Her initial ease vanished, replaced by apprehension.

Could this seemingly harmless goddess really possess such a terrifying ability to bewitch people?

As a human, she should not let her guard down against any god, otherwise she might not even know how she died.

How long have I been like this?

Loria asked tentatively.

"It's been almost twenty minutes."

Has it been that long?

Loria felt as if she had been in that directionless world for only a few dozen seconds.

That's it.

If mysticism isn't mysterious, then what is it?

“I have come here to be baptized,” Loria explained her purpose.

How can one be considered a qualified devotee of the goddess?

The answers are varied.

Loria considered all opinions and felt that baptism was necessary to make it count.

The nun responded with an "oh," without refusing.

The Goddess Cult is quite inclusive; regardless of your status, whether you are a nobleman or a slave, you can become a follower of the Goddess Cult.

The Goddess Cult is also quite free, with no restrictions imposed on believers in its doctrines.

Loria followed behind the nun, washed her hands first, and then waited for the nun to baptize her.

The baptism process was not complicated. Although she had not experienced it herself, she had seen quite a bit of it when she was in Stream Town.

Normally, a baptism can be completed in a maximum of five minutes, but today an unexpected event occurred.

"what the hell?"

Loria was speechless. Since arriving at the officer training school, she had hardly had any rest, with one trouble after another constantly arising.

After hearing the loud rumble, she rushed to the window.

Snapped!

The next moment, Loria saw the president fly over from the other side of the church and crash heavily in front of the window where she was standing.

"What...what's going on?"

Loria was taken aback and made as if to jump out of the window to help the magistrate up.

The president was much stronger than she had imagined. Even after such a severe blow, she was able to get up quickly and look at her with an anxious face: "There's no time to explain. Now come with me and let's get out of here."

"Huh, this?"

Even without the president's explanation, Loria quickly found out the answer.

Because a half-baked person jumped over from the other side of the church, his gaze shifting between Loria and the president, looking somewhat fierce.

"Isn't this the principal of the sergeant school?"

Loria's heart tightened.

She had met the principal once while she was in solitary confinement. At that time, the principal had gray hair and beard, but possessed a vigorous physique rarely seen in the elderly.

But now this principal, with his rosy lips and white teeth, looks more like an actor than a teacher.

"Quickly open!"

The president, who was lying on the ground, shouted out.

Having a bad feeling, Loria instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the principal's attack.

Although the president didn't say what happened, she felt she had grasped the gist of it.

"The principal of the sergeant school has long been corrupted by people like Jose. When we asked him for help, he not only failed to help us, but also made us lambs to the slaughter!"

Damn it.

Loria's face turned extremely pale.

The principal is definitely here to kill her and the student council president. Once they're dead, they can find a way to suppress the demons' rampage in the school.

Considering the recent school notice instructing students not to leave their dorm rooms no matter what they hear, Loria felt she probably wouldn't be getting any reinforcements.

"What a despicable bastard! He actually tried to trick and ambush an innocent girl like me!"

Loria quickly gave the headmaster a piece of her mind, but something alarming happened: she couldn't read the headmaster's information, which meant that the headmaster was at least a B-rank adventurer.

Hmm, she must have just entered the B-level. Otherwise, the president wouldn't have been able to get here alive, and she wouldn't have been able to dodge the principal's attack just now.

Where is Doris?

Loria asked eagerly.

The president replied, "She's too slow; she's probably still catching up."

Loria breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing had happened.

However, Doris's absence put her in a difficult situation, as she couldn't quickly enter heat mode and then use the Darkmoon Heart's bonus to stack her stamina to over 200 points.

Loria stared at her carefully manicured fingers.

Can not be done.

Even if she swallowed her pride and started generating electricity in front of everyone, there wouldn't be enough time.

Even someone as physically sensitive as her needs time to get into an excited state, and the principal would never stand idly by during that time.

There wasn't even time to take medicine.

The flaws revealed when taking medicine are too great, even greater than generating electricity, and the effects of the medicine also take time to take hold.

let's hit.

We have no choice but to fight; only by fighting can we attract the principal's attention and give the chairman a chance to catch his breath.

Hopefully, this can be delayed a bit longer, until Doris arrives.

Of course, this is all on the condition that Doris can make it. Loria is worried that Doris might run away halfway because she's scared.

Upon seeing the white light emanating from the principal's fingers, she immediately used her cat-like movements to create some distance. A white streak of light shot out from the principal's fingers, striking the aisle between the chapel pews with a sharp crack, instantly creating a crack in the ground that stretched all the way to the foot of the goddess statue.

"That was close."

Loria's pupils contracted.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the crack isn't very wide; it's precisely because it's not wide that it looks so terrifying.

The crack was a perfectly regular cuboid, with no spiderweb-like fissures visible around it. This could not possibly have been a normal tap; she even suspected it was an "erasure."

"If I had been the one hit just now, wouldn't a piece of my body have been missing out of nowhere?"

Loria didn't have time to think it through, because the headmaster launched another attack.

The long white whip was fixated on her, completely ignoring the president lying on the ground and the nun screaming and hiding in the prayer room.

"Damn it, is it really necessary to pursue this relentlessly?"

Loria, wary of the principal, dared not confront him directly, because the Cat Step had a one-second cooldown. This time, she was truly in a sorry state.

In just over ten seconds, her clothes were covered in dust, and her skin was covered in large beads of sweat. The sticky feeling made her desire slowly well up.

But it's too slow!

"This won't do. I'll die before Doris arrives. We have to think of a way."

While dodging, Loria thought about which skills she could use.

Upon reflection, she realized that she had no solution at all.

The advantages of high stamina and thick skin are too difficult to utilize when facing this strange attack method.

Once she has a few more wounds like cracks in the ground, she will soon lose her mobility and become a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Loria felt that the most feasible solution now was to run away.

But this dream was quickly shattered; she had barely run from the front of the goddess statue to the back when she found her path blocked.

"How the hell did you get here?"

Cold sweat continued to pour down my face.

Loria looked around.

The chapel was smashed to pieces; the glass windows, chairs, and chandeliers were all reduced to dust.

Amidst this ruin, only the goddess statue at the very front of the chapel stands out.

It stood there quietly, without a single scratch, as if all the world's strife did not exist, and only there was peace and tranquility.

"It's true that people are no better than statues."

After running around for a while, Loria suddenly realized the problem.

"In such a fierce battle, unless it was deliberately controlled, how could the goddess statue have remained completely unscathed?"

She held her breath and focused intently, carefully observing even as she was being beaten and running away with her head in her hands.

Loria immediately grasped the key point from this observation.

Several times the long white whip was about to lash her waist or legs, but it was pulled back at the crucial moment.

At first, she thought the principal was slowly torturing her, but after rolling around a few more times, she figured out the key to the matter.

The key lies in the goddess statue!

The principal seemed terrified of the goddess statue and dared not cause it any harm.

Out of this fear, even though the whip could have hit her, the principal withdrew it, because hitting her would have also damaged the goddess statue.

"I see!"

Although she couldn't understand why the principal was afraid, Loria felt that she had seized the opportunity to win.

"Loria, go quickly, don't worry about me!"
