**Supreme Pontiff Israfel**, is the leader and most powerful soul evolver of the Holy Church.

## Physical description

Israfel had silver hair and his eyes were strangely the exact same shade. His body was more on the slender side and thanks to the purity of his Soul Power, as well as his high level which was unknown to all, he did not appear to be more than 24 or 25 years old.

## Background

Israfel had been on television news a few times in the past, and his gentle smile on his wrinkled face had won the hearts of many people. However, the biggest surprise of all came on the day of the apocalypse when the Supreme Pontiff who was said to be the closest human being to God revealed that despite his age he was actually strong enough to fight high-level creatures without any problems!

Using his own magical abilities and exploiting the enormous advantage of mana, Israfel and his followers quickly pushed the invaders back step by step and regained territory lost by mankind with the power of an unstoppable tsunami.

After regaining Italy in less than a year, Israfel called a halt to his troops and stopped all major action for four months.

During that time, Israfel made sure that each of the Catholic Church's bases was strengthened using technology they had taken from runes found under the Roman Colosseum. In addition, thanks to the different blueprints obtained from fighting enemy races, the power of the Catholic Church and its followers was growing day by day.

About two months prior to Bai Zemin's fight against the 9-Headed Immortal Dragon, the Supreme Pontiff Israfel had led the Legion of Holy Knights in a major operation directly to the north.

The objective was to reclaim Sweden, and thus rid the oppressed humanity there of all evil... or so the upper echelons of the Catholic Church claimed.

The faction composed of the Catholic Church was basically the ruler of all of Italy in addition to the Vatican, as they had even entered into an alliance with a Fourth Order Zombie Leader who in the past turned out to be a tremendously Catholic person.

In fact, had it not been for unforeseen problems that arose at the last minute the Supreme Pontiff and the Legion of Holy Knights would probably have regained part of Sweden a week ago.

## Abilities

* **Decimation of the Moon:** is Longinus' special skill. It is a skill that consumed practically all of the user's magic power and Mana, draining it to 0 practically in an instant. Despite such a counter, however, Decimation of the Moon boosted all the power of the Longinus wielder 20 times. Decimation of the Moon was a long range attack that could cover over 50 kilometers long and over 5 kilometers wide, making it an attack impossible to dodge in less than 1 second. It's destructive power was also enough to easily pierce through the protective barrier surrounding Hero City, a powerful artifact left from ancient times. With the destructive power of Decimation of the Moon added to the special characteristic that only the Godslayer Spear possessed, Absolute Killing Strike, Israfel did not worry about his enemies dodging his attack. Unfortunately, he found out too late, that this attack could actually be evaded, either by entering a different plane of existence such as hiding inside a spatial crack or becoming incorporeal.
* **Divine Word:** a skill that allows Israfel to influence the mind of his targets. It can be used either on a single target or an entire army. Its killing potential was so great that it even allowed Israfel to wipe out thousands of demons composed of numerous First, Second, and even some Third Order demons. Just by uttering some words, Israfel commanded the demons to kill themselves, and it did not take long for them to start slaughtering each other. However, this skill does not seem to work on beings with high mental fortitude as it had little to no effect on Bai Zemin
* **Luminous Healing:** is a powerful healing skill, however, its power was insufficient for healing severe injuries such as crushed organs.

## Equipment

* **Longinus:** this spear was one of the two greatest treasures of the Holy Church. According to legend, this spear named Longinus was the spear that pierced the heart of Jesus when he was crucified by the Roman soldiers. According to the legend, the divine blood of Jesus bathed the spear of the Roman soldier, and after countless years of being nourished by the divine blood of a deity it turned into the **Godslayer Spear**, or **Sacred Spear** capable of piercing any defense and killing any living creature in existence; even demons and gods! Being a Rank 6 weapon, its pure damage was unquestionable. However, the runes this spear had inscribed on its bronze body were undoubtedly terrifying; enough to frighten some Higher Existences if wielded by someone with sufficient power. Most shocking of all aside from its Rank, however, was the fact that this spear had been forged using a Sixth Order Soul Stone. Longinus has a special characteristic called **Absolute Killing Strike**, which allows it to hit its target no matter what, even if they run to the ends of the Earth. However, it can actually be negated by entering a spatial crack or becoming incorporeal as Bai Zemin did.
* **Sacred Battle Gauntlets:** presumably another artifacteft behind from the last. It was badly damaged after Israfel's fight against two Fourth Order demons.
* **Immortal Lord's Armor:** another artifact from the Holy Church that was left behind from ancient times. It was a Rank 4 silver chestplate armor.
* **Aegis:** three floating spears behind Israfel's back. The spears appear to be made of light and continously glows, with the one in the center being more opaque than the two.
