You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

This tragic scene was undoubtedly caused by the corruption of the will of the evil god of the abyss.

However, after investigation, the prophet showed no signs of contact with the will of the abyss—except for the prophecy he gave to the third prince when he was still in the womb.

From that moment on, Rodel knew that he was the one who had killed the prophet.

Out of his own selfishness as a father, and because he was young, strong, and full of vigor at the time, he did not think it was something that could not be solved.

Rodel used many methods to minimize the possibility of Meredith being corrupted by the abyss, but when he was born, he still attracted the attention of the evil god.

It was at that time that Rodel had a direct confrontation with the evil god, and as a result, he almost dropped from the [Crown Rank], and now his power is dwindling, and his body has also weakened considerably due to the evil god's erosion.

Even after paying such a high price, in the end, the child still couldn't escape his predetermined fate.

"When He descends, I will protect my people and will not let His plot succeed!"

Rodel slowly rose to his feet, his aged body once again radiating a powerful aura.

Regardless of the outcome, this was probably his last battle.

Inside the adventurer's tavern, Aaron, after being hit by a series of blows, drowns his sorrows in alcohol every day. Many members of his adventure group have also left in disappointment, except for a few die-hard followers who are still persisting.

"Commander, you've had too much to drink..."

Seeing Aaron like this, his followers felt bad and were about to step forward to dissuade him, but they were startled by the sudden look in his eyes.

His once heroic eyes are now filled with gloom and bloodshot veins, as red as a brutal and ferocious beast, flashing with a murderous light that seeks to devour its prey.

Just as his followers were about to flee in panic, Aaron's eyes suddenly twitched, and he slowly looked back.

At the end of his line of sight was Meredith, but today, he seemed different to Aaron.

The arrogant and childish expression that Meredith used to have vanished from her face at this moment, leaving only a cold indifference.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Aaron's pupils contracted, and the ramblings that had plagued his mind for days, driving him to the brink of madness, suddenly erupted into an even more violent and noisy sound after a brief silence, causing his brain to swell and blood to slowly seep from his seven orifices.

"Accept your destiny, follow me, and become the master of the world."

Meredith's eyes shone with an eerie pink light, drawing Aaron staggering toward him.

The instant their hands touched, a pink light suddenly bloomed, and the two disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, the team members responsible for investigating Cecilia's father's case gathered inside the Holy Church, all feeling somewhat uneasy.

The matter concerning Cecilia's father has been thoroughly investigated, and the goal of proving his innocence has been achieved. However, what is more important is to face the great calamity that is about to engulf the entire human world.

Inside the church, huge communication images stand on either side of the majestic statue of the God of Light, reflecting the statues of the Mother of All Forest and the Moon Goddess.

In front of them, there was a scene of the Elf High Priestess Serene and Arya leading other core members of the church in prayer.

Nora watched her aunt's devout prayer with a look of admiration and reverence in her eyes. Then she turned to Cecilia, who was sitting cross-legged before the statue of the God of Light, quietly wiping her knight's greatsword, and asked, "Aren't you going to pray?"

Although her aunts and the others hadn't explained the situation to her, the sense of impending crisis was already quite evident in what was happening.

Something terrible is about to happen in the capital.

Nora adjusted her breathing. Experiencing such a big battle in her debut was something she could only hope to do well and live up to the reputation of her aunt and mother.

Freya sat on a pew in the church, quickly recording the results of her investigation over the past few days. The sound of her typing on the keyboard was hurried and noisy.

One of the reasons she was brought here was because of her relationship with Shiloh.

Otherwise, she should be out there carrying out missions as usual, just like the other squad leaders.

Freya originally wanted to leave, but Cecilia's words made her freeze in place.

"Don't let Shiro get distracted; he's our only chance of victory."

Because of this statement, Freya reluctantly accepted the fact that she could do nothing but stay there.

Click—

As she typed the last character, Freya clenched her fist, looked up at Cecilia, and asked, "I have a question."

"You said."

“I know we can’t let Shiro get distracted right now… but why are Elena and Furlo still at the Lorthene Magic Academy?”

Both of them are at the [Void Realm] level. It is said that Elena is currently the one who steals food the most. I wonder where all that food went, as her level has not increased at all.

