Chapter 1 With Silver Bell-like Maniacal Laughter

Accompanying it was a silver bell-like maniacal laughter echoing through the foundation level of Lichtenstein Castle.

"You pack of stray dogs, why aren't you laughing now?!"

The empire's goddess official, a follower of the Rebirth Church, shouted triumphantly at the group.

It was as if all the grievances and insults she had suffered from morning to afternoon had been liberated today.

Beside the goddess official, the noble mage girl of the Kreythe Empire, who was originally her teammate, had already woken up.

The noble mage girl was not a follower of the Rebirth Church, but was deceived. The very real expression on her face when the truth was exposed showed that.

Although the empire's noble mage girl was still not trusted by the challengers and was also bound, she had not been knocked unconscious for too long.

At this time, the noble mage girl just lowered her head, her breath extremely depressed.

It was like she had suffered not only the blow of betrayal.

But also a feeling that the only faint hope remaining in her heart had been shattered like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water.

"You...!"

The executioner was attracted by the voice of the Rebirth Church goddess official, angrily raising his giant axe, and then slamming it heavily on the ground as if deflated.

They really didn't have the heart and energy now.

They couldn't even muster the energy to be mocked by a cultist like this.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

They also gradually realized—

That the lawyer hesitated at the last moment, unable to bear to see them die, and did not use an overly dangerous epic card, only scaring away the Saintess of Destruction.

Looking at the result.

Perhaps it would have been better for them to risk their lives and make a decision with the Saintess of Destruction in the sanctuary.

But none of them could blame the lawyer.

Because the lawyer was probably that kind of person.

No matter how smart or calm he was, he couldn't personally send off his comrades.

This gentleness, bordering on foolish indecision, was the only weakness of the seemingly omnipotent lawyer, and also his fatal flaw.

But that's exactly why.

He seemed like a living person.

Making people willing to be his comrade, and even die before him.

"It doesn't matter... next time, we will definitely defeat the Saintess of Destruction."

"No matter who goes first, let's be brothers in the next life."

Sorrow permeated the sanctuary, they all knew that the farewell now might be forever.

Someone would disappear tomorrow morning.

The only thing that still gave them a glimmer of hope was the lawyer's still calm and composed appearance.

No one knew what he was thinking.

They didn't know if he was deliberately trying to reassure everyone, or if he really still had a countermeasure.

But if he had a countermeasure, why didn't he tell everyone about the follow-up plan?

Looking at the way he went straight to the kitchen just now, it only gave people a feeling of giving up, like "things have come to this, let's eat first."

Oh well.

This was originally a difficult game to win when encountering the Saintess of Destruction.

Blame the Rebirth Church for being too evil.

Everyone had already tried their best.

"The sun will set in a while."

"Yeah."

"I didn't even notice that the sunset looks so beautiful from this castle."

Accompanied by sighs and encouragement, a helpless smile appeared on everyone's faces.

Hyperion twitched his eyes as he watched from the side.

Unlike her, who often accompanied Lance, this group of people had not been in contact with Lance for long and did not understand the habits of the Lance clan.

That grandson is definitely secretly happy.

Usually when he's calm, he's really calm! Not even a bit of pretense.

Lance definitely still has a way, the situation is definitely not as bad as everyone thinks.

But now, looking at the emotions that had already been brewing among the challengers.

Hyperion didn't want to interrupt.

It always felt like telling the truth would make everyone very embarrassed...

"So the mountains and forests can really be dyed orange by the sunset."

Hyperion had a bit of sorrow and a gentle smile on his face, as if he was thinking of the person who would disappear after the sun went down, and said to everyone in the same direction with emotion.

So Hyperion could only use his actress-level acting skills to pretend that he didn't know anything, and integrate into everyone's atmosphere.

If his acting skills were good enough.

Maybe one day he could deceive the Goddess... because the merits had been deducted to the point where they couldn't be deducted anymore.

"You should all deceive yourselves and enjoy this rare final peace, I guarantee that Lady Saintess of Destruction will let you know what extreme pain is!"

But there was still one person in the sanctuary who, regardless of what the challengers thought, was screaming肆无忌惮.

The Rebirth Church goddess official looked at the challengers who cherished each other, and only felt even more 기대ing their despairing 모습 when they witnessed someone being killed tragically for five consecutive days!

After dark.

That extremely cruel Saintess of Destruction.

Will definitely make these poor people give up their dignity and beg for mercy before they die, and regret coming into this world!

Just as the atmosphere in the sanctuary was extremely divisive, Lance finally walked out of the kitchen.

He seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the sanctuary was very strange, his eyebrows slightly puzzled, but he tilted his head and didn't pay much attention to it.

He was the type who only cared about resting after getting off work.

Lance was still so relaxed, walked to the sofa and sat down on his own, even a little more lazy.

He was holding a glass of fresh iced grape juice in his hand.

At this moment, everyone was watching Lance, unable to understand what he was thinking.

And the Rebirth Church goddess official was even more fiercely staring at Lance, as if she had found the biggest target of hatred.

Lance didn't pay much attention to her, and slowly brought the cup to his lips and took a sip.

After the scarlet juice was stimulated by the ice cubes, wisps of cold air emerged from the goblet, and beads of water oozed out on the glass, making the goddess official, whose throat was dry after waking up, couldn't help but want to swallow.

After tasting it, he slowly returned the Rebirth Church goddess official's vicious gaze with his eyes.

"You are also a good seedling, but unfortunately, you have embarked on a邪道 (evil path)."

Lance's comments were full of the regret of an educator.

"There are still five nights, Lady Adelise will kill you all! You don't have to pretend anymore!"

The Rebirth Church goddess official seemed very sure that with her and Adelise's 권능 (authority), they would definitely still be able to kill them all.

"Really?"

Lance looked at her with a smile, asking with a slight hint of surprise in his tone.

There was a gentle feeling of a kindergarten teacher communicating with a child.

"Lance—!! You can only be stubborn now!!"

Just seeing Lance's face, the humiliation of the whole day seemed to be awakened in the Rebirth Church goddess official's mind, she shouted裂眦嚼齿 (with her eyes widened and teeth gnashing), her teeth were about to be crushed.

The others looked at Lance's child-teasing appearance, and their mood didn't calm down at all.

This kind of independent mentality is not something everyone can have.

However, the next second.

Boom!!!

Only a loud explosion was heard from the jungle, and bursts of smoke rose from the forest.

Causing everyone in the sanctuary to turn their heads reflexively and look out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the sanctuary!
