As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

It’s so real...at this moment I can seem to feel everyone in the world through that magnified light.

Whether alive or dead.

Even... Helius' mother!

Inissa also slowly opened her eyes and waved her hand. The entire ball of light expanded completely until it completely covered the church.

It was a phantom film, like the existence of a soul.

It's like the soul of this church, or the tiny trace it left among the stars.

And the most crucial things finally appeared in front of several people little by little.

That was... a woman lying in front of a statue in the church. She was as weak as a candle in the wind and was about to leave this world completely at any time.

A woman in nun's clothes nearby also slowly picked up a child.

This child is naturally...the Grand Prince of the Holy Empire, Asfield!

"Was the birth successful?"

A familiar voice sounded, causing Helius to subconsciously turn his head.

The shadow that seemed to be in soul state also penetrated several people, came to the nun, and slowly took the child from the woman's arms.

"Everything is as you expected, High Priest!"

Chapter 28 He...found us

"High Priest... Is this really the case?"

Inissa looked at what was happening before her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.

Even though I have heard Helius mention this speculation.

But Asfield's birth was entirely planned by the high priest...

Thinking about it!

What kind of plans is this high priest, or more accurately the entire church, preparing?

"This world is always cruel. If someone wants to move forward, someone must make sacrifices, just like this country..."

The figure of the high priest was holding the baby in his arms and talking to himself.

The strange thing is that the newborn baby can't cry.

He just kept his eyes open, silently watching his mother whose breathing was gradually getting weaker.

His eyes were full of indifference.

"What the High Priest said is true. It is because of the sacrifices of the Holy Trinity that we have the Holy Empire and the Church today!"

The nun bowed deeply and respectfully.

The look in his eyes when he looked towards the high priest was also full of reverence.

"The Trial of the Temple... is just a fool who doesn't even know he's being used. In the final analysis... whether it's Chiba Kyohei or the so-called adventers, they are just the smallest chess pieces on this chessboard... and they will never escape being controlled by that big hand! But..."

As the high priest spoke, a wound appeared on his finger, and blood dripped onto the corner of the baby's mouth.

Just like a child looking forward to the first sip of milk in his life, he enjoyed every drop of blood.

The dark color also entered the child's throat as the blood did, gradually dyeing the child's eyes black.

"You are different. You know what this world needs, and you also know what kind of changes the creatures in this world need, so I also hope that you... can be yourself, Isolde!"

The high priest looked at the nun and said a name that made everyone present gasp.

Isolde!

This name is very familiar to the people in this world, even to time travelers like Inissa who have lived in this world for a long time.

The Dragon Princess, once the beloved of the Holy Trial!

But the other party actually...

He is just a member of the church?

No! Isolde existed before the church appeared!

Or, this dragon princess is not on the side of the church, but on the side of... the high priest!

"But compared to the uncertain future, what is more important is..."

As the high priest spoke, he suddenly turned his head and instantly locked onto Inissa's position out of the corner of his eye!

It was clearly just an image, clearly just a restoration of traces of the past, but the other party actually captured Inissa at this moment.

It's not that he sensed the fluctuation of magic power, but that he confirmed... the existence of Inissa herself!

"You are spying on me! Great scholar... Inissa! Or...?"

As the high priest spoke, a large area of ​​darkness instantly spread out from under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped everything in astrology.

Suddenly, the entire church, and even everyone else in it, disappeared without a trace.

Inissa was the only one left, in the endless darkness and chaos.

A pair of large hands seemed to be slowly approaching Inissa's position.

Alexander's figure also completely emerged behind Inissa.

At the same time, Alexander's true appearance also appeared.

It was clearly appearing behind him, but everything seemed to be unfolding before his eyes.

The feeling of fear and stiffness completely enveloped the body, and I couldn't even move.

It was a feeling of oppression that struck the soul directly, as if no matter how hard one tried or how hard one struggled, there was absolutely no escape from the despair.

"You think I don't know who you are?!"

Just one sentence made Inissa's forehead covered with cold sweat.

