The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"boom!"

The Eternal City is not at peace today.

Explosions, resembling a terrorist attack, echoed throughout Rome, causing residents and tourists to scream and flee in terror.

Although these explosions miraculously caused no damage, it was obviously impossible to avoid any casualties in such a chaotic situation—but this was nothing to worry about for those who were lawless even in the miniature garden.

As long as no one is directly killed, it does not constitute a violation of the rules.

Of course, this is simply incomprehensible to lawful people.

"Do you guys even know what you're doing?!"

"This is all for His Highness... Lord Ge!"

Asuka roared as she swung down with her divine sword, but the girl who had been standing beside the princess nimbly dodged. At the same time, a stitched monster that looked like a chimera attacked Asuka.

"Well……"

Although Asuka's movements were equally fast, they were clearly not as nimble as the girl's, and she could only retreat backward with excessive force.

Although the disruption of his posture eliminated the possibility of a swift counterattack, his body, which had reached a god-like level over the past few years, was enough to ensure that Asuka could escape danger.

However, the girl had only gestured her hand towards the flying bird...

"Ugh?"

The monster, which was originally some distance away from the bird, suddenly appeared in front of it and swung down with its dragon-like giant claws without the slightest hesitation.

'That guy...'

During the last battle, it was confirmed that the girl seemed to have some kind of ability that would make all attacks miss, but she only showed this one ability. I didn't expect that she was hiding her true strength at the time.

However, now that the second way to use the ability has been revealed, it becomes clear.

Is it a gift of spatial types?

As Asuka pondered, she held her longsword in front of her—the sword's ability to isolate spirits was effective against all who came into contact with it, meaning that she herself could not use her abilities while holding the sword.

We have no choice but to tough it out.

However, just as Asuka was about to grit her teeth and take the hit, a figure appeared beside the monster and kicked the huge monster away.

"Kasukabe-kun!"

Asuka's eyes lit up and her lips curled into a smile, but Kasukabe couldn't manage a genuine laugh.

She squinted at the monster she had just kicked away.

Although I sensed it last time in the Minotaur Labyrinth, I only have the chance to confront that being directly now.

"Why... do you also have a Catalogue of Life?"

Her response was a roar and flames from the monster that had completely transformed into a dragon.

The prince's subordinates who came to launch the attack were clearly determined, and they didn't say a single unnecessary word, either before or after the battle.

"Hey kid over there, are you just standing there waiting to die?"

The one who shouted was Rama, who was fighting the white tiger that Yan and the others had encountered in the first battle.

Upon hearing the sound, Kasukabe quickly reacted, and the staff formed from the necklace spewed out golden flames to counterattack the dragon's fire.

However, she did not unleash the same power she had shown when fighting the three-headed dragon and Gaia's last child.

To avoid an irreversible situation of elimination, both sides tacitly minimized the scale of the battle... however, this also reduced the intensity.

The nameless side was fighting with their hands tied, and in order to deal with the enemy girl's strange defensive ability, Asuka had to use swordsmanship that she had never used before, and Kasukabe could not use her full strength... Although the Life Index could theoretically cope with all battlefield situations, she had generally fought high-intensity, large-scale battles in the past, and it was very difficult for her to switch back to that in a short time.

In conclusion, it will be difficult to end the battle in a short period of time.

Asuka gripped the divine sword, which she found very difficult to use, and gritted her teeth.

'Izayoi-san's younger brother, you can definitely be relied on...'

……

……

Saigo Homura ran quickly alongside the girl in front of him. His body, which had gradually become strange over time, no longer felt tired from this level of exercise.

"We're almost there, please hang in there."

Misia, who was ahead, seemed unaware of this and was still encouraging the boy.

However, Flame was also puzzled by the other party's lack of hesitation.

"Didn't you say you didn't know where the Pope was?"

"That was under normal circumstances... To be honest, I originally wanted to use this method, but the enemy did it for us first."

Misia gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"After all, a great figure like the Patriarch has a solution for dealing with such a crisis."

