As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime - Chapter 225: A Feint

After coming to the Sallum Continent for so many years, Monn had encountered so many life-and-death crises that he could no longer remember clearly.

He had survived countless dangerous situations, seeking victory through countless dangers.

It had allowed him to have the strength he had today, as well as his current achievements and fame.

It was said that the older one lived, the more timid one would be in doing things, and the more things one would be afraid of and worried about.

After Monn came to this world from another world, he had brought the system with him. It could be said that from the moment he came to this world, he had been walking at the forefront of this world.

The advancement of his level and the advancement of his body’s saint power had always been a matter of minutes.

As long as the mission was completed, he only needed to sign in on time.

What cultivation technique, aptitude, and material things? It was simply too easy to come by.

He had even thought that if he really stayed in this world and couldn’t return…

That wasn’t actually a bad thing.

At least!

He could become famous here, right?

He even adopted a daughter here.

His daughter was simply like a sweet little cotton-padded jacket.

The baby was cute, obedient, sensible, and spoiled.

All these years, if he didn’t have Alma by his side, he really didn’t know what fun and meaning there was in life.

Facing a behemoth that was almost impossible to defeat.

All Monn’s mind was filled with all the little things he had done over the years.

Many things, many people, he thought he no longer remembered.

But it turned out that they were so deeply rooted in his memories.

Monn faintly felt that an opportunity had arrived.

But what was this opportunity about, what it would bring him, he had no idea.

The pull from the unseen world made Monn panic.

The last time he clocked in for work, after he had levelled up, his luck exploded for the first time.

He had obtained the upgraded spell, Space Walking.

He just didn’t know how many times he could use his Space Walking upgraded spell in front of this giant Kobold.

After he escaped, what would he do with the Paladin army under him.

In the end, Monn decided to give it his all.

“Ace, Elma, I’ll leave the Paladin army to you. We’ll definitely meet again. You have to bring everyone back alive.”

Monn smiled as he turned around and said to Ace, who had been badly injured by the defensive magic array.

He was filled with uncertainty about the future. He had been stuck at the advanced-level of the Holy Rank for too long.

After so long, he had already settled down.

He spent more time and effort on his own Holy Cathedral’s business, and making money became his top priority.

Perhaps it was because he had to muddle along and could not walk out of his comfort zone that he had been unable to reach the Holy Rank.

Now, such a good opportunity was placed in front of him.

How could he miss it.

This was a duel that was either life or death.

He felt that there was nothing that he could not let go of.

With ease and grace, he threw all the defensive tools that he could give to others, without hiding anything, onto the defensive magic array that was supported by the combined efforts of Ace and the Paladin army.

The defensive magic array that was on the verge of collapse due to the appearance of the giant Kobold instantly became indestructible due to the support of external forces. It even emitted a green light that symbolized absolute defense. The faint shadow of the mythical beast black tortoise could be seen.

“Pontiff…”

Hearing Monn’s last words, the members of the Paladin army faintly had a very bad feeling.

It was their honor to follow Cardinal Monn. Being chosen by the hero they admired was the best reward for their strength.

Along the way, they fought side by side with Monn. Most of the time, they were always protecting others. However, they were always protected by Monn.

Their Cardinal was one of the strongest human beings.

But he was the softest in the heart of the strongest.

Now, facing such an ultimate powerhouse that had never appeared before.

Did the Cardinal want to risk his life alone again?

Being protected by the Cardinal that they followed, what could be more tragic than this for the Paladin army like them.

“Monn…”

Seeing that Monn had taken out too many things that Ace had never seen before, Ace roughly knew what Monn wanted to do.

Ace didn’t think that Monn wanted to die.

Ace had always known that Monn had too many secrets.

It made too many people afraid.

If not for the fact that he was a human and came to work on time, he would never work overtime. He enjoyed such a regular and ordinary life and didn’t have any general ambitions.

Perhaps the Orthodox Church couldn’t keep him anymore.

A person who always liked to hide his secrets suddenly stopped hiding. He even openly revealed what he had always wanted to hide to everyone.

He either wanted to die, or he wanted to survive.

With Ace’s understanding of Monn, Monn also wanted to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

He wanted to fight for his life alone.

Did he think that once he left, he would not turn back?

Or did he not even know if he would be able to come back after fighting for his life?

Ace did not dare to think about things in a way that she could not accept.

It was very likely that this time, Monn would fight to the death with the giant Kobold.

After all, Monn had always done things without any desires. However, one must not provoke him. If one were to provoke him, he would carry one and perish together.

“Oh, right. Even if I’m not here, you must make the Pope pay me on time. My position can not be given to anyone else. After all, I still have a daughter to support.”

Monn thought for a moment and did not have anything else to say.

He turned around elegantly and waved at the members of the Paladin army. He took one last look at the army that he had brought up.

He pulled out the flaming divine sword from the ground without any hesitation.

“Old friend, how long has it been since I’ve been hot-blooded?”

Monn gently stroked the blade of the flaming divine sword and muttered to himself.

The giant Kobold in front stared at Monn vigilantly. It seemed that as long as Monn made any dangerous moves, he would immediately launch another attack on the Paladin army on Monn’s side.

“Demon Sealing Dance.”

Monn closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations of the magic particles in the surroundings. The flaming divine sword in his hand slashed horizontally at the giant Kobold’s calf.

Monn was shouting the Demon Sealing Dance.

In reality, the sword that he slashed out was the dimensional slash.

He had already calculated clearly in his heart. Although this move of his was an upgraded spell, if it was used on an existence of a higher level than him, it would not be able to cause even the slightest splash.

Therefore, he simply faked a move and used the giant kobold to focus on defending against the possibility of being sealed because of the spell that he had shouted out. Then, he used a dimensional slash to break through the spatial barrier.

After that, he brought the giant Kobold, who would definitely dodge the attack that he thought was the Demon Sealing Dance, and used the Space Walking to enter the spatial turbulence.

After that, both sides would be on their own to prove their worth. It would be a test to see who was lucky enough to be able to survive.
