Chapter 746: Into the tower of Babel Part 2

Watching Althea leave to join her sister, who should have long since arrived on the demon's continent, Alex smiled before turning to face Sera, who happened to have finished cracking the mechanism locking the door.0

''You are sure shrewd. You could have told her right after I sent you that signal, but instead, you did this to win her over completely.'' Sera said as though criticizing him, but in reality, she was praising him. Alex used the situation to his advantage, as Silveria had told cardinal Pendragon before his death; what they did changed Alex into something better. He had changed even if he wasn't aware of this yet. 

''What can I say? I'm that outstanding after all,'' Alex said with a smug smile. 

Sera rolled her eyes at him while urging him to enter the door, which was now open. 

''Only didn't change and his shamelessness.'' She mumbled as she followed after him. 

Alex's face twitched when he heard her words. He acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

''I wonder how Maria and others were doing? Did Noire already take care of the assassins by the church?" Alex wondered as he walked in the darkness unhindered. Sera, who was being him, responded. 

''Are you worried?" 

''Hell no. I just missed them. I should hurry up and join them once I'm done here, and you'll assist Lilith's group. I'm more worried for that side.'' 

''Okay, I'll follow your order,'' Sera responded after listening to his order. 

''Thank you. I'll be to make you happy.'' Alex said right before planting a kiss on Sera's forehead, she couldn't react at all, and when her mind registered what had just happened, she blushed hard and lowered her head. 

The mighty assassin feared by many had turned into a weak woman at the moment. 

''How cute,'' Alex said before disappearing, not wishing to be present when Sera would blow up. 

Surprisingly she didn't react; she kept her cool as she chased after him. They were running what appeared to be a labyrinth. Normal people would have lost their way or killed by the traps in this labyrinth, but Alex's group passed through the labyrinth as if they knew it well. It was because they were relying on Alex's divine sense.

''Two levels 70 ahead. I'll take one on the right, and you take the other one.'' Alex said before vanishing. 

Twelve meters from their position was a door guarded by two level 90; the guards were dressed in black armors. 

One of the guards yawned.

''I wish to go home and have some fun with that woman.'' 

''You are still keeping her?" Asked the other guard, and just as his friend was about to answer, his head was sliced off. 

''What th-'' The last guard couldn't finish his words before being killed. 

Alex and Sera pushed the door open and walked in. Finally, they entered the tower. 

At the same time, in the room where the ceremony would be held, Luna was still tied up in the middle of a big formation. Her face had become paler because of suffering, but her eyes were still sharp. 

''Hehehehe! Judging from your expression, he is here.'' Luna said as soon the Pope and several high priests walked in. 

The high priests' expressions darkened when they heard Luna's words while the pope kept a calm face. 

''Begin!" He ordered, and the seven high priests surrounded Luna before kneeling as they began to pray. 

The Pope took a gold magic stone and tossed it in the air; this stone stopped above Luna's head began to spin. 

''Ugh!" Luna twisted her body in pain; a foreign energy was invading her body, trying to replace her blood. This feeling was disgusting on top of being painful. 

Lucius nodded, pleased as he saw Luna twisting her body to escape the golden light trying to invade her body; he could feel the change inside her body. 

''Do it!" Lucius ordered, and the seven high priests kneeling simultaneously took out a silver knife and sliced their own throat. 

Luna shivered at this sight, not because of blood but because of the madness inside their eyes when they took their own lives. 

'Crazy.' She mumbled. 

The seven high priests' blood fueled the giant formation, and it was turned crimson. 

Boom! 

A powerful aura burst out from the crimson formation before entering Luna's body. 

''!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

She couldn't even form a word when she felt extreme pain, pain beyond words. 

The Pope nodded when he saw this before kneeling and channeling half of his mana into the crimson formation. 

Boom! 

Another explosion occurred; a golden light pierced the tower and went beyond the clouds, seemingly to have connected to another realm. 

The fake goddess happened to be in this realm; she was in the form of a dark gold ball of light. 

''Fufufufu! I'm going down.'' The fake goddess said before disappearing into the golden light.

Crack! Crack! 

The powerful chains holding Luna's body broke apart, and her body began to float above the crimson formation; her blonde hair turned white and became longer. 

''Huh?'' 

The Pope, who was kneeling, noticed that something was not right; he opened his eyes and was shocked by Luna's sudden change. 

''What is going on? Has the goddess descended?" He wondered, but soon his expression changed because Luna floating above the formation a moment ago, vanished and reappeared before him. 

''What?" 

''Instant Strengthening ∞.'' 

The next thing Lucius saw, a small golden fist seemingly carrying an endless amount of destruction landing on his face. 

Bang!

A loud explosion rang in the air as the Pope's body was swatted away by Luna's punch. The Pope's body was sent flying to the other end of the room; finally, he reacted; he flipped in the air and nearly lost his footing when he landed. The staff in his hand was still buzzing from the impact, and his arm was numb!. At the last moment, he used the staff to defend against that powerful punch. 

A trail of blood appeared at the edge of his lips. 

''What the hell just happened?" He wondered, unable to understand what happened. 

It was then he heard Luna's words. 

''Not bad, I've trained like a madman, but it's worthwhile because I managed to punch you and made you bleed. Everything else is now in his hands.''