Of course, there will be more than one such plan, and the specific details will not be disclosed to others. It may also be adjusted temporarily depending on different circumstances.

But for someone like Misia, who is on the mystical side and is also a semi-insider, these variables are all roughly predictable.

She could guess where the Pope would go in this situation.

“───!”

Just then, a flash of light appeared.

"The Decapitated Knight, I've come to avenge you!"

The petite Shen Gongbao wore a berserker-like smile as he faced Hisafuto Ayatori, who had blocked his spear.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and Shen Gongbao, who had just suffered a setback at Cai Niao's hands last time, clearly only had Cai Niao in his eyes.

"That weird little girl isn't here, is she? Well, I'll take care of you now!"

"Well……"

The colorful bird swung its opponent away, creating distance for itself as well.

The one who could best counter Shen Gongbao's arsenal of magical treasures would be Cai Lilinghua, but that girl has little combat experience and is different from Yan Ye, who was designated by Misha. Naturally, she won't be included this time.

However, Ayatsuki is confident that she can solve the current problem without Suzuka.

"Senior!"

"I know, I'll leave this to you."

Flame nodded to the colorful bird without slowing down in the slightest, and then followed Misia forward.

However, by this time, he had no other guards around him.

It's hard to imagine that the opponent would choose the little girl who only has eyes for the colorful birds as the final challenge.

What fighting techniques do you have?

He could only ask Misia questions.

After all, this girl has been running for so long and she doesn't even look red or out of breath...

"If praying to God counts... well, we're pretty close to the church now, aren't we?"

Receiving such a ridiculous answer, Flame's hopes were dashed.

However, he didn't notice the confident smile on Misia's face... nor did he know if the girl's 'prayer' had really worked. The two successfully crossed St. Peter's Square and entered the building at the end—St. Peter's Basilica.

For Flame at this moment, while the magnificent scenery inside the church was admirable, it was not the time to admire it. He quickly surveyed his surroundings.

The place was almost deserted, except for a figure dressed in splendid attire who knelt with his hands clasped in prayer, facing the icon at the deepest part of the church, his back to the two people.

"Holy Throne".

Misia took a few steps forward and spoke softly.

Although she had previously stated that she intended to assassinate him, it was clear that when she actually faced him, she still held a degree of respect for the figure before her.

Even the way they address each other seems to have been elevated.

The figure stood up and slowly turned around.

The next second, the kind-looking old man and Yan made eye contact.

Chapter 827 Flame's Choice

It's a pity, but in modern times, a beautiful young female pope like those in novels is unlikely to ever appear.

—A kind-faced old man.

This is the persona that most popes in modern times would adopt for themselves.

The one in front of Yan was no exception.

The other party didn't seem surprised to see Yan there.

"As for 'worldly' issues, there are more than one way to deal with a nuclear attack. However... when it comes to crises that transcend the world, that is, crises related to the Little Garden, the Holy See has few options left. In other words, this place, filled with the Lord's majesty and based on which many defensive measures have been built, is the best sanctuary when facing the powerful beings of the Little Garden."

Just then, Misia spoke up to explain.

Then, she smiled slightly.

"However, as far as I know, no outsiders should be able to enter this place when the barrier is activated."

The girl's eyes were also fixed on the Pope.

"It seems that the Holy See does not truly intend to escape to the very end."

Hearing Misia's words, Flame understood why she had come here and why no one attacked her on the last stretch of the journey, and her resolve strengthened.

If the girl's implication is correct, then it means that his goal is not without a chance of being achieved.

"..."

The Pope did not immediately respond to Misia's words... or rather, he completely ignored the girl and instead carefully examined Saigo Homura.

His powerful gaze clashed somewhat with his kind persona, even making Yan feel a little pressured.

Fortunately, this didn't last long, and the Pope's gaze softened again.

"You really are a young kid. You can't judge a book by its cover. You must be the developer of the Stellar Particle System, right?"
