My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1999

"Chester, Chester! Respond if you copy! Chester!" Cormick shouted anxiously.

Amidst the ruins, Chester used his custom armor to protect Val, who was still casting the guidance spell. However, Chester had been sliced at the waist, with the lower half of his body a bloody mess.

"Cormick, I'm fine. Keep going, keep going..."

"Okay! Keep attacking! Hold them all back! Hold them back!"

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Chester lost consciousness.

With his death, the armor on Val began to fall off. Waves of white light emitted from Val's body as distinct, rune-like patterns covered half of his being.

At this moment, the pope turned around, stretched out his finger, and pointed to the sky. Another huge light beam was formed in the space, threatening to fall again.

Sven rushed toward the pope as the pope was gathering his strength, but he was penetrated by the scepter.

Without hesitation, Sven followed the scepter’s force downward. Upon arriving at the pope, he threw out a punch. The pope stumbled backward from the force of the punch.

"Huh?"

Sven took this opportunity to yank out the scepter from his own body and stabbed the pope.

The pope maintained his calm as he raised his hands to defend himself with divine power. However, it did not seem to work as the scepter pierced his palm.

"This man isn't with that woman? The blood on him is not his own? Wait..."

Sven's face was filled with determination to die and endless fury.

"I thought I had killed these two?" The pope then looked at Sven in surprise. "How…"

Sven said angrily, "I'm taking revenge for my sister and Marie!"

The Soaring Flame Technique that the pope unleashed earlier was his killing move. Even though the two of them were immune to true energy attacks, the Soaring Flame Technique was feared by even the gods. These were Heavenly Flames that could purify and burn everything.
