Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the bespectacled man hiding behind makeshift fortifications was shouting into a walkie-talkie, "Throw a few more flashbangs! Leave some of the automated attack robots behind and retreat through the path we just cleared. Our Security Alliance's goal is to notify the FBI. We can't win a direct confrontation with them."

Several flashbangs were thrown into the air, and a group of people wearing protective sunglasses quickly retreated.

But before they had taken more than a few steps, a young man in plain clothes rushed up to the bespectacled man. "Boss Jato, we've been blocked from behind! It's the mercenary group! We've been surrounded!"

"How could this be? Where are the brothers who were guarding the back? How could they have been surrounded all of us so suddenly? Where's the skinny guy who was guarding the back? What's he doing?"

Jato looked shocked.

"The skinny boss's men, and..."

The young man stammered, "Standing with those mercenaries."

"Fuck it,"

Jato's face hardened, and he spat, "Bastard! You betrayed us!"

He raised his pistol, fired a shot into the sky, and turned to look at the men behind him. "Brothers, let's break through to the north!"

Not far from them, amidst the chaotic flames, Lutz, the mercenary leader with a cigar in his mouth and a smile on his face, stepped onto the last step of the gangway.

"Via, it's been a long time."

The figure facing the door in the room slowly rose, instantly crushing the pendant in his hand. A golden greatsword floated out in front of him. He smiled at the burly man at the door and reached out to grasp the hilt of the greatsword.

"Lelen?"

The burly man at the door stared at the figure inside the room. Behind him, the sounds of fighting rose and fell. He raised the golden spear in his hand. "You're the new 'Bishop'? No, not you. Where's your 'new Bishop'?"

Then he immediately realized what had happened, held his spear horizontally in front of him, and laughed, "Looks like I've fallen for their trap. There's no injured new bishop here at all."

"How do you know I can't become the new bishop? But I'll need to borrow something to have that opportunity,"

Leron ran his hand along the blade of the golden greatsword. "We've known each other for so many years, so I'll borrow your life for you."

His figure vanished instantly, and he gripped the golden greatsword with both hands, slashing at Via at the doorway.

That depends on you.

Do you have that ability?

Via twirled his staff with one hand, then suddenly raised his spear to block Leron's greatsword.

boom--

The floor beneath their feet shattered from the impact, and the two figures plummeted downwards.

Cloud District Mayor's Office

“I’ve been here many times. Their defenses don’t seem very strong. Uncle Endil is in the innermost room. I’ll see if I can just break in.”

Inside the gleaming cockpit, Veri gripped the control stick. "The East Gate is just past the Mayor's Mansion. Once we rescue Uncle Endil, we can go directly to the East Gate and contact the city defense forces."

Under the somber night sky, the pure white mecha sped towards the depths of the mayor's mansion.

"Don't rush too far ahead."

The hoarse admonition echoed in the girl's ears.

Anti-aircraft guns fired continuously along the way; some were withstood by the mechs, while others were detonated by the anti-aircraft machine guns on the mechs.

In the blink of an eye, she had completely entered the mayor's mansion, and there was only one building between her and the innermost room.

"Watch out, pull the lever back!"

Just then, a hoarse, low warning sound came through her earphones.

Inside the mech's cockpit, Veri saw the scene before her.

The mech's automatic locking system quickly magnified an image outside the mech onto the screen.

On the building in front of the pure white mecha, on the last barrier of the mayor's mansion, a man dressed in a white robe with gold thread stood at the very top of the classical sloping roof.

He looked up at the camera that was locking onto him and smiled.

The gold-embroidered white robe—it's a bishop!

A thought flashed through the girl's mind.

Why is the bishop of the Eternal Secret Church here? Isn't he in the main church?

Her body trembled involuntarily.

She knew very well the strength of this 'bishop'; he was an Eternal Light believer capable of displaying B-level strength, even if he was injured, he was still a B-level.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in that instant. She suppressed her fear and, following the instructions from the voice in her ear, pulled the control lever back sharply.

The thrusters of the massive, pure white mecha rapidly reversed direction, bringing the mecha to a stop in mid-air before it quickly flew backward.

Meanwhile, the cockpit of another mech behind this one had already opened.

The priest in the golden robes standing on the rooftop watched this scene with a smile on his face, but his hands never stopped moving. He raised his right hand high, and the brilliant golden light gathered in his hand into a sharp spear.

