Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The Dragon’s Calamity? That has a nice ring to it. The Pentashades are indeed plotting against the humans to start a war aid at the humans only.”
Upon nodding his head, when Igor spoke about that, he turned his head around and looked towards the South. His eyes were radiating with golden light. He remained silent for a brief mont before he continued to speak slowly, “A few days after, I will be explaining the matter to Emperor Israel of the Empire. Although the Empire Kingdom has already co up with defensive asures, however, this is not just an occurrence that will only affect one kingdom. Instead, this is a calamity that involves the entire continent. He can’t just sit safely on his throne alone and he needs to do sothing about it. We will suppress and annihilate the lair of the Pentashade Dragons in the distant South as quickly as we can before the all-out war with the Pentashade Dragons could even break out.”
Hence, listening up to this point, Joshua had already understood quite a number of things now. Regardless of the information in the secret letter given by the old butler which he could not understand, or the fact that the Dragon’s Calamity in the previous life was stopped before the calamity got completely out of hand, he now knew the reasons behind all that. Many things that he could not connect together had now ford into a logical chain of information for him.
In the previous life, he had not reached this level nor stepped into the real core circle of the world. Hence, he had no way to know all these information. anwhile, things were completely different in this life now. The epic historical quests of each of the four main servers in the previous life were believed to be standalone. However, from the looks of it now, deep down inside, these quests must be linked to each another.
The old pope said so much and he seed to be imrsed in his own thoughts as well. His body which was composed of condensed holy light in the beginning, after such a long ti, he began to gradually drift away into white particles of light. anwhile, Igor had also noticed that as he revealed a gentle smile on his face. Then he spoke to the warrior with the voice of an old man, “So, Joshua, do you have any other questions? As you can see, my temporary projection is running out of ti soon.”
Originally, he was rely tagging along with the emblem of the Church of the Seven Gods, coming all the way across the entire continent, appearing through the condensation of the holy light just to et Joshua. It had proven that Igor had already reached god-tier in the arts of controlling energy as he could actually maintain his appearance across the entire continent for such a long ti.
anwhile, Joshua would naturally have many more questions to ask, But since the ti was running out, he could only pick crucial questions to ask.
So he inford Igor of the lake ford by the palm print under the Nissia Snowy Mountain.
“The ancient battlefield of the lost age… So it seems that there’s also one in the North. However, there’s no wonder about it. It is actually normal.”
After remaining silent for a brief mont, the old pope understood sothing and he laughed. Then he earnestly said, “Joshua, you should have noticed it already. The North’s dinsional barriers are extrely weak. That place can easily get invaded by creatures from the other world.”
“Indeed.” The warrior nodded. Of course he would naturally know that. But then Joshua also ca to understand the aning of Igor’s words all of the sudden as he spoke, “I see… That’s the battlefield with the Evil God!”
This was similar to his assumption, but since that Igor had nodded his head, then his assumption could be determined as true already.
“That’s right.”
With a nod to express he agreed with what he heard, more and more light particles were floating and flying all around Igor’s radiating body. These light particles had already ford into stars swirling all around him, making him looked like he was in the middle of a nebula now. His face has begun to blur out, but even so, he could still answer Joshua with a clear voice, “That place… long even before ancient tis, was where the Sage and his disciples, the Saints fought Chaos. The palm print you ntioned earlier may have been a mark made by one of the Saints himself… That could mark the true aning of ‘sacred’ onto that land.”
Upon saying that, he could not help but feel a little regret. “The strength of the Sage was far beyond my imagination. Even after I have attained the pinnacle of the Legendary-Tier power level, and my soul’s personality is close to the boundless heavens where the gods are, but when I was holding this pure white scepter, I could not help but feel his mighty strength… That radiance originated from the Initial Fla, even I had difficulties in exploring it. Well, the Sage had even forged that power into the legacy items and passed them down to us.”
When he ntioned about that, the old pope could not help but tighten his grip on the scepter. anwhile, Joshua was also holding the Azurite in his hand.
Everything the pope said was true. The power of [Tinder] and [King of the Searing Soul] had really surpassed the previous concept that he knew of. This orb that he regarded as a family heirloom in the beginning, actually had so many hidden secrets. The warrior could not help but feel the need to understand it fully.
anwhile, Sage… It was truly exciting to know that a human could beco that strong and powerful.
Feeling slightly emotional, Igor had also noticed that his projection was about to run out of ti now. He turned his head around to look at the holy knight who passed out. His golden eyes were filled with compassion as he spoke, “This holy knight that battled with you is Roland. He is my successor in the future… He wants to know sothing about the secret truths about the sealed lands. However, because of my vows, I am restrained from telling him anything. Well… he knows nothing about the Evil Gods at all.”
Speaking of that, he turned his head around again to look at Joshua. Then he shook his head, seemingly that he felt a little regret. “I am worried that he might walk the path of vengeance and doubts because of the deaths of his comrades and friends… So can I ask a favor of you as an old man? Joshua, I hope you can tell him so of the truths about Chaos. That should clear his doubts about his enemies. That should give him so insight into what he is currently dealing with—Speaking of which, you did not have to sacrifice much to win. That’s truly impressive.”
“What kind of favor is this…please.”
