In the cathedral at the highest point of Central City, an old priest was kneeling in front of a statue of God and praying devoutly.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and the cathedral shook. From time to time, tiny pieces of dust fell from the top of the head to the ground and sprinkled on the priest's robe.

The old priest did not react to the earthquake-like tremors. He only lowered his head and prayed faster, his tone more devout.

"Thump!"

The door of the church was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A young priest stumbled in and exclaimed,"…Archbishop, it's a dragon, it's a dragon!! A giant dragon was flying in the sky outside Central City!!”

"Yes, I know."

The archbishop did not turn around. He was still kneeling in front of the statue, his tone calm.

Seeing that the archbishop had no reaction, the young priest became even more anxious."... Your Excellency, that's not an ordinary dragon. It's... It's more than 300 meters long. It's completely different from the dragons on the continent!”

"I know…"

The archbishop continued to speak calmly,"…That is an ancient dragon, and a demigod ancient dragon. I know all of this…Remember, you must be quiet in front of God. This is a church, God's kingdom on earth. Do not do anything disrespectful to God.”

When the young priest heard the archbishop's words, the panic on his face finally disappeared. His expression was solemn as he looked at the archbishop with reverence.

Outside the city, there was a demigod ancient dragon attacking the city. The city would be destroyed in a matter of days, but the archbishop could still calmly pray to the gods. He was indeed a devout believer of the gods.

"Abir has already been a martyr for the church…"

The archbishop's calm words made the young priest's expression turn horrified again."…Lord Abir?"

But soon, the young priest remembered that he was in a church, and his tone gradually became suppressed. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not suppress the fear on his face.

That was the leader of the Holy Iris Knights, Sir Abir. He was a high-level legendary warrior and the strongest person stationed in the Central City. With Sir Abir's strength, he could even take down a city by himself. However, such a big shot actually died in a short period of time?

The priest felt as if he was living in a dream, and it was extremely unreal.

"There is no need to panic. His Holiness the Pope will hold a Mass for Abir, and he will go to heaven to be with God.”

The archbishop said slowly.

" No, I'm not panicking about Lord Abir's death. I'm panicking about my own safety.'

The young priest cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud.

"Archbishop, what should we do now?”

The Archbishop, who was in charge of all the administrative power in Central City, was the highest officer here. In this situation, only he could give orders.

Pondering for a moment, the archbishop said indifferently,""…Pass on my orders. Tell the soldiers not to resist the dragon. An ancient demigod dragon is not something those soldiers can face. No matter how many people there are, they will only be sending themselves to their deaths. Send the soldiers who can still move to the granary and burn all the food and other strategic resources stored in Central City.”

"Archbishop, if that's the case, wouldn't the Central City…His Holiness the Pope…"

The priest said in horror. The archbishop's order was to abandon this city. This Central City was very important. If they gave up, the Pope would definitely be furious when they returned to the Papal Kingdom.

" I'll take responsibility for everything. You don't have to worry…Besides, I'm sure His Holiness the Pope will understand if we give up on Central City when facing a demigod dragon…Central City has changed hands countless times in the past thousand years. Humans, elves, and orcs have ruled it, but no dragon has ever ruled it. You have to know that with the nature and habits of dragons, they won't be interested in cities and territories.”

"…Even if it's the Dragon Kingdom in the north that signed a contract with the dragons, the dragons there are only the protectors of the country, and the rulers of the country are still humans. After this demigod dragon destroys the Central City, there's a high chance that the elves will take it over. Therefore, we can't leave behind important strategic resources. We should destroy all the weapons and food in the city as much as possible. This way, it won't be long before the Church can organize an army to take back the Central City. At that time, there would be no demigod dragons.”

Listening to the archbishop's strategic planning, the young priest was filled with unusual admiration. This was the archbishop trusted by the Pope!

"Since you've heard the order, hurry up and go. If the dragon destroys the city and the granary and armory are still there, those things will probably be taken away by the elves. With those resources, if we want to take back the Central City from the elves, the price we have to pay will be huge!”

The archbishop's expression turned solemn as he sternly ordered.

"Yes, I'll pass on your orders now…Archbishop, are you preparing?”

" There is still a batch of treasures and precious magic tools in the storage room of the church in Central City. We can't take these things away. With the dragon's greed for treasures, the fluctuation of wealth won't be hidden from him. He will definitely have his eyes on this place. You guys can run first.”

The archbishop sighed.

The priest looked sorrowful. He thought that the archbishop was going to die to stop the dragon so that ordinary people like them could escape.

Realizing that the priest seemed to have misunderstood something, the archbishop glared at him and said,"…What are you thinking? I'll leave through the secret passage now. Once I leave the demigod realm, I'll use the divine scroll to teleport away. Don't worry about me.”

I was just an old man, and although I was a priest and knew high-level divine spells, my main duty was to save the dying and heal the wounded. I didn't know how to fight. Even Abir, one of the most powerful people in the church, had fallen. What was the use of me, a 'healing' bishop, staying here? Of course, I had to run as far away as possible!!

The archbishop thought that he had a high status in the church and had not enjoyed enough blessings. How could he be willing to die here?

Hearing the archbishop's words, the priest's face darkened. So the archbishop's purpose was to let them attract the dragon's attention outside so that he could escape. To think that he thought that the archbishop had some sacrificial spirit.

However, he didn't dare to say anything since his status wasn't high enough. After bidding farewell, he went to give the bishop's orders.

After the young priest left the church and the church was empty, the archbishop jumped up with agility that did not match his age and ran towards the back of the church where the secret passage was located.

……

At this moment, the 'Burning Flame Waterfall' had completely penetrated the city's defense. Countless fiery raindrops fell into the city like dazzling lights. The roaring explosions, the burning flames, the wails and screams of countless races, the trampled streets, and the fleeing people formed a scene that looked like the end of the world.

The giant dragon descended from the sky and massacred the city and destroyed the country just like in the stories. In the blink of an eye, the city had completely fallen.