Then he threw the spear without hesitation.

The sharp spears flashed across the sky like golden lightning in the night.

Under this flowing light, the pure white mecha appeared to move so slowly.

As Vera sat in the driver's seat, she watched the golden light rushing towards her and gradually filling her vision, her pupils slowly contracting.

She didn't have time to make any move, and the other party didn't give her any chance to make any move either.

Am I going to die?

She should be trying to recall something, but her mind was blank.

When death came, she had no time to process any emotions other than fear and regret.

Tear—

The sound of sheet metal being torn apart rang out behind the girl.

······

The golden spear pierced through the entire pure white mech without stopping, and also punctured the high-energy battery inside the mech.

Blazing flames burst forth in the dark sky.

The priest in the golden silk and white robe watched this scene, a slightly mocking smile playing on his lips.

Even the light of a grain of rice dares to rival the brilliance of the moon.

He glanced at the mech behind him, whose cockpit had already opened, and raised his hand, a new spear gathering in his palm.

It's too late to run now.

At that very moment, his vision momentarily faltered.

Amidst the raging flames, a dark figure suddenly burst through the fire, rushing towards him like lightning streaking across the night.

Before he could dodge, the dark figure struck him instantly, sending him flying through several walls with a loud crash before he slammed into the concrete ground.

Lying amidst the scattered cement and dust, the man in the white robe with gold thread struggled to lift his head and look up.

At the very top of the sloping roof that cascaded down to both sides, a boy draped in a black robe stood quietly beneath the sky, his gaze calm and cold as he watched him.

The blonde girl nestled in the boy's arms, being held in his princess carry.

The still-burning flames filled the sky behind the boy, and the huge, pure white mech with its cockpit open pierced through the flames, revealing its form behind him.

A gentle breeze ruffled the boy's robes and hair, stirring the snowflakes dancing in the sky.

"Stop pressing, it's a pectoral muscle."

The young boy lowered his head and glanced at Veri, who was huddled in his arms.

The blonde girl was clearly still recovering from her earlier panic. She instinctively reached out and grabbed the boy's shirt at the chest, pressing it in slightly.

The moment the boy spoke, the slender, white hand recoiled as if electrocuted, followed by the girl's stammering voice, "I...I...I..."

Her shoes weren't tied tightly; they had come off during the intense movement, and her two snow-white feet were slightly tense, forming an arch.

Just then, a golden light suddenly shot towards them from afar.

He put one arm around Vili's shoulder, and with the other hand, he quickly ran his hand along Vili's calf. Just as he left Vili's heel, he suddenly raised his hand and caught the golden light that was piercing him.

The slender, golden spear stood out against the night sky, its sharp tip almost touching the boy's face.

Below the boy, on the ground, a new golden spear was gathered in the hands of a priest in a white robe with gold thread.

"Maintain your balance."

Heo gripped the spear and nodded slightly to Vili, who had her feet firmly planted on the roof and had regained her balance.

Then he released his grip on Veri, leaped into the air, and transformed into a black streak of light, disappearing into the night.

Veri swayed slightly, but quickly regained her balance. By the time she was fully steady, the boy was already standing on the ground, in front of the priest in the golden silk white robe.

“Ilo,”

A new golden spear had already formed in the hands of the priest in his white robes and gold silk. He stared at Heo, "It seems you somehow 'deceived' the High Priest."

He raised the golden spear and held it horizontally in front of his chest. "But after so many fierce battles, whether it was the former bishop or Bright, your injuries must be quite severe now. It won't be easy for you to defeat me. Once the high priest reacts and comes back to support you, your death will be imminent."

He Ao looked at the priest's confident face and tilted his head slightly.

"An ignorant and arrogant fellow,"

Seeing He Ao's actions, the priest in the golden silk robe sneered. The surging golden light gathered on the golden spear in his hand, continuously solidifying.

"Don't think that you can defeat all the believers of the Eternal Light by dealing with one or two people. The gift of the Eternal Light is beyond your comprehension."

Golden pendants emerged from beneath his robes, gathering in the air to form a 'barrier' almost entirely made of pendants.

The quantity of these pendants far exceeds that used by another 'deacon', Lockway, who was previously killed by Heo.
