After purifying the spirits, there was nothing left for Davey to do here. Should he punish the wicked? No, that was not his job at the moment. While he might be in the position of a Saint, he was still, first and foremost, a member of the Rowane Kingdom.

Basically, Davey could only interfere with matters relating to the inquisitors. As for the nobles involved with them? It was not his responsibility to deal with them; it was their own job.

"If this happened in the Rowane Kingdom, then…"

"At the very least, the nobles of the Rowane Kingdom knew that their lives would be wasted if they tried to become my enemies."

There was only one thing that Davey demanded from the nobles of the Rowane Kingdom: he wanted them to take it easy. No matter how much they wanted to exercise their nobles' authority, if they suppressed the commoners who supported that authority, destruction would be their inevitable fate.

Although the Rowane Kingdom worked with a centralized governing system, after the purge of most of the nobles led by Queen Lynesse and the Bariatta Duchy, the nation's stability had improved to some extent.

Davey found it amusing that despite the chaos and accidents that plagued the continent, the Rowane Kingdom remained peaceful. As long as Davey was a part of the royal family and had the right to inherit the throne, he would still have the responsibility to deal with and uphold things in the Rowane Kingdom.

Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz!!! Poof!!!

After the fight with Megalodria, Davey's mana and holy mana were both almost depleted. However, thanks to his title, his ability to recover had increased significantly, allowing him to replenish his power quickly.

Davey cast a frightening series of warps by repeatedly replenishing and squeezing out the mana in his body, quickly reaching the Holy Empire where a huge army was gathering.

He didn't think much about Clonnie O'Priscille, the flame attribute trait ability user, after she went missing. From what Davey could see, he would encounter her sooner or later based on her temperament alone. Even if she were to die, she would still make an appearance when necessary.

She wasn't a problem. However, the crazed King of Mythical Beasts, Megalodria, who protected the rabid and wild inquisitors, posed a bit of a problem.

"What would happen if he could use his full power?"

"If a grandmaster-level being decided to run wild, the continent would collapse instantly."

Why? Was that impossible? In fact, even Davey, who was at a significant disadvantage compared to Megalodria, could still make the continent collapse if he wished. What more if it was someone on Megalodria's level?

However, just because this war had begun didn't mean that Megalodria should recklessly charge forward like a headless monster. For someone who could instantly turn the entire continent into ruins, he could take his time and slowly erode away at it.

Why was this possible? Because the Tionis Continent was currently experiencing a severe shortage of talent. If no one could fight back against Megalodria, the entire continent would have no choice but to be dragged along. That was the reality of the situation.

So, what would happen if the King of Mythical Beasts, someone on par with or perhaps stronger than Davey in terms of firepower, went on a rampage? The result would be as clear as a movie on a Blu-ray DVD.

How did an organization like the Last Wisp, Alpha Reinforcement, come to be? It was because even in the past, the ancestors were fully aware of the dangers that this continent would face.

Compared to the past, it was true that the current Tionis Continent lagged behind in everything, whether it was techniques, skills, or force. Even if one put it nicely, this truth would remain. After all, in the past, everyone was forced to develop and grow to survive. However, now, the continent was at peace.

"Prince Davey?" Archbishop Alice, who was looking at the papers in her hand with an ugly expression on her face, trembled.

She saw Davey walking quickly through the white corridor, which seemed to symbolize purity, leading to the hall where she was.

“Stop what you’re doing right away.”

“Yes?”

“Whatever you’re trying to do, stop it and order your troops to go back.”

Alice’s eyes narrowed at Davey’s words.

"I have no idea what you're trying to say, Prince. Even if we ignore what happened to you, what the Orthodox Heresy Inquisition did has already crossed the line. They have ignored the orders of the Holy Pope and started to act on their own, wreaking havoc throughout the continent," she said, her brows furrowing deeply. "I have even placed the name bestowed upon me by Goddess Freyja on the table."

Alice looked indignant for some reason. "What I mean is the Goddess did not bestow her mercy upon me to bring good to those bastards. At this point, no matter what you say, they won't listen, so it's better to show them our might."

What she wanted to say was: 'This is real life, you f*cking bastards.'

"The soldiers..."

"It's already too late. We have already dispatched a large number of Templar Knights to the Orthodox Heresy Inquisition's Hall. We have also divided the Holy Empire's soldiers into the first division and the second division and are ready to go to war at any moment."

At first, Alice was in a hurry to dispatch their troops, fearing that Davey would overturn the entire Holy Empire. However, they realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately sent another group right after the first dispatch.

"Once the last army departs, I will also go and join the battle myself." Alice gritted her teeth despite her calm words.

"Idiots. Weren't they aware of the war that has been going on lately?! Didn't they know that the Continental Alliance has banned war?! And what did they do? They jumped on the current momentum in the continent and created a civil war, breaking away from us in one go?!" she murmured irritably. "A person's life is incomparable to an insect's life. These garbage are making me laugh. Didn't they know that each and every life is precious?! So, why did they kill so mindlessly like that?!"

