An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"That being said, if we don't find a solution, we really won't be able to hold on any longer."

Kip panted and said this, and then—

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The queen's voice sounded like a silver bell, the voice everyone had been waiting for for a long time.

"Huha!" Leonardo and others couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The next moment, Lutilis suddenly opened her eyes, and magical power the color of tender leaves burst out.

Spirals of magic surged into the sky. The powerful magic and pressure silenced the roaring knights, their morale high.

Then, the Queen chanted "The Sea of ​​Trees Revealed" loudly.

A smile appeared on Lutilis's face that even Creed and the others had never seen before.

She gracefully wielded her protective staff, her smile unruly and charming, as if she was looking down on her foolish enemies.

The earth rumbled, and at the same time, behind Lutilis, in front of the south gate, a giant tree began to rise.

Looking at it this way, it is no different from the wall of giant trees in the central square.

But these trees were different from the ones there. The roots seemed to be coated in metal, dancing constantly. The branches twisted, gently picking up the queen.

The giant tree grew taller and taller, and continued to grow even after it was taller than the defense wall.

There are ten such huge trees in total.

The moment the beautiful queen narrowed her eyes, the giant tree erupted with magic power.

"—[The Demonic Tree Appears]."

She chanted this while pointing her staff toward the ground.

Instantly, countless thorny tree roots sprouted from beneath the knights' feet, each one as hard as steel. Thick branches lashed out like whips, and a flood of leaves transformed into sharp, whirling blades, raining down.

This monster, born from a seed created through a combination of Creation Magic, Transformation Magic, and Soul Magic, and blessed by the power of the Guardian Wand, is the "Magic Tree Trento."

Although this giant tree is extremely ferocious, its true strength lies not in this, but in its inherent magic, "magical attraction".

It can absorb the magic of nature from the earth, transform it and pass it back to its mother, the queen.

With this magical power, Lutilis could perform the "Sea of ​​Trees Manifestation" towards the large cathedral five kilometers away.

"so what?"

The entire battlefield was shaken, but that lifeless voice remained icy. It was the apostle.

Just a monster, just disintegrate it - the apostle judged so and gathered silver light in his hand.

"Do you think I spent so much time preparing for such a trivial matter?"

The Queen said this, chuckling twice. Her expression seemed to be mocking the apostle.

No, perhaps it was because she held a grudge against the apostles because her beloved tree, Wuya Otto, had been harmed in the last war.

"I'm not good at fighting."

Therefore, at least we must provide the greatest support to the battlefield where we are not.

"—[Forbidden Zone Release]."

Supporting her companions in the battle at the cathedral. Just like usual. So she took her time to understand the enemy and devise countermeasures.

"—『Talent Seal』."

The magic power of the tender leaf color spread like ripples, covering Kimi Yesu and others, without escaping the net.

"This is……"

The apostle's brow furrowed slightly.

Because she noticed that the church's overall combat power had been greatly reduced.

The reason why sublimation magic can enhance power is because its essence is "interference with information." In other words, it can add information about one power, increasing it to two.

Given this, it's not impossible to reduce their power. Rewriting intelligence is far more difficult than adding it, and it's even considered a divine skill. Therefore, acquiring intelligence on over ten thousand enemies took a considerable amount of time.

"Alright. With this, the Church's combat power should be roughly the same as before the Apostle transformation."

"It doesn't matter. Just get rid of you."

"No, your opponent is me."

The apostle fired a disintegration bombardment, and a second Laws appeared between the apostle and Lutilis, raising his prosthetic limb to block it.

In an instant, the prosthetic limb emitted a magical light the color of the sky. The two fingers were put together and hooked upwards. The prosthetic limb immediately generated an upward gravity field, causing the gravity artillery to turn and fly upwards.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll take care of all of you."

The apostle noticed something was wrong and turned his eyes to find that the apostle who was originally attacking Leke Aileyin was knocked away by Ross - yes, by the third Ross.

Turning his gaze back to Royce, he raised his prosthetic finger and spoke provocatively.

"What's wrong? You're welcome, just come on."

The apostle's eyes narrowed. She looked a little annoyed, perhaps due to an illusion.

"This time I'm going to chop off all your limbs."

With a flap of its silver wings, the apostle rapidly approached, leaving behind a shadow. Rolls pushed hard with both feet, charging forward.

"Brother Lao! I'll take care of the Chief Archbishop! Please focus on the apostles!"

"I'm warning you, never call me that in front of Kaim and the others!"

Ross warned Lutilis.

Meanwhile, Rouse, who was facing off against the Kaim brothers...

"Brother! The Apostle is fighting fiercely! We must at least subdue his true form!"

"That's right! We're risking our lives!"

The corners of Ross's eyes drooped a little sadly.

However, this was also something that could be anticipated. The gap between father and son could not be bridged with just a few words.

Even so, he believed his sons must have sensed something. Royce's expression changed as he believed this.

That was the expression of the strongest knight.

"You two... I'm sorry, but time's up."

The vivid, dark magic blew up intensely. The density and pressure of the magic were so intense that they made their hair stand on end. The two brothers unconsciously took two steps back.

"This is just my willfulness. You can blame me and hate me all you want."

Even so, it is impossible to allow important sons to continue to stay with God.

"—『First Limit: Breakthrough』."

""ah?""

