"And the Saileach family claimed to control this city, yet they couldn't even deal with a little brat like you. Tsk, useless!"
At this, Lappland looked disgusted.
"Come on! Let me see your will, your fury!"
Lappland waved her hand, and a sharp longsword appeared in it.
Meanwhile, the battle outside had reached a stalemate. Texas refused to engage King of the Promotion / Siege directly, instead using a continuous stream of shadow legions and flames to keep King of the Promotion / Siege trapped in the middle.
During this, King of the Promotion / Siege found an opportunity and fired a light cannon directly at Texas, but in the next second, the holy light seen before reappeared, blocking King of the Promotion / Siege's light cannon.
"So it was you." Seeing this, King of the Promotion / Siege understood that Texas was the true culprit who had injured Saileach and killed Myrtle.
"Saileach's family heirloom technique indeed offers astonishing protection, coupled with Myrtle's powerful defense. Logically, she should have been able to maintain an invincible position in any battle." Texas felt that the situation was decided and calmly began to explain what had happened.
It turned out that at the time, Texas and Lappland, relying on the shadow legions and the burning flames, could only barely keep the opponent contained in the middle. Faced with a defense like a city wall, they had no way to break through.
At this point, Exusiai, who was with Lappland, made her move. Before everyone's eyes, she broke off her pinky finger, then took out the bone. In the next second, the bone transformed into a bullet.
She calmly loaded the bullet and aimed it at Saileach.
This shot should have been fatal for Saileach, but at the last moment, Myrtle shielded Saileach. The bullet, after piercing through Myrtle, lost most of its momentum. Although it injured Saileach, it fortunately spared her life.
Myrtle, however, turned to dust from that single shot.
Upon hearing this, King of the Promotion / Siege remembered that just as Rosmontis rushed into the church, she had seen the Sankta standing in the middle of the pulpit through a gap. If she wasn't mistaken, this was the Exusiai Texas was talking about.
Thinking this, she hurriedly rushed towards the church, but was unexpectedly blocked by Texas.
"Don't be so anxious. Since you're still standing, it proves that the little girl isn't dead yet. Given Lappland's nature, bullying a little girl wouldn't warrant Exusiai's intervention.
Since that's the case, why not stay here and play with me?"
King of the Promotion / Siege, left with no choice, could only re-engage Texas in battle.
Inside the church, Rosmontis, having just evolved into an Ascended, was naturally no match for the battle-hardened Lappland.
Her black flames couldn't keep up with Lappland's movements, and soon Lappland was right in front of her.
With a longsword piercing her chest, Lappland displayed a triumphant expression. "I told you, your luck ends here."
"No, if all of this comes from luck, then so does this moment!"
To Lappland's horror, Rosmontis's hand grabbed her.
"I know the difference between us. With my abilities, if you don't get close, I have no chance... but now—'Amaterasu'!"
Black flames flowed from Rosmontis's hands towards Lappland, igniting her in an instant.
"No, no! Exusiai, kill her quickly!" Lappland, enduring the flames burning her body, cried out for help to Exusiai on the platform.
However, what answered her was Exusiai's cold gaze.
"I'm sorry, but this young lady also made her confession before me once. And you initially refused my intervention. According to our agreement, this will be a fair battle between the two of you, and I am the witness to this contest."
"No!" In a desperate scream, Lappland was burned to ashes by the black flames.
Outside, the two combatants suddenly noticed a golden light appearing on one of them. This was the sign of a loser leaving the field, but to their surprise, it was Texas who was leaving, meaning that inside the church, Rosmontis had achieved the final victory.
"What a miraculous stroke of luck. Perhaps this is the best ending!" Faced with her defeat, Texas didn't feel sad; instead, she abandoned her resistance with a sense of relief. She turned to look towards the church and saw the large doors slowly opening. Rosmontis and her parents, who were supposed to be dead, emerged from inside, looking bewildered.
"Goodbye, Rosmontis!" A Holy Grail also appeared in King of the Promotion / Siege's hand. After making her wish, golden light began to emanate from her, signifying her dissipation.
"Wait, can you tell me what you wished for?" Rosmontis asked anxiously.
"That's a secret, or you can find the answer in history books!" King of the Promotion / Siege waved goodbye to Rosmontis and vanished before them. At this moment, the distant sun rose from the mountains, illuminating the entire city.
The End.

...Seeing the screen turn black, a series of thank-you and cast lists appeared on the screen. After a moment of silence, everyone cheered.
Although the movie was six hours long, it didn't stop everyone at Rhodes Island from considering it an excellent popcorn movie.
The plot was intricately connected, and the fights and explosions were exquisite.
The various special effects also gave everyone a visual feast.
After watching, Nian had to admit that while the film lacked high artistic merit, its entertainment value was undoubtedly top-notch, though she did want to complain about why a Wolpertinger eventually turned into a Feline.
But considering that in Columbia, even mermaids could be played by purely black Pero, Kanna's casting choice seemed much more reasonable.
"How was it!" Kanna looked up proudly at Nian.
Nian grabbed Kanna's horns, hugged her, and rubbed Kanna's head frantically.
After a furious head-rub, Nian leaned back in her chair with a satisfied expression, "A bet's a bet. Anyway, my movie is finished. After a night's rest, we'll go to the Engineering Department tomorrow!"
Kanna, holding her head with a look of disgust and moving out of Nian's reach, hugged Kaltsit's leg.
"Empress Dowager Kaltsit! Look how hard everyone worked on this film. If you can't negotiate a good price, it would be a disservice to everyone's efforts..."
At Kanna's address, those nearby only dared to cover their mouths and chuckle. Kaltsit, though her face darkened, could only acquiesce. After all, Kanna's directed film was indeed good, and apart from potential risks in Siracusa, it could fetch a good price in other countries.
