The Order of Kybriel (2)

Ryu Han-bin was an Earthling.

He was not a native of Latna.

Nevertheless, Kibie asked him for help.

Han-bin, unlike the other Aliens, was hostile to the Devil.

Returning to Earth was also a clear reason to help the Goddess.

He was perfect in terms of combat skills and potentials.

As far as Kibie knew, Ryu Han-bin was the best helper that could replace Baotolt.

At least until then.

But now you have a much better substitute than me.

Leon Hart Kartel Frelsis, the Spiritual Boxer.

He was a blessed person like Baotolt, and he had absolute power in the realm of masters.

His skills might be comparable to that of Ryu Han-bin, but his combat experience was much higher.

He was also the Templar Lord of Kybriel, so he had much more power and influence to exercise in the world.

I think Leon Hart should take the Sacred Heart. But did you need me?

Leon Hart, who was driving the Golem steeds, looked back at Han-bin, shocked.

Its amazing how you can think of that after getting such a huge power. Is it the pride of warriors, or are you simply not greedy?

Ryu Han-bin shook his Head.

Its not exactly like that. Of course, I like getting stronger. However, considering the ultimate goal, giving it to you will be the best option.

Han-bins final goal was to restore the Goddesss divinity and go back to Earth.

It doesnt matter who wields it. We just need to get rid of the Top Three.

Leon Harts eyes softened.

He looked back at Kibie.

Thats unexpected. Its surprisingly rare for anyone in a position of power to say that.

What do you think? I picked a pretty good master of the Sacred Heart, didnt I?

After shrugging her shoulders, she looked serious.

Thats true, but it cant be Leon Hart.

As she said, I dont deserve the Sacred Heart.

How come? The Goddesses have blessed you. Hasnt your qualification been proven enough? You even unlocked the seal this time.

Kibie and Leon Hart explained.

The problem is that I am blessed by the Goddesses.'

Unfortunately, it meant it wouldnt have much effect when I take the Sacred Heart of the Darkness.

Leon Hart became immortal even though the Goddesss blessing limited it.

He already had the blessing of six Goddesses.

That clashed with the sacred Heart of Darkness.

Even if Leon Hart takes it, Han-bin, it wont have the same dramatic effect as it did with you.

Kibie explained his Prana would be about 50% stronger than before.

Of course, that wasnt an ordinary thing, but it was less effective than Ryu Han-bin, whose Aura amount had increased several times.

Is that why?

Han-bin, who they were trying to convince, suddenly frowned.

What about the Sword King? I heard you were going to give him this. But the Sword King was blessed by the six goddesses, right?

She gave a bitter smile.

Of course, Baotolt wouldnt be that much affected by it either. Maybe it was only about a 20% increase in the Aura amount.

However, that was enough for the Sword King.

He was that much stronger than the Top Three.

If his Aura amount increased by 20% more, it would be enough to create an absolute gap between him and the Top Three.

On the other hand, Leon Hart was different.

If his Prana increased by more than 50 percent with the Sacred Heart, it wouldnt still be enough to fight against Hollien easily.

Ryu Han-bin, who could exert the Sacred Hearts powers fullest potential, was better suited to have it.

Of course, that would only be true if you can master Baotolts absolute skill.

Kibie tapped Han-bin on the shoulder, asking him to do his best.

Feeling pressured, Ryu Han-bin frowned.

Oh, but thats too hard

Although his Aura amount had increased, he still had no idea what the mustard seed rhyme meant.

So far, it had been overwhelming to deal with the amplified Aura.

Where am I supposed to be doing this?

Leon Hart encouraged him.

Dont worry. Ill do my best to help you. Arent you heading to the Church for that?

The wagon had reached the entrance of the Landea Mountains, which separated the border between Kaldris and Allendia.

They were heading to Scotaskia, the headquarters of the Church of Darkness.

That was due to Leon Harts insistence that the Church should be informed of the incarnation.

The Top Three are the rulers of the world. No matter how strong you are, you cant deal with them with your strength.

Therefore, they must obtain the cooperation of the Church of Darkness.

Then they would be able to attract the five other Orders as allies and fight back to some extent against the might of the Continental Top Three.

As important as that matter is, we must first deliver the truth to Pope Castalo, the Saintess Sermen, and some of the leaders.

Kibie was half-confident.

Will they believe me?

It was so hard for her to persuade even Leon Hart.

The sacred item gave them solid evidence, but what about the others?

Effir wondered.

Leon Hart is the Head of the Church Knights. Would you doubt Leon Harts testimony?

Thats not enough. Castalo or Sermen wouldnt rule out the possibility that Leon Hart might have been deceived.

If someone were the Head of a church, he or she couldnt act rashly.

On the contrary, that was the right posture.

