Piak, piak, piak! "
That was the sound of gravel falling from the ceiling along with dust and rolling on the ground.
Within the Sanctuary, the rampaging winds had stopped at some point in time, allowing everything to calm down.
However, the scene inside the Holy Hall had completely changed.
The stone pillars collapsed to the ground, either shattered or broken.
Pieces of rubble were piled up in all directions, turning the place into a ruin.
The ground was full of slash marks and pits.
The walls were full of cuts.
Countless pieces of the ceiling had cracked, allowing the scene outside to be reflected through the cracks. One could clearly see what was going on inside the Holy Church.
The precious research facility named The Fool's Holy Hall became like this, looking extremely messy.
"Did … Did it stop?"
In an ice wall full of cracks, Irori, Yaya, and Komurasaki cautiously poked their heads out from behind, with a look of lingering fear.
"Swish!"
Magnus also appeared under the leadership of the girls, jumped out of the ripple in space, and looked at the scene, and fell into silence.
"Cough, cough, cough …!"
Raizen pushed away a piece of rubble that pressed on his body, coughing with a dirty face, but there was no obvious injury on his body, only a faint layer of light flashed.
That was the light of Magic Defense.
It seemed that in the nick of time, Raizen used Magic Defense to protect himself from the shockwave.
And Rozen, of course, would be fine.
In the air above the Holy Hall, a cloak-like black feather weave fluttered without any wind, blocking the falling rubble, and Rozen appeared with the holy sword in his hand.
Golden Crow protected Rozen, leaving Rozen unscathed.
Everyone in the Holy Hall successfully protected themselves from the Wind Slash just now.
However, the Holy Hall wasn't so lucky.
Magnus looked at that scene with a solemn face.
Raizen also seemed to remember his mission, and his face changed.
Rozen looked around at the Templar that had almost turned into ruins. There was only one thought in his mind.
"I'm afraid that old fox, the Dean, won't be able to keep his cool this time, right?"
For the dean who had racked his brains to obtain divine mechanics and built a facility beneath the academy to study divine mechanics, the current state of the place was enough to make him lose his cool no matter how rational he was.
The same was probably true for the world powers. If they knew what happened to The Fool's Sanctuary, they wouldn't be in a good mood.
After all, they wanted the divine mechanism and the secrets of this place, not to destroy it.
Fortunately, the Saint Hall was barely saved and did not completely collapse.
Rozen slowly descended from the air and landed on the ground.
"Lord Rozen!"
"Rozen!"
"Are you okay?"
Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki returned to Rozen and surrounded him.
"I'm fine."
Rozen shook his head, indicating that he was completely fine.
There was no problem on Magnus's side. He escaped through space transfer in time and was not affected at all.
On the contrary, Raizen, although he used Magic Defense to protect himself, he looked quite embarrassed.
Raizen stood up shakily, still holding the Konoha Masamune in his hand.
The battle was interrupted for a while.
The three brothers of the Akabane Clan were at peace with each other, facing each other in a triangular situation.
It was hard to say whether there was no need to fight anymore.
Because …
"Akabane Tenzen …"
Raizen swept away the gravel on his body and glanced at Rozen. After seeing that Rozen was fine, he sighed in relief. Then, he looked at Magnus with murderous intent in his eyes.
"His vitality is really tenacious. From this point of view, he is indeed a descendant of the Akabane family."
Magnus said coldly. From beginning to end, he had a cold and emotionless look on his face. It was as though he wasn't facing his two younger brothers or even acquaintances, but strangers. His indifferent expression was truly hateful.
"What? Do you still want to fight? "
Rozen didn't let the two of them continue to be willful.
"If you still want to fight, I can continue to accompany you. However, when the time comes, it will definitely not be at this level."
That was what Rozen said.
This stopped Raizen and Magnus from acting rashly.
Magnus looked at the Sanctuary that was on the verge of collapse, and he fell silent.
Since Magnus was in cahoots with the dean, this was naturally his research lab. He didn't want it to be damaged.
Raizen's face was filled with struggle. He also didn't want to cause a ruckus here. After all, he still had a mission to complete. He needed to find the secret of Divinity's Mechanics and bring back valuable information or items. If this place was destroyed, his mission would be in vain.
However, Raizen definitely didn't want to give up just like that.
His enemy was right in front of him. He could definitely kill him and make Raizen stop. How could that be possible?
If it was just Magnus here, Raizen would continue to swing his sword and take revenge even if he failed the mission and was held accountable by the military. However, Rozen's existence stopped Raizen's thoughts.
If Raizen continued to attack, Rozen would definitely make a move.
By then, Raizen definitely wouldn't be able to break through Rozen and kill Magnus.
"Why …" Raizen whispered to Rozen unwillingly, "Why do you have to stop me no matter what?"
"… I've already told you the reason." Rozen was silent for a moment before saying expressionlessly, "I don't want to say it again. If you want to hate me, then go ahead and hate me."
Raizen clenched his fists, his face filled with helplessness.
He never would have thought that in the end, the person he viewed as his only family would stand in front of him and stop him from taking revenge.
However, Raizen really couldn't hate Rozen.
Actually, Raizen knew very well that Rozen was even more impulsive than him, at least in the past.
Since Rozen said that there was something fishy about the Akabane Family's incident and even stopped him, he definitely had his reasons.
Although Raizen didn't want to give up on the opportunity in front of him, he still trusted Rozen.
Therefore, Raizen believed that what Rozen did was the best choice.
Unfortunately, although he accepted it rationally, he couldn't accept it emotionally. This was the current Raizen.
Raizen struggled and hesitated.
Seeing Raizen like this, Magnus's expression was still cold, but he didn't make a move. Rozen narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
At this moment, Rozen's expression changed. He turned his head and looked into the depths of the Sanctuary.
Almost at the same time, something strange happened.
"Thump … Thump … Thump …"
Indistinctly, the sound of heavy footsteps rang out and entered everyone's ears.
