Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 154 Too similar

[Level has been increased to level 58]

In the deep pit, having withstood two dragon breaths from Cecilia, Ron, who only had one chance to level up left, chose to lie down.

Because he sensed that the person who came by rocket was already nearby.

That chilling and terrifying aura was genuine ninth-order!

With only one chance left to level up, even with all his abilities, it would be difficult for him to escape from the Holy Maiden of Grace and an unknown ninth-tier expert.

So he chose to lie down.

Of course, he did not lose his will to live; he just lay down to see what was going on.

Cecilia said not long ago, "That person poses no danger to you; I should be the one worrying."

Based on his understanding of Cecilia's character, he knew she wouldn't joke about something so serious.

"Judging from her tone, this person should be someone I know."

“The people I know… heretical cultivators… people who can give the Holy Maiden of Grace a hard time… people who can obtain a spot to enter the Divine Kingdom…”

While dealing with Cecilia, Ron kept wondering who she really was.

In the third battle of the divine kingdoms, only the participants of the third battle of the divine kingdoms can obtain a place to enter the divine kingdom.

Or perhaps they are from one of the three major papal courts.

He knew the Kingdom of Diam and the Emerald Kingdom inside and out, and there were no SSR cards like that in them.

That means it can only be someone from one of the three major papal courts.

He doesn't know many people in the three major Vatican councils, so the answer can be easily found by elimination.

There is only one person who can make Saintess Grace feel troubled, and who is most likely to fall into depravity—the former Saintess of the Radiant Church, Kertia!
If it were Kertia, although the situation of meeting her wouldn't be ideal, she should be able to save her life.

Of course, this conclusion was reached under the premise that the gods did not arbitrarily change the rules, and he could not yet confirm whether the other party was Keltia.

He chose to take a gamble.

We have no choice but to take a gamble.

Fortunately, he made the right bet.

At that moment, listening to Kertia's cheerful voice, Ron did not resist at all, letting her slightly cool feet massage his face: "Whatever makes you happy."

A man can bend and stretch.

Take it easy and treat it as a reward.

After "massaging" for a while, Kertia seemed to have vented her dissatisfaction. She stopped, gently lifted her fair, snow-white legs, and moved her soft, smooth feet away from Ron's face.

She lowered her head, her black eyes with a hint of gold calmly gazing at the face of the person beneath her.

“Ron,” she called softly.

"Hmm," Ron responded softly.

Quiet--

“Ron Rheinth,” she called again after a moment.

“It’s me.” Ron slowly opened his eyes, his red pupils meeting Kertia’s gaze as she looked down at him.

Eyes facing each other.

Another moment of peace.

“Aren’t you dead?” Kertia asked.

"Is that so?" Ron asked, looking puzzled.

Seeing Ron's feigned ignorance, Keltia's anger flared up again. Just as she was about to give this shameless guy another "massage," a beam of destructive light shot straight down from the sky.

Boom——

The ground trembled violently, and the smoke and dust that had gradually dissipated from the crater once again filled the sky.

"Roar--"

The crimson dragon roared, proclaiming its continued existence.

"Humph!"

Keltia appeared above the crimson dragon, gave an unpleasant snort, and swung her Sword of Desire, unleashing a black light as she slashed at the noisy flying insect before her.

Not to be outdone, the crimson dragon unleashed a burst of dragon breath.

Bang!
Two terrifying energies, enough to destroy the entire town, collided in mid-air, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

Ultimately, the crimson dragon was slightly outmatched and was overturned by the remaining energy of the black light. By the time it regained its footing, Keltia had already appeared beside it, her sword of desire aimed at its neck, intending to decapitate it.

At the critical moment, several layers of protective shields appeared on the crimson dragon's body. The Sword of Desire broke through one layer, and another layer immediately grew.

At the same time, a huge phantom of a severed blade fell from the sky, forcing Kertia to retreat.

boom!
boom!
Eleven consecutive guillotines followed closely behind Kertia's figure.

"Roar--"

Dragon Flame and Dragon Breath followed closely, sealing off Kertia's activity space.

Ron, who was sandwiched between Kertia's waist and witnessing this battle of the gods up close, was filled with amazement.

Is it appropriate to put such a late-game battle in the early game?

By the time they parted ways in Orantia, Kertia's level had dropped to 65.

