　Am I dreaming?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still cannot believe what is right in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, what has happened in the past year has been so unexpected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Last year, the holy city was destroyed by Naja, the enemy of God.

　It is only by chance that I am still alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was really lucky to be away from the Holy City at that time, and I had nine lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that day, the Holy City ceased to exist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naja used the great magic [Light of Judgment], which was supposed to be used only by the royal family of Dorren, and which was already lost.

　All the buildings, people, and things in the Holy City were turned into salt and scattered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Historic church buildings, many friends, valuable documents, everything was lost in an instant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I could not even see it with my own eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew about the disappearance of the Holy City because, like everyone else, I was just listening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Through the radio I heard that the divine enemy Naja was on its way to the Holy City, and that it was destroyed a little later, and that Naja had already been defeated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Radio is a strange device.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A magical device that transmits voices from faraway lands to remote places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The person who used this radio to report the disappearance of the Holy City was Ars von Barka, the proud general and prime minister of the Kingdom of Fontana, and a knight recognized by the Church as a holy knight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He knew in advance that Naja had obtained the "Light of Judgment" and rushed to the Holy City together with Archbishop Paul, who was recognized as a saint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But they could not reach the Holy City in time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If what he reported is to be believed, there was only one survivor in the Holy City that was annihilated by the Light of Judgment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, that would not be a person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The immortal king who had been sealed away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The dangerous being resurrected, and somehow the King of Immortals entered the divine world, destroyed all the messengers of God who lived there, and then disappeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And after defeating Naja, who was also immortalized by the Immortal King, Ars von Barca and Archbishop Paul returned to the north.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They then appealed for a reorganization of the Church in the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it was done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that all the remaining church officials who were of high rank and trusted by the people in various places were gathered in the north.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rising Archbishop Paul became the new Pope and rebuilt the Church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A messenger came to me with this appeal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They came with a bill promising huge financial support.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps they did the same to others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that all of them were concerned about the sustainable operation of their churches when all the existing information networks had been rendered useless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In such a situation, when a large sum of money is offered in front of you, you usually fall for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I could not take that chance and go to the north.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because I had heard about it from a deceased Pope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　About the magic called [transfer to the Divine Realm] that only the Pope can use and about the way to return from the Divine Realm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A paradise in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only those who have risen to the rank of Pope can go to the divine world, which is also called as such, by the magic called [transfer to the divine world].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When you invoke this magic, a magic circle will be deployed and you will be able to move to the divine world from there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, when returning to the earth from the divine world, the way to move is a little different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A transfer room is prepared in the divine world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There, by sending magic power into the magic circle on the floor, it is possible to return to the earth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The place of return was the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I once asked the Pope why they returned to the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Despite the fact that the information was supposed to be a secret, he told me because he knew that I would be Pope in time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The existence of what lies beneath the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An ultra-pure magic stone called the core of the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that it is located deep under the huge city called the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that the labyrinth core is the key to return from the divine world to the earth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have lived in the Holy City since I became an archbishop, but I had never heard of it until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had no idea that there was such a thing under the ground of this place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I am the only one who knows about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps Archbishop Paul, Ars von Barca, and others must have been unaware of this fact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I understand that they want to rebuild the church organization in the north.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that makes no sense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Holy City is the most important place to return from the divine world to the earth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have decided to turn down the request from Archbishop Paul, the newly proclaimed Pope, and return to the suburbs of the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We must rebuild the Holy City here at all costs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Otherwise, there would be no true revival of the Church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I did not know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what I did not know was that there was really nothing left in the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I did not realize that the labyrinthine core, which should have been deeper in the salt-turned-ground, had been stolen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The true treasure of the church had already been stolen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And who was the real culprit?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had no idea who it was at that time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But his actions would change my life forever.
