Chapter 328: Chapter 72: On Foreign Affairs, On External Matters, On External Matters

The Heavenly Holy Knight named Raphael, whose power was based on *light* and *heat*, as well as the most basic physical attacks, experienced changes in his strength after defecting from Heaven.

But it was still certain that he might be really strong... Even according to Ernie, strength decreased to varying degrees after interdimensional travel.

Yet from Ernie’s situation, he who experienced a more severe decrease in strength than Raphael was probably not an easy opponent either.

Yila judged, standing in this open space far away from the Demon King Territory, waiting for the arrival of this extraordinary being named Raphael... Of course, the best situation would be if communication was possible.

If that were the case, it might avoid a conflict and even gain an additional ally.

Of course, as Ernie mentioned, it might be possible that the two extraordinary beings standing on their side, who never showed themselves, could intercept Raphael from afar.

Unfortunately, as Yila thought this, a powerful aura he couldn’t ignore approached rapidly from the direction of the Beastman Country... Pure and flawless, it was undoubtedly the Heavenly Holy Knight.

"Boom!!!!"

Like a meteor falling from the sky... No, like divine judgment flying from afar, along with a massive roaring sound approaching, making Yila instantly prepare for battle.

"First Wing Pillar·Crimson Dragon·Wing Spread!"

The crimson wings suddenly spread out behind him, and in almost the next instant, that figure was in front of Yila. The man, clad in armor and wielding a great sword made of light, slashed at Yila.

Rapid, yet not completely impossible to react to, the weakening effect brought by interdimensional travel was evident, wasn’t it?

Yila judged this, immediately conjuring flames to defend himself, and said aloud, "Raphael, I am not your enemy, nor am I here to destroy the world! If..."

However, the other party had no intention of listening to Yila.

Moreover, the seemingly slow great sword shattered Yila’s fire defense—with no resistance, it passed through the roaring flames and struck Yila hard.

He was sent flying... Although the blade wasn’t sharp, even a large club wielded by an extraordinary being would still possess terrible destructive power.

"Boom!!!!"

With an explosive sound, Yila was swiftly sent flying... Raphael then began his pursuit immediately, keenly sensing the dense crimson mana protecting the part of Yila’s body that was struck.

Dissipating a large portion of the force.

"I know, whether you are chaos, or whether you are an enemy."

Raphael answered simply, raising his great sword and awaiting Yila’s landing spot, the blade concentrating black-and-white light, and as Yila landed, he swung down heavily.

"I will witness with my own eyes!"

In such words, at the moment he was struck away, Yila opened the Wing Shattering mode, his gigantic wings spreading like they could cover the skies, easily allowing his body to turn and avoid a direct hit.

Raphael’s great sword simply struck the ground... Once again, Raphael’s attack was not that fast.

But...

...

The ground, struck, boomed, and with the explosion of black-and-white mana, a massive crack spreading far appeared on the ground, and numerous rays of light shone through countless branches of cracks.

As if something precious underground was gleaming, numerous light beams shot up from the cracks below, followed by another bout of rumbling and collapsing.

Just a single strike...

It created a scene like the end of the world, akin to the war-level magic spell that would take numerous War Mages chanting day and night for a long time... This single strike could destroy a city.

Of course, if ten cities lined up in a row, this single strike could destroy ten cities.

This was impartial annihilation.

...

Although Yila detected something was wrong the moment Raphael’s mana spread to the land, he was still affected by the subsequent explosion and disintegration... The violently bursting black-and-white light engulfed him in midair with its booming sound.

Raphael withdrew his sword, searching for Yila’s location in the dust and debris, tracking Yila’s presence in the overflowing mana... Just as he could sense Yila’s position miles away, it wasn’t a difficult task.

...

*Behind me?!*

Detecting this, Raphael gripped his great sword with both hands, turned, and shattered the flames that filled behind him... But, within the blazing heat, there was nothing but flames.

Yila, further away, shrouded in crimson twilight, hid his presence temporarily, panting and exchanging stares with Raphael... He could easily see the unshakable resolve and killing intent in Raphael’s eyes.

Then, in the next instant, the crimson explosive flames that were shattered began to expand, turning into an explosion filled with destruction, engulfing Raphael and his sword.

There was a massive flash and explosion.

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!"

...

"Huff... Huff... Huff..."

A bit of deception, confirming an answer, but heavily panting, trying to calm his breathing, Yila was in a poor state... He knew the extraordinary was strong, but didn’t expect it to be this strong.

Moreover, he realized that Raphael was different from Ernie... This extraordinary being now with a resolve to kill could not be swayed by mere words.

*Did the previous attack work? No... thinking like that, it surely didn’t work.*

As Yila thought this, the shining great sword descended from the sky, hitting the ground and dispersing the still-booming crimson flames. In the smoke and debris, the clear silhouette of the Heavenly Holy Knight reached out and grasped the long-bladed great sword of light.

"Swoosh~"

With a fierce swing, all the grayish smoke and dust were scattered by Raphael’s empty swing... Now wielded in his hands was a giant sword with a normal hilt, but a blade approximately 200 inches long.

Raphael raised his head, staring at Yila who was prepared to face the incoming attack, lifting the sword vertically to his chest, as if pointing straight to the sky, and softly chanted—

"The gods send angels to save their children, from the four winds, from every corner of the sky, gathering them all!"

"My brothers! Witness, it is the time for me to fulfill my promise!"