It's only been a little over a month since we last met...

【Name: Kertia】

[Race: Human Race]

【Age: 18】

[Level: LV.95]

[Affiliation: God of Desire (Fallen Angel)]

[Growth Talents: Physical (S), Strength (S), Spirit (SS), Speed ​​(S), Vitality (S)]

The change is like that of a completely different person.

Not only did their level increase by leaps and bounds, but their faction also changed.

The former saintess of the Radiant Church, a fallen angel and servant of the God of Desire, truly lived up to the saying "ten times stronger when corrupted."

It seems that Keltia entered the Sanctuary and thus fell into corruption.

Ron was curious about what had happened during this time. Why did Keltia go to the Sanctuary? Given her circumstances, why did the Holy See allow her to enter the Sanctuary?

boom!
bang——

The dragon's breath missed its target, and the flying dragon was kicked away again.

While Ron pondered, the battle between the two big shots continued.

While they appeared to be evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand, the reality was that the dragon had already used all its strength, while Keltia had not yet gotten serious.

[Name: Cecilia]

[Race: Dragonkin]

【Age: 19】

[Level: LV.89]

[Affiliation: Holy Grace Church (Saintess)]

[Growth Talents: Physical (S), Strength (S), Spirit (A), Speed ​​(A), Vitality (A)]

Cecilia's original body has switched over, but the Divine Record did not come with her original body.

Without the blessing of the Divine Record, even at her limit, she could only unleash combat power at the entry level of the ninth rank. She was not qualified to go up against Kertia, who was at level 95.

Perhaps because she had previously promised to only make one move, she put in extra effort this time to ensure she had a clear conscience.

But in the current situation, where there is a strong enemy and the mission may not be completed, is it necessary to just go through the motions and take it so seriously?

Ron is hard to judge.

No matter how hard Cecilia tries, she can't kill him in front of Kertia.

The gap in strength between the two is too large.

Cecilia was still able to fly around because Keltia was carrying him, which made it difficult for her to perform at her best.

Even so, she was suppressed by Kertia, and her defeat was only a matter of time.

With no time to worry about Cecilia, Ron began contemplating his own escape route. Keltia's fall from grace was both a good thing and a bad thing for him.

The good thing is that my life is temporarily safe, and I have a more convenient way to improve my strength.

The evil thing is that fallen angels, as servants of evil gods, are the best vessels to bear the will of evil gods.

If Keltia continues to develop in this way, she will eventually become a vessel for the arrival of an evil god.

At that time, the first people the evil god will kill are those close to him.

Ron felt he would become the primary target, after all, there must be a reason for the God of Light's arrangement.

Even though Keltia had fallen into the clutches of the evil god, the God of Light still sent her in. He couldn't think of any other purpose than to use her against him.

He wanted to survive this doomed situation, either by becoming a god or by stopping Kertia from growing any further.

Did you verbally persuade him not to continue practicing?
He doesn't have that level of authority yet.

He is at most one of Keltia's desires now. She can make small requests, but she will never grant him any requests that would shake the very foundation of her desires.

You might even lose favor points and get killed.

Since verbal persuasion is useless, the only option is to devise a plan to strip Kertia of the evil god's power.

A glint flashed in Ron's eyes, and the outline of a plan quickly took shape in his mind.

There are still two months left, that should be enough.

He wants to make something that won't happen in the world for years happen sooner than expected!

Puff!

A splatter of hot blood sprayed onto Ron's face as he was deep in thought.

He gathered his thoughts and looked up.

The massive body of the crimson dragon plummeted to the ground.

Bang!
The body was separated from its owner.

The four-minute battle ended with the dragon being exhausted and its head being severed.

Keltia watched the dragon's corpse turn to ashes bit by bit, her eyes indifferent. At this moment, she had no compassion for those who went against her will.

With the sword of desire withdrawn, Kertia turned to lead Ron back to Gem Bay.

"Wait a minute," Ron called out quickly.

Keltia stopped and looked at Ron at her waist with a puzzled expression.

“Lady Kertia, I cannot go with you now,” Ron said.

“That’s not up to you.” Keltia’s voice was firm. She had only one thought about Ron: to take him back and keep him under her 24-hour watch.

“What if I could help you quickly take over the Holy Unified Empire?” Ron said with a smile.

"What mischief are you up to now?" Kertia asked, her interest piqued.

