Chapter 485: Chapter 485: The Villain's Act
The sword was so bright that the entire sky was covered in light, making almost everyone close their eyes.
Even Uriel couldn't see properly. He wanted to help his brother but the blood clones didn't give him any opportunity.
He could only mumble under his breath, "Brother..."
While Uriel was worrying for him, Eren was quite relaxed.
"You are right on time." He scratched the back of his head, sighing in relief. Finally, his clone had an opportunity to interfere and become a hero.
"Are we supposed to fight now?" The Clone asked.
All he had heard was that he had to put up a grand spectacle of a fight, but he didn't have any practice about it at all. He could only follow Eren's thoughts if it came to that.
"There is no need for that," Eren said as he started taking off his clothes. He quickly changed into clothes that were identical to what his clone was wearing.
"We have already wasted a lot of time. Let's put an end to it." After changing his clothes and finishing the preparation, he took a deep breath.
His lips parted and he started screaming at the top of his lungs like a dying man.
"Arghhh!" The sky was still bright when a painful cry of the Necromancer was heard. "Curse you, Holy Emperor! Even if you killed me, it won't change the future! The Western Continent will fall! The darkness will always devour the light, hahaha!"
The voice grew weaker, making it appear as if these were the last words of the Necromancer who was struck by the golden sword.
Even though no one could see what was happening in the sky, they could all imagine it based on what they saw before and heard now.
"Do we really have to be so cringe? That dialogue was really..." Eren's clone looked at him weirdly. He didn't know why but he felt second hand embarrassment towards Eren's dialogue.
"Tsk, what do you know about it? These are the legendary dialogues of villains when they die." Eren rolled his eyes, trying to hide the embarrassment that he also felt while speaking these dialogues.
It wasn't as if he couldn't feel how cringe these lines were, but this was how villains acted from what he had read.
Eren didn't offer any further explanation, trying to erase these embarrassing scenes from memory as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, his body also started transforming back to the Holy Emperor's form.
He also made the clone transform into the looks of a guard, along with the attire. The clone flew back while no one could see him, landing next to the two Great Elders of the Demon Sect.
Eren brought out a corpse from his inventory which was dressed in the dark attire just like he had worn. However, he didn't care about the corpse. It was just means to create the last glimpse of the spectacle that the people needed.
The light in the sky started fading away and the people saw a body falling from the sky, dressed in a dark attire of the Necromancer.
Eren raised his hand, conjuring a spear made from the Holy Energy. He shot out the spear that impaled the chest of the falling corpse.
Before the body could even reach the ground, the holy essence destroyed the body, including the clothes.
Everyone watched the body of the Necromancer being destroyed with not even the slightest trace being left behind.
At the same time, the blood clones that were fighting Uriel also disappeared, returning to the puddle of blood that decayed, leaving no trace of Eren's blood behind either.
Every place where Eren's blood was left, the blood vaporized under the effect of the dragon tongue, disappearing into nothingness.
At the moment, it was as if the entire world had gone silent.
A figure was flying high in the sky with the setting sun behind him, making him appear like a true god. It was as if the sun was signifying the fall of the previous order and the rise of a new order.
It was an order that revolved around the Holy Emperor instead of the Holy Church. Even the crazy fanatics of the Holy Church couldn't help but feel their faith shake.
If it wasn't for the Holy Emperor and Uriel, the entire city might have fallen today. When they needed it the most, it was the Royal Family that had stepped up to save them.

Most of the citizens had never felt such respect towards the Holy Emperor that they were feeling now.
Eren could feel that his holy aura was becoming even denser with each passing second, as if getting stronger with the strengthening of royal family's fate.
He was happy that his holy aura was becoming stronger. Even the slightest increase in his strength at this level was significant as leveling became harder the higher one climbed.
Still, more than his own strength, Eren was pleased about the lowered faith in the Holy Church. With each passing day, this news was going to spread across the other cities until the entire continent heard it.
He was sure that many people were not going to believe it. Still, as long as it could weaken the faith of even the small fraction, it was a big blow to the Holy Priestess
"I wish I could've seen her face when she learned what happened here." Eren tried his hardest to not reveal any smile. He maintained a serious exterior and landed in front of Uriel.
He placed his hand on Uriel's shoulder and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Brother, when did you become so strong?" Uriel asked, still amazed by the strength of the last attack. He wasn't sure if even he could've avoided that attack unharmed if he was in the place of the Necromancer.
At first, he had felt proud of his brother over his courage. However, for the first time, he could see that his brother was not only brave enough to go against the Holy Church but also stronger than him.
"Were you looking down on your brother, you little brat." Eren ruffled Uriel's hair playfully.