Letting these two wander around outside makes them easier targets, doesn't it?!

Upon hearing this, Cecilia paused in wiping the blade. Looking down, she saw her own blue eyes reflected in the clear, sharp surface of the sword.

“She’ll be alright…I believe in her, and Shiloh believes in her too.”

Cecilia did not answer directly. After saying this, she sheathed her sword, then slowly closed her eyes and entered a state of deep concentration.

At this moment, Freya naturally couldn't disturb the other party. After gritting her teeth, she could only sit back down helplessly and scratch her hair.

Since this is Lord Shiloh's plan... you must both come back safely, Elena and Frollo.

Don't make him sad.

"Sister Elena..."

"Okay, focus."

It was the time for the academy to let out, and Fufuro, who had come to pick up the girl as usual, suddenly changed her expression. Her elven bloodline was unconsciously activated, adding a touch of gold to the girl's gray eyes.

Elena patted Fphro on the back, signaling her to relax.

But beneath her cool expression, Elena's heart was already pounding wildly under extreme tension and a sense of crisis.

Thanks to her usual "training" that keeps her heart pounding but her expression unchanged, Elena exudes a reassuring calmness, which eases the tension for Fluffy standing beside her.

"Phew~ Elena, you really look like the master now!"

"Is that so..."

Elena paused for a moment, then tossed her hair and joked, "Is this what people mean by 'couples looking alike'?"

"Uh-huh……"

The two chatted as they walked, seemingly unaware of the eerie pink light emanating from the eyes of the seemingly normal students around them.

Swish-!

Without warning, the heads of the surrounding pedestrians, like mechanical parts, simultaneously turned their gazes toward the two people without moving their bodies!

This sudden scene startled Fufuro. The girl's elven bloodline was fully activated, and without any hesitation, she raised her hand and unleashed fire magic, transforming it into a ring of fire that protected herself and Elena and blasted it outwards!

Under the intense bombardment of flames, pedestrians nearby were thrown back by the blast wave and crashed heavily into the crowd behind them, instantly clearing a safe area.

"Elena, let's go!!!"

Just as Fufu was about to press the teleportation device to escape, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, the crowd gazing at them dissolved their outer layer, revealing an ugly, muddy appearance beneath the disguise. Moments later, this transformed into an overwhelming cage that forcibly disabled the spatial teleportation device and buried the two women's figures.

By the time reinforcements from the academy arrived, Elena and Fufro had already vanished without a trace.

Damn it!

The scene sent chills down the spines of the arriving teachers. On their way there, they had been stopped by a group of students corrupted by the evil god. By the time they arrived, they saw that the two lovers of Shiro had been captured by creatures from the abyss.

This is really bad. When Shiro comes to punish them, they will at least be demoted.

"An evil god's power has invaded the academy. Level One alert activated!!!"

Under the current circumstances, we can only take it one step at a time and try to minimize the losses.

Just after the teachers left, two people wrapped in stealth robes sneaked out from a corner of the academy that no one paid attention to.

Once the academy activated its highest level of alert and a magical barrier was erected in the sky, he took out a disc-shaped universal key and a teleportation device from his personal space and quickly teleported away.

sieve--!

With the universal key, the academy's magical barrier could not block their spatial teleportation, and after a short while, a bright and holy church appeared before their eyes.

"Who is it?!"

Upon seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, Freya and Nora were startled, thinking they were invading enemies. They instinctively wanted to fire bullets and arrows at them, but Cecilia stopped them.

"Looks like it was a success?"

Cecilia, who had just been meditating, suddenly opened her eyes after sensing the unfamiliar presence, stood up from the ground, and looked up at the two people opposite her who seemed somewhat indistinct.

"Yes, it went smoothly."

Seeing that Cecilia had stopped the attack, the two breathed a sigh of relief, and simultaneously pressed their hands to their faces before removing half of their masks.

As the masks were removed, Freya and Nora blinked, only to find that the demeanor and appearance of the two people in front of them had suddenly changed, and they looked very familiar.

"Oh dear, Sister Freya, Miss Nora, you almost scared me to death!"

