Once the rules set by the Calamity Mage failed,
the path of faith eventually returned to Earth Society.
Everything seemed to have come full circle, as if returning to the starting point.
The Calamity Mage must have wondered how she would feel about this outcome.
Or perhaps,
had she actually foreseen this scene?
In an instant,
Matthew's thoughts ran wild.
And as the black fire burned ever more fiercely on the body of the Two-headed Monster,
that terrible Divine Power became increasingly irresistible.
The Beholder Sword Saint, shielding Matthew, retreated a bit further, and said in a deep voice,
"Do not be discouraged, this is not ordinary Divine Fire of Retaliation but the Divine Fire preserved from the era of Ancient Dark God, and it is understandable to find it difficult to withstand such power momentarily."
Matthew nodded gently.
But deep inside, he was not actually discouraged.
