The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

The Pope concentrated most of his power on Dekan and Sheen, while Sheen tried his best to use healing magic.

As for the other two eighth-ranked individuals, the Pope felt it didn't matter whether he killed them or not.

The Pope's purpose is clear.

He planned to kill Sheen and Dekan, seize the energy of the capital city of Philowen, and then use a space portal to leave before reinforcements from other kingdoms arrived!

It can also be observed that after the Pope's forced use, the space portal in the sky has developed some cracks, and it is probably already overloaded.

Continuing to use it will inevitably cause some damage.

But since the Church of Resurrection has the power to create it, it will surely be able to restore and use it again in the future.

Without Sheen's intelligence gathering, the Church of Resurrection will once again use this space portal to completely crush the Kingdom Federation!

To some extent.

If Dekan and his team lose today.

The Kingdom Federation is finished.

No one spoke, and the four of them could not move an inch.

Apart from the Imperial Sword Saint and the Paladin Commander, who could barely protect themselves, Sheen shielded Dekan behind her. From the beginning, she had given Dekan a protective spell, with silver chains formed like stars connecting her and Dekan.

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 9]

[Effect: When applied to a target, it shares perception and health; the effect ends after a certain distance. Additionally, the target with the higher attribute will have 10% of their attribute transferred to the target with the lower attribute.]

[Note: You're so weak, why should I even be able to defeat you?]

As long as this spell is maintained, neither she nor Dekan will die.

Furthermore, after receiving a 10% bonus to each of the four attributes from the ninth-tier Sheen, Dekan was no longer so fragile.

Even after the connection was established, the Pope not only hesitated to take action against Dekan, but also hesitated to act rashly against Sheen.

The pain inflicted on Sheen will also be transmitted to Dekan, giving Dekan the opportunity to feel the pain.

Originally, Shin used to use this card to link opponents, not only to exchange health to save his life and limit the Pope's attacks, but also to steal the Pope's excess attributes. However, in the current situation, Shin needs to protect Dekan first, even if Shin himself will lose attributes.

Because the pain feedback from Decan is something the Pope cannot address.

The unique powers of the vampires and the magical creativity of the demons can both be called miracles of this world.

These miracles, however, are precisely what threaten the almost invincible Pope.

If they can use Dekan's pain feedback to make the Pope faint from pain for a moment, Sheen can then use his prepared backup plan.

But with the Pope appearing completely flawless, she couldn't begin her plan—

They put the Pope in her home turf to fight.

If she were to attempt this rashly, given the extent of the Pope's control, she might not even be able to successfully imprison him before he forcibly breaks free halfway through.

All you need to do is control and disrupt the Pope for even a short while.

She can then ensure a flawless takeover of control.

Dekan naturally knew what Sheen wanted to do.

However, the Pope was wary of Decan from the very beginning.

They didn't give Dekan a chance to stage an accident.

The Pope's spiritual and magical attributes are beyond the reach of humankind.

Due to the extremely high mana cap brought by high spirit and resistance to abnormal statuses, almost no control effects can have any impact on the Pope.

Even though the Pope had already expended a lot of mana due to the spatial portal, he still couldn't possibly outlast this mana monster.

With the attack reduced by 90%, it was impossible to even break through the Pope's shield, let alone harm him.

The Pope opted for a tactic of completely suppressing them. Once a non-traitorous bishop arrives to provide support, the four of them will be easily killed by the bishop!

Unless one can proactively grant the Pope an unusually strong degree of control!

The Pope stood not far from the four people, and even the air was filled with that indescribable power.

Not only Dekan, but even Sheen's expression grew increasingly grim.

Because they began to hear the sounds of war coming from a distant direction.

It seems that some bishops are already not far from the arena.

“Bishop Pain, you really surprised me. Perhaps I should have come to find you sooner.”

The Pope's stern face seemed to be smiling, yet it also carried an aura of majesty that commanded respect.

Although the Pope did not know if Dekan and Sheen had any other ways to break the deadlock.

But he seemed a little worried.

If several bishops appear together, the Pope has no concern that any internal traitors will dare to stir up trouble.

But what arrives next is a single bishop, who happens to be the mole he's been looking for.

A seemingly insurmountable situation can be reversed in an instant.

The Pope has no need to take risks when he has such a strong advantage.

He did indeed come up with an interesting idea to end everything before the bishop arrived...

That is to break down the trust between Dekan and Sheen!

“I told you I am not the Bishop of Pain.”

Dekan said with a cold laugh.

The Pope's attempts to sow discord are utterly ridiculous.

"Oh?"

The Pope has simply taken up his authority.

I don't know what I did, but in the next instant, the seal began to shine brightly!

It was as if the episcopal certificate resonated with it.

A faint, transparent mark appeared on Dekan's body.

This belongs to Dekan, the mark of the Painful Bishop.

Just as Dekan was feeling uneasy.

The [Proof of the Painful Bishop] hidden within Dekan's soul also began to shimmer, gradually revealing itself uncontrollably!

Dekan suddenly looked at Sheen.

A hint of surprise and doubt flashed across Sheen's eyes.

"How does it feel, you fools, to be completely fooled by the Painful Bishop?"

The Pope's voice echoed in the arena, as if he were not only speaking to the four people in front of him, but also announcing Dekan's true identity to all the people of the kingdom!

The Imperial Sword Saint looked directly at Dekan with a wary gaze, radiating intense hostility towards him.

The Paladin Commander looked on in disbelief and was momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with Dekan.

The Pope was pleased with their response.

The expressions of the people of the Kingdom watching the live stream must be quite interesting.

But what the Pope really cared about was Sheen's attitude.

If we can make Sheen waver at this moment, everything will be over.

……

"How is that possible? Is Dekan really the Bishop of Pain?"

"Could this be an illusion cast by the Pope?"

“Dekan’s body… seems to have a seal that corresponds to it? Is that a genuine bishop’s badge?!”

"I'm actually living in the same academy as a bishop every day?!"

The viewing hall at Hervenlitt Academy was now in complete chaos.

no matter who.

They all just treated Dekan's painful bishop title as a joke.

How could a student be a legitimate bishop of the Resurrected Church?!

But at this moment.

The Pope's personal confirmation seems to have confirmed the authenticity of all of this!

Dekan was the last bishop of the Church of Resurrection, a genuine bishop of torment!

"No...it's impossible..."

Theresa covered her face, her expression filled with terror.

The seemingly harmless boy she brought back to the capital from a border town a year ago is actually a cardinal of the Church of Resurrection, a catastrophe comparable to natural disaster.

Theresa shook her head violently.

Although she always felt that the more she understood Dekan, the less she could see through him.

Every moment spent with Dekan gradually convinced him that Dekan's way of doing things was like that of a demon.

But she absolutely refused to believe that Dekan was the Bishop of Pain!

He is a person with clear principles, and who stands firmly against evil!

"Lord Sheen...you must trust Dekan..."

Theresa could only grit her teeth and pray for her friend.

In a corner of the viewing hall, a dejected student stared blankly at the broadcast screen, as if he had lost his soul.