The dark waves surged with a thud, and the Kaim brothers were stunned.

The man before him had single-handedly subdued the two brothers and Akin. He completely disregarded the apostolic knights and even broke through the dense defensive formation of Chimejesu.

That must be due to the power of sublimation magic. Besides that, it must also be due to the effect of activating "Limit Break."

Moreover, another him was currently fighting an apostle in the sky, evenly matched. It was impossible that he hadn't activated his "Limit Breakthrough." If he hadn't activated it, and still had such strength... then wouldn't it be... after activating it...

"Are you a monster..."

"My reputation as the strongest isn't undeserved."

The brothers thought that if they bought time, Rouse would become tired like he had during their last stand in the stream, and then they would have a chance of winning.

"How ridiculous! How could you...!"

Shem roared in fear, flapping his white wings. Kaim also raised the Second Holy Sword, his expression aching with despair.

“—‘Purification’.”

When the two brothers came to their senses, Ross had already approached them at a speed that was beyond their ability to recognize, and gently placed his hands on their foreheads.

Suddenly, their consciousness gradually became blurred, and the two brothers realized that their bodies were falling.

"Liberators will come to protect you. We'll continue our discussion later."

Hit by a spell that draws out their souls, Kaim and Shem's spirits were separated from their physical bodies.

Seeing Ross lying down so gently, the two brothers wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say, so they had to lower their heads.

"Please. Just watch now. Watch what we are going to do. And then, if possible..."

Ross turned his back to the brothers and spoke. His expression was the gentle one of a father, and it was clear he was sincerely hoping for something. He continued:

"I hope you can see beyond the church and see the real world."

With that, Royce hurried away. Kaim half-watched the receding figure, unconsciously touching his forehead. In his ethereal state, he should be completely numb. But for some reason, his forehead felt warm.

Having lost his apostolic power, Chimeyousu manipulated the dead like a madman. Meanwhile, the liberators and their companions entrusted their lives to each other. Shem observed both sides. For some reason, a wave of unease washed over him.

In any case, there was nothing either of them could do now.

Only now did the two brothers finally listen to what Rouse said, calm down and look up at the sky.

"...The rate of increase in Limit Breakthrough has actually increased?"

Two apostles and two clones are fighting in the air.

After the main body activated "First Limit Breakthrough," the combat power of the two clones also increased. The apostle muttered in surprise at this. And the facts were just as she had expected.

Previously, the maximum rate of increase was five times, divided into eight equal parts. As for the current rate of increase, the effect of the usual "Limit Breakthrough" of the "First Limit" is three times, and the maximum can be increased to ten times. Therefore...

"—'Third Limit: Breakthrough'."

Achieving the previous maximum effect, which was five times the original, was now a piece of cake for Rolls. It could even be classified as a normal move.

“Hmm… He actually increased his power to the point of overwhelming destruction without hesitation…!”

At this time, the two apostles turned their attention to the main body that had just come up from the ground.

One of the apostles shot out a large number of silver feathers to surround it, while the other fired a disintegration bombardment.

Ross sent his clone to block the attack, while holding the war hammer at his waist, he attacked the apostle who was shooting silver feathers.

The war club shot out like an arrow from a powerful bow, only to be blocked by the apostle's greatsword. However, the force of the extension was beyond the apostle's expectations, causing her to groan and be flung back.

Rouse sent two clones to deal with the apostle, while his main body quickly rushed towards the apostle firing the artillery. By the time the apostle realized what was happening, Rouse was already right in front of him.

"It's so fast."

"Be careful not to bite your tongue."

At the same time, Laws swung his war club so quickly that even the apostle's excellent dynamic vision looked blurry.

Fortunately, the double swords had a wide enough area to block the attack. However, the impact was so strong that the double swords almost fell out of their hands.

"To use it with sublimation magic, it can actually increase the effect to this degree... ugh..."

"I told you, be careful not to bite your tongue."

There was no time to resist the blow. The war club swung down from above, striking the apostle hard on the head. The shockwaves radiated out from this single blow, demonstrating its immense power.

However, the apostle did not fall. Rouse immediately used the other end of the warhammer to strike him upward. The apostle's jaw was struck from below, and his body bent backwards.

Although the apostle's body was extremely strong, he still couldn't avoid the shaking and blurring in front of his eyes.

Even so, they can still continue to launch silver feathers. This is the terrifying thing about the Apostle...

"snort!"

Of course, Laws was no ordinary man. He swung his staff, gathering immense magical power and unleashing it all in a shockwave. With a resounding explosion, the silver feathers were blasted to scatter.

As the apostle regained his composure, the prosthetic fist sank deep into his abdomen.

This blow caused the apostle's body to bend into a U-shape. Besides the power of the magic shockwave, the built-in "Heaven Shock" function of the prosthetic limb violently stirred the apostle's body.

Combined with Ross's original arm strength, the battle suit on the apostle's abdomen was finally broken, and the impact force penetrated the body and sprayed out from the back.

The apostle's eyes became sharper, and he released his two greatswords, grasping Rouse's shoulders with immense force, and wrapped his silver wings around him, intending to destroy him with his decomposing magic from the inside. But before that could happen—

"snort!"

Rouse struck with a full-throttle headbutt. With a clang, a sound unlike the collision of flesh and blood echoed, and the apostle fell back again.
