*Y/N's POV*

Ren and Itsuki both used thunder ability's on the Pope, breaking his barrier.

Naofumi: "Filo! Raphtalia!"

Filo: "'Kay!"

Raphtalia: "Right!"

Raphtalia got on top of Filo. The Pope sent lava at us, so I slammed my hands down onto the ground and raised it up to create a wall, blocking the lava. I jumped on top of the wall and looked at Inori.

Y/N: "Inori!"

Inori threw one of her daggers to me and I caught it, I ran electricity through the dagger and spun it around. I looked back at Filo and Raphtalia. Filo kicked through a barrier, allowing Raphtalia to get by it. Raphtalia swung her sword down at the Pope, but he parried it and backed up. I jumped up and propelled myself towards him with the wind element. I made it in front of him and went to stab him, he dodged it and went to stab me with the replica of the Cardinal Weapons. I jumped above it and tried to slash him, which he parried and pushed me back, I flipped back and went to charge right back at him, until he used some kind of wind ability from the weapon and pushed me back. I landed next to Inori and back onto my feet, looking at the Pope. I handed the dagger back to Inori.

Pope: "Do you hear me, Bishop? In order to show the might of God, I need further prayers from the believers."

Bishop: "But sir, almost a third of them have already run out of mana. If they keep going, their lives may be in danger."

Pope: "Is that a problem? This is a battle between God and the Devil. Perishing as martyrs here is the greatest honor for one of the Three Heroes Church's disciples."

Bishop: "As you say. Everyone, provide the Pope with more prayers!" 

That bastard...

Raphtalia: "How could he say something so awful to the people who trusted and followed him?"

Melty: "They'll probably still follow his orders, though."

Pope: "Of course. We are one in body and soul. With their prayers and the sacred weapon's greatest attack, I shall grant you all complete purification. It is the greatest mercy that God may bestow."

Filo: "This feels wrong."

Melty: "He's building up mana. If the light reaches all the way to the top..."

Itsuki: "...a huge attack will follow, right?"

Y/N: "Then let's finish this already."

Motoyasu: " Hey, can't your shield do something about it?"

Naofumi: "Huh?"

Motoyasu: "I mean, your shield seems overpowered."

Naofumi: "Look here..."

Itsuki: "True."

These idiots...

???: "Don't let that foolish Pope win..."

Y/N: "What?"

???: "If he thinks he can say something like "God's Judgement," then you need to do it back, but in a different way... The opposite of God..."

The opposite, huh...? 

Y/N: "How...?"

???: "Just say the words and snap those fingers."

Y/N: "That's it?"

???: "Yes, now, kill him!"

Seems... too easy...
