An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"It's the Holy Spear! Is Darion still alive after all?!"

Ross looked up, trying to confirm the enemy's location. However, before he could do so, the beam of light that seemed to be from the Holy Lance disappeared, and a still childish voice came from above.

"Activate the second holy sword—[Sky Flash]!"

A crescent-shaped slash of light flew down from above, its size and density far surpassing those of an ordinary Temple Knight.

"Father!"

"Ugh, Sharon!"

Judging from Sharon's anxious reaction, it can be confirmed that "Sheng Jue" will definitely not be able to withstand this blow.

In a hurry, Ross picked up Sharon, dragged his tired and sore body to activate physical strength, and jumped away in one breath.

The fragments of "Holy Slayer" flew up, accompanied by a loud sound like glass shattering.

"Tian Xiang Shan" hit the ground, causing a violent impact, causing the group to fly around like fallen leaves.

Ryan Hyde was sprayed to the other side, Cui was in the shallows upstream, and Rolls, holding Sharon, fell into the river which was almost knee-deep.

The three of them managed to keep their posture steady and continued to be on guard.

Then, their eyes finally caught sight of their attacker.

The attackers landed on the ground with a soft clattering sound.

The six attackers were divided into groups of two and landed in positions where they could double-team Rouse, Ryanhead, and Cui.

Then they took off their white robes.

Even Ross had no impression of these knights. The one wielding the Holy Bow was not Mulu, the original leader of the Beast Light Knights, and the one wielding the Holy Lance was not Darion, the leader of the Guardian Light Knights.

Since they are pursuers sent to attack Ross, they should be the most powerful veterans in the organization. Logically, Ross should recognize them.

Yet, these people before him were all unknown knights. Even more incredible, they all wore the same armor, strikingly similar to the Church's secret treasure—the "Holy Armor," one of the Seven Sacred Armors. Equally unbelievable were the weapons they wielded; they all bore familiar shapes.

“This… is impossible…”

Ryanhead managed a sound, something like a groan.

This is no wonder, as the swords in the hands of the male and female knights who were flanking him were extremely similar to the holy sword in his hand.

Furthermore, the two flanking Cui wielded the Holy Lance and Holy Bow, respectively, while one of the two flanking Rouse wielded the Holy Lance and Holy Shield, while the other carried the long-destroyed Holy Mallet.

The church's secret treasures are gathered together, not only that, some of them are the same, but there are more than one.

Rather than being spectacular, it's just confusing.

But there was another matter that concerned Laws even more.

The last two souls jumped off the back of the flying dragon hovering in the sky.

It was the same light he had seen on the train a while ago, and he had been trying to convince himself that he had only seen it wrongly.

The two spirits landed on the large rock directly in front of him.

Both were of rather short stature, but one was slightly taller.

Even so, he was still much shorter than the other members of the expeditionary force, only reaching their chests at most.

The two men were on the big rock, looking down at Royce.

"Ross Byrne, the shame of your clan. We finally caught you!"

"Please prepare to die. The shame you have brought upon us must be repaid with death and pain."

The two men spoke disdainfully, their tone so cold it was unbearable. Then, they took off their hoods.

“Eh? Uh…how could this be…”

A trembling cry of surprise came from my chest.

However, Rolls couldn't turn his gaze downward to care about Sharon's condition.

"Ahh..." He couldn't help but sigh towards the sky.

The four flying dragons ridden by the expeditionary force circled overhead, and between their silhouettes, a frighteningly bright crescent moon loomed.

Like the mocking mouth of God.

"Ahhh~ The branch chief actually predicted it right."

“The Church would actually… go this far…”

The voices of Cui and Ryan Hyde sounded particularly distant to Ross's ears.

Ross quietly lowered his eyes and faced the reality before him.

Reality is so cruel and ruthless, even to the point of being ridiculous.

"...Kaimu, Shem."

The ones who came to hunt him down were actually his two sons. This was reality.

Ross once again confirmed the two souls, and they were undoubtedly his two sons. However, their radiance was more than ten times stronger than he remembered.

What concerned him more were other more obvious changes.

"What happened to your hair?"

Kaim and Shem's original hair color was inherited from their mother, blonde, unlike Sharon's.

However, although the hairstyle is the same, a middle part and a mushroom head, the color is so white as if it has been bleached.

"It seems he's grown quite a bit taller too."

Although they were still the height of children, both of them had grown about ten centimeters taller than the day they left Shendu.

Ross's voice trembled slightly as he questioned him. As a father, he was worried about his two sons, and at the same time, he was praying that they were actually fakes.

Regardless, it wasn't the right thing to say in this situation.

To the two sons, this was like the first words their father said to them after returning home from a long business trip. As expected, their reactions were:

"You bastard, you won't even say a word of repentance!?"

"It's already this late, and the first thing you say is something like that. You're truly hopeless!"

Kaim and Shem were extremely excited. Their expressions were extremely distorted. Royce had never seen them like that before, and he was even afraid. They were expressions filled with humiliation and hatred.

"Kaimu-nii! Shem-nii! Did that miko do something to you!?"

Sharon cried out. The power of the miko was terrifying. Just looking into those terrifying eyes made my head churn. Sharon knew this, and out of concern for his brothers, he asked. But—

If the two brothers' feelings towards their father were "anger", then their feelings towards their youngest brother were "mockery".

