Chapter 1297: Chapter 604: Secret Pact Unearthed in the Sacred Tomb

Hill charged into battle like a giant steel beast, crushing enemy ranks and clearing the path for allies.

David stood near the flame of the eternal rune, surrounded by divine holy flames. He slowly raised his hand, enveloped in Chaos Energy, as a torrent of power surged from within him.

He gathered all his will to form a powerful shockwave that shattered the altar symbolizing the core power of the Eternal Night Council.

The large Magic Array, formed of pure and unbreakable Chaos Energy, cracked and scattered. Countless rune fragments exploded like falling stars, resonating with the Earth and shaking the depths of the Soul!

At this moment, the entire scene fell into a brief dead silence, as if Time Freeze had taken hold.

But what followed was a startling revelation for the Fallen Knights. The altar’s destruction exposed an important document bearing the Pope’s handwritten signature: the forbidden contract known as the "Shadow Covenant!"

David picked up the yellowed parchment, its ink vigorous yet hiding a secret arcane seal.

This contract revealed how the Pope planned to manipulate the Eternal Night Council, the indulgence system, and various factions to achieve total control over the continent and how many political maneuvers were secretly orchestrated!

Liya took the document, her gaze growing ever firmer: "This is the key to breaking the chains!

As long as the truth is revealed to the world, the darkest conspiracies will be scorched away by the sunlight!"

Cynthia looked around the ruins, sighing softly: "However, this is just the first step. A more dangerous and terrifying journey awaits us."

Hill withdrew his gaze and carefully sealed the treasured contract.

"Guarding the truth is our duty. We will do everything in our power to protect our homeland and future hope!"

From afar came a rumbling sound, as a strange and terrifying aura stirred, making the Earth seem to tremble in unease once again.

Yet at this moment, no matter how difficult the obstacles, these brave souls stood firm, their fists clenched, their determination to defend dignity and freedom burning like a fiery blaze...

In the secret chamber, candlelight flickered, casting shadows on ancient carvings and old parchment scrolls on the walls.

David and the others sat around the stone table, tightly clutching the "Shadow Covenant" just seized from the Holy See’s underground sacred tomb.

This forbidden contract, bearing the Pope’s handwritten signature, seemed to emanate a cold and ominous aura, like a serpent lurking in the night, making everyone feel an unspeakable unease.

Liya frowned, gently brushing over the lines of dense, glowing rune codes on the paper.

Her eyes focused intently, as if trying to penetrate the text’s shrouding Mist.

"These runes are not only ancient Magic; they also conceal profound codes," she murmured. "If we cannot fully decipher them, this contract will forever remain an Abyss."

Cynthia approached the table, her ice-blue runes glowing brighter now, like cold stars guarding truth in the night.

"We need someone skilled in both classical arcane and cryptography... Lucia might be able to unlock these mysteries."

David nodded, "Summon her quickly, we can no longer afford delay. Every second may bring greater threats."

Soon, a figure entered the room slowly. Lucia, draped in a silver-white Magic Robe, its flowing and radiant patterns seemingly alive.

Her demeanor was calm but unable to mask the deep-seated worry in her eyes.

She took the "Shadow Covenant" in her hands, studying it closely, then whispered a chant that lingered in the air.

Complex symbols and astral diagrams appeared in the air along with her chant, resembling a magical feast woven of time and space.

"This contract is more than just text," Lucia spoke softly but with firmness, "It is a key, a seal, and a riddle simultaneously."

"The current Pope is merely a projection of ’real’ existence."

She explained word by word, "The true dominant force is hidden outside of the Time Crack, formed by the intertwining of darkness and light—a duality, the Twin Pope."

The crowd held their breath, the secrets yet unveiled lurking like fierce beasts in the heart.

Lucia continued her explanation: "Within the contract lies the secret of three-heart fusion—the path to divinity formed by the original forces of ’Life, Shadow, and Light.’

This concerns not just power, but the essence of the Cosmos’s cyclical fate."

As her chant accelerated, the intricate silver-and-blue patterns gradually unfolded, constructing a vast, complex Magic Array Map in the air, reflecting the rhythm of the Cosmos.

Every line contained extreme power, causing all who watched to feel their Soul drawn into shivers and tremors.

"This fusion ritual, once completed, will break the balance of all realms, provoking unprecedented calamity or the birth of a new era."

Lucia sighed softly, "But what is more terrifying is the information of the Sea God’s oracle descending once more..."

The hall plunged into silence with these words, each person rocked by this warning, their hearts surging like turbulent waves.

The priest corps leader suddenly rose, his pale face filled with awe and fear as he quivered and spoke: "The Sea God foretold the divine chess game would unfold again...

That means the wheel of fate has been moved once more, and we may be at the last crucial moment!" ℴ

Hill clenched his fist, his eyes burning with fiery anger: "We face an enemy more treacherous than any before!

Yet as long as our belief remains unshaken, we will defend our homeland!"

Liya straightened her back, her voice powerful and resonant: "No matter how much darkness seeks to consume us, we will uphold the free will! The truth will eventually illuminate the deepest night!"
