Chapter 441: Divine Reinforcements
"What is Grandpa\'s reply, Ella?" Elysia glanced at Ella\'s golden talisman curiously.
"This is weird, grandfather didn\'t respond to my messages." Ella shook her head.
*Boom!*
At that moment, a violent explosion rang out from outside. Even though it was a private area with special protection, it was not an effective soundproof shield.
"Huh? An explosion? It sounded so close. Or maybe, could it be-" Evelyn covered her mouth as she remembered the evil organization that caused the emergency regulation.
Nell used her magic vision to check out only to witness a bloodbath outside the Holy Cathedral. She frowned upon seeing the black-red aura devil who was facing Alexander. "Hm, a battle is going on at the Holy Bridge. I\'ll go there."
"Allow me to come with you."
"Me too."
Lucia and Ella immediately asked to come along. They were both feeling worried and restless.
"No, you all stay here. The devil that Alexander faced is at the Emperor-level. Apart from the danger, you will only hinder the others." Nell gave a flat refusal because it was dangerous.
"But, but!" Ella wanted to voice her protest, but she didn\'t dare go against her Goddess\' orders. Her gaze was somehow drawn to Elysia and then to the Baby Goddess.
"Alright, we\'ll go there. However, listen to what I have to say and don\'t get involved in any clashes. The Goddess of Blessings will sort things out easily and quickly. Got it?" Elysia reminded with a resolute expression. She didn\'t take no for an answer.
"Ah, um, fine." Ella nodded in relief. She could only hope that her grandfather would be okay.
After everyone nodded in response to Elysia\'s statement, Nell could no longer stop anyone from leaving. Therefore, she just tolerated it. "Alright then, let\'s go and sort things out out there."
After saying that, Nell flew flying towards the exit and everyone followed her from behind.
Meanwhile, the battle over the Holy Bridge was becoming increasingly heated and fierce. Not figuratively, but truly became hot from the clash between dark magic and holy magic.
"Hahaha! Is that all you\'re capable of, Alexander? You\'ve become too old to live, weak. Why don\'t you just sleep three feet underground?" The Emperor-level devil slashed her greatsword into Alexander\'s barrier. It cracked, and she managed to send him flying a few meters back.
"Hmph! You\'re an Emperor-level devil spirit who possessed the remains of an innocent human girl. I don\'t know why your aura of hatred is so intense, but I will put the end of you here and forever. The divine punishment will come to you and hell is the sole destination. who will be waiting for you." Alexander repaired his barrier with just a flick of his hand.
He glanced around briefly. The two holy knight generals were there to lead the counterattack. Therefore, he no longer needed to pay attention to anything other than the mysterious Emperor-level devil in front of him.
"Kekeke... This is all because of you and your hypocrisy, hypocrite. To avenge my family, I don\'t care about anything anymore, you will die right here and right now by my hands." The Emperor-level devil\'s voice suddenly turned a little heavy. It was no longer a girl\'s voice.
Then, she raised her greatsword high and swung it horizontally with both hands. A red-black light enveloped her and her weapon. "Dark Sprit Slash!"
"Holy Light, Holy Seal!" Alexander pointed his staff at his enemy. A golden magic circle with a reddish aura within a diameter of twenty meters enveloped the Emperor-level devil.
*Bam!*
The destructive power of the dark energy was reflected and turned to attack the attacker.
"Lend your grace, o divine power. Help us to eradicate evil. Holy Light, Holy Judgment!" Alexander launched his follow-up attack without waiting for anything. A large golden-red magic circle appeared in front of him.
Then, an extremely hot golden light shot out like a tornado. It was amplified when it came into contact with the Holy Seal to create a more powerful and concentrated destructive force.
*Boom!*
A violent crushing force shattered the Holy Seal. The destructive power continued to blow anything up to two hundred meters away.
Several elite devils were wiped out because of the impact, but none of the holy knights was caught in that attack because they managed to dodge in time.
A thick cloud of dust blocked the view, but Alexander just stood in silence to stare at his opponent\'s shadow.
"You think an attack like that will topple me? What a shame." The Emperor-level devil muttered in a cloud of dust. But, she felt a thump in her heart. "It\'s almost time, huh... Today should be the end of where I will erase the holy city from this world, but it seems I can only erase the Holy Cathedral from history."
