Bart remained alert, looking in the direction of the sound and noticed that Tigne had stumbled slightly. At the same time, he saw the reason.

"Another apostle appeared."

A silver pillar of light stood out from the crumbling wall. Someone must be fighting the apostles in the sky outside, most likely Bandu.

The battle situation in the square was also of concern. Although Bart and the others were responsible for holding off the White Light Knights,...

"Hmph, without Meredi Lessen, are you capable of fighting against the Apostle?"

Lelaye said this, his expression twisted with ecstasy. Just now, Meredith had dispatched the Apostle in an instant, terrifying the knights. But Lelaye believed that only Meredith had such ability. If the Apostle arrived on this battlefield, victory would be assured.

However, a rebellious smile appeared on Bart's face.

"Of course I have the ability. I dare to challenge you because I can. Because the Age of Gods magicians are truly monsters—don't you agree, Natsu!"

Then, a violent tremor ripped through the battlefield. Leleye and the others looked closely and found that the monster had sunk into the ceiling, its lower body severed and falling to the ground.

"Hey, be careful! It almost got to me!"

"Well...even if something happens, we still have Tigne, right?"

"Are you saying that as long as I can recover, it doesn't matter? That's as cruel as Mei's! You've been infected by her!"

The one who easily defeated the transformed Erim was Nizu, who had just rushed into the depths of the palace. Katie, nearly being minced along with him, protested with tears in her eyes, a menacing, cat-like voice.

"Natsu! What's going on!?" Bart asked loudly.

"No problem! The captives and the ladies have been successfully rescued and transported away!"

This is another one of Nizu's tasks.

The captives, of course, were heretics. They were those previously captured by the Church, outside of those publicly executed, and had no connection to the liberators. Their plight was dire, and some were even used as experimental material.

After hearing about this from Roth, Meredith and the others immediately decided to rescue these people. They also took Lykolis and Deborah with them. Of course, they were reluctant, but Roth would take care of them.

In this way, the Liberator camp will have no worries at all.

At this time, silver light rained down outside the palace again. Bart saw this and shouted loudly.

"That's fine! There's no problem on our end! Go ahead and make a scene!"

"learn."

"Ugh, stop!"

Of course, Natsu wouldn't stop just because Lelaie shouted that and disappear out of thin air right there and then.

"Now comes the final sprint, boys! Hang in there! We must bring down the majesty of the white light here today!"

“““““Ohh ...

Many of our companions unfortunately lost their lives, and we were still outnumbered.

However, the partners' response remained firm and strong.

"Martyrdom is our honor! We must kill them all, even if it means we all perish together!"

In response to Lelaye's roar, the White Light Knights fought back with all their might, their momentum no less than that of the Liberator.

However, one side is motivated by the pursuit of survival and the future, while the other side is obsessed with death and the continuation of the past. Therefore...

The trend of the battle is actually very obvious.

—About a thousand meters above the palace.

About five hundred holy dragons, emitting pure white light all over their bodies, and about one hundred and sixty demon dragons as dark as the night were fighting in the air, and the scene was in chaos.

Even though Mulu harbored a burning desire to kill Laus and was filled with anxiety, he would never forget his mission. He knew his troops were the first to reach the mountain headquarters, so he ordered them there as quickly as possible without hesitation.

Furthermore, we must not allow Milledi Lessen, who has the ability to defeat the apostles, to act freely.

He should use numbers to overwhelm the enemy as soon as possible, and ideally, take the head of the Age of Gods magician to boost the morale of the entire army. Although he had such a wishful thinking, but...

What awaits him is the worst outcome.

“Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!!”

Mulu kept repeating the same words like a madman and fired the holy bow continuously.

Surprisingly, all he shot were "White Arrows of Decomposition." Although it was necessary to shoot from the Holy Bow, unlike Lelaye, he did not need any lead time.

His target was, of course, Bandu, who was floating in the air on his pterosaur.

"I'm tired of your tricks."

After saying that, Bandu cut down all the dangerous white arrows that were like a hail of bullets.

He made the jet-black sword spin like a windmill, which was quite similar to Bart's movement with the scythe.

The greatsword's attacks, utilizing centrifugal force, are continuous, a powerful attack and defense move. The greatsword itself naturally possesses the ability to "slay demons."

