"Your Eminence, the demons have started to join the fight. What should we do with them?" One of the paladins asked.
"Leave them be for now as they seem to be killing the dark god as well." The pope of the Church of Light, Pristina, stated as she used her skills to support the humans.
"Are we going to let them rampage? Who knows if they suddenly bare their fangs towards us since we let them be? Bishop Bright got killed by one of them! Are we going to let that slide?!" One of the Paladins stated as it seems that he is a follower of the bishop that died in Abelport.
"Are you questioning my decision?" The pope of the Church of Light, Pristina, stated as she stared at the paladin that dare raise his voice.
"He is just upset, Your Eminence. He has been a paladin that the bishop picked after all. Please be merciful to him." The head paladin stated in order to dissipate the anger that Pristina is feeling right now for being looked down upon a being that is lower than her.
"I see but I did not mean that they will be free to act like that forever. They will pay for their crimes for bearing their fangs against us, but the dark god matters most right now. We can think of them as expendable pawns since no one is supporting them.
The whole imperial capital is almost taken over by the dark god. I do not want to admit it, but we need them right now. After this battle, we will issue a crusade to kill all of the demons that have infected this world.
Think of this as their last time to actually see the beautiful world that the Goddess of Light brightens." The pope of the Church of Light, Pristina, stated as she raised the morale of the paladins and priest with her words.
"I am sorry for my short sightedness, Your Eminence. I will dedicate my life forever to the light." The paladin stated as he praised the Goddess of Light and Pope Pristina.
"Do not worry, dear child. Sometimes people get lost in the darkness which is why I must act as the light that guides you out of it." The Pope of the Churh of Light stated as she used one of her best buff abilities that formed an armor made of light to those affiliated with the Church of Light.
"Brilliant Armor!" The pope of the Church of Light, Pristina, chanted as she used almost a quarter of her mana to cast such a powerful spell.
In the rear of the battlefield where the Pope of the Church of Light is currently resting herself because of exhaustion, a discussion that must not be heard by those of the alliance is taking place. About three paladins and the Pope Pristina is inside of a soundproof barrier.
"Do you think that we could win if we do not shed this feeble mortal body?" one of the paladins asked but he is actually an angel using the body of a human.
"It will be difficult as you have seen that the demon's spell did not even reach the body of that dark god." Another paladin replied.
"I also received reports that the followers of the other dark gods are moving, and it seems that they will attempt to help the one here in the imperial capital. Maybe we have been to hasty by thinking of aiding them in summoning the dark god since the seal that separated us from half of our brethren did not even budge." Another paladin stated which made the other two nervous.
"Are you also questioning my decision, Aciel?" Pope Pristina stated as she glared at the paladin.
"We do not even know if they are still alive on the other side of that seal since even our goddess does not know. I also think it is hasty but there are signs that the seal is cracking. The method might not be perfect, but it showed results.
The only thing that we need to do is kill all the followers of the dark god that know of our involvement." Another paladin stated which quelled the budding anger that is brewing inside of Pristina.
"We have been disconnected from the First Light! If not for that then we might not need to possess these weak mortal bodies. The humans might have already worshipped us and the Goddess even more if we still have that.
We must open that seal no matter what. Sacrificing a few fodders will not be a problem as long as we achieve our goal. Is there news on the other angels that have betrayed us? Have they been found?" Pope Pristina asked the three, but they shook their heads.
"These meat sacks are also inhibiting our detection abilities. It is the best disguise for us to blend in human society but also what hinders us in finding the defectors. The fact that they did not become devils is what makes it worse even though they want to escape the eyes of the goddess." The paladin stated.
"We shall focus on those followers of the dark gods first. We must kill them hastily upon their arrival without mercy. We must not let the world know of what we have done as we cannot afford war against the world when us angels only number in the thousands." Pope Pristina stated as she returned to her post in the war.
Two of the three paladins slipped away in excuse as they will shed their mortal bodies. They will slaughter the followers of the dark gods lingering the vicinity in their real bodies. It will also be a show of miracle that the Goddess of Light has not abandoned humanity when a dark god came.
The Church of Light must do everything in their power to ensure that the mistake that they committed must not be known to the world. They will erase those that impede them of restoring the glory of the angel race.
