The truth of the matter is often simpler and more absurd than one can imagine.

 

There was never any intricate or profound plan or conspiracy, everything was just a tragic obsession that persisted for three hundred years for the sake of love.

 

To save one person, would you kill a million?

 

Humans, sometimes more than true monsters, resemble monsters.

 

No wonder the flesh cocoon fought desperately to protect Aphra inside, it turns out to be a distorted creation, mixed with Ulysses’s final strong obsession.

 

However, the deceased lord, who is fundamentally dead, may not be aware that Aphra’s body has long been eroded in the three hundred years, leaving only the shadow of the mirrored image, which is preserved until now.

 

Three hundred years of effort, depleting the souls of millions, turned out to be nothing more than nurturing a powerful equipment.

 

Countless soul essences, even the power of Ulysses himself after merging with the 【Seed of Blasphemy】, became the fuel for cultivation. What was born three hundred years ago, after all, should be much stronger than it is now.

 

Pitiful and lamentable.

 

But…

 

Violet couldn’t help but ask herself, if it were her in the same situation, for the sake of someone like Xiao Guang, what would she do?

 

……………………….

 

Forget it, there’s no need to ponder over these meaningless things. After all, I have the magic of resurrection, there’s no need to resort to those dubious methods.

 

In the end, the root cause of the tragedy is simply a lack of sufficient power to change everything.

 

Furthermore, Violet still hasn’t figured out why the 【Seed of Blasphemy】, silent for three hundred years, suddenly started to act towards the outside world at this particular moment.

 

Is it really just a coincidence?

 

Moreover, she hasn’t found any clues about the owner of the strange room in Bavo Town.

 

Having barely calmed her stirred emotions, Violet surveys the surroundings.

 

As usual, Xiao Guang and Lucas are standing in their original positions. Miss Edwina, who appeared in the mirrored world for some unknown reason and had some interaction with her in the Fallen Dragon Valley, is still walking towards them.

 

But… are these just fleeting memories?

 

“Xiao Guang.”

 

“Yes? Master?”

 

The little dragon girl tilts her head in confusion. She feels that her master’s expression suddenly became a bit unpleasant after touching that brooch.

 

“Destroy this place.”

 

“…? Alright, I understand!”

 

Although she doesn’t understand the meaning behind Violet’s command, it doesn’t affect the speed at which the giant dragon executes her mistress’s orders. Moreover, destruction is the simplest thing for her.

 

Dragon wings unfurl, and the golden-haired girl ascends into the vast, pitch-black night sky. Hovering over the core area of the Forgotten Land below, she takes a slow breath and opens her seemingly harmless little mouth.

 

A gathering of white light begins.

 

On the other side, Violet has already released Lucas from summoning and, casually grabbing the unknown Holy Knight girl by the back of her collar, brings her into the air.

 

“Miss V-Violet!?”

 

Edwina is both astonished by the pristine and sacred wings unfolding behind the black-haired girl and confused by her sudden and seemingly offensive actions. But before she can start to struggle, the splendid and radiant dragon language spell has already covered the sky.

 

Then, the breath of destruction descends.

 

“Wow!”

 

The tide of terrifying white energy pours down from the sky like a galactic sanction from a divine fist, brightening the night in the Forgotten Land as if it were daylight.

 

The rushing gust nearly sweeps Edwina away, and her body emits the creaking of bones under the unbearable burden.

 

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!”

 

Edwina couldn’t imagine that even in such a distant place, the wind generated by the impact alone was enough to make it unbearable for her as a Earth-level, 【Fearless Knight】 rank. What terrifying power would the frontal beam of light unleash?

 

The next moment, she saw it.

 

It surpassed all previous impacts, something the girl would remember for the rest of her life, true destruction.

 

The brilliant white beam pierced through the ground, instantly melting countless soil and rocks, creating a crater with a diameter of several hundred meters. The ruins of the former lord’s mansion and the shattered Mirror Gate turned into dust in the air.

 

However, this was just the beginning of the destruction.

 

After a brief moment of silence, the earth began to erupt with countless white intense lights.

 

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands…

 

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

 

The entire Forgotten Land was torn apart by the countless intense lights emerging like mushrooms after rain, turning into fragmented pieces. The earth cracked open, the undead were vaporized, and even the accumulated gloomy death aura of centuries was swept away.

 

With just one strike, millions of undead in the entire Forgotten Land were eradicated. The ground of the entire city sank nearly twenty meters, and the central core area turned into a bottomless abyss.

 

Violent, true purification.

 

Furthermore, Edwina noticed that even before the aurora began to erupt, Miss Violet, who was grabbing her, sighed as if finding it troublesome. She waved her staff and threw hundreds of golden light rings into the distance.

 

One of them landed automatically on Edwina.

 

The light ring transformed into a cylindrical shield with a diameter of two meters, enveloping the holy knight. The fierce shockwaves that almost broke her bones and the subsequent powerful impacts had no effect on Edwina, thanks to the shield.

 

Moreover, the shield remained motionless, showing that there was still room to spare.

 

As for the other light rings, it was obvious that Miss Violet was protecting the survivors still present in the Forgotten Land.

 

Even if she released such powerful protections hundreds of times simultaneously and precisely directed them into the distance, the black-haired girl beside her showed no signs of being overwhelmed.

 

To be honest, Edwina already considered these two mysterious girls to be very powerful, possibly legendary or even transcendent beings.

 

However, now it seemed that she knew nothing about true strength.

 

If it weren’t for her unwavering faith in the Goddess of Light, the girl might have worshipped these two as true gods.

 

Just as tumultuous thoughts arose in her mind, the clear voice of a priest echoed in Edwina’s ears amid the booming explosions in the dark night.

 

“Miss Edwina, didn’t expect to see you again so soon, did we?”

 

To be honest, I don’t care about why you’re here, and I won’t inquire. But let’s make it clear: I’m a person who dislikes trouble, so you better not make any strange moves or later publicize anything. It’s in the best interest of both parties.”

 

“If we can just pretend that nothing happened tonight, that would be the best. Consider it… your reward for being saved. Is that acceptable?”

 

“Miss Violet…?”

 

The holy knight girl wanted to say something, to assure the other party that she would keep the secret. Unfortunately, Edwina couldn’t convey her voice in this noisy environment, so she could only nod earnestly.

 

“Oh, that’s good then. After this, there shouldn’t be any more undead in the Forgotten Land. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can try to help the survivors along the way when you leave. They should be from a certain merchant caravan… well, forget it, it doesn’t matter. Just do as you feel like.”

 

“Remember, the destruction of the Forgotten Land was because the undead angered the gods. It has nothing to do with Miss Violet and her companions.”

 

“Well then, until we meet again.”

 

The golden light shield beside her fluctuated, and Edwina began to descend lightly, returning to the deep pit that had been completely purified by the light of destruction.

 

When the holy knight looked up again, the beautiful girl with white wings and her guardian had already disappeared into the dark night.
