Chapter 717: 715 Post-War (Part 1)_1

Sixth order is the limit of a mortal.

To advance one step further into the seventh order, the Holy Field, the power of a Divine Being is necessary.

In the two-thousand-year-long history of the Glorious Empire, the number of Holy Knights born has never exceeded double digits.

And among these fewer than a hundred Holy Knights, only one progressed further into the eighth order, the realm of legends – the founding emperor-Gana St. Lorenzo.

After him, no one else has become a legendary Holy Knight.

Even the method to ascend into the legendary realm became unknown to future generations.

It seems to be a privilege only for God’s Favored like Emperor Gana. Regardless of how exceptional one’s talent or firm one’s faith, they are destined never to touch the threshold of the legendary realm.

Therefore, the legend eventually transformed into a myth.

The world gradually regarded the Holy Field as the peak of martial arts, an insurmountable barrier.

Until today, the legend reappears!

He, Gana St. Lorenzo, the legendary Holy Knight from a thousand years ago, once again stands in the sky above Huorong City!

The dark night sky is illuminated by the Holy Light surrounding him, all noise, crying and screaming disappear, as if no one dares to be frivolous in front of this legendary Holy Knight.

Looking at the figure of Emperor Gana, Colin’s heart is like a raging sea.

Is that really Emperor Gana?

Wasn’t he supposed to be long dead?

Why would he appear in Huorong City?

Could this also be part of Mr. Ji’s conspiracy?

…

Countless thoughts floated in his mind, but none were clear.

At this moment, he felt as if he was in a vast ocean, covered by a pressure from everywhere that made even the slightest movement extremely difficult.

Such power convinced Colin of the identity of Emperor Gana.

Although this is an absurd guess, besides this historical one and only legendary Holy Knight, probably no one else could exert such massive pressure on Colin now.

Colin swallowed hard, and just wanted to probe whether this legendary Holy Knight was a friend or foe. But the moment he opened his mouth, Emperor Gana’s gaze suddenly darted towards him!

Bang—-

Colin’s mind went blank in an instant, his vision was filled with endless Holy Light, and he couldn’t see anything else.

He only felt an invincible terrifying force suddenly assaulting him. Regardless of how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free from the bondage and could only stand stupidly on the spot.

Ding.

The terrifying force suddenly vanished, turning into a wind that blew Colin’s disheveled hair.

He blinked and finally saw everything clearly.

Without knowing when, Emperor Gana had already come close to him, with a sword made of Holy Light beams pointing at his chest–

More precisely, the Mistletoe on his chest.

The Mistletoe emitted a crystal green light, reflected in Emperor Gana’s golden eyes, creating a sense of confusion in his originally emotionless and rational eyes–

As if he was pondering something.

…

Finally, Knight Sinag recovered from his palpitations just now.

Because he’s too far away, he couldn’t see the face of the figure that suddenly appeared in the sky above Huorong City.

But the terrifying pressure made him feel an uncontrollable sense of submission in his heart.

He immediately thought of the golden horn that Pope Mensai was blowing emphatically just now–could it be related to this?

Knight Sinag suppressed the doubt in his heart and turned his head back to see the dying Pope Mensai.

He was already old, collapsed weakly on the ground, mumbling something.

Knight Sinag stepped forward and heard Mensai gasping out:

“…Kill him…hurry and kill him…”

“Who do you want to kill?” A sense of foreboding rose in Knight Sinag’s heart. He suddenly realized that he might have done something wrong.

Mensai kept repeating “kill him, kill him,” and his expression became more and more agitated. His turbid eyes were filled with more and more disbelief.

Knight Sinag couldn’t get any information by asking, but he also didn’t dare to harm the Pope carelessly. So he ordered the soldiers:

“Pick him up and take him to see the Duke!”

“Yes.”

Four Blood Knight Army soldiers immediately picked up Pope Mensai.

Knight Sinag then picked up the golden horn that had fallen on the ground, examined it for a while, and then hurried towards where Colin was.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard a soldier behind him calling his name:

“Lord Sinag, the Pope, he…”

“What happened?”

Knight Sinag turned his head and saw Pope Mensai shaking more and more violently, as if he was going to faint at any second.

“What’s wrong with him? Quickly put him down.”

After all, the Pope is the leader of the faith in the Glorious Empire and the spokesperson of the Divine Being. Even if the prestige of the Church has been reduced to almost nothing after Colin’s attack, the deep-rooted awe cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, Knight Sinag was indeed worried that the Pope would just die there.

But when the soldiers put Mensai back on the ground, his condition didn’t improve, but continued to worsen.

The convulsions caused by fear and excitement made his frail body curl up into a ball.

Knight Sinag quickly bent down and heard Mensai’s terrified mumbling:

“No…Impossible…It can’t be like this…”

Knight Sinag was about to speak, but he saw Mensai’s eyes suddenly widen and his facial expression froze.

He was startled, and hurriedly checked Mensai’s breathing.

However, he found that the current Pope, was already breathless.

After a moment of brief panic, Knight Sinag calmed down.

He scratched his head, muttered a few words, and finally called the soldiers to lift the Pope’s corpse and follow him to see Duke St. Chapman.

…

Meanwhile, Colin was gaping at the corpse of Emperor Gana.

Yes, the resurrected Emperor Gana is dead again.

Perhaps, Emperor Gana was never resurrected before. He was only driven by a magical force to attack him.

Only at the last moment did he suddenly stop for some reason.

Colin bent down and delicately touched Emperor Gana’s chest, finding that the corpse still had some residual heat. If not for the absence of a heartbeat, he might have thought that Emperor Gana was just asleep.

Just then, a series of footsteps from behind interrupted Colin’s thoughts.

“Your Grace! We caught Pope Mensai, but…”

Colin turned around and looked at Knight Sinag, and the corpse held up by a group of soldiers behind him.

“Did he die?”

“Yes.” Knight Sinag nodded a little shamefully, “I’m sorry, Your Grace, the whole thing is just too strange, I…”

Colin walked up to the remains of Mensai and said,

“It’s okay, just tell me everything that happened.”
