"This is going to be fun," Lette often said, but mostly in jest.
But this ti, he was serious.
Take this Holy Light Church as an example; it can basically be considered a Calamity Level threat. If it continues to grow, it could be classified as Catastrophe level.
Imagine, with so many cities in the rear of the First Empire, if each Holy Light Church fell into enemy hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, because of the misconduct of the Divine Officers within this church, hardly anyone enters to pray, which actually minimizes the threat.
In other cities, the tension between Divine Officers and local people isn’t so pronounced.
Most of the city’s residents would flock to pray, naturally getting their souls contaminated.
Over ti, the threat would only increase.
Most importantly, the people capable of recognizing such issues are either highly devout Divine Officers or Mages with extrely sensitive spiritual power.
Such people are rare, and in the current environnt, Mages are even less likely to co to the Holy Light Church.
And those devout Divine Officers are likely to act like the small church mbers in this city, unwilling to follow along, choosing instead to go it alone.
They are unlikely to spot the issue.
Allow these Pollution zones to develop unchecked, and the entire First Empire will fall.
By then, surrounding nations will also be severely impacted.
The most critical point is that once Pollution reaches a certain scale.
The Lady of Decay can directly descend into this world through the polluted zones.
She perfectly bypasses the pathway through the World Void.
Which renders Lette’s entire series of defensive asures and counterasures useless.
Fighting on ho turf, win or lose, would be harmful to the current world.
Not to ntion, this world, which has been overgrazed, is relatively fragile.
Although the world has been repaired and nourished after the Dragon Island incident, another clash between Conceptual level strongn might make matters worse.
"Therefore, we definitely can’t let that Lady of Decay enter our world."
"Talking to about it is useless."
Emily hugged the Holy Sword Sin Light, feeling an unprecedented sense of security: "Why doesn’t my Holy Artifact have this effect?"
"It depends on the master, I suppose."
Emily pouted: "By the way, who do you think set up this pollution field?"
"Do you have to ask? It must be those bastards from the Truth Workshop."
Lette kicked open a large door, revealing a deep passage leading underground.
"The Sky Sage and the Lady of Decay have reached an agreent, and this is probably part of it.
Why do people love to build things that shouldn’t be seen underground?"
"Because they shouldn’t be seen."
Emily raised the Holy Sword: "My heart is as iron! Unbreakable!"
Sin Light imdiately emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire passageway.
Lette raised an eyebrow: "You’re getting more skilled and comfortable with using it now."
"Yes!"
"Soon, you’ll be shouting this slogan in public without feeling any sha."
"...Isn’t that contamination?"
Emily walked in front with the longsword raised, occasionally turning her head to chat with Lette.
"Lette, Lette, can you teach a couple more lines? I feel like this line, while versatile, lacks attack power! If we have to fight later, I won’t be able to help you as effectively."
"I refuse!"
Lette gave Emily a stern look: "For you, do I have to shout it once first? Unlike you, I’m soone who needs to maintain dignity!"
Emily covered her mouth, looking at Lette in shock.
"When did you start deluding yourself into thinking you have any dignity?"
"...Do you realize that with a single raise of my hand, I can summon Sin Light back into my hand?"
Before Lette could finish his sentence, Emily turned around and held up Sin Light: "I’m sorry, I was too arrogant and complacent just now, please forgive ."
"Your soul is already starting to twist towards shalessness, decision made."
Following the underground passage, they finally found a massive secret chamber at the end of the path.
Lette looked at the massive and thick stone door before him, then took two steps back and hurled his shield-board at it.
Holy Shield·Embrace of the Goddess smashed into the stone door like a cannonball, completely destroying it with a boom.
As the stone door collapsed, the boulder above ca crashing down but was stopped by the shield.
Emily gulped and couldn’t help but remark: "What a sinister trap."
As the stone door fell, a dense atmosphere of decay wafted out from the chamber, noticeable even to an ordinary person.
Emily’s face changed as she hurriedly held Sin Light Greatsword in front of her.
Lette frowned slightly and stepped into the chamber.
Unexpectedly, the chamber held a giant egg. Sli and tendons glued it to the wall, suspending the odd egg in mid-air.
This thing didn’t resemble an insect egg, or a bird egg, or any conventional creature’s egg.
One couldn’t imagine what spawned such a horrifying and twisted object.
It pulsed rhythmically like a heart.
Though he didn’t know what it was, it was certain that within it lay unimaginable disaster and terror.
"Luckily, it’s still far from hatching."
Lette took two steps back, instinctually wishing to call forth Sin Light Greatsword.
But turning his head, Emily was already standing by the doorway, clutching Sin Light Greatsword in shock.
"Hey! Hey, hey, Emily!"
"Huh? Ah! What is this thing? It’s so disgusting! It looks terrifying!"
"Knowing that, destroy it."
"Destroy it? No! I don’t want the slightest connection with this thing worth even a copper peso!"
Lette spread his hands: "Now we have two choices. Either you destroy it, or I take Sin Light and destroy it.
But the corruption density is high here, if I take Sin Light, counting the ti to swing the sword...
You might be more than seventy-five percent contaminated!
If sothing else delays us, you might be fully contaminated."
Emily retched: "Don’t I have a Divine Curse for resurrection on ?"
"Even if resurrected, your soul would be ruined."
"Why is this happening, why do I always encounter these situations? No! Not ! It’s you! Being with you leads to no good!"
"Cry, and after crying get to work."
Lette stood by Emily: "Co, to help you complete this task, I’ll teach you a new spell.
Once you chant it, you’ll unleash Sin Light Greatsword’s power to its fullest!"
Emily imdiately perked up: "Really? Don’t lie to !"
"It’s definitely true!"
"Then hurry and say it! I’m already itching to go!"
Lette smiled slightly and placed a hand on Emily’s shoulder.
"Emily, do you... believe in miracles?"
"Miracles?"
"Yes, do you believe in miracles?"
Emily paused, then confidently nodded.
"Of course!"
"Good! Then chant with !"
Lette channeled the burning Holy Light Power through his hand to Emily while loudly declaring.
"Those who believe in miracles! They themselves are as remarkable as miracles!"
Emily’s eyes widened, her body suddenly filled with boundless energy.
"Those who believe in miracles! They themselves are as remarkable as miracles!"
BOOM!!!
Instantly, the Sin Light Greatsword unleashed an unprecedented rainbow glow.
"Go! Emily! Destroy it!"