"Adra!"

—Gahhhhhhhh!

Responding to his master's command, Holy Dragon King Aedra unleashed the Dragon's Roar. The powerful beam was perhaps even more powerful than the highest-level attack magic, Divine Power, used by ten people.

However, Bandu didn't seem to have any intention of dodging.

"Uluruk! Bartram!"

He summoned his strongest servants.

Uruluk then ignored the powerful beam approaching its master and fired dragon breath from the side of Aedra. At the same time, Bandu's scarf began to wriggle and swell—no, that wasn't a scarf, but Bartram in the form of a scarf.

Bartram transformed into a three-dimensional metal shield, angled upwards so that the beam of light shot upwards.

Adra, who had just finished roaring, had no time to react and was pierced through the side by Uruluk's dragon breath.

Adra wailed, her body spinning and flung away. A gaping hole had been torn in her abdomen, and a horrific amount of blood gushed out, turning into a bloody rain that fell on the palace below.

Mulu immediately cast a recovery spell for it, but he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

His partner was the guardian beast of the Divine Capital, the strongest dragon. Despite this title, he was completely unable to defeat the enemy before him. Furthermore, he had been severely injured several times since the battle began.

All the Holy Dragons had gained the power of apostle transformation, so they should have been even more resilient than in the previous war. However, they had never expected it to end up like this.

"What are you guys still standing there for!? Hold that guy back!"

"I'm trying! But it's too hard!"

"And it's too fast!" another member replied.

As they said, all the magic dragons are equipped with jet-black dragon armor, and the dragon scales will evolve as their owners grow. Their defense is so impregnable that the dragon breath of the holy dragons is completely powerless.

Although a concentrated attack from several Holy Dragons could still shatter some of the equipment, the Demon Dragons were extremely agile and swift, making it difficult to hit them. Even if they did hit, the additional effects of their Dragon Armor would gradually repair the damage.

"I don't want to hear any discouraging words from you! Keep up the attack! Don't stop! We have the advantage in numbers, crush them!"

Mulu commanded. His tone was fierce, completely different from his usual gentle demeanor. The Beastlight Knight captain, desperate to cry but unable to, had no choice but to lead his ten men and continue their attempt to encircle Uruluk. But...

"Don't even think about getting in the way of Master Ban!"

That's right—she's here again.

A woman with dyed red hair slipped between the squad and Uruluk. She was Margaret, the female warrior leader of the Schnee tribe. As soon as she appeared, she unleashed a hail of fire spears, an incredible number.

At the same time, she fired a large number of arrows from the black bow in her hand. It was a magic bow with a treasure house attached. The arrows stored in the treasure house had the effects of various magic swords and also had the ability to track souls.

Of course, the dragon Margaret rode also blew out its breath to attack, and the orb embedded in the dragon's helmet greatly increased the destructive power of its breath.

As a result, the two knights were shot down because they could not evade the attack. Even if the knights wanted to concentrate their firepower on Bandu and Uruluk, the warriors of the Xuni clan would definitely come to stop them.

Margaret and others are undoubtedly a minority of elites.

They possess the exceptional magical aptitude unique to the demon race, while possessing the tough physiques characteristic of the orc race, capable of withstanding the swift and intense movements of a dragon in the air. Their harsh past as experimental subjects has cultivated powerful magical skills, and they are also equipped with a variety of divine weaponry.

Most of the enemies were dealt with by the dragon troops, while the Xuni warriors focused on protecting Bandu.

Thus, Mulu's wishful thinking of gaining the upper hand by relying on the numbers of the dragon riders was overturned. And the advantage in numbers was gradually disappearing.

(Damn it! I hope at least the troops on the ground can go support Bai Guang!)

Looking down, the undamaged section of the Sky Corridor was littered with evidence of fierce fighting between the Sacred Wolf Army and the Demon Wolf Army led by the Ice Wolf Kuo. The Sacred Wolves seemed to be at a disadvantage.

The Holy Wolf Corps is unable to conduct aerial combat, so they are assigned to support the defense of the Cathedral. If the White Light Knights have spare capacity, perhaps they can be counted on to send their extra forces to assist. However, it seems that the Holy Wolves may not be able to arrive...