“It’s been a long time since we last met, let’s go downstairs and sit down to chat,” Ron said, pointing to the remaining half of the town’s buildings.

"Hmph." Kertia snorted lightly: "Stop your wicked thoughts. This time you won't have a chance to escape from me."

Kertia gave a warning and was about to head to the undamaged houses on the edge of the battlefield when suddenly she felt an aura of the end lock onto her.

Ok?
call out--

As she looked down, a gray aurora suddenly streaked across her face without warning, piercing directly through a black wing behind her.

The speed was so fast that even she couldn't react in time.

This intense aura of impending doom... this must be the Calamity Witch.

Keltia glanced at the pierced wing, her eyes turning cold. Just as she was about to retaliate, her gaze faltered.

Ok?
How could it be her?
"Wait, Isabella, they're all on our side, don't do anything!" Ron shouted.

The several beams of aurora that had gathered below gradually dissipated after hearing Ron's voice.

Kertia flashed to the ground and stood face to face with Isabella.

Isabella first glanced at Ron, who was being held hostage by Kertia, and only after confirming that Ron was alright did her gaze fall on Kertia.

“Ron,” Kertia called out after looking him over for a moment.

"Put me down." Ron patted Kertia's arm.

Keltia released her grip: "Is she Glovi?"

The calamity witch before them looked exactly like Glovi, except for her hair color.

Ron put his feet back on the ground, straightened his disheveled clothes, and replied, "She is not Glovi, she is Princess Isabella of the Holy Unified Empire."

After introducing Keltia, he introduced Isabella, saying, "Isabella, her name is Keltia, she is my... friend."

Neither of them responded after hearing the introduction.

Kertia stared intently at Isabella.

picture!
It’s so similar!

Isabella, on the other hand, found this kind of gaze extremely offensive.

Another person who treats her like someone else.

“Isabella, Kertia and I need to talk to you about something. Would you like to come?” Ron broke the awkward silence between them.

Isabella turned her gaze to Ron, and after a moment, she replied calmly, "I'll be waiting for you here."

“Okay,” Ron nodded, “I’ll be back soon.”

After saying that, he pulled Kertia away.

"Why didn't you let her come along? Aren't you two on good terms?" Keltia let Ron lead her.

“I asked her, and she said she didn’t come on her own,” Ron said.

"The way you asked her shows you didn't even consider her coming," Kertia said, glancing at her.

Ron emphasized that he needed to talk to someone else when he asked the question, and Isabella would not agree unless she was someone who didn't know her place.

"You really want her to come?" Ron asked.

"I want to talk to her."

"What are you going to talk about? About Gloway?"

“Yes, I think it’s no coincidence that she looks so much like Gloria,” Kertia said frankly.

“It’s best not to,” Ron said. “She’s very resistant to being treated as another person right now. Talking to her about this kind of thing is just ineffective communication.”

“I have my own methods, I don’t need to communicate,” Kertia said emotionlessly.

“I need to confirm whether she’s connected to Glover; that will determine whether I kill her or not.” Her tone left no room for negotiation.

"For the sake of the gods?" Ron asked.

“That’s not all,” Keltia said. “Originally, I wanted to use her body to revive you, and then you would serve as my vessel to help me advance to the Twelve Wings.”

"Resurrect me as a vessel..." Ron's eye twitched.

Could you please not say such cold things to my face?

As Keltia's vessel, he wouldn't necessarily die, but his soul would have to merge and merge between the two bodies, ultimately becoming a single soul, with Keltia as the master and him as the slave.

For him, it was worse than death.

“Now that you’re alive, I can erase her will and use her body as a vessel to advance to the Twelve Wings.” Kertia’s eyes were filled with a desire for power.

“Actually, you don’t need to be so fixated on her. Isn’t there another vessel in this world?” Ron said.

"You mean the [Hero] of the Holy Unified Empire?"

"Correct."

“I can’t beat him right now,” Kertia said bluntly.

If she can win, she naturally wants to use a better vehicle.

"I have a way to help you obtain the vessel for the [Hero]."

Ron stopped in front of a relatively intact house, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Keltia stared blankly at that confident smile she hadn't seen in so long.

Instead of that, why don't you tell me why you left without saying goodbye?

She became the way she is today entirely because of Ron's abrupt departure from Orantia.
