<span style="background-color:transparent">As the second wave of moonlight once again enveloped the world and the sun''s rays re-entered everyone''s eyes,
<span style="background-color:transparent">
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The knights stared nkly at the sky, trembling uncontrobly.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That terrifying power, as if about topletely shatter the spiritual realm, filled people with utter despair.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Leading the knights and observing from the side, Knight Commander Mark, seated on horseback, pped himself hard across the face.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Suddenly, he snapped back to reality.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He stared nkly at Viktor, who had his back turned to him.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">His heart felt like a ten-story building copsing, filled with boundless shock.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He was now immensely grateful that when he received the wanted notice from the Delin family, he hadn''t acted rashly and sent people to capture Viktor.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That would have probably been a one-way trip.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Mark was terrified in hindsight; Viktor was clearly not an existence these knights could confront.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Even if all the knights in the Northern Frontier were mobilized, they might not be able to touch the hem of this terrifying mage''s coat.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">At this moment, he even had a ridiculous thought.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Since mages are so powerful...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Is it toote to change careers now?
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor''s coat fluttered slightly.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">His gaze was fixed on the [Believer] who was now on the brink of death.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Moonlight was a special magic that Viktor had learned from Aurelianne.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Unlike the six major natural systems of magic, moonlight had no rank; its power was entirely determined by the user''s soul strength and mana quantity.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">And Viktor''s mana quantity...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Probably only a Cmity could withstand two such attacks.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Moreover, the Jaxu before him was just a low-level goddess believer.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">This kind of faith-generated ethereal creature couldn''t even be considered a normal boss unit.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But it wasn''t dead yet.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">To be precise, Viktor had left it alive.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The writhing monster screamed at Viktor:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Guu—"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Kill—me—"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The chaotic voice became extremely weak as Viktor slowly walked to the side of the ck flesh mass.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The huge ck body filled the entire Delin mansion, its height evenparable to the Silver Barrier.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor''s expression remained unchanged as he looked up at the ugly flesh.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Looking at the giant mouths scattered randomly on it, mixed with green slime flowing down.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Deep within the giant mouths, several forked tentacles were slowly pulsating.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Under the scorching light, they were being burned, thus dancing more frantically.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Are all the believers of your Goddess of Justice as dim-witted as you?" Viktor asked.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Upon hearing this, the ck flesh suddenly swelled up, as if enraged.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The giant mouths were instantly torn apart by the tentacles that surged out, ck blood gradually dripping down from the surface, lunging fiercely towards Viktor.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Gwen, holding her long sword, gradually applied force to her feet.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She was ready to join the battle immediately if Viktor found himself in a predicament.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But facing the fierce attack, Viktor remained calm and unhurried.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A green glow suddenly lit up behind him, and countless thick vines burst forth from the ground, entangling with the ck tentacles, entering a stalemate.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Then, the coat behind him suddenly lit up with red patterns, growing into a giantva hand, which he raised.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He spread the giant hand into a palm and pped it fiercely towards what could be considered the face of the flesh mass.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Boom!
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Instantly, the surrounding storm trembled violently, the powerful aura overturning everything around.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Even the Silver Fortress creaked and groaned under the gale.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">With one p, the ck flesh mass fell into a deathly silence.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Really now."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"You won''t settle down unless you get pped in the face, will you?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The power of this p not only silenced it.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">It also calmed down everyone present.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">At this moment, all eyes were on Viktor.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">They watched him standing amidst the ruins of the Delin mansion, facing that incredibly huge and terrifying monster.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">They seemed to have grown ustomed to the shock Viktor brought them.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Now, there was only one question in everyone''s minds.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">What exactly was this monster before them?
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Why did this creature suddenly appear after Viktor killed Jaxu?
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But soon, Viktor provided them with an answer.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">On Viktor''s body, endless mana arose out of thin air, carrying magical power, inscribing numerous runes upon the flesh mass.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">In the haze, one bright magic array after another began to light up continuously on the monster''s body.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Hum! Hum! Hum!
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">One after another, magic arrays of different colors began to appear continuously from the flesh.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That mass of flesh seemed to be constantly impacted by some external force, writhing frantically.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Finally, something like a stone began to pulsate within the ck flesh, and was eventually spat out along with green slime from a giant mouth.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"That is!"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The knights immediately widened their eyes, looking in disbelief at what had been spat out by the flesh.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A lean body covered in numerous wrinkles.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"That''s! Master Angus!" Mark''s pupils suddenly contracted, his heart feeling as if it had been tightly squeezed, causing a bout of dizziness.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That was the teacher''s corpse.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">At this moment, it appeared before him in such a manner.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">All the knights suddenly realized what had happened.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Angusy helplessly on the ground, his body no longer showing any signs of movement.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Ke widened her eyes even more, staring at her dead father, falling into a daze.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That great Northern Knight had died just like that, in his own home.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">At this moment, everyone realized.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Angus''s death was not idental, but he had been swallowed by this monster.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But why did Jaxu know that Angus was dead?
