Overgeared

Chapter 265

A golden ceiling and white exterior walls. Three big and ornate buildings like palaces were situated on the hills of Rolling. They were in harmony with the forest and landscape. There was a small waterfall behind each building. A golden statue of Rebecca rose in the center.

It was the center of the Rebecca Church, the most important religion on the continent. This was the Vatican.

“Isabel-chan!”

Damian returned to the Vatican and sought out Isabel. It was to check her status.

“…”

Isabel’s health hadn’t improved. No, it was worse. She seemed to have completely lost her hearing and vision. There was no reaction when he called from right beside her.

“Cough! Cough!”

She coughed up blood. The crumbly platinum hair was pulled off with a single touch, and the skin was pulled tightly over her skull. Isabel sat on a shabby bed like a doll without a soul.

Damian’s eyes crumbled at the sight.

“Dammit… Why is this room always cold…?”

“You came.”

A priest with a faint presence approached. His emotionless eyes gave off an ominous feeling but unlike his appearance, he could be trusted.

It was Cassus. He had been taking care of Isabel when Damian wasn’t present.

“The mission to destroy the Yatan Church found in the west of the empire… I thought you would finish it in 40 days and come back.”

It was a week later than expected. Goddess’ Agent, Damian. Maybe his skills didn’t meet everyone’s expectations?

Damian explained to the concerned Cassus. “I accomplished my mission more than a month ago. I was delaying my stay in the Eternal Kingdom.”

More than a month ago? He spent only a few days destroying one of the Yatan Church’s temples? Cassus felt thrilled.

“But why the Eternal Kingdom…?”

“I met Grid.”

“Grid!”

The only person able to seal Lifael’s Spear. In the past, he saved the Rebecca Church by bringing down the corrupt Pope Drevigo.

“He’s coming here now.” Just as he did in the past, he would save Isabel. She would regain her beautiful smile. “I will start competing with Pascal in that gap.”

There was 42 days left until the pope election. Damian thought this was sufficient. Thanks to the class effect of Goddess’ Agent, many members of the church believed in and followed him.

‘I will base the campaign on them, defeat Pascal, and become the pope.’

Pascal from the Judar church was the number one candidate. He was politically strong and experienced. He also had the honor of being 5th Pope Franz’s direct descendant. His father was even an earl of the Saharan Empire.

‘But he’s corrupt.’ He wanted to use the Rebecca Church to strengthen his family’s power. ‘If he becomes the pope, the Rebecca Church will walk a worse path than when Drevigo was in charge.’

Many members of the church already knew this truth. Those members would choose Damian for the future of the church.

An innocent Damian believed so.
