Dark Temple.
When Shien came here again, the place was already shrouded in pitch-black evil aura, as though engulfed by a dark fog. It was impossible to see what lay within.
The flat land that had once been a Beastmen Race tribal settlement now resembled a bottomless abyss of darkness, with only the evil aura rising and falling within it.
"This evil aura..."
Shien stopped in midair and gazed down at the land of evil aura below, dark and negative emotions welling up within him.
It was an emotion that made him want to rage uncontrollably and destroy everything around him.
"Well, damn..."
Shien's expression grew somewhat serious.
Even with Abnormal Status Resistance, a max-level skill, he was still somewhat affected by that evil aura. One could imagine what would happen if someone entered it.
"Could this be Lilith the Evil God's authority? The evil aura that once turned the ancient world into hell?"
Shien could not help but think so.
And then Shien realized something else.
"It seems the seal is about to be broken. Although Lilith the Evil God hasn't escaped yet, her power has begun interfering with the outside world through the weakening seal."
So, should he go in?
Shien began to ponder.
Yet while he was thinking, some other commotion seemed to arise nearby.
"Oh?"
Shien saw people arriving one after another, and his brows rose.
Among them were members of Duke Streim's Territory First Knights, as well as the female knights of the Shattered Blade Knights.
Capeline led the Shattered Blade Knights toward the area, but suddenly called a halt, ordering everyone to stop some distance before the evil aura. Her face was solemn.
Clearly, the Princess of the Empire had noticed the strangeness of the evil aura and stopped her people from approaching recklessly.