Joshua did not agree to the old pope’s words though. He shook his head and said, “His strength is extrely powerful. If we’re really going to battle and resist the Chaos, I’ll be the one that asks him to join without a single doubt. So why wouldn’t I tell him the truth then? It’s just vows…”
The old butler used to vow that he could not tell Joshua about any information related to the Evil Gods. Sa goes for his father. Not only that, he affird that all guardian families and those who learned about the existence of the Evil Gods would be forced to vow never to spread it—However, when he crossed over to this life, he did not seem to be restrained by such vows.
However, Joshua was not mad enough to spread news and information about the Evil Gods. So that thought just flashed across his mind and vanished.
“There are four Sage’s Legacy items. The [Bright Scepter], [Azurite], [Dual Blades of Order], and also [Robe of Wisdom]. Three of them were located on the Mycroft Continent. They are all possessed by human beings now. anwhile, the [Robe of Wisdom] has been long lost in the outer world. There is no telling when they will be able to gather all four items together.”
On the side, the old pope felt a little regrettable as he walked up to the side of the unconscious Roland. He approached the tip of the white scepter in his hands over to Roland and gave a gentle touch on the young holy knight. Instantly, a dense holy radiance instant spread across the young man’s entire body. In just a brief while, along with a groan, Roland, who Joshua estimated would only be able to open his eyes, instantly woke up.
“… Fa… Father?”
The first person he saw was EIgor, who had his body radiating with intense light of Order that made him look like a god descending from heaven. This holy knight imdiately stood up on his feet. Then he muttered to himself, “Am I dead now? But why is Father here as well…”
“I will not die yet even if you’re dead. Furthermore, even you really died, I can still save you and bring you back to life.”
Upon shaking his head, Igor sighed and he reached out his radiating hand as if he wanted to pat the holy knight on his head. However, his palm had already begun disintegrating into light particles. Because of that, the old pope could only send the ‘Bright Scepter’ back to the Church of the Seven Gods. Along doing that, he seriously inford the young holy knight, “Roland, the reason for your failure in this battle is still because you’re not experienced enough in such regard. Your experience in battling a human is too little. Your knowledge and understandings towards tactics are still too simple and most of all, you’re still too naive. You must learn better in the days to co, do you understand?”
“Y-yes, Father!”
Roland, who had grown accustod to his adoptive father criticizing him, lowered his head in sha. However, his heart was still pondering on so thoughts as he was cursing—Joshua was obviously much younger than he was, so why has he so experienced in battle? Even in the Dark Tide in the North, the opponents that Joshua had been facing were rely a bunch of daemons. He should have the sa experience as the holy knight. There should not be any difference between them.
“I have already asked Joshua. If he is willing to, he shall tell you more, and the things that you want to know.”
The foot of Igor’s light projection had completely vanished. There were only a blurry body torso and a head remaining in the air. However, his old voice still had not been influenced at all. His voice still clearly projected out from his mouth though, “I’ve not much ti left now. It’s ti for to go back with this avatar now… Joshua, rember, the Azurite in your possession carries one of the Sage’s world shifting power. You must keep it safe. This might be hope.”
Before waiting for Joshua to reply, he already shook his head. It seed like the old pope still had a lot of words to say. He sounded regretful. Roland seed to be unable to react to the fact that his adoptive father suddenly appeared and vanished after a brief mont—after all, he was still having a concussion at the mont. It was the holy light that woke him up for the mont—hence, he did not manage to say anything in ti.
“Truth be told, there are still many things we have yet to discuss.”
Just a few seconds before the projection of Igor disappeared, the old pope nodded at Joshua and said with a smile on his face, “Joshua van Radcliffe, by the na of the pope of the Church of the Seven Gods, I invite you over to the Sacred Mountain of the Distant Sea to be our guest.”
“The next ti when you co to the Sacred Mountain, I will tell you everything.”
Having said that, the remaining light of this projection had simply disappeared neatly, and the presence of the Legendary power contained inside the light vanished along with it. It seed to have returned to the distant place along with the disappearing light.
“…”
Roland’s helt was smashed into pieces by Joshua. Hence, his appearance could be seen now. However, now that his white-blonde hair was ssy, and there were blood stains and sweat sticking on his face, he looked quite pathetic in a sense. anwhile, his blue eyes were still looking sloppy and out of focus. The young holy knight looked as if he was struggling to regain his consciousness.
Joshua was also thinking about the information he obtained from the conversation he had with the church. He descended deep in thought and he seed to have no ti to entertain the holy knight that was right in front of him.
However, in just a few seconds later, the warrior noticed that a familiar presence was approaching him.
Archbishop Artanis of Moldavia appeared right above the pit. He then looked at the light particles that were not yet completely dispersed away with a shocked gaze.
He felt a strong presence of holy light from afar and faintly saw the projection of the old pope from the Church of the Seven Gods. Just as he was filled with doubts and hurried over to the spot at full speed, the old pope had stopped his projection and returned.
And when he saw the dusty face of the number one holy knight, he looked even shocked.
Isn’t that young man the strongest holy knight that he said would co to the North?!
From the looks of it, it seed that the holy knight got the crap beaten out of him… So, did Joshua beat the holy knight so badly that the pope had to step out of the shadows to save the poor young holy knight?!
Although he perceived it wrongly, however, from a certain perspective, the true situation was not much different from what he perceived the situation to be.
While inhaling deeply, Artanis’s eyes widened and his expression changed slightly. He stared at Joshua who looked unscratched as if he did not even lose anything in order to win the battle. Instantly, he felt that this younger friend of his was not normal at all.
