Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

"Has Hesintos decided to become the Emperor of the Empire?"

Abigail exclaimed in shock.

"The coronation ceremony for Hesintos might be set for three days from now, to be completed as soon as possible. This was the result of internal discussions among us, the War Gods. He hesitated a bit at first but eventually agreed. Now that I hear from you, Alexia, it's likely he planned everything out."

Julius had already returned to his residence. After tonight's turmoil, he was quite exhausted. The only certainty was that he was in a secure location communicating with Silvermoon Reform Association through encrypted Sacred Communication Magic.

"As for wanting me to help you stop him, there's basically no hope. His recovery speed is astonishingly quick, beyond what we at our level can harm. On the day of the coronation ceremony, all ten of us War Gods will protect him, and right now, except for me, all the other War Gods completely trust Hesintos."

Julius was relaying internal intelligence from the Divine Descendant Hall to them on the other end of the communication.

Everyone's hearts felt as if they were struck again by a falling stone with no echo in return.

"I can provide you with some information regarding the identification result of the Seross Spirit Sword."

Julius continued.

When Hesintos was being treated, the War Gods surrounding him finally had the opportunity to witness the full splendor of this Divine Sword and observe its true attributes.

Julius conveyed his identification results to the people at the Brielda Opera House base through the Sacred Communication program.

[Seross Spirit Sword]

[Category: Magic Device]

[Grade: Red Legend]

[Attribute: Enhancement/Counter]

[Rank: 8]

[Effect: Only the descendants of the Seross Empire Royal Family can use it. It can summon the Seross Spirits to greatly enhance all basic attributes of the user. When attacking targets with a lower imperial rank, Seross Spirits will largely suppress and gain special attacks. It increases suppression and special attacks against beings who believe in deities of an evil alignment.]

[Remark: Forge the shield of the Empire with blood, awaken the Gate of Dawn with the soul, the Seross Spirits forever persist.]

Seeing the glowing text emerging from the translucent pink communication card in Alexia's hand, the gaze of the others became even more powerless.

"The meaning of this imperial rank, I guess, is that the damage is highest against commoners, reduces slightly against a Baron, reduces further against a Viscount, and the special attack isn't as forceful against a Duke, but still has a special attack capability."

Alexia is someone who can resonate with the Seross Spirit Sword among the Empire's Protecting Magic Devices. The spirits of her ancestors can shield her from evil spirits, and correspondingly, she can detect the existence of some malicious beings that ordinary people cannot perceive.

An accidental contact with Emperor Saint Baldo's ceremonial sword once allowed her to inadvertently see that there were red shadows of evil lurking around the Imperial Palace, making her slowly realize that the fate of the Cerryti Empire rested upon her shoulders.

Even Barton, the former head of the Imperial Guards, rarely had the chance to see Emperor Saint Baldo's ceremonial sword up close, let alone dared to identify it. There is also no detailed record about this sword in historical archives.

It not only grants the Swordmaster numerous blessings but also significantly enhances them. The ancient emperor, at the peak of the Eighth-order during the Holy War Era, wielded it and managed to contend fiercely with the Ninth-order Great Demon Clan.

Now, they finally discerned the true effect of this sword.

"No wonder this sword can resist evil spirits."

Barton muttered.

This Red Legend weapon is purely strong; picking it up significantly enhances its wielder, having an additional special attack on subjects, and a third effect against evil beings.

Rashar, the Third Ancestor, suffered through all three levels of enhancement from this Divine Sword.

"Damn, if he attacks me, wouldn't I be instantly defeated?"

Tolyado, upon seeing the real information about this sword, realized its threat.

"Goddess of Destiny, I'm your follower."

Tolyado hurriedly prayed as if clutching the feet of the Goddess of Destiny in a moment of desperation.

"Alas."

Talia shook her head straightforwardly.

Even under the current circumstances, Tolyado's mental state was commendable.

She took a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth.

At this moment, only a sense of fullness could bring her a bit of comfort.

"Is there really no hope?"

Sigrid said somewhat irritably, clenching her fists with fury and then releasing them as if deflated.

She had endured many a desperate situation, but she had never felt so stifled as having no hope even before the fight began, having to retreat.

Right now, indeed, they lacked morale and strength.

Moreover, she trusted Lanci's judgment. If Lanci said they could fight, she would go forth even unto death, but if Lanci said they couldn't, she would escape alongside him even if she wished to battle.

"Mr. Julius, we will escort Her Highness, Alexia, to the northern Allied Forces. One day we will return, and when that moment comes, please help us once more; the duty of overcoming hidden dangers falls upon you."

After a long silence, Lanci finally recognized the defeat in the situation.

Everyone's hearts completely sank when they heard Lanci's voice.

Initially facing Rashar, the Third Ancestor, and barely achieving the hard-won victory in Blood Moon City was already strenuous.

Blame it on Hesintos for his deep-seated patience.

Everyone had already given their utmost.

Nobody expected this sudden turn of events.

"I understand."

Julius had always been a steadfast patriot,

"But since you have contact with the Allied Forces… did you know that Loren is still alive?"

Julius did not sever the communication but rather continued speaking to them.
