His expression harbored a deep compassion for the world, but the words that flowed from his lips sent shivers down one's spine.Hudson, the patriarch of the Saunders family, stared as a figure materialized from the glowing white light. As the image became clear, Hudson's face drained of color, his eyes reflecting pure terror.The Prince, too, focused his gaze, analyzing the newcomer.Emerging was a tall, statuesque man, draped in a white robe reminiscent of a priest. He was cradling a weighty tome in his hands.The gentle, benign smile that played on his lips would have made anyone feel instantly at ease.However, the Prince was not just anyone. Not only did he reign over San Hanna, but he was also a seasoned warlord. Recognizing the unique aura that radiated from the man, the Prince instinctively felt this was not an ordinary encounter.What unnerved him the most was the subtle chill that lurked beneath the man's warm demeanor, a coldness that made the Prince's skin prickle.Th

"You dare kidnap my student, yet you remain ignorant of my identity?"At the sound of Fred's voice, Archbishop Chalice's face tightened with concern.In a heartbeat, his expression of worry morphed into one of sheer terror.Fred had left him utterly flabbergasted.For one, Chalice was not like the cloaked man. He was the bishop sent by the Ability Alliance to whisk Rita away. He was well aware that she was the prodigy of the revered master. He had taken comfort in the fact that the Ability Alliance had dispatched the cloaked man to distract this master, allowing him to pray in peace at Saunders' place. Although he did not know the master's face, he knew he was young and bore the name Hoffman.Now, realization struck."You... You're Mr. Hoffman? The Revered Great One?" Archbishop Chalice's voice quivered.Fred smirked. "Recognized me at last? What's your next move?"Next move? What could Chalice possibly do?He was not like the cloaked man who had just taken control of the Abil

"Great One, we've scoured every inch of the Saunders' mansion, but Rita's nowhere to be found!"Ten minutes later, Halbert, Aeon, and Carver were on their knees before Fred, their faces filled with regret.Fred's expression darkened upon hearing their words.Clearly, their worst fears were being realized.Earlier, Fred had held back from confronting the Saunders and Archbishop Chalice, waiting for Halbert and his team to use the standoff as a chance to sneak into the Saunders' home in search of Rita.Now, their return without Rita indicated a troubling possibility.Rita might have already been moved by Archbishop Chalice before Fred even got there. She could be en route to the Holy Kingdom of Tigan now.The Prince, sensing the gravity of the situation, asked, "Great One, what makes Rita so special that the head of Ability Alliance, the very Holy King of Tigan, would risk angering you to take her?"Halbert, Aeon, and Carver exchanged puzzled glances.After all, Fred was a livin

Reappearance of The Twelve Apostles of the Lord on Earth!The Ability Alliance would be able to conquer the world!After hearing the words of Holy King Charles II, even Cardinal Ariel could not help but feel excited.If all these would come to pass, it would not just give the Alliance a prominent reputation, but also grant them immeasurable benefits!Cardinal Ariel said, "If the Twelve Apostles reappear, how would they compare to the Great One?""Compare to the Great One? Haha!"Charles II sneered. "No matter how strong the Great One is, he is just running rampant in today's world! Each of the Twelve Apostles were powerful ancient warlords. The Great One is nothing compared to them!"I think you should be fairly familiar with everything about the Ability Alliance. You know about ​​the Ancient Warlords’ powers, don't you?"With those words, the concern in Cardinal Ariel’s heart dissipated. He bowed slightly to Charles II and said, "In that case, everything will be done in accord

The Great One arrived!The expressions of all the high-ranking leaders present, including Cardinal Ariel, changed instantly when they heard Fred’s angry shout.It was the living legend, the Great One!They were completely shocked!If Charles II had not suggested that sacrificing Rita would allow the Twelve Apostles to reappear in the world, they would never dare to provoke Fred, the Great One!The sacrificial ceremony had just begun while Fred arrived at this moment. How could they not panic? How could they not be afraid?"Your Holy Highness, the Great One has arrived. What should we do?"Cardinal Ariel’s status was second only to Charles II. He took one look at the current situation and immediately hurried over to Charles II with an urgent whisper.He was whispering because the Ability Users present, including many Ability Mavens, had been indoctrinated that the Ability Alliance was truly invincible. They were made to believe that the Great One was just a secular worthless no
