Light.

The blinding light almost burst across the entire Holiday Sunlight, for a moment, it was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

At that moment, perhaps not just Holiday Sunlight, but everyone in Winster could see this flash.

But in today's atmosphere, everyone would just think it's someone setting off daylight fireworks.

The light flashed and was gone in an instant.

But after the light disappeared, more people appeared in front of Vito.

The blow from Vidona, as if a mountain was pressing down, was blocked.

Blocking him was a pair of gigantic arms made of pure light.

These arms came from a figure covered entirely by a hood, enveloped in light as if a messenger of light.

The people who appeared with him were also hooded.

They were all equally radiant.

To be precise, those arms should have been summoned by all of them together.

"Sun God Sect..."

Vito had already retreated out of the attack range, and finally, some scars appeared on his once flawless body.

They were slightly charred marks, burned by extremely high temperatures.

But as the steel in his heart area surged furiously, those scars instantly dissipated.

"Ethan's really pulling out all the stops, managing to invite Sun God Sect's people to assist, but..."

He moved his muscles all over his body, still smiling.

"It seems you guys are at most level four, unable to use that Sun Flame Purgatory move, otherwise, I might really die here today, but with just a few of you..."

"You might as well say your last words together,"

he muttered the last sentence lowly.

Muscles surged all over his body, suddenly completely covered by steel in an instant, in a blink of an eye, he became a full steel monster, even his face was encased, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, glowing scarlet.

The next moment.

Accompanied by the frantic clash of steel and gears, a large amount of white steam erupted from his body, and he punched once more, towards those Sun God Sect disciples.

This punch...

"Boom——!!!"

Almost unleashed a sonic boom-like roar.

The ordinary Bolita Clan members present directly bled from their ears, hearts stopped, and all fell to their knees.

Even Vito and Vincent were extremely uncomfortable.

And the arms of light summoned by those Sun God Sect disciples that originally could block Vito, also cracked under this punch.

Even if reluctantly, they still caught it.

At the same time, at the moment Vito swung his punch, the Steel Brotherhood members, who were wiped out in the previous wave of attacks, unexpectedly stood up slowly, as if revived.

"Caught my first punch, can you catch my second?"

Even Vito's voice became as cold and unfeeling as steel.

He was already about to pull back and swing the second punch.

The Sun God Sect disciples seemed to know they mustn't let him strike a second time, and suddenly started chanting loudly.

"Oh Sun, great master, please shower all your glory, save your servants..."

A series of incomprehensible words followed, and with them, the light blazed again, and the arm grew stronger, actually holding Vito.

"Useless, completely useless, just a waste of time..."

He growled, the mechanical collision sounds across his body were thunderous, steam like clouds.

And his strength grew stronger, strong enough that the arm of light cracked once more, some of the Sun God Sect disciples could no longer hold on and vomited blood, collapsing.

It couldn't be dragged on any longer.

"Anya!"

Virel fired a gun towards the sky, and with the sound of his gun, another gunshot followed, like thunder.

In an instant, it pierced through all time, space, and even light.

Immediately, it reached Vito's heart.

His pupils suddenly contracted, sensing danger, but too late to dodge.

As a result, he was sent flying by the impact.

And thus freed from the light arm's restraint.

He rolled several times before standing up, his chest once covered by steel, now pierced by a large hole.

The heart inside was beating in rhythm with the machinery.

"What an incredible gun, but unfortunately..." just as he was about to express regret, he suddenly froze.

That bullet...

——————

When the light rose, even at Winster University on the sea cliff, it was clearly visible.

Heisenberg, who was besieging Oswaldo, glanced at the window, seeming to confirm something.

"What are you waiting for? Take him away."

"I have no objections."

Joseph said, glancing at Ned and subtly at Ethan.

Ethan shrugged, as if to say, do as you see fit.

"Oswaldo, come on, we are old friends after all, don't want you to look too bad."

Having said this much, it seemed there was no choice but to leave.

Oswaldo shook his head: "Alright, let's go then."

Seemingly resigned.

The isolated crowd again erupted in noise.

Is the dignified Governor Winster really being taken away just like that?

No one expected such a thing to happen on such a festive day.

El seemed a bit confused, unsure if his position as the headmaster was still secure with such events occurring.

Oswaldo adjusted his collar and was the first to step out.

Flashlights incessantly captured his silhouette, as if recording the departure of a hero.

As he stepped out of the building designed for exhibitions, the once sunny sky suddenly turned overcast.

And, just a few steps out, the first drop of rain had already fallen.

He reached out and caught that drop of rain, and smiled.

At the same time.

In the damp underground.

Shadow and Herlosh finally approached the end of that long, smelly mire tunnel.

They saw the light, stepping into it.

"Finally reaching the end, not sure what's inside, but we agreed, no matter what's in there, we'll go back later."

Herlosh kept wiping his hair and clothes, as they went deeper, the tunnel began to drip water, sticky and stinking, impossible to wipe clean, utterly repulsive.

Shadow remained silent, just focused on the upcoming exit, seemingly extremely attentive.

"You... did you find something? Why aren't you speaking?"

Shadow remained silent.

Finally, the two staggered their way to the bright exit.

Despite the air still being as unpleasant, the light finally brought Herlosh some comfort.

He eagerly took a step forward, wanting to leave this nauseating tunnel.

But the next moment, as he truly stepped into the light, he suddenly stood still.

Shadow nudged him, but he remained unmoved.

Because, in the light, he saw...

Something indescribable.
