Someone suggested starting a group, so let's do it (although I don't think there will be many people, so could the first two people who join be admins?).

Section 26 Chapter 25 Trial

Ange thought for a moment, then used the extra cloak to cover the little girl's face before slowly stepping forward.

The monster seemed to sense something, its large, bell-like eyes fixed on the little girl in Ange's arms, but its vision was blocked by the cloak, and no matter how it twisted its head, it could not see the little girl's face.

Ange stretched out her palm and gently placed it on the tip of the monster's nose.

Seeing her dangerous move, Joan raised an eyebrow, but in the end chose to trust Ange.

"Gurgle..."

The monster stared wide-eyed, making unpleasant guttural noises as if warning Ange.

But Ange ignored it and instead raised her head to stare into the monster's eyes.

"I know who you are."

I can guess why you're here.

I naturally understand the sins and pain you bear.

Anjie's voice was soft, but it carried a hint of coldness.

The monster's struggles gradually weakened, and it looked at Ange with its only remaining eye.

Ange continued:

"Undeniably, you are a good father who paid such a high price to save your daughter."

But it cannot be denied that you are a bastard who has implicated so many innocent people for your own selfish desires.

Here I will judge your past.

I will take good care of your child, raise her to adulthood, and protect her safety. This is my compassion and respect for a great father.

But I will not let you see her face. I will ensure that you never see her again, not even until the end of your life and the annihilation of your soul. This is my punishment for a murderer.

If you have a shred of reason left and accept my judgment, let me pull out one of your teeth. If you don't, you can continue to resist.

While elaborating on this passage, Anjie's gaze never left the monster's eyes. Those light blue eyes were like a clear pool, tranquil, peaceful, and profoundly mysterious.

Qiong leaned against the stone wall, gazing meaningfully at Anjie's back, her expression gradually becoming hazy.

As expected of your daughter... If it were you, you would probably handle it the same way...

As Joan became absorbed in her own thoughts, the monster finally stopped struggling.

It simply watched Ange quietly.

It was as if they were asking her if she was telling the truth.

Finally, it slowly closed its eyes and stopped struggling.

"Gurgle..."

Anjie's hand slid to a tooth the size of a thumb, and with a forceful pull, she snapped the tooth in two.

The monster seemed to feel no pain and didn't even move.

Anjie remained silent, raised her hand to cover the face of the little girl in her arms, and turned to walk out of the cave.

"Chief Judge Joan, I'm begging you."

"...What an arrogant little brat."

...

After carrying the little girl out of the cave, Anjie wanted to find a place to sit and rest, but after rubbing her still swollen bottom, she gave up the idea.

A father who gave up everything to save his daughter died without ever seeing her again.

Is such punishment cruel?

Anjie is not a saint.

She cannot forgive the monster for the innocent people who died because of the girl.

But Anjie is not a cold-blooded person.

She could not allow an innocent girl to inherit all of her father's sins.

"Phew...this should be the best solution."

[Ding—Legendary Quest Phase 3: Exploration of the Southwest Mountains Completed]

[Reward: 1 chances to draw a prize]

I must say, everything you've done has made me look at you in a completely new light.

Anjie: By the way, is ketosis illegal in this world?

Okay, I've blown it back again.

The sound of the mission notification indicated that the monster had been completely killed by Joan.

"It's time to go back." Joan walked out of the cave and waved to Ange.

"Here I am!"

...

"I'm back!"

Ange excitedly pushed open the church door, even imagining Novia welcoming her back in an apron.

However, instead of a gentle girl's voice, she was greeted by two balls of magic hurtling towards her face—

"Dark Binding!"

"Deadly Vortex!"

Fortunately, Joan reacted quickly enough to step in front of Ange and crushed the two attack spells with her bare hands.

"[Witches Gathering]?"

Joan looked at the two women who were casting spells and immediately recognized the badges on their magic robes.

The two witches were initially surprised that their combined magic had been so easily blocked by the other party.

However, upon seeing Joan's appearance, both of them turned deathly pale.

"Joan Kazimir!"

"Run! We're no match for this old woman!"

The two witches reacted quickly, turning around and smashing the stained-glass windows of the church before flying into the sky.

Just as Joan was about to unfold her wings and give chase, she heard Ange beside her yell angrily, "Are you two crazy?! Do you even know how much I spent on those stained glass windows?!"

The heavy scripture appeared in Ange's hands, and she threw it hard at a witch.

"You stupid idiot!!!"

call out--

The canon, with a whooshing sound, struck a witch behind her with the precision of a missile, and with a crisp crack, the witch's spine was broken.

The excruciating pain caused her to lose control of her magic, and she fell from the sky, smashing a human-shaped hole in the other intact stained-glass window with a loud crack.

The scripture fell as well, smashing a hole in another perfectly intact stained-glass window in the dome.

Anjie: "Holy crap!"

Upon seeing this, the other witch was so frightened that her soul almost left her body. She desperately activated her magic to escape and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Watching the witch run away, Joan glanced at Ange beside her and gave up the idea of ​​chasing after her.

Ange gently placed the girl in her arms on the bench, then turned and walked toward the witch she had knocked down.

"Cough, vomit..." Blood foam gushed from the witch's mouth.

If they don't receive timely assistance, they probably won't live much longer.

"Speak, what are you doing at the church?" Ange looked down at the witch and asked coolly.

But the witch remained silent, letting blood gush from the corner of her mouth.

"No need to ask. The Witches' Gathering is as infamous as those cultists. They make every witch who joins drink a potion of loyalty. Anyone who drinks this potion will die instantly if they say anything they shouldn't."

Qiong's words interrupted Anjie's follow-up questions.

This annoyed Ange, and she kicked the witch on the head. "You smashed three of my stained-glass windows, but couldn't even get a single message out of her. You're such a waste."

The witch's eyes widened as she cursed at Ange, but the blood and foam in her mouth prevented her from uttering a single syllable; she could only let out low growls of "woo woo woo..."

Let me translate for her: You clearly broke two stained-glass windows!

Anjie: "Whether I smashed it or not, I'm just blaming you!"

Witch: "..."

Anjie: "Oh? You've already fainted from anger?"

P.S.: There's a problem with the group number. If you want to join the group, you can only scan the QR code at the end of the previous chapter. Waaaaah.
