Since he had already made up his mind, Archbishop Mark did not hesitate any longer. He raised his hand and took off the crystal pendant around his neck that had a ball of white light sealed in it. He held it in his hand, and then hollered in a deep voice with a solemn expression, "The Lord says: All my servants are not to hide from me."
As soon as he said that, a strange wave spread out rapidly with the crystal in Mark's hand as the center. In the blink of an eye, it had spread out to a distance of a kilometer, and continued to spread forward.
"Word Spirit? Command? What a strong nomological vibration. " Sei Itō exclaimed in shock when he sensed the strange wave that swept past his body and discovered that the surrounding space was squirming slightly.
"Seems like this thing should be a special tool that targets creatures like angels." Sei Itō made a rough inference based on the conversation between Archbishop Mark and Archbishop Andrew, as well as Archbishop Mark's actions just now.
Sei Itō then sighed softly, "It's indeed a world-class organization that has been around for nearly 2,000 years. Its foundation is really strong."
"Seems like we've failed again." Archbishop Andrew looked at the empty night sky, and sighed helplessly.
At this moment, Archbishop Mark's face was pale, and his body was trembling slightly as he panted heavily. Clearly, using such a tool that was specifically targeted at angels was a huge burden on his body, especially when he had just used the Holy Summon Array. Hence, he did not respond to Archbishop Andrew's words.
"Belfen, go help Oril get dressed. We're going back." Archbishop Andrew retracted his gaze, and ordered another female Guardian Knight in the team.
The female Guardian Knight nodded, and quickly walked to the clothes that had been thrown to the side. She picked them up and walked to Oril, who was in the array. She then started putting them on for her, starting from her undergarments.
"Anthony, Leon, clean up this place. The two of you, clean this place up. Don't leave any evidence for the other party. "Archbishop Andrew instructed again. She then stepped forward to support the arm of the pale-faced Archbishop Mark, and walked towards the entrance of the passage under the protection of a few other Guardian Knights who were fine.
"You've done such a big thing in my territory, yet you don't even give me an explanation. Isn't that a bit too much?" Ito Sei's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, scaring Archbishop Andrew and the others so much that their faces turned pale. They immediately turned to look in the direction of the voice.
In the air, Sei Itō's figure floated quietly, looking at them with a faint smile.
Seeing Sei Itō, except for Knight Oril who had yet to recover from her convulsions. All the guardian knights immediately surrounded Andrew and Archbishop Mark. Their bodies were enveloped in white light, and they were all in a defensive stance.
Sei Itō smiled when he saw this. He stepped into the air as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase. Step by step, he returned to the ground. Finally, he stood still when he was about five meters away from Archbishop Andrew and the rest.
"Mr. Itō, we represent the Catholic Church. Are you sure you want to keep us here?" Archbishop Andrew asked in a threatening tone with a solemn expression.
"Even the Catholic Church has to be reasonable, unless the Catholic Church wants to be like the Middle Ages and have a dictatorship. Otherwise, I don't think the Catholic Church will have a conflict with me because of your actions. At least, I won't have absolute confidence, "Sei Itō said with a smile.
Archbishop Andrew's expression changed upon hearing this.
Just as Sei Itō said, the Catholic Church was indeed not in the mood to carry out a trial on Sei Itō in Akikuruno City at the moment. It was not only because they did not have the time and conditions, but also because the Catholic Church did not want to casually provoke a new Legendary-level powerhouse who was also above average among the Legendary-level powerhouses. The destructive power of a Legendary-level powerhouse who had let go of the restrictions was not something that the Catholic Church could withstand. Hence, even if they were caught, the Catholic Church would definitely not do anything to Sei Itō because of them, apart from choosing to exchange them peacefully.
Besides, they were the ones in the wrong this time. Hence, they would not do anything, at least on the surface … As for doing something in the dark, that was another matter.
"Are you going to surrender without putting up a fight, or try to resist for a while and then be captured by me after suffering a little?" Sei Itō said with a smile as an obscure energy wave appeared at the tip of his finger.
"Glory of the Knights!" Before Archbishop Andrew could speak, the Guardian Knights surrounding him and Archbishop Mark immediately shouted in unison. They put up an even brighter milky-white light shield around them, and connected it with the light shields of their companions to form a huge milky-white ball of light that enveloped everyone, including Archbishop Andrew and Archbishop Mark.
"Archbishop Andrew, please give the order," the male Guardian Knight who should be the leader of the Guardian Knights said in a deep voice.
Archbishop Andrew raised his hand to touch the item in his arms, and a look of hesitation flashed across his face.
