Hero's Exit

Before Ilius could act, the news that the Demon King had killed three Heroes spread throughout the entire Empire.

"This is impossible!"

A Demon King who had only recently been born, and hadn't even necessarily reached Tier 2 strength, how could he have killed three Heroes?!

No one could answer Ilius's doubt, because the Demonic Beasts had already reached the Royal Court.

The Soldiers who usually guarded the city walls had disappeared without a trace for some unknown reason, and a large number of Demonic Beasts were continuously pouring into the Royal Court.

The Civilians didn't understand why the Royal Court, as the capital, had fallen so quickly. They wished they had more legs to get as far away from the Demonic Beasts as possible.

Wails, Explosion Sounds, and cries for help echoed endlessly in the Royal Court.

The churches scattered throughout the city were now packed with people.

"God! Please save your loyal Subjects!"

"Hey! Pastor Milan, quickly kill these Demonic Beasts! I have money! I'll donate all my money to the church!"

"You said that as long as we believe in the gods, we would be saved. Wasn't my husband devout enough?! Why aren't you saving him!"

"Where are the Heroes? Why didn't the Heroes kill the Demon King?"

"Still shouting about Heroes here. Don't you know the Heroes were already killed by the Demon King?"

The church was crowded with all sorts of people, but without exception, fear was etched on their faces.

Outside the church, a large number of people were still pushing their way in, as if they believed they would be safe once they entered the church.

Ilius's expression was grim. He quickly summoned the members of the choir, and soon the Nuns stood neatly in front of Ilius.

"For the gods, for the church!"

"As Bishop, I order you to remove your restrictions and kill all the Demonic Beasts in the city."

The Nuns, who looked delicate, were silent for a moment before suddenly smiling like yanderes.

[Nun] lv: 17 Class: God's Favor Constitution: 44 (HP+100) Strength: 46 Intelligence: 12

Agility: 33

Spirit: 19 (MP +100)

Holy Light Bath: As nuns who have been bathed in divine grace year-round, they wield the power of holy light. It can be attached to weapons, dealing an additional 0.1x Mana damage to enemies, with double effect against Demonic Beasts.

Desire Suppression: Years of suppressing their own desires have forged a Deformed personality. Upon releasing the restrictions, Attack Speed, Movement Speed, and Strength increase significantly for Half Hour, after which they enter a Weakness state.

Sacred Ground: Near the church, one will not Felt pain, nor Felt Fear.

These nuns, who usually chanted poems, became more like Demonic Beasts than Demonic Beasts after being freed from their Shackles by Iris.

With ferocious smiles on their faces, they swung their Maces at the Demonic Beasts, their blood staining the Nun's Habit that should have been sacred. This scarlet blood even made many nuns tremble, making them even more excited.

"Come on! Kill me!"

"I haven't wanted to live for a long time! Oh dear, this is forbidden for nuns, I'm sorry~"

"Go to hell and apologize to your Demon King!"

They showed no reaction to losing limbs, and would bite onto an Enemy even with their last breath.

Even the Demonic Beasts, lacking much intelligence, felt a sense of dread towards these nuns for a moment.

The Believers, seeing such nuns, silently put down their cheering hands, thinking that anyone who liked these nuns must have a serious problem, but they did feel very safe.

Meanwhile, Iris, who had prepared for a long time, wore magnificent attire and Raised High the Holy Scripture, "God! Please protect me!"

The giant statue in the center of the church, whose appearance was unclear, suddenly emitted a dazzling light. A massive Magic Circle appeared above the city, centered on the statue.

Hundreds of light beams descended from the sky, each precisely hitting a Demonic Beast.

Chen Yi, above the Magic Circle, was greatly surprised. Although he knew Iris's strength was terrifying, her Mental power covering an entire city was simply outrageous.

"Fire Dragon, fly up a bit higher."

Clouds, appearing from nowhere, obscured the figures of the man and the dragon. But to be safe, he still had the Fire Dragon fly a little higher.

"However, this probably isn't her own strength."

Chen Yi activated his Eagle Eye Technique. Even from a distance of thousands of meters, he could see the situation within the city.

His vision acted like a Magnifying Glass, greatly enlarging the minute details.

"This statue is likely not just a simple sculpture. Judging by Iris using it as a medium to cast her spell, this statue..."

Chen Yi suddenly thought of the Main Quest, which had been giving him no clues.

[Main Quest: Obtain the World Source]

Recommended Level LV15-LV30

Current Progress 0%, rewards will be settled based on final progress.

Chen Yi initially thought the Divine Weapon was the World Source, an essential component for defeating the Demon King, and that heroes were merely tools.

However, even after obtaining the Healing Staff, the quest progress didn't increase at all.

Chen Yi hadn't failed to try other things afterward, but none had any effect.

"My strength is still a bit lacking. If I could break through my attribute limits, I'd have more options..."

The Magic Circle below attacked once more. With Bishop Ilis's fourth cast, the Demonic Beasts in the Royal Court were basically cleared.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead; finding the Demonic Beasts had taken considerable effort.

Just then, the sound of applause echoed.

The excessively obese King walked out with difficulty from the side. "As expected of Bishop Ilis, you've resolved the first challenge I prepared for you so easily."

Ilis stared intently at him. "Why?"

"Do you know how many Civilians will die because of your leniency?"

"They are all my God's wealth!"

Hearing this question, the King looked somewhat disappointed.

"Hoo... hoo..."

The King panted, suddenly finding it somewhat amusing. The goal his royal family had pursued for generations, his enemy was actually so... naive!

The King stomped heavily on the ground, and the fat on his body began to rapidly shrink, revealing a hidden aura.

"Civilians? There are as many of them as you want. They are important, but also not important."

"The victor writes everything. They only need to know that the church has failed."

"The generations-long wish of the Vesilia family will finally be fulfilled by my daughter!"

The King's actions seemed to be a signal. In a deep pit not far outside the city, the guards inside simultaneously pulled a valve.

The cages were opened, and pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness.

The Demonic Beasts, starved for several days, craved any food. They climbed out of the deep pit and surged towards the Royal Court.

The weak nuns were unable to stop the demonic beasts this time.

Despair after hope is shattered is the most terrifying thing. The deep-rooted faith of the civilians had been profoundly shaken.

Just then, the soldiers who had originally disappeared appeared from somewhere.

Princess Anna, clad in armor and holding a spear, stood in the sunlight like a Valkyrie.

"All troops, hold your spears!"

"Kill!"
