Chapter 204: Everyone Has a Plan (2)
A warrior mastering both Sacred Arts and Combat Techniques did not simply gain the strength of 1+1.
Sacred Power itself was a force of Mystique, manifesting through faith, devotion, and steadfast prayer to the divine. Unlike Combat Techniques, which put strain on the body, Sacred Arts were, in a sense, power without cost.
A tremendous strength granted purely by believing in the gods.

In ancient times, knights like these were often referred to as Magic Swordsmen.
Of course, calling them that in this era would make the Holy Knights furious, but the name itself spoke volumes about their power.
Indeed, they were warriors who could stand toe-to-toe even with Galahad’s Knights, the strongest order in the kingdom.
...At least, they were supposed to be.

“Gaaaah!”
Thud!
“Guhh—!”
