" What!? To let loose the Avalon on you two along with your oponent! Holy Paladin, is this a joke? Do you really expect us to do this? Wasn’t this weapon meant to take down the lightning calamity if it ever were to come back?"

"Yes. And it still is. But as of today, this is the use I have for the Avalon."

"Archbishop Ainsley, please bring some sense upon the Lord Paladin, because he seems to have lost it all."

"Hahaha, you might be right, girl. But as of now, I stand with Nikolai in this decision."

"You too, Archbishop?!"

"Yes, me too. As of now, in light of the deaths of three, possibly four, of our fellow archbishops and holy paladins, the Faceless One is a threat on par with the dragons that caused the calamities. If there is a chance that this artifact of yours is powerful enough to take down one of these dragons, it must be used against the faceless one, as realistically, as of now, he is a threat beyond what we, the Fourteen, can deal with, especially scattered as we are now."

"That can’t be…"

"Girl, I know, I had invited you to join me to take the calamity down, not humans, but this time, like I said I did that day, I need your help."

"But... what about... what about your dream of taking down the lightning calamity."

"This... It was not a dream, just a vengeful obsession for having taken my son away from me. But you’re right. Consider it my dream—a dream that I entrust you to achieve on my behalf. Ainsley and I will, if the situation calls for it, restrain the faceless, giving you enough time to make him taste the full power of your masterpiece and take him down. Perhaps at the expense of our lives, but once it would be done, you would be the one to have taken down the infamous faceless one. With such an achievement, you will have all the support you could ever hope for to achieve that dream for me. I know I’m asking too much of you, but I don’t have a choice. Please do it. "

"We have received the Holy Paladin signal, ma'am."

"Mana input at 100%... The Avalon’s shaft is ready to be unleashed. Waiting only for your call, ma'am."

"His graces, the Holy Paladin and the Archbishop, have set the stage for us. Now, it is time for us to fulfill our part: unleash Avalon’s shaft. "

"Yes, Ma’am."

Firing the Avalon, a giant cannon around which the entire new fortress was built, a gigantic shaft of vicious light and pure white lightning was fired in the direction of the holy paladin and the archbishop, and, of course, the faceless one, who was the primordial target of that shot fired. Surely even he wouldn't survive such a powerful attack. It had to be.
