The great gate of the Cathedral gradually appeared in front of our eyes.
On the body of pillars stretching into an arc around the main Cathedral, are angels embracing each other, reaching out their arms.
The sculpted fingers touched each other, circling a wide open eye.
That, the eye that never closes, is the symbol of the Holy Kingdom of Lumière.
Guagoir's pupil.
Guagoir is the god of principle, order, and discipline.
In mythology, he possesses eyes that can see everything anywhere, in order to maintain order in the living world.
Saint Larista was given an eye by the god to lead people to the land of the ancient Empire, which existed 1439 years ago, where it is now recorded in history books as the Larista Empire, after the saint's name.
Legend has it that Saint Larista lived until the ancient Larista Empire triumphed over the neighboring Empire, Zacliel, and the two Ancient Empires merged into one, establishing the Great Lastorista Empire.
All those events, spanning over 420 years.
To the Holy Kingdom of Lumière, Saint Larista is the godfather of all of us.
On his journey to lead humans to the "Holy Land", he freed tens of thousands of slaves from pure-blooded demons.
Calling it a "pure-blooded demon" to distinguish it from the humans who have been turned into demon in the present, we have yet to find out the cause.
Lair slowed down, waited for me to catch up, and then whispered in my ear.
"We are being watched. One is hiding on the roof of the building on the right, two are following behind. The guy in the front stone bench has a gun."
I nodded.
"I'll take care of the guy up front, you take care of the guy on the roof. The two guys in the back are going to attack us the moment we move, so we must act fast."
The guy in front stood up, his hands in his pockets.
I quickly drew my gun and aimed it at his head, Lair's decisive movements also knocked out her target.
The two guys behind rushed forward, we turned around and kicked them in the stomach.
Suddenly Virtine had snuck behind, banged their heads into each other, then wrestled them both back, hitting their heads on the ground.
A group of Crusaders burst out from within the Main Cathedral, forming a formation to surround us.
"Don't even try to fight back, I advise you all not to complicate matters."
The captain of the Crusaders warned us.
It seems Eliane already knew about the presence of "infidels" here.
Lair looked at me, smiling.
"Is this part of your plan as well?"
"Of course, of course."
