“Saint, did something happen here last night?”
“Our patrol boy sensed something was off and happened to see a group of unknown people smashing the wall of Anlis’s house not far away.”
“But because you, Saint, dealt with them instantly, we didn’t sound the alarm to avoid disturbing you.”
It hadn’t even been an hour since Vylian was supervising Anlis’s sword practice in the yard when the Village Chief came leaning on his cane to ask about last night’s events.
“Goodness, such a terrible thing happened last night. Please inform me of some details; I need to go to the city for a routine report. Sorry for the trouble.”
Anlis, who was repeatedly practicing basic sword techniques, couldn’t help but steal a glance.
It’s a blessing in disguise to be supervised in her own yard.
At least here, even if Vylian wanted to force her to slack off, she’d have to get past her mother.
“Huh? What happened last night?”
Anlis put down her wooden sword at the right moment, walked up quickly, and put on a confused expression.
She was well aware that last night she had appeared completely disoriented in Vylian’s eyes.
So she absolutely could not show any sign of knowing.
Success or failure often hinges on such subtle details.
“Well, it’s not a big deal. Everyone, let me explain.”
It wasn’t Vylian who spoke. Just as Vylian was pondering what excuse to use for last night’s commotion, a young nun walked gracefully from afar.
Everyone’s eyes fell on her, instantly revealing three completely different expressions.
“Oh, Sister Mary, what brings you here?”
The Village Chief’s face lit up with joy, his tone warm.
“I arrived last night, Chief Caro. You look even healthier than last time.”
“It’s all thanks to your care.”
The chief waved his hand with a smile, then looked surprised: “Eh, you say… you arrived last night?”
“That’s right. I was tracking a group of rampaging Corrupted Disasters and saw them infiltrate the village. I was worrying about how to deal with them, but luckily the Saint was here and wiped them all out.”
“I see! So they were terrifying monsters like Corrupted Disasters. Good thing our village has the Saint stationed here, or the village would have been in trouble.”
The chief sighed, then said, “Then I won’t disturb you all. I still need to go to the city to report this.”
“Better to send the village lads instead.”
Sister Mary quickly stepped forward, her tone concerned: “You’re getting on in years, and the road to the city is not short. You can’t handle the bumpy ride.”
“Eh, it’s nothing.”
The chief waved his hand and hurriedly turned to leave the yard.
Watching the chief’s figure recede, the nun’s gaze slowly returned to Vylian, her tone becoming respectful: “Long time no see, Saint.”
“What is it?”
“Naturally, I have important matters to report. May I have a word in private?”
The nun bowed slightly, posture humble.
“Fine.”
Watching the two leave side by side, Anlis did not step forward to interrupt. She silently retreated to the wooden post and picked up her wooden sword again.
She had immediately pulled up this “Mary” nun’s personal information.
[Name: Wubika Kachi]
[Lv: 279]
[Class: Corrupted Disaster (Disguised as Nun)]
[Corrosive Will: You are a being that walks in the concept of corrosion, favored by corrosion.]
[Cholera Deception: Your words are more easily believed, allowing you to corrupt others.]
[Demon King’s Gospel: Your power is blessed by the Corrupted Monarch, greatly increasing your strength, and you will be more favored by corrosion.]
In an instant, Anlis understood why her becoming a Hero had been exposed so quickly.
Back when she took her Job Class Test, this Wubika Kachi, disguised as “Sister Mary,” was the nun on routine duty at the Testing Ground.
After she awakened the Hero Job Class, the other had even come up to talk to her.
Not, bro.
Isn’t it a bit too outrageous that there are disguised Corrupted Disasters in the Holy Order?!
That’s the temple of God, yet it’s been infiltrated by Corrupted Disasters… This is really…
Speechless.
Anlis did not go over to eavesdrop on their conversation. She very conscientiously resumed practicing sword techniques.
Knowing too much now would only fester in her heart and increase her frustration.
With her current strength, she was powerless to change anything.
Only by getting stronger, secretly stronger, until she was strong enough to truly challenge the Demon King.
Anlis took a deep breath, raised her wooden sword, and swung it down heavily.
She still had a long way to go in training.
“Your Majesty, Wubika Kachi has come to apologize for her crime.”
Arriving at a deserted corner, Vylian set up a Shield Magic, and the next moment, Wubika Kachi knelt directly on both knees.
“Apologize? What is your crime?”
“The crime of being weak, failing to complete the task you assigned, and even bringing trouble to you, disturbing your plans and leisure.”
The kneeling “nun” lowered her head further: “Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
“No need. Weakness is not a crime. What I detest is being weak without knowing it. Remember today’s lesson well. As you are now, you can’t do much for me.”
“I understand, Your Majesty. I have not stopped my training for a moment. I am grateful for your forgiveness.”
“How is the matter I entrusted you going?”
“It is done. The biggest troublemakers last night have all been devoured by me. Now the entire Viscount Territory has no dissenting voices, all await your orders. Please give further instructions, Your Majesty.”
“I have nothing for you to do right now.”
Vylian thought for a moment and then answered, as her goal was very pure, and nothing else seemed very important to her.
With the Gods not appearing and the Hero not rising, she, Vylian, was the invincible existence in the world.
The only big thing in her eyes was to Cripple the Hero.
“For now, just do what you usually do. If there’s something important, I’ll come to you.”
“Alright. I am currently serving as a nun at the church in the city. If you need anything, you can come find me there.”
Speaking of this, a flicker of curiosity crossed Vylian’s eyes: “How did you manage to disguise yourself as a nun right under the nose of the Holy Order? Their anti-infiltration capabilities shouldn’t be this weak.”
She was well aware that the powerful Holy Light was like deadly poison to Abyss Creatures.
Even though Wubika Kachi had received her blessing, if she were immersed in the Holy Light for a long time, she would surely be exposed.
“Uh, this place is actually very remote. I figured it’s dark under the lamp. This backwater doesn’t have any sophisticated detection methods. As long as I don’t come into contact with the Holy Order’s higher-ups, it’s still quite safe.”
Is that so?
And here I thought it was something else.
The two exchanged a few more simple words and then didn’t say much more.
Wubika Kachi slowly stood up, as if remembering something. She quickly took out a silver-patterned card from her bosom and presented it with both hands to Vylian.
“By the way, Your Majesty, please accept this.”
“What is this?”
Vylian reached out and took the card. The moment her fingertips touched it, she felt the energy fluctuation contained within.
“This is the wealth accumulated by those Corrupted Disasters who resisted earlier. It holds about seven hundred thousand gold coins, stored in the city’s bank.”
“How much?!”
Sev- seven hundred thousand gold coins?
Converted in units of hundreds, it’s really a lot.
