The dignity and confidence that he once had were gone from his face, replaced by deep exhaustion and unmistakable shock.
He witnessed the collapse of the Judgement Army, the fleeing of the knights, and the victory of the Royal Knight Order.
It all happened too quickly, so fast that he could hardly believe it, "How is this possible..."
The Pope's voice trembled, his heart filled with questions and fear.
The Holy Light Church, this powerful force that had ruled the Bright Continent for centuries, was defeated just like that.

But his heart was blank, without any response.
He felt an unprecedented loneliness and helplessness.
The Pope knew that from today onwards, everything would change, and the rule of the Holy Light Church had ended.

The Dawn Sect continued to spread across the continent.
