In the deserted church, Witch Slayer Jenny slowly approached the Holy Light Goddess Statue.
Due to the First Empire being expelled from the Holy Country’s sequence, most churches in the country haven’t been able to replace the statues, so the one in the church is a solitary statue of the Holy Light Goddess Afra.
"Those damn rogues of the Tower of Truth, to commit such an act of desecration in a sacred place like the Holy Light Church, it’s truly outrageous!"
She gently opened the map, where the major cities were marked with crosses one by one.
"This should be the last one. It’s strange, what are they really trying to do?
Forget it, whatever.
I’ve accepted the money to rid others of their disasters, so I’d better finish the job quickly and report back to that man."
Jenny spoke while putting the scroll away, then she took out a dagger she carried and made a light cut on the palm of her hand.
Soon after, blood gushed out, dripping onto the ground.
With her other hand, Jenny took a match from her waist. As the flame ignited, the magic power within her surged and completely transformed, as if she had become a different person.
The blood that had just dripped, as if given life, no longer flowed around but gathered into a ball, floating in front of Jenny.
However, it wasn’t long before one part of the blood orb began to rot and decay, allowing Jenny to pinpoint where the Corrupted Egg was hidden.
"Still a double-yolked egg, one hidden guardian, one in plain sight.
Tsk, why does it seem like there’s a little bit of intelligence, but not much?
Such an important place, and there’s no one guarding it.
Do these people from the Truth Workshop even take their jobs seriously? This plan reeks of constant abnormality.
Something’s off..."
Though she kept complaining, her hands didn’t stop.
Under Jenny’s Blood Witch power, the blood transformed into small explosive beads and began to infiltrate the direction of the Corrupted Egg along the floor.
It wasn’t long before the blood beads were absorbed by the Demon Eggs.
Once the task was done, Jenny quickly dispelled the power of the Blood Witch and quietly left the cathedral, disappearing into the city under the cover of night.
After she left, Mort, once one of the twelve council members of the Tower of Truth, emerged from the void.
He used his powerful Divine Sense to inspect the condition of the Corrupted Egg and couldn’t help but sigh.
"As expected of the Witch Slayer, capable of even mimicking the supreme blood of the Blood Witch. Unfortunately, the Witch Plan remains the research achievement of the Tower of Truth.
How could you experiment subjects possibly know how to wield this power better than the Creator?"
Mort felt fortunate that it was Witch Slayer number sixty-three who came to do all this.
If it had been that man, his tricks might not have been enough to keep things hidden.
After all, according to the intel, Holy Sin Lette acquired all his knowledge from the Wise Sage.
Even though he was also one of the participants in the Witch Plan back then, his understanding of witches wasn’t up to the level of the Wise Sage.
However, dealing with a Witch Slayer who only partially understands Witch Power is still quite easy.
He spread his hand, and Magic Power surged within it, quickly forming an array, flying toward the underground Corrupted Egg.
After completing all this, he turned and left, disappearing into the darkness.
And everything that happened in this church was unknown to Lette.
Because right now, he was helping Emily remove the mark left by Demon Power within her.
The dense Holy Light was pouring into Emily’s body, causing wisps of black mist to rise from within her.
Emily sat there, her tears welling from the pain.
"Lette, be gentle, you’re hurting me. Wuwu~, Sister Joanna, look at him."
"Shut up! You brought all this upon yourself!"
Lette also didn’t expect the attachment of the witch’s soul to be this strong. Even Joanna’s powers couldn’t completely dispel the Demon Power within her.
Or perhaps, her spiritual power was simply too high, and her soul had always been exceptionally pure.
Thus, once it got tainted, trying to cleanse it would be a painful ordeal.
"It’s odd, why didn’t this happen last time when borrowing Sister Lilith’s power."
"You know it was because you borrowed Lilith’s power. She’s one of your own, of course, she’ll restrain her power so as not to leave a trace within you.
Do you think every demon in the world is Lilith?
Even if they were as kind-hearted as Lilith, unwilling to taint your soul.
But they’d need the skill to ensure the Magic Power remains cohesive and leaves no trace within you.
"Honestly, you can’t go without causing trouble as soon as I turn my back.
The sequelae from the magic power depletion syndrome haven’t even fully recovered, and now you pull this!"
"You truly are something!"
Joanna’s ghostly figure could only shake her head in frustration: "Lette, like this, I fear it won’t be cleaned properly. I think we should consider other methods.
Let Lilith take a look later, she should have a solution."
"Wow! Sister Joanna, please don’t give up on me!"
Emily was startled: "Am I beyond saving?"
Joanna was both amused and annoyed: "It’s okay, even if you’ve been tainted with some aura of the Demon Realm, it doesn’t matter. Besides, your soul is inherently large.
Lette, stop scaring her."
Lette snorted: "A little scare isn’t bad, let her realize the severity, so she doesn’t cause trouble every day."
