Inside Beauclair City.
Saint Peter III, Pope of the Radiance Church, was covered in sweat as he stared at the sea of blood surging through the shattered sky. This time, he had truly underestimated the situation.
Saint Peter III did know a great deal about the Elder Evils, but at this moment, he realized that all that knowledge was completely useless! Although those ancient texts said the Elder Evils were powerful, they also gave the impression that they could be fought against.
After all, according to the classifications in those texts, gods stood at the pinnacle of the universe, while the Elder Evils were weaker than gods. Since they were weaker than gods, Saint Peter III believed they should be able to resist them—or at least stop the Crimson Queen from descending upon the material plane.
But after truly clashing with it, Saint Peter III realized that was all bullshit! Only after fighting it did he discover that he was not even opposing the Crimson Queen herself. It was merely a wisp of the Crimson Queen's will!
And this wisp of will did not even possess much desire to attack. It had simply been drawn here by something. In other words, it was merely passing by... yet just this casual passing had already pushed Saint Peter III and the others to their limits!
Though things were already incredibly difficult, Saint Peter III still had to grit his teeth and hold on! Because he had realized that if they truly allowed the Crimson Queen's power to descend, it would not be Beauclair alone that suffered! Even the cities surrounding Beauclair would be devastated!
This power was simply too overwhelming!
All His Holiness the Pope could do now was hope that Sokya would find Digla as soon as possible, deal with him,
