Within the hidden tunnels of Baker House.
Cass and the others are quickly descending.
They can faintly hear the sounds of intense fighting coming from the deepest part of the structure.
âItâs been over an hour! The battle is still ongoing⊠is the target that strong?â
Silibelle, who carries the title of Punishment Knight, is considered to be high ranked compared to ordinary knights⊠An enemy capable of causing her such struggle wouldnât be just some ordinary creature outside the city walls.
The target must be extraordinary.
âOnce we find that Knight Silibelle is at a disadvantage and we canât provide much help, immediately contact the knight regiment outside.â
âAlright..
Sophia from their team is extremely tense, praying silently, hoping her sister is safe.
Because Silibelle is a true Knight, they are a league ahead of them in every aspect.
The [Seed] in her mind had sprouted and even grown into a unique Talent Tree. If even Silibelle canât handle it, they canât imagine how strong the enemy is.
âHuh? The sounds of fighting have stopped?â
Just as the three of them reached the bottom of the cave, the sounds of fighting abruptly came to a halt.
The sudden silence made Cass nervous. He was covered in cold sweat within his armor⊠The battle had ended, but the result was unknown.
If Silibelle was defeated, once the three of them go deeper into the cave, there would be no way to escape.
âFiya, Koslin, follow me closely! As soon as you find an evil creature, get out of here immediately.â
After slowly progressing past the concealed stone columns where the Sacrificial Array is visible.
The scene before them gave all three of them a shock.
The huge weight hanging in Cassâs heart was finally lifted.
Scattered disgusting tentacles,
Black mud overflowing the ground,
A male skull that had been crushed by a heavy hammer,
[Fallen Baker] had been killed.
Silibelle was exhausted, she somehow managed to maintain the Light Shield as she was kneeling on one knee. All the sacred Punishment energy stored in her head was almost consumed in this battle.
She would need at least ten days, perhaps even longer, to recover.
Han Dong was feigning to be in a dire state, and sat in the mud with a blank look in his eyes.
âSister!!â
Fiya shouted out in worry.
âDonât come just yet, even though the target is dead, the âcontaminationâ has not been completely removed.
You three go up quickly and notify the church to clean up the contamination. Tell them itâs pollution residue from creatures outside the city and ask them to bring enough tools.â
âSo, it was a creature from outside the city!!â
Just as Cass was about to leave, he looked anxiously at Han Dong in the middle of the mud and quickly asked: âDo you need to bring your friend Andwa back to the church for purification?â
Silibelle replied: âNo⊠You go ahead and quickly get some help, let me handle this mysterious apprentice.â
âAlright.â
Since Silibelle said this much, Cass could only obey and quickly lead his team back.
As Cass ascended the tunnel staircase, his eyes were filled with confusion.
âWhy did your friend Andwa appear at the center of the battle with the âcreature outside the cityâ?
Moreover, he seems contaminated from having participated in the battleâŠâ
Fiya immediately put forth her viewpoint: âImpossible⊠This is an outsider creature, even a trainee knight would be done for just by looking at it from a distance, let alone directly fighting it!
Andwa must have arrived at the last moment of the battle. My sister purposely left him here, planning to cleanse the contamination in his body on the spot, otherwise, it would be too late.â
Cass refrains from making any comments.
He has always believed that Han Dong is not like other people, He might have really helped Silibelle fight against the creature from outside the city.
âLetâs report the situation to the church first. As long as Andwa is safe, everything is fine.â
In the underground area,
Silibelle, who was slowly regaining her strength, was looking at Han Dong, who was covered in mud and had even two broken tentacles on his head.
âYour [level]⊠is higher than this creature from outside the city⊠I can consider âkeeping your secretâ.
However, to ensure the safety of the Holy City, I need to take you to the Mysterious Institute to hear Mr. Black-Whiteâs opinion.
If the Crow Prophet knows your situation and verbally confirms you are harmless, I will naturally bury this matter in my heart forever.â
Silibelle is not good at expressing gratitude.
If it hadnât been for everything Han Dong did in this incident, the outcome would have been her death.
However, gratitude is one thing.
The existence of Knights is to defend the safety of the Holy City and to fight for the freedom of all humankind.
Even though Han Dong may appear harmless at the moment, it does not mean that he isnât harmful to the entire Holy City⊠Therefore, as a Knight, Silibelle must verify this.
âAlright⊠You can say it right here.â
Han Dong unrolled the mysterious scrolls that Mr. Black-White gave him on the spot.
Dozens of crows immediately flew out from the center of the scroll, circling in the air, and began to eat the filthy tentacles on the ground with their black beaks.
In a short time, all the contamination was completely consumed.
Then, the crows gathered in the center and turned into a mysterious man with a black mask, wearing a black suit and carrying a black cane.
âCrow Prophet!!â Silibelle bowed her head promptly.
âHmmm, I was originally planning to directly modify and hide your memories.
Since you are willing to âkeep a secretâ, thatâs perfect⊠After all, memories that have been erased can still be restored through special methods and are not absolutely safe.â
Silibelle nodded in confirmation:
âAs long as the Crow Prophet agrees, then there will be no problem⊠I will keep this matter a secret! The matter of killing the creatures from outside the city will be attributed to me and has nothing to do with him.â
âHmmmâŠâ
âBy the way, does the âGreat Plague Chiefâ know about this?â
âThereâs no need to bother the team leader with this⊠I will take care of this studentâs affairs myself.â
The conversation ended.
Mr. Black-White turned back into crows, returned to the scrolls, and disappeared out of thin air.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard from the corridor, the personnel from the church were about to arrive.
Silibelle quickly got up and used the Holy Light Technique to cleanse the contaminating residues from Han Dongâs body⊠Following that, she helped Han Dong stand up from the ground.
âKid, give me your contact information.â
âOhâŠokay.â
This was the first time a woman had asked for Han Dongâs contact information.
âAlso⊠thank you.â
Every time she spoke words of gratitude, Sillibelle would blush⊠it had to do with her pride.
Silibelle quickly returned to her usual haughty demeanor.
âAlright, when the personnel from the church arrive at the cave, you donât have to say anything! Iâll take you directly back to the institute to avoid you being taken back to the church for baptism and revealing any slip-ups.â
âThank you.â
And so,
With Silibelleâs help, Han Dong left the mansion and boarded the train back to campus.
The âGhost Incident of London Streetâ had drawn to a perfect close..
