"So, did your plan to utilize the Holy Orthodox to assail the Demon Race succeed?" Velix asked Jim in an indiffert tone.

Upon hearing Velix\'s question, Jim shook his head slightly and offered a faint smile.

"Unfortunately, Your Majesty the Emperor, that plan didn\'t yield the desired results," Jim replied calmly and casually, as if he had forese this outcome.

Velix\'s handsome face creased with a slight frown, betraying a hint of displeasure.

"Are you certain your plan faltered? Wouldn\'t that woman be consumed by fury upon learning of the demise of her lover, Leon Kruger, in combat with the Demon Emperor?" Velix\'s voice carried a note of dissatisfaction, finding the notion somewhat incredulous.

A few days prior, at his behest, Jim had deavored to suppress the news of Leon Kruger\'s demise in battle, along with the unexpected emergce of the Demon Emperor on the battlefield.

However, no matter how adept Jim was at concealing the spread of the news, with his aid and the tire power of the Holy Empire of Elysium at his disposal, it was impossible to evade the intelligce of the Holy Orthodox, which possessed power equal to that of the Holy Empire of Elysium.

Therefore, yesterday, Jim approached him and prested a cunning plan: they would cease concealing Leon Kruger\'s death from the Holy Orthodox and instead leverage this revelation to prompt the Holy Orthodox itself to launch an immediate attack against the demon race.

In a sse, this plan amounted to using someone else\'s blade to strike at their foe.

Consequtly, upon learning of the plan\'s failure, Velix found himself profoundly unwilling to accept this reality.

After all, with the assistance of the Holy Orthodox, the swift defeat of the Demon race was assured, and his long-held goal would soon be realized!

Ssing Velix\'s displeasure, Jim maintained a calm demeanor, casually tucking his arms into the loose sleeves of his kimono, as if folding them in front of his chest.

"Your Majesty, in truth, the plan I devised was flawless. However, what we are dealing with is the immse power of the Holy Orthodox. Furthermore, seated upon the Holy Orthodox are five holy guardians, each dowed with extraordinary abilities.

Hce, I suspect that our failure to incite Saint Arshley and the Holy Orthodox to retaliate stems from the interferce of one of these five holy guardians." Jim smiled faintly as he meticulously elaborated on his analysis, as per his calculations.

After all, he had meticulously considered every aspect and realized that while this plan held a chance of success, it was exceedingly small giv that their target for manipulation was the Holy Orthodox—a super-level tity on par with their own Elysium Holy Empire.

Of course, he also knew the idtity of the figure behind his failed plan to influce Saint Arshley and the Holy Orthodox itself— other than Edward Grey, the first holy guardian of the Holy Orthodox.

\'Edward, oh Edward, you are indeed a formidable adversary. Your title as the \'Wise Angel of the Holy Orthodox\' is more than just a name, hahaha...\' Jim mused inwardly, his chuckle echoing siltly.

Despite having all his plans foiled by Edward, Jim harbored no anger; instead, he felt a sse of satisfaction knowing that his oppont remained as formidable as ever.

In that regard, he wouldn\'t succumb to boredom, knowing he still had an oppont who matched his caliber in this world!

Meanwhile, upon hearing Jim\'s mtion of the \'Five Holy Guardians,\' Velix immediately narrowed his eyes, and his dissatisfaction gradually dissipated in an instant.

\'Five Holy Guardians, huh? They\'re not easy to manipulate...\' Velix muttered to himself and closed his eyes for a momt to calm himself down.

The Five Holy Guardians stood as formidable figures, serving as the pillars of the Holy Orthodox—an equivalt to the Three Great Twilights of their Elysium Holy Empire: Jim Terra, Rain Violet, and Natasya Nox.

Therefore, he understood that becoming angry over the failure of this plan would be tirely futile.

After regaining his composure, he reoped his eyes and regarded Jim with a light gaze.

"Alright, Jim, you may return and oversee the tire border region of the Holy Empire of Elysium. And incidtally, there\'s no need to suppress the news of Leon Kruger\'s demise any longer; let it circulate throughout the Empire within three days," Velix instructed before withholding nothing further.

Upon hearing this, Jim respectfully bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will carry out your orders."

Th, lifting his head, instead of turning away, he remained in place and gazed at Velix as if there were still matters to discuss.

Upon observing this, Velix raised one eyebrow and inquired, "Is there something on your mind?"

Jim nodded, maintaining his customary smile, before finally expressing his mind.

"Your Majesty, if Hero Leon were possibly alive instead of deceased, as we believed, what course of action would you pursue?"

Jim\'s words momtarily caught Velix off guard before his expression reverted to its usual calm demeanor.

"Could you elaborate on why you hold such a thought?" Velix inquired, his curiosity piqued.

Jim shook his head and replied, "I can\'t provide specific details, Your Majesty, as it\'s simply a rect thought that stems from my suspicions, hunches, and intuition."

Velix wasn\'t angered by Jim\'s somewhat perfunctory response, understanding the strgth of the intuition and hunches possessed by the man before him.

Otherwise, his title as the "Four-eyed Devil," which had vanquished numerous adversaries of the Holy Empire of Elysium, wouldn\'t have gained widespread recognition across the world.

Velix nodded, indicating his respect for Jim\'s opinions and suspicions.

"Jim, I have trust in you and your words, but this time, Leon Kruger\'s demise is confirmed; it\'s no longer mere battlefield hearsay," Velix asserted confidtly, a slight smile gracing his lips.

Upon hearing this, Jim, for the first time, displayed surprise, gazing at Velix with astonishmt.

"Your Majesty, are you..." Before Jim could finish his stce, Velix nodded and waved his hand slowly.

Soon, in the throne room, a large magic scre materialized, prompting Jim to gaze inttly at it.

Within the scre, a vast hall unfolded, adorned with three towering statues that seemed to reach into the sky.

Witnessing this, Jim was tak aback and redirected his gaze to Velix.

"Your Majesty, is this the Holy Hall of the Three Heroes of Mankind?" Jim inquired with curiosity, his mind racing with speculation.

Velix nodded in confirmation. "Indeed, this is the Holy Hall of the Three Heroes."

Th he gestured towards a specific area below the towering statues depicted on the scre.

"Jim, take a look at that, and I\'m confidt your doubts regarding Leon Kruger\'s demise will soon be dispelled," Velix remarked, pointing his index finger at the scre.

Upon hearing Velix\'s words, Jim swiftly directed his gaze to where Velix was pointing on the scre, his expression transforming into one of utter horror.

There, he beheld a shining sword with a gold pattern circling it, hovering in the cter before the three towering statues.

Jim, intimately acquainted with the exquisite-looking sword, couldn\'t help but feel his heart racing.

"That is... The Great Holy Sword Zith!?"
