[At the New Headquarters]

[Saint Louis point of view]

With Charlotte proposing her theory on the true identity of the Holy Beast of Wind, even went as far as proposing an experiment that wind user can use to validate the theory, and those able to use wind magic performing the same experiment again and again, getting the same consistent results, I ask the boys group of the ten heroes, The S rank adventure, Blade of Wind, Samurai Jacks as well as Kana and Birdie to accompany them, do what they wanted to do as quickly as they could and rush here back as soon as they're finish

As for Saintess Rumia

(Dear Goddess Achalasia...) [Rumia]

She's unique. It's as if, she's Goddess Achalasia vassal in this world. Whatever she could truly desire, the goddess can grant her exactly that. Should she wanted the world, I can imagine Goddess Achalasia giving her just that, but I'm sure the whole reason as to why she's chosen, is because

"Please. Protect this land..." [Rumia]

As she continues her chant to fortify the powerful barrier that covers the whole country, to weaken the devil influence inside, I can sense nothing but sincerest thought and prayer from her. Of course, all she has to do is pray and ask, and it will be granted, but that isn't who Rumia is

Rumia, even when the goddess can give her the whole world for her, strive to do things through her own power. Even when her status is clearly superior than that of the other, she's humble enough to even bow to an elderly out of respect. Even when she's clearly the goddess favourite daughter, she wish nothing but for the same love to be given to other.

(I'm glad... I'm glad that I am able to support her) [Saint Louis]

Me, someone with a tainted past. A monster that kills other just to fills the stomach of my innocent siblings. A monster that work as the master of the dark guild in the past, killing knights, nobles, royalty alikes. Auctioning elves and slaves to rebuild back this country. Taking this persona of mine, "Saint Louis" to lead the masses while massacring those very same dark guild members that tirelessly working to rebuild back this country...

"O Saint Louis?" [Archbishop]

Stepping into the altar, I channel my mana into the barrier that Rumia will fortify. I'm glad, even someone like me, can be of used to her. I have no doubts, should the ten heroes prevail, they, alongside Ash, Princess Diana and Rumia, will one day bring the a whole foundation to the world. Just like how the first saint and saintess, Vincent and Maria did

In an ironic twist of fate, the legacy of the first saint and saintess, will most likely be destroy after the war. No. Not most likely, it has to be destroy, and since I am "officially" death in the eye of the public, I should make sure the old follower teaching will be there no more after the fight with the fallen god. It's a shame, that the true teaching of the first saint and saintess will then be destroy, but if Saint Vincent and Saintess Maria are here with us, I'm sure they will cry bucket, seeing their teaching turning into tool of corruption, racism and something that separates people instead of uniting people

"Ugh... The amount of mana... simply phenomenal

..." [Seraph]

Seeing as how Seraph is flying through the sky, using his unique flute weapon that can transform into any musical instruments (thanks to the ancient Dwarf racial magic), I simply signal to him, sorry and do your best as I will keep on increasing my mana. Even Rumia herself will most likely keep ongoing until every last bit of her mana wring dry. Seeing my signal, he let out a laughing sigh, and make a thumb up, telling us to keep going strong, as he will push his limit to distribute the holy mana of Saintess Rumia and I throughout the barrier, making sure that the barrier will be fortify everywhere, and ensuring there will be no unnecessary leakage of mana that can weaken the defence of the barrier

"By the name of our merciful Goddess, Goddess Achalasia, with the barrier that will protect those inside of it, I Saintess Rumia, call forth of you, Ultima Iero Fragma!" [Rumia]

She, after completing the long prayer and chant, started to channel her mana in a sudden outburst. Her holy mana, it's different from Seraph and I. Something about it, just feels different, as in, it's otherworldly.

The barrier, which was barely visible just now, shine brightly for few seconds, making the evacuating citizen stop for a moment to appreciate it. It's gorgeous, and just by looking at it, they feel even safer, as they automatically know the person responsible for it

"Saintess Rumia... Warm"

"True. Thank goodness for her"

"Still... something about this feel, nostalgic?"

"I know, like, I can sense a familiar mana as well"

I sure hopes they're referring to the goddess, not mine. Speaking of the evacuating citizen, they're being guided by knights and adventure alikes, into the evacuation hall that was prepared inside of the castle. The one leading them is none other than

"Make sure to get in the line! Don't worry about leaving anything of valuable behind! Your safety is your number one priority!" [Gilbert]

"Please, this way!" [Seo Ah]

"If you need any help, please let us know" [Alicia]

"All of us can help!" [Kanji]

"Giants will pay their gratitude back!"

Looks like everything is going rather smoothly. In fact, I have to said, it's too smoothly. This is suppose to be the perfect timing to launch their attacks, but they didn't, could it mean...

(I see. Either...) [Saint Louis]

A) She will wait for the citizen to evacuate, and start launching a concentrated attack into the citizen

or

B) Saintess Angela will show the citizen despair, by killing us all, before proceeding to wipe them out

Knowing Angela, she will most likely go for the later, in which case

"Look at the watcher!"

"It's suddenly becoming bigger!"

"And isn't that!"

"Mr Filvisar mentioned this before, how hundred years back, they manipulated the watcher to their liking..." [Rumia]

So, it begins, right when the last person enter the evacuation hall

"Good evening, all of you..." [Angela]