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Could it be...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Most of the knights realized the answer, but no one dared to think further.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor, with his hands in his pockets, looked down at Angus''s slime-covered corpse, his eyes showing not a hint of emotion.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"He deserved to die."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The truth was now clear; Angus''s corpse was the best evidence of Viktor''s innocence.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor nced at the believer and snorted coldly.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">To allow their revered goddess to descend to the world again, the fanatical and obsessive believers would stop at nothing.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The first step to make Gwen approach the Goddess of Justice was to make herpletely adhere to absolute justice in her heart.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Topletely extinguish those unstable factors of her humanity.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Absolute justice should not possess even a fraction of basic human desires and morals.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Not favoring anyone, not leaning towards any side, acting solely for the sake of pure justice.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The believers had been calcting Gwen''s fate from the very beginning.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">From the moment of Gwen''s birth, from the first time the "Heart of Justice" showed its edge, she had been dragged into a trap by the crazy believers.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Everything was nned to make Gwen sever her familial bonds and extinguish herst conscience as a human being.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Heh.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">What a ridiculous n.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor''s eyes held contempt as he said calmly:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"You''ve always wanted Gwen to kill you, right?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Well then, I''ll grant you that wish."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">As he finished speaking, Viktor no longer spared a nce at the flesh mass.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He simply turned around and walked towards the ground covered in wild grass.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Countless knights automatically sheathed their swords, making way for him.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Afterwards, they turned their gaze towards Gwen.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">As if having made some decision, Gwen walked to the front of that evil entity.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She slowly raised the silver sword in her hand.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The silver sword looked incredibly bright and pure under the sunlight, a golden holy power gradually entwining around the de in Gwen''s hand.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">It was as if the Goddess of Justice had appeared behind her, transforming into a spirit, jointly grasping the hilt of the sword.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Gwen''s eyes were filled with unwavering determination; she felt a heaviness on her shoulders, yet her heart waspletely calm.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">[Atles''s Holy Sword]
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Finally, apanied by the descent of that holy light, the de fell in Gwen''s hand with a sh.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Raising a golden tidal wave, it suddenly engulfed the ck flesh.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Boom!
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Swoosh!
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Sensing the approaching danger, the believer''s giant mouths and tentacles trembled continuously, trying to reject that holy attack.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But by now, it was left powerless.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That de symbolizing justice suddenly fell, and the ck body slowly shattered into fragments within the tidal wave, its consciousness gradually blurring.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">In the end, it turned into flying debris, dissipating under the light.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The extreme faith in the Goddess of Justice ultimately died under the de representing justice.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">How ironic.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The ck fragments turned into flying snow, curling up from the ground towards the sky, gradually dissipating.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Sunlight prated through the clouds, passed through the fragments, and slowly fell upon Gwen.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">On the silver armor, it was as if she had donned a golden robe, utterly sacred.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She gazed at the mansion ruins under the sky, lonely and sorrowful.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Gwen sheathed her de, lowered her head, and closed her eyes.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She ced one hand on her chest.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Countless knights made the same gesture, silently mourning.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Beneath the ruins on this greennd, it seemed as if a new justice was growing anew.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">......
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">After a period of change, public opinion in this part of the Northern Frontier underwent a drastic transformation.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor, who could stop children from crying at night, had now been cleared of suspicion and be a hero in the hearts of the people.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">And Jaxu became the sinner who rebelled against Angus''s rule and killed his own father with his own hands.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor, in alliance with Gwen, ultimately beheaded Jaxu.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Although the knights present had all witnessed the true scene at that time, not one of them spoke the truth.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">What the knights saw that day was so shocking that it would be etched in their memories for life.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The position of the Delin family head became vacant due to the deaths of Angus and Jaxu.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Ke, as the eldest daughter, was not involved in the turmoil of the knight family.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Thus, by direct order from Emperor Aubrey in the royal capital,
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Gwen inherited the position of family head and seeded Angus''s title of Earl.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">However, Gwen did not inherit Angus''s task of guarding the North.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She didn''t want to stay in this ce full of painful memories anymore.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She wanted to return to the royal capital and continue to uphold her small sense of justice.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The Northern Frontier fell into chaos without a leader, so Ke chose to stay in the North to temporarily manage the order of this ce.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Moreover, she received a mission.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Involving the demonic incidents appearing in the Far North, she needed to personally investigate this information.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">......
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">At this moment, sunlight was pouring into the Kravina family mansion.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Lia was in her bedroom, trying on several outfits in front of the mirror.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She seemed to be in a good mood, humming a tune as she twirled in front of the mirror.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Lia tried one outfit after another, but couldn''t find one she was satisfied with.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">An elf sat on the edge of the bed, idly fiddling with a dagger in her hand.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Miss Lia, you seem very happy?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Hm? Do I?" Lia responded casually, picking up two outfits andparing them in frustration.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Which one should I wear?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She turned around, holding the clothes, and asked the elf.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Leon, help me see which one suits me better?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"You look beautiful in any outfit, Miss Lia."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Hearing Leon''s ttery, Lia became even more troubled.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Miss Lia, do you have something going on?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Leon looked at the somewhat conflicted Lia, putting away her dagger to avoid cutting any of Lia''s numerous outfits.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Viktor ising back from the Northern Frontier, I need to get back to the royal capital before he returns."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Lia continued humming, turning back to choose again.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">After all, being indecisive about choices can really make one feel distressed.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">After a while, Leon''s gaze suddenly sharpened.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She put her finger to her ear, as if listening to some report.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Mm, okay, I got it."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She nodded slightly and put her hand down.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">On Leon''s ear, a small, blue-glowingmunication crystal could be seen.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That was a small magical device used for remotemunication.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Very convenient.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Lia turned back, looking at Leon''s reaction, and couldn''t help but sigh:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"How is it? Judging by your expression, I probably won''t be able to go back?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"It''s like this, I''m sorry, Miss Lia..."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Leon lowered her head slightly, reporting:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"The ''children'' have caught a ve trader, and his identity seems somewhat special."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"They need you to go there in person to interrogate him."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">
