Capítulo 1147: Sumr Lights, Hazy (3)
The real issue is—the Shining World Saintess is about to visit the Ancient City.
Although many changes have been made in style, the belief upheld by the Ancient Capital Bishop remains unchanged: the position of the Saintess should not exist.
Yet, as soone with a status second only to the Cardinal, whether at the eting convened for the Liberation Saintess or during the audience with the Saintess after the Heavenly Full Ceremony, and even at the recent century performance… she was present.
Then in recent years, as she increasingly lives up to her age, she had to admit one fact:
—This child is a genuine Saintess.
Moreover, it’s the kind adventurers dread the most.
…A humanoid calamity running rampant.
In the history of the Ancient City, such individuals occasionally appear, like the rising new star, blooming with intense brilliance.
Those claiming to conquer the Starless Dungeon would crush every enemy and harvest before them, leaving fellow adventurers shivering in the wake of the catastrophe, trying to preserve themselves.
No, adventurers shouldn’t be like that. You should cooperate with your companions, fight monsters, and after exhausting efforts to defeat the enemy, embrace each other in the joy of victory and gains, returning with full loads!
Not just grabbing your weapon and charging, killing any enemy you see, and smashing into walls— even barbarians wouldn’t do so!
However, adventurers don’t exactly loathe or hate such existences, though they do find it troubling, that’s about all there is.
Because such people, in the Starless Dungeon, often disappear like shooting stars.
This is a dungeon so deep and vast that even Divine Knowledge cannot penetrate its bottom, making it hard to eradicate the primitive worship faith.
No matter how strong the storm or hero akin to a calamity, after traversing the early floors, they too would silently be swallowed up in the deep layers.
It devours faith, devours ambition, and devours brilliance.
Hence, this dungeon is called “Starless.”
The land where stars are traceless.
As a Gem Rank adventurer, the Ancient Capital Bishop has seen countless such stars vanish.
But if it’s that Saintess…

Recalling the canal outside the Holy City that remains warm even in severe winter, recollecting the crater dug by the Royal Capital Holy Snake, recalling the collapse of the core giant tower in the Alien Machinery City, and the Evil Demon of the Otherworld subdued with a punch on stage of the performance…
Sweat rained down the Ancient Capital Bishop’s forehead.
Before, she only regarded those as holy relics of the Shining World, and even subtly felt proud as a mber of the Church.
As for whether the Plain Ancient City would suffer similar calamities… Oh, how could that be possible, knowing I have been stationed here for many years, not even the Black Gate can penetrate here!
But now, on the eve of the Saintess’ visit, after the dungeon’s upheaval, bygone matters suddenly turned into sharp swords hanging overhead.
The details of the report to the Saintess last night resurfaced in her mind, causing the Ancient Capital Bishop to shiver.
Her Highness the Saintess has definitely beco suspicious.
If she cos over and finds no target, then what if she decides there are too many goblins in the dungeon?
…Can the Land of Starlessness devour the sun?
But those thief brats simply don’t understand how critical the situation is, yet they dared to claim nothing unusual was found!
The infuriated Ancient Capital Bishop couldn’t help but stamp her foot.
“Damn it, having no anomaly is the biggest anomaly, do I even need to teach this… no way, I must go again—”
“That’s right, so you think so too!”
The crisp and agile voice made the Ancient Capital Bishop’s movents suddenly stiffen.
The motion she was about to make while turning around suddenly froze.
After a long while, she slowly turned around.
Under the light, the girl’s hazy figure appeared gradually, like the star light erging in the sumr evening glow.