"Lord, be with us." At this moment, Archbishop Mark, who was being supported by Archbishop Andrew, struggled to stand up straight, and announced with a solemn expression.
In an instant, the milky-white ball of light that was originally very bright became even brighter and more dazzling.
Seeing this, Archbishop Andrew obviously understood what Archbishop Mark meant. He immediately ordered loudly, "Sing the hymn!"
After saying that, Archbishop Andrew took the lead in singing the 16th hymn in the Bible — "Song of the Loving Father God".
Amidst the solemn singing, the entire milky-white ball of light was like the sun that had fallen to Earth, emitting intense light and heat. It stirred the surrounding air into thunderclouds, and released powerful thunderbolts that struck Sei Itō's body.
With a thought, Sei Itō's mind, the thunderbolts that were about to strike his head seemed to have been blocked by an invisible barrier, and spontaneously dispersed.
"Resonance of the Rules, Thunder Dissipation!"
Next, Sei Itō stretched his arm forward, and the front half of his forearm instantly disappeared into the air. In the next second, it appeared in the milky-white ball of light, and grabbed Archbishop Andrew's neck.
"Void Space Traversal!"
Seeing this, Archbishop Andrew immediately took a step back, and at the same time, waved his hand to summon a white Holy Fire that seemed to be distorting space. He threw it at Sei Itō's arm.
Sei Itō's outstretched arm disappeared from the burning of the Holy Fire.
"Forget it, I'll just try out the new power that I've mastered, although I'm still not very familiar with it …" Sei Itō muttered softly as he retracted his arm. His hands immediately formed a strange seal, and an obscure wave of power immediately extended forward with Sei Itō as the starting point. It enveloped the milky-white ball of light almost in the blink of an eye.
During this process, all the thunderbolts that fell from the sky into the area of the obscure energy wave seemed to have been frozen in place, and were suspended in the air in their original positions.
"Forbidden Ghost Spell — Time Stop."
At the same time, the white energy flames on the milky-white ball of light that looked like flames also paused, and stopped floating. Of course, Archbishop Andrew and the others, who were under the protection of the milky-white energy, also stopped moving under the power that could stop time.
The only difference was that due to the obstruction of the milky-white energy, when the power of Time Stop landed on Archbishop Andrew and the others, it did not completely stop time. Instead, there were some flaws that allowed time to flow on their bodies. However, the ratio was exaggerated. At the very least, even with the speed of thought, the current situation on their bodies was several times slower than that of a snail, let alone blinking.
Immediately afterwards, Sei Itō, who had his hands spread apart, stretched out his arms, and spread his five fingers towards Archbishop Andrew and the others who were restrained by the Time Shackles. Five obscure and dark spatial powers immediately appeared around the milky-white energy ball of light. They then changed from lines to surfaces, and finally formed a pentagonal three-dimensional crystal that covered the outside of the milky-white ball of light. As Sei Itō closed his fingers, it quickly compressed inward.
After about seven to eight seconds, a dark blue crystal the size of an adult's fist fell into Sei Itō's palm.
After looking down at Archbishop Andrew and the others who were frozen in place like amber in the crystal, Sei Itō put them away with a smile on his face.
"I forgot that there's still you." Sei Itō turned his head to look at Paladin Oril, who was only wearing a pair of underwear. He then stretched out his hand, and a cuboid formed by spatial energy enveloped her body. It then quickly shrank into a dark blue crystal the size of a matchbox, and was put away by Sei Itō.
"Seems like I have to add some missions for the Reincarnators to attack the Church." With a wave of one arm, Sei Itō wiped away the Holy Summoning array diagram drawn on the hotel's roof and floor.
Immediately after that, he teleported back to his home behind the shrine and greeted Don Ito, who was waiting for him at home. He then returned to his room and continued to experience the changes related to the Kido forbidden technique — Time Stop.
Nothing happened for the rest of the night, and time passed smoothly until the next day.
Clang, clang, clang … There was a series of knocks on the door.
"Knock!" With a soft sound, Hideko Nakayama, who was in charge of entertaining Archbishop Andrew and the others, appeared from behind the opened door. She was wearing flesh-colored stockings and a gray short skirt and suit.
"You are …?" Hideko Nakayama asked with a puzzled expression as she looked at the two strangers in front of her.
"We're from the Foreign Personnel Supervision Office of Akiyuu City. Due to some special reasons, your application to stay has been canceled, so please leave the territory of Akiyuu City immediately within half an hour. Otherwise, we have the right to take any action against you." The female of the two announced coldly.
"How, how could it be …" Hideko Nakayama said with a stunned expression.