The petite woman in black robes on the right looked up and was none other than Fufro, while the tall woman on the left was, of course, the one with the most striking figure.

"F, F, F, Elena? Who were you just now—?"

Elena waved her hand, not answering Freya's question first, but looking at Cecilia with a solemn expression: "He has now successfully 'captured' me and Frost, and will definitely activate His divine descent next. We can begin to implement our countermeasures!"

"Okay, well done."

From the other end of the communication spell that had been maintained, came Gwen's cold voice.

After a brief moment of praise, Gwen temporarily muted herself and issued orders to all relevant agencies for the drills that had already been simulated countless times.

"It actually worked... Heh, I'll praise you this time, Elena."

The voice of the eldest princess Zeno came through, and although it still sounded arrogant, for the first time, there was respect for the brave in her words.

"Elena, you did a great job. Leave the rest to us, don't worry."

Anya's stern voice became very gentle at this moment, which brought a sense of comfort to Elena's heart, who had just escaped death.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Anya."

The feeling of being acknowledged made Elena blush slightly, her heart fluttering with excitement. But then she noticed Cecilia's meaningful gaze beside her, and the smile that had unconsciously crept onto her face turned serious as she narrowed her eyes and asked, "What?"

Cecilia simply shrugged at this "veteran" who had joined Shiloh's harem around the same time as her, without saying much. She just patted Elena on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I was just thinking that if the plan fails and you guys really get caught, that would be troublesome."

"Huh? I already said I was confident, right? And I already promised Xiluo that I would come back safely. Don't underestimate me."

Elena retorted, but Cecilia didn't argue this time. Instead, she patted Elena on the shoulder again and gave her a bright, radiant smile: "I just want to say, Fluffy, Elena, you two are really brave and amazing!"

Elena's eyes glazed over as she watched Cecilia's retreating figure, who was giving her a thumbs-up. After a few moments of silence, she suddenly clicked her tongue and muttered, "What's with all the showing off... Don't even think I'll hold back when I'm trying to steal Shiloh later, okay?"

Fufro smiled and waved to Cecilia's retreating figure, glanced at Elena whose lips unconsciously curved upwards, blinked, and then smiled with her eyes crinkling.

Anyway, this time I finally managed to help my master.

"Um, what exactly happened? Can you tell us now?"

Completely oblivious, Freya and Nora stared at each other blankly. Finally, after Cecilia left, they were able to ask Elena about the situation.

Elena patted Fphro's little head, signaling her to explain, while she herself walked to the bench, sat down, and meditated under the protection of the God of Light.

"Alright! Then let Fuplo answer your questions!"

From the very beginning, Shiloh knew that the matter of Camberloh was bait thrown out by Slaanesh in order to transfer him away from the capital and take this opportunity to perform another divine descent in the capital.

There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, so Shiloh chose to leave the capital and instead threw out a bait that would bring down Slaanesh.

Faced with this bait, even if Slaanesh suspected it might be a trap, he had no reason to refuse this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As for Fphro and Elena, they were the second bait thrown out by Shiloh.

To prevent the first bait from failing, the second bait was another significant weight added to Slaanesh's scales of reasoning.

As the god who governs Slaanesh, He understands very well that emotions are something that mortal beings may pay any price for.

Shiloh's other lovers are either too powerful to capture or have already been protected.

Only Fuphro and Elena were still wandering around outside, and they met the important condition of not being strong enough.

In this situation, Slaanesh had no reason to hesitate. Even if Shiro was involved, he believed that with his power, these two weak mortals had no way to resist him.

So, after Slaanesh sensed that the shadows beneath Camberloh were trapping Shiloh and the others, he couldn't wait to manipulate Meredith and find Aaron, intending to fuse the two to create a body capable of bearing his divine descent.

Chapter 245 The Boomerang of Stealing Love

The moment that truly unveiled the chaos was when Elena and Fphro were captured.

With them in hand, they will surely make Shiloh hesitate to act rashly.

Slaanesh was right; Elena and Fphrodite were indeed bait thrown out by Shiro, but He was too blindly confident in His own power.

Back when Elena entered the magic academy, in this place teeming with geniuses, she was acutely aware that her original talent was nothing special.
