Chapter 1994: Chapter 1120: The Ongoing Meeting

“Please speak, Your Majesty the Rose King.”

Leo Ray glanced at the Red Queen sitting diagonally opposite him, maintaining due respect and admiration.

“To be honest, Your Royal Highness Prince, when I traveled near the Eternal Sleep Canyon, I had contact with the culprit who secretly opened the Illusion Matrix. It was the No. 1 Black-robed Person.”

Ester’s pale face was full of gravity, frowning as she said, “That No. 1 Black-robed Person’s power is at the Tier 5 peak, yet he possesses a terrible force lost long ago, which is the Anti-Magic Power.”

“Anti-Magic Power?”

Upon hearing this ominous new term, Leo Ray nodded slightly, indicating for the other party to continue.

“Your Royal Highness Prince may not know, the Anti-Magic Power is a lost force from the Era of Blankness, extremely difficult to deal with.”

Ester’s delicate brows tightened even more, as she continued, “This mysterious force, long lost, can render all spells ineffective, including illusions. In other words, no attack spells or confinement spells can harm the opponent in the slightest.”

“There is such unreasonable power?”

Ariel Watson heard this, and thoughtfully nodded, saying, “No wonder the opponent could carve a large hole in the Illusionary Barrier designed by the Illusion Spirit Race, then stealthily lead away 15 main corps.”

Hearing Ester and Ariel Watson’s discussion, all the people present also furrowed their brows tightly.

Undeniably, this is indeed an extremely troublesome force, worthy of being called a mage killer. If many strong individuals in the opponent’s camp mastered this force, it would be extremely disadvantageous to us.

“Your Majesty the Rose King, as light must cast shadows, if this lost force is so remarkable, there must be corresponding weaknesses, right?”

Leo Ray pondered slightly, then asked again.

“Correct, Anti-Magic Power can easily dissolve any magic power equivalent to or below its own strength. As for powers stronger than itself, it cannot completely nullify.”

Ester nodded slightly to confirm, responding, “This is why the opponent only managed to open a large hole in the Illusionary Barrier rather than completely dispelling it.”

“Understood, the No. 1 Black-robed Person?”

Leo Ray lightly tapped his fingers on the table, frowning and saying, “First there’s the strange forbidden technique of group mutation, then the Anti-Magic Power. It seems the Temple of Light indeed always brings us some unexpected troubles.”

After saying this, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and asked Ester once more, “Your Majesty the Rose King, is there any other information regarding this mysterious Anti-Magic Power?”

“To be honest, Your Royal Highness Prince, this long-lost force is extremely mysterious, and I only happened upon some superficial understanding, without much research. After all, since the Era of Blankness, it has nearly disappeared in the tides of history.”

Ester shrugged helplessly, responding, “But certainly, it represents a sinister and evil forbidden technique, even causing great harm to the caster themselves.”

“A forbidden technique representing sinister and evil? It even causes great harm to oneself.”

Ariel Watson recalled the scene of the reckless Nightmare Knight, frowning and saying, “Didn’t expect under the vast shadow of the Temple of Light, there would be so much profound darkness hidden.”

“Actually, this is not difficult to understand. Since the founding of the Temple of Light, it has taken the mission of worshiping the Holy Light and opposing darkness. After centuries of battles and sediment, naturally it is the one that understands darkness best.”

Sofia sighed slightly, her dark brows drooping as she said, “The fall of the Temple of Light may be even darker than darkness itself.”

“You gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you. Is this the so-called Dragon Slayer ultimately turning into the Evil Dragon?”

Leo Ray thoughtfully lamented, then comforted Sofia, “Your Majesty the Holy Queen need not be overly sentimental. Based on the current situation, the Temple of Light hasn’t completely fallen; quite a number of priests are still in the dark.”

“Please, Your Royal Highness Prince, do not concern yourself with my feelings. Although I originated from the Temple of Light, I understand better that the blood of the Ancestral Hero King flows through my veins, destined to guard the Coldflame Kingdom.”

Queen Sofia’s crown glistened brightly as she nodded firmly to Leo Ray and said, “If needed, I will not hesitate to destroy the Temple of Light, without a shred of hesitation.”

“Ancestor Sofia spoke rightly. Even if it’s the Temple of Light, the wrath of the Lion King’s fire will not spare any scoundrel who tramples upon this land!”

With eyebrows raised and blowing fiercely, Alfred agreed, “Young Holy Lion Prince, if there are tasks, just instruct us. Although you are the protagonists of this New Era, we, the old veterans of the old era, will also go all out.”

The Lion Roar King finished speaking and other heroic spirits also nodded in agreement.

“I’ve felt the battle intent of your Excellencies and Majesties.”

Leo Ray’s gaze moved, sweeping across the heroic spirits, and he said seriously, “Rest assured, I will repay a hundredfold the blood debts owed by the opponents on this land.”

As the atmosphere within the hall surged with enthusiasm, Ariel Watson, amidst excitement, suddenly asked doubtfully, “Speaking of which, could the No. 1 Black-robed Person be Gannon the Ninth himself?”

“From current clues, the newly emerged No. 1 Black-robed Person not only utilizes Anti-Magic Power, but his illusion abilities are quite impressive.”

Leo Ray gently rubbed his chin, pondering, “However, judging by the whole truth of No. 2 Black-robed Person being Sevyn, the Chief Bishop of Coldflame, I think it’s unlikely for Gannon the Ninth, the Pope, to personally step onto the stage.”

“Your Royal Highness Prince’s viewpoint is agreeable to me. The Temple of Light dispatched Chief Bishops to various Human clans, holding positions equivalent to the Cardinals in the central hall, totaling 16 people. The Pope, above them, is a far more transcendent figure, difficult to meet even for most Cardinals, which speaks volumes.”

Sofia nodded thoughtfully, agreeing, “In the era I lived in, excluding the newly established Orchid Federation, the configuration of Human various countries hasn’t changed much. I imagine the strong individuals in the Temple of Light won’t differ greatly either.”

After Sofia finished speaking, Joshua, who knew the current situation of the Temple of Light best, also nodded in agreement.

Though, even as someone within the Temple of Light, renowned as a standout young priest, she knew merely this much.

After all, only the most devout ecclesiastics devoted to serving the Temple of Light for life gain access to the Temple’s core secrets, which naturally include configurations of strength.

“Gentlemen and ladies, taking advantage of this moment, I will share all the enemy information we currently possess.”

Upon Leo Ray speaking, he detailed the incidents of dealing recurrently with the Black Abyss Brotherhood, as well as matters regarding the Brotherhood’s “Divine Plan,” “Retrograde Ritual,” and “Apostles of the Reverse.”