He couldnt blame them.

They needed something else to convince them.

The problem is that theres no more of that.

Theres a way to persuade them.

Leon Hart talked to Kibie, who was worried.

Maybe you havent thought of it.

* * *

The next afternoon, Han-bin and his group arrived in Scotaskia.

It had been a mess from the gate those days.

Leon Harts disappearance was widespread within the Church.

Countless people moved to save him, so even a subordinate retainer couldnt be unaware.

The believers gathered together and began to hum.

Oh, my God, Leon Hart!

Youre safe, Templar Lord!

Leon Hart asked, calming his minions.

I want to see the Pope. Where is he?

One of the warriors answered calmly.

A messenger was sent to him. You will meet him in a minute.

Several believers had already rushed to announce the news.

The Pope is not the only one who is concerned about the safety of Lord Leon Hart.

Seeing how he was safe, the holy warriors drew a sign, saying, It is indeed the guidance of Kybriel.

They then suddenly asked.

But what about them?

Leon Hart didnt return alone.

He had a group of hunters with them.

But somehow, werent they very similar to the unidentified Aliens who had kidnapped Leon Hart?

They are reliable. Lets make room for them.

Leon Hart took a step forward, addressing the wary warriors.

The officials didnt understand the situation but still followed orders.

Oh, as you command, Templar Lord.

* * *

The group was immediately escorted to the main hall of the Church, the Hall of Stars.

Looking around the hall, Han-bin clicked his tongue.

Wow, its pure black.

Since it was a place built mainly of graphite, the colors were all the same.

The walls were black, the ceilings were black, the floors were black, and the curtains were black

Artis gave a bitter smile.

Looking at the atmosphere, its like some evil clandestine organization.

The atmosphere of our Church is a bit like that.

Considering Leon Harts pure acceptance, the Church seemed to be aware of it.

Han-bin and his party sat quietly and waited.

After a while, a group of believers entered the hall.

They were the Pope of Darkness, Castalo II, the saintess Sermen, and the High Priests.

A middle-aged woman in her 50s who saw Leon Hart gave him a bright smile.

Good thing youre alright, Templar Lord.

Im sorry to have troubled you, Dear Saintess.

After a polite compliment, Leon Hart looked back at everyone.

Youve already heard of it. She is the incarnation of Kybriel.

Kibie got up from her seat.

But the believers did not kneel.

Umm

I dont doubt the Templar Lord

I cant just believe it because its an extremely major situation

Forgive the foolish man who doubts the will of the Goddess.

Kibie grinned.

It was an expected response.

I suppose so.

She gestured behind her back.

Open their eyes, Effir.

The silver-haired girl walked softly to the center of the hall.

Curious, the Pope and the Saintess squinted.

Effir smoothed her necklace.

Paasss!

The girl disappeared with a dazzling light.

In her stead appeared a giant silver-maned Wyvern about 10 meters tall.

What?

Thats the monster from the countryside!

The believers were startled and pulled Prana up.

Leon Hart stopped everyone.

Calm down. Shes already under the grace of incarnation.

Indeed, Wyvern stood there, not running wild.

Castalo II, who regained his calmness, stroked his beard.

Okay, Wyvern, who can take human form

They had never heard or seen it before.

They had already been informed that Kybriels incarnation would show.

But they couldnt believe them on that premise alone.

That much is also possible for Aliens to do. That alone is not proof.

Leon Hart nodded gently at the words of the wary Pope.

You are right, Holy Father. Its the power of that necklace that can turn her into a human being.

Leon Hart briefly described the Polymorph Necklace.

The expression of the Pope and the Saintess changed strangely.

They said to show evidence of her being the incarnation. But what if they showed abilities related to Aliens?

Did they want to be more suspicious?

At that moment, she spoke.

Eh, what do we do now?

The vicious-looking Wyvern opened her mouth.

You told me just to say something, but I need you to tell me what to say.

Everyone was shocked at the moment and opened their mouths wide.

The Wyvern can talk?

Thats so fluent, too.

A truly fluent Coulin language flowed from the mouth of the vicious monster.

The word order and grammar were perfect and intelligently formed.

The Wyvern rolled her eyes as she looked around her.

Leon Hart smiled and gestured.

Will you introduce yourself to these people, Miss Effir?

Effir bowed her head as she was told.

Hello, my name is Effir. Im a Wyvern, and Im 18 years old this year.

It was clear.

The Wyvern had intelligence.

It was not different from humans.

It was impossible by any magic, by any spiritual skill, or even by Alien abilities.

You must be right!

Its a miracle of the Goddess!

Kibie smiled softly at the officials.

It was an elegant, goddess-like smile.

However, she was embarrassed inside.

Wow, it worked?!