One of the priests beside her coughed loudly, surprised at her sudden outburst. However, completely overtaken by her anger, she did not pay them any mind and continued spouting words and curses.

"So? Why are you telling me to make the soldiers turn back?"

At that moment, Davey realized he had come too late. If he had known this would happen, he should have restrained Megalodria and not let him leave like that. Well, that was nothing but a mere thought now.

"The inquisitors are humans too."

"I know that."

"Even if they are crazy fanatics, they still use their brains."

Alice frowned at Davey's words. "What are you trying to say…?"

"Do you not know what they believe in and why they are fighting against the Holy Empire's main church?"

Alice suddenly turned rigid at Davey's words.

"Right now, they have a grandmaster-level mythical beast with them. If you continue to march like this, then every one of your men will die."

Bang!!!

The door burst open, and a priest rushed inside even before Davey could finish his words.

"There's a problem, Archbishop!" the priest shouted, delivering his report as he ran toward Alice. "An urgent report came in from Alecsied Island where the Orthodox Heresy Inquisition's Hall is located..."

Alice turned pale at those words. And Davey? He grabbed the priest's shoulders and asked, "Where is the exact location?"

"Location? What do you mean?" the priest stammered.

"The coordinates. Tell me, now!"

The priest hurriedly pulled out a long report upon hearing Davey's words. "I'm sure it's here. Please, please wait...!"

The priest scanned the document and quickly handed it over to Davey as soon as he found the coordinates.

Using only the coordinates for warping was a very dangerous and unwise decision. However, if things continued as they were, a disaster would unfold, and the entire continent would be turned upside down.

But for Davey, this was enough. He grabbed Alice's arm, who was still confused, while waving his other hand in the air.

Vwoooong!!! Thud!!!

At the same time, a huge and intricate magic circle that emitted a blue light appeared on the ground beneath them.

"What... What are you going to do?!" Alice exclaimed, her voice filled with fear.

"Unlike me, that bastard can afford to waste mana since he has a huge reservoir. Even his basic powers are highly destructive. If we leave him alone, all of you will die."

As long as the opponent had the grandmaster-level King of Mythical Beasts on their side, their original plan would not work.

Right now, Davey still couldn't figure out why Megalodria was protecting the crazed inquisitors. Well, understanding that would mean understanding the process. As for the outcome? Essentially, the bastard had become partially insane and was hostile toward Davey.

Before unraveling that mystery, Davey needed to bring the battle to a temporary halt and prevent the slaughter of innocent soldiers from the Holy Empire. What Davey intended to do might buy them a few days at most, but that would be enough.

"W-Wait a moment! You're just going to use space transfer magic like that?!" Alice cried out in fear as Davey continued to wave his hand in the air, their movements swift and precise.

Wherever Davey's fingertips passed, particles of light appeared and formed characters in the air, helping him create and rapidly calculate a formula.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

"These are communication coordinates! I've heard that you're skilled in magic, but using communication coordinates for space travel is completely impossible! We're going to die in vain...!" Alice exclaimed.

"You're being noisy. Shut up," Davey retorted sharply, causing Alice to flinch and promptly close her mouth.

Bzz, bzz, bzz—!

Davey completed his calculations and successfully created the formula. As Alice had mentioned, casting space movement magic without accurate coordinate data could lead to disastrous outcomes, such as being trapped in the Earth's mantle or being launched out of the atmosphere.

However, if Davey couldn't perform such a simple task as calculating a formula, then he had no business presenting himself as the disciple of his magic teacher. The tools at Davey's disposal were his theories, experience, and insights.

Without hesitation, Davey employed his formula and activated the magic.

Boom!!!

Not long after, dozens of coordinates appeared in front of him. When he swung his hands, the coordinates scattered all over the place. Since he could not use the existing space movement magic, then Davey had no other choice but to use expedient methods right now.

Without any hesitation, Davey clasped his hands together and recited his own version of a prayer.

[Let’s just skip it and start.]

Vwooooooong!!!

At that moment, Alice and the priests inside the hall stared at Davey in astonishment as they sensed an immense surge of divine power emanating from him. It was a power unlike anything they had ever experienced before.

In disbelief, they watched as a holy energy, surpassing their wildest imagination and seemingly impossible for a single individual to possess and control, began to envelop the entire hall.

[I want a miracle. Do you want to see the church break down? Then, give me a miracle. Want to see me give up the position of a Saint? Then, give me a miracle.]

[Your poor and pitiful lamb is going to gamble with his life right here and now. If you don’t want to see me die, then you better grant me your grace.]

Crack, crack!!!

The space in front of Davey began to twist and contort. In an instant, the scene before him transformed, revealing the towering figure of the colossal King of Mythical Beasts, Megalodria, soaring proudly in the sky. His massive form cast a dark shadow over the terrified and frozen soldiers of the Holy Empire who had arrived to face their adversaries.
