Watching the colossal entity before him, Anvis raised a finger. A faint, pale-white holy radiance appeared at the tip of his finger.
It was an incomparably pure divine power, drawn from the true power of Archbishop Yanile, who had now broken through to the Ninth Rank. Though negligible in quantity, within this basement filled with Desire Power, it stood out like a star lit in the night.
Faced with this trace of Holy Power of an extremely high essence, the massive aggregate of flesh and eyeballs reacted. Strands of tangible dark gazes converged upon it.