After saying that, she immediately prepared her strongest magic and shot like a lightning bolt towards her opponent. A plume of black corrosive mist enveloped and damaged anything she crossed.
However, at that moment, she slowed down because she saw a group of girls who had just come out of the Holy Cathedral. Her focus was fixed on her enemy\'s family and simply ignored the others.
"Hahaha! What would happen if I killed your most precious treasure right in front of you! Your daughter-in-law and your granddaughter will not escape my judgment either!" The Emperor-level devil laughed heartily and took another path. She shot into the sky as if she was no longer aiming for Alexander.
Alexander\'s eyes widened. He immediately looked back reflexively. Sure enough, his granddaughter and his daughter-in-law were there, but they weren\'t alone either.
Unfortunately, his opponent took advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The Emperor-level devil turned into mist and suddenly appeared before Alexander. "Where do you look when your enemy is right in front of you?"
A swing of a greatsword shrouded with dangerous evil energy smashed into Alexander\'s barrier. It shattered into small pieces instantly, and a fatal strike headed straight for Alexander.
Alexander could only see the pitch-black evil weapon heading straight for his heart. He did his best to create an emergency barrier to protect his vital organs, whether it was too late or not.
"Grandfather!" Ella screamed hysterically to see her grandfather was on the brink of death. Her also mother shrieked with the same cry.
However, Ella couldn\'t do anything but look because Elysia was holding her arm.
"Holy Grandfather!" A holy knight general darted from the side of the bridge. He abandoned his enemy because the Pope\'s safety was a priority, even though his life was at stake.
*Clang*
The black greatsword\'s attack was repelled by the golden longsword.
"Get lost!" The Emperor-level devil used the impact force to make a semicircle counterattack and slashed at the holy knight.
*Slash*
Alexander widened his eyes with a furious expression to see the red blood and pieces of golden armor scattered before his eyes.
"Khak." Patrick spat out a mouthful of blood. His armor shattered like paper, and his stomach was split open.
"Hmph!" The Emperor-level devil thrust her hand forward. SHe wanted to annihilate the holy knight general and the Pope in one strike. "Nero Dark Burst. Perish!"
A pitch-black sun clad in red energy appeared in the palm of the Emperor-level devil. The light intensity dropped drastically as if a bright day had suddenly turned into a dark night.
Just as the laser beam-like attack was launched, a bright golden light shone across the entire Holy Cathedral area. A golden barrier enveloped Alexander and the dying holy knight. It blocked the attack of the high-level dark magic.
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
The dark energy with high destructive power was reflected in various directions. Not all of the deadly force could be blocked by the golden barrier because it was too sudden.
*Rumble* *Rumble*
Half of the Holy Bridge collapsed. Yet, Alexander took the opportunity to strike back even though he didn\'t know who saved him. He just swung his golden staff clad in high-level magic.
He hit the Emperor-level devil\'s face hard with a bonk and sent the devil flying dozens of meters away.
*Thud* *Thud*
The Emperor-level devil bounced and rolled on the ground. Still, she immediately plunged her greatsword into the ground and crouched down. She stared at her opponent with a sharp gaze and scorched face.
"Oh my, that\'s a good blow right to the face. You have no mercy even if your enemy is a girl, Alex. I\'m at a loss whether to compliment you or not."
A golden light shone from above. Alexander looked up with relief and peace. He knew very well the owner of the great and noble voice. Sure enough, it was none other than his Goddess, the Goddess of Blessings.
"Forget your respectful greeting, we have enemies to deal with." Nell floated down and drew near to the dying holy knight. "Your bravery is commendable, holy knight. The current situation does not allow me to heal you, but you will be able to endure this until recovery comes to you."
Nell stretched her arms forward to stop the bleeding to the dying holy knight.
"All hail, Almighty Goddess of Blessings." Patrick muttered in his hoarse voice. Although his vision was blurry, he knew that the one before him was a divine being.
"Please don\'t talk just yet. Recovery will come to you later." After the dying holy knight was no longer bleeding, Nell flew into the air to deal with more pressing matters.
"Ely, why did you hold me back? My grandfather is in danger, and that purple-eyed devil is very dangerous!" Ella conveyed her complaint to the girls who were holding her arm. She brushed off Elysia\'s hand in annoyance as she was being swept away by emotions.