The two of them looked dazed, as if they were recalling something, and answered simultaneously:

"Don't forget to add the honorific, you worthless creature. It's because you're so useless that you can't receive the special 'blessing' like us."

"That lord was merciful and gave us the opportunity to clear the Byrne family's name."

After that, Kaim and Shem each displayed their magic.

Two huge torrents of magic power rushed towards the sky, like pillars supporting the sky.

It wasn't just the amount of magic power that was unusual; the color seemed off as well. Their magic power had originally been the darker color unique to the Byrne family, but the magic power they were now releasing was a brilliant white.

Moreover, wings formed by magic power and of the same color unfolded on their backs.

This appearance is like that of an "Apostle of God".

"This is... outrageous..."

Seeing his two sons' bodies being arbitrarily modified, Ross was furious and felt like his head was about to burn.

However, his two sons seemed to think that Rolls was trembling with anger because he was afraid.

Ugly sneers appeared on their faces as they looked down at their former father and brother.

"Do you understand? We have been granted the qualifications to ascend to the same rank as the Apostles."

"Defeat you and recover the holy sword. If we accomplish this mission, we will be allowed to ascend to a higher realm. The reputation of the Byrne family and the prestige of the White Light Knights will endure forever, earning the trust of their followers!"

The decision to execute Rous was irrefutable.

However, no matter how hard they tried to hide it, the fact that the leader of the White Light Knights had been lost would still spread throughout the world.

So the church solved it this way.

Let the two sons of the Knight Commander reach the realm of the Apostles and lead the White Light Knights. As for the matter of Laus, just make up a story and lie that he died a martyr.

That would be an incredibly touching and heartwarming story. Afterwards, the world's attention would be focused solely on the two orphans of a distinguished family who had achieved such great things.

(It seems the script has already been written...)

Ryan Hyde had originally intended to quietly move closer to Ross, but he was restrained by two members of the expeditionary force, and he was extremely anxious. Ross also noticed this.

Cui was also kneeling on one leg in the shallows upstream, waiting for an opportunity.

The knights surrounding them were inexplicably silent, even to the point of being eerie. They also showed none of the excitement of mad believers facing traitors.

But they were strong. That was the only thing that was certain at the moment. They had absolutely no flaws, and they were holding Rouse and the others in check with mechanical precision.

(Really... can they be subdued?)

Defeat these strange members of the expedition, capture Kaim and Shem, and take them away... Ross pondered, calculating how to achieve this goal.

Even if they no longer look at me as a father, even if I have lost the love I have for my youngest brother.

Even in the eyes of his two completely changed sons, he was just an enemy of God.

Ross still suppressed his anger and sorrow, and was determined to find a way to rescue his two sons.

Perhaps sensing Ross's intentions, and seeing that Ryanhead and Cui still hadn't given up, Kaim sneered and said:

"Hmph, don't continue this embarrassing resistance. The Pope has given us a trump card that will surely take your lives."

Kaim raised the sword in his hand—he called it the "Second Holy Sword."

The expeditionary force possessed weapons similar to those of the Seven Sacred Arms, and the knights exuded a strange, oppressive aura. Beyond that, they likely had other means prepared to eliminate Rouse and the others.

"Despair! You will never escape divine punishment!"

Shem also raised a staff in his hand—a staff that was very similar to the Holy Staff.

Facing the strongest knight of the church, they were not even nervous at all, which showed that they were confident of victory.

At this time, a bit of murderous aura emerged from the knights.

The killing is about to begin, imminent—no, before that—

"Tsuei is willing to sell information about the Liberator~~!!"

Along with the sound of splashing water, such ridiculous words reached my ears.

This loud shout completely interrupted the scene, giving people the illusion that time had stopped for a moment.

My head involuntarily turned in the direction of the sound and saw Cui kneeling upright in the shallows, her hands pressed to the ground, her body bent low, her eyes peering upwards. She even laughed a few times, looking very vulgar.

Not only that──

"You beast, you have no right to speak—"

"There are tons of Liberators lurking around the Divine Capital! Some of them use Innate Magic, and some are even high-ranking officials! And Cui knows the locations of all their bases!"

Without waiting for the other person to speak, Cui continued to add to the conversation. Kaim was speechless for a moment and could only open and close his mouth repeatedly.

"What!? Miss Cui, what nonsense are you talking about—"

"Stop talking nonsense! Tsui doesn't want to die! Can't you see how terrifying these guys are!? There's no way a tired old man and a fledgling hero can win! Tsui, don't die!!"

Such despicable remarks left Ryan Hyde speechless.

Shem's cheeks twitched stiffly as he managed to force out a response.

"This little bit of information isn't enough to save your life."

"Hey! Shem, you're not trying to negotiate with her, are you? Don't let that beast fool you!"

"But, brother, this bastard is the captain of the Republic Warriors mentioned in the report. Our mission is to subjugate Ross Byrne and the other three, and this bastard is not included in that. Bringing her back to provide information should not be considered a violation of orders."

"I don't care! I can't believe what a lowly creature like you who doesn't even understand faith says! Don't you understand what I mean!?"

"I don't believe it. But as long as we keep her alive, there are naturally many ways to deduce the truth, right?"

"this……"
