Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

"Stop talking?" Hex smiled.

"Even a liar like Calodos is afraid of people telling the truth?"

"I still have many unpleasant memories of your past here."

"Should I recount these things one by one to the esteemed Liar, the Great Demon?"

Hextech knows all this because Kalodos is the most prominent archmage, often appearing in inexplicable places, and these experiences are all recounted by Kalodos himself in the game.

Players also like to use memes; this demon, who is known for his cunning and love of playing Truth or Dare, has too many memes associated with him.

What kind of top strategist is this, who can see through the will of Heaven during the invasion of Hell?

What a story of someone who fell in love online with a beautiful woman, only to find out in person that she's a cute girl with a huge penis.

Calodos was furious.

Hextech was talking about its most shameful and least desirable past. As a demon whose life cannot be described in units like years, it doesn't really care about many things, but a demon's face is definitely what it cares about most.

"I will tear your soul out and crush it inch by inch."

"I'll search through every second of your memory to see who's behind you!"

Hextech glanced at the scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Ahead, Aida, Benev, and Joanna are on the verge of collapse.

A dozen or so controlled Crusader and enhanced soldier corpse puppets, feeling no pain or fear, were fearless in the face of death.

The three of them already had several wounds and were in grave danger.

Cardolos was clearly enraged; the holy chains that bound him were breaking one by one, and were obviously about to break free.

Once they escape, Hextech will obviously have attracted all the hatred and will definitely be dealt with immediately.

Just as Hex was contemplating whether to gamble on body tempering, a boundless and breathtaking holy power suddenly burst into flames behind him.

Hextech suddenly turned around.

Before Inessa's chest, a ball of golden-white holy flame surged violently, and a huge sword hilt slowly condensed from the flame.

To be honest, he had seen countless animations of the Guardian's Blessing Artifact awakening in the game.

But when this scene actually happened in real life, he was still deeply shocked.

Those special effects that originally only existed in the card illustrations to highlight the characters have now transformed into real divine power, causing the hellish atmosphere of the entire underground space to recede continuously.

The sacred objects that are kept are not ordinary things.

These are weapons used by saints, legendary heroes, and even popes throughout history who have slain demons and participated in holy wars. Some of them can be traced back to weapons once used by angels.

Because these weapons contain the power of living saints, they are like radiation sources. Anyone who comes into contact with them for too long will suffer physical collapse and death. Therefore, no one can use them for a long time. They are usually sealed in the church's sealing chamber. Only the most devout monks can use their own will as a guide to forcibly pry open the power and briefly summon them to the mortal world.

In the game mechanics, this is the ultimate move that can only be activated once per game. It is the player's last trump card and is also the extra pay-to-win element that has been criticized as resembling a browser game.

This sacred artifact is the sword of Lionheart, the sword of eternal and distant victory.

Legend has it that Lionheart wielded King Arthur's sword.

Kalodos stared at the giant sword, his bat-like head slightly raised. Instead of flying into a rage, he let out a low, eerie laugh.

"Horus, now I finally understand why you were so certain that the nun's summoned sacred artifact could subdue me."

"Because you know my real name, my past, and my weaknesses."

"This sword, once in the hands of Richard the Lionheart, once pierced through my wing."

The last few dark gold chains binding him had broken down to just one.

"Come, little nun, use this to send me back to hell."

"Anyway, I've already had my fill of delicious souls on this trip..." it chuckled strangely.

Extremely pleased with himself.

After all, it's just a projection; destroying the projection has no effect on the main body.

Inessa was unaffected and chanted fervently.

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit—"

"The sword of eternal and distant victory!"

"End the filth!"

She gave a soft shout, and the greatsword in front of her chest spun rapidly, transforming into a golden streak of light that pierced through the darkness, heading straight for Calodos in the sky.

The instant the sword light pierced the air, Hextech faintly heard a grand hymn.

It was as if a majestic and imposing saintly figure stood with a sword in hand, roaring angrily at the boundless demonic tide.

"Since I have taken possession of the sacred object, I will fight to the very last moment."

"To live, to protect humanity."

"To die is to return to the divine court."

The barrier of reality was suddenly shattered by the crisp sound of holy power tearing it apart.

The intense light swept through the entire cave, so blinding that people had to close their eyes.

The holy impact, like light pollution, is very similar to the special effects of an ultimate move in a game.

A piercingly sharp shriek was then swallowed up by the light.

When the light fades.

The eerie blue flames in the eyes of the corpse puppets on the ground were completely extinguished.

The enormous bat demon in the sky, along with its domain, vanished without a trace.

Everything seemed to have truly come to an end.

Joanna gasped for breath as she wiped the blood from her face.

Benev was pale and leaned against the rock wall, looking disheveled.

Ada gazed at the corpses of the enhanced soldiers lying on the ground and sighed softly.

Even the most powerful humans are nothing more than puppets that can be easily manipulated by demons.

After Inessa finished slaying the holy artifact, her body swayed violently, all her holy power drained away instantly, and she fell forward uncontrollably.

Hextech reacted quickly and caught her.

The girl's face was as pale as paper, she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, and her whole body was frighteningly hot.

Summoning a Guardian Relic is a gamble with one's life for every summoner.

"I... must return the sacred artifact to the sealing chamber..." Inessa said weakly.

"Its power is too great; I cannot withstand it..."

The sacred artifacts that are protected by blessings have powerful radiation, and even clergy who have inherited the sacred talisman cannot possess them indefinitely.

Emily emerged from the corner, her face still pale, and glanced around with lingering fear: "Get out of here quickly."

"I feel like the aura of hell hasn't dissipated yet; if I stay any longer, something bad will happen."

"Moreover, we've made too much of a commotion, and the cultists might find out about it."

Ida, Benev, and Joanna also gathered together, supporting each other.

"We must regroup immediately and head to the next altar," Ada said in a deep voice, taking the lead in preparing her equipment and walking towards the cave entrance.

Joanna stepped forward, took Inessa from Hex's arms, and carefully picked her up.

"No mortal shall be allowed to touch the descendants of saints."

The Lionheart sword slowly fell, stopping beside Inessa, waiting to be retrieved.

Just before Inessa was about to grasp the hilt of the sword—

Hextech suddenly spoke up: "Wait."

He grabbed Inessa's wrist and stopped her.

Everyone turned to look at him instantly.

Hextech stared at the slowly descending holy sword, then swept his gaze across the faces of everyone present.

"It's not over yet," he said.
