Black mist descends, and I and the witches take refuge in the dungeon.

As soon as Mir finished speaking, a burst of almost exaggerated holy light energy suddenly erupted from Renee's body.

The once gloomy alley was suddenly illuminated at this moment.

Renee slightly extended her palm, and a deep purple scythe appeared.

Dark red lines began to spread from her arm, and her eyes, compared to before, held a devilish allure and pure malice!

【Deathly Purity】?!

Looking at the other party's devilish appearance, Mil instantly made up his mind.

The other party's attitude was exactly like that of the most fanatical believers in the Holy See!

The [Deathly Holiness] sequence, as an aberrant variant of the [Believer] sequence, is a sequence that transforms itself into a demon and then hunts demons.

Their advancement is both simple and brutal: kill demons, merge with demons, and suppress the will of demons.

Any accident along the way will result in death!

And such people often represent a message.

The other party is extremely dangerous and difficult to deal with!

In the next instant, without even leaving an afterimage, Renee's figure appeared in front of Mil, her scythe lightly resting against Mil's neck, bringing a chilling sensation.

Of course, there's also the faint smell of decay that's unique to the [Deathly Sanctity] sequence.

Seeing this, Anderbel was so frightened that she almost fainted. She instinctively stepped forward, wanting to shield Mil from the attack.

But Mil grabbed Anderbel's arm, his tone as flat as before:

"Don't worry, she can't hurt me and won't hurt me."

The moment Mil finished speaking, strands of extremely pure golden threads appeared on Anderbel's body.

"The Binding Ropes of Calamity, a basic ability among the priests of the Vatican, are used quite well. The purity and ability to manipulate shapes are something even I have to admit defeat to."

Father Aules spoke as he walked gently toward the two of them, his white beard slightly disheveled in the wind.

The old priest took two steps forward and stopped about two meters away from Mil and Andrebel.

"Rennie, don't rush into anything, and don't make things worse."

Having said that, he emerged from his sleeve with his withered hand, palm up, revealing a silver badge the size of a thumb.

The badge is engraved with an image of a goddess and surrounded by carved petals. The edges have been worn smooth and shiny, indicating that it has been worn for many years.

"Your Excellency..."

Father Aules' voice wasn't as clear and crisp as Renée's; instead, it carried the hoarseness and gentleness characteristic of the elderly.

"First of all, we want to make it clear that we have no malicious intent."

"These two have been following me all this way, and this young lady even had a scythe to my neck. It's hard for me to believe what you're saying, sir."

When Mir said these words, he still had a smile on his face, but a very obvious sense of estrangement could be heard in his voice.

But Father Oris completely ignored Mir; he was not about to fall into the opponent's rhythm.

You say your piece, I say mine—that's how adults talk.

"Back at the town gate, we sensed the holy power you left on the guards. Do you admit to doing that?"

Mil shook his head and laughed:

"I didn't know that happened."

Orles smiled, still ignoring Mir:

"That holy power is the reason I came to you. It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge it, because you may not know, but only believers who truly believe in the goddess in their hearts can feel the purity of your holy power."

Hearing Father Aules's words, Mir was indeed somewhat stunned.

He used Holy Light Punishment to mislead the people behind the guards, making them mistake him for someone from the Holy See.

However, he never expected that there could be a concept of purity in this holy power!

It's not some kind of white powder, so what are you talking about regarding purity?!

Mir felt somewhat helpless; had he outsmarted himself?

Of course, there was also an element of bad luck involved; who knew that someone from the Holy See would actually pass by in such a short time!

When Father Oris saw that Mil did not answer, he smiled and continued:

"Your power is of extremely high purity, far exceeding the level that ordinary believers of the Vatican can achieve."

Mir, still feigning composure, replied:

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence."

"If it were only around 60% purity, it might be a coincidence, but your purity is almost 100%, while the current Pope only has a little over 90% purity."

At this point, Father Oris stared at Mir, his eyes filled with a somewhat complicated expression.

"With such exaggerated purity, even if you said you were the goddess of light walking in this world, no one would doubt it."

Hearing this, Mir was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Is the [Almighty Lord] sequence really that exaggerated?

Is it a system issue?!

Hasn't this just gotten me into a huge mess?!

Those guys from the Holy See are notoriously difficult to deal with!

Father Oris, seemingly oblivious to Mil's emotions, continued:

"You are the chosen one of the gods. If I'm not mistaken, you are even a divine messenger sent by the goddess to resolve the black mist!"

Mil did not answer, but simply looked at Father Oris.

Renee also moved slightly at this moment. The deep purple power on her body fluctuated slightly, and in a moment, she broke free from Mir's ropes.

"We just wanted to confirm whether you were aware of this power within you. As for the witch behind you..."

Upon hearing this, Mir tensed up slightly.

He held Anderbel's hand, his right hand hanging by his side, his fingertips slightly clenched, the gray stone in his palm already brimming with energy.

If the other party's words are not right, he will immediately activate the [Explosive Stone] and then run as far as he can.

However, Renee did not make any aggressive moves.

Instead, she took a half step back, and the pale purple scythe in her hand vanished.

And Father Aules' voice rang out again:

"We caught up with you not to capture you or the witch behind you, although of course, it would be best if we could capture the witch."

"But from the moment you became determined to protect the witch, I gave up on that choice."

Hearing this, Mil asked Father Oris curiously:

"Why is that? I don't recall the followers of the Holy See ever letting a witch go."

The old priest said slowly:

"I have only read about the purity of your power in the holy scriptures."

And if my guess is correct, you may carry some kind of mark or mission bestowed upon you by the goddess.

As Father Aules spoke, his gaze shifted slightly, landing on Andrebel:

"You are traveling with a witch, which is indeed contrary to the Vatican's ironclad rules."

But beyond the precepts there is an even higher standard, which is the will of the goddess.

The purity of your power almost represents the goddess's own will, and in this situation, your choice is the goddess's choice!

Do you think I have the right to interfere with the goddess's will?
