Chapter 80: Chapter 80 I’m Coming to Kill You
After bidding farewell to his mentor Constant, Lette slowly approached the inner side of the gates of the Pope Palace.
He gently pushed open the door, and the fully armed Vanessa, along with the watchful Galado, stood beneath the layers of steps.
It’s unclear who issued the order, but the area around the Pope Palace had been completely cleared, and even the nearby Red Robed Holy Hall was empty.
Lette looked down at them from a high vantage point, revealing a smile.
"Vanessa, I’ve come to kill you."
"It should be you who disappears."
Lette walked down the stairs, asking with a faint smile, "According to your agreement with those Truth Remnants, you were supposed to assassinate the Pope."
"I was waiting for you."
Vanessa placed one hand on the hilt of the longsword at her waist: "Those fools have no understanding of the real issue.
I never intended to assassinate the Pope, nor to overthrow the Church.
From the beginning to the end, the one I wanted to eliminate was only you."
"Because four years ago, I exiled you?"
As Lette spoke, he had already walked up to Vanessa: "You really hold a grudge."
"No! Because of many things! The main reason is that three years ago, on the last Holy Presence Day, you killed three envoys from different countries despite the Goddess’s objection! Along with hundreds of related people!"
"They deserved to die."
"The Lady Goddess had already pardoned them."
"Yes, pardoning them is the work of the Goddess, while my job is to send them to meet the Goddess.
The customers were very satisfied, and their emotions were very stable. Although they didn’t give a five-star rating, we haven’t received any complaint letters yet."
As Lette spoke, he walked past Vanessa, continuing down the steps.
"Come down, let’s fight on the road. The stairs in front of the Pope Palace are made of exquisite marble; if they’re damaged, the repair costs would make my teacher faint from crying."
Vanessa stood still: "Church Authority can’t restrain you! Imperial Authority can’t restrain you! Divine Authority can’t restrain you!
In this world, there’s almost nothing that can bind you.
Five years ago, you suddenly appeared in the Holy City!
Within less than half a year, your strength had equaled that of the teacher.
In a year’s time, the entire Church Order and even the Church itself bowed before you without exception!
In that same year, you exiled me. But at that time, I still believed that between you and me, it was just different views of the world without irreconcilable issues.
Until the Blood colored Holy Arrival Day."
Vanessa drew her longsword, pointing it at Lette, who had already reached the road, her face full of apprehension.
"Lette, you’re right. Whether it’s the professors of Imperial Authority or those who teach Church Authority, it’s just a difference in political systems.
Because above Imperial and Church Authority, there exists the absolute power of Divine Authority!
But you!
Even Divine Authority cannot restrain you! You are an anomaly in this world!
You, in fact, pose the same threat to the world as the Tower of Truth does.
The only difference is, the Tower of Truth is a group of stubborn and wantonly reckless madmen! While you, for now, seem communicable and still stand with the Holy Light.
But Lette, what if one day you change? What if you become even crazier than those madmen of the Tower of Truth?
Lette, you are the future hidden danger of this world!"
Lette looked disdainful: "You, a double evil-doer of feudalism and superstition, saying this to me, a good young man of the new era?
Is this your reason for wanting to kill me?
Are you Imperial Families all fond of such groundless clownish tactics?
Anything uncontrollable, destroy it regardless of right or wrong. Truly worthy of the Gun Knight Princess of the First Empire.
I haven’t even declared your crimes, yet here you are, ready to judge me."
Lette’s eyes grew cold: "Who do you think you are? The Guardian of the world? Your sense of self-importance is quite excessive, isn’t it?
All that grand talk, yet you’re no more than a cohort of inhumane terrorists."
"Using heretical forces against heretics! That is also a kind of..."
"A kind of balance technique, right? Strict with others, lenient with oneself—none do it better."
Lette waved his hand dismissively, then ruthlessly pierced through Vanessa’s hypocritical facade.
"Alright, you like to chat, huh? Then let me tell you!
You, as the highest privileged class, are accustomed to enjoying such privileges.
Your lineage is of supreme nobility, your relations are tangled with power.
Not just the Church, even the Goddess sometimes has to give you some face.
In the current game of power, you thrive like a fish in water.
And you clearly understand that your descendants will enjoy the same privileges.
But suddenly! On that day! Someone appeared who could destroy you and your entire class’s privilege system.
You all were immediately panicked and afraid.
Oh, we could be judged and sanctioned just like those lowly commoners.
It turns out, our privileges can no longer serve as our sanctuary.
The law ceased to apply to the nobility.
I became your heartache, your thorn in the eye, a sword of judgement hanging over your heads.
That’s why you were chosen by your class to get rid of me.
Even just defeating me would allow your privilege game to continue on...
Speaking of world, peace, faith, righteousness...
You’re just trying to protect your privileged circle’s interests, stop pretending here."
Lette opened his arms, inviting Vanessa from the steps: "Now, can you come and die?"
Vanessa gritted her teeth, her knuckles turning white from gripping the sword hilt. She wanted to say more but opened her mouth and could not utter a sound.
"Roar!!!"
The Light Holy Dragon Galado, who had been standing by, thought more simply. Seeing Vanessa at a disadvantage, she attacked without hesitation.
This human-formed dragon leapt from the steps, charging straight at Lette’s face.
"Too many flaws."
Lette’s entire body shone with Holy Light, and under the effect of the Holy Healing Technique·Revised, his physical capabilities were greatly enhanced.
With a sidestep, he dodged the attack and followed up by kneeing the Dragon Lady in the stomach, then taking a step forward to crash her away.
The Dragon Lady Galado struck the ground like a cannonball but quickly got up, brushing off the dust as if nothing happened.
"Not bad, even if it’s patched together, the strength of the flesh is commendable."
As he spoke, Vanessa had already gathered Holy Light Fighting Spirit, charging with her longsword to slay Lette’s neck.
But Lette crouched, moved in front of the Princess, and landed a punch on her face. Then, in a follow-up, used Sky Dragon Fist to knock her into the air.
As Lette prepared to pursue in the air, the Dragon Lady flew in to hinder his attack.
After the initial contact, both parties quickly distanced themselves. Despite facing two opponents, Lette firmly held the upper hand whether in debate or combat.
"Hmph, ordinary."
Lette crooked his finger: "Come on, after preparing for so long, show all your tricks."
"Roar!!!"
Galado immediately roared furiously, her body quickly expanding, transforming into a Light Giant Dragon in the blink of an eye. Vanessa also jumped onto the dragon’s back, both enveloped by a fighting spirit never seen before.
Even the Knight Longsword in Vanessa’s hand changed into a Knight Spear under the enveloping fighting spirit.
"War Dragon Fighting Spirit, huh?"
Lette’s aura surged throughout his body, instantly entering Overclocking Form.
"Still have the mindset to leave something undone?"