Mulu was distracted for a moment as he thought this. Suddenly, he heard a roar and Uruluk's dragon breath shot towards him. Adra dodged the attack, but—

"Are you still in the mood to think about other things?"

“Oops—”

Bandu had unexpectedly circled behind him and swung a huge sword at him. When Mulu turned his head to look behind him, the huge sword was already right in front of him.

In the critical moment, Mulu quickly spread his white wings to defend himself. The wings were quite strong, and even if Bandu's greatsword activated its ability to cut through space, the blow still failed to hit Mulu.

However, he was unable to completely offset the force of the impact, and Mulu's body fell forward and flew off Adra's back.

Mulu controlled the white wings, turned upward in the air, and swept the feathers towards Bandu, while shooting the "White Arrow of Decomposition".

“That’s too fast…!”

Mulu's tone was full of trembling and astonishment.

Bandu delicately controlled the dragon wings on his back, skillfully avoiding all the white feathers by a hair's breadth, and with a vertical slash, he cut the "White Arrow of Decomposition" in two, then spun like a top and went to the side.

These movements were completed in a split second, and the level of skill with which they flew was incomparable.

Facing the huge sword coming towards his neck, all Mulu could do was raise the holy bow to block it.

Instantly, Bandu's movements faltered slightly, and a faint groan was heard. Then, the greatsword missed.

Mulu flapped his white wings, adjusted his stance, and stopped in mid-air. He was covered in cold sweat and his breathing was extremely rapid.

"Well, Mr. Beshu, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"Mr. Ban, I'm sorry!"

Two apologetic voices sounded at the same time.

One of the people who apologized was Mulu. The person he apologized to was the Light Guardian Knight Beshu. His inherent magic, "Holy Eye," could trigger multiple abnormalities, five of which were visible to the naked eye.

Another person who apologized was Todalit, the captain of the Schnee warrior squad who was fighting against Beshu. She looked like a smaller version of Margaret, but was actually sixteen years old.

Although her face was pale and she looked panicked, she quickly shifted her gaze away from Bandu and continued to shoot huge boomerangs and lightning strikes at her opponent, Beshu.

"Don't worry, Todalit! It's reducing smoothly now!"

"...Yes! Mr. Ban!"

Todalit seemed to understand something, a smile spreading across her face as she lunged at Beshu, continuing her assault. Meanwhile, the Schnee warriors of the squadron were firing a barrage of crossbows and dragon breath at Beshu, shouting, "I must hit him at least once myself, to avenge Mr. Ban!"

"No, I'm still alive..." Although the squad leader muttered this, the soldiers did not hear him.

The Schunis possessed a relatively high resistance to the enemy's "Death Penalty Execution," and their astonishing acrobatic agility, leaping between the dragons, prevented Besh from maintaining a steady gaze, barely managing to counter the effects of the "Holy Eye." However, their impulsive nature and tendency to lose control of their emotions worried Bandu.

In addition, the number of enemies is almost reduced to the planned target.

At this time, Mulu roared at Bandhu.

"Do you think you can handle me easily?!"

"So what?"

"you……!"

Bandu, looking relaxed, tapped his shoulder with his greatsword. Mulu was speechless with rage, his temple twitching and veins clearly visible on his forehead.

"We can't waste too much manpower on a skirmish like this."

After saying this, Bandu sighed. This provocation was a perfect score, and one could even hear the sound of his rationality snapping.

"Edraa ...

Mulu's whole body burst into light, and then the light from his body gathered on Adra like a torrent.

—Roar!

Adra roared loudly and shot dragon breath at the team led by Margaret and others.

This surprise attack came so suddenly that it even risked injuring its own people. However, Margaret and the others, as if anticipating it, descended rapidly and dodged the blow.

The dragon's breath, shaped like a powerful beam of light, slashed down with the force of an executioner's cleaver sword. Naturally, dozens of Beast Light Knights, unprepared for such a development, were unable to avoid it and were instantly vaporized.

At this time, Uruluk approached from the side.

It unleashed its second inherent magic, "Impact Roar," acquired after evolution, and dealt Adra a solid blow of shockwave damage.
