79 The Emperor's Wrath

"AAAAAAAARGH!"

Heinrich's guttural howl pierced the sky. As the lightning dispersed, he fell onto his knees with his charred body oozing smoke, alarming the thousands of spectators. Although they didn't know his cultivation level, from his cassock alone, they could see his exarch rank, which clearly marked him as a Saint!

But such a powerhouse, a rarely seen individual standing at the summit of the Holy Flame Empire with the church as his backing, was struck down in a single blow without the ability to resist.

As for the bishop hovering in the air, while he wasn't targeted by the lightning bolt, the horrible energy emanating from it was enough to shred half of his body. He dropped from the sky, crashing on the ground, lifeless.

Protected by a wave of holy power, Elmar who stood right in front of Heinrich with Nils within his grasp remained unscathed.
