Vol 2. Chapter 56

Noon the next day, in the small rear garden near Aietar’s quarters.
Priests and Holy Knights surrounded the area in tight formation.
Yuta stood at the very front of the priests, hands politely folded.
“Well then...”
Aietar, dressed in priest’s robes, stepped to the center of the garden with a slightly tense expression.
A shallow pit had already been dug in the middle of the garden.
“After all, the transmission of divine power must happen through contact.”
To fully absorb the divine power of the Holy Land Arhad, Aietar was planning to bury himself in the earth with only his face exposed while clutching the Sacred Relic of Power.
The principle was that, once Aietar injected divine power into the Sacred Relic, the relic would transfer Arhad’s divine power into him.
Last time, when he absorbed the power of the Divine Beast, it had taken a month. He said he didn’t know how long it would take this time.
And once the ritual began, there would be no way to stop it.