Perhaps at this moment Inessa realized that it was not she who had the ability to deal with the church, or to hide the truth from the church or even the high priest Alexander.

But the other party...didn't take me seriously at all from the beginning to the end.

As a true descendant, a great scholar who has thoroughly mastered astrology, in his eyes, I might just be a bug that can be crushed to death at will!

"Don't worry, we will meet soon, right, Grullit Morningstar!"

As Alexander finished speaking, the ring given to Helius by Inessa suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Faintly, there seemed to be an angel appearing in the church, flapping its wings continuously.

The holy feathers also shattered the darkness that enveloped Inissa in an instant.

The entire church was restored to its original state, as if... nothing had happened.

Only Helius, Xiaoye, and the still frightened...Innessa were left!

"What's wrong? What just happened?!"

Noticing Inissa's expression, Helius also became visibly nervous.

He didn't know what exactly happened.

From his and Xiaoye's perspective, there was only a ray of light and the suddenly disappearing "past" constructed by astrology.

"He...found us..."

Inissa opened her mouth and it took a long time for her to get rid of the fear she had just felt, but the panic and despair in her eyes never subsided.

Whether it was Alexander's power that had probably surpassed the level of a god, or Morning Star's ability to predict and even successfully crack it...

All this made Inissa feel deeply desperate.

A despair that I have never experienced and cannot even imagine!

It turns out that in the end, I am the... insignificant, "useless person"!

All his plans and methods were nothing but a joke in front of Alexander or Morning Star!

The Adventers are nothing more than pawns in the hands of the real “culprit behind the scenes”!

"Him? You mean... High Priest Alexander?"

Helius was also stunned.

He also didn't quite understand what Inesa meant.

Isn't astrology a reconstruction of the past? How could it be discovered?

"We lost...we lost everything! We completely lost!"

Inessa looked at Helius, and her miserable laughter also sounded full of self-mockery.

She, who used to be so arrogant, finally understood how the "natives" of this world felt when facing the invaders.

Helpless and desperate.

And how can I struggle if I want to give in to this fate that I will never want to face?

......

On Blood Moon Island, Morning Star, who had just reached a bet with Melody, seemed to feel something, and the corners of his mouth began to rise uncontrollably.

Are you finally willing to show up?

"It seems...it's about time!"

Chenxing slowly stood up and looked at the moon in the sky outside the window.

"It's time to appreciate the gift that others have given us with good intentions!"

Chapter 29 The Unacceptable Truth

Blood Moon Island is exceptionally quiet at night.

It was so quiet that not even the sounds of insects, birds or animals could be heard.

As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The quieter the place, the more uneasy it makes people feel.

It was as if in the shadows, countless evil spirits were watching everything with their scarlet eyes.

"Clesia, you're finally willing to show up!"

As Clesia's companion, looking at the half-elf girl in front of him, his face was full of helplessness.

Obviously, he is the one most valued by the eldest prince among the seven, but he seems to be completely unaware of this.

He likes to be a loner and is rarely willing to participate in team activities.

If it weren't for the fact that each of these seven people bore the "mark" of the church, the eldest prince would have suspected something long ago.

"Sorry, sorry, I just... found something and wanted to investigate. I'll make it up to you next time, Leona!"

Clesia explained apologetically.

Just Leona's expression...

It looks like this isn't the first time Clecia has done this.

If this operation was not really important and urgent, I would have to bear part of the blame for Clesia.

However, noticing Clecia's expression at this moment, it seemed that she really discovered something wrong as the other party said.

She rarely saw the other person show such a complicated expression.

"Are you OK?"

Leona asked with some concern.

The battles with Blood Moon Island during this period had actually allowed them to fully understand the general situation of Blood Moon Island.

Coupled with the information provided by the eldest prince, Leona found it difficult to think of any special circumstances that would cause the other party to show such an expression.

Clesia is the best among them. Not to mention that her elven blood has an extraordinary affinity for magic.

Because the dragon bloodline injected into him by the church, even if it has been diluted countless times, is enough to make his originally weak body reach a level that ordinary people can hardly reach.

Not to mention...
