand Mage quickly noticed the source of light on Xiao Dai's body. Ha!
This is not the source of light, but the heart of light of the Holy Maiden of Light!
The prime minister once told him that the Heart of Light was a gift from the current pope, Namerlu, to him in his early years, saying that it was to commemorate the sacrifice of the Lionheart Knights and that he was willing to help him retrace the holy path of light.
The prime minister at the time had just been expelled from the Holy Church, so he had time to teach Nameru.
I never expected that the Prime Minister would bestow the Heart of Light upon the man before me, Deshan Ren.
Now they've all met their true master—Holy Pope Nameru!
"Everything is a gift from fate..."
