Volume 2, Chapter 33 – The Uninvited Guest Standing Before the Children

“After Reshir hits the evil god, it will purify the surrounding curse power on a large scale. Moreover, this purification power will flow along the curse power, surging toward its source direction.”

“By source direction, do you mean Gaia Lobir’s core?”

“Yes. So, Lady Hilgena, what you need to do is wait quietly in the high sky. After finding the Terran Malevolence’s core, deliver that fatal blow.”

“Understood, Lord Moande.”

“So, Gaia Lobir’s core is in that position?”

Gazing at the base of the light pillar, sensing the flow direction of the purification power, Hilgena’s lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upward.

Compared to other trembling soldiers, when facing the legendary monster that was the Terran Malevolence, Hilgena felt no nervousness or anxiety at all. Instead, her whole body trembled with extreme excitement.

As a Divine-Graced Maiden,

As the Lord’s spokesperson in the mortal world,

She would represent the Lord to eliminate this monster that had plagued humanity for a thousand years, allowing people to once again feel the Lord’s glory.

“Lord, please bless Your devout servant…”

Raising her hand to hold the cross pendant at her chest, Hilgena closed her eyes and prayed devoutly.

Undeniably,

The evil god was powerful.

But now the evil god had been weakened under the Covenant’s attack, with the intensity of its curse power dropping sharply.

Therefore, blessed by the Lord, she would not fail.

As her prayer ended, when Hilgena opened her eyes again, the excitement in them had already faded, replaced by indescribable determination and coldness.

Moreover, her pupils had transformed into sacred crosses emitting white light.

—”Celestial Art – Skybound Blade Convergence”—

In the next instant, the Augury Force throughout the girl’s body burst forth without reserve, and the crystal-blue energy flood instantly dispersed the clouds within a thousand meters.

Hilgena was completely enveloped in blue light, rapidly diving downward.

The four huge energy light swords hovering around Hilgena disintegrated into countless blue-glowing spiritual particles. However, under Hilgena’s will, these particles condensed, transforming into a giant sword that enveloped even Hilgena herself.

With a momentum that could annihilate all things, the giant sword plunged into the light pillar and irresistibly pierced into the black thorny sphere.

The next moment,

Countless ice-blue curse power surged out from the breach like a broken dam.

Endless curse power, divine-graced power, and purification power rapidly interwove, forming an incredibly chaotic scene.

Finally,

After waves of energy devouring and conflicting with each other, the energy giant sword suddenly pierced through the enormous thorny sphere.

A destructive light intertwined with curse power and Augury Force instantly erupted from the thorny sphere’s center in all directions, directly transforming into an apocalyptic sun announcing the world’s end.

“BOOM BOOM——”

In the earth-shattering explosion,

Terrifying energy waves spread in all directions.

Moande’s lone head floating in the air, being closer to the explosion center, instantly melted and vanished into smoke under the impact of these waves…

Of course, until the very last moment of melting, an extremely ferocious smile remained on Moande’s face.

Those Covenant troops who couldn’t evacuate in time from the explosion also couldn’t escape the fate of being crushed by the blast.

In just an instant, thousands of soldiers and their mech tanks were engulfed by the explosive waves.

Even Shawn Ge, a Celestial Augur Knight, was blown hundreds of meters away by this impact, and only managed to stabilize himself after further releasing his spiritual power.

After stabilizing himself, this Celestial Augur Knight had no time to worry about his own body or the condition of other Covenant soldiers, but eagerly looked toward the explosion center.

“As expected of Ronafis’s Divine Maiden… this attack…. actually penetrated through? Then, will it succeed?”

Clenching his fist, Shawn Ge muttered nervously.

Because this energy outbreak was exceptionally powerful, not just the nearby human troops, but even Ailiya in Bellflower Sanctum felt this terrifying energy fluctuation.

Sensing Bai Lianyue’s curse power aura contained within it, the silver-haired girl anxiously bit her lip.

That is,

Lianyue’s aura.

To think it could be felt even here? Silly Lianyue, disobeying again! Doesn’t she know she shouldn’t recklessly use her power?!

However,

What could make Lianyue use so much power?

These humans attacking this time are serious…

After making this judgment, bad premonitions continuously welled up from the depths of Ailiya’s heart. Although the girl knew very clearly that her strength couldn’t intervene in that level of battle, Ailiya still mobilized her Augury Force, preparing to rush to the battlefield.

But,

Just as the silver-haired girl was about to step forward, she suddenly frowned and seriously turned her gaze toward the bushes behind her.

“Miya! Weiya! Why did you follow me out?”

As Ailiya spoke, the bushes rustled.

The next moment,

Two exquisitely delicate little girls peeked their heads out from the bushes, one on the left and one on the right.

They were Ailiya’s twin sisters.

“Didn’t I tell you to stay in the safe house? Why did you come out? Didn’t I tell you it’s dangerous outside now?”

Seeing the twins, whom she had carefully settled, sneakily following her out again, Ailiya couldn’t help but reveal a displeased expression.

Faced with their angry sister, the twins looked at each other and then revealed a timid expression.

Clearly, Sister Ailiya held a position of considerable authority in the little ones’ hearts.

But even so, the twins had no intention of retreating.

Miya nervously fidgeted with her small hands while anxiously asking:

“Sister Ailiya, are you going to find Mom?”

“Yes.” Ailiya nodded.

“Then, then we want to go find her too!”

Miya clenched her small fists, speaking with a serious face.

Beside her, Weiya nodded in agreement:

“We’re also… also worried about Mom. Mom is so weak… and has old injuries… what if she encounters danger?”

The twins weren’t very clear about what was happening in the Veiled Domain now.

But clearly, the situation in the Domain wasn’t very peaceful.

Compared to Ailiya, who knew Bai Lianyue’s true situation…

In the twins’ eyes, their mother was a frail woman, wrapped in bandages, often resting in bed, recovering.

Physically weak… and mentally a bit simple.

Wouldn’t their mother be in even more danger out there at a time like this?

So,

How could the two little girls stay peacefully in the safe house?

“We want to help find Mom…” The two little ones looked at Ailiya with pleading eyes, speaking in unison.

Seeming to understand the anxiety in the twins’ hearts, Ailiya’s expression also softened.

Sighing, Ailiya quickly stepped forward, crouched in front of the two little girls, and carefully reached out to gently stroke her sisters’ little heads.

“I know you’re worried about Mom and want to help Sister find her. But it’s very dangerous outside now, and Sister can’t protect you while searching for Mom. So, be good… go back to the safe house for now. Sister will bring Mom back very soon.”

“Uuu…”

“But, but…”

The two little ones looked at each other, their sky-blue and orange-red eyes still full of hesitation.

“Miya, Weiya, be good. Listen to Sister.”

Seeing her sisters still hesitating, Ailiya urged.

At the same time, the girl’s mind raced, pondering how to soothe the anxiety in her sisters’ hearts.

Just then, a magnetic yet utterly indifferent voice suddenly came from behind Ailiya without any warning.

—”So, you’re here.”

?!!

The moment these words reached her ears, Ailiya’s expression changed dramatically, gravity surging in her cherry-colored eyes.

It’s worth noting that Ailiya was currently in a state with her Augury Force fully activated, her perception ability at its peak.

And yet, she hadn’t noticed someone behind her?

Not until they spoke…

“Who?!”

Gripping the sword at her waist and shielding her sisters behind her, Ailiya vigilantly turned to look behind her.

However,

After seeing the visitor’s face, Ailiya’s eyes contracted, and disbelief was instantly evident in her expression.

–“……”–
