Chapter 495: The Scepter of Light

"I knew it was going to happen!" Coughren looked at the rising Guardian Hammer, slowing its ascent as it approached the circle of the other two treasures, and began to show signs of struggling. Under the intense radiation of the divine power of light, large swaths of iron powder and iron filings scattered from the Guardian Hammer.

The sight of the Guardian's hammer reaffirms Kauflon's belief that it is nothing more than a fake. The hammer body of a fake simply cannot withstand the true power of light like an authentic Holy See Treasure.

As the Guardian Hammer was about to disintegrate completely, and the power of light attached to Celent began to flicker brightly and darkly, the familiar voice of the sacred hymn sounded again.

Again, this sacred hymn still drew another wave of light, only this time it hit the disintegrating Guardian Hammer.

"Could it be that guy trying to hasten the disintegration of the Guardian Hammer?" Coughren couldn't understand Alfie's actions anymore. The Guardian Hammer is obviously no longer able to withstand the Light Divine Power, why does he want to re-attract a wave of Light Divine Power to concentrate on the Guardian Hammer?—— as for Alfie's ability to frequently use sacred hymns to attract the Light Divine Power, Coughren has long been numb, and he is now even beginning to wonder if Alfie is the illegitimate child left by the Lord of Light on the continent of Eliad.

It didn't take long for Coughren to realize how wrong he was. Alfie's new light with the Holy Hymn was not meant to hasten the disintegration of the Guardian Hammer, but rather to help it stabilize.

The Guardian Hammer, which had a tendency to disintegrate rapidly, began to stabilize again with the help of this light divine power, and although it seemed that the Guardian Hammer had become worn and mottled due to the previous disintegration, the sharp-eyed people found that after the iron filings on the outside fell off, some unknown substances that shimmered with inconspicuous holy light were revealed.

"This, this, this...... Could it be that there is something hidden inside this fake of the Guardian Hammer?" said Coughren, once again stunned by what he saw. His old heart could not bear this intense stimulation one after another.

Coughren looked at the "fake" with mixed feelings, if it wasn't for the rune light band he was trapped in, he couldn't wait to immediately rush over and take the guardian hammer in his hand, and personally break through the "disguise" covering it to see what was hidden inside. Judging from the occasional divine aura emanating from above, Coughren could almost conclude that it was also a secret treasure of the Holy See.

So far, Coughren has seen the Holy Code in the hands of His Holiness the Pope, the Holy Bell of Light placed on the Holy Mountain, plus the Eye of Light pendant in his own hand, the Lambert rosary that has just appeared mysteriously, and he has also played with the Chalmers mask...... The whereabouts of five of the seven secret treasures of the Holy See, Coughlon already knows the whereabouts of five of them, so could it be the "Scepter of Light" that represents the supreme authority of the Holy See hidden under this fake of the Hammer of Guardianship?

If the Holy Codex, the first of the Seven Sacred Treasures of the Holy See, represents all the knowledge that the Lord of Light has bestowed on the faithful of the Ariant, the Scepter of Light represents the supreme power of the Holy See, a treasure that is considered to be on a par with the Holy Codex, and has always been held only by His Holency.

Unfortunately, in the Great War of Nations, this secret treasure mysteriously disappeared. After that, the Holy Law took the place of the Scepter of Light as proof of the Pope's identity. In fact, even within the Holy See, there was a time when there was a debate about whether the Holy Light Scepter or the Holy Code should be at the top of the Seven Treasures, until the Seven Treasures were scattered out of the Holy See's grasp for various reasons, and the debate gradually subsided.

It can be said that it has always been the greatest dream of successive popes to recollect all the seven secret treasures of the Holy See and reassemble them into the oracle chapter belonging to the Lord of Light in the twelve movements of creation. Unfortunately, with the exception of the Holy Codex, which has always been firmly in the hands of the Pope, and the Holy Bell of Light, which has always been placed at the top of the Holy Mountain Prayer Tower, other secret treasures of the Holy See have been lost, and occasionally a secret treasure has appeared on the mainland, but it has never really been recovered by the Holy See.

It is known that more than 1,000 years ago, the current Pope Vernon Gyllenhaal announced the recovery of the Eye of Light pendant and the Chalmers mask at an open house on the Holy Mountain, and the papal crown also became famous because of this incident, completely allowing the divine power of the Holy See to completely suppress the royal power of the Eliad Empire, which was so famous because of Fred the Great.

It is precisely because of this that some of the whispers within the Holy See against the Pope's personal morality gradually disappeared, making the Holy See once again become one and the same, firmly controlling the situation in the entire Elriat continent until the cataclysm occurred fifteen years ago.

After His Majesty the Pope collected the four secret treasures, he sent people to investigate the news of the other three secret treasures many times, but it was never effective. Rumbert's rosary and the Guardian's Hammer have been rumored to be true or not, but no one has ever heard of the Scepter of Light, and many of the new cultists are not even aware of the Scepter's existence.

The high-level officials who have access to such high-level secrets within the Holy See have almost reached a consensus that the Holy Light Scepter has been taken back to the divine realm by the Lord of Light.

Now, when Coughren discovers that it is possible to witness the true scepter of Light, Rao is unfazed self-cultivation that he has cultivated over the years of being in a high position, and he can't suppress his excited thumping heart—well, the former cardinal who was forced to ascend to the throne actually doesn't have much to do with the cultivation.

The mottled Guardian Hammer, boosted by the Light Divine Power of the Sacred Hymn, overcame the pressure of the Light Divine Power brought about by the combination of the Eye of Light Pendant and the Lambert Rosary, and gradually approached their circle.

Every time the Guardian Hammer gets close to the circle, some of the iron filings that are hidden on its exterior will fall off. As more and more nudity was revealed, everyone saw a small and delicate scepter, gradually revealing its true face.

The scepter was made of wood, and the top of the scepter was inlaid with an opal that was almost identical to the Eye of Light pendant, a pair of angel wings carved from diamonds were guarded on either side of the opal, and a vine carved of magic gold spiraled upwards from the bottom of the staff, hidden beneath the angel wings, and adorned with exquisite jade-carved vine leaves.

As the true body of the scepter was fully revealed, an aura of peace and majesty began to emanate from it, permeating the dungeon. Under the harmony of this breath, the light divine power and the soul divine power, which had already begun to undergo a slight agitation phenomenon, magically began to reconcile, looking like a pair of brothers who had been reunited after a long absence, jerky but intimate.
